Hunting Danger, Redemption Harbor Series,  Katie Reus

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: Romance

I'd only read book three in this series, each are advertised as stand alone and that one I loved, didn't feel I'd missed anything by not reading first two books.
I haven't read book four but when I saw this I expected to feel the same as I did with book three, that it would be complete on its own. It is....and yet I think I'd have got far more from it if I understood more about the whole group of characters, their dynamics and interaction. As it was, apart from Brooks and Darcy they were just names and I didn't feel the connection between the characters that I know would be there.

Its billed as romance, and it is but for me the romance fell second place to the suspense. Its a tightly written novel, well paced, well set out, but the romance side takes a while to warm up – its very much each likes the other but hides it, and seems as though that's been going on a long time. Now they're thrown together, in danger, and emotions run hot at a time like this. Its a question of what happens once that cools down, when they're thinking with clear heads once more.

Its an interesting story but I felt a bit disconnected from it, as I said I think even though its a stand alone it would work better if I'd read all of the others.
I do occasionally get tired of the “quick computer hack” that takes care of everything, tells where folk are, what they're doing, spies on them remotely – even when there hasn't been time to set up cameras...and of course knocks out those cameras who see what we don't want them to.
Its not just in this book, but a growing trend in many suspense reads. PCs can do lots, are a huge asset but they are machines, not miracle cures and I felt here that it was something a little over-used.

Stars: Three, a good read but would have been a great one if perhaps I'd read all the earlier books.

Hunting Danger by Katie Reus

5th Book in the Redemption Harbor romantic suspense series. It’s best to have read prior books. In particular because the last few chapters deal with criminals from the prior books and other character storylines.

Action, suspense, romance and love. Characters that steal your heart because of their unexpressed feelings. Such as: “Her friendship was one of the most important things in his life.” A group of coworkers that have deep and unwavering support of each their.
A fantastic series. I can’t wait for the next book.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. I also purchased a copy to share

HUNTING. DANGER by Katie Reus. Redemption book 5
A cryptic text from Layla , with code words, they chose when in the foster care program together, meant trouble. Then adding how Nova enjoyed Spa time, was a big elert. The chain of calls she made to use the jet for personal use, alerted the others on the team, even when she said nothing, What Layla saw her fiancée do, and sending a text and plan a get away, then she would be free. Gage is going with Nova, he saw her begining search, and no way was she going in alone. The guy her friend was with was on the DEA radar, bad news for anyone who knew him. Their pilot was shot, even with Gage now flying, crash landing was only option, someone had messed with the plane. If things weren’t so dangerous for them, maybe their feeling for each other would become known. The plot is great, you read the note, and you want answers. The characters of Layla and Gage.you will love, hopefully this trip they will get out alive, and be a couple. It is action packed, easy to read, and as always awaiting the next one. Given ARC by Net Galley and KR. Press for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

Nova and Gage have been sparring barbs - to hide that they are attracted to eachother. Nova calls Gagae a "Dumbass" because of the way he acts / and the answers he gives to her questions. Nova and Gage set out to save Nova's friend from her mob-drug cartel boyfriend. Noav and layla had devleoped a code word / sentence to let eachother know that they were in trouble. layla gives Nova a text message - singleing she needs to be saved.. Nova requests the private jet as a personal favor from her boss - Brook. Gage ags along to protect Nova after he hacks into the background of Layla's boyfriend. The plane crashes but Gage and Nova survie - and are resqued by a local farmer. I don;t want to give out the ending - just know that Nova and Gage are tpgether in the end. The book has lots of action and adventure. I must read.

4.25⭐
Hunting Danger was an engaging, thrilling, and exciting read. That at times had me on the edge of my seat. Thanks to pockets of action, suspense and a storyline that was not only fast paced, but hard to put down. Not to mention, full of likable characters and a romance that was sweet and enjoyable to read. And I'm really looking forward to reading more from this series, when book six is released in January 2019.

I really enjoyed Nova and Gage's story. They didn't let the little things (or big things) derail them from getting their HEA. I'm not sure the crash was really necessary, but it definitely added a little intrigue and holy-cow-ness to the story. I love these characters, so I'm glad there are more books in the works.

