From the author of the bestselling Broken Trilogy and Dark Water Series comes Embeddedโ€”the second book in Stonewall, the heart pounding action and suspense series, where brotherhood binds them, and passion drives them even in perilous times.

 

Nicole Winter has many facetsโ€”a war correspondent, a protector, a mother in all but blood.
But those are just titles.
Nicole’s relentless drive for the truth was forged in war zones and honed by years of experience. Her instincts catch the shifts others overlook, and what whispers now is clearโ€” the Cartel is gathering strength, and war is coming. Once, she would have chased the story, but for the first time, she is in a position more dangerous than she has ever faced.
A secret.
A bond.
A betrayal.
Paul is recovering from his wounds, but the scars no one can see cut deepest. He canโ€™t forgive Nicole for putting his son in the spotlight, yet the child he never claimed is bound to her. Sheโ€™s a risk he canโ€™t afford, yet the only one who can protect his future.
Fueled by vengeance and ambition, Bruno Perezโ€™s recklessness gives Nicole the chance to do the unthinkable and return to the viperโ€™s pit, even if it costs her life.
As the team closes in and loyalties fracture, the green light unleashes the unimaginable. Blood is shed in the most unlikely places, and no one is beyond the line of fire.

 

Lita’s Book Review: 4 Stars
Embedded (Stonewall Trilogy Book 2) by JL Drake. This book basically picks up where book 1 left off. Nicole is trying to get herself and the baby back on US soil and to safety. The cartel is after the baby and Bruno Perez is hot on her trail. He wants Nicole for himself and the baby is just a pawn in all of this. Paul aka Eric is trying to deal with his duty to Blackstone, his newly discovered son and his ever growing feelings for Nicole. She knows all about the terrible things Eric has done however she doesn’t know Paul is Eric and Paul is the baby’s father. Paul is struggling with exposing these secrets to Nicole. While the two are struggling with their sexual attraction, Bruno is still in the background stirring up trouble and he still needs to be dealt with. The game of cat and mouse continues. There is definitely signs of betrayal. Grim and Trigger make an appearance in this story. I was glad to see them. If you haven’t read their series, please do. Oh so good. Havoc of Sins Series and Devil’s Reach series. There are so many things going on in this book and it has me looking forward to the conclusion of this series. Yes the story ends with a bang and a cliffhanger. I don’t want to give anything away. However Bruno is something else. He is cruel, crazy and a complete sociopath. Hopefully the wait for the last book will not be too long. 4 stars for me.
