Saber's Vida - L. Ann Marie - Review




Former Delta turned FBI Tactical Commander Rafael Saber doesn’t know how to be anything but the cliché military player with women just waiting for him to show up. New is never easy, but Michelle is, for about 3 days.

When Saber is put in his place by one woman, another finds his charm and panty-dropping smile worth the risk. Assistant DA, Cassidy knows she’s worth more than a Delta Groupie title and makes Saber work for it. 

Jump into the world of adventure and laugh out loud situations that keep Rafael and Cassidy’s life interesting. The Providence FBI Ops Field Office is waiting for you. 











4.5 Stars

I've read nearly every title that L. Ann Marie has written, some more than once, so I was quite eager to read the first title in The Providence Series Saber's Vida.  

L. Ann Marie crafts a world with endearing, colorful, dynamic and captivating characters, Rafael Saber and Cassidy Warner being no exception.  Within the story line is a whole cast of characters that captivated my attention, some being incredibly memorable in the case of the Golden Girls, with satirical banter that had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion.

  Saber's Vida is a fast paced, romantic suspense, full of action, danger, intrigue and twists and turns that kept me completely captivated and enthralled. 

Rafael Saber has a reputation as a womanizer, but when it comes to his work ethic the former special forces Delta commander is incredibly loyal and honorable.  This sexy alpha is used to his commands being followed. 

Cassidy Werner is an Assistant District Attorney.  She is intelligent, strong, kind and has a strong work ethic and believes in justice and the process of the legal system. 

The chemistry between Cassidy and Rafael is intense and undeniable.  With love scenes that are full of heat, steam, passion, sensuality and passion.  I thoroughly enjoyed the banter that is witty, fun, playful, clever and flirtatious.  

I found this title to be quite different to the previous books that L. Ann Marie has written, and in some ways I actually found it easier to read and follow than her MC and Protectors series.  The prose is more fluent, and has more contractions and expression that I've found to be lacking in her effect of portraying heroes with traits of an individual with autism. 

I will be eagerly anticipating further titles in this series. 







L. Ann Marie began her literary career with The Baxters and is now working on her fourth series, The Protectors. While her books feature ex-SEALs and Badass Bikers, she is also focused on the strong women these men need to help right the world’s wrongs and keep their small part of the world safe. These women are extraordinary, strong, and determined to make a difference.

L. Ann has created an amazing Club, tackled the taboo subjects, and made it easy to imagine living in a world where your protection comes from ex-SEALs and Bikers.

Yes, they kill people. Yes, they shoot at the bad guys’ feet to cause them pain. Yes, they throw tampons at each other regularly. That being said, these men do these things while stopping human trafficking, bringing their Club into legitimate businesses, fighting gangs to keep drugs away from their town and children, all while keeping women sheltered safely and trying to stop domestic abuse.

These are the kind of men that don’t leave a Brother behind. They don’t treat women as possessions and they don’t cheat. Respect takes on an honorable meaning. Women and kids are cherished and everyone is looked out for and everyone is equal.

With so many readers commenting about rereading the series over and over, L. Ann Marie feels like she’s told her characters’ stories in a way that would make them proud.

Every book will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you angry at the injustices of the world. However, every book will also give you hope that we may just get it right yet.
