Oh happy day!!!,  March 21, 2017

Trigger took me back to my happy place ... way back when I very first stumbled upon Scarlett Dawn with her King Hall ~ Forever Evermore Series. MEMORIES!!!!! 

If you've read that series then you know how addictively intoxicating her shifters are. Especially the alphas!

If you are new to her work then you should prepare yourself for action packed, drama filled, attitude spewin', hotness that may or may not leave you hanging' on a mega cliff until the next release! She creates worlds that engulf the senses & refuse to fit inside the "normal" box. There will always be a character (or two) who would rather die than submit to the rules. BTW...these worlds may not always feel "realistic"...which is exactly why I love them. I am instantly transported to wherever her vivid mind takes us, & details are never lacking. As with every book I have read of hers, I want MORE more MORE & by the time I realize I am on the last page it is much too late!

Trigger hit every one of these reasons on the head for me. 

From the rebellious Poppy who just wants to prove herself capable of making her own decisions to her overbearing father & his soldiers who just want to do what's "best" for her & their women to the king of the shifters & his peeps who nobody ever knew existed. Even with an undeniable attraction she chose to leave & make her own way in the world. Until fate stepped in to reveal it's true plan.

And that's when it got REALLY good!

But, for realz, who wouldn't hope to find some ridiculously HAWT immortal to fall for & save the world/rebuild it with if we humans had destroyed our planet/population anyway?

Trigger by Jill Meengs

Publication Date: January 27, 2015

Jordan Shaw knows the only way to stop the man hunting her is to kill him. She also knows the other men who came after her are dead, some of their blood is on her hands, and she wouldn’t have survived this long without the help of the intriguing and secretive Chase Hudson. Even though she isn’t sure she can trust Chase, she believes she needs him to discover the truth. Two days before, life was pretty good as she backpacked around Europe with her best friend. Now, everything has changed and she may not even live through the night. What started as a summer trip of self-discovery has become a dangerous journey across three countries as Jordan is forced into a world few know exist and even fewer survive. A clandestine international organization that will let nothing stand in their way has put a price on her head. Despite all the uncertainty, there are two things that she is absolutely sure of; she has one chance to out-maneuver a world class killer, and she has to make that move right now.

Character Interview

Chase Hudson interview by Jordan Shaw

Where do you dream of traveling to and why? I would love to go to a remote island in Indonesia where I can stay in a hut, relax on the beach, and go fishing and scuba diving. Indonesia is one of the most incredible places on earth and to be able to take you there and show you what a magical place it is. 

What was the scariest moment of your life? When I thought Vlad had captured or killed you at the Cathedral in Sevilla. I was doing everything I could to get to you as fast as I could, but I was worried I wouldn’t get there in time and that I would lose you. 

 As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a Navy Seal or a fighter pilot. I loved GI Joe’s as a kid and became obsessed with being in the military. After my parents were killed I didn’t feel that something so structured would be the best fit for me. Plus, I was way too angry at the world and everyone in it to join an organization where I always had to do what someone told me. 

What is your favorite meal? Steak. I love a nice, juicy, prime cut of meat that is cooked medium rare at most. Do you play any sports? You name it, I played it, American football, Soccer, baseball, track, basketball. 

 What do you do to unwind and relax? Scuba diving, fishing, anytime I am doing something that involves the ocean is when I am the most relaxed. 

Morning Person? Or Night Person? How do you know? Doesn’t matter, both I suppose. If I need to be up early or late I am happy to do either. Whatever I need to do to get the job done that is what I do. 

What would we find under your bed? You wouldn’t find anything, I don’t hide things under my bed. I have a safe for important things I want hidden from prying eyes and I also do not believe in clutter so if I ever have something that is useless enough to be stored under a bed I usually get rid of it. 

 What makes you happy? In the past, not much. Now? Being with you Jordan. 

What one word best describes you? Determined. 

 Do you have a favorite quote, quip, or saying? What is it? Never back down. If you let someone try to tell you what to do or if you let a situation control you then you will fail. It may not be a big failure and it may not matter all the time, but at some point it will matter and you will be sorry that you gave up. You need to go big or go home and where I am from, home is not usually an option. 

 Is there a piece of advice that you have received that has really stuck with you? If so, what was it? Never quit. If you want something bad enough, if you work hard enough, and if you keep pushing toward your goal, you will attain it. Nothing feels better than succeeding when something is extremely difficult and you had to give it your all in order to get it done.
