This was a great
beginning to what promises to be a very enjoyable series. Victory is a strong
character and I loved how very intelligent and capable she is. She was put in a
bad situation, but she decided to use it as a chance to help those who were being
experimented on instead of laying down in misery over being basically kidnapped
by murderers. There was also a wonderful romantic aspect with Tristan, who was
also a great character. I’m glad that we will get to see more of Victory and
the other Winters sisters in the follow ups.
Whenever Victory
found herself in an enclosed space or in a crowd of people, she would often get
the feeling of being watched. Over the years she realized, it was merely her
ability to sense people’s emotions. Coupled with her sharper-than-average
hearing and it could make anyone neurotic. Had she not taught herself years ago
how to filter out the bombardment of noise and emotion which now encompassed
her, she would have fallen to her knees from the deluge of sensations.
Victory felt a
whisper of electricity run the length of her spine. She paused. She didn’t hear
a specific conversation, and yet she could feel a conversation; this was
new—what kind of sensation was this? Slowing her pace, she glanced around, and
surveyed her surroundings. People seemed to be going about their business,
grooming dogs or talking with friends or studying the competition. For one
brief instant, she saw the back of a massively built man with jet-black hair;
her attention had been drawn to him. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared out
the door.
“Geez, now I’m really getting jumpy,” she muttered to herself.

Will Payton’s
pursuit of truth be her last?
Payton Winters
is thrust into the position of CEO of The Winters Corporation after the sudden
death of her parents. But the challenge of her new role is nothing compared to
coping with her evolving enhanced abilities. Payton can ground those who
possess psychic powers—some of whom have taken refuge at the Winters
Corporation. Now she has unwillingly become a mental anchor for a man she wants
no part of, Collin McBain. While on a routine mission, Collin is drugged,
tortured, and injected with wolf DNA. Believed dead, he is secretly assigned to
the Winters Campus; his only road back to life is through Payton.
Faced with her
new roles, Payton realizes her life is based on half-truths. Now she’s
compelled to pursue her mother’s research to understand why she and her two
sisters were genetically altered before birth. Payton’s pursuit embroils her in
a world of secrets, lies, kidnapping, and murder, but her future depends on
deciphering the lies of the past.
✯✯✯✯✯ Excellent Romantic, Paranormal Suspense!!

In this second
book of the Winters Sisters Series I couldn't read fast enough from wanting to
know what was going to happen next! Like the first book, it is an edge of your
seat suspense with an amazing mix of characters and an extremely intelligent
and diabolical villain. These stories will grab your attention and won't let go
until you are finished. If you enjoy action packed suspense, a little romance
and a bit of the paranormal you are sure to love this series. Be aware that
there are some explicit sexual encounters included in these books. I sincerely
hope that there is a third book in the future!
The last thing
the sisters needed was for him to spiral into a fit of rage in the middle of
their important event, ruining the gala and giving Payton one more reason to
despise him. Why did it matter what she thought? From what he could see, Payton
Winters was just one more spoiled rich girl, totally focused on business and
making a profit, and he was their newest asset.
Try as he might,
Collin found it more and more difficult to stay in control while being immersed
in people and their thoughts. Their emotions rolled off them and saturated his
mind. At this rate, he would have to burrow himself into some deep dark hole or
go insane.
He felt more and
more agitated, as though his own skin suffocated him. The blackness of rage
began to consume him, and he knew he would have to escape soon before he
totally lost his grip on sanity and howled like a wolf.
Willow's
Discovery
1st edition: October 6, 2015
Willow’s next
discovery could get her killed.
Willow Winters
has been safely ensconced in London managing the international division of the
Winters Corporation. But the vicious Kaleidoscope Group is relentless in its
pursuit of the Winters sisters and their scientific breakthroughs. They’ve
planted a mole in the company ranks, making Willow’s paranormal abilities
crucial in the search for the traitor. Unearthing this spy will expose Willow
as a threat and put her squarely in the sights of the murderous Kaleidoscope
Group.
Wyatt Farraday
is a military liaison to the Winters Corporation. Consumed with keeping Victory
and Payton Winters alive, he’s had no life of his own. Now the third triplet
has returned home and his job just got exponentially harder. Willow outdoes her
sisters in the hardheaded department. She’s independent and can take care of
herself and she doesn’t need Wyatt to watch out for her. But Wyatt’s determined
to watch her in every way he can.

My FAVORITE by
Joanne Jaytanie so far. I love all of her books, but Willows and Wyatt's story
had me captivated. You know it's a good story when you yell, cry and laugh out
loud at the characters. I can't wait to go deeper into the Winter Sisters lives!
“What do mean
you read company email?”
“Sorry, I forgot
how much happened when you were in England. I guess I figured Payton told you.
Jack and your brilliant cyber department created a way for him and me to
monitor company email. Strictly for security purposes, I assure you.”
“You’ve read
every email I’ve sent to Payton and Victory?”
Now she lost
every drop of color from her face. He should relish making her squirm; hell,
she did it to him all the time. Only he felt terrible. What the hell is going
on? he thought.
“They do have a
way of making you chase your tail, don’t they bro?” Tristan popped into his
head, his booming chuckle resonating though his mind.
“Beat it. I’ve
got enough on my plate, trying to keep the peace with Willow. It’s like dancing
through a field of land mines.” Wyatt shot back at his brother. Tristan laughed
again and faded away.
“No, no. We
can’t read your personal emails between the three of you. The way the program’s
set up, the system flags employee names and certain words or phrases. Those
emails come to our computers.”
“Thank the—” She
stopped in mid-sentence.
“You were
saying?” Now it was his turn to smirk at her, making her color rise again.

Kenzie is the fourth book in the Winters Sisters Series. This is a gripping
romantic suspense featuring Kenzie and Logan. When Logan is assigned to protect
Kenzie, he has no idea he will be attracted to her. Before meeting Logan,
Kenzie thinks she has everything she wants--her ranch and horses--and is
surprised when she starts to fall for him. The twists and turns of the plot are
typical of Jaytanie's stories. She keeps the reader turning the page! This book
can be read and enjoyed as a standalone book, but for maximum enjoyment read
Books 1-3.
He heard a soft
creak and whipped around, gun aimed dead ahead. He held his body rigid and
listened. A pop rang out, followed by a knocking sound. He ran out of the room
and down the hall. As he got close to the doorway of the last room he was hit
with a blast of frigid air.
In one smooth,
swift motion he entered the room, scanning it wall-to-wall. The window stood
wide open, the shade bouncing off the window. He stepped to one side as he
approached the open window. Logan saw the boot print in the snow on the
exterior window sill. He inhaled and stepped squarely in front of the open
window. No one was there and there were no boot prints on the roof of the first
floor. He looked out over the blanket of fresh snow and saw no signs of boot
prints anywhere. Then he saw something at the far edge of the illuminated
ground. He jumped on to the roof and then down to the ground. He ran to find
out what he’d seen. The intruder had landed on all fours on the snowy ground
and disappeared into the night.
“What the hell?”
he said as he walked in a circle, making sure he hadn’t missed any boot prints
between there and the house.
