This author, once again didn’t disappoint with a story that had me flipping the pages with the suspense and romance that had me feeling like I was right there.

While I have loved this series by Louise Dawn, this story has been my least favorite so far. The action is intense, and the men are hot. What got to me this time was Elana. I just didn't care for how she always pushed Atlas away; she felt cold to me. Also, the endless supply of houses, vehicles, money, etc. was a bit too convenient for my tastes. Regardless, I do hope for more stories, this series has been so good!

My thanks to NetGalley and PennyBlox Press for the pleasure of reading and reviewing Kite on the Rocks by Louise Dawn.

When I first started reading this book, I didn’t realize it was part of a series. I read it as a stand alone and I understood everything that was going on, but I wish I would have read the whole series first just for my own enjoyment. This story is full of excitement and I couldn’t put it down. I would recommend this book. I can’t wait to read other books by this author.

This story doesn't pull any punches in dealing with sex trafficking. It's smart, well paced and will definitely hold your attention. The characters were well conceived and likeable. However, I wasn't able to become attached to them. I thought the story itself was more interesting than the characters.

Louise Dawn has done it again with another badass installment of her Mobile Intelligence Unit, KITE ON THE ROCKS, reminding us why the ‘opposites attract’ trope is so addictive. Dylan “Atlas” Jenkins is a sniper who saved Elana Celik once upon a time, and then they became friends. Elana is smart and sexy and the focus of Atlas’ secret attraction but feels that giving in to his magnetism would be a disaster. Dangerous things are afoot, like human trafficking, sex slaves, and an evil villain, and the stakes are high. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and ultimately this exciting race across Europe is led by the heart. Awesome, right?

Another hit in this series and one I have been waiting for awhile....Atlas and Elana’s story who we’ve met in a previous book when Atlas saved Elana’s life. Atlas has been attracted to Elana from the first time he ever saw her, then he rescued her and they became friends, which he would like to take farther. But Elana has been distancing herself from him and one night he follows her and doesn’t like what he sees and what she may be mixed up in. He decides that during his down time from his team, he’s going to visit her in Europe and find out what she is really up to....or will she pull away even more, leaving him in the dark.
YES YES YES these two were amazing, friends to lovers and so much more between these two as they navigate a dark underworld with evil men who want to eliminate anyone who crosses them. I LOVED these two and the little to almost no drama between them as there was enough drama around them. This author, once again didn’t disappoint with a story that had me flipping the pages with the suspense and descriptions that had me feeling like I was right there in the middle of the action.
An amazing read with suspense, some action, betrayals, some issues that may be sensitive to some which was handled with care, surprises, secrets revealed, heartbreaking scenes and past characters that make an appearance with issues of their own, blending it all in seamlessly and wanting more more more of all the characters.

Holy Moly! What an end to a series. I'm a bit sad if I'm honest to see the MIT team wander off into the sunset but I'm sure they have more than earned a break!

Elana should be the least likely person in the world to trigger Atlas. She is rich beyond rich, world travelled, and headstrong to the point of recklessness. But after a certain tromp through North Africa after she had been injured helping to save her best friend Charlie, Atlas and her became firm friends.

Atlas would love to be more than that but Elana keeps distancing herself. Not just from him but Charlie and her family too. Determined to find out just what she has got herself mixed up in, Atlas "goes on holiday" to Crete after tracking her down. Soon enough danger comes calling and Atlas' holiday turns into a break neck, high octane adventure. Including saving sexual slaves and human trafficking victims.

Elana is one determined, multi-layered, strong-willed woman. With a secret deeply buried under years of ignoring it in the hope that it'll go away, Elana has the resources to do something positive. With her small team she has put a major dent in operations. But she has also put a target on her back. I loved Atlas and Elana together. He just wants to help her, not cage her or put her off ding what she's doing. Just enable her to be safe whilst doing it. Sister Nikola and her little "lambs" - HMOG I did not see that development coming at all! And Sue - now that's a woman you should NEVER annoy.

While this is a stand alone story do yourself a favour and read all of the Mobile Intelligence Service books you won't be disappointed everyone of them is a brilliant read in its own right and I have read them all.

Elana Celik is a woman with her own hidden agenda and she is determined not to draw Dylan" Atlas" Jenkins into her dark world no matter what he thinks he wants she will drive him away if she has to . But he is one alpha male who not only knows what he wants but is determined to get it and that thing is Elana When her past puts her in danger even his skills as a elite sniper may not be enough to keep her safe but he will do whatever he needs to in effort to do just that Will she finally admit that she is just as interested in starting something with him You will have to read to see if these two finally get a HEA

Kite on the Rocks is a thrilling ride of love, action and excitement. I love that the author give logical explanations for dangerous activity. Elana is smart and gorgeous. Atlas is an overprotective hunk. These two are fire and ice and a whole lot of fun. I didn’t know this was part of a series when I picked it up. That being said this story works standalone.

What a great subject matter for a story, this book had potential to be amazing! It could have been a sophisticated tale of avengers rescuing and seeking justice in the trade of people, except it wasn't.
The book failed to deliver on a number of levels. The main character, Elana, was supposed to be a capable, empowered, intelligent woman, yet whenever Atlas was around she crumbled into a woman that needed saving. The constant references to popular culture, The Kardashians, Gigi Hamed, and Victoria's secret came across as juvenile, and will have the book 'dated' in just a few years. The reference to Women being 'girls' added to the sexist undertones.
This tale had so much potential, however, I would not be recommending it to friends due to the old fashioned, immature and sexist writing style..
A tale with Suehi being the main hero would have been far more interesting.
This book followed a very dull, Eurocentric plot line.
