Grim is book 1 in the new Shadow Security series and follows private bodyguard and security, Landon Grimshaw (Grim), as he fights to save the woman he has fallen in love with.
About Grim
Grim grew up with an abusive and neglectful father. He has a younger sister, Courtney, who is married to Prince Daniil of Limaj and has a son, Micah. He spent years in special forces and has worked for Chains doing private security in the past. He has never had a long term relationship since he does not stay in one place for long. He believes in doing what is right, regardless of the cost.
Allora was born to a motorcycle club Vice President, who is now the President. She is his only child and she is an MC Princess. When she was a teenager, an incident happened at the club and she walked away from it. Even now, she wants nothing to do with their lifestyle or their business. Her mom passed away a few years ago and she and her father have grown apart.
Grim and Allora meet under extreme circumstances. She is in bad shape when he sees her. His gut tells him that things are not good and he needs to find out what is going on. But since he is expected at Shadow Security, he calls the office to let them know what is going on. Enter best friend, Rage, to help Grim get to the bottom of things.
Protecting Allora becomes a full time job for Grim and Shadow Security. Her father agrees and is paying for their services, but others in the hierarchy of the club are not happy with letting someone else protect one of theirs.
As time passes and Allora heals, she finds herself attracted to Grim. But knowing what she has gone through, and the fact she is a client, he is reluctant to act on her requests, even though he is definitely attracted to her. But willpower can only last so long.
As days roll by, and information is scarce, Allora tells Shadow Security she needs to return to work. Things are set up so she can do a job in Vegas. But they are hesitant to allow her to go to New York for the next job for security reasons. She is not happy. She is going stir crazy being shut in. She is a social person and she loves her job.
But when Grim and Allora face their worst fears, all bets are off. Grim tells Allora to fight while he is outnumbered and outmaneuvered. This is an inside job, but who is behind it? Who would want to do this to Allora? Who has anything to gain for this? And the biggest question of all, WHY?
Impressions
This book kicks off the series, and boy does it do it with a bang.
Grim and Allora will have to face some tough conversations in this book. Ones that every couple should address, but usually sweep under the rug. But they manage to talk things through. For someone who has never had a relationship, Grim is pretty darn good at the communication aspect of one.
Allora has very strong feelings about the club life. From things that she said, to Pete and her mother’s friend at the cookout, she is not the kind of woman that would tolerate the behavior at the club itself. Growing up her family did not live at the clubhouse, but in their own home. I could see where that would make a difference. She also knows they do good deeds and help others in need, but she knows there is illegal dealings and that is what she has a problem with. I would thing most women would have a problem. I know I would.
I loved meeting Metal and Layla in this book and I am hoping to see more of them. They seem to be the exception to the club lifestyle and I am hoping that they keep in touch with Allora and Grim. Layla needs a friend and I think Allora can be that person for her.
Next up is Rage’s book and I cannot wait for it. The wait is going to be endless, but this series appears as if it will be my favorite of Kat Mizera’s.

About Kat Mizera
USA Today Bestselling author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.
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…