This was really good! It's the fifth book in the series and can be read as a standalone, however the series is great and if you've read the previous books then you'll get a lot more enjoyment from this one.
The protagonists are Gage Yates (co-founder of Redemption Harbor Security and hacker extraordinaire) and Nova Blaire (office manager for RHS and a former CIA analyst) whose romance has been simmering since Savage Rising and it was definitely worth the wait!

Nova sets off on a mission to help a friend she believes is in trouble and Gage refuses to let her go alone. There's plenty of danger and subterfuge and lots of sizzling chemistry! It was great to see what the other characters are up to as well.

As always the writing was faultless and the plot kept me eagerly turning the pages. Now I can't wait for Leighton's story to be published next year! Highly recommended!

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed all the previous books in this series, I was surprised to find I struggled finishing this advanced reader copy. I didn’t particularly feel a genuine connection between Nova and Gage, the main couple. I also didn’t buy into Nova, if she was so worried about her friend, not instinctively confiding her concerns to at least one member of her posse of professional rescuers. If nothing else, just so she wouldn’t waste precious time hatching a plan on her own at the very last second. It felt like she was going in blind with guns blazing, but left her gun at home, folks. The only thing that saved her from this stupidity was Gage going along uninvited for the ride.

I’m well aware this author interjects steam in her romantic reads. However, I wasn’t expecting Gage to so crass/crudely mentally comment about a naughty boy thing he wanted to do to Nova upon his first appearance in the storyline. Gesh, mentally take her to dinner first, buddy. Those few, brief words didn’t feel classy or up to par with this author’s usual leading men book characters. It felt just thrown in for no reason.

With an unlikely, life-threatening, out of the blue scenario featuring too many “WTH?” aspects to it that puts them in danger and then Gage’s knucklehead moments of pulling then pushing Nova away, by 68% into, this book became a “whatever” book. Meaning whatever happens from then on, I really no longer cared. Here’s to hoping others feel differently. I do usually love this author’s work. This one felt like a filler book just to keep the series going.

I have been eagerly awaiting Gage and Nova's story, and it did not disappoint! Their attraction has been captured in earlier books, and I have enjoyed watching them dance around each other for a while now. Their relationship ended up being everything I wanted and more! I really adore Gage, and I found it endearing that he thought Nova was out of his league. I understood and respected his hesitation, and I liked the way things played out. The suspense was interesting, but I found there were times that I didn't care about Layla and her ex and just wanted to see more Gage and Nova :) Overall, this was a fast moving, action-packed story with a fabulous romance!

*I received an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

Gage and the enigmatic Nova have their fun in the sun!

Gage feels a bit of a perv for lusting after Nova. She is his employee (kinda) but it's a bit to close to home. Similarly, Nova lusts after Gage but she has a lot of secrets in her cupboard which she doesn't want to expose to anyone, let alone Gage.

But when her best friend sends her a coded message for help, she wheedles the business jet and flies off to the rescue. Except she did not make the clean getaway she thought she had. Gage is on board and determined to get to the bottom of the mystery that is Nova.

Cue a plane crash, possessive (of the creepy kind) fiancé and a few narrow escapes and this is a rollercoaster ride!

I love the way this team will do anything for each other, whether it's fight merciless revolutionaries, bomb setting maniacs or just loaning out a multi-million dollar jet at the drop of a hat! Nova may have been CIA but she is still not quite the superspook. there are many layers to Nova and I loved learning about all of them. Similarly, Gage is protective and demanding without being sleazy or misogynistic.

I'm hoping there are many more to come in this series!

Nova gets a secretive emergency message from her former foster sibling and best friend. When Nova takes off mysteriously to go to Layla, Gage knows something isn't quite right. Being the great hacker that he is, it isn't hard for him to butt right into her rescue mission to keep both women safe.

I've been anxiously waiting for Gage and Nova's story. The author has done a good job of teasing us through out the previous books with their little dance of attraction. I knew it was going to have to be something big to get Gage to take the leap since he was holding back due to being one of her bosses. I think surviving a crash could qualify as something big.

