I had no idea this was part of a series, but I still enjoyed it and will now have to go back read the previous ones.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance read, I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

This series is all been good so far. How can you not love navy seals and their need to protect and have principles? Plus all the chemistry in this one was great seeing how the amnesia played out worked well also. Great all around story.

Angsty, gripping and captivating. Brynley Blake has such a way of telling stories, that she continually leaves me in awe and anxious for so much more. Be prepared to be amazed. Five stars for “Resurgent” totally and highly recommend

Absolutely love Liam and his alpha hotness. What a great story that is definitely a page turner. No dull moment in the book. High impact, great destabilize and pivotal storyline. Who doesn’t love a hot alpha seal saving the day. Great Chemestry and character interaction between Charlotte and liam. The amnesia story works which is great because sometimes it can be very tricky for an author to help the reader relate. Haven’t read the first 2 but will definitely give them a go after this one

Book 3 in the Phoenix Rising series, Resurgent, is a great suspenseful romance. Liam and Charlotte are engaging characters and the intriguing storyline had me engrossed from beginning to end. I will be recommending and looking to explore more by this author

Liam may come off as if he doesn't care, and it could be true, or maybe it's just a facade to protect himself. Who knows? Maybe we never will. But the one thing we do is that he will do anything to protect those he cares about, including his little sister's best friend, Charlotte.

Yes, he's wanted her for a while, and they did act on it once, but he knows he should stay away. However, when she's kidnapped, mistaken for his sister, McKenzie, he will stop at nothing to rescue her. That's after he awakens from a coma and remembers what's going on. He may not recall what happened between them, though he's having some very vivid dreams regarding her, but he refuses to let her be in danger.

Charlotte will forever cherish the memory of her time with Liam, and though she'll always wish it could've been more, she'd give anything if he was still alive. But, maybe the reports of his death aren't true after all. Maybe they could have another chance. That is if she survives being kidnapped by the bad guys believing she's McKenzie.

Can Liam and Charlotte work through everything to find themselves again? Will either of them heal from what happened? How will McKenzie react when she finds out about them? Is a HEA possible?

One-click now and follow along as two people are finally able to explore what's been between them.

4.5 stars

Holy hot stuff Batman! This book was delicious! An all alpha Navy SEAL, a kick-ass heroine bent on saving her own life, killer kinky sexy times and a super suspenseful plot!

What does a Navy SEAL do when he wakes up with no memory but a handful of evidence that he's a traitor to his beloved country, then finds out the woman who haunts his dreams has been kidnapped? He goes hunting! Liam's family and his country think he's dead but they also think he's a traitor who sold guns to the most dangerous drug cartel on the planet. Now he has to find a way to save his little sister's best friend, find the missing pieces to his memory and clear his name before the people he loves become collateral damage, or he winds up as dead as the world thinks he is.

This book was fantastic! The hero and heroine had explosive chemistry and excellent banter with intriguing backstories. This amnesiac traipsing across the globe attempting to clear his name was very Jason Bourne-esque, if Jason was also a kinky Navy SEAL! The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat and the sexy times sizzled off the page. Although all books in this series are standalones, I immediately picked up the other two books to catch up on all the fun! Ms. Blake does not disappoint; this is one thrill ride I was happy to be on!

Incredible ending to this fantastic series! I have been waiting for Liam's story and I loved it! With Charlotte the responsible list maker, let's get it done girl home running the business while her two besties are off with their men; Charlotte is kidnapped, a case of mistaken identity. She wakes up in Mexico. Liam is presumed dead and has been living in India with the Dr who as been helping him recover and regain some of his lost memory. He still has a span of months prior to the explosion that are a blank. Those months include a steamy night with Charlotte while the group was on vacation in Mexico. Liam now knows he's a wanted man, accused of dealing in arms with a Mexican drug lord, not delivering and now dead and where's the money for that shipment? Liam is a man of honor, a Navy SEAL despite his "f**k it" motto, things are serious here. He leaves India when he hears of Charlottes kidnapping and rescues her. Holy hot hell those two together. Liam and that flirty, dirty mouth and Charlotte gives as good as she gets. List maker or not. This story is a wild ride as they set about finding the truth, the twists and turns were killer and Brynley holds you captive until you get to the very last page. And then there's Liam!
Wow, what a wild ride and Wow what a great series! All absolutely must reads!

