USA TODAY BESTSELLING author Lindsay Cross releases her next story! A bad-boy loner meets a feisty FBI badass chick with a chip on her shoulder. The sparks between these two set off explosions!

Ethan Slade was a loner. No parents. No wife and kids. No liabilities. He had one love in his life - the Special Forces. As a member of the elite Task Force Scorpion, he'd been on more near death missions than most soldiers experienced in a lifetime and he liked it. So when his commander forced him to run protection for a senator's daughter's wedding, something a mall cop could do, he was pissed..

Kate Richards had a chip on her shoulder. After being fired from her job as a CIA analyst because her boss wanted her in his bed instead of behind a computer, Kate was left without a job or a clue as to what she would do next. So when the commander of an elite SF team asked her to help bodyguard at a high profile wedding, she did what she had to do. She took the job.

After years of ribbing and sexual harassment, Kate wanted nothing to do with men. Period. Especially tall, dark and handsome alpha male operative Ethan Slade.

The last thing Ethan wanted or needed was to give up his life as a roamer, avoiding any attachments or obligations. But neither of them is prepared for the instant eruption of desire at their first meeting.

The two come together in an explosion of passion so potent it will leave them both marked for life. But just as quickly as they've come together, Kate is violently ripped from his fingers, and it's up to Ethan to rescue the woman he's come to love before he ends up alone again.

"I adore this amazing series! I love to watch these bad a** men fall hard for “the one.” I can’t wait to see what’s next." FIVE STAR REVIEW

"This whole series of books are definitely a must read. The chemistry between these two is fun and explosive. I would definitely recommend reading it." FIVE STAR REVIEW

"You will find chemistry that burns off the page, and unexpected laughs as they explore the feelings that are a surprise for them both. You won't want to miss this hot read. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟" FIVE STAR REVIEW

This was a second time read for me, I really enjoyed the story from a different perspective. The extended version also filled out the previous story, giving the characters a deeper personality. can't wait for the next read.

Rebellious to the core:)

Reviewed in Australia on 4 September 2018

Reading this book a second time round with just that little bit extra was good, because it took me back to my very first Men of Mercy series that I read by Lindsay. Ethan is not happy that he has to stay stateside and help cover the Senator’s daughter’s wedding. But when Grey throws Kate, an ex-CIA Agent into the mix it ignites a chemistry and passion neither of them saw coming!

Good read and definitely would recommend this series and this book:) Thank you Lindsay for my advanced copy for which I leave my honest review.

Rebellious for the win!

Reviewed in Australia on 5 September 2018

Rebellious River is part of the Men of Mercy series which includes action, drama and lust. Ethan is at the top of his game, he got there with the knowledge that he doesn’t have a weak spot; no significant other or family to call his own. When his team is grounded stateside they embark on a private security detail which includes adding a female agent to their team. Life at the CIA was over, back against the wall Kate quit, understanding that her old boss had the authority to ruin her career she took a role helping protect the bride at a high-profile wedding, when a split decision result in betrayal their team is left scrambling.

Ethan is a cocky, arrogant and all-round Alpha, he doesn’t take crap from no one and he is driven to protect his country and his team. Kate has always stepped out of the perfect box that her family created for her, she is living her life the way she wants but is continuously fighting for survival in a world of male dominance.

From the moment that Ethan & Kate came together there was no doubt that the tension rising between the two of them would explode into passion and need, leaving them both with feelings that have never surfaced previously.

This was my first novel by Lindsay and I really enjoyed it, I loved the dual POV’s which made me feel like I was in both of their heads throughout the story. I am going to go back and start the series from the beginning. Rebellious River was more than a romance between two characters it has action with good and bad guys resulting in leaving us on a cliff hanger I am now hanging out for. I am looking forward to reading the conclusion which will be told in Aaron and Celine’s book.

Ratings;
Plot: 5/5
Characters: 5/5
Heat: 5/5
Writing Style: 5/5
Overall: 5/5

Rebellious River by Lindsay Cross is a great read. It is Book 5 in the Men of Mercy series. This is the story of Ethan and Kate. Kate worked for the CIA and recently quit her job because her boss wanted to sleep with her and told her she would never get a pomotion. She was the best analyst the CIA had. She was hired to work with the group after being refered by one of her former CIA members. Ethan is a Sergeant in Task Force Scorpion (TF-S). He is also the communications person. He is tasked to train Kate for the mission they will be going on. When they first meet both feel an immediate connection with each other but they try to hide it and ignore it. After a week of training together neither can overllok their attraction for the other and they get together. Will they let the mission get between them? Will outside forces come between them and end their budding relationship? Will they get their HEA? To get the answers you will need to read the book. There is action and suspense, highs and lows, twists and turns. I definitely recommend this book. I can't wait to read the next book from Lindsay Cross.

