Tiana Fritzgerald is a single mother and is only worried about protecting her daughter, she knows she will not let anyone close to her or them. Yet somehow Aidan has and now as a threat has come to harm them he will do everything to protect both and for whatever reason, she feels like he will as long as he is with them, what happens though if he needs to leave for whatever reason. A good story with action and some love, and good characters also.

Kaylea Cross never disappoints. Tiana Fitzgerald had sworn off relationships in order to protect herself and her daughter, Ella. She didn't have a great track record when it came to the opposite sex. She was done getting hurt. But when the sexy as sin Scotsman, Aiden MacIntyre managed to sneak past her walls. She knew she was a goner.

Aiden MacIntyre, a former Royal Marine was captivated by the beautiful and independent redhead Tiana Fitzgerald from the moment he laid eyes on her. She got under his skin but she kept pushing him away whenever he tried to get closer to her.

Considering how much I've loved the previous books, I was kind of disappointed that I didn't love this, but I enjoyed it overall.

romantic suspense with a HEA ending. Characters were well fleshed out with a military hero and a single parent heroine. I would include it in my personal library.

I love Kaylea Cross but I have had a hard time with this series. It felt like it was written quickly and without the care that her other series have shown. But this book...this book has made up for the flaws in some of the others.

Tiana and Aidan are a good match for other. He’s quite a character. When Tiana and her daughter are in danger, he’s there. The story is full of drama, action, and danger; it’s everything I would expect from a Kaylea across book.

4*

Much overdue but finally finished ROCKY GROUND, the final book in Kaylea Cross’s contemporary-with-a-twist-of-RS Crimson Point series. I’ve loved Mac since the second he set foot on the page in one of the earlier Crimson Point books, so I was stoked to finally get his story— saving the best for last! I’ve also really enjoyed Tiana as a character, so seeing her finally get her well-deserved HEA was truly heartwarming. Mac is seriously one of those be still, my heart heroes that you want to take home to meet your parents: all honour, rugged strength, and unflappable British calm enveloping a gooey heart of gold. And he’s a Scot, to boot (och, the accent!). While his chemistry with Tiana is off the charts and sets the pages on fire from the outset, it’s his softer, budding relationship with Ella that really steals the show (that ending! *swoon*). Though I typically prefer Ms. Cross’s more high-octane, actioned-packed military suspense books, ROCKY GROUND was a great way to wrap up the various Crimson Point story arcs, and a thoroughly enjoyable conclusion to the series.

A great Romantic Suspense with some hotness thrown in! Tiana is a single mom not interested in any kind of relationship. Aidan is a former Marine that is determined to protect Tiana and show her what a great guy she is. The fourth book in this series and it doesn’t disappoint! I love Kaylea Cross and her writing style!


The Netgalley for a copy of this book for my honest review!

In the fourth book which is also final of the series Aidan falls for single mom Trisha. A story that is action packed and will make you turn pages because of suspense and romance in the story.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

Rocky Ground is a excellent written story with fantastic characters I easily connected with. I started reading and it took me one chapter to be hooked on the beautiful story. Rocky Ground contins just the right amount of drama, danger, violence, love and HEA that I love in a great story.

This was a really great read and the first for me from this author but definitely not the last. This book was action packed and kept you reading to find out what happened next. I definitely recommend you read this book and you will not be disappointed.

Tiana is a single mom and has no time for relationships. Aiden is a former Royal Marine and when he first sees Tiana he is drawn to her. Tiana is determined to push Aiden away because she is wary of her judgement when it comes to men. However Aiden won't let her push him away especially when it looks like she might be in trouble from someone in her past. Can Aiden show her that he is different from the men she has known? Will Tiana give Aiden a chance at her heart?

This is a great story that will have you on the edge of your seat. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

Rocky Ground is another well-written story by Ms. Cross. Full of intrigue and romance. I liked the way the plot flowed and the dialogue.. Good story.