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

What a great wrap up of clues from the first two books as we find out Liam did not die and rescues Charlotte from the cartel. As they try to stay ahead of the bad guys and figure out where the guns were hidden, they grow closer.

Poor Liam believes that he really did sell out his country by selling guns for enough money to pay off his bills.

Lots of secrets are revealed and there are still people that betray Liam and people that he thought corrupt are really the good guys. This book will keep you on your toes trying to figure things out.

Great wrap up and loved the ending with the HEA.

book three in the phoenix risking series, resurgent, finally tells liam's story. labeled a traitor in book one, book two explains that he'd been working undercover with the cia. now in book three, the woman he loves but doesn't fully remember falling in love with is in danger and he needs to figure out this mess he's in before anyone else he loves gets hurt.

from mexico to malaysia, charlotte and liam sort out his coded map and solve the mystery of his actions once and for all. this was a satisfying conclusion to the series.

**resurgent will publish on february 11, 2019. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (brazen) in exchange for my honest review.

A danger and heat-filled adventure…

I have loved every book I have read by this author and these stand-alone reads (yet connected) were just what I hoped for!

Liam was cocky with a great sense of humour which balanced his SEAL persona perfectly. Considering the trouble he and Charlotte found themselves in, he was James Bond-like in his confidence and certainty that it would all work out. Is that attractive? Oh my stars, YES!

Charlotte was a wonderful counter-balance to Liam’s off the cuff approach to the danger they found themselves in. She was all about responsibility yet he was able to coax her to throw caution (and her lists) to the wind…

Together, they had heat, humour and a lot of heart as they worked their way through one dangerous situation after another. I might have been screaming for the hills but these two never lost their cool. Even as things between them - and their enemies - heated up! A few unexpected twisty turns meant a completely satisfying read!

This can be read as a stand-alone but you really want to read Rogue and Renegade so you can savour this ending just I like did….

This one was a quick and exciting one to read. Gives many thrills and chills that being side effect too from the steam that comes forth at times too. Having read one of this author's novels had to see if the charm would still be there and it still was. Charlotte gets your attention right away but also has you feeling a bit miffed with Liam. Even when the answer starts to surface about him I still was a bit but soon am caught up in the drama they experience. Flipping through it quickly to have it prove me wrong I land at the end with it giving me lots.

First, I have to mention that Resurgent by Brynley Blake was kindly provided by publisher via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. So I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Resurgent by Brynley Blake is a third book in the Phoenix Rising series, however, this is the first book that I have read as it can be read as a standalone. Also it was the first book of Brynley Blake that I have read, which turned out to be a success and possibly a beautiful beginning for my love of Navy SEAL romances.

I liked Liam, Charlotte and their love story. The plot was suspenseful and thrilling with dangerous adventure, sweet romance, electric chemistry, great characters and some steamy scenes. This was a fast, enjoyable and very entertaining read.

I recommend it to everyone who enjoys good and steamy romance books, strong heroines, alpha males, and sweet love stories with danger, adventure, hot scenes and HEA.

**I received a copy of Resurgent from Entangled Books and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. The opinions below are mine alone and voluntary.**

Resurgent by Brynley Blake is the third book in her Phoenix Rising series. I've read the first one but skipped Declan and Gemma's story (It's on my TBR though). Resurgent is all about how the bro code of not touching the little sister of your best friend. She is a avid list maker and so organized that she'll have you making a list of things to do. But Resurgent is for Charlotte and Liam, yes, he's alive but has amnesia from his last mission and will provide a wrap up of the series. I highly recommend reading them in order so that you can get the full story in this series.

