 le dernier tome de la série "Blade and Arrow Shadow Team " "Protected from Torment" : il sortira le 8 septembre en anglais et évidemment, vous pouvez retrouver la chronique des 4 tomes précédents sur le blog.

Merci à Gia Cobie pour son envoi en ARC et sa confiance.

Présentation

Two wounded hearts. Two people who’d given up on love. And a chance meeting that brought them together.

When we met during a storm, I was struck by her bravery.

Afterwards, when Melissa told me who she was, I could tell she was expecting me to judge her.

But how could I when I knew all too well the pain she’d gone through, and how it could make you think of doing things you’d otherwise never consider?

On top of that, I just liked her. That’s why I gave her my number. And that’s why, when she calls me from the other side of the country, hurt and in trouble, I don’t think twice about going to help her.

I wasn’t sure I deserved his help. But I asked for it anyway.

After a violent attack, I didn’t know where else to turn. Not to my parents, who’d I’d already put through enough. Not to the so-called friends who turned their backs on me.

When I called Tyler, I half expected him to refuse me. But he didn’t. Instead, he dropped everything to come to my side.

I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised that the wounded warrior I met during a storm would insist on protecting me. Instead, the surprise was falling in love with him.

Protected from Torment is the story of two wounded people who gave up on love, only to find it again when they least expect it. It features a wounded warrior hero and a heroine searching for redemption, a team of Army veterans, found family, forced proximity, thrilling twists, and a guaranteed HEA. Can be read as a standalone.

 C'est le jour J pour  le tome 4 de la série " (Special Forces: Operation Alpha) (Blade and Arrow Shadow team) de Gia Cobie "Protected from Reprisal"  : je vous rappelle que j'ai chroniqué les trois précédent et vous parle de celui-ci demain.

Présentation

When I was captured, my life fell apart.

Before, I was strong. Confident. Brave. I'd worked hard to gain the respect of my Green Beret teammates, and I was proud of the soldier I'd become.

Then our mission went wrong, and I was held in captivity for months. And the woman who was eventually rescued wasn’t the same one I’d been before.

Two years on, I have a new life as a civilian, working for a robotics company. I create prosthetics for veterans. And I have friends who understand what I've been through, like Ace. All things considered, I should count myself as lucky when things could have been so much worse.

Then my luck runs out again. Now I’m in danger, except this time, I don’t know the enemy.


We both had demons holding us back.

I knew Yara had suffered during her captivity. But it wasn’t until I found her having a panic attack that I really understood how much she still struggled with it.

Finding her like that kicked my protective instincts into overdrive. But she didn’t want me to protect her. She wanted to do it herself.

Still, I wasn't about to turn my back on my friend, so I came up with excuses to see her more often. And if I happened to be attracted to her more than any other woman I’ve known? It didn’t matter, because neither of us were looking for a relationship.

Then Yara ends up in danger again. And when I find her, bloody and bruised after a violent attack, all bets are off. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her.

Protected from Reprisal is a steamy friends to lovers story featuring a protective alpha hero, a strong heroine struggling with her past, a team of Army veterans, found family, forced proximity, thrilling twists, and a guaranteed HEA. Can be read as a standalone.

✨EXCERPT: REDEEMING ROGUE by @giacobie releasing April 6th!

#PreOrderNow

https://a.co/d/0fWJo8Be 


Horror streaks through me.

Then rage ignites; a supernova of it.

“Get off her!” I roar.

As I’m lunging towards him, he spins towards me.

His face is disguised by a latex mask, the same kind you see bank robbers wearing in the movies.

A lanyard bounces on his chest, but I’d bet anything it’s not real.

Eyes dark as coal meet mine. His gaze flickers with surprise. Then fear.

My fist is already flying towards him as he turns again, so it glances off the side of his head, rather than flush in the center of his face, as I intended.

The pillow falls to the floor.

“Don’t touch her,” I snarl. My voice promises death. And right now, I’d deliver it gladly.

Just as I’m about to hit him again, he grabs Sofia, lifting her like she weighs nothing, and flings her at me.

Fuck!

I instinctively catch her, clasping her limp body against mine.

And that fucker, who knew exactly what he was doing, takes the opening and rushes past me.

“Stop him!” I bellow. “Red alert!”

Somewhere down the hallway, I hear a startled shout. Metal clangs. Something heavy hits the ground.

I want to go after him. I could still catch him, I’m sure.

But Sofia.

Shit. Sofia.

Fuck. Is she still alive?

Lifting her high in my arms, I put my cheek close to her mouth. 

For a moment, there’s nothing.

The walls close in.

My pulse stutters.

No. She can’t be.

Then a whisper of breath brushes my cheek.

And she gasps.

Her eyes fly open, filled with confusion.

