Told from first person (Jo Swift) and third person (Red Cooper) RAVAGED WITH YOU follows in the aftermath of the apparent ‘suicide’ of Red Cooper’s business partner, and Josephine Swift’s husband Mel, a suicide that is quickly deemed a murder.

The relationship between Jo and Red is a friends to lovers, friends who have loved one another from afar but Red’s time in Special Forces changed the man who would one day find himself guardian and protector of the woman he love.

RAVAGED WITH YOU is a quick read; a fast paced story of power and control, grief and loss, murder and espionage, relationships and love. The premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive and spicy; the characters are energetic, dynamic and lost.

This is the seventh book in the Stark Security Series. Jo and Red's story is action packed, and suspenseful, filled with mystery, secrets, and twists and turns. Red is a handsome and protective former Special Forces soldier. Jo is beautiful and strong. They share a sizzling chemistry. This is a great friends to lovers, and an entertaining romantic suspense, and a great addition to the series. The supporting characters are amazing. I loved to see again the characters from the first books in the series, and to see again the very handsome Damien. I enjoyed it. If you like Romantic Suspense, this Series is definitely for you!
