ARC Review - Gabe by Maryann Jordan!

BLURB:

Alvarez Security Agency 

Former Special Forces brothers-in-arms now working together to provide an elite security service in the southern city of Richland. 

Gabe Malloy, dedicated to his brothers, spent his weekends with cheap booze and easy women. When some of his friends finally settled down, he wondered if he would ever find the woman of his dreams. He just never expected to encounter her in an alley. 

Jennifer Lambert worked as a social worker for the city and would often take food to the elderly residents in her building. One night, in an alley behind a restaurant, she was startled by a tall, handsome man wanting to assist. Giving him the cold shoulder, she left…but dreams of him followed her long into the night. 

Gabe knew the independent Jennifer was a woman worthy of knowing, but convincing the beauty that she needed him was the challenge. Raising her young brother plus the responsibilities of the elder center, had kept her from looking for love…but she took a chance on Gabe. 

Now that he found her, can he keep her safe when someone threatens her and those she loves? Calling upon his brothers, Alvarez Security races to save her before it is too late. 

****Due to scenes of an explicit sexual nature and language that some consider crude, please be warned - for 18+ only! If you do not like alphas with heart who fall instantly in love with strong female characters while dealing with real life issues...again be warned!!***** 

MY REVIEW:

Now this romantic suspense has put Maryann Jorodan's books on my MUST READ list! Gabe is such a tender, caring, protective alpha male that had my heart stuttering right out of my chest! This hero is similar to Susan Stoker's heroes and that instantly enthralled me. But Gabe had his very own characteristics that had me falling for him SO FREAKING MUCH! And Jessica, she is like the ideal heroine, tough, smart, beautiful and fits Gabe to a T! 

There was plenty of suspense that gets the heart pumping and loads of romantic, tender, spicy moments that had me squirming and sighing in ecstasy. I freaking dived into this book and wouldn't come up for air until I was practically yanked back kicking and screaming...I was THAT hooked on this book. I LOVED it and I regret NOTHING!

Gabe gets an ABSOLUTE AMAZING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! I can't wait for the next book!
