Command and Control
Six months ago I baited a sinfully handsome but wickedly dangerous man.
He didn’t bite.
I wanted to work for his company. Desperately. Did all I could to prove my worth and plead my case.
To no avail.
Until the night I come home to find his card on my kitchen counter.
What follows is a game of cat and mouse that leaves me afraid and excited and even more attracted to the grumpy, silver fox mercenary who’s occupied my mind for months.
When we finally come face to face it’s toe-curlingly combustive. Vincent runs just as hot as I do and it’s not long before I discover what happens when a man like him decides you’re his.
He possesses you.
Wants every inch of your body and soul—and I’m happy to hand it all over.
But when someone tries to take me away, they find out what happens when you cross a man like him.
Command and Control is a complete standalone set in the world of Alaskan Security. You do not need to have read any of the other books to enjoy this story to the fullest.

Vincent is…WOW. He’s got so many layers. He’s cold as ice to hide the tender heart beneath it all, but I have a feeling that some in his employ already see through him. And the woman who tried to get a job with him? Yeah, she brings him to his knees. And then some.
Julieanne is the perfect fit for Vincent. She’s smart, funny, confident in herself (and she knows it took a lot of unlearning to get there, which makes me love her more), and the one woman who can shatter the ice Vincent hides behind. Sure, he pretends it isn’t love. It’s anger. Totally anger, right? It’s funny how he tries to fool himself even when he knows full well it’s bs. But that also makes me adore him more. For a guy who claims no feelings, he’s shown a lot of them in this series. But you’re not expecting the sheer amount and strength of those feelings.
Even when he has to reach out to someone he figured he’s burned all bridges with, that person immediately acts to have his back. And in their stubborn man way, they rebuild. Vincent even realizes that he does have friends. And he certainly has love. I’m pretty sure we’ll see more of a few people with GHOST, and I also would love more of Julianne and her kids along with it. I can’t wait to find out if they have stories to share also.

DISCLAIMER: I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
If I could give this more than five stars, I would! Alaskan Security is my favorite series, ever! And I’m so looking forward to reading more about the other teams at Alaskan Security, and GHOST! Command and Control is the first book in the Alaskan Security - GHOST Operative series, and I am seriously in love with Vincent and Julieanne’s story!! Janice not only exceeded my expectations, she also turned up the heat to blazing inferno!! Seriously, the spice in this book is insane!!
I loved how Janice pulled us into this storyline, and these characters! If you’ve read the Alaskan Security books, you’ve met Vincent and know he’s not a man to mess with. Unless your name is Heidi. This book dives into his character and makes you understand the way that he is. And Julieanne is his perfect counterpart!! I loved the cat and mouse, the banter, the spice!!
I love when a book with a mystery can still surprise me, and Janice was able to do that with this one! She kept me on my toes throughout the whole book!
I also loved that Janice found a way to include the Rogue team in this book, especially Heidi! Her interactions with Vincent in the previous books were hysterical! She and Julieanne seemed to be cut from the same cloth when it comes to how much they enjoy messing with Vincent!
I can’t wait to read more in the Alaskan Security world!
Thanks Janice and Julie for the advance copy!

I absolutely love that Jason and Stella took on the characters of Vincent and Julieanne! When Janice first teased that there was going to be narration for this book, I wondered if Jason was going to do it. I am obsessed with Jason’s deep, growly voice, and I thought he was the perfect Vincent! I love how he conveyed Vincent’s emotions! He really brought me in and sucked me even more into this story! I also died laughing when he took on Heidi’s character because he brought that character to life too with her sass!
Stella was phenomenal as Julieanne!! I love the spunk and sass she brought to the character as I think that is exactly the type of character that Janice/Jemma wrote for Julieanne.

