Arrested Heart: Arrested Heart: Dispatch 247 Kindle Edition
Life has a way of throwing curve balls at every turn. I'm Eli "Mox" Moxen and I've finally figured out what I want in life.
I’m fearless. In life, in my career, and in love. I'll face it all with strength and determination.
Amber
Just when I think I'm getting ahead, something comes along to knock me on my butt. I'm Amber Young, single mom, jaded in love, and in danger.
I refuse to fail. For my daughter and for myself, I refuse to fail at life, in my career, and in love.
For first responders like Mox, there is rarely a second chance for anything...except maybe love. This is Mox's chance to show Amber he's a man who also refuses to fail...especially when it comes to her heart.

About the author

S.M. Donaldson is a born and raised Southern girl. She grew up in a small rural town on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the kind of place where everyone knows your business before you do, especially when your Daddy is a cop and your Mom works for the school system. She married one of her best friends at the age of 20 and has two sons. She is a proud military wife, has always had a soft spot for a good story, and is known to have a potty mouth. At the age of 31, she decided there was no time like the present to attempt her first book. Sam’s Choice was born and she hasn’t stopped since. If you are looking for a good, steamy, Southern set romance with true Southern dialect, she’s your girl.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2017I received a copy of Arrested Heart in return for my honest review.
I am such a huge S.M. Donaldson fan. She is truly a very talented writer. I have enjoyed watching her work grow and progress over the last 2 years (since I discovered her). Every time she releases a book, or new series I think to myself "This is it! She has truly out done herself and no future books will be able to compare." Then she releases the next and I am blown away all over again. This book is no exception to the rule.
Arrested Heart is book #1 in a new series, that is a spin off of the Marco's MMA Boys series. You do see SEVEREAL familiar characters in this book, but can with out a doubt read and enjoy it with out previously reading the MMA series. I would however recommend that if you enjoy this book to go back and read the MMA series as it is exceptional! If you are a fan of the MMA series and have read them all, then don't miss out and this gem!
In this book you meet (or get a deeper insight if you read the MMA series) into a SWAT team cop's personal life. His past is rocky with no true foundation. Once becoming an adult and meeting family he never knew he starts to find himself. Unfortunately he can never find a woman worth settling down with like most of his friends and family. He is not sure if it's b/c of his past, if he has not met the one, or b/c he can't get a hot little red head from high school out of his head. The female character also has strong ties with the MMA series, but once again someone you never got to know. She it taken by this "guy" that seems to have all the same friends as her, looks familiar, but their paths never really cross paths. Although he is HOTT, she is a single mom and chasing strange but attractive men around is not in her schedule.
This is NOT just a simple sexy love story. This book has it all. Not only do you get to see a deeper insight into characters you already know and love (if you have read the MMA series) but you get a very suspenseful story about a crime wave. The crime wave seems pretty straight forward at first, but the twists and turns seem to pick up by the moment. Don't worry, she does not hand you the conclusion on a silver platter. Although I would not call this book a "cliff hanger" since the love story grows to a point that you feel satisfied, but I will say that she defiantly sets up the "crime" plot to boom in future books.
I am very excited about this series. I can't wait to learn more about these characters, learn more about characters I already know and love, meet new and interesting characters, and figure where in the heck the crime part is heading! I am VERY pleased with this book.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read, loves love, and is drawn to danger. I also highly recommend any and all book in the Marco's MMA Series by S.M. Donaldson.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 20175 Stars from Renee!
I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, secrets, pain, suspense, danger, twists & turns, and heartbreak.
This is Amber and Mox’s story. Amber is a single mother trying to provide for her and her daughter. She has no time for dating. But Mox makes her crave more. When her family is threatened she will do anything to protect and keep them safe. That means allowing Mox in to help her protect. Mox has never done commitment but this woman will make him rethink that. He is not the same man she knew years ago and he is going to prove it. But he must keep her safe first. With the threat hanging over them can they stay safe long enough to explore a future together? Or will the danger make staying safe not an option? Can these two protect each other from the danger?
I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I highly recommend this book.

5 Stars from Brianna!
S.M. Donaldson won me over with her MMA boys a while ago so it was a no brainer on this new spin off series, Dispatch 247. Sexy. Sweet. Suspenseful. Captivating. Donaldson took me on quite the unforgettable journey that was packed with heat and heart, cover to cover.
Arrested Heart is a brand new standalone full of second chances and one beautiful happy ending. Mox and Amber made me fall fast and hard, just like them, leaving me on the edge of my seat most of the book.
She's a single mom, working to provide a good life for herself and her young daughter. Dating is the last thing on her mind but Mox has a way of pulling her in, making her want more. And when her family is threatened, she'll do anything to keep them safe... including letting Mox in.
He doesn't do commitments and keeps it loose, never sticking around. SWAT by day, playboy by night... unobtainable is his game. But when Amber blasts back into his life after all those years ago, he knows it's his chance to get the girl. He's not the same guy from high school and this time he's playing for keeps.
But danger lurks at every corner and threatens to take it all away. No one is safe... not even Mox. Action packed and a real page turner, Mox and Amber will show you the power of family and love.
Get ready for one journey that will have you asking for more after the pages quit turning.
I recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2017Eli Moxen, or Mox and he's been introduced to us before, is what some would call a "ladies' man." Not one to settle down, he's usually a one and done kinda guy. Being the youngest member of the SWAT team with a string of bank robberies going down doesn't leave a lot of free time anyway, but a gorgeous redhead from his past could be worth the time.
Amber is a fiery redhead and a single mom. Having been burned in high school by her "baby daddy", she hasn't trusted men since. But she's also never felt the feelings that Eli is stirring up in her. But with a new promotion and a daughter to focus on, she can't let a man distract her. When the past rears its ugly head, will Eli be there for her to run to?
When the robberies escalate and threaten those Mox has grown to love, he will stop at nothing to make sure they're protected. And we also see that a mother's love will make you do crazy things. Follow along Eli and Amber's journey, but hang on…it's not exactly smooth sailing.
How does S.M. keep doing this? Every single character I fall in love with. With every book, I have a new favorite. Arrested Heart is a new spin-off series but there are plenty of appearances from our beloved MMA boys, and that is just one of my favorite things about this book. I love seeing the rag-tag family grow and find out what they're doing now. Keep 'em coming, S.M., and I'll keep loving them.
