Gold Rush: A Romantic Suspense Novel (Blackwood Security Book 4) Kindle Edition

Lara Reynolds has a lot of things she wants to escape. A nightmare of an ex-boyfriend and a stalker are just two of them. Becoming housekeeper to former Navy SEAL Nick Goldman—a man whose home is as filthy as his mind—is far from her dream job, but she's out of other options.

She tries to flee from her past, but when you have a weakness for high heels, there are bound to be a few stumbles along the way. Will Lara run out of luck or fall into love?

Gold Rush is a romantic suspense novel in the Blackwood Security series, but can be read as a standalone - no cliffhanger!

Elise Noble is an English rose with a few thorns who loves chocolate, sleep, and well-defined abs. Not hers, unfortunately. She lives near London with a horse who eats all her money and a dog who eats her car keys. Always an avid reader, she took up writing after inspiration struck in an old manor house and still pinches herself over the fact that people read her books.

Elise writes romantic suspense with gutsy women, protective heroes, and a healthy dose of humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic read!

Amazing book! I normally don't read romance stories preferring urban fantasy or pure suspense stories but Elise Noble's Pitch Black showed up on my "based on other books...." listing and, looking for something different, I gave it a try. Much to my amazement, I couldn't put it down! I devoured that book in a single night and quickly followed up with books 2 & 3 in the series. I ordered Gold Rush last night and once again found myself sucked into the world of Blackwood Securities. This is Nick's love story but it is still an action-packed intriguing read full of excitment, laugh-out-loud moments, and tender love scenes. Elise Noble's writing style makes her characters come alive and I find myself alternating cheering them on and groaning aloud at their foibles. I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

Great action and an interesting plot line. Nicely developed characters with fun quirks. I definitely recommend. This is the first book I’ve read in the series and I’m anxious to read from the beginning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good suspense, good plot, questions about characterization
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2022

The author Elize Noble does a very good job of creating a suspenseful atmosphere, especially in the early section of this story. Lana is being harassed by her ex and stalked by some unknown person who enters her apartment when she’s not there, leaving noticeable traces behind. The plot of the story moves along at a good pace, too. My biggest problem with this story is characterization. Nick, the male protagonist, is actually more believable than Lana. He likes his security work, isn’t overly impressed by his wealth, and his reluctance to follow his feelings for Lana make sense, given his history. Lana, on the other hand, is less believable and less likeable. She’s sort of a wimp at making any attempt at taking care of herself, and she is way overly impressed by events hosted by the rich and famous. Overall, this is a readable story. I just wish I’d like the characters more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action Packed Romantic Thriller!!! Best Series Ever! :)

An abusive ex-boyfriend. A mugging. A stalker. Getting fired (sacked as Elise would write) from a crappy job. Lara was down on her luck. So a randomly crazy move seemed like a perfect adventure.

Still broke, Lara lucked into a housekeeping job for one of Blackwood Security's team members, but the house / estate was straight out of a Hoarders episode. Can a lowly housekeeper become more to her wealthy, sexy boss?

A friend in a coma after an accident. A wedding back home. The ex-boyfriend reappears. The stalker reappears. I know what you're thinking... This is too much action for one book! And yet Elise keeps the action (and romance) coming chapter after chapter with full clarity.

Personally, I want to work for Blackwood Security! HEA and no cliffhanger, yet I can't wait to read the next book in this series, Gray is My Heart. Can be read as a standalone, yet I highly recommend reading the entire series in order for maximum enjoyment. Warning: This series is addictive!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to one of my favorite series...

I absolutely love this series, and this latest volume did not disappoint! It's so exciting to get to know the other characters that surround Emmy and Black, especially when they get their own stories while we get glimpses of the whole Blackwood family. I had been waiting anxiously for Nick's story, and the relatable character of Lara was a perfect addition. As with the rest of this series, I really appreciate the author's writing style. Every sentence has a purpose, making the book flow so well, that I can't read fast enough. They are books I will read again and again! I already cannot wait to read the next Blackwood Security installment! I was given an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, however it was already on my preorder list, and it would have been read and given a review regardless.

Great Book to read. Could not put down until I was at the end. This was about a woman that thought she was going crazy because she keep thinking someone was in her apartment when she was not there because of the smells and things being moved around but the cops did not think it was anything. So after a few months she got to the point where she had it and moved to another state and started over. She worked two or three jobs. But any way it is time to Buy the Book to know what happens next. It is worth it to Buy the Book

Her father dubbed her Lucky Lara but she's had anything but good fortune. With the decision made to start fresh in a new town, she lands a dream job that at first glance seems more a nightmare. Will she find love or will her past catch up with her? One of my favorite parts of this book was a scene at the Buck's bar with the new drinks menu. My husband asked me what was so funny and I'll admit that I had to ask him what some of the drink names ment and that just made it funnier. Elise Noble has a knack for writing realistic plots and characters that engage you from the first page to the last❤

Really enjoyed the fourth book in this series. Nick needed his story written and he has found a good woman, interesting and with lots of problems. I always love the way Emmy gives stupid mean people hell and sticks up for her friends. Lara had a complicated young life, but is finally coming into her own, meaning that when life throws you bad things you pick yourself up and keep on going. Lara has pluck, I like that in this character.

I really enjoyed this book as it really realistic the author describe a real person , if they have a bad breath she will say it , that's how realistic it was. The heroine was a bit of the doormat how can you be that clueless that a guy is interested in you, do you think he was working you all over the place for your beautiful eyes. Your right.
The slow burn was just delicious, I really like that the fact that they didn't jump in bed right away, it was action pack, never a dull moment I was really sad to come to an end, I kept checking the % on my kindle not wanting to reach the 100% :(