I went into this book cold - I'd never read anything by this author before and now I'm kicking myself! This book was...HAWT! The MC's were my age. They've had a life - they've loved, lost, adjusted dream and expectations and keep on kicking.
Vincent is gruff, tough, grouchy and a martinet. His crew work hard for him and he thinks he's losing control 'cos they call him by his first name! He is all arrogance, alpha male, take charge with a dark and dominating streak.
Julieanne is divorced, a mother of two and an extraordinary hacker. She wants to work for the best and she's not above sabotage to get the attention she knows she deserves. She knows what she wants out of life and love. She thought her fantasy Vincent was scorching...then she got to taste the real deal!
Vincent is over the top in everything he does - it'd drive me mad in real life but it's perfectly acceptable in BBF. Julieanne is determined, adventurous, bold and will do anything for those she loves. This woman may not be a warrior by training but she can hold her own against any of Vincent's guys!
The cat/mouse, voyeur/exhibitionist scenes between these two will make you laugh out loud and fan yourself at the same time.
I will happily immerse myself back in this world anytime!

I knew Vincent would be hot, but this was definitely next level. He’s fierce, strong, so do alpha, and a complete badass. Julieanne seemed soft and sweet, but we quickly learned that she is his perfect match. This story was fast paced and easy to read, and I read it much faster than anticipated. I’m SO glad Vincent got a story!

Command and Control by Jemma Westbrook (janice whiteaker) is an exhilarating and captivating novel that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The central characters, Vincent and Julieanne, are an unforgettable duo with undeniable chemistry. Vincent's enigmatic silver fox and Julieanne's fiery spirit create a tantalizing dynamic that is both alluring and dangerous.
Westbrook's writing is sharp and witty, with a keen eye for detail and a gift for creating suspense. The action sequences are heart-pounding and the plot twists are unpredictable, leaving me guessing until the very end (seriously was NOT expecting it). The author's ability to balance intense action with moments of vulnerability and humor is truly remarkable.
One of the highlights of the book is the banter between Vincent and Julieanne. Their constant testing of each other's limits and Julieanne's playful defiance of Vincent's dominant tendencies add a layer of intrigue and excitement to the story. The undeniable connection between these two characters is both electrifying and endearing.
Another aspect that I thoroughly enjoyed was the inclusion of fan-favorite characters from the Alaskan Security series (zeke, pierce and more!). It was a delight to see these familiar faces and witness their interactions with the new characters. This seamless weaving of storylines only enhances the overall depth and richness of the Ghost universe.
My favorite quotes from the book perfectly encapsulate the essence of the characters and the story. 'She's a f**cking menace' captures Julieanne's unapologetic attitude and her ability to get under Vincent's skin. 'He rang that motherf**ker like the town was burning down' vividly portrays Vincent's passion (in more ways than one) ;).
Overall, Command and Control is an exceptional novel that delivers on all fronts. It is a gripping thriller with a captivating cast of characters, a tantalizing blend of action and suspense, and a satisfying conclusion. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense with a touch of humor and a whole lot of heart. I eagerly anticipate the next installment in the Ghost series and can't wait to see what Jemma Westbrook has in store for us next.

Holy smokes! How did my kindle not burst into flames from the heat? This is the story we have all been waiting for! Jemma Westbrook, AKA Janice Whiteaker, completely knocked her writing game out of the park with Command and Control! The character surprises and spice left me stunned like I’ve never experienced before!
Julieanne wants to work for GHOST. Why settle for a simple job interview when you can demonstrate your computer skills in your own special way? Oh, that’s right, they’re a secret private company. This woman knows what she wants, and she wants Vincent after her first sight of him on her monitor. She likes to play with fire and doesn’t care if she gets burned, just as long as she gets laid.
In the beginning, Vincent was in complete denial about his attraction to Julianne. He insists that she’s only a target because she dared to breach their system. When her face filled his computer screen, she brought out the possessive side of him, and he is gone!
He’s like The Wizard of Oz because he gives the illusion that he’s bad and mean, but we get a peek behind the curtain and find out what he’s really about. She brings out a side of him we never suspected! This man is all in or all out in everything in his life.
Vincent and Julieanne are both written in a tone that is different than I expected. I thought she would be more demure, but her snark and attitude are a style that Westbrook is known for with many of her female characters. The cat-and-mouse game they played with each other was brilliant, hot and had me laughing hysterically.
There are elements that I recognize as typical Jemma/Janice writing, but she just upped her game with this no-holds-barred story. I have a feeling that this will be her style from here on out. Yes!!
I feel bad for the next book I read because it can’t top this one!

