What a ride! Started with action and unbelievably kept gaining more and more!
What an exciting listen this was!
I'm a big fan, but this book/listen blew the others outta the park!
Had to read almost straight through ended up with two sessions. Every time I thought I could take a pause, something else would happen and I couldn't stop! Finally, had a family obligation, and had to stop, but got back to it ASAP.
Narrator, Jay Snyder, is fantastic and always sells the story but he was outstanding in this one!
WOW! Don't miss this one..... just don't.

Another Good Listen!!

I am loving this new Team/Series! It's another hit. A lot of chemistry going on and a good enemies to lovers listen.
In this book we learn a lot more about the team and the men on it. We also learn about how difficult it is for them to be a non military special Ops group, with no official sanction. Their mission, authorized unofficially of course by the president, is crucial to the safety of not just the USA but of the world. Failure is not an option and they have to use every bit of their special skills learned through their years in special ops and in the Hot Operation Group.
We learn that although once they accomplish their mission they will have the option of returning to Hot. All but Ghost. To head this special mission he had to give up the option of ever returning to the military, and of ever heading up Hot, once General Mendez retires. I was sad to learn this, but also it emphasized just how critical their mission is.
I love all the team interaction, they certainly are a tight group.
The town's people are fun, lots of different characters, some of whom were introduced in the first book.
This story focuses both on the team's mission and on Chance and Aurora's relationship and how they navigate the challenges of an unexpected pregnancy and unscrupulous real estate land grabbers, who threaten Aurora and her brother's life and livelihood.
It's a really good listen and the narrators are excellent as well.

Great Start To This New Series
Reviewed: 01-31-25
This story introduces The Ghost Op Team. It's got everything., suspense, action, romance, and hot chemistry, and a real ghost, It gives some background on this new team and their mission and why they are supposed to remain unattached and operate in secret.
Enter Emma, returning to her home town with a stalker on her tail and finds herself an unwilling victim, in a gas station armed robbery.
Blaze our hero, stops for some bar-b-q at this same station and into the middle of this situation. Thus their first encounter, with him saving the day, of course.
The story moves along with the team making plans for some covert stuff for their mission and at the same time helping Emma with her stalker situation.
It's a good story with new characters being introduced, backgrounds being discovered and we get glimpses into the team members, as well as the town folk.
It is a really great start to this new series and new team. I can't wait for the next one.
Enjoy! I did!

It's been a while since I read/listened to a new Elvis Cole story, by Mr. Crais, I am so happy he decided to continue the series.
His books always have an interesting story line, intriguing, and great characters. Can't go wrong with this one.

Story
Nerdy Eden Hall isn’t the kind of girl people notice. She’s always lived in her twin’s shadow, always been plain and sensible compared to her sister’s big personality. But when her sister gets engaged to the man Eden secretly loves, it’s inevitable she’ll drink too much at the bachelorette party. It’s not inevitable that she’ll impulsively marry the hottest guy she’s ever laid eyes on, though. Of course they’re going to divorce, but it takes more time to do that than it did to get married. Time in which they’ll discover they’ve got more in common than simply burning up the sheets together.

Just finished the audio book. Loved it! It was worth the wait!
I had read the book and had anxiously waited for the audio version. I was so happy to get it and listen. YAY!
I love all of Lynn's books. I can, and do read and listen to them over and over. Something about them just resonates with me, as I know I will be getting a great story that keeps me involved with the characters and their lives and predicaments. There is always action and they also always involve other characters, either from previous books or introduces me to new ones. In either case the characters are full bodied and real.
This book starts off with an unplanned and unexpected "marriage in Vegas", and the story grows as both Zane and Eden sober up and understand that the quickie marriage was the easy part. A quickie divorce is not a thing to be accomplished fast.
So the story moves along with them having to get to know each other as people and not just in bed, In order to manage the problem of their marriage and how to ease out of it. Yet they also had to maintain the façade that they were happy with the decision to marry. They had undeniable chemistry, but each believed, at the beginning, that the other had previous feelings or relationships that interfered with them making a go of their marriage.
Action happens with an unexpected attack on Eden's boss and Zany and his team are needed to help protect her and her sister.
So a lot is happening all at once, in their marriage, their growing feelings towards each other, the attacks, the reason for the attacks and who's behind them. Lots of questions about everything. .
Wow, a lot going on. Exciting story,
Great narrators always make a great story even more exciting, and these two are really good!

