Noah Payne used to be a Navy SEAL…until his job cost him his family. Now he wants revenge, and he’s not above playing dirty to get it. His current mission—to find a missing shipment of guns—is the last piece of the puzzle. But his only lead is Liam Prescott’s bucket list. Noah figures that by getting close to Liam’s sister, McKenzie, he’ll soon get his hands on the list. Only keeping his hands off a suddenly sexy McKenzie is turning out to be the real challenge!
Summary from Goodreads.com
📚📚📚Review📚📚📚
Rogue by Brynley Blake was a thrill ride of a read. There were hot, badass SEALs and a bucket list to die for. The chemistry between McKenzie and Noah was electric. The bucket list was my favorite part of this book and I can't wait to read the future books to see what else is on there! I hope that we get to meet more of Liam's (McKenzie's brother) SEAL team in Walker's book. I recommend this for anyone that loves military men, bucket lists full of risk, and sexy love scenes with a demanding alpha male. I will not give up hope that Liam may still be alive! Oh yeah, book two comes out on my birthday 🎉, hint hint! 😉

My interview with Brynley Blake:
Why and how did you decide what went on the bucket list?
I love bucket lists and I have one of my own, so a lot of the items on Liam’s list were inspired by mine. Some are sort of universal items. And still others are clues Liam left. But of course I can’t tell you which are which, or that would ruin the fun! I can tell you that Rebel, the last book of the series, will include Liam’s bucket list in its entirety.
Have you ever done any of the things listed?
I’ve done a few of them, and I plan to do a lot more. Actually, looking back at the list to answer this question, I realize I haven’t done that many at all! I have to get busy! I do have a tattoo. And I may have done a few of the more, um, intimate things on the list. All in the name of research of course! But I’m going to plead the fifth on specifics…
What was the most reckless and bold and fearless thing you've ever done?
I don’t have a great answer for this. I’m actually not really a thrill seeker, but I do LOVE adventures, being open to new experiences, and pushing myself a little beyond my comfort zone, so that accounts for some of the sort of reckless/bold/fearless things I’ve checked off my bucket list such as riding behind a guy on a motorcycle, getting a tattoo, making out with a stranger, having sex on the beach, riding in a hot air balloon, snorkeling, parasailing, ziplining, and taking a cross country road trip with friends that ended up with us on the band Heart’s tour bus at a truck stop at two in the morning, but that’s another story... But sometimes the things that take the most boldness and courage are things like pursuing your dreams, risking your heart, standing up for yourself and what you believe in, and refusing to settle for anything less than wonderful.
Is it a possibility that Liam is still alive??? (I hope so, would make a great plot twist for a future book 😉)
Anything is possible 😉
Will we meet all of Liam's SEAL team in future books?
As you already know, readers will meet Walker in Renegade, the next book in the series. Rebel, the third book, will wrap up the bucket list and the mystery of theguns, but I have loved writing about these alpha Navy SEALs, so it’s possible some other guys on the team may just keep the series going.
How long do I have to wait for Walker's book?
Not long! Renegade will be out August 15th. I really fell in love with Gemma and Walker; hopefully my readers will too.
I was so into this book! I really want to know what happens next, it's gonna kill me to wait 😊
You just made my day! I love hearing that.

About The Reaper's Embrace:
I’m marked for death.
If I can get this Deathmark removed, I can help save the world from total ruin. Only thing is, Brent Hume, Grim Reaper and love of my life, is hot on my trail, zeroing in on the mark that beckons him. The Reaper’s instinct cannot be denied. He would sooner stop breathing than ignore a Deathmark’s call.
He’s a tireless supernatural hunter, and I’m his top prey. If I don’t find a way to stop him from doing his job, everything and everyone I love will suffer. The world will suffer. And I’m sick of letting people down, dammit.
But even as I run from him, I want to run toward him.
📚📚📚 My Review 📚📚📚
My favorite genre to read is paranormal, with or without romance, ok mostly with 😉 That is what intrigued me about this book. I haven't read the others in this series (will be remedied ASAP) but that did not cause any issue with following the story. While I would have loved to have the details behind some of the things from past books, it wasn't necessary for me to enjoy and understand this one. The author did a fantastic job of giving just the right details to further the story without having to rewrite what was in the past books, and I love that, nothing bothers me more than reading a series and having most of what happened in the previous rewritten in the latest. I was a little confused with the Stygian, scrivener, eidolon, reaper and trivial classification system and what the differences were (I would think I had it figured out when something random would throw me and I'd be but I thought that was ....) but not enough to lose interest. This was a very unique world and while some of the paranormal references I recognized, they were used differently than I had seen before, and I absolutely love when that happens. It's like a whole new world of possibilities just opened for me and my overactive imagination. Can't wait to discover more worlds and stories from Abigail Baker!
Hi, I’m SJ, a coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I’m a lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I can drink coffee without writing, but I can’t write without coffee.
I grew up loving romance novels, my first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do, and I wandered down the paths of non-fiction for many years. My life changed completely a few of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape.
I write ‘Sweet N Steamy’ stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write.
These days I live in beautiful Montana, the last best place. If I’m not reading or writing you’ll find me just down the road in the park – Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles and the occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)