Charlotte is mistaken for Mackenzie and kidnapped by El Gato who never received the guns that Liam sold to him. But she doesn't know where they are only that both Kenzie and Gemma are researching Liam's bucket list. When Liam shows up to rescue her he doesn't remember their fling or what happened in Pakistan. Can they finish off the list and help him remember before the drug cartel finds them?

Liam wakes up in India with no memory of his final op in Pakistan when he sees that Mackenzie is missing he immediately goes to Mexico to rescue her. When he finds Charlotte he doesn't hesitate to rescue her as well as teach her how to throw her lists away and show her that the life she had was nothing without Liam in it. When a double crossing CIA mole show up Liam begins to put all the missing pieces together and with the help of Walker and Noah take down the mole and drug cartel. But can he convince Charlotte that he's her happy ever after?

When Liam awakens from his coma all he knows is that not only did everyone think he was a traitor, but they thought he was dead as well. When he realizes that Charlotte, his sister’s best friend and his one night stand, has been kidnapped his next mission is to rescue Charlotte and regain his memory.

Charlotte has always been attracted to Liam but when he avoided her after their night together she believed that was all they would ever have as she believes that he has passed away. It will take all her organizational skills and rational thinking to try and get out of this situation with her life.

Once Charlotte got over the shock that Liam was alive and had no memory of his past or them it became a search to find out the truth before the people behind the plot endangered them or their loved one any further. Action, suspense and hot chemistry all lead up to a great ending. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I loved it! It is such a well-written book and has some amazing characters. Charlotte is a control freak who has a ten years plan. Her life is going exactly the way she wants it to. Unlike her two best friends she isn't willing to take risks or fall in love. Men don't have a place in her perfectly planned out existence at least, not until she is ready. But that doesn't mean that she couldn't have a crush on her friend's brother. Liam is every woman's dream come true. The only problem is that just like her he is also not ready for a relationship. Then she is kidnapped and he is the only one who can save her.
I really enjoyed this adventurous read and I'd recommend it to all my friends who enjoy a good romance novel.

In the process he will meet up with Walker and Noah now they have to uncover the mole clear Liam's name and save Charlotte.

This book roars along a ta a rip roaring pace but is a great read nonetheless

I highly recommend

Charlotte and Liam on paper are total opposites. But like magnet to steel they are seriously attracted to each other. After spending one very hot night together they are separated. Later they are back together as danger lurks around every corner. With the heat still sizzling they have to rely on each other to survive the many perils that surround them. The action in the bedroom is off the charts. They get the danger off their back and are able to begin the real adventure of life together. Excellent fast paced and smoking hot reading.

Liam finds himself recovering in India being cared for by a good Samaritan after being rescued from a burning building when a mission went wrong. He is struggling to remember the last few months of his life and can’t understand how he can be implicated in gun running. He feels responsible after reading that his sister’s best friend, Charlotte has been kidnapped and knows that he can’t wait for his memory to return. As Liam desperately tries to follow the trail to redeem himself and rescue Charlotte, time is running short. Exciting and hot. I really enjoyed reading this story it’s an amazing finale to the Phoenix Rising trilogy. I’ve never read any of Brynley Blake’s stories before but I would love to read the others. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is my first book by Brynley and I have to admit I really enjoyed it! It took a little getting used to with regards writing style but the characters and storyline were intriguing and grabbed and held my attention. Who doesn’t love a kinky Navy SEAL😍

Liam and Charlotte enjoy a one night tryst in Mexico while on vacation. They see each other a month later and Liam appears detached and not quite as interested in her as he was in Mexico. Thinking the worst, she leaves without spending time with him and her bestie, who also happens to be his sister. Not long after, Liam dies in an explosion and is named as a traitor! Question is, is he or isn’t he? Danger and action around every turn but storyline engaging and the characters had good explosive chemistry❣️.

Thank you to the publisher, Brynley and Netgalley for my advanced copy for which I leave my honest review. I’ve purchased the first two books so I can catch up with the other two couples, but from my experience this one I read as a standalone which was perfectly fine.