The Aftermath of a stunning victory—especially an unexpected, complete, and final victory—should be high-fives all around, listening to politicians give boring congratulatory speeches, and a well-deserved rest for the Merry Band of Pirates. Yes, the galaxy is still a freakin' mess, but that is nothing new, and for a change, that can be someone else's problem. Until, you know, something really bad happens, and only the Pirates can deal with the problem... Or not.

Story
Lt. Eve Dallas is just home from a long overdue vacation when she responds to a call of an unattended death. The victim is Martin Greenleaf, retired Internal Affairs Captain. At first glance, the scene appears to be suicide, but the closer Eve examines the body, the more suspicious she becomes. An unlocked open window, a loving wife and family, a too-perfect suicide note—Eve's gut says it's a homicide. After all, Greenleaf put a lot of dirty cops away during his forty-seven years in Internal Affairs. It could very well be payback—and she will not rest until the case is closed.

Truly a Hot, Romantic, Sexy Mystery.
Reviewed: 08-28-23
With Alaina's rescue, by Ryder as the opening scene of this book, I was immediately hooked.
Ryder had just purchased and moved into his home on the lake, which is when he saw a body floating in the icy water, out his kitchen window. He dove in to bring Alaina to shore and was able to revive her, and bring her body temperature closer to normal.
When he took her to the hospital, he learned more about her and her six year old son Everett. She was single and her and Everett were alone in the world.
Alaina had no memory of how she ended up in the lake. and why her injuries included bruises and abrasions especially around her neck.
Apparently her attack had happened at the camping trailer that she was renting, and her car, purse and phone were there, but no other clue was found. She did not want to go back to live at the the trailer, and Ryder graciously offered to let them stay at his new house as he had a spare bedroom and also a mother-in-law cottage, which she could take a look at, and possibly rent.
Their story unfolds from there. Ryder discovers he likes being around kids, as this was his first real experience with one.
The mystery of the attack and who committed it is present throughout the whole story and it remains a mystery till practically the end. There are a number of suspects but I was totally floored by the actual culprit, and did not guess who it actually was.
This book was a great listen and I really liked the sweet, sexy development of Alaina and Ryders' relationship. The mystery and the threat of another possible attack kept it edgy.
I like knowing that Lynn's books will have a happy ending, interesting and fun characters to get to know, a great story line, and a chance to check in with other characters from the series.
Overall I enjoyed this one a lot and it made me feel good.

Everly Fairhope is desperate. When threats against her mother’s life escalate, there’s only one man she can turn to. But he’s as likely to slam the door in her face as he is to help her. Special Ops soldier Jax “Gem” Stone didn’t think he’d see Everly again after the abrupt way she walked out of his life and got engaged to someone else. So when she turns up at his front door, begging for help, the answer is no.

This is Gem and Everly's story, and it's a doozy. They first meet in Qu' rim, while Gem (AKA Jax), is on a protection detail for Everly's mom, who is a U.S. Congresswoman, visiting there and Everly is a part of her team. There was an attack on the cars that they were traveling in and Everly sees first hand the job that Gem does, in order to protect them.
They agree to meet up back in the states, and they start dating. The story takes an unexpected twist when Everly abruptly ends their relationship.
Things continue to twist for them as Gem reads in the paper that Everly has become engaged to someone else. and soon she turns up at his door requesting his help in protecting her mother, who is receiving threats.
Gems initial reaction is to say no, but as he is walking her to her car, shots are fired at them.
Now things are super complicated and the story really takes off. Things are heating up in more ways than one and you just have to hold on and go along for the ride and listen to this great story.
I thoroughly, enjoyed Gem and Everly's book and highly recommend it to all who love to be entertained, and love a fun sexy listen.