A beat later, recognition replaces it. Then she croaks, “Nico?”

The relief is so overwhelming, my legs go weak with it.

My arms tighten around her. “Yeah. It’s me.”

 "Protected from Evil", le tome 3 de la série "Blade and Arrow Shadow Team" de Gia Cobie : il sortira le 10 mars en anglais. Vous pouvez retrouver les chroniques des tomes précédents sur le blog Merci à The author agency

Présentation

A terrible betrayal cost me everything.

My home. My job. My reputation. My so-called friends.

Scared, hurting, the life I’d worked so hard for in shambles, there seemed no better option than to leave.

After years of city life, the idea of escaping to the small town of Williston seemed appealing. So I picked up and moved there to take a job at the local diner. It might not have been what I’d trained for, but I came to enjoy it.

Something else I enjoyed? Talking to Webb—my favorite customer, the most handsome man I’d ever met, and a man I might have considered dating if things were different.

Ever since I met Noelle at the diner, it’s become my favorite place to visit.

And if she gave any sign of being interested, I’d ask her out in a second.

As we grow closer, I can tell she’s keeping a secret. I’m worried, but I don’t know her well enough to push. Not until I find her hurt and and humiliated and crying in the diner bathroom, that is. Not until I find out the truth of why she left her old life behind.

Noelle needs someone who believes in her. Someone who’ll do anything to protect her. And with the help of my Blade and Arrow teammates, I intend to do just that.

Protected from Evil is a steamy he-falls-first story featuring a former Night Stalker, a scared but strong heroine, a team of Army veterans, found family, forced proximity, thrilling twists, and a guaranteed HEA. Can be read as a standalone.

Un tome 2 tout aussi réussi que le premier (lecture en anglais)

vendredi 13 février 2026

 Il y a des auteurs ou autrices qu'on découvre par hasard et que vous savez que vous allez suivre ensuite : c'est le cas de Gia Cobie qui m'a embarquée dans ses romances de romantic suspense. C'est ainsi que j'ai lu avec plaisir le tome 2 de sa nouvelle série "Blade and Arrow Shadow Team " "Protected from the villainy" : ce sont des ex-soldats d'élites qui ont formé une équipe de protection haut de gamme (il y a plusieurs équipes qui ont eu leurs séries avant) 
J'avais beaucoup aimé le frère de l'héroïne du tome 1, Indy, un homme qui est passé par de lourds moments après avoir été blessé et amputé d'une partie du bras et surtout de la main et avait sombré dans la dépression : c'est l'une des raisons pour lesquelles elle avait appelé à l'aide le meilleur ami de celui-ci, Rafe, à l'aide lors du premier tome.
On va donc apprendre davantage à connaître Indy et notamment ce qu'il a vécu lorsqu'il a été hospitalisé puis envoyé en centre afin de se reconstruire : on découvre notamment qu'il avait rencontré une jeune femme, Bea, sa kiné et qui avait preuve de beaucoup de patience avec lui. Lorsque celle-ci a son tour a des ennuis (elle est accusée d'un crime qu'elle n'a évidemment pas commis), sûr de son innocence, il décide de lui venir en aide et de la protéger là où il est avec son équipe. Mais cela implique de briser quelques lois et de risquer leur liberté. Mais tous acceptent de l'aider (je ne spoile pas, c'est dans le résumé) 
 Mais ils ne se sont pas vus depuis 3 ans, la jeune femme qui ne comprend pas ce qui lui arrive et où elle est pourra-t-elle faire confiance à Indy alors que ce dernier n'a pas toujours été agréable (et c'est un euphémisme) avec elle? Prendra-t-elle le risque de mettre sa vie en danger et la sienne mais aussi celle de ses coéquipiers et amis? Mais surtout, qui lui a tendu ce piège et pourquoi? eh bien, des réponses à toutes ces questions dans cet excellent romantic suspense qui va nous entraîner de surprises en surprises jusqu'au bout.

"Protected from the villainy" est sorti le 20 janvier et je remercie The Author Agency pour leur envoi en ARC : j'adore tellement cette série que j'ai déjà postulé pour le 3.

Présentation : 

As soon as I heard the news, I knew it had to be wrong.

Bea? A killer? Impossible.

Not the sweet therapist who gently bullied me into recovery and never gave up on me, no matter how grouchy I was. She believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. And I wouldn’t be where I am now without her.

Helping Bea means breaking the law. It means asking my Blade and Arrow teammates to risk their freedom, if we’re caught. But the idea of leaving Bea on her own is unthinkable. So, with my friends' help, we race to stage a daring rescue before it's too late.

I woke up from one nightmare only to be thrust into another.

First witness to a horrific crime; now accused of being the one who did it.

