SAY NO MORE (GRAVEDIGGERS #3)

Return to New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Liliana Hart’s romantic suspense series, the Gravediggers, with this thrilling game of cat and mouse between a member of the Gravediggers and the brilliant woman hot on his heels.

Sometimes the dead do rise…

Dante Malcolm is a man of refined tastes. He was once a part of Britain’s Elite Intelligence Force, but there was a reason he’d never been able to capture Simon Locke, the notorious thief who always seemed to be one step ahead. That’s because Dante and Simon were one and the same, until Dante’s double life eventually caught up with him and now he belongs to the Gravediggers.

Eva Rothschild is a Detective Inspector with Interpol and is the one responsible for catching MI-6’s most notorious agent in his final heist—except the heist killed him. But something has never felt right about his death, and it’s haunted her for months. It was too easy, and Dante Malcolm was too smart to go down that way.

Dante might belong to the Gravediggers in body, but his heart and soul will always belong to the next job. The rest of the team doesn’t know about his alter ego because he made sure the information went missing from his file. So when the job he’s always waited for seems like a possibility, he sneaks out of the country like a thief in the night, only to run into the only woman who’s ever been able to match him in wit—and passion—for the job. Except they’re standing on opposite sides of the law—and only one of them can walk away with the prize.

Nikki’s Review:

This series just keeps getting better and better! I loved the first two books, but this book was even better! Maybe I connected with the characters more...I'm not sure, really. It was just damn good!

This series is like James Bond, but with delicious sexy times and over the top alpha heroes. Dante leads a secret life that Liv is oblivious to. He's a spy, but he skates the edge of the law. When he's forced to leave Liv behind and join the Gravediggers, she's left heartbroken.

Liv is a kick buff heroine who can take care of herself. She's trying to make amends for a past tragedy from when she was a child. To do this, she'll take down any bad guy that gets in her way!

The chemistry between these two was palpable. Liv wants to hate him for what he did. Dante still wants her with a fiery passion. That whole love and hate thing makes the lust leap off of the pages! 

I had so much fun going on this adventure with the hero and heroine. Liliana Hart is brilliant when it comes to twist and turns in a romantic suspense. Her writing keeps me on the edge of my seat from page one. I love the witty banter between the teammates. Miller Darling (the romance writer from book two) cracks me up! I could get lost in just reading the dialogue. I love it!

There's lots of emotion in this book. Both Dante and Liv are looking for redemption, even if they don't realize it. They come to realize that they're each other's other half. I didn't ugly cry in this book, but I definitely had all the feels.

This series is nothing short of incredible. The writing is outstanding. The characters make you care about them. I'm dying for Axel's book. His story is going to wreck me. Yay for ugly cries! 

If you like books that have super sexy spies, adventure, and a lot of laughter...read this book! Read the series!

“A cool blend of entertaining antics and suspenseful moments, with a slightly morbid sense of humor thrown in for good measure. (Our heroine was a mortician, after all!) I had a blast getting to know this cast of characters and can’t wait to see what exciting things Liliana Hart has in store for us next.”

About the book:
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Liliana Hart’s second book in her sexy, suspenseful Gravediggers series, GONE TO DUST, features an elite group of mysterious men who might be dead to the world, but are also tasked with saving it—and no one can ever know.

The Gravediggers aren’t exactly what they seem. They’re the most elite of the world’s fighting forces—and all they have in common is that they’ve been betrayed by the countries they’ve died for. Because they are dead. To their country, their military, and their families. Sometimes the dead do rise…

Miller Darling is one of the most popular romance novelists of her time. Not bad for a woman who doesn’t believe in romance. She’s as logical as they come, and she doesn’t believe in happily-ever-afters. What she does believe in is family, so when her brother disappears, she doesn’t think twice about packing her bag and her laptop and heading out to find him.

Elias Cole lived and breathed the live of a Navy SEAL. Now he’s “dead” and his hero’s honor tarnished. The only thing keeping him sane are the men who are like him—The Gravediggers—and the woman who makes his head spin. He’s never met anyone like Miller Darling. Her smart mouth and quick wit keep him on his toes, and damned if he doesn’t find that appealing.

When Miller receives a package from the brother who abandoned her asking for help, it’s clear she’s in over her head with the mess he’s gotten himself into. She needs a professional, and Elias is just the man for the job. Only her brother is a former SEAL—the man who left his team to die—and Elias is more interested in vengeance than saving his life.

Nikki’s Review:

I just need to come out and say it right from the beginning...I loved this book! Man, I haven't had so much fun reading a book in a long time. I laughed out loud so many times. Gone to Dust, isn't a romantic comedy, but the heroine is sarcastic and sassy in the best possible way!

I adored the heroine, Miller! She's full of snark and witty comebacks. But she's also a really great person. She's completely genuine and someone I would want to be friends with. I won't say too much, but the part where she rips the UPS guy a new asshole for knocking on her door is absolutely priceless, and belly laugh inducing! Oy! The things that come out of her mouth! 

