Eagle Tactical #2
Stealth: Mason: A Small Town Romantic Suspense
Sold to the mafia. I’m nothing more than a piece of property to my brother. Forced into an arranged marriage, I enlist the help of Eagle Tactical. Ariella I moved in with Jaxson after the attack. It’s hard to keep my hands off him, but he’s my boss. He’s given me a job at Eagle Tactical as his subordinate. I don’t take orders well, especially from a grumpy boss. He's about just as grumpy as his toddler when she skips her afternoon nap. Jaxson I vowed to protect Ariella. That’s how much she means to me, but she’s gotten under my skin with her know everything attitude and sassy hip sway that has my body in overdrive. I swore I’d never do a one-night stand. Is that what she thinks we shared? Is that why she hates me? I don’t know how much longer I can wake up under the same roof, go to work with her, and not throw her down on the bed. We have a mission that takes priority, but how can I keep my mind on the job when she’s always in the room, and I want to bend her over the desk? Stealth: Mason is book two in Eagle Tactical series and ends with a HFN and a guaranteed series HEA.

Tired of waiting
Why do authors write cliffhangers? Please, write the story, beginning to end, and THEN move on to new (even if related) stories! This was a good read but adding new characters and their associated issues is a cheap trick to get me to buy another book. Won't work, sorry. Just loses you a reader.

This is book two in the Eagle Tactical series, I am not keen on cliffhangers but I have downloaded the series.
"Mason, I need your help, please track my phone and come and get me, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't life or death - my death Hazel". This message was received by Ariella, the latest recruit to Eagle Securities but it was obviously meant for Mason.
Hazel and Mason had been high school sweethearts but she had supposedly gone away to collage and he had joined the military.
Eagle tactical consisted of ex special forces buddies Mason, Declan Jaxson and Aiden with help from another ex colleague, café owner Lincoln. The latest recruit Ariella was ex CIA, she and Jaxson were in love but the "no relationships with co workers or clients" meant that they couldn't be together even though they were living in the same house.
Hazel's step brother Nilolai was a mafia don and he had sold Hazel to his right hand man Franco.
Hazel detested Franco and when he kidnapped her and was heading for the airport she sent her frantic message to Mason.
This story follows the kidnapping of Hazel, the attempts by Mason and his colleagues to rescue her, the bloodbaths and body count that ensued and the rekindled chemistry between Hazel and Mason.
This book is action packed but, like the first book in the series, the ending is happy for now, but still leaves you hanging. If the books had an ending I would probably have given them another star.

Action-Packed But Definitely Not a Standalone!
Willow Fox’s “STEALTH” is the second title in her Eagle Tactical series. While I knew the story was part of a series, I didn’t realize that it wasn’t a standalone, and that was a bit confusing at times. Apparently, the story is the continued journey toward an HEA for Eagle Tactical owner Jaxson and former CIA operative Ariella in addition to a side plot reuniting Jaxson’s business partner, Mason, with his high school love, Hazel. The heroines in this tale are brave and beautiful while the heroes are handsome, sexy, and very protective. I really liked the action and suspense in the story, but the way details from what I assume is the first book were woven in made it a little difficult to keep things straight, and I kind of felt as if I were on the outside looking in. And while I genuinely enjoy the characters, from Jaxson to Lincoln and even little Izzie, I feel like there wasn’t enough attention paid to developing them fully. While Mason and Hazel’s story was wrapped up, the one for Jaxson and Ariella is far from over, and it was a bit of a bummer to have so many questions and so few answers. I plan on going back and reading Book 1 to see if it helps me understand things a bit better.

Well now! I was a little confused when Stealth started because it seemed more of a continuation of the first book of the series (which I didn't read) than a standalone. That being said, I was able to catch on pretty quickly and follow the connections between the characters.
I enjoyed the way Willow Fox wove different story lines together to make one intense and thrilling picture. There was Hazel and Mason's second chance with a mob twist. Coupled with Jaxson and Ariella's slow-burn with a touch of the forbidden romance. And in the middle of it all was this deadly dangerous element that was someway tied together.
I have to say that there was so much action that the romance portion of the book got a little lost for me. That's not to say the anticipation wasn't there because if certainly was. I just wanted more connection and steam. I'm looking to see where this goes next, because while this book may have ended, there are a handful of things still up in the air. And dang it! I need answers!