Wow what an amazing read this is. Vincent is so awesome. Hard on the outside gooey for his angel face on the inside this book had the perfect balance of thrill angst and my personal favorite romance. The romance was hot hot 🔥. The twist and turns I did not expect just made this book even better. You knew Vincent had a back story but truthfully it was not brought up often you just knew his past defined the man he was. Angel face was way too smart for her own good. Hence why two people who would have never met up did. A meeting on zoom defined their future relationship. Once Vincent got out of his own way it was a magical trip on romance and suspense and a twist I never saw coming this is what makes this author amazing at what she does.

It is hard to come up with the words to describe how much I loved Julianne and Vincent. Julianne is so intelligent and caring and giving and has learned to love herself which includes decing what she wants and going for it. She is brave and strong and loving and open to allowing herself to find and accept her joy. She is absolutely a kick butt female lead. She is easy to love as soon as we see her. I want to be part of her and Heidi's friend group. Vincent is the proverbial broken hero who needs to learn to accept friendship, love and help. I adore the way he takes care of Julianne in all her needs even the ones she doesn't realize she has. I love his house and the changes he made in advance. I love how he tries so hard to be the jack@$$ he thinks he has always been. He is a near perfect male lead. I love Heidi and Pierce and Elias and even Julianne son's even though we don't see much of them. The bad guys are well hidden and difficult to guess. The suspense is spine tingling and the action is scorched earth. The story is well thought out, well crafted and fully developed. I hope we see more of Jules' sons, that would be fun.

Beauty and the Beast meets Fifty Shades of Gray vibes.
Nothing like another strong woman that's tired of being underappreciated to bring one of the Alaskan men we love to hate to his knees.
Vincent is the silver mercenary fox that runs GHOST and Julieanne is a hacker trying her best to get Vincent's attention to hire her. She gets his attention, but it might be more than she bargained for.
"It's easy to be naughty when you think no ones watching, but doing it knowing it will likely result in a giant, angry, silver fox mercenary chasing after you? Honestly, that sounds f@#-fantastic. Terrifyingly fantastic." -Julieanne
Women have RBF apparently men have RAF (resting a-hole face). 🤣

This book grabbed me from the first page. A good mental game of cat and mouse. Vincent is all hard edges, he has to be. Until Julieanne appears to break through his code, software, fire wall, the impenetrable. She thought it was a good audion, a job interview, but she was wrong.
We do get to see our friends from Alaska Security, but this book can stand alone. If you are looking for a fast moving, action packed, steam, and suspense, I recommend this book.
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

This was an incredible book and an amazing storyline. Our hero has always been Mr grumpy pants but when he meets his lady she not only turns him and his life upside down but he finds to his amazement that now he has her he doesn’t want to lose her and beware if you do something to take her, as the powerful Vincent comes back in action to take those out who dared to take what is his. I will definitely be reading this again as Jemma aka Janice hit it out of the park with the characters!!!!!

Vincent is hot, HOT, H.O.T.! He is totally a silver fox ahole who doesn’t smile and doesn’t laugh until a frustrating happy woman does him in. I loved seeing him opening himself to the sunshine Julieanne brings his way. She’s not afraid of his grumpy self and super sassy and he brings to her life everything that she didn’t have in her life. Jemma Westbrook outdid herself in this book! I love her writing and I especially love the names of the chapters. This book is action packed, suspenseful and super steamy and I loved every word.
April 20, 2024
Such a great love story between a silver fox and his sassy hacker. This story started out a little slow but definitely heated up. There’s tons of steam and the middle is action packed. I loved seeing the Alaskan Security team again and getting to know the Ghost team a bit more. There is a bit of betrayal but you’ll have to read to find out who ;) this is a lightening fast romance with lots of steam and action.

