Gage (Trenton Security Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 623 ratings
The forbidden is the sweetest lure.

Trenton Security’s Public Relations go-to was Hayden Gage. He loved his job, and it kept him distracted from the demons haunting his nightmares. His past wasn’t up for discussion, and Hayden wouldn’t allow it to intrude on his future. Yet, that was easier said than done when his best friend came to him desperate for help, and it put him right on the path to his one weakness.

Young didn’t equal lost.

Derrick Thorpe lived in the shadow of his father’s mistakes. Although he was adopted by Linus Trenton, he wanted to prove that he wasn’t like his biological father. When he was asked to go undercover to help at Trenton Security, it put him in close quarters with Gage. Being Gage’s was only an act, but when lines blur, what happens when the operation ends?

    Hayden Gage had lived with horrible violence his whole life, and got away from his father by joining the military. Now, at 50, works as a "bounty hunter" with Trenton Security. He met Derrick, when Linus adopted him and his brother when their racist, homophobic dad died. Derrick is now a deputy, 26, and fiercely proud of it. He has wanted big, rough and tough silver fox, Hayden "Gage" for a long time. Derrick knows what he wants. When Alex's daughter, 16, is missing, all hell breaks loose. The men are on alert, investigating and ready for action. The slave ring is a viable clue and the men go all out to find her. Gage is avoiding Derrick, because he's afraid his father's meanness and rage is hereditary, and will cause him to lose control, and that someday he may hurt Derrick, like his father hurt his Mom, but he wants that "boy" something fierce. Derrick wants Gage as his "Daddy."
    The case sends them on the mission together, undercover, and with a taste of being together, we want to see them honestly react to their deep passion... and they do. But this isn't a mushy romance, because there is a case to solve and time is running out. Lots of action, guns, bad guys, help, and talk of the abuse, plus, they have more than one rescue to accomplish. Everyone on the crew is fighting for justice and moving forward. Not much sweetness for our two guys, ( until close to the end) but the men know more about each other now, and Gage deals with his "cutting" through therapy, while the men adjust to the relationship. The crew wraps up the details, and the extra rescue is a worthy cause.
    Strap in for a tough but worthwhile ride.

    I'm all about the story. I enjoy the characters actions and reactions. Their dialogue and things unsaid. What happened to get them where they are at the start of the story. These two men did not disappoint. As a mother I couldn't help hurt for the boys they were. As an adult i couldn't stop rooting for them and celebrating their end. The only issue i had was the lazy editing especially the missing 1 to 3 letter words. Otherwise the story was page turning worthy. The characters were riveting. The subject matter at times heartbreaking and harsh.

    Derrick loved his extended family. His fathers took him out of an abusive situation and adopted him. All the men of Trenton Security becoming surrogate fathers and brothers. Except Gage, Derrick was in love with him and has wanted him forever it seemed.

    Gage wasn’t willing to accept what the man wanted. Still seeing him as a boy who needed to be protected from the evil and pain in his past. When they are sent on a job together, posing as a Daddy and his boy, Gage knows that he will do anything to protect him. Even give in to what his mind and body demands. Know it’s going to hurt bad when he has to let him go.

    These two damaged men really pulled at my heartstrings. Probably more than any of the authors other characters. The world the author created and populated with amazing men and women, just seems to keep getting better getting better. I really think the books need to be read in order to get the full enjoyment of the Trenton men.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Can I Claim what is MINE Or Walk Away
    Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    After a call from a friend puts Gage smack dab in the sights of his biggest temptation; can he hang on long enough to do what needs to be done and finally claim HIS BOY.

    Derrick has loved Gabe for what seems like forever; but Gage only sees him as the 17 year old that the Trenton Security rescued long ago.

    Can two men, who are shaped by their pasts, find the courage to step into the world of danger, pain and the fear of the unknown seek each other for acceptance, healing and love.......or will the darkness and trying to prove oneself tear them apart.

    This is a story of love that has to be fought for, tended and at times cried over. It is REAL. The characters are flawed yet you will still find yourself cheering for them; crying with them, and even wanting to just THWACK the stubborn men for being their obstinate (yet lovable) selves.

    J M Dabney has done it again. They have broken my heart and put it back together. Gage is a the most stubborn person I have ever had the chance of reading. Even Joker wasn’t this bad!(if you havent read Joker yet you probably should....like now k thanks!) Gage is haunted by his past scared of being his father. Scared of the anger that lingers inside of him. Through out this whole story I wanted to scream like let that boy love you dammit! Derrick was rescued by his dads escaping his absuive father.(Again if you havent read Hunter like seriously? Not repeating myself!) wanting everyone to see that he has laid his ghost to rest...or has he? All he wants is to be seen
    as a man by the one who carries his heart....(and all I wanna do is slap both of them upside the head) I understand these types of characters because they are haunted by ghosts and you can’t physically fight them. Sticks and stones may break bones but they will heal but the words will forever haunt me. Its a motto I have learned. But in the end they putaside their hang ups and let themsevles be loved which is all we can ask for sometimes. Love me...with my demons and JM does an amazing way of portraying that in their books!

    This was Gage's story. Gage is fighting demons and thoughts darker than anyone can imagine. He isjoy afraid that history will repeat itself and does not think he is worthy. But he goes on an assignment with person of his affection and things started to go in a direction he never thought possible.

    ... und Derrick. Ich muss zugeben, ich hätte nicht mit Derrick als Gages Partner gerechnet, aber die Geschichte war toll. Bin schon mehr als gespannt auf den nächsten Teil - Pure. Außerdem würde ich wirklich gerne ein Buch über Horrace & Freddie lesen, vielleicht kommt das ja auch noch.

    A difficult story to read at times (there is no abuse on the pages but it is mentioned in a roundabout way), tragic in places but in others its the bawdy brash humor of the crews we have come to know and love. Gage has been the dark horse, always there in the back ground but never sharing himself. As with all the other stories, he finds his hope, his future and his place. Derrick shows that being young doesn't make you any less able to be there for the other and that waiting for the right person is worth it. There are some light mentions of the other crews but this is very light compared to some of the other books.