For being on the shorter word count, this book packed a pretty big punch. It's pretty easy to get swept up into the action and Gage and Nova's continued dance. I found it endearing that Gage not only hesitated due to being one of her bosses, but also because he thought she was out of his league. It's not easy to pull off an alpha hero with some insecurities but it worked. Gage was a possessive alpha but also cute with his affection for Nova. I think I like that combination.

This is the first book in the Redemption Harbor series I have read, and I am hooked. I so enjoyed Gage and Nova’s drive and passion for each other. This book has a great cast of characters but a semi-predictable plot. There are some great twists and turns in this book which made it hard to put down. The only downfall I find with this book is now I have to get the previous four books in the series because as I said I am hooked!

Suspense, drama, action and steamy romance and two amazing lead characters in Nova and Gage. Hunting Danger is the fifth book in the Redemption Harbor series, these two have had a thing between them since their first encounter and this book gave them life. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by this great author.

This is book 5 in the Redemption Harbor books-it could be read as a stand alone book but I recommend reading the books before it so you understand not only the characters and interactions together but how the business came to be. This one is about Nova and Gage. Nova is basically the office manager for the group. She used to work for the CIA but prefers the work she does now. When a friend texts her for help she doesn't hesitate to step up and go to her rescue. Gage is the hacker for the group and a former Marine. When he finds out that Nova may be running right into trouble he goes along to try to keep her safe. Regardless of whether she wants him there or not.

I loved this one!! Nova has always had this attitude that I loved and I am happy that even when she falls in love she doesn't lose that! She is definitely loyal but only as long as you prove you are loyal back. She will do anything and everything for someone she cares about, and I love that about her. Gage is a bit of a bonehead in this one. I'm glad he finally realized it and got his happy ending but there were times I wish I could reach into the book and slap him upside the head! But once he finally figures it all out? They are hot together!! I loved every bit of it and couldn't put it down! Now I need to know what they are going to do next! And I need to know about Leighton!

I’m so glad Gage and Nova got their story. It’s a fairly fast read that kept me turning the pages. I just loved Nova’s fierceness and how besotted Gage is for Nova. I received an advance review copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Gage Yates, former Marine and computer hacker extraordinaire, works for Redemption Harbor Consulting along with Nova Blaire, former CIA. Gage has been attracted to Nova for what seems a long time, but has not acted on those feelings as he is one of Nova’s bosses. Nova has feelings for Gage but assumes that he is just not interested in her. When Nova receives a coded message from her best friend, Layla, she knows that her friend is in danger. She arranges to borrow the company plane and when Gage finds out that she is heading out of town, he decides to invite himself along. Nova is not happy that Gage is along, but when their plane mysteriously crashes, she changes her mind. Who was the target of the crash? Was it Layla’s possessive boyfriend? Was it someone who has it in for Redemption? Was it someone from Nova’s former life in the CIA? This is book number five in the series and it grabbed me from the very first page. Great action, hot romance and suspense and the characters from the four previous books are involved to help Nova and Gage. I love to read series books that have continuing characters. A must-read book and series! I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to give an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

Katie Reus has created a cast of likable characters that readers of this genre will enjoy.

The story isn't anything new and most of the story line is a repeat of others books in her different series. The story is fast pace and readers will enjoy the ride as they get to know Nova and Gage as their romance blossoms.

There is sex and it gets a little laughable sometimes with how much Gage thinks of sex with Nova the sexy voice.

Secondary characters are back as well as former couples that will have readers laughing with what someone of them have been up to.

I lOVED this book! It was exciting and sexy but not too cheesy or smutty. It was a great mixture and I really enjoyedit. It was the first of this series I had read so I am going to go find the others and read them as well as look forward to the next one!

I received an arc from Netgalley. Layla and Gage are two characters that you can tell from the start they should be together. Gage tried hard to deny his attraction to Layla but when she tries to help a friend and Gage realizes the danger she is in he does everything he can to keep her safe. During that time he gives in to his feelings. Great read!
