About this ebook

 ~ Five brothers, one family tragedy, untold heartache. ~

A stray bullet ended my Army career, forcing me to follow in my father’s prison guard footsteps.

My sister’s disappearance ten years ago annihilated my family, forcing each of us to find a way to cope.

But I’ve survived. Adapted.

At least until Genevieve Stone showed up, digging into the truth in the name of journalism and finding her way deep under my skin. I’m determined to do whatever it takes to find my sister, but when the case is blown wide open by the sexy reporter, I’m left with the ultimate question . . . can I trust her?

I’m a soldier, heart and soul.

I don’t do love.

War and death and pain are my church.

My name is Asher Creed.

I am the Executioner.

 

***Reader note: This is the first of a 6-part emotional family saga series. Each story is 100% male first-person point-of-view, and while each full-length novel is guaranteed to have a complete HEA romance, their family mystery remains unsolved until the end of the series.

 ***Due to profanity, mild violence and very strong sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18. Also, please note the title. The hero is, in fact, an executioner on death row. While there is no intent to make any social or political statements, please do not read if this will be offensive to you.

 Catch the rest of the Creed boys (and girl) very, very soon!

Ratings and reviews

Shauna Allen has been a favorite of mine since I first read Inked by an Angel! She writes the most believable characters, that you can't help becoming invested in their lives. This is the start of the Family Creed series. Asher Creed (who was introduced in Awakening Aubrey) is a death row executioner that meets his match in true crime reporter Genevieve Stone. The Creed families youngest and only daughter disappeared over ten years ago without a trace, until Genevieve's story about the Creeds is published. Now some new information surfaces which may or may not lead them to Claire's whereabouts. This is the first in a six part series.

This is the first book in Shauna Allen's new series and it has me so intrigued. The family tragedy just tugs at my heart and it leaves me wanting the next book because I want to know what happened. I'm holding out hope as a reader and for the Creed family. This book like the ones to follow are from the hero's point of view. I always say it's such an intriguing way to view a romance book. I was sucked right in and it has me feeling like I'm part of the family. It has a ton of emotion coming from everywhere. Asher has so much going on inside of him and then Genevieve comes into his life. It may be fate working in a mysterious way because Asher just might have found the one woman who can change his bachelor heart. My heart goes out to Genevieve because she too had some heartbreaking events happen to her. Seeing her interact with the Creed family did my heart good. I'm eagerly waiting for the next book in the series.

This story was everything I thought it would be and more!! Two lost souls finding each other to begin the path of healing together. This story is a deep, emotionally charged and heart wrenching romance with hope and redemption as the outcome. This book will definitely give you a book hangover but I recommend you don't want to pass it over!! This is a 10 star romance no doubt!
