Katherine Lawrence is a woman who has set up her whole life to make sure that she doesn’t officially exist anywhere. She has a packed suitcase by her door, she changes her hair color every two weeks, she never shares anything from her past. When Kat’s forced to spill her secrets to a group of ex-Rangers and an ex-sniper, it’s Jim who’s tasked with keeping her safe… and keeping her away from the bus station.
Suspicious, surly and secretive in his own right, Jim Alden has the strongest urge to strangle Kat for her refusal to trust him – and he also longs to kiss her until her knees give out from under her. When Kat’s past is revealed, Jim fights like hell to convince this tough, exasperating, hurt woman that he can protect her, and that she can stop running for the first time in years.
But sometimes the past doesn’t stay there; sometimes the past doesn’t stop looking for you. When Kat’s past threatens her present – and the lives of her friends – she’s ready to run straight in to a future full of fear and loneliness. Can she stay this time, though? Can she be safe and cherished? And can Jim convince her to stay with him… in his life and in his bed?
Enemy From The Past Unseen Enemy Book 4 edition by Marysol James Romance eBooks
This is the fourth book in the Unseen Enemy series by the very clever Marysol James. This story focuses on Kat and Jim, while still following along the story lines of the couples from the first three books. I have grown to adore this author and the way she is able to weave such richly developed and incredibly powerful stories in so few pages. Her books, while short on page numbers, read like much longer novels solely due to this authors savvy storytelling abilities. I'm fully invested in these characters and very much looking forward to future installments of this captivating series."She was a riddle wrapped in a mystery dipped in a bottle of hair dye."
Katherine "Kat" Lawrence is an enigma. While she has managed to cultivate a close knit group of friends in Emma, Olivia and Jenny, as well as Jim, Dean, Dallas and Chris, they only know about Kat what she shows them. She is loyal, she is kind, she is a fierce friend. Beyond that, they know nothing of her life, her past or the enormous fear that shrouds her very existence. She is guarded, she is closed off, she is a closed book when it comes to personal details or information on her past. The men have picked up on this and know that there is much more to Kat than meets the eye, Dallas knows a bit more as he has investigated Kat when he was working on Olivia's stalker case. What he found was a woman with no past, a woman who didn't really exist. Her recent behavior sparks a fire in Jim to find out what she is hiding or who she is hiding from.
"What's going on with you, baby?"
Kat is a woman on the run, but none of her friends know this. She doesn't stay anywhere very long, and she obsessively changes her appearance, with her career as a hairdresser providing perfect cover for the constant color and style changes. She obsessively guards her personal details and information about her past. She has gotten swept up in her friendship with Jenny, Olivia and Emma, and she has stayed in Denver much longer than she ever had planned. She has grown to genuinely care for these women, allowing herself the solace of their friendship, and she has stayed this long to see them through their troubles. Jim sees Kat as a puzzle, he's not sure exactly what to make of her, but she raises every suspicious bone in his body. He just knows something is going on with her, but he has no idea what. Kat drops off the grid for a few days, alarming her friends and Jim when they can't find her, they can't reach her by phone, and she isn't returning their calls. Jim gets a middle of the night call from the owner of a notoriously dangerous local bar asking him to come and get Kat, who has been on a drunken binge in his bar for the last four days. Jim immediately goes to her, brings her home, and waits for her to sleep it off. He has no intentions of leaving until she answers his questions, and she will answer all of them.
"I'm asking you to please trust me. Can you do that?"
Kat finally emerges from her drunken stupor to find that she is in her apartment, and Jim is there refusing to leave until she talks to him. He is adamant and unwavering in his insistence that she confide in him. He calls the guys over, and Kat agrees, hesitantly, to tell them everything, but she does so with conditions, and one of those conditions is something that Jim struggles with accepting. She finally opens up to the guys and tells them why she's running and the type of guy she's running from. She admits that she was raped and beaten repeatedly by a powerful man who is considered a hero in her hometown. This man has stalked her, threatened her, and terrified her. He controls her with threats of violence against her friends and family to keep her in line. He also tells her, to her horror, that she is his and they were meant to be together. Kat discovers she is pregnant and gathers the courage to finally report the attacks. A female administrative worker in the police department intercepts her, and this woman and her boyfriend, who are not surprised by Kat's story, help her to formulate an escape plan. He bides his time and manages to get her alone nearly beating her to death and causing her to miscarry. While she is hospitalized, he learns about the baby and blames her for killing his child promising to kill her. She checks herself out of the hospital and immediately leaves town with the help of the woman from the police station. This woman continues to be her eyes and ears, and they maintain discreet contact over the years, which is how Kat knows that he is still hunting for her. Her fear is tangible, and the guys are concerned that Kat is so frightened that they won't be able to convince her to stay.
"We have to make her feel safe somehow."
Jim is enraged after hearing the details of what Kat has been through and is still dealing with. The man who has been tormenting and terrorizing her for years is a former HS football star, a retired Marine and currently a sheriff. He is, on the surface, the trifecta of a responsible, respectable persona. He's military trained, he's got a badge and he's sadistically obsessed with finding her. Her terror at being found by this man is a living, breathing part of her. She is not only afraid for herself, she's terrified that if he found her, he could easily find and try to use Emma, Olivia or Jenny against her or that one of the guys would be hurt by him in the process of protecting her. This is a real possibility, it's absolutely something he would do, and he'd enjoy doing it. She cannot live with this possibility, and she tries to make the guys see it from her perspective. The guys consider Kat to be one of them and, Jim especially, want her to stay so they can protect her. Kat is determined to move on, though, if they cannot convince her of their ability to protect her, and she'll do whatever she needs to do to protect her friends.
"You're not in this alone, baby. Not anymore."
