All luck runs out eventually.

Violet Collingwood thought the windowless room where her kidnappers have held her for the past three days was the worst possible place she could be.

She’d been so very wrong. She's now arrived in hell.

Aiden Teague left covert ops behind with the Special Forces, but he's doing one last mission as a favor to a friend. He's undercover with the worst kind of scum to help stop the sale of classified documents.

But there's another kind of sale going on—and as soon as Aiden sees her terrified green eyes, he knows this mission just got a hell of a lot more complicated.

His codename has always been Shamrock. The lucky one.

He's going to need every bit of it to get them out alive.

Reviewed in Australia on 22 October 2019
I enjoyed this story. Aiden is gorgeous, really compassionate and desperate to mend all the world’s ills. Violet is an interesting character, caught up in a dreadful situation that causes her to re-evaluate her priorities and reshape her life. The secondary characters are also great: familiar ones and new ones alike. Kendrick really intrigues me. Another worthwhile addition to the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book from a favourite author
Reviewed in Australia on 11 December 2018
I absolutely love this series and I think Shamrock has been my favourite so far

Aiden Teague never leaves anyone behind and though he is working undercover he is willing to blow the case to rescue the young woman he has just seen, when things don't go according to plan he blames himself for leaving her behind. Violet Collingwood has no idea why she was kidnapped but she is determined to survive and for some reason she trusts the man she just met when he fails in his promise to rescue her it just about breaks her. Now Aiden has another chance to rescue her and this time he will succeed but Violet will still be in danger It will take his fellow teammates and her brother to keep her safe but the one who makes her feel safest will always be Aiden Will they finally get a chance at a HEA you will need to read to see.

I was given a copy of this book but this is a true and honest review

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible romantic suspense
Reviewed in Australia on 28 December 2018
Fascinating characters, heartwarming romance, and chilling suspense make for one incredible read!

Aiden, like all the Linear Tactical guys, is loyal, protective and extremely capable. So when he sees Violet in a strip club where he is undercover as an arms dealer, he realizes she is terrified and not there willingly. He's determined to get her out but doesn't get there in time. He can't let it go. With the Linear Tactical team and Violet's Navy SEAL brother he vows to rescue her.

I loved Aiden's "never leave anyone behind" attitude. He was totally alpha but with a softer side when it came to Violet, which made him absolutely adorable. I was impressed with Violet. How she pulled through such a terrifying ordeal was amazing. And deciding to live her life the way she wanted and not what others wanted was inspiring.

This suspense was difficult to handle in the beginning but be assured it has an HEA. Another great read by Janie Crouch! In her typical fashion, she wove a story with an excellent pace. I recommend Shamrock to romantic suspense fans.

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest review. 4.5 stars.

Reviewed in Australia on 4 December 2018
The third book in the linear tactical series certainly didn't let me down. Each book in the series had been very different. This book was about Aiden and Violet. Violet had been taken against her will and When Aiden jus undercover he discovers her plight. This novel is a drama filled fast paced story that never lets up from beginning to end. I honestly couldn't put it down. Loved it!!

This was an ARC copy and here is my honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just when you think it can't get any better, along comes Shamrock.
Reviewed in Australia on 4 December 2018
Just when you think this series can't get any better, along comes Shamrock. Aiden Teague is my favourite of the Linear Tactical heroes so far - he's loyal, protective and caring. An ex-Green Beret who speaks six languages fluently, he's undercover as an arms dealer, trying to catch a traitor, when he notices something different about one of the scantily clad women at the club he's in. She looks terrified, and when he spends some time alone with her, he realises she's being held against her will.

He's determined to get her out, even if it means blowing his cover, but something happens and he's not able to get to her in time, which weighs heavily on him. When she's identified as the younger sister of an ex-Navy SEAL he's worked with before, Aiden knows he has to save Violet Collingwood because things are not going to get better for her. He and his team are able to extract her safely, but they still don't know who kidnapped her and why.

After her release, Violet decides it's time she lives her life the way she wants to. She's a trained chemical engineer, working for her family's technology company, but her passion is baking. So she decides to open her own bakery in Oak Creek, and pursue a relationship with Aiden. She makes the first move, which I loved, and it doesn't take long for them to end up in bed together.

Violet sets up her bakery and hires Jordan Reiss, whom we've met in the first two books, as her assistant. Aiden trains her in self defence, and Violet grows stronger in every way possible. She's a wonderful heroine, one who refuses to wallow in the bad that happened to her, instead choosing to take control of her life and go after what she wants.

Aiden starts to wonder if perhaps their age difference of eleven years is too big a gap, and thinks that perhaps Violet would be better off healing on her own, so he ends the relationship, breaking her heart. But she's determined to make him see she can still grow as a person with him by her side, and after Violet and Jordan are injured in an incident, Aiden realises he was wrong to walk away.

When the identity of not only Violet's kidnapper but the mysterious Mr Stellman is finally revealed, it's such a clever plot twist that you won't have seen it coming. This book has enough action and mystery to keep those who love romantic suspense happy, and a hot, steamy romance to make your little romantic heart sing - and if you prefer your romances less steamy, there's a version for you, too!

If this book is any indication of how book four is going to be, we're in for a real treat. Another five star read from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars And the story continues...to build excitement
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2021

Another excellent addition to the series.

It really did take a while to build this story up to where Violet and Aiden actually started engaging outside of the initial horrors she endured, but it was well worth it and made their eventual coming together so much better.

I loved how violet was the more mature of the two of them, despite the age difference. I also loved how when Aiden came to the right conclusion he was so certain of his path.

An exciting read and concludes the underlying story from Finn and Charlie’s book nicely whilst opening up another chapter for Gabe to come into the book.

Looking forward to the next story and seeing Jordan get her HEA, her storyline in these books so far has been so emotional.

This was quite an intense book. Aiden was undercover when he first saw Violet. She'd been kidknapped and was in a lot of trouble. He tried to get her out but was unable to, then, but next time. There is so much going on in this book, it's hard to put down at all. Did manage to fit other things in, barely, but been on this book all day & only just finished it. It's 1am, I'm tired but very happy, Ive finished and the end was as good as the beginning and middle. 6 more to go, bliss