If there ever was a person more of an enigma than Vincent I haven‘t heard of him. So being able to read his story was Eye opening! It explains so much and boy is he a male unicorn, enigma, puzzle and anything else you want to call it. So Ghost is definitely fitting him as no one knows him or has figured him out until her and boy did she get him twisted up. It was funny to read and such a excellent storyline.

I received an ARC and I'm freely reviewing.
Can I just say, wow?!? Like holy moly. Vincent is unbelievable!! Sure, Julianne is pretty amazing too, lol. This book immediately pulled me in and I drooled all over my kindle. It was a little awkward at work, haha. Vincent is a hard as nails alpha male that is immediately taken when he hears/sees Julieanne. He fights the attraction as long as he can and then the combustion happens and it is glorious! Julianne is a techy genius that is sarcastic and no nonsense. She's had a rough go of things but is determined to do what is best for her from now on and it works. These characters are brilliant and thrilling. This is a book that you will be sad to see it end. I loved it and cannot wait for more.

I don't know what came up to me and finish this instead of DNF-ing.
The characters are just NOT IT, and I grew tired of the characters' scenes. LIKE CAN WE MOVE FORWARD NOW???

Holy, Wow!
I have read everything by Jemma Westbrook, and her alter-ego contemporary counterpart Janice Whiteaker, and nothing prepared me for the steam and intensity that is Vincent and Julieanne’s story. And when I say she took this book to the next level, I mean it. Plotline, characters, seggsy time, suspense—Command and Control has it all!
One of the really wonderful things about this book (besides the edge-of-your seat intrigue and seriously steamy intensity between the two main characters, of course) is that you can jump into this story whether you’re a long-time reader or brand new to Westbrook’s books. It is definitely related to her Alaskan Security series, but whether you dive in here or wade in from the beginning, everything you need to know about Vincent and Julianne’s HEA is in this story. No overarching plotlines to unravel. No massive backlist of characters to know. Just plunge in right here.
Oh, and make sure you have snacks, turn on your do-not-disturb notification for everything in your life, and settle in to a comfy spot. Once you pick this one up, you won’t want to put it down until you have absorbed every last crumb of goodness Westbrook dishes up.
Seriously, be prepared to luxuriate in the deep end of the pool. Because Command and Control is deep. On multiple levels. The connection between Julieanne and Vincent is intense. Both characters are beautifully developed through epic banter, beautiful internal monologue, vivid observations by and of each other, and their journey is solidly established and meticulously traced from initial contact to their ultimate HEA.

I have read everything by Jemma Westbrook, and her alter-ego contemporary counterpart Janice Whiteaker, and nothing prepared me for the steam and intensity that is Vincent and Julieanne’s story. And when I say she took this book to the next level, I mean it. Plotline, characters, seggsy time, suspense—Command and Control has it all!
One of the really wonderful things about this book (besides the edge-of-your seat intrigue and seriously steamy intensity between the two main characters, of course) is that you can jump into this story whether you’re a long-time reader or brand new to Westbrook’s books. It is definitely related to her Alaskan Security series, but whether you dive in here or wade in from the beginning, everything you need to know about Vincent and Julianne’s HEA is in this story. No overarching plotlines to unravel. No massive backlist of characters to know. Just plunge in right here.

Vincent has so many layers. He is cold to everyone around him, his employees, and his "friends" as well. When Julieanne tries to get a job with him by showing she is good enough to be a member of the GHOST team he shuts her down. However, it isn't because he doesn't think she is good enough its because he is hooked.
Julieanne is a divorced woman with two boys in college, and she isn't afraid to go after what she wants. She is smart, funny, and confident. Jules is the one woman who Vincent tries to say he hates but she sees right through it. She enjoys pushing him and asking questions to find out who he is. I mean he even cooks for her, because he wants to.
When Jules is taken right under his nose, he reaches out to the one person he thinks he burned a bridge with, but that person jumps in immediately and has his back. He realizes that he has started to look at things differently, softer, and it helps him to realize he isn't as alone as he believed. I really enjoyed Julieanne and Vincent's story, there were some things that happened in previous books that I didn't know about because this was my first book by this author. However, it is possible to read this book as a standalone or as a part of the series. I would love to read more of this series, see members of the GHOST team and more of Julieanne and her boys. I highly recommend this book.
Received ARC in exchange for voluntary honest review from Jemma Westbrook and Grey's Promotions.

