Happy Release Day to J.C. Cliff ~ Quinn: Undaunted Men series ~ Review of books 1 and 2 & Giveaway!

Quinn
Undaunted Men series book #1
by J.C. Cliff


They’ve done all kinds of work, from private investigations to highly classified governmental operations. Former military, their tight-knit brotherhood is now Atrox Security. These men fear nothing, they are unwavering, unafraid, and unrelenting. They are the Undaunted Men.

*~*~*

He doesn’t want to take the job, but he has no choice. He owes a debt to the Moretti mob, and last he checked, they don’t take no for an answer. 
He takes a moment to soak in the information. A pregnant mafia princess, wanted for murder, and he's supposed to track her down. 
The professed father is a childhood friend, yet he’s considered a potential enemy of the family. This could get very interesting.

What starts out as a simple task, one that could easily take him one day to execute, has turned into so much more than he bargained for. 

They’re each fighting their own personal demons, and it’s more than just a chase at hand. They both have secrets, hearts are on the line, and he resolves himself to go above and beyond the call of duty for reasons he can’t understand. The last thing he ever intends on finding is an angel.








Quinn
Undaunted Men Series Book #2
by J.C. Cliff



They’ve done all kinds of work, from private investigations to highly classified governmental operations. Former military, their tight-knit brotherhood is now Atrox Security. These men fear nothing, they are unwavering, unafraid, and unrelenting. They are the Undaunted Men.

*~*~*

He never wanted to take the job, but he had no choice. He owed a debt to the Moretti mob, and last he checked, they didn’t take no for an answer. 

Lexi has no phone, no camping experience, and there’s no way to get her back except to track her down. He's put it all on the line…his heart, that is, and she's run away with it. 

He will do anything to protect what is his, and when Lexi blurs the lines between trust and betrayal, she turns his life upside down. He is left to wonder if she ever truly was his angel.

Neither Quinn nor Alexis will ever be the same after surfacing from those mountain trails. They survived the wild, but can they survive each other?






~*Review*~

I am choosing to review Quinn as one entire book instead of 2 parts. Please be aware that Quinn book #1 is a cliffhanger!

Quinn is former military and works for Atrox security, he doesn't believe in commitment, unless it's in regards to his dog. Quinn is asked to find the daughter of a mobster who he owes a favor to and the adventures begin from there.  

Lexi is a pampered mafia princess & on the run from her fiancee, who only wants her for the power she can bring him. With the help of a friend, she makes her escape & takes off along the Appalachian trail...with no idea how to actually survive in the wilderness.

Quinn meets up with Lexi along the trail and watches out over her while trying to figure out who is actually after her and why. They have an almost instant sizzling hot connection. 

I only had one small issue in this story and that was the part of Quinn being told that Lexi was pregnant. The circumstances may have called for this in the storyline and I can see that...but it was Lexi's father who told Quinn this info and he should have (?) known that she supposedly has health issues and couldn't get pregnant ??!?? ~ It didn't really detract from the story for me too much.

Overall,  I thought this book was fabulous! Quinn was what I would consider a perfect read...It was full of suspense, action & drama and the characters were just blistering hot!
