SHE’S NOTHING BUT TROUBLE
Riordan Malone is more than a bodyguard. As an Elite Ops agent, he’s ripped, raged, and ready to rumble—a true warrior, inside and out. But no war zone can compare to the battle in Rory’s heart when he lays eyes on the only woman he’s ever loved—and thought he had lost forever. . .

HE’S EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS
As the daughter of a crime lord, Amara Resnova has endured the cruelty of her father’s enemies—and has tried to escape that world ever since. Now, she must reach out to the one man who saved her life, even if she’s never forgiven him for breaking her heart. But Amara is tougher today than she was then. She’s also more desirable to Rory—and dangerous to love. Can he protect her from her father’s enemies without surrendering to his own passions...or will love seal their fate for good?

Ratings and reviews

When I first started this one I thought I had read it before but quickly realized it was related to the Elite OP series. Amara was kidnapped and rescued and six months has passed and her memory is gone of the events of the kidnapping and all events leading up to it, however, she is still in danger. Riordan and Grandpops and the Elite Ops and Brute Force team are brought back to protect her. The amnesia was a tricky thing and the chemistry between Riordan and Amara was palpable and combustible but Riordan walking on eggshells around her at times didn't sit well. This was a typical Lora Leigh romance and full of steamy sex and that was not disappointing. **Received this ARC for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

This is the first novel in a new series that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Amara is a woman who survived a brutal kidnapping, but lost a year's worth of memories, including who her kidnappers were. As attempts continue to be made on her life, Riordan, the man she fell in love with, but no longer remembers, strives to protect her with his very life. I loved these characters and found Riordan swoon worthy. What follows is an engaging romantic suspense that fans of the genre will enjoy. I'm giving this four stars instead of five because some parts of the flashback elements felt a bit confusing to me. Additionally, while this is the start of a new series, I felt like I had missed out on reading the back story that led the characters to this point. However, this is a wonderful novel and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Wow what did I just read? Lora Leigh has always been a go to author for me and she is on top with her newest novel, Collision Point. This is book 1 in her Brute Force series and I was hooked! I was immediately drawn into the drama from the get go. We start off with some dramatic events for Riordan and Amara. What I thought would last me a few days to read, only became hours. I was always wanting, no needing to know what would happen next. The heat level with Riordan and Amara was so combustible, my screen almost melted! Even though there were holes in their love story, I just knew these two were meant to be together. Collision Point had my mind racing and on the edge. The conclusion of the story had me sad, and then before I knew it all changes! I loved this book and will keep my eyes open for more of this series!
