Rick "Ricochet" Brennan served eight years as an elite Marine special ops Force Recon soldier. After an injury, and the terrible memories from that night, he retires and goes to work for his former Command Officer, Howard "Mack" McEvoy, at his training center in Atlanta.
Sanctum MMA appears on the surface to be a normal gym, training elite fighters to be the best. Except each trainer, hand-picked by Mack, possesses a special background that allows Mack to run one of the best-kept secrets in the country.
When twenty-three year old Quinn Wallace finally escapes her abusive husband, she turns to her father’s old Marine Corps buddy, Mack, for help. Broken and skittish, Quinn finds herself surrounded by large, intimidating men— men who could easily overpower her. She avoids them the best she can, but when Rick turns out to be more than just a rough fighter with bruised knuckles, she finds herself wondering if she can allow herself to trust again.
Excerpt
“Hey,” he said calmly. “Why aren’t you resting?” Rick put his hands on her shoulders, gently massaging her arms.
Quinn’s eyes grew large and went to his gloved hands.
Fuck, she hates fighting. Now I know why she looks freaked out.
Rick yanked his hands away and took a step back. “I didn’t mean for you to see me fight, Quinn. I’m sorry.”
To his surprise, Quinn stepped forward, closing the distance Rick had put between them. He watched as she hesitantly lifted her arms, placing her hands on his sweat-slicked chest. Her eyes met his and his breath left in a sharp huff. The fear he had expected to see wasn’t there. No… Quinn’s eyes were dark and glistening with lust.
“I didn’t know that watching you fight would be so comforting. It makes me feel safe, and… turned on,” she murmured. Rick shivered as her hands ran down his torso, moving over each defined muscle until they were resting on either side of his waist.
“Turned on?” Rick swallowed, barely able to speak with Quinn touching him like that. She was only just about healed from the attack. He figured it would be months, if not longer before she’d be interested in pursuing anything physical.
“Yes, turned on.” Quinn’s fingers dug into Rick’s waist, her thumbs making small circles on the ‘v’ shaped ridges of his lower abs. Scorching waves of pleasure rippled down his spine, instantly making his cock come to life.
“Jesus,” he muttered softly. Using every last bit of willpower he had, Rick captured Quinn’s wrists, removing her hands from his body. “Not here, doll.” He glanced around, but none of the other fighters were looking their way. Still, he’d kill them if they saw the lust in Quinn’s eyes. That was for him, and him alone.
Quinn pouted, crossing her arms and glaring like a kid denied her favorite candy.
He couldn’t help himself. The sight of this tiny thing trying to look intimidating was funny. Rick laughed. “You’re too much, doll.” The corner of her mouth twitched up—it was just a hint of a smile, but it made Rick’s day. Quinn hadn’t smiled once since his team rescued her. Seeing some of her personality coming back flooded him with emotion.

4 out of 5 stars
Quinn Wallace is in hiding from her abusive husband. When she finally got the chance to escape she took it. She ended up seeking help from her Dad’s best friend Mack, in Atlanta.
Mack gives Quinn a job at his Sanctum MMA business, a gym, which is actually a cover for his top-secret undercover elite Marine’s team. Only, Quinn doesn’t know this. She thinks she is working at a regular gym full of gorgeous, insanely tough men.
Rick “Ricochet” Brennan was an elite Marine special ops Force Recon soldier for 8 years. An injury left him retired and now working for his former Command Officer Mack.
Rick goes through a different woman each night. He doesn’t do relationships. When he meets Quinn, all bets are off. She is different from any other woman he has ever met and the pull he feels towards her is too strong to ignore.
Unfortunately, Rick can tell she is hiding something big. He is determined to break down her walls and help her. Too bad she is too scared to let anyone in.
This was a great sexy start to this series. It was a quick read but definitely has me wanting to read more about Quinn and Rick. The ending is a cliffhanger but I think it will be well worth the wait!

4 ½ out of 5 stars
Ricochet: Friendly Fire continues on from where book 1 left off. Quinn and Rick finally give into their feelings. However, Quinn has unfinished business she needs to attend to. She sneaks out, leaving Rick in bed.
When Rick awakes, he finds Quinn gone, with no idea where she could be. He is quite upset that she would just take off and refuses to speak to her when she shows back up 6 weeks later.
Quinn realizes she screwed up by just up and leaving without an explanation. She tries to apologize to Rick, but his pride gets in the way.
Both Quinn and Rick are hiding secrets from each other. Until they can come clean with each other, they can’t move forward with a relationship.
I really enjoyed book 2. In this book we learn a lot more about Quinn and Rick. They are both getting a bit closer to opening up to each other. They also realize that there is a lot more to their attraction than just sex.
This book ends with a huge cliffhanger. I need to read book 3 immediately!

Extraction Point is the conclusion to the Ricochet series. Quinn’s ex has come back for her and the team is on the search to find her.
Rick is beside himself. He doesn’t make mistakes on his missions, so he feels guilty that Quinn is in danger. In this installment, we really learn what the team is all about when they go into action.
Quinn should have been honest with Rick from the beginning and she wouldn’t have to worry that no one would find her. Her ex is definitely not letting her go this time.
This book is definitely the best one of the series. There is plenty of action and steamy scenes in this one.
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole series. I loved Rick and Quinn. Even the secondary characters added a lot to the story. I thought the author did a good job writing a story about abuse.
I strongly recommend this series to read.
