Title: Stand & Deliver
Series: Men of Haven Book #5
Stand Alone Title: yes
Author: Rhenna Morgan
Genre: Romance
Blurb: Security expert Beckett Tate has met his match in colleague Gia Sinclair. He longs to run his hands over each and every one of her lush curves. She’s wicked smart and wicked hot. He’s given her time to get used to the idea of “them,” but her time is up and he’s ready to go all in on claiming what’s his.
Despite her love of all things girlie, Gia’s no typical Southern belle. She’s built her skills and reputation in a field normally dominated by men, and now she has a kick-ass career she loves. She certainly doesn’t need a man to take care of her—especially not one who’s pure alpha. Still, Beckett’s the one man who can satisfy the desires she’s hidden under her tough exterior, and she’s hooked.
Letting Beckett take the lead in the bedroom comes naturally to Gia—not constantly proving herself to him professionally is more of a struggle. And when someone attacks her character and career, Gia and Beckett will have to find a balance: her willingness to let go just a little, with his trust in her abilities and his deep, primal need to protect his woman.
Favorite quote(s): “Been at this for almost three years. We just took too damned long getting to the good parts.”
“I’m not going to be with anyone else. You can try to be with someone else, I guess, but then they’ll end up with broken arms, legs, or both.”
“But the fact is, you cut my woman deep. That means I’m not walking out of this room until you bleed in equal measure.”
Thoughts: I’m new to Rhenna Morgan as an author, but if this is what I have to look forward to? Then I see a book reading binge in my near future! I loved this book. The characters were original and just stood out for me….and Beckett? Wow! While it may have taken him a bit to pursue Gia, once he set his mind to it? It made for some hot as hell scenes! I loved the sparks between these characters, and loved their story.
Don’t pass this one up!
