Synopsis
Honor.
Courage.
Commitment.
Three things Jesse Carter has lost. A former Marine, Jesse used to stand proud of his achievements and live by the code. But when circumstance made him question everything he believed in, those most basic values didn’t feel so important after all.
Sex.
Lies.
Knights Rebels.
Three things Jesse Carter has found. Reborn into a brotherhood not so different from the one he left behind, Jesse finds it all too easy to block out his past and claim the role as the Rebels' fun loving player.
Until he meets Bell.
Shy, awkward, and with troubles of her own, Bell Johnson's no stranger to hiding her pain. When Jesse forces himself into her life, she’s at risk of her defences crumbling.
Does Bell have the strength to survive Jesse and his demons or is she fated to become another casualty in the self-destruction of Jesse Carter?
Review by: ERIN
This series just keeps
getting better and better! This story if full of emotion. The author did a
fantastic job. The writing flows seamlessly and hooks you in from the start. It
is so descriptive and detailed it is like I was there with them, not reading
about them. Bell is a very strong character to have had to deal with what
happened in the past and how it has shaped her family and her own life. Jesse
is a hot, tatted, alpha man who is going to get what he wants. He has a big,
soft heart when it comes to Bell. He wants to see her happy and break out of
her shell. The chemistry between Jesse and Bell is fire starting material. You
may need a fire extinguisher. I would be very happy if this series
continued on forever. This MC really is a family. The women take to each other
like they have known each other forever. The man are all brothers to the core.
They all look out for each other without question. I am looking forward to the
next book!
4.5 Stars
Review by: HEATHER
I have been dying for Jesse's book and Desertion was nothing like I expected it to be. The suspense in this book was there in full force and it had me gripping the edges of my seat.
After Sy's book I had seriously high expectations for Jesse and as much I liked him I felt he was too tame for me. There were portions that were seriously hot and there were other times where I felt like I wanted more. More dirty talk. More depth. Just more from him.
Bell was another kick ass chick! I loved how she was with Jesse and I loved the journey she was on. Trying to find herself after having dealt with a serious tragedy makes her a strong character who though at times showed her weaknesses and I felt that the realness of her was portrayed wonderfully.
The sexy times were pretty hot and the chemistry was undeniable.
There were some parts where I cringed at Jesse's actions though I totally got where they were coming from and how they propelled the story forward.
I really love this series and cannot wait to see what's next for the Knights Rebels!

Excerpt
I wake up to the heat of someone’s palm against my shoulder. Twisting around, my hand moves faster than my brain, and I snatch it off me.
“Jesse, it’s me, Bell,” she rushes out before I can take it any further.
“Fuck.” I release my grip on her arm and sit up, forcing myself back to the here and now.
“Did I hurt you?” I reach for her searching for any sign of a mark left by me.
“It’s fine. You barely touched me.” She holds her arm out letting me inspect it. I check it over one more time before releasing her and relaxing.
“You wanna talk about it?” I study her face, eyes calm, soft mouth. She’s not freaking out.
“Just some shit that visits my dreams sometimes, nothing that needs to touch you,” I reply, shocked I’m not retreating.
“I don’t mind, Jesse,” she pushes, and I almost cave. Almost.
“The last thing I want to do is talk about this shit, Bell.” She doesn’t argue or press, and I’m grateful for it. I don’t think I’d be able to keep my cool if she did.
“Come back to sleep.” She lies back down and I follow her. She doesn’t ask me any more questions, or make me feel like I need to tell her everything.
“That ever happens again, don’t wake me,” I warn. A menacing thought strikes through me picturing what could have happened if I didn’t wake in time. She’s lucky I didn’t hurt her, like the last time a woman touched me while I had a nightmare.
“You don’t always have to be so brave, Jesse.” Her hand moves to my dog tags. I don’t stop her. I’m starting to like the feeling of her hands touching them.
“Never tried to be, Bell. But talking doesn’t help me. Never has.” I think back to the time when I did try and it forced me out of control. Talking about those triggers only amplified my insecurities. When death sits afar, mocking you in the dangerous confines of your surroundings, it fucks with your head; nothing was going to change it.
Besides, my issues weren’t what I had done. They were what I had survived. My conscience wasn’t clear and my honor wasn’t clean.
“Promise me you won’t touch me.” I keep my tone even, controlled.
“I promise.” I take her hand in mine and bring it to my lips. Maybe one day I will let someone in. Let her in.
Today isn’t that day.
But today, I didn’t push her away.
That has to count for something.
