ACE (The Trident Series Book 1)

This is one amazing story!!!There is so much to say that I don't even know where to start. Alex is brave and true to her country. Even after what she went through, she goes back to make things right. She never expected to find Ace though.Ace and his team are sent to work with Alex. He can't believe his feelings for her right away.There is so much betrayal but Alex is strong and Ace and his team are there for her.Can't wait to see what is next in this series.

Moving on to the next book in the series. I totally enjoyed this book. It was full of suspense, love and adventure. I strongly recommend anyone to read it and then move on to the next book.

Wow what an amazing story! This is my first book that I have read by Jaime Lewis and will not be the last.

This book was a great read and very intense and entertaining. I can't wait to get the next book in the series.

Orphaned at a young age Alex Hardest and was raised by her Navy Seal Uncle. Being a military brat she naturally gravitated to military life, but wasn't interested Navy Seals. Two years ago as a former National Security Agent she almost died in as an explosion during a covert operation. Now working in a private sector , she has been assigned to tracked down hostages in a place where she promised herself she wouldn't return to Afghanistan. She is still having flashbacks. But on the first day in the field she has a collision with a blue eyed Navy Seal that kicks her heart off. She surrounded by friends and colleagues who know and love her and swore to protect her . She fears that somebody within the ranks lacks trust and !loyalty. US Navy Seal Of. Commander Marcus "Ace" Chambers knows the moment he first saw Alex that she was special and she has a target on her back. Making her the most wanted woman in Afghanistan. He realized who her father and can't fight the attraction. They both work together but she still gets kidnapped but when they rescued her that she had whip several men but

I was interested in the first half. We had a smart, fiesty heroine (Alex) that was not only contributing to but leading a mission. A hero (Ace) that was interested but kept it on the DL because he didn't want to jeopardize the heroine's job or her professional image with his team or the higher-ups.However, around 65% a big plot point was concluded and I went to sleep for the night. I woke up the next day and continued reading only to find it was a completely different book.The last 30% of the book is trival nonsense that doesn't add to anything. We get a description of Alex buying a 4,000 sq ft house for some reason. We get Alex and her bestie singing at a drag show for some reason. We literally get one paragraph of someone from her past coming back and being a threat for 5 minutes. We get the team and a bunch of family at Christmas for some reason. None of the rest of the book matter at all!Some other things that bothered me:1. This book could really use an editor. There were quotes before someone actually started talking, quotes that were never closed, incorrect sayings, etc2. There are a lot of references to Alex's adoptive dad and her "uncles," to the point that I was sure this was a new spin off series. To my surprise, there is no original series that I could find. At least not belonging to Jamie Lewis. I wonder if this is something like the spin offs from Susan Stoker books by other authors that feature her characters (mainly Tex). This aspect was confusing to say the least.3. There is no way you don't know who the bad guy is. No one says it directly, but you know. If this was real life, that guy would've been under investigation after the first incident.4. The POVs switch so quickly. Sometimes we get a paragraph or two before we're switching again. There are also more POVs than necessary in my opinion. We just need hero, heroine, sometimes bad guy. Why are we hearing from her dad, her best friend? Maybe that's just my preference.5. The first sex scene is at 90% and it's fade to black? There was enough use of graphic languages and details in previous scenes that I thought for sure it would be on page, but no. There is a quick little recap the morning after but... what a strange choice.Even though there was a massive preview into the next relationship in the epilogue, I will not be continuing the series.

I really liked this book and look forward to reading the next book in the series! There was a good mix of story and romance with lots of build up. My only complaint that keeps me from giving it 5 stars was the lack of editing. I can usually ignore the occasional grammatical error or awkward phrasing because hey, we're human. But some of these were frequent enough that they were distracting. Lots of strange commas and missing words or awkward/wrong phrasing. "Aiding and embedding" is just incorrect and I think that's a simple thing to research and correct. I think just another set of eyes or another read-through would have helped! The informant was obvious from the beginning to me but I don't think it was meant to be a "whodunnit" book and didn't ruin the story for me.I love a good military romance with a strong female character and men who respect her strength!Overall a great start to a series and I enjoyed reading it!

SPOILERSWhat is hunting Alex?Who is hunting Alex?Will Alex survive the terror that is about to engulf her?Who is Ace?Will Ace save Alex?Will Ace reign in his mouth?Will Alex be able to make through the process of making it through her PTSD?What happens at Christmas?What is wrong with her best friend?Why won't Tenley tell Potter that there is a target on both of their backs?Who has the ability to t the dark and dirty deed and at what price? Jamie Lewis has put an equal balance between all actions that happen to Alex?Fantastic story, reminds me of what we experienced when my son made it home after being retired medically from the Army and 3 tours of Iraq.Thank you guys and gals for your service!

This really had potential. I was hooked from the beginning, intriguing plot line and strong likeable characters. The military aspects where well built and described, easy to understand even if you're not familiar. The chemistry between the characters was really great to start with. However the action was over and done two thirds into the book, and then it just dragged on and on and on. The action was a great read, had me worried for our heroine so certainly illicit emotions. But then the final 3rd of the book was just meh. After waiting and waiting for our mc's to FINALLY get it on - at 90% into the book after living together for a month! - I was greeted by essentially a fade to black. Very frustrating. I also really hate when books like this have our characters declaring their love for each and in this case moving into together when the only intimacy has been kissing and a bit of over the clothes dry humping. They're in their 30's for goodness sake! Its not realistic in the slightest! I was also dumbfounded by the 2nd 'event' if you will, that was basically skimmed over in 2 pages and explained absolutely nothing. Really missed a good opportunity there. This author has lent a little too much from a certain miss Stoker, although the military aspects are really well done (apart from having our girl on a base, working, wearing a pair of hotpants and a tank that she then left the base wearing...in Afghanistan. Never ever would have happened!), but the romance just became sickly sweet, unrealistic and fizzled right out. I prefer a bit of steam with my books and this really didn't provide, I guess that's a personal preference but if you like Susan Stokers books then you'll probably enjoy this. I'll read Potters book as I'm intrigued by that duo but if it follows the same as Ace has I won't be continuing the series.

I’m always looking for new authors so thought I’d try this book. Story is great and I really enjoyed it. The characters were well developed and I felt a connection so wanted to read on. However, it is riddled with grammatical errors: inconsistent use of tense (flipping from past to present tense), missing punctuation and spelling errors. Did anyone proofread this book? Having said that, I would read others in the series, in the hope that the minor irritations in the first book have been resolved.

Jaime Lewis is a new author to me and I will definitely be reading more. Wow! The story of Ace and Alex’s relationship is full on . I love the military background and setting and I am never visiting Afghanistan no matter how beautiful! Loved this.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. All the characters, not just Ace and Alex, were interesting and entertaining. This book had smiles and tenderness as well as nailbiting moments that kept me turning pages. Looking forward to Potter, the next book in the series will be on pre-order.

Loved this book ,was a pleasure to read from beginning to the end,beautifully written ,now going to read the second one ,so glad I bought the series ,well worth the money and advise people to have a read .
