"Danger Rising" by Katie Reus is a pulse-pounding romantic suspense novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats with its adrenaline-fueled action and steamy romance.

This was very fast paced and intriguing! Lana's quest to retrieve a family heirloom quickly becomes deadly. This is also a bit of a second chance romance as well, which I enjoyed. It was good to see a hero putting the heroine first in everything. He is devoted to her totally, and that includes helping her unravel the mystery behind the guy that stole her heirloom. Very enjoyable-read it in on sitting!

Action packed and emotionally thrilling adventure filled with engaging charters, witty banter, heart racing twists and undeniable passion. An edge of your seat emotional roller coaster from beginning to end and so hard to put down.

Danger Rising by Katie Reus is book 2o in the Red Stone Security Series. I am a big fan of Romance books and I found this one to be a very enjoyable read. I will be looking for more books from this author.

Danger Rising is the twentieth book in the Red Stone Security series. I love the intrigue and how easy the books in the series are to read. I haven’t read them in order, yet I have had no problems following since each book has its own suspense and they never end in a cliffhanger. They are always well-written, fast-paced, and every new book automatically goes on my must-read list.

Lana thinks he is dead, and Teague needs to keep it that way to keep her safe. He watches over her from a distance; waiting for the day he can reveal himself and win her back. But when her mother dies and her family’s priceless heirloom, Lana swears to get it back. She reverts to her former life to steal it back from her mother’s business partner. When Lana’s life is in danger, Teague will do whatever it takes to protect her.
I highly recommend the series and I cannot wait for the next book.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

First I wanted to thank Author Collective 20 for providing an ARC in exchange for a honest review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was fortunate enough to get a copy of the last few books in this series, and I really enjoyed them. As soon as I saw the next book in the series was available for request on NetGalley I put my request in. As soon as this book hit my kindle I wanted to read it right away. Similar to the other books in the series there was a lot in this book that I really liked and I am just a sucker for a good romantic suspense.

Danger Rising
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What I loved:
-Series, this is part of the larger Red Stone Security Series and I’m so excited to dive into all of the other books
- The Spy and the Thief, I really enjoyed how Teague and Lana would normally be on opposite sides of the "law" but they made an amazing team
- He falls first, as I read more of these stories its becoming one of my favorite tropes in romance novels and its done so well in this story
- Harley, she is introduced in this book with having a history with Teague and a fast new friend of Lana and I can only hope she gets her own story
- Crimes, the intricate crimes Teague and Lana are involved in and trying to prevent was super interesting and I spent the whole story hoping they could take the bad guy down

Overall this book had everything I look for in a romantic suspense, great romance, spice, and unique relationship building between the main characters. Once I started this book it was really hard to put down and I am already eyeing how quickly I can get to the other books in the series cause I can’t wait to learn about the rest of the Red Stone team. If you love romantic suspense then PLEASE go pick this one up as soon as you can cause its a great stand alone story with a whole series behind it so you can live in this world for a while!

Can’t say enough about how good this writer is.! When Lana seeks revenge on the man that stole from her mother, she begins stealing from him looking for a family heirloom. Teague is determined to keep her safe, after 1 night together years ago he is reported dead after a mission gone wrong. Can he keep her safe with her killing him?

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

Another great addition to the Red Security series. Katie always keeps me wanting more of this series and I truly hope it never ends

4.25 stars—DANGER RISING is the twentieth instalment in Katie Reus’ contemporary, adult RED STONE SECURITY romantic suspense series. This is twenty-six year old nurse Lana Florakis, and Black Ops Agent Teague Monroe ’s story line. DANGER RISING can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storylines is revealed where necessary.


Told from third person perspective DANGER RISING follows a determined Lana Florakis as she makes good a promise she made to herself. Several months earlier Lana’s world imploded when her mother was murdered, a precious family heirloom was stolen, and her boyfriend was killed while on a secret assignment. Fast forward to present day wherein Lana sets into motion a plan to take back everything she lost by using all of her training as a professional thief. Having spend years with her mother working the con, Lana was seeking revenge against the man she believed took her mother’s life but Lana will come face to face with her past, a past she long thought buried and gone. Enter Black Ops agent Teague Monroe, and the man with whom Lana had fallen in love. Teague is about to join Lana on her road to revenge, a road that will place our couple in the direct line of fire. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Teague and Lana, and the potential fall-out as our couple become the targets of a dangerous man.


The relationship between Teague and Lana is one of second chances. Lana believed Teague was killed months earlier but Teague’s life as a Black Ops agent means keeping to the shadows, while life carried on. Lana struggled with what she believed was a heart breaking betrayal but Teague knew that to allow Lana the knowledge that he was still alive placed a much larger target on our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.


We are introduced to IT tech Harley, the return of Red Stone’s Security Grant Caldwell, as well as billionaire businessman Jeremy Cashe, and his number one Leon.


DANGER RISING is a story of betrayal and murder; greed and power; retribution, vengeance and love. The premise is intriguing and engaging; the romance is emotional; the characters are charismatic and impassioned.