Dallas proposes the beginnings of a plan, and Jim promises to stay with her until they know what this guy is up. Dallas can investigate him without his knowledge if she gives him the guy's name and the name of her hometown. She finally breaks down and tells Dallas she's from Foxburg Falls, Oregon and his name is Michael Ferguson. She's exhausted and worried, but for the first time in years, Kat also feels relieved, not so alone and safe. Jim felt rage and was quite surprised by the depth of his anger. Jim is furious that Ferguson is ex-military and using his training, along with his badge, to abuse, intimidate and terrify Kat. He believes it is their responsibility to stop this guy.
"...she deserves more and better, but it's something you can do. So ... do it."
Hearing about Ferguson triggers Jim's personal demons about his own self worth. He truly believes that he's nothing special and that his only purpose is to follow direction from others. He cannot help but compare himself to his friends. After all, Dallas was a crack sniper and is now a business owner; Dean was their LT and he's also business owner as well as Jim's boss; and while Chris was a foot soldier like Jim, he is special in that people are naturally drawn to him, able to trust in and talk to him. Jim doesn't believe he has any of these qualities. The other couples' stories continue in this book with Emma getting incredible news regarding her health crisis, Olivia and Dallas' wedding plans, and Jenny and Chris' new love.
"You have no right to ask this of them."
Kat is feeling very guilty, and despite his belief that he's not the right guy to be there for her, she makes it clear to Jim that she wants him. It's Jim that she feels safest with, and he's genuinely surprised by her admission. Kat and Jim are attracted to each other, but neither is willing to act on it. Jim thinks she is exasperating, and Kat thinks he is infuriating but each is dreaming and fantasizing about the other. Since Jim is staying with Kat, they do take this opportunity to really talk and get to know each other better. Dallas has launched his investigation into Ferguson and has learned that he's closer to finding Kat than she ever imagined. Kat's knee jerk reaction is to run, right away. Dallas has a plan, though, and she agrees to hear him out.
"We've got him."
Dallas sends two of his team members, Hunter "Sully" Sullivan and Cordelia, his receptionist, to Kat's hometown to pose as a married couple looking to relocate. They're to follow Ferguson and keep an eye him. They hit the jackpot, though, one night while following him and learn what he's really been doing. With the help of the woman from the police station, who kept an eye on Ferguson and kept in touch with Kat over the years, they collected evidence of his illegal activities. Ferguson was arrested, and Kat was finally free to live her life - and to stay in Denver.
"She's just given me everything."
Kat finally admits to Jim what she's feeling, and he does as well. Months of longing and attraction explode into a beautiful baptism of sorts for Kat, as she finally tells Jim her real name. Jim stays with her, and they begin to build their relationship. Jim eventually confides in Kat and shares his pain with her. Not even the guys knew what Jim was holding on to from Afghanistan. What happened there is at the very crux of Jim's issues. Kat comforts Jim and shares with him why she has so much faith and trust in him, and he listens and absorbs it all. It's a very poignant moment for Jim. Through Kat's eyes, Jim starts to see a different version of himself.
"If I don't want to run anymore, then I have to stand still...I want to stand with you."
Cordelia gets news that Ferguson jumped bail. They fear that he's headed toward Denver, and Kat is ready to bolt. She knows that Jim will never let her go, so she takes matters into her own hands so that he won't be able to stop her. She gets as far as her own sidewalk, and then changes her mind. Dallas sends a team back out to Oregon to get information and work with the local police. They find where Ferguson is hiding. Working with the local police, they've got him trapped and surrounded. The police are in position, poised to make their move. For Kat, it's almost over; she's finally safe.
The more I read this author's work, the more impressed I become. I love this series and these characters, and I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment, Sully's story. Jim and Kat were the most complicated characters of this group, and I think the author did a fabulous job peeling back their layers and getting them to the point of loving and trusting each other. This author has such an amazing gift in the way she is able to build a world and tell a story. It is such a pleasure to read her work. This was another stellar addition to a fantastic series! Highly recommend!!

Enemy From The Past Unseen Enemy Book 4 edition by Marysol James Romance eBooks Reviews
fast pace and riveting. I couldn't put it down!
another great read by Marysol James! Loved it!!
I couldn't stop reading this series. They are all just as great as the last. I'm stuck know waiting for the next book in the series. Strong Muscle I'm sure will not disappoint me.
I liked hearing more about the other couples than I did hearing about Kat. But I was glad to finally know what the mystery was all about.
Love these books. Intertwined within all the series so you see all couples growing in their relationships. Very emotional plots and intense characters. The couples have outside problems they deal with but little angst between them. The H are truly heroes that deal with what feels like real life issues in a real way. Glad I gave this series a try. I will definitely continue reading this author's books.
Kat (Beth) was the mysterious one of the four friends she had a past and you knew it was bad but she kept it close to her heart. She was a mystery that was as secretive as her hair was talkative. She has horrible trustissues and she has good reason for it but I am so glad to know that she and Jim have a story together and that as witht he other three books friends stick together and take out the evil trash.
Just like with book two, I'm going to give this book 4 stars mainly because of its length, but also because I would have liked more of the book to have been about Kat, her past and her romance with Jim.
I really did enjoy hearing how everyone else was doing from books 1-3; to me, this is what makes this series such a joy to read (along with the hot sex of course). But too much attention was on the other couples and not enough of Kat and Jim.
I don't want to spoil the story for anyone but if you've read the previous books, you will know already a bit about Kat. What I loved about the way James told Kat's story and presented her interaction with Jim was that it was very different to Jenny's story, or Liv's story, even though there are some similarities. She is a different personality and that was presented well.
But please, Ms. James, can you make book 5 a lot longer! )
