Carol Rupprecht,
I don't think I will ever get tired of the female characters that Elizabeth Knight creates。 Dax is probably one of my favorites out of all of them and I love her take no prisoners way of looking and acting upon things, especially when it comes to those she cares about。 You see that it's a common theme throughout the series, first starting with her brother, continuing to Harper, and now to her men that she has adjusted to having in her life now that she is willing to take a chance on love。 Her gu I don't think I will ever get tired of the female characters that Elizabeth Knight creates。 Dax is probably one of my favorites out of all of them and I love her take no prisoners way of looking and acting upon things, especially when it comes to those she cares about。 You see that it's a common theme throughout the series, first starting with her brother, continuing to Harper, and now to her men that she has adjusted to having in her life now that she is willing to take a chance on love。 Her guys have brought out new characteristics in her, or maybe just the ones she had to block out as she had to fight the hard battles to build and control the Hidden Empire。 The fact that although she is strong-willed and fierce, she is still able to eventually open up with those that she keeps close。 In her line of work she has to be constantly watching her back because people can switch sides easily; that's pretty clear with the moles they are on the search for。 But with her men she is able to feel safe and show any amount of vulnerability without it being used against her。 There's no judgement from them and there never will be。 I'm sure her enemies will see her relationships with her guys as a weakness and try to take advantage of that, however, her ability to rely on them makes her even more lethal than if she were to be fighting this war alone。 If you harm what is hers--and she has definitely claimed these guys as hers--you won't live to tell the tale。 I think the funniest thing about this book was that they made so many precise and well thought out plans, but instead Dax did some of her best work when she had to work on the fly。 She is very observant and quick on her feet to work with her surroundings to get the best results。 I had a lot of fun seeing what she would come up with, especially when she made last minute decisions that she knew the guys wouldn't like。 They might not be the safest options, but they sure have some amazing outcomes when things work out to her benefit。 I can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve next as she and her group take the next step in taking down Marco piece by piece。 。。。more
Jessica Gilbert,
I'm not sure what I was expecting from this installation of the Hidden Empire series but I was pleasantly surprised by this book。 Definitely don't read this one without having read the first two books in the series。 This one is the continuation of the story centered around Dax, a no-holds very little shit's given woman who happens to lead her own empire(By this book, you should know this)。Dax is without a doubt one of my favorite of all time female characters。 There's not pretentious or over the I'm not sure what I was expecting from this installation of the Hidden Empire series but I was pleasantly surprised by this book。 Definitely don't read this one without having read the first two books in the series。 This one is the continuation of the story centered around Dax, a no-holds very little shit's given woman who happens to lead her own empire(By this book, you should know this)。Dax is without a doubt one of my favorite of all time female characters。 There's not pretentious or over the top about her she's a very take her as she comes person and I love that about her。 When she's cornered, she works her way out of it。 When she's feeling overwhelmed she finds comfort in those around her to get her grounded。 This book had her growing and expanding to an even more engaging character。 She found a real rhythm with the men around her and was able to really glow。 Now with all of that saying, there's no way we can ignore the men in her life。 They did not disappoint in the least bit。 Not every male character was given the opportunity to shine in the bedroom with Dax but they all had their own ways to shine elsewhere。 They all took their relationships from somewhat purely physical to loving and protective in ways that I can really get behind。 They held her accountable for the things that she did that they weren't 100% fans for but did it in a way that showed how deeply their feelings really resided。 Would definitely recommend starting this series, if you haven't you are missing out on growly over protective men with hearts of gold。 You'll miss out on a bad ass woman who can hold her own against her harem of men。 But don't get it twisted they own her just as much as she owns them。Do read this。 Do not second guess yourself, you'll be upset that you missed out on it。I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily。 。。。more
Katie,

Elizabeth Knight continues to amaze me with how awesome this series is。 There’s so much action, suspense, and mystery。 I utterly love Dax and her brand of crazy。 Her men back her up nicely and the heat level blazes in this book。 I can’t wait for the next book in the series as well as BFF Harper’s。
Kellie Patnella,
Awesome!I FREAKING LOVE Dax and this series! Seriously need a bestie just like her if I’m ever in trouble。 The story just keeps getting better and better with each book。 Definitely recommend giving this a read。

Siri,
I have been really anticipated for this book and i was not let down。 Where to start this books has been a ride, drama, humor, action, craziness, killing and more spice, yaass ! Dax is probably one of my fave heroines she is taking no crap kinda girl。 She is a badass boss bitch, smart as fuck cuz she is planing ahead and calculating all her actions and is pulling the strings which i love。 She holds the power and is not throwing herself into danger without a plan or 3。 The guys are great, my faves I have been really anticipated for this book and i was not let down。 Where to start this books has been a ride, drama, humor, action, craziness, killing and more spice, yaass !