Tiana is not looking for romance however Aidan MacIntyre works at convincing her to a different opinion. Trust and growing feelings must combat danger with these two. Another keeper in the Crimson Point series.

Ebook from Netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

I thought that this was an amazing book that I am glad that I got the chance to not only review it but to read it as well. I was a great page turner that I could not put down. I highly recommend that anybody that loves a good read takes the time to sit down and read it themselves.

ARC received for review

Tears...another series that's over (at least I think it is, maybe Ms. Cross will introduced some new peeps we don't know about yet).

Loved how patient Aidan was in winning Tiana over to his side. Evil, nasty bad guy to get rid of along the way to them falling in love, plus natural disaster or was it two. I also enjoyed that the three previous couples got their own chapter, and we see how well they are doing.

Tiana has experienced some difficult situations in a short amount of time and she feels has put Ella in danger. Now she doesn't trust her instincts and she has become overprotective of Ella. That's why she won't let herself believe that Aidan doesn't have ulterior motives for befriending Ella even though he's friends with and works for her friend and neighbor Beckett.

Aidan is determined to break through the barriers Tiana has erected between. With the help of Tiana's aunt, he starts to make progress and they are able to spend time together with her guard down. When someone threatens Tiana and Ella, Aidan is ready to protect them and prove his worth.

A good story overall, with a hot sexy Scotsman Aidan, who falls for single mother Tiana. I did like the characters, especially young 8 year old Ella, but reading about pedophiles and custody fights turned me off a bit. Still, the story had its moments, and would still recommend.

Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) provided by the Author and Publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an fair and honest review.

This whole series has been more romance than suspense. This romance was a wonderful thing to see build. The heroine has had such bad luck in her life and the last blow has left her really prickly about the men around her, especially a super sexy Scott. The suspense was all in waiting to see how the whole thing played out and Kaylea Cross did not disappoint in the ending action scenes. I liked this one the best of the series. Hold on for an emotional ride.

Former Royal Marine, Aidan MacIntyre, "Mac", is in Crimson Point to put distance between himself and a failed relationship in Edinburgh, Scotland. For months he had been more than interested in Tiana Fitzgerald, but she has always given him the cold shoulder, a very, very cold shoulder. With two weeks left before he leaves for a six month contract, he hasn't given up hope of warming up the lovely, red-headed Tiana. He has decided that nothing, not even threats from Tiana's past, is going to keep them apart.

Tiana Fitzgerald is a single mother to a beautiful, bright year old, Ella. After several disastrous relationships, the last of which put Ella in danger, she has sworn off men. She just can't trust her instincts where men are concerned. As bad as things are, they can always get worse. The sexy Scot just will not take a hint and it takes an earthquake to finally get to her. After saving her life and laying one scorching kiss on her, Tiana is rethinking her "no men" policy.
4 1/2-Stars

I have loved this entire series and was sad that this is the final book in this series

Once again we are at Crimson Point and this time we get Aiden the sexy alpha Royal Marine and Tiana mum of Ella These are all characters we have met in the previous three stories but now we get to finally get their story. Aiden has stepped into the position of site foreman for the company that Beckett has set up after the death of Carter Boyd and he is instantly attracted to Beckett and Sierras neighbour Tiana and her daughter Ella Ella has finally given up on her quest to get a dog and is willing to "share ownership" with Beckett and poor Walter is about to become a surrogate mum to a litter of orphaned kittens. Tiana hasn't had an easy time as single mother first she was dating a drunk and then a pedophile tried to get to Ella through her but Beckett out an end to that (see book 1 Fractured Honor) and there is no way she is letting another man into the life of her daughter or herself. Aiden is drawn to her but his visa is about to run out and he has signed up to do a security job that will take him away for months Do they have any chance together, Then you have to throw in an act of nature a returning dad and a vengeful ex he will have to keep mother and daughter safe before they can even think of a life together.