The Eagle Tactical series are the first books I’ve read by Willow Fox. I knew after book 1 that she has a great writing style with a flare for suspense and romance. These things shone bright in Stealth as well. The book is well written and full of suspense, thrilling action and romance.
The Eagle Tactical guys are good at their jobs but are not without some occasional hiccups. Especially when dealing with mafia and gang type enemies. They also love hard, they just don’t always go about expressing it right but that too makes for some great reading.
This is a great series with ongoing issues and romances that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend grabbing up the first two books of the series, Exposed and Stealth, you won’t regret it. Then be on the lookout for book 3, Conceal, coming this summer.
2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars!

Jaxson and Ariella's story continues.
Be warned, their story doesn't end in this book as it is a series.
While Jaxson still struggles with the fact that he isn't allowed to get involved with Ariella, as she is his employee, we are introduced to a new story line: Mason and his blast from the past. She is in trouble and gets message across to Mason that she needs help.
I can't but wonder if this will be another relationship that starts flourishing in the books to come.
However, Jaxson goes against all rules and starts pursuing Ariella again. This had me jumping for joy because Jaxson and Ariella is a gorgeous couple. Ariella is strong and faces quite a few downs again in this book but Jaxson is always there to catch her. He is so protective over Ariella and Izzy!
Definitely worth the read.

Jaxson and Ariella's story continues in this second series book. Now she's working for Eagle Tactical, and Jaxson is her boss, which makes a relationship against the rules. When an email meant for Mason comes through on her computer, a desperate call for help from his former girlfriend, the whole team gets pulled in to locate and rescue Hazel from the man her brother sold her to. Now the whole team is in danger when her mafia fiance comes to Breckenridge to take her back.
Mason was such a jerk to Ariella in the first book that I wasn't looking forward to his story. But I was pleasantly surprised at how sweet he turned out to be.

A very entertaining suspense romance story complete with characters that were down to earth and endearing in their own way. Not having read the first book in the series left me slightly lost but not in a total confusion of the storyline, but certainly has driven me to want to head to the beginning of this series to further understand our heroes and heroine that the series seems to rotate around. A good deal of high octane action sequences throughout and enough twists and turns to keep me glued to wanting to finish this story as quickly as possible.

This is book 2 in the series and follows Hazel (whose step brother Nikolai is a Mafia Don of the Russian Mob and he sells her to Franco who is his 2nd in command and by all means a really horrible man) and Mason (co owner of Eagle Tactital also ex military), Hazel was Masons first love whilst in boarding school together, and enlists Eagle Tactical in a round about way to try and stop her being taken to Russia and never heard from again. This book also carries on with the Jaxson and Ariella romance
This book is very action packed and leaves you wanting more……….

Oh my gosh, this series is just getting better and better...
I am hooked and can't wait to get to the next book! I was so happy to see Jaxson and Ariella were continued on into Mason and Hazel's story. What a story it is...wow. Their story is jam packed with intrigue, bad guy action, good guy action and several states involved. The descriptions of the action taken was so good you can visualize it. I love stories that make me laugh and/or cry, this one had me tearing up for Mason's uncle and everyone hurt. I can't imagine what Lincoln's story will be like. Written by Cindy :)

Stealth is a continuation from Expose, though you don' really have to read it first to enjoy the second Eagle team member's story. And to me that story with Mason is more interesting than the ongoing story with Jaxxson which probably will span all the books before resolution.
There is some action here as the team takes on a new adversary as well as continuing to fight an old one. In the next book it has been hinted there will be yet another and possibly two new opponents. It should be exciting.

Hazel is in danger! Her brother has done the untenable, without any consideration to her. Desperate she reaches out to the only person who can help her. Mason has never forgotten Hazel. When she reaches out for help, he sets out to aid her without hesitation. What unfolds is a story of reconciliation, drama, danger and action.
The continuation of Jaxson of Ariella's story which began in book one. Their story is playing out throughout the series, while each book introduces a new couple.

Book 2 in the series and will definitely want to read in order to fully understand what else is going on with Jaxson and Ariella. This story focuses on Mason having the chance to reconnect with the one that got away, but he has to find a way to keep her safe first.
Story was fast paced and kept me eagerly turning pages as I tried to figure out all the angles. Mysteries are explained by the end. I am really growing to line Eagle Tactical and look forward to reading book 3.

