Soldier (MFM)
Altered Destinies 5

Professional Reviews

4 STARS: "SOLDIER is an awesome new book in the Altered Destinies Series. The great chemistry between the characters, amazing plot, and sizzling sex scenes made it another hit for me! Jenna is one sibling of the "lost children"--those siblings with extrasensory powers that we've gotten to know over the course of the Altered Destinies series--who actually is the on the side of the evil professor guy. She's never questioned him, until the day she found out that he stole her twin girls from her seven years ago. Rick and Zane have been waiting to catch Jenna for months. They think that the chances of finding her in front of her brother Jason's old house is a long shot. So, imagine their surprise when she not only shows up there, but she's so badly injured she's going to die. The two men quickly save her life and don't know why she immediately means so much to them. Just as the three of them are ready to make their relationship permanent, the unthinkable happens, and Rick and Zane have to fight to get the love of their life back. I was waiting for this book because Jenna was so darn dastardly when she made her last appearance. I really wanted to get more of her story. She really had no clue what the world was like. She only knew what the evil professor guy told her, and she was at such a disadvantage. It made me like her a lot more knowing a bit of what she had been through and what she had missed being under the professor's control. Zane and Rick were just yummy. They didn't understand the attraction to Jenna much more than she did, but they knew they wanted their girl and went for it. The intimacy and extreme sensuality between the three of them was off the charts, but the best part was that Jenna never lost that snark! The plot mainly focused on Jenna, Rick and Zane, which was a nice treat. I really felt that they got a chance to develop their relationship nicely. We also got a look at Jenna's daughters who seem to have powers just like the rest of the family. SOLDIER is the fifth book in the Altered Destinies and continues the amazing plot lines, immense sensuality and great characters. I am really hoping that this isn't the end of the series. The story line was left open, but more than anything, I've had such a blast reading this series that I don't want it to end." -- Rho, The Romance Reviews

Excerpt

STORY EXCERPT

As they approached the corner that would take them to Jason’s former apartment, Rick stopped when they both heard a low moan. Zane couldn’t sense anyone, but there was definitely someone there.

Rick stole a glance around the corner and then moved quickly. Zane followed close behind as Rick aimed his gun at the person slouched against the doorway. Another low moan of pain filled the hallway.

The woman struggled to lift her head, her matted hair covering her face as she cried in agony. “Jase, I need your help.”

She seemed to lose consciousness before she managed to see either of them.

“Shit, that’s Jenna,” Rick said as he held his gun pointed at the still form and grabbed his cell phone from his pocket. Zane resisted the urge to step forward and assess her injuries. Jenna had pulled this stunt before, and the outcome could’ve been a lot worse if Jason had trusted the injuries he’d seen.

“Caleb,” Rick said into the phone. “Jenna finally turned up, but by the looks of her, she needs an ambulance.”

Zane only half-listened to the conversation, his own empathic skills straining to determine any information from the woman in front of them. To the naked eye, she certainly seemed severely injured, but if Zane had learned one thing from his years working for The Agency, things were rarely what they seemed.

As Rick ended the phone call, he nodded his agreement to Zane and then stood back so that he could get a good aim at Jenna without needing to shoot through his partner. Zane moved cautiously toward her prone form, but lost all sense of reality when he saw the bullet wounds. Jenna was literally soaked in her own blood. A quick look suggested that she had been shot several times in the back and shoulder, the type of injuries one would get when running away from someone with a gun. Or maybe several someones.

Rick had dialed the phone again even before Zane had thought the words.

“Caleb, send Jason.” He nodded in agitation. “I realize the risk, but without him Jenna is not going to make it. Send him now.”

ADULT EXCERPT

“I’m going to do this my way, princess. Link your hands,” he said as he grabbed her wrists and pushed them against her lower back. “Now, keep them there.”

She nodded warily and cast a glance around the room. Rick lounged against the doorframe as he watched Zane slowly reveal her creamy skin. Zane pressed a kiss to her soft flesh and unhurriedly undid one button at a time. As he pushed the material apart, he wrapped an arm around her middle, pulled her closer and tilted her breasts toward his mouth. The nipple stood taut against the lace fabric of her bra.

Rick adjusted his cock, the hard rod pressing insistently against the denim of his jeans as he tried to slow his breathing. He’d never thought of himself as a voyeur, but his excitement ramped higher when Zane closed his teeth around her straining nipple and bit down hard. Jenna yelped and tried to move her hands, but Zane held them securely in his.

Desire filled the room as Rick felt her pleasure swell through her. Her knees seemed wobbly, and a look from Zane had him stepping up behind her to hold her steady. Rick quickly removed her shirt and bra and then held her close as Zane licked and suckled her breasts.

She tilted her head back, and Rick couldn’t resist the urge to capture her lips with his own. He feasted on her mouth as Zane lowered to his knees and drove her crazy with teeth and tongue. The rasp of a zipper sounded loud in the quiet room, their heavy breathing the only other noise. Rick’s blood pressure raised another notch as he felt Zane dragging her jeans and panties down her legs. He lifted her feet one at a time, removed the material, and threw it carelessly across the room.

Rick dropped his hands to her hips when he realized that Zane had pressed his mouth to her abdomen and worked his way lower. He caressed the soft skin as Zane pushed her legs wider, and Rick broke the kiss and glanced over her shoulder. Her nipples stood red and proud, her breasts swollen and lush from Zane’s attention.

Zane pushed them both toward the bed and sent Rick telepathic instructions of what he wanted him to do. Smiling, he did as Zane asked, hoping that he wouldn’t end up with a permanent zipper mark against his aching cock.

 Jenna couldn’t really believe this was happening. She’d planned on fucking both of them, but not like this. Never like this. Sex was supposed to be a release of tension. Just two bodies scratching a mutual itch, but this was something more, far more.

Rick held her close as Zane worshipped her body. Her nipples ached to be touched, her legs felt like jelly, and Zane was about to do something she’d never imagined before. Rick moved backward, carefully supporting her as her legs wobbled. Slowly, he lowered to the edge of the bed, lifted her onto his lap and arranged her so that her most intimate parts were exposed for Zane’s eyes.

Zane leaned forward and kissed her slowly, sensuously. Her heart rate increased as she felt his hands smooth along the side of her thighs, pushing her legs wider apart. The cool air hit her already moist labia, and she gasped as she felt another pulse of moisture drip from her. Zane’s nostrils flared as he smelled her arousal, and she lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

A gentle hand lifted her chin until she was looking him directly in the eye. “Never hide from us, princess. We want to see and feel and taste every moment with you.”

Wide-eyed, she nodded. How could he make her feel so cherished, so special, when she sat in another man’s lap with her legs spread like some sort of sinful offering? Zane kissed her again and then lowered his head to her thighs. He licked a path up to her clit, flicking the swollen nub with the tip before traveling back down and pressing his tongue inside her.

Rick moved his hands higher, cupping her breasts, squeezing the sensitive flesh as she groaned with the twin sensations. Zane pushed her thighs open even wider as his thumbs caressed her labia and held her open so he could lick her like ice cream.
