Seth Cage is a man of many talents, that is one of the reasons he works of Shane Brandon. While Shane probably doesn't want to know all Seth is capable of, he knows he will get the job done, no matter what it is.

Seth was part of the CIA until he left a few years ago, after his last mission. When he lost a friend/team member and the woman he thought he knew and loved. Now he has to protect the woman who made him love her and then she betrayed him.

Amanda Larke has been groomed to be an agent since she was born, meeting Seth was not part of the plan. Their mission together was not supposed to include falling in love. But it was easy for them both. But the betrayal was even harder for her to handle. Now, three years later, he is back in her life to keep her safe once again.

Can they do the job at hand without letting old feelings resurface? Will they be able to stay alive without killing each other first? Will they learn the truth about what really happened that fateful night?

I loved Seth in the Dirty Money series and wanted more; this is perfect, and I can't wait to see what happens between him and Amanda. This story is sexy, hot, with an alpha male and a badass female that would just as soon kick his ass as kiss him. So, pick it up and enjoy, I sure did. And you can read this as a standalone without reading the Dirty Money series.

Amanda and Seth are a strange couple. You catch glimpses of their past and know that their future is set up for a very fast-paced, thrilling ending. From the very beginning, you see there was some kind of misunderstanding or miscommunication, however, you never quite figure out what that is.

Amanda is a feisty, smart, and deadly. You get to see her in action and with a wariness about her when it comes to Seth. She fell for him once and she feels that she was burned. She is also trying to figure out who is out to get her and why – what her parents had to do with who is hunting her too.

Seth also fell for Amanda all of those years ago. Despite not being completely clear with Amanda about his op, he knew that she was his forever and would have given her anything. But he is also feeling betrayed by her and doesn't really know if he's coming or going when it comes to her.

I can't wait to see what happen in the next installment. I hope that questions are answered and I know that there are more that are going to crop up.


Veronica – ☆☆☆☆
Poison Kisses Part 1 features fixer and former CIA agent, Seth Gage, from the Dirty Money series, but you don't need to have read that series in order to read Poison Kisses.

I was wondering what kind of woman a guy like Seth would be into. Amanda is beautiful of course, but she is also an intelligent, quick thinking, and lethal woman. Amanda is Seth's equal and they make a great team.

This is a fast-paced, sexy novella with plenty of action that got my heart pumping and kept me turning the pages. The story does take us back to the past so we can learn how Seth and Amanda met and see what happened to pull them apart, and there is just as much action and heat in the past as there is in the present.

This is the first part of a novella series and it is so good. The quick pace of the story and cliffhanger ending has me hanging for the next installment, which thankfully is out in a few weeks. I can't wait to read it.