What can I say? This was yet again a wonderful book in the Red Stone Security Series. I've been following this series since the very first book got released and I've loved every single one of them.

In this 20th (already??) we follow Lana, a former thief, raised by her single mom and always travelling around the world for new jobs. When her mom decided to go totally legit, Lana studied to get a nursing degree and take on several jobs in different parts of the country. When she found a job in Miami however, she knew she wanted to stay having found new friends. This is also where she met Teague. She fell head over heals for him, spent one glorious night together and found out a bit later that he had died.

When her mom gets killed in a supposed mugging, Lana is devastated. She also finds out that her mother's partner stole a very precious jewel belonging to her family. Intend on getting it back, Lana picks up her old habit of stealing and starts following her moms late partner.

Teague is working Black Ops, he very much isn't dead, but due to being targeted by a villain he had to fake his own death and couldn't warn Lana. He's also been in love with her since their first meeting and has been shadowing her since leaving her. When he finds out what she's doing, he's determined to help her. Because she can use a partner Lana is reluctantly accepting his help.

Together they embark on a journey full of action, tension between the both of them and a glorious happy ending.

I loved everything about this book, the fast pace, the twists and turns and the romance between the two MC's.

I'm already looking forward to the next book of this great author.

4.5 Stars
Danger Rising is an intriguing romantic suspense. Power, betrayal, and love are just some of the attributes to the well delivered story with engaging characters and a compelling plot this one is a keeper and one I recommend you read for yourself.

Although I’ve read almost 30 (!) of Katie Reus’ stories, they keep amazing me. Of course, there are some recognizable elements in every book of Katie: there is suspense, some heartbreak and a lot of unexpected twists and turns, to keep you on the edge of your seat. And of course: don’t forget the sparks flying between the main characters.

Lana has lived a life as a burglar. Her mother taught her to steal and break in all kinds of buildings. But then her mother teamed up with someone and she ended up dead. And now her so-called business partner took a very precious heirloom from Lana. So, she is determined to get it back.

While trying to find a way to steal her mother’s heirloom, she comes face-to-face with the man she loved. The man, who died a few months ago… Teague has faked his own dead to avoid that his enemies would go after the woman that he loves: Lana. But now, when the danger has been terminated, he needs to convince Lana to trust him again. Certainly when Lana is now in danger and Teague will not sit by an watch his woman get into trouble. But will she give him a second chance?

Find out for yourself in yet another great story from the Red Stone Security series! Fout out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Action-packed, suspenseful, steamy, with a strong female lead. I loved that Lana and Teague were more or less equals - he as an operative and she as an experienced cat burglar. A quick, entertaining read.

This was an entertaining, well-written book. It was steamy, fast-paced and held my interest. I wanted to find out what was going to happen and didn't want to put it down. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author.

This can absolutely be read as a standalone but I would read the other books just because some of the side characters are in the previous books. When Lana lost her mom she was heartbroken. But when her mom's business partner stole a family heirloom, she was angry. And as a former thief, she vows to get back what belongs to her-no matter what. But when what she steals leads her straight into danger, who can she turn to for help? And when the man she loved, and thought had died, shows up-can she trust him or will he betray her?

I really loved most of this story. Teague and Lana have both been through so many things in their lives. And it shaped who they are as adults. But they both still have moral codes despite everything. Not only that, but they both have a capacity for love and caring that they have never been able to truly let out. I loved how they interact together, and how they manage to forgive things that happen in the past. I loved the side characters from the previous books being in it, but I also loved the introduction of the new side characters (and would love to see stories for them!)-especially a certain woman with a warehouse! My only drawback, I really don't remember either of these characters from previous books. So I was slightly confused as to how they were related to the series. Other than that, I loved everything else about it!

Truly, Katie Reus can do no wrong. Every single book of hers I've read has been fabulous, and this one was no exception.

This book is part of the Red Stone Security series, but can be read as a standalone.

Lana, a nurse and former thief, is on a mission that is extremely personal to her: retrieve her late mother's stolen necklace from a "boss":. The "boss" in question hires Teague to find the thief.

Teague is an operative who was briefly involved with Lana before he faked passing after his last mission six months prior. He couldn't tell Lana he was alive to protect her from the parties he was tracking during that mission.

As Teague and Lana work together to retrieve the heirloom, they discover they are in deeper than they anticipated....

A cat burglar and a black ops agent with history between them. This pairing sounded like a match made in heaven. Throw in the fact that he let her think he was dead, even if it was for her own protection and I knew we were in for fireworks and I was going to love this latest instalment in the Red Stone Security series from Katie Reus. With fantastic chemistry between Lana and Teague and a great, suspense-filled storyline that flowed well from the start involving an evil crime boss, a stolen family heirloom and the usual murder and mayhem, Danger Rising has gone straight to the top of my list of favourite reads by this author. Now after the intriguing glimpse we got of Harley, we need her story!
