Release Blast for Hart of Redemption by S.B. Alexander


 

HART OF REDEMPTION

S.B. Alexander

Release Date: March 7

  Darkness never looked so bright.   Duke Hart built an empire in the seedy underworld of Boston. Despite his success, he’s always kept his family at arm’s length to protect them from his dangerous lifestyle. But he’s ready to call it quits and hand over the reins to his partner until his sister Grace gets caught in the crossfire of a brutal war between rival gangs and the cartel.   Now Duke has no choice but to stay and fight. He abandoned Grace once. He’ll die before he’ll let her suffer again.   After five years with the bureau, FBI Agent Fallyn Williams finally has an opportunity she’s been waiting for. If she can bring in the notorious Duke Hart, then more doors will open for her as she climbs the corporate ladder to hopefully one day become the director—a role she’s dreamed about since her father held that prestigious position.  But in the treacherous expanse where gang wars and cartel thrive, Fallyn isn’t prepared for the cunning and deadly Duke Hart. As he worms his way into her heart, making her question everything she’s ever believed in, she finds herself caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.   With the stakes higher than ever, both Duke and Fallyn are determined to come out on top. But in a world where nothing is as it seems, success may come at a deadly cost.   Hart of Redemption is a stand-alone, enemies-to-lovers romantic suspense filled with an alpha hero, feisty heroine, action, intrigue, off-the-charts steamy times, and a happily ever after. 

 
This was an enjoyable story overall we loved the characters. This is a first-time author for us and we always enjoy discovering new authors to feed our reading addiction. We would love to go back a read the previous books as Duke's brothers we found fascinating.

We thought the story had the right amount of suspense and action, banter, a feisty undercover agent struggling with her conscience, and criminal elements wanting to get out of the game without ending up dead. Loved the opposites attract going on between characters. We loved seeing Duke fall hard and fast and understood why he was drawn to Joy aka Fallyn as she was funny and even undercover remained true to herself.

We loved the chemistry between Duke & Joy aka Fallyn the back-and-forth between them was quite funny both fighting what they were feeling but, also wanting to do the right thing where each other was concerned.

We enjoyed the characters, especially Duke's family they were always in his corner. The story took you on a journey of twists and turns and had some surprises popping up and some unlikely allies. It was a fun read for sure.

Hart of Darkness by S.B. Alexander Blitz & Giveaway


Hart of Darkness
S.B. Alexander
Publication date: June 12th 2018
Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense
The road to love is paved in the dark.
Former gang member Dillon Hart abandoned the streets to join the US Merchant Marines. He feels his life is finally on track until he returns home to discover that his sixteen-year-old sister is missing. With his younger brother in jail and his older brother living a life of crime, it’s up to Dillon to find Grace. After four years of searching, a phone call from a morgue gives him a lead that he can’t pass up. Enlisting the help of a cutthroat reporter may be his only hope.
Crime reporter Maggie Marx has just the right mix of grit and sex appeal to get anything she wants, even the darkest stories on the street. Growing up in a gang, she had her fair share of setbacks and obstacles. When Dillon Hart seeks her help, she’s more than ready to take down the street’s biggest enemy. Her actions could help her exact revenge or land her in the belly of the beast.
As Dillon and Maggie team up to search for Dillon’s sister, they aren’t prepared to find what lies ahead. One family is torn apart. Another is brought together. Hearts are shredded, secrets are uncovered, and love takes on a whole new meaning.
Intended for audiences 18+
EXCERPT:
I parked two blocks from a sea of red and blue flashing lights. I grabbed my bag, hopped out of my car, and ran up to the crowd that had gathered around.
I sidled up to an older lady. “What’s going on?”
She didn’t even look my way. Instead, she lifted up on her tiptoes to see over others’ heads. “Word is the cops are in a standoff with some gang.”
My internal radar was firing on all cylinders. “What gang?”
She clutched the robe she was wearing. “Not sure.”
I plowed through the throng to get a better view. Some protested as I wiggled my way up to a man in blue, whose name read Miladin on his uniform shirt. I knew some cops but not him.
Police cruisers and unmarked cars littered the street on the other side of the police barricade.
I flashed my reporter credentials. “I’m here to see Detective Ted Hughes.” I scanned the men in blue and some in plain clothes. Ted was tall, lanky, and sometimes hard to miss with his thick mustache that was similar to the actor Tom Selleck’s. I did another once-over and spotted Rick. He wasn’t as tall as Ted, but he was husky, compliments of the gym he lived at during his off-duty hours.
Officer Miladin narrowed his dark eyes. “Civilians are not allowed past this barrier.”
“I work for the paper, so let me through.” I knew working as a reporter held no clout to get me into an active police scene, but most cops knew I was close to Ted.
Officer Miladin stabbed a finger at another police barrier along the sidewalk in front of the brick homes that lined the street. “The media is over there.”
I didn’t budge from my spot. “You’re new. Aren’t you?”
Miladin’s voice dropped an octave. “I said over there.”
I huffed and decided it wasn’t worth arguing. Ted would only kick me out anyway.
I spotted Deidre, a news reporter for CBNT, a local station in the city. If anyone had a lead, it would be Deidre. She was relentless in her hunt to get the big story. I was about to make my way over to her, when a shot rang out through the humid night.
People screamed and scattered.
The cops took cover behind their vehicles.
I managed to duck behind one of many cars parked along the curb. The lady in the robe joined me, breathing heavily, while the crowd scattered to take cover.
Then silence ensued.
I slowly peeked through the car window, when the lady in the robe nudged me.
She pointed a red-painted nail toward the driveway of the house across from us. “Look.”
A girl with bold red hair darted from the back of the house, setting off the motion sensor.
Miladin, who had abandoned his position, edged along the base of the house and down the driveway. He said something into his radio, when the redhead climbed the chain-link fence.
Considering the girl was running, I suspected the cops didn’t have the house completely surrounded. Or if they did, then their attention wasn’t on the girl.
The crowd seemed to be holding its breath.
