Rage is book 2 in the Shadow Security series and follows Elliott Rageis as he makes known to Luna how he feels for her.
About Rage
Rage is former military, having served with Grim, and a former cage fighter. He retired 5 years ago from cage fighting and went to work for Chains in Vegas as private security. When Courtney bought Chains, she and Daniil opened Shadow Security, and brought Grim, Rage and Chaos with them.
Luna was bullied as a teenager and young adult. She has a condition called PMOS, formerly known as PCOS, which causes weight gain, as well as other reproductive system issues. She has been overweight for so many years that it is second nature to her. When she was accepted into MIT, she felt overwhelmed so she spent her time studying and working out at the gym. Even though she could not lose weight, she felt stronger which made her feel better. Three years ago an incident occurred that forced her into an untoward position.
Because of her condition, Luna is ready to try to have a baby. She has been dating a man, Roger, for a few months and she is ready to take the relationship to the next level. But his shock when she asks him is palpable. When she receives an emergency call from Daniil, a comedy of errors occurs and she shows up at the office a little worse for wear.
When Luna walks into the Shadow Security office she is limping, and looks like she has been in a fight. When Rage sees her, he is ready to kill someone.
Rage carries Luna to the locker room so she can get a change of clothes, take a shower and wrap her ankle. But he is not having any of it. He decides he is her personal carriage, and he carries her to the shower, from the shower to the bench and then he wraps her ankle for her. After which, he carries her to her office. But throughout all of this machismo, he is actually relishing having her in his arms. He has been in love with her since the first time he saw her.
While Luna is sitting on the bench, Rage asks her if she wants to talk about it. She does not, but he tells her he is there for her if she wants to talk about. She is so frustrated with everything that happened that night that she finally tells him everything that happened. Then he proceeds to tell her no one except him is putting a baby in her. She thinks he is joking, but is he?
Rage is determined to show Luna he is serious about her, including becoming a parent with her. They talk about it several times. They go on dates. Next thing we know they are trying to make a baby. But Luna is on edge. Something is going on with her. And Rage will find out what it is.
Luna finally tells him about her past before she agrees to have a baby with Rage. She knows her history could come back to bite her and she does not want to put him at risk. But he is not having it. He is a bodyguard for goodness sake.
But when packages start showing up at Luna’s apartment, he chalks it up to her ex. The first one, she thought the same thing. But the second one, she started questioning it. By the third, she knew something was not right, but Rage keeps minimizing it. She feels like she is not being heard.
When Rage agrees to do a charity cage fight, Luna gets involved to help as well. She works on the auction items and displays. But she overhears a few conversations that bother her. So off she goes to her computer to do some homework. What she finds is not horrible, but it makes her question if this charity event is a scam. When she tells Rage about it, he does not seem bothered by it, so she lets it go.
On the day of the fight she overhears another partial conversation that raises her hackles. So when Jonas, from Limaj, calls her with confirmation of something she suspected, she gives him access to her computer and strict instructions on what she was looking for. When he confirms it, she knows she has been found. She is on her way to talk to Daniil when she is waylaid and her past has come roaring back to take its vengeance.
Impressions
I have mixed feelings about Rage. I love him and how protective he is of Luna, but not listening to her concerns about the packages and his mentor really bothers me. Yes he is gearing up for the big charity fight, but he just blew it off. You do not do that if you love someone.
I loved seeing Jonas from the Royal Protectors in this story. I miss their books, and shenanigans, so it was good to see him doing something for Daniil. Especially after everything that happened the last time Daniil and Courtney were in Limaj.
I truly hope Luna gets her baby. With her condition, it will not be easy, but she deserves it. She will be such a great mom.

Kat’s a typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max). When she’s not writing, she’s either scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible. She hopes to retire there one day so she can spend her days writing books on the beach.
As you can guess from her series, the Las Vegas Sidewinders, Kat loves hockey. She is also a freelance hockey writer, covering her favorite team, the Florida Panthers, and any other teams that have an interesting story. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…
