Hades (Sentinel Security Book 2)

Every time I pick up a book by Anna Hackett it is better than the last. This book started with a bang and didn’t stop. It took you from DC to New York and all the way to Italy. It was one big adventure full of romance, the Italian mafia and an alpha male whose life changed the moment he met his match.Matteo “Hades” Mancini worked for the anti mafia division of the Italian police before he took a job with Killian and Sentinel Security. Now he’s unknowing dragged Gabbi, a CIA analyst who was delivering a file to him, into the cross fire of his resurfacing past. Gabbi and Matteo work together with the Sentinel Security team to figure out who is after them which takes them to Italy and to a masquerade party.Matteo falls pretty quickly for Gabbi. He has kept himself walled off in the past but Gabbi blew through his walls. Unfortunately for him, Gabbi has some pretty thick walls herself and he has to prove that he’s in it for the long haul. Matteo and Gabbi’s romance burns hot and their chemistry is even hotter.I loved this book. There was never a dull moment. Between the action and the romance I was enthralled. I loved how protective Matteo was and how sweet Gabbi was. There were all kinds of Easter Eggs for a few of the other members of Sentinel Security and I can’t wait to see where those lead.

4 stars - It was really goodWhen CIA analyst Gabbi Hansley is tasked with meeting a security contractor to drop off some information, she never expects to find herself in a shootout or to end up on the run with the sexy security contractor.This was a fast paced, action packed romance! Matteo is a former Anti-Mafia officer who really likes his job with Sentinel Security. Due to his past with the mafia, he has never had a permanent relationship with a woman but Gabbi changes everything for him in an instant. He is instantly attracted to her and does everything he can to show her how much he wants her for more than just the night. I really enjoyed how Matteo took the time to build Gabbi’s trust, especially when it comes to sex. She had a lot of trauma and barriers up that had prevented her from enjoying sex in the past, but Matteo takes his time and shows her how to embrace her sexuality. Matteo was a great hero who was protective but also respected her abilities as a CIA agent.Gabbi may not be a CIA field agent, but she is capable in her own way. She may have a few panic attacks along the way but she will still fight to defend herself or Matteo. I liked her a lot. She may have had a shitty family and childhood, but she didn’t let that prevent her from succeeding, even if she was playing it safe for years. Gabbi struggles to let Matteo close for a lot of this book because of the trauma of her family, but he never gives up on her. I enjoyed seeing her finally let go of the past and open up, especially with her sexuality.“We aren’t our pasts, Gabbi. We are who we make ourselves. We’re the values we hold, the actions we take.”Hades and Gabbi had instant attraction that led to a lot of foreplay, and I mean a lot. The first sex scene is in the second half of the book! But, I loved it because it meant that Gabbi could learn to embrace her sexuality and trust in Matteo. This book was just a great mixture of action, danger, and romance. I am really excited to read the next book because the more I learn about the members of Sentinel Security, the more I like them.Trigger warnings: toxic family of alcoholics, gamblers, and drug dealers; threat of torture;

This book was good, and I loved every second of it. The fast romance was in a way too fast, but other than it was, ok

I love Anna Hackett's books. They all have a formula and she sticks to it pretty consistently. You read enough of them and you can see the similarities in all of her books. But they are always a fun and fast paced read. I love her strong, stunning women and her beautiful, protective men characters. I love the theme of friends making up your family, and being so close knit you can't decide who's story you want next. I fall in love with her characters and I'm sad every time she finishes a series. Hades is no different. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So she wants secure and boring until a brush with death makes her realize she could live a little more for herself, plus the hunk of male specimen on the run with her is the perfect portrayal of living a bit more.I just loved this signature read by the talented Anna Hackett.
