The Omega Series, Book 4

De: J. R. Tootill

Narrado por: Raven Rose, Joe Arden

Long ago Rourke Clarke gave his heart to the only woman he will ever love. He was resigned to a life without her even though she was the fire that lit up his soul. He would gladly let her burn him to ash for one more chance.

Charlemaine Morgan learned a long time ago that everything has a cost. The Navy cost her the love of her life. The cost of being with her abusive ex was her unborn child. Now, she wonders what the cost will be if she gives Rourke a second chance.

Rourke fought hard to overcome his childhood. When he learns what Charlie endured at the hands of her ex, the past that haunts his dreams resurfaces. But can he overcome his fears to be the man she deserves?

The past never stays dead for long. And when it collides with the present and threatens the life they have built, they have to trust all they feel for each other to survive.

Codename Havoc, Book 4 in The Omega Series, is intended for mature audiences over eighteen due to language, sexual situations, and depictions of trauma.

Fantabulous Story

Incredible Story & Narration🎧Gripping & Profound!

J.R. Tootill pens another amazing “Omega Security” series novel, and it is fantastic, a military romantic suspense that captivates your attention the entire time and tugs at your heartstrings too. I am loving this series and as much as I want to say it just keeps getting better and better, it would not be fair to the earlier book which are just as fabulous, and to get the best of the incredible world building it is best to enjoy the books in order written. The Omega Security team, former military operatives and agents, continues to grow, and this fourth book is Charlemaine “Charlie” Morgan’s and Rourke Clarke’s story, which began ten years earlier when they first met while serving in Iraq. The two had a fling back then and had feelings for one another, or so Charlie thought, but he upped and left without a word in the middle of the night and it isn’t until years later that they meet again, when Rourke joins Omega Security and puts his own team together. Rourke has worked with the members of Omega in the past and has made appearances in earlier books. Charlie and Rourke’s reunion was not exactly a friendly one, but the one thing that was for sure was the feelings they still harbored for one another. Hearing Charlie’s backstory and what she endured before coming to Omega was gut wrenching, and so was her struggle with her inner demons and PTSD from the trauma, but she had the strength to leave a terrible situation. It was great to watch Charlie and Rourke reunite and rekindle their love and the fire between, but there is never a dull moment in this book, with new operations in the field, operations gone bad and then Charlie’s past coming back to haunt her. I loved all the layers of this story and how it all plays out, with plenty of drama, angst, some action, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Like the first three books, the writing, plot and world building are incredible, as are the character growth and development. J.R. Tootill, thank you for another amazing story, the wild and emotional rollercoaster ride, too.

🎧📚🎧 Raven Rose and Joe Arden were fantastic voicing these characters and performed each role brilliantly, embodying their personality and delivering a spot on portrayal. Arden was Rourke and was a natural in his role, from his alpha side to his caring side, Rose as Charlie was perfection, grasping her demeanor, her vulnerabilities and her strengths. You could hear how much heart these two put into their performance as they captured all the characters’ emotions, and had you feel every single one. These two made a great team, with voices and talent that complemented each other and a captivating performance that keeps you glued to the story. They are entertaining storytellers who take this already incredible story to another level, an enjoyable and top-notch listen.

Best of the series do far

JR is so good at telling these stories. She has gotten the perfect narrators for each, and they are so addicting.

This particular one has my one and only trigger. I skipped some parts only because I had to. The rest is fabulous! I was waiting for this story and I’m so glad I gave it a go

Now on to the next! Cobra? I’m coming for you!

Passionate love!

Book 4 in the Omega Security series, and somehow, this series just keeps getting better. This time, we follow Omega’s newest addition, Rourke, and his always girl, Charlie. Their history spans ten years, and though life has thrown them both through the wringer, their feelings for each other have never wavered. Charlie has endured deep trauma, and Rourke carries his own scars. Alone, they’ve each been close to breaking—but together, can they make it through?

JR Tootill does a fantastic job handling sensitive topics with care, never diminishing their weight but weaving them seamlessly into the story. One thing I’ve loved throughout this series is the way she writes her FMCs—strong, fierce, and unrelenting. They don’t hold back just to fit the mold of what’s considered ladylike. They are powerful, capable, and thrive in a male-dominated world while still being beautifully complex, loving, and deeply human.

Charlie starts off in a vulnerable place, struggling to remember her own strength after everything she’s been through. Rourke is the balance she needs—pushing her to thrive while also knowing when to be tender. His protectiveness, patience, and unwavering love make him the perfect match for her.

The audiobook performances by Joe Arden and Raven Rose were spot on. Joe, as always, embodied Rourke effortlessly, making it easy to forget he was even acting. I like how he portrayed the strong leader Rourke is and seamlessly transitioned to the softer patient partner Charlie needed. This was my first time listening to Raven Rose, and she was amazing—bringing out Charlie’s raw vulnerability in a way that made me want to comfort her while also delivering her strength in a way that had me cheering her on.