Elias is a swoon worthy hero. He's a bit broody, but delicious all at the same time. His sense of honour and duty is inspiring. Plus, he's hot, so that's enough for Miller's girlie bits to take notice. 

The premise of this series is so exciting. A super secret agency of the worlds most highly trained operatives fighting to save us all from the really bad guys. I like the camaraderie between the teammates. They've essentially been forced into their roles within the Gravediggers, but the bond they've formed is by choice. Loyalty is first and foremost.

The whole time I was reading this book and going on this adventure with Miller and Elias through the Jungle, I was reminded of that movie from the 80's, Romancing the Stone. I love that movie! 

While there is plenty of heart stopping action and adventure in this book, there is also a whole lot of romance. The steamy kind of romance that I crave in a book. 

Liliana Hart outdid herself with this one. I've been a fan of her writing for years. But this book was incredible. The plot is stellar. I think this may be my favourite novel by Ms. Hart. 

As always, because I'm ridiculously OCD when it comes to reading books in order, I think you should start at the beginning of the series with, The Darkest Corner, to get the best enjoyment. You can read this as a stand alone, but the whole premise of the series is set up in the first novel.

If you're looking for a book that has a heroine who is full of spit and vinegar, but is so damn likeable, and a hero who is sex on legs...read this!

THE DARKEST CORNER (GRAVEDIGGERS #1)

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Liliana Hart’s first book in her suspenseful Gravediggers series, featuring an elite group of mysterious men who might be dead to the world, but are also tasked with saving it—and no one can ever know.

The Gravediggers aren’t exactly what they seem. They’re the most elite of the world’s fighting forces—and all they have in common is that they’ve been betrayed by the countries they’ve died for. Because they are dead. To their country, their military, and their families.

Sometimes the dead do rise...

Solomon Lange is a dead man walking. A former black ops agent, he was disavowed and stripped of all honor before being recruited as a Gravedigger. But his honor and good name no longer matter, because no one knows he’s alive, and he’ll never get the recognition he deserves. His mission is simple: save the world or die trying. And for God’s sake, don’t ever fall in love. That’s a rule punishable by death. The kind of death a man can’t be brought back from.

Tess Sherman is the only mortician in Last Stop, Texas. She has no idea how Solomon Lange ended up in her funeral home, but she’ll eat her hat if he’s only a funeral home assistant. Solomon is dangerous, deadly, and gorgeous. And she knows her attraction to him can only end in heartache.

Solomon is on a mission to stop the most fatal terror attack the world has ever known—what’s known as The Day of Destiny—a terrorist’s dream. But when he discovers Tess has skills he can use to stop them, he has to decide if he can trust her with secrets worth dying for. And, most important, he has to decide if he can trust her with his heart.

Nikki’s Review:
To say that I was excited about this new series by Liliana Hart is an understatement. Ms. Hart's novels have captivated me from the moment I first read, Cade, in her Mackenzie series! 

This book had a different feel than the Mackenzie books. The romance was very much still there, but there was more mystery and suspense in the plot. The Mackenzie's were always full of those elements, too. But this time, I felt like it was equally balanced with the romance aspect. I loved it!

In my opinion, this book was very character driven. I could "see inside the heart" of them. Obviously, with the secondary characters, I was left wanting more, which is a sign of great writing! I was already anticipating the next book in the series, and I was barely through the first four chapters! 

I love Tess Sherman! She made an otherwise serious plot, funny. Her spitfire temper is something to behold! I love how "real" she was. She has insecurities, but she's tough. She babbles when she's nervous, which is giggle worthy! The very sight of Deacon can reduce her to a babbling mess. 

Deacon is my favourite kind of hero. He's all broody and serious, but there's more to him lurking under his exterior. He's a man of integrity and honour. He'll do what's right, no matter the cost. And he'll fight for what he wants...and he wants Tess!

This book had a frustratingly slow burn. There was so much chemistry between Tess and Deacon. I was constantly holding my breath and hoping they'd get to the hot sexy times. But I had to wait. It was important that it went in that direction, but that made it no less frustrating. But holy hell, when they finally got to the hot sweaty stuff...hallelujah! It was delicious! I never knew that a motorcycle could be used for something other than driving. Huh...you learn something new everyday! 

There's so much going on in this book. But not in that confusing-what the hell is happening now-way. It's very detailed oriented, and I can't imagine the countless hours of research that Liliana put into it. The suspense aspect left me with chills. With the world the way that is right now, it all seemed too plausible. I was drawn into this book. I ignored what was going on around me. I craved the details. 

I don't want to focus too much on the intricacies of the plot. I don't want to spoil it for you. The whole concept of a secret ops team that are so secret, not even the President knows about them is enthralling. If you're looking for a book or series that has a great balance of action and romance, this is it! If you want to read about brave men, who happen to be gorgeous, risk life and limb, all the while leading secret lives, save the world...read this book! And if you want to read a book that delivers the kind of romance you can expect from a Liliana Hart novel...well, here ya go!