4.5 stars
I haven’t read any of the previous books in the series and went in to this one blind. I can tell you now…that is going to change. Protector MMC’s are my absolute favorite and Vincent takes that role and owns it to his core. Although he has never been in a relationship before, he loses himself completely the minute Julieanne pops up on his screen asking for a job.
There are so many aspects to this story that I love. Julieanne’s character is older and so confident despite not getting her dream job. She has some creeper tendencies herself and isn’t shy about what she wants. Vincent is all hard edges and broody boss but his defenses crumble around Julieanne. This creates such a fun dynamic and a great story. Their banter was on another level but Julieanne didn’t give any bratty vibes which was refreshing. Vincent owns his alpha role in this relationship and brings the heat when he needs to!
Then we have the suspense and plot. Even though there are a lot of references to previous storylines, I do not feel like I am missing anything in regard to this book. The author did a great job providing enough info and backstory to really understand the dynamic between GHOST and Alaskan Security without creating a feeling that I needed to read the previous books to appreciate this one. I will read the previous books simply because I liked this one so much!

OMG! LOVE this book! a Must read!
I absolutely loved this book and did not want to see it end. Vincent is every bit the bad ass he comes across as throughout this series. I love his take charge personality, including his grumpiness. I love it even more that he’s super sweet to Julieanne even when he’s irritated. She’s his perfect match. She’s not afraid of him at all and even challenges him. She’s his perfect equal.
I really like it that majority of this book is of only the 2 of them. I got to really see their relationship grow into such a strong cohesive unit. He’s been trying for resist her and finally has to give in to his desires and seek her out. They’ve both been fascinated of each other and their interactions are hot. Their sex is over the top hot and intense but also sweet. The action is also very exciting. There’s also a tie-in with the Alaskan Securities group with Pierce & Heidi.
Between their romance and the action and the plot, this book kept me enthralled. I was struggling between wanting to devour it quickly and not wanting it to end. Even though I can read this anytime for free with my KU subscription, I will buy this book so that I can reread it again and again easily. I highly recommend this book! You will love it too. I also recommend this series and in fact, plan to read it again from the beginning.

Hands down, this is the hottest book I have read by Jemma Westbrook. It’s spicy as all get out and you do not want to miss it. Fans of the Alaskan Security series will recognize the mysterious and elusive Vincent, from Ghost, as the hero. He is every bit as alpha as one would expect him to be if they are at all familiar with Westbrook’s previous books. Julieanne is a breath of fresh air to his life. Tropes that will have readers falling for this couple: silver fox, mature couple (in their 40s, she’s been married and has grown kids), romantic suspense, paramilitary hero, alpha-hole, he’s in charge, insta-lust. This novel hits many of the favorites. Vincent has intrigued me from the start and Westbrook does such a great job and doling out just enough information at a time that you won’t want to put it down. Hitting higher on the spicy scale than many of her previous books, readers will also get the storyline and intrigue that they are used to from this author. Definitely one that fans won’t want to miss and as the first in a new series, also a good spot for new readers to jump in (although I can almost guarantee you’ll want to go back and read Alaskan Security after reading this one to catch up with all the side characters!).

