Grind (The Alpha Escort Series Book 3)

This was a great finale to the trilogy. I’d love to read about the triplets, so I’ll have to search Sybil’s books for them. Definitely recommend this trilogy.

Of the three Alpha Escort series books, I found Grind to be the most intense and captivating. What's not to l9ve? A stoic problem solver with his ever faithful K9 companion, a Russian mobster's wife on the run and a white hot romance make Grind a book that's hard to put down. Dane Marek is a loner, sometimes escort and a fixer (think assassin.) Irina Feorov is on the run from her husband and temporarily staying at Dane's house. Walking in and finding her in a somewhat compromising position tells him everything he needs to know about her. Learning her story has him setting out to gain her freedom. He'll need more than his talents and capabilities to be succesful though. Enter Angel Luna and his team plus Neil Christensen. It's an all out team effort despite Dane's stubborn determination to go go it alone. Giving Irina choices is the bottom line. Fortunately, she chooses him.

I was floored by Thrust (in a good way).But...I have to say that I haven't liked Rough and Grind as much. It was the little things, really. For the purpose of this review, I'll stick to Grind.I like Irina more... But, honestly, it's been a struggle. I have the hardest time reconciling the Irina depicted in Grind with the one in Thrust. She wasn't very "likeable" in Thrust and that taint didn't come off, really.And, underground tunnels on Key Biscayne??? As a south Florida native, it's impossible not to say, "what the hell are you smoking?".With that said, this author can deliver when it comes to ovary - melting alphas. (4 stars because of Dane).

Grind is an exquisite and scrumptious read. The reader is taken on an incredible roller coaster ride filled with action and suspense. Grind has steamy and passionate chemistry and scenes between Dane and Irina. Yum! It features a power and dominate alpha male named Dane. Grind is the 3rd book in the Thrust Series. Each book can be read as a standalone. Dane is a male escort and hitman. He performs both jobs phenomenally and will exceptional skill. 'Wink!' Dane lives a fairly lonely existence with only his dog Hunter by his side. Dane likes his privacy and his space. One night Dane comes home to find that he has a house guest. He knows from the start that she needs help. Dane is loyal to his friends & military buddies. He is very protective and possessive of Irina. Dane is also a dirty talking, sexy as hell alpha male. Dane has reasons why he is male escort and rules that he always follows. Irina is an abused and beaten woman. Her husband is a wealthy and powerful Russian Mobster. He controls Irina in every way. She is a submissive, but her husband mistreated her and her trust. His control had gone on for so long that Irina has become cold and shut down to protect herself. As she spends time with Dane, Irina finds her inner strength and determination. Irina will do what she thinks that she has to protect those that she cares about. Irina and Dane learn about love, trust and what is important to them. Will they find love and a happily ever after? Grind is an outstanding book that will have the reading falling in love with Dane and Irina. I know that I sure did. I loved the chemistry between them and all the white hot scenes. I am now a huge fan of Sybil Bartel. I can't get enough of a dirty talking alpha male, who will do anything for his woman. The reader will not be disappointed with Grind. I highly recommend this book.Overall Story - 4 1/2 StarsChemistry - 5 StarsAlpha Male - YesHEA - YesPOV - Alternating POVCliffhanger - NoRecommend to Others - Hell Yes*I volunteered for the arc of this book. This is my unbiased review. I also purchased this book.

Dane and Irina were great together. This whole story kept me reading thru the night. Can't wait for the next one. Thank you for sharing your talent.

This book had quite an exciting and action packed storyline; would never guess something like this for Dane. I really liked the addition of Hunter. The series should be made audiobooks! Will eventual read remaining spin-off books in series.

I can't say I liked it as much as the first book but it was action packed and had lots of sex. I couldn't really see Dane and Irina's chemistry though but the lengths he went to to keep her safe were swoon worthy. I'll still continue with the series.

I loved Dane’s story! This character had appeared in many of Sybil’s books which made me very curious about him. Irina was a character that first appeared in Alex’s story. When I realized that she was going to be Dane’s romantic interest I wasn’t sure that I could connect with her based on what I read about her in the previous book. I was so wrong! Irina ended up being one of my favorite heroines ever! I don’t want to spoil the plot for anyone, so all I’m going to say is that there is so much more going on behind the scenes than was offered in her previous appearance in Alex’s story. This story is action packed with tons of romance. You’ll love the storyline and will fall in love with the characters.

I’d have to say Sybil has a way of capturing my attention right away, which is exactly what you want out of a book. You want to be captivated, intrigued, pulled into the book and not wanting to put it down! Grind is all that and more… Irina is a strong woman that was mislead at a young age by her mother and got her caught up in a life she didn’t deserve. Dane is an ex-marine and a guy that likes to live a solo life until he sees Irina and then he becomes completely captivated by her. His intense feelings mixed with her defence mechanisms for protecting her heart makes for a sexy romantic story of two broken souls coming together in perfect unity, they couldn’t be more perfect for each other, they are truly destined! And as a dog lover I particularly love that Hunter falls in love with Irina just as hard if not harder than his owner. This book is filled with drama, violence, lots of sex and love.

Sybil's characters draw you in & you want to learn more about what made them who they are. I love how characters from other books in the series fit together & how their paths cross in each story. Can't wait for Andre next!

Dane è un ex Marine, che per lavoro accetta di diventare sia un killer a pagamento che un escort. Usa le donne come valvola di sfogo e con loro ci va a letto solo una volta. Tornando a casa dopo un lavoro fuori città si ritrova in casa Irina, donna russa ex cliente di Vega. Scopre che è la moglie in fuga di Victor, don della mafia russa impotente. Dopo tanto tempo riprova emozioni che pensava di non poter più sentire e decide di salvare Irina dal marito tiranno. Romanzo narrato tramite i punti di vista dei due protagonisti. Scritto veramente bene, con dialoghi e scene incalzanti.

Finally we get Dane's story! I was really excited to read this and I was not disappointed. This begins from the time Alex (Thrust) drops one of his former clients (Irina) off at Dane's property.Poor Irina is not what she seems, not the spoiled rich girl Alex thought she was, she's trying to escape an abusive husband. The problem is he's a very dangerous man and won't give Irina up easily. The question becomes can Dane and Irina find enough trust in each other to find freedom from their current lives?I will give a warning though, this story is not for the faint of heart. There are some very confronting issues to deal with, especially Irina's story. This is very different from the two previous books but well worth the read. I know I couldn't put it down!

Who wouldn't want Dane !Another super sexy book from Sybil. Not read a bad one yet x looking forward to more x