On top of that, my protector is a man I never expected to see again. I thought about Indy from time to time—wondering, worrying, even toying with the idea of checking up on him. But I never, ever imagined I’d wake up on the other side of the country after he abducted me.

I want to be angry with him for what he did, even though he claims he’s just trying to help me. But it’s really hard to stay mad at Indy when he’s the only one who makes me feel safe.

Protected from Villainy features a wounded warrior hero, a sweet and strong heroine with struggles of her own, forced proximity, found family, a security team of Army veterans, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. Can be read as a standalone and an HEA guaranteed!

Mon avis : C'est simple, j'ai adoré! L'intrigue est hyper bien faite, les personnages sont attachants avec leurs forces et leurs souffrances : j'adore cet esprit d'équipe et la romance est top et hot. De plus, comme ce sont des ex-soldats d'élite qui ont été blessés, ils ont des choses à gérer et en même temps, nous, on apprend davantage sur la vie et la reconstruction par la suite et soyons clairs, pour ces hommes hors-norme, ce n'est pas simple. J'ai déjà d'ailleurs hâte de lire les histoires des autres membres de l'équipe.

Indy m'intriguait dès le tome 1 et il a été à la hauteur de mes espérances. Dès le départ, on comprend que malgré son état, il a toujours été attiré par Bea et qu'il ne l'a jamais oubliée, c'est pourquoi il n'hésite pas à braver les lois pour la sauver. Il est patient avec elle, la soutient et est plein d'humour et il cuisine! Bref, il se sent diminué, même s'il a repris confiance en lui mais est sexy en diable. Enfin, c'est un protecteur, il n'a pas oublié ce qui est arrivé à sa soeur et il se sent toujours coupable et ne veut pas manquer une deuxième fois à son devoir. Bref, comme tous ses amis, c'est un soldat et quand il le faut, il est implacable.

Bea est une jeune femme qui ne méritait pas ça : elle est adorable, perd son amie dans des circonstances affreuses et est accusée de son crime sans qu'elle ne comprenne pourquoi. Fort heureusement, elle a l'aide inattendue d'Indi, un patient qu'elle n'a jamais oublié non plus (mais elle ne franchissait jamais les limites et était trop mal à l'époque) Malgré les épreuves qu'elle a subies dans sa vie, elle s'est consacrée aux autres, est patiente, fait preuve d'humour et sait soutenir celui qu'elle aime. J'ai aimé comment elle trouve sa place dans cet univers essentiellement masculin et est prête à se battre pour son avenir et bonheur.


Bref, c'est encore un tome réussi avec des explications inattendues et qui nous mènent jusqu'au bout : on ne s'ennuie pas un seul instant, on a envie de savoir et la romance est hot et juste à la fois.

Vivement le prochain tome en mars.

Un premier tome addictif (lecture en anglais)

vendredi 12 septembre 2025

 J'ai découvert récemment Gia Cobie grâce aux propositions de service presse en anglais et c'est déjà le deuxième roman que je lis d'elle et certainement pas le dernier : là, j'ai découvert le tome 1 de sa nouvelle série "Special Forces: Operation Alpha : Blade and Arrow Shadow Team" (il y a visiblement eu deux séries avant et c'est une nouvelle équipe de badass qui est créée ici) 

Nous allons donc découvrir Eden, une jeune femme brillante, scientifique de son état qui est menacée : fort heureusement pour elle, son frère est un ex de l'armée et surtout, elle craque depuis des années pour le meilleur ami de celui-ci, Rafe (lui aussi ex-militaire) qui est un chasseur de primes et bien sûr, qui est en lien avec ses ex-coéquipiers : or, ce qu'elle ne sait pas, c 'est que lui aussi craque pour elle mais il s'interdit de tenter quelque chose car il se juge indigne d'elle (et il est plus âgé aussi) mais lorsqu'il réalise que les menaces sont sérieuses et qu'il pourrait perdre la jeune femme, il va alors faire appel à ses amis qui vont alors mobiliser d'anciens militaires (qui ont tous visiblement des histoires lourdes que j'ai hâte de lire) spécialistes dans des domaines pointus et bien sûr le frère d'Eden, personnage vraiment intéressant. Tous vont alors devoir vivre "ensemble" et cette proximité forcée pourrait bien rapprocher nos deux héros. Vous rajoutez des secrets parfois douloureux, des personnages qui ne sont pas des anges et vous avez une histoire passionnante où l'on ne s'ennuie pas un seul instant : j'ai vraiment hâte de lire les prochains tomes.

"Protected from malice" est sorti le 9 septembre et je remercie The Author Agency pour leur envoi en ARC.

Présentation

At first, I thought it was just paranoia.

It wouldn’t be the first time, after all. Ever since that night two years ago, I’ve never felt completely safe. So I convinced myself the strange sense of being watched was all in my head. My PTSD flaring up just as it had in the past.