Not long enough!!!

Loved this!! Am working my way through this series and preferring some stories to others (Reckless River, with Jared and Sparrow, my favourite until now). The stories are technically standalones but feel they absolutely should be read as a series, particularly this one which has a major plotline still hanging, setting up Ravished River. Would have loved this one to be longer: it had already been expanded from, what must have been an extremely short, novella, but would have liked to see their relationship develop further; Ethan's nomadic existence and Kate's extreme OCD tendencies, would have been two interesting strands.

Lindsey Cross – Men of Mercy Series –Raylan - book 5

In the fifth book in the series, we get to learn more about Raylan Wild, whom we met in book 4-David. Raylan is also a DEA agent, like his brother Greer but in another part of Mississippi. He is in town for an interview requesting a transfer to Mercy. He is friends with many of the Force Scorpion (TF-S), a Branch of Joint Special Operators Command (JSOC). In fact, Raylan was with Greer when they went to the Mexican compound to help save David and Lori, their cousin (book 4).

Raylan went out with some of the TF-S and DEA friends to a local bar, and that is when he saw her, Amber. Raylan and Amber were going out and after one incredible night, Raylan was ready to give up his ‘wild’ times for Amber. But, Raylan received a phone call that changed his life forever. He left that night and has not seen her until now. Raylan never forgot about Amber and has had many dreams of the brown.

Amber Adkins usually stayed home. After Raylan left Mercy, she couldn’t risk getting hurt again, so she often stayed home. But, since Amber just broke up with her last boyfriend, Tommy, her best friend Saline Latimer, talked her into going out on her first foray.

Amber couldn’t believe that after 6 years Raylan Wild is in Mercy and in the very bar where she is trying to have a good time with her best friend. She tried not to look at the handsome sexy man that took her heart with him when he left, but he came up to her and wanted to talk to her. She had given everything to him, her virginity and her soul and he just walked away. When Saline, who didn’t know who he was, asked why he was in Mercy, Raylan said he was looking for a dark-haired emerald-eyed girl. Amber, is a really cool woman, did the only thing that she could do; she threw her margarita in his face and raced out of the bar.

Raylan has decided that he is going to do everything he can to convince Amber to give him another chance. But, Amber is determined to keep away from Raylan at any cost. Can Raylan get Amber to trust him again?
When someone starts stalking her and putting her life in danger, she knows she needs Raylan’s help. Amber must trust Raylan to keep her safe, but can she really do that after all the heartache she has gone through?

With dead cats, bombs, ransacked rooms, and gunshots and lots of hot passionate sex, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. Don’t miss this one.

What didn’t work for me-
There were several typos including the spelling of the Crowe brothers. All through the book, it was spelled Crow-like the bird. 4 Stars
– Worthy of 5+ Stars but not with typos.

Very good series.

I started off really liking this series, but as the books went on I found that the heroes were getting to domineering and possessive. The heroines were supposed to be tough, capable fiesty women yet the men felt the need to constantly be overly protective. I am getting rather tired of this same old theme. In one particular story the hero acted appallingly towards the heroine yet she forgave him much too quickly and easily in my opinion. Having said that the stories are exciting and I liked most of the characters.

HOORAY for Kate! I admire a woman who stands up for herself when faced with the “male mentality” that men are superior at everything. They shouldn’t have such sensitive appendages if they are so tough. Her former boss learned that the hard way.

Ethan is a man with attitude. Just his appearance screams badass and he is a man that doesn’t take crap from anyone. I think these two are a match made in heaven. I loved their dynamics and their love/hate relationship. They each have immense pride, determination and the ability to take care of themselves.

This story is about courage and one woman’s attempt to succeed in a man’s world of classified operations, danger and espionage. I thoroughly enjoyed Kate’s training regimen under Ethan’s “tender” care. He works her to exhaustion where she finds sore muscles she never knew she had along with her grit and determination to keep coming back in order to make the team she has committed to.

This story is both intriguing and entertaining. A fast-paced read with an abundance of twists and turns to keep the reader on edge and excited to see what happens next! Great job! I loved it!
