5 Stars
This is book 3 in the Elite Forces Series and these books just keep getting better and better. I started reading and there was no stopping me til I finished. This is a story of loss and heartache and I found myself shedding some tears for Beau after all how do you come back from losing not only the love of your life but your unborn child as well. He is consumed with guilt and the last thing he needs is a woman in his life especially when that woman is your boss and best friends sister. Emmy gave him just what he needed a lot of hot sex but they both started feeling more than they should. Will she be able to help him or will the past haunt him forever...
This book has some fantastic friendships that are tested to the limits and it's a roller coaster of emotions. I love the authors style of writing and together they are perfection. Looking forward to the next book in this series.


5 Star Review of Stone (The Elite Forces Series, #3) by Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans

This is the third book in the Elite Forces series and is about Beau Harris and his rocky path back to the land of the living.

What can I say? I loved it.This series seems to get better and better. 

I never saw it coming and I will say I was totally devastated. I had to re read it twice, I couldn't believe you went there. What a roller-coaster of a ride; so many emotions were evoked whilst reading Stone. I will admit that I cried, this book was heartbreaking at times; such pain and loss. 

This is such a hard review to write as I do not want to give away any spoilers. I was on the edge of my seat and I read this book in almost one readI just didn’t want to put it down; I had to know what happened! 

The continuity between the authors was seamless. I have no idea who wrote which part and honestly, it doesn’t matter. It was fantastic from start to finish. 

This has fast become one of my favorite series this and I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series. 




Excerpt
“You going to stand there all day or get this shit done and over with, bitch?” He stands with his arms spread open as if he’s waiting for me to drive the first punch. That’s exactly what I do. I nail him with a right hook that lands on the side of his temple. He staggers, but before I have time to swing again, he plows into me with a kick to my stomach, followed by a punch that leads to a crunching noise from my nose. Blood spurts down my face, and pain ricochets from one side of my head to the other. His arms go up like he’s challenging me to come at him again. “Come on, Harris, you need this. I can take it, you pussy. Let’s go.” And I explode with that phrase. I grab him by the back of the neck, rolling us to the floor. Fists start flying fast and furious as if we’re fighting for our lives. An explosive punch to his ribs sets him off exactly how I want him. He attacks with the force I need. Brutal punches to my face bring pain to the surface before a sweep of my leg has me dropping back down to the floor. I welcome the pain. I need the pain. It eggs me on and revitalizes me in a way I crave. My next move is both spontaneous and unpredictable even to myself. I move swiftly and smoothly, snapping up off the floor. A swift kick to his jaw before I tumble backwards leaves him stunned and holding his face. This is a fight with no rules, no winner, where neither one of us is looking to be the undisclosed master. It’s a language all of its own. This is a lesson I need and one he’s been dying to give. Only, I don’t plan to make it easy on him. I know I’m hiding behind a mask of despair, and knowing this is when I let my guard down, when I decide to surrender and allow the man who has been doing his job as a friend to try and bring me back to the man I once was. I allow him to get one last destructive punch in. This is the one I need the most. The one that clearly knocks me on my goddamn ass until I’m lying there breathing heavily. My mind starts to tell me it’s time to move on. My chest explodes inside, and I finally feel the shards of reality that are heating up the blood pumping through my veins. It’s time to realize she isn’t coming back to me. It’s time for me to take the lesson of life that has pulled me under this rough, intense current of self-destruction. It’s his punch to the side of my head that fucking makes me feel I’m alive. Here’s the best part though, I don’t care if I’m alive. I care about nothing. This isn’t living, and yet it’s all I’ve got.