Then I was nearly run off the road on my way home from work, and as much as I wished it was just a coincidence, I knew it wasn’t.

I could go to the police, but I wanted someone I trusted to help me.

So I called Rafe. My brother’s former teammate and best friend. And—though I’d never let on for a second—the man who’d held my heart ever since I met him.

As soon as Eden told me she was in trouble, I dropped everything to help her.

“Maybe it’s nothing,” she told me. “But things have been happening.”

I didn’t need to hear more. If Eden needed me, I would be there. And if someone was bothering her, I’d teach them that they messed with the wrong woman. Because as a bounty hunter and former Green Beret, I’m the last person they want to piss off.

When I arrive in Portland to find Eden terrified and in danger, every protective instinct comes roaring to the surface. And I’m furious that someone would dare try to hurt her.

I’m not the white knight I always thought Eden deserved. Far from it. But I’m a dangerous man when someone I care about is threatened. And Eden? I’ll do anything to protect her.

Protected from Malice is a slow burn friends-to-lovers story with a morally grey hero who’ll do anything to protect the people he loves, a brave and intelligent heroine, a team of Army veterans, thrilling twists, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed!

TW- References to prior SA

Mon avis : J'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé cette romance : tout d'abord, les héros masculins sont tous d'anciens forces spéciales et ils ont tous gardé des souffrances, ce qui les rend attachants. Rafe est un homme qui ne lésine pas pour protéger Eden et il n'a rien d'un chevalier blanc, on peut le qualifier de chevalier gris : il est protecteur envers ceux qui l'aiment et gare à ceux qui s'attaquent à eux et notamment à Eden. Il pense ne pas être digne d'être aimé en raison de son passé et ce qu'il est devenu mais... non seulement, la jeune femme a un frère militaire, Indy et elle est habituée à un certain nombre de choses  : et quand la fin justifie les moyens... bref, c'est à la fois un tendre avec elle mais pas un tendre avec les autres. 

Eden est une femme sacrément forte : je vous laisse découvrir son histoire et en plus, elle a dû soutenir son frère blessé au combat et qui a perdu sa main et qui a sombré dans la dépression si bien qu'elle s'est oubliée. Toutefois, elle a rencontré le meilleur ami de son frère et a craqué pour lui mais elle pense ne pas avoir de chance avec lui. Or, quand elle est de nouveau menacée, elle se tourne vers lui et va pouvoir s'appuyer sur lui, tout en le soutenant lui aussi. L'arrivée de son frère et ses amis va davantage la rassurer mais compliqué de rester seule avec celui qu'elle veut vraiment tout en essayant de mener une vie presque normale et en essayant d'échapper aux menaces. C'est une jeune femme aimante, brillante (j'adore le surnom que lui donne Rafe "Brain") et qui ne mérite pas tout ce qui lui arrive.

C'est un bon romantic suspense avec une histoire qui sera vous surprendre : la romance amie/amants et meilleur ami de son frère est bien menée. J'ai tellement hâte de lire les histoires des autres membres de l'équipe qui sont un vrai plus et intrigants, que ce soit Indy dont j'ai adoré la relation avec sa soeur (il culpabilise de ne pas avoir été là pour elle) ou encore Tyler dont l'histoire est peut-être la plus terrible. Bref, vivement la suite. Je la lirai, c'est sûr.

Résumé :

At first, I thought it was just paranoia.

It wouldn’t be the first time, after all. Ever since that night two years ago, I’ve never felt completely safe. So I convinced myself the strange sense of being watched was all in my head. My PTSD flaring up just as it had in the past.

Then I was nearly run off the road on my way home from work, and as much as I wished it was just a coincidence, I knew it wasn’t.

I could go to the police, but I wanted someone I trusted to help me.

So I called Rafe. My brother’s former teammate and best friend. And—though I’d never let on for a second—the man who’d held my heart ever since I met him.

As soon as Eden told me she was in trouble, I dropped everything to help her.

“Maybe it’s nothing,” she told me. “But things have been happening.”

I didn’t need to hear more. If Eden needed me, I would be there. And if someone was bothering her, I’d teach them that they messed with the wrong woman. Because as a bounty hunter and former Green Beret, I’m the last person they want to piss off.

When I arrive in Portland to find Eden terrified and in danger, every protective instinct comes roaring to the surface. And I’m furious that someone would dare try to hurt her.

I’m not the white knight I always thought Eden deserved. Far from it. But I’m a dangerous man when someone I care about is threatened. And Eden? I’ll do anything to protect her.

Protected from Malice is a slow burn friends-to-lovers story with a morally grey hero who’ll do anything to protect the people he loves, a brave and intelligent heroine, a team of Army veterans, thrilling twists, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed!