But i can´t wait to read the next book in this series! 。。。more
Krys DeCantillon,
Dax and the gang are back at it。 This picks up where Three Tricks left off。 We got high octane energy that does not quick, steamy sexy times, and die hard action literally。 The ending is a hoot。 Poor Harper being at her wits end。 Can’t wait for More Tricks。

Nora,
Another amazing book by Elizabeth and this one is my favorite in the series so far。 I loved that the leading lady is strong and knows her way。 A lot happens as we try to uncover the mole and dealing with aftermath that Dax is Two Tricks。 I really was enthralled the entire time and submerged in an amazing story and while I love Dax as the strong lady I am so excited for the next book in this series already which is Harper。 The story overall is good and the writing I loved。 Keep it coming!

Recovering from the previous attacks, Dax and her men are working on getting back to normal while plotting how to take down Marco。 Elizabeth Knight is continuing her streak of giving us fantastic books in this series。 I loved Dax and her men's relationships, and how easily they work together。 We are never short on steam in this book, and each scene is better than the last。The plot keeps getting more interesting as Dax shows who Two Tricks really is and how they will fight back when they need to。 Recovering from the previous attacks, Dax and her men are working on getting back to normal while plotting how to take down Marco。 Elizabeth Knight is continuing her streak of giving us fantastic books in this series。 I loved Dax and her men's relationships, and how easily they work together。 We are never short on steam in this book, and each scene is better than the last。The plot keeps getting more interesting as Dax shows who Two Tricks really is and how they will fight back when they need to。 Everything is fast paced, and you can watch the character development as you go through the story, which I absolutely loved。 。。。more

Rachel,
Elizabeth has another hit on her hands with Four Tricks。 The third book in the Hidden Empire series was mind-blowingly fantastic with an exciting storyline and one of the strongest female leads I've ever read。Dax is a badass, a strong female lead who doesn't bend to conformity, she's handling her business like the boss she is without apologizing for who she is。 I knew this from the previous books but it's even more apparent in Four Tricks。 Not only is Dax piecing together her enemy's moves, whil Elizabeth has another hit on her hands with Four Tricks。 The third book in the Hidden Empire series was mind-blowingly fantastic with an exciting storyline and one of the strongest female leads I've ever read。Dax is a badass, a strong female lead who doesn't bend to conformity, she's handling her business like the boss she is without apologizing for who she is。 I knew this from the previous books but it's even more apparent in Four Tricks。 Not only is Dax piecing together her enemy's moves, while making plans and calling the shots。 Not to mention Dax gets really bloody in this one, the violence she inflicts is off the charts。 Her enemies will learn they don't come for what's her's be it the organization she has built from the ground up or the people she has come to care about。 All seven of Dax's guys have gotten under her skin。 They are caring for her, following her lead, letting her be herself for the most part and it's tearing down those emotional walls Dax has built。 Don't get me wrong, Dax still has trouble expressing emotion but she's working on herself which strengthens the bonds she has with each of the guys。 Cam the ex who is reestablishing himself with Dax, trying to find his place in the group, and there's Wes, the best friend who is always there is a strong favorite of mine。 Then there are the guys of the Phantom Saints, I like each of them for many different reasons and they have most definitely proven themselves but it's Void out of all of them that's stolen my heart。 The big guy understands Dax in a way no one else does and he's been calling Dax his soulmate since the beginning, what's not to love。Things with Dax is all action all the time with bits of crazy strategic planning。 Dax has a lot on her plate trying to figure out who the moles are, dealing with the aftermath of revealing that she's Two Tricks, dealing with the Mad Dogs MC and their underhanded schemes, and finally looking out for moves the De Leon cartel are making against her organization。 To say things were exciting is an understatement。The Hidden Empire is expanding。 While I can't wait to see where Dax's story goes next, I am excited that Dax's best friend book。 Harper's, story is up next in the series。 Bubbly Harper with three crazy assassins on a crazy Russian adventure, I can't wait for the laughs。 。。。more

Karissa Kirk,
Whew, that was intense! If I didn’t think Dax was a baddie already, this book would’ve definitely sealed the deal。 She kicked butt in this book! And the guys…ugh I love them so much! I need a Void and Cognac of my own。 Maybe an Eagle too! I love seeing their feelings for her get stronger and see their possessive side。 Things are just going to get even more intense than this book was as they take on another fight to end everything。 I cannot wait to read the next book! Fantastic writing!
Sue Harbers,
Dax is back and ready to take down everyone opposing her!! She is ready to go in Four Tricks, she has her men and not enough anger to level an entire city。 There’s a lot of figure out in this book, traitors need to be flushed out and Dax and her guys need to carefully plan how to wreck havoc while causing the maximum amount of revenge possible。 I can’t wait to see how Dax moves forward in the next book!
Catherine Leigh,
