The one woman he wants…
When a childhood friend needs help, Nova doesn’t hesitate. They endured the foster system together, forging a bond Nova can’t ignore. Relying on her friends from Redemption Harbor Consulting—including Gage, the computer genius she’s falling for—is out of the question. She used to work for the CIA and she’s trained—she can handle this. Besides, the whole team is working on their own important jobs. She’s not going to drag anyone away when she’s not sure it’s necessary.
Is the one he can’t have…
When Nova asks for time off out of the blue—and use of the company jet—former Marine Gage takes note. Of course, he notices everything about Nova. But as one of her bosses, his growing attraction to her is a line he won’t cross. However, that doesn’t mean he’ll let her run straight into danger—and a quick hack of her computer proves she’s gotten in over her head. Gage is coming along for the ride, whether the sassy assistant likes it or not. He’ll do whatever’s necessary to save her friend…and keep Nova out of the clutches of a lethal enemy who won’t hesitate to kill anyone who gets in their way.

REVIEW:HUNTING DANGER is the fifth instalment in Katie Reus’ contemporary, adult REDEMPTION HARBOR romantic, suspense series focusing on the men and women who work security and Black Ops investigations for Redemption Harbor Consulting. This is Redemption Harbor’s computer hacker and US Marine Gage Yates, and former CIA analyst Nova Blaire’s story line. HUNTING DANGER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from several third person perspective including Nova and Gage HUNTING DANGER follows the building relationship between computer hacker Gage Yates, and former CIA analyst Nova Blaire as they find themselves on a cross country trip to rescue Nova’s childhood friend whose life is spiralling out of control. A coded text from Nova’s friend Layla Ferrer found our heroine going rogue in an attempt to help her friend who had always had her back but going rogue also meant the member of her Redemption Harbor Team were willing to be of assistance at a moment’s notice. Enter computer hacker Gage Yates, and the man with whom Nova would fall in love. What ensues is a cross country adventure where Nova and Gage will be the victims of sabotage, and gunfire as they attempt to whisk Layla into protective custody.
Gage Yates suspected Nova was trying to keep secret her need to help a friend in trouble but Gage never expected to find himself on a cross-country tour but least of all falling in love with the former CIA operative that calls to his heart. Nova Blaire was desperate to reach her friend knowing that time was of the essence, time that was hindered by sabotage, injury and the possibility of a target on their backs.
The relationship between Gage and Nova is one of friends to forbidden lovers; co-workers at Redemption Harbor Consulting. Gage has been attracted to Nova since first hearing her voice months earlier; and Nova battles memories of the past where workplace harassment ultimately cost her a job. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Nova’s best friend Layla Ferrer who is desperate to get away from the man with whom she was once in love. All of the previous story line couples are present: Colt Stuart and Skye Arevalo (Resurrection #1), Zac Savage and Olivia Carter (Savage rising #2), Brooks Alexander and Darcy Cooper (Dangerous Witness #3 ), Axel and Hadley (Innocent Target #4) as well as Hadley’s father Douglas Alexander. The requisite evil is two fold including an attack aimed at anyone connected to Brooks Alexander and his father Richard.
HUNTING DANGER is a character driven and edgy story line. The premise is inviting; the characters are charismatic and inspiring; the romance is captivating and seductive. My only complaint is the quick resolution to the story line conflict-I was hoping for a little more romance and suspense.