Such a fantastic read! I’ll admit I’ve struggled with reading several books I’ve eagerly anticipated, so finding this unexpected gem was a delightful surprise.
This was my first book by the author, but the blurb sounded so intriguing I signed up for an ARC. I’m so glad I did because I want to read more by this author and specifically in the Alaskan Security series.
The two characters are mature adults mid-40s or older with life experiences and a strong sense of self. I loved Julieanne’s confidence and body positive attitude. She endured what sounds like a miserable marriage for 20 years and deserves happiness and to be desired by a man who appreciates her. She gets that and more with Vincent!
Vincent is an alpha warrior who is a loner by his own design. He struggles to resist Julieanne and after 6 months he decides he’s going to ‘teach her a lesson’ so she realizes he not someone to toy with. She shocks him and never reacts how he anticipates or expects. I love how she has him off balanced, how she respects his capabilities but doesn’t back down to him.
I received a free ARC from the author and Grey’s PR; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.

His Little Thorn is stuck under his skin
I am so glad we finally get Vincent's story and we finally get to understand the very complex and twisted mind that is the head of GHOST. He may tell himself he has to take Julienne out to prove something to his team, but it is actually about proving to himself he is not as broken as he believes, that it is possible to have love and be loved....even with a past like his. Vincent has always been a bit of a dark character in the series, we have seen brief flashes of humanity that make you realise there is far more to him than he shows, but here we get to see every broken shard as Julienne drives him close to insanity, melts his brain and helps him heal, whilst also finding herself, her freedom and her future. I love that Julienne is not scared of Vincent, she baits him, questions him and stands up to him at every turn, she is exactly what he craves with every breath, but also what he needs for the future of GHOST.
An amazing addition to the series, I cannot wait for more from Alaskan Security, we get Zeke's book next but have to wait until December for it! I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

I did enjoy this book. Julieanne (Jules) is a hacker and tried to get herself a job at GHOST by hacking them. Two things came about as a result of that day. First she didn't get offered the job she hoped for, she got nothing. Secondly she became an obsession with the the owner of GHOST, Vincent.
Six months of trying to get Jules out of his head, Vincent, a hard, driven, never smiled, confirmed bachelor decided to go and find Jules and try to get her out of not just hacking his company but out of his head as well.
He doesn't count on Jules hitting back, not crumbling after he broke into her apartment and being just as obsessed with him. Nor does he factor in Jules putting on a very X rated show for him, even though she doesn't know he's watching her at that point.
Jules and Vincent has an insanely hot chemistry between. When that ignites, you get some scorching scenes. When danger comes knocking on Jule's door, Vincent is right there, but who is it? Jule's and Vincent's journey is one of a hard nosed falling over himself for a sassy, outspoken female, with some twists and turns which might surprise you. A good read, I enjoyed it.

Holy Steam...so much steam!
This was just...wow. This right here was yet another reminder of how good Janice Whiteaker is at what she does. If you've read this series you know how disappointed we all felt towards Vincent at the end of that last book. While his true reasoning behind his behavior isn't explained on the first page you get the gist of the fact that there have been underlying things which have affected him to the point he's out of sorts. This is a slow and sensual burn until it isn't. Then she straight up sets the whole rest of the book on fire with the tension and combustible releases that are extra spicy. There's an element of sunshine to grumpy troping. Yet to simply call it that minimizes the genuine impact of these characters when the h is an absolutely brilliant spitfire, and the H is the growly silver fox head of Ghost who has finally met his match in a woman's who's willing to go toe to toe with him. This one definitely belongs in my books worth rereading category. J

Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this book has all the heat, suspense, and protective hero moments you could want and ends with a HEA.
Vincent is growly, dangerous, and having a little internal crisis when Julieanne manages to hack into GHOST’s system and surprise him. It takes him six months before he goes after her with a plan to teach her a lesson. At least that is what he tells himself. Julieanne is a smart woman who has learned her own value after a divorce from a marriage that was anything but good for her. I loved her ability to recognize her needs and worth. Both are mature characters and I adored them.
This book has some seriously HAWT moments. Vincent is definitely an alpha yet he cares for Julieanne with a tenderness I don’t think he even knew he possessed. He has lived his life closed off from personal connection-until her. He is a filthy talker and a dominant man who happily gets on his knees when it comes to her.
I don’t want to give things away but know that I loved this book. I really couldn’t put it down.