Hazel and Mason where childhood loves until she moved away and he enlisted, now shes in trouble, her mafia step brother Nikolai has sold in her marriage to his second Franco and she enlists the help of the Eagle Tactical when shes about to be kidnapped by her future husband. Can Mason go through hell and back to get his first love? we also see how Ariella and Jaxons new work relationship goes when theres not college romances allowed! well written great book 2 in the series. with more violence action suspense, twists, desires, hot scenes and more! with a HFN ending.
October 2, 2021
I am enjoying this series. The overall storylines of these books appear to be primarily action/suspense with the romance being secondary and somewhere between an HEA, HFN and a cliffhanger. This is not necessarily a bad thing as the storylines are good. Some readers may feel as though the characters are not quite resolved within the book they are featured; however, you do find out a little more about them in subsequent books.

Hazel's brother sold her to the Russian mafia. Hazel doesn't want to be a Russian bride. When she was in boarding school she met Mason and they fell in love. It's been years since they've seen each other. When Hazel is taken by her Russian fiancé, she reaches out to Eagle Tactical for help.
Ariella gets a message from Hazel and tells Mason about it. He immediately said to track her cell phone so he could help her.
Suspense, action, secrets are all in this story as well as romance.

This is the second book of the series that I’ve read and I loved it almost as much as I did the first. I believe that the first book will always be my favorite. I love that the length of the books are short yet cultivating, I just can’t put them down! The only thing that is tedious and annoying is that she leaves you on a cliffhanger so that you have to read the next one. I believe honestly that she should’ve just written a series specifically for Jaxson and Ariella, if she insists on cliffhangers.
April 30, 2021
This book is so full of suspense, intrigue, passion, chemistry, twists, and so much more. I was drawn into the story from the very beginning. I really enjoyed that Ariella and Jaxson’s story is continuing throughout this series. Hazel has so much courage to do what she must to survive. I loved that Mason dropped everything to protect her. I loved everything about this book.

Loved the book it was great, the story was written well and the characters were interesting. This story was about Ariella and Jaxson. Ariella contacted the Eagle Tactical to help her, her brother sold her to the mafia, they have some problems along the way. Jaxson works for The Eagle Tactical, he has been sent to rescue her. He does not do one-night stands, this was one hot book.

September 23, 2021I have read a few books by Willow Fox now, and I love how she incorporates some of the characters from her other books.
This one is a second chance romance filled with turmoil and suspense. The female characters in this book are strong and very stubborn. Which is hard to find in a lot of romance books. I would recommend that you read the first Eagle Tactical book, Expose, but it is still a good standalone read.

So after the cliffhanger, we continue with Jaxon ArielLe and health course we have Mason I really like him don’t like the new female part for him but you know all love interest kind of thing I understand. Still not my favorite sad as heck what happens to his uncle once again another cliffhanger, hopefully somewhere down the line. All of this gets tied together, but I like the guys too much to stop reading

Hazels brother is a jerk and also the head of the mob in Chicago. She's got the Russian mob and her brother after her and the only one who can hopefully keep her safe is Mason. Arielle and Jaxon are still trying to ignore what's between them . Action, action and more action. So good.I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.

This book kind of mixed the story of two set of lovers. The first is Ariella and Jaxson which continues from #1 and Mason and Hazel is new. Hazel is the sister of a notorious gangster who sells her to a compatriot who she hates and Mason is part of Eagle Tactical. They knew each other years ago but lost touch. It's time to reconnect, so read the book!

Good, but sloppy plot holes
Interesting enough, but I don’t like being left wondering what ultimately happened at the resort to resolve the situation or how Skylar walked into the house while Declan was providing overwatch from the roof. Decent plot, but feels like I’m reading the author’s outline part of the time.

Ugh... More bad editing
Well, after reading the first book in this series, I hoped that the editing had improved. No such luck. Sadly I couldn't even finish this book. It was just too much that was too obvious.
I don't like leaving bad reviews but I'm hoping someone will get the message that proofreading and editing books is important.

Enjoyable book
Only four stars because I a prefer clean ending to a book. It’s nice to read a series and this is a good one, but in my opinion, each book should stand alone. The storyline is interesting and the characters are very likable. The series is a few years old so I don’t have to wait for the next book. Otherwise, I would be so annoyed.

I loved how this book picked up from Expose.
I suggest don't read this book UNTIL you read book 1.
It continues with Jaxson and Ariella, but also introduces Hazel and how she fits in with Mason and their past.
I love how there's drama and intrigue, not just full-on romance.
It's an awesome book and I've really enjoyed reading this author.
