RED BLOODED

~ a Red, Hot, & Blue Series Paperback

What’s hotter than a man in uniform? Getting him out of his uniform. Meet the red-blooded, true-blue men of Special Task Force Zeta!

TREY
The woman who’s posing as Trey’s wife on a special assignment is exactly the kind of distraction he can’t afford. Carly can’t believe she agreed to a dangerous mission with the one thing she swore never to have in her life again—a military man. It’s not long, though, before her body betrays her, followed closely by her heart.

JACK
Jack never wanted a forced vacation back home, but the new farm hand is rousing his interest. She’s hiding something—and he’s got the skills to find out what. The farm is the perfect place for Niccolina to hide…until Jack shows up. He strikes sparks that put both her body and her heart in danger. Especially when her secrets catch up to her.

JIMMY
Jimmy had one amazing night with the governor’s hot, redheaded daughter. Then an assignment pulled him away to the worst six months of his life. The only reason he’s alive—her memory. It figures that Lia’s one rebellious night ended when the man disappeared. When they meet again, the chemistry is stronger than ever. Tempting her to stop sacrificing happiness for the family dynasty.

Warning: Contains bad men with big…guns, special operatives looking for some action, and sex hot enough to melt your panties off.

News and Novels–reality in romance

Posted on by Author Cat Johnson

Sometimes my life, and my job, is really cool. Like this morning when I was anxiously waiting for the coffee to drip, one slow painful drop at a time, while the small television in my kitchen was tuned into the ABC morning news.

Even in my caffeine deprived state, certain words from the newscaster captured my attention. Pirates/Navy Seals/Rescue. I knew without hearing more that in this day and age if there were pirates involved we were talking about Somalia. And if there was a rescue involving helicopters in that region of the world, that helo would be going to Djibouti. How was I so certain of this before I’d even heard, or read, the entire story? Because through my book research, through the contacts I’ve made in the active military world, I’ve had what is nearly, but not quite, an insider’s view of the Joint Task Force’s Camp Lemonier on the Horn of Africa in Djibouti, just miles from the Somalian border.

I know there are special forces and there is always a squadron of US Marines maintaining heavy helicopters (CH-53s) there.

Crossing the Line by Cat JohnsonI know what the hangers look like, the Cantina where the troops relax with a beer after a hard day, and the racks where they crash for a few hours of sleep at night. I’ve seen what the NCO’s offices look like, as well as the chow hall. I could picture it all as I listened to the news report and that, to me at least, is really cool.

I took all that information years ago to write CROSSING THE LINE, which is my military romance novel set on Camp Lemonier in Djibouti. Sometimes life and fiction cross paths…more often than you’d think.

Three Reviews to Be Thankful For…

Posted on by Author Cat Johnson

I awoke Thanksgiving morning to find not one but THREE new reviews in my inbox from the lovely ladies at Veiled Secrets Reviews, a Browns Plains, Australia-based review site. Gotta love those Aussies!!

Here is just a taste of what they had to say about 3 of my favorite military men, Trey, Jack and Jimmy from my Red, Hot & Blue series of ebooks (soon to be bundled into a single paperback–more news on that later).

To read the full reviews for all three stories, visit Veiled Secrets Reviews.

Trey (Red Hot & Blue, Book 1)“Cat Johnson’s Trey is a rollercoaster of a ride that will thrill you from start to finish.I was swiftly turning page after page eager to discover the outcome and pondering on how each precarious situation would be handled.  The plot was filled with danger, mistrust, stubbornness, misunderstanding, passion and lust.  With a mixture like that, you can’t go wrong! Trey and Carly proved to be the perfect couple and complimented each other very well.  The passion shared between them was erotically hot and will leave your screaming for more.  With Trey as the beginning of Ms. Johnson’s Special Task Force Zeta team, I can’t wait to discover more” More


“Just as its predecessor, Jack, book two in Cat Johnson’s Red, Hot & Blue series, was
filled with thrilling suspense and a super-hot romance.  While Jack can be enjoyed as a standalone, I would strongly suggest reading book one in this series for importantly historical purposes; yet, if you choose not then you will not feel like entering in the middle of the story.  But fans that have experienced Jack’s interlude in the previous novella are in for a fantastic treat because I guarantee that you will fall more deeply in love with him during his featured story.  With an endlessly, sizzling hot flirtation and suspenseful undertone Jack proved to be an incredible read that kept me greatly intrigued until the very end.” More

Jimmy“Ever since Jimmy had been mentioned in the first book and made his appearance in the second book, I had eagerly been waiting to read his featured story.  I am glad to say that author Cat Johnson did not disappoint.  Jimmy had went through a very horrendous experience that could have scarred him for life but with the love from a very strong-willed
woman and the everlasting support from his team members, he was able to overcome his demons…The passion showcased between Jimmy and Lia was sizzling hot and highly intense from the moment they met.  This is one story not to be missed and can be read as a standalone.” More

JIMMY

Red, Hot & Blue, Book 3

Social butterfly and a soldier in the Special Forces—a match made in…bed.

Special Forces gave Jimmy Gordon the undercover skills of a chameleon, but nothing prepared him for Amelia Monroe-Carrington, the governor’s hot, redheaded daughter. She thought she was seducing a banquet waiter, and he let her.

His next assignment pulled him from her bed and into the worst six months of his life. Images of Lia were what kept him alive imprisoned in Kosovo, and even now he’s home and recovered, she’s still in his head.

For her father’s political career, Lia has always done the appropriate thing, right down to dating a senator’s son. Her one rebellious act, an incredible night with a totally inappropriate man, ended when he disappeared. And then never called.

When they unexpectedly meet again, the pull between them is stronger than ever, tempting Lia to stop sacrificing her own happiness for the family dynasty.

This book has been previously published and has been revised and expanded from its original release.

Warning: Contains incredible one-night-stand sex hot enough to withstand time, distance, and some really nasty terrorist torture.

 

Review for Jack “the perfect love potion”

Posted on by Author Cat Johnson

JACK (Red, Hot & Blue, Book 2)

“Going home was never so good.  Jack shows us that when one door closes then a window can open up for romance…  Jack took a little humor, a little spice and a little danger, stirred it up and found the perfect love potion.”