This story, combined with the outstanding voice acting, was spectacular. I highly recommend this book and the entire Omega Security series. 5/5 stars.

A perfect blend of suspense and spice

Codename: Havoc is an action packed drama blended perfectly with a beautiful second chance love story.
Charlie has survived more than her fair share of heartbreak. After being abandoned by Rourke—she ends up in a toxic, abusive marriage. When she finally escapes her husband after a brutal attack, she finds herself at the Omega compound, only to be reunited with Rourke after many years apart. Their connection is still there, raw and undeniable, but their reunion isn’t without complications.
Rourke, a former Navy SEAL, has his own demons to battle. The regret of walking away from Charlie weighs on him, and now that she’s back in his life, he’s determined to prove he’s not going anywhere. But between their painful past, the trauma she’s endured, and his struggle with taking on more missions after a devastating loss, their journey back to each other is anything but easy.

Narrator Raven Rose perfectly embodies Charlie’s transformation—from a woman weighed down by fear and pain to someone who stands her ground and refuses to be broken. Co-star Joe Arden delivers an incredible performance as Rourke, balancing his tough, alpha presence with the vulnerability and emotion that make him such a compelling and loveable character.

Toothill perfectly weaves together action, romance, and emotional depth, making this book so much more than just a love story. Combined with the phenomenal performances of two outstanding voice actors, I was completely hooked from the very first chapters.

Codename Havoc ALC Review

Codename Havoc by J.R. Tootill
Performed by Raven Rose and Joe Arden

Codename Havoc by J.R. Tootill is probably one of my top 5 listens of the year! This is book four in her Omega Security Series. J.R. writes her stories with so much emotion, and Codename Havoc certainly kept me on the edge of my emotions. I laughed, cried, and cheered for these characters.

We begin Charlie and Rourke’s story on assignment after a particularly bad day that involved characters from previous books in the Omega Series. That is one thing that I love about this series; when we finish a book, it does not mean that we will not get to see or hear from those characters again, because this group is a family and they are so entwined in each other’s lives.

Years later, Charlie finds herself in a relationship that she flees from and heads to the Omega Security Team to rejoin forces with Tuc, her old boss. Surrounding herself with Tuc and Leda and the rest of the Omega Security team, Charlie has a sense of safety and security.

After a few years at Omega Security, Charlie finds herself face to face with Rourke Clarke, the one who got away. Rourke promises that things will be different this time, but can he keep that promise?

This story is about two people who have to work through their trauma to find the strength to love each other. J.R. creates such strong yet vulnerable characters that you can’t help but love and root for.

Then, there is the performance by Raven Rose and Joe Arden. Raven is a new to me narrator, but she portrayed Charlie’s story with such talent that I was blown away. I cannot wait to listen to more books narrated by Raven Rose. I could feel the character’s emotions in the words that she spoke. Then there is Joe Arden, who gave us an incredible performance for Rourke. Rourke is a tough Navy Seal who has his trauma to deal with, and Joe taps into those emotions with such intensity that I felt those emotions as I listened. This audiobook was so well casted and well done. The Bluenose Audio team did a stellar job with the production of this book.

Five-Star Audiobook Review: Codename Havoc by JR Tootill
🎧 Narrated by Joe Arden and Raven Rose

Codename Havoc is JR Tootill’s best work yet—a five-star emotional rollercoaster that hits all the right notes. This fourth book in the Omega Security Series brings Rourke and Charlie’s tragic pasts to the forefront, and the result is nothing short of powerful.

Joe Arden absolutely owns the role of Rourke. He’s appeared in every installment of the series, but his performance here is next-level. His delivery captures Rourke’s fierce intensity, vulnerability, and depth in a way that left me in tears. There were moments I forgot I was listening to an audiobook—his ability to portray children’s voices with such emotional weight made the scenes feel heartbreakingly real. It was gut-wrenching, tragic, and brilliant.

Raven Rose is a new-to-me narrator, but she’s now firmly on my radar. Her portrayal of Charlie was masterful—handling everything from intimate, steamy scenes to moments of raw emotional pain with grace and authenticity. Her voice was a perfect match for Charlie’s strength and softness.

JR Tootill has truly found her rhythm with these characters and this world. Codename Havoc is a standout in the Omega Security series, and the narration takes it to even greater heights.

If you love romantic suspense with depth, heart, and phenomenal voice acting, this one’s a must-listen. I can’t wait for what’s next!

Make sure you check out the audiobooks for this series. Rourke is voiced by Joe and Charlie narrated by Raven, both of them are absolutely perfect for these characters. I can not wait to listen to Cobra Next!

Narration was wonderful

It was a cute story, a little too sappy for me. I stuck with it though.
