"Or not"
Lise has completely uprooted her life to save her family
from a man who has fixated on her. She gets the idea that
if she moved away the stalker would give up. But when he
follows her to Seattle she fears that she has nowhere else
to turn. Joshua Watt has been sent to Seattle to bring Lise home for
Thanksgiving. He has no idea why she would leave her family
when she obviously loves them very much, but when he finds
out her reasons he makes it his mission to get rid of the
creep before he makes good on his promise to kill Lise. Josh moves in with Lise and he along with his pals Nitro
and Hotwire to trace the stalker known as Nememsis, but how
long will he be able fight the attraction he feels for Lise? READY by Lucy Monroe is the first of her new mercenary
series. READY takes you from Seattle, to Texas and
Vermont. Lise is a romance writer who has researched
mercenaries in the past but nothing prepares her for having
Josh and his partners living with her 24/7. Josh is a
professional mercenary who is getting tired of the life but
thinks that somebody as sweet as Lise could never accept
him or his former life. Lucy Monroe never fails to disappoint me. I love how I can
visualize the scenes in her book, especially when they get
to Josh's house in Vermont, it will make you want one of
those houses for yourself. Not to mention secondary
characters Nitro and Hotwire who grab your interest and
make you anxious for their stories. Barb Hicks

SummaryThey're the good guys fighting the bad guys. They'll get
the job done—if the price is right and so is the cause.
Meet three sexy men who individually are READY, WILLING, and
ABLE to go the distance—and together, are
unstoppable...
Joshua Watt's mission is simple: Go to Seattle and bring
Lise home for Thanksgiving or he'll never hear the end of it
from his sister. It's not like "Aunt Lise" to stay away from
their adorable niece, and Joshua's pretty sure he's the
reason for it. He's spent months trying to forget the taste
of her lips, the feel of her soft hair in his fingers. Yeah,
okay, he wants her—badly—but family comes first.
But the minute he sees the fear in Lise's eyes, his survival
instincts kick in. The former Army Ranger isn't about to let
some creep terrorize an innocent woman—not on his
watch. He's going to do what it takes to protect Lise and
try to keep his personal feelings out of it. Because if
there's one thing he's learned, it's that sex and work don't
mix. Not ever. So far...
