Description

Everything was a lie, fake, a façade of beauty to cover the ugly truth. Sloane Ellis has a secret—actually, she has many. Working in a sex club wasn't part of her life plan, yet neither was her best friend vanishing without a trace. The club and her missing friend go hand and hand. One secret leads to another until the lies pile up. After months of working in the club her friend frequented, Sloane's no closer to finding answers, the police have no leads, and time is quickly running out. The last thing Sloane needs is the newest member of Club Joi, Adam Newcomb complicating her mission and stealing her heart. Yet with one kiss, she falls. But you know what they say about secrets—they have a way of coming out, and when they do, Sloane's life crumbles for the second time—this time destroying her chances of a happily ever after with the man she loves. Working undercover is old hat for Asher Noble. This assignment should be no different, hell, it wasn't any different until he met Sloane Ellis, event coordinator for Club Joi. She's hiding something, but so is Asher. She does her job with a smile, but there's an underlying sadness mixed with disgust. She has less interest in working in a sex club than Asher has watching the nightly performances. There's no room for distractions when a young woman's life and freedom is on the line, yet a kiss changes everything. A kiss that never should've happened. A kiss that leads a man pretending to be someone else to risk everything to protect the woman he's fallen for. Sloane Ellis must decide if she can trust Asher Noble when she realizes he's not who he pretended to be. Asher must save the woman he loves from disappearing into the same nightmare world as her best friend. Together, they must stop a monster before he claims more lives. Takeback is an off-the- books, special operations task force composed of military contractors and US Marshals. Their mission is simple—to save those who have been taken. Read more

  • Loyal and True
Sloane Ellis, 38, hates everything about her new job as an event planner at Club Joi. The ultra private, ultra exclusive, members only, sex club holds no appeal for her at all. Public sex, even consensual and inside the private walls, is never going to be her kink. But she’s there for a reason and she steadfastly refuses to give up until she finds some sort of a lead on her missing best friend and roommate, Elise. The police have given up and let the case go cold, but Sloane is determined that if there is any way possible Elise is still alive, she’ll find her. Asher Noble, 40, is an operative for Takeback, an off the books organization working with federal, state, and local law enforcement specializing in the rescue and recovery of human trafficking victims. His current assignment has him working undercover at Club Joi in Malibu, California. Reports of suspicious activity on the club grounds at the private mansion may be linked to human trafficking and the club owner is under investigation by several federal agencies. Asher immediately recognizes that Sloane does not belong at the club. She’s different. She covers it well, but he catches her disguised distaste for the club members and their activities. Which makes it all the harder for him to get near her and discover why she’s there since she believes him to be a rich businessman member of the club. Once the two realize they’re basically working toward the same goal and join forces, mutual attraction develops and when Sloane becomes a target for the traffickers, Asher takes her out of California to his home and Takeback’s headquarters in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. When the traffickers track them there, a dramatic and suspenseful confrontation leads to the pinnacle climax. What I liked most about this book was how strong and smart Sloane is written. She realizes and accepts she’s in over her head and needs the assistance and protection of Asher and his team. She cooperates and unlike some other romance heroines, she remains just as strong and smart without the usual dramatics and foolish, impulsive, reactions that usually just get them and their protectors in more trouble. She keeps her head and gets the bad guy AND the hero. She’s my kind of heroine! Romantic, suspenseful, sexy and action-packed, Riley Edwards’ books never disappoint. ... show more

  • Asher and Sloane
This book was definitely a nail biter. It seems like the suspense level in the last two books in this series has been ramped way up. I found myself on the edge of my seat, waiting for Asher or Sloane to slip up. Asher and Sloane are both undercover at a sex club. Asher is investigating if everything is above board and Sloane is looking for information about her missing best friend. They have an immediate reaction to each other but try to deny their feelings because of their individual investigations. When Asher discovers why Sloane is working as an event coordinator at the sex club he’s investigating, everything changes for him. Although he doesn’t see how they can have a future, he’s invested in Sloane’s safety and helping her find her friend. Their investigation takes a turn and when Sloane’s life is now in danger, Asher whisks her away to Idaho to keep her safe. I love that as strong as Sloane is, when she sees she’s in danger, she doesn’t fight Asher. She accepts his plan to keep her safe without question. While in Idaho the couple grows closer and they can no longer fight their attraction. Asher brings her into the circle, and Brooklyn, Letty, and Sadie welcome her into their group. This book was about finding love in the darkest time in your life. It was about the bonds of true friendship and what you’re willing to give up to find answers. It was a great addition to this series, I just wish there were a few chapters after everything was wrapped up to get a better glimpse into Sloane and Asher’s happily ever after. ... show more

  • Lack suspense
Out of all of her books I've read from R.E. this is the one I had trouble finishing. I was bored. The story line just wasn't there. I was waiting for something good to happen and it never game. Disappointed. Oh well they can't all be winners.

  • Asher & Sloane
Ok, I was not really a fan of the first half or so of this one. I thought it was going to break my 5⭐️ streak of the previous books. I know it's necessary to this storyline, but I still didn't like the beginning. I didn't feel like Asher & Sloane got to be together on page, and the chemistry & banter between everyone is what makes me fall in live with each story! Now, having said that, I don't want to discourage anyone from this installment! The writing & storyline are still enjoyable if you don't mind public hooha club stuff. I'm just also not a fan of that kinda trope, so I struggled there, too. Thankfully, when they got away from that, the rest of the story contained all the things I love about this series! I did end up needing tissues, even, because some of what's going on was super emotional. And I LOVE Sloane & Asher together! Also highly enjoyed the way we catch up with our peeps from earlier books!! Swoooon!! So! Now I have to wait for the next book... lol ... the downside of binging a not-yet-finished series! 😉 😍😍😍 ... show more

  • Sloane & Asher are my favorite.
I really enjoyed this 4th book of the Take back series. Asher has been undercover in a sex club based in Los Angeles & had his eye on Sloane, the pretty club event coordinator. She seems like she'd rather be anywhere else. Sloane's best friend Elise disappeared 6 months ago after going to this club. When police came up with nothing, Sloane decided to see if she could come up with something. Its getting dangerous. She noticed the new guy, Adam, who doesn't seem She noticed the new guy, Adam, who doesn't seem to participate in any of the events, but he does watch. Send my call Sloane and Asher coming together and, however the course of the story begins after they've come to know each other. Asher and Sloane have a real connection. When her life is threatened his protector instincts kick in, threatening his undercover assignment. This pair have an instant connection that's tender and hot. This can be read as a standalone but the other Takeback couples are fun, too. I appreciated the relative maturity of 40 yr old Asher and 38 yr old Sloane. ... show more
