Rate this book
Tyler Mason didn’t do relationships. The only people he cared about in life were his Raven teammates with Onyx Black Ops. Until Mira.

Mira loved her job as an Onyx intel officer. She had a career plan, and it did not involve relationships, kids, and white picket fences. Until Tyler.

A harmless flirtation soon leads to a temptation, neither can resist. That one night, changes everything. As Mira struggles to deal with the consequences, Tyler is forced to confront a past he has tried years to forget.

When an arch enemy of Onyx rears its head and Mira’s life is at stake, Tyler relives every fear, every torment from his past. Believing history is repeating itself, Tyler finds himself torn between his team, Mira, and revenge.

Determined to protect Mira, Tyler turns his back on the people that mean the most to him. Helplessness made him a victim once. He will not let that happen again. He might not be able to change his past, but he can help change the future. Protect the woman he just might be in love with and the team he calls family. Even if that means he loses them forever.

Born in London, UK, I now live in the beautiful Niagara Benchlands Region in Ontario, Canada.
Writing is my happy place, my passion, my love. That thing I do and five hours seem to pass in five minutes.
An avid reader of many romance genres, I am also a lover of biographies.
I confess I love a book that takes me away from reality into a place where great words and creative imagination meet.

My dream has always been to create stories that take my reader to a different world, out of their everyday existence. A world of alpha men and strong women, with romance, action, drama, tension and a little spice. Feel those strong arms reach out from the pages and engulf you in a hug and take you away from reality.

I can't wait to introduce you to the guys and girls of the Onyx Black Ops series. They have become a part of my life and I am forever surprised by the journeys we are going on together.
This series takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, is full of action, suspense, trauma, love and lust before getting to the happy ever after. Are you ready to be transported into a world of heroes and heroines, masculine men and kick ass feminine women? Enjoy.

The book fulfilled all my expectations and I enjoyed it. This is a story about a man who takes justice into his own hands to protect those he loves.

--

. Reborn had made this personal. They’d come after Raven more

than once now. His family. He was no longer a helpless child or

teenager. He was an Onyx, no, a former Onyx special operator. Best

in the world. He was done being told what he could and couldn’t do.

Done seeing people he cared about hurt and standing on the sidelines. If it meant his career was over, he was fine with that. It was time

to direct all this anger, this frustration he felt on the people that deserved it.

This story is a emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. If you like books with angst, anger, childhood baggage and lack of self worth this is the book for you. The author combines very negative issues with love, brotherhood and family and you will not put it down. The character development is enticing and intense. So well written that you know these people and care about them. This is basically Tyler and Mira's story entangled with characters you already know in the Onyx Black Ops team. That being said the books can be read as standalones but the story is fuller and so much richer if read in order.
Tyler and Mira are both employed by the same people and have a very easy casual relationship that they are both resisting. As they work through their issues they are also going after a terrorist group trying to destroy their team. This was an enthralling book and I definitely will read the rest of the series.

Well-written story full of emotions, angst, personal demons to overcome, action, suspense, danger, and romance. Tyler and Mira had chemistry in spades and fought hard for their HEA.

I loved watching Tyler’s growth through the book and the vulnerability he shares with Mira and his team while dealing with his past. I loved how the rest of the team has his back, supports him through his journey and rallies for him when he takes matters into his own hands.

No Going Back is a great addition to the Onyx Black Ops series and I’m looking forward to the next.

"No Going Back" by Wendy Justine, the third installment in the Onyx Black Ops Series, delivers a gripping and emotionally charged story that will keep readers hooked from beginning to end. This series continues to elevate with each book, and "No Going Back" is no exception.

The story revolves around Tyler Mason, a member of the Raven team with Onyx Black Ops, who has always shied away from relationships. That is until he meets Mira, an Onyx intel officer with her own reservations about love and commitment. A flirtation between them quickly escalates into something deeper, changing both of their lives forever.

Wendy Justine crafts a well-written narrative filled with raw emotions, personal struggles, and the ever-present tension of danger and suspense. The characters are compelling, each battling their own demons while navigating the complexities of their growing relationship. Tyler's past comes back to haunt him when an enemy threatens Mira's life, forcing him to confront his fears and make difficult choices.

As the stakes rise, Tyler finds himself torn between his loyalty to his team, his love for Mira, and his thirst for revenge. The internal conflicts and external threats keep the story moving at a thrilling pace, leaving readers on the edge of their seats.

"No Going Back" is a fantastic addition to the Onyx Black Ops Series, blending action, romance, suspense, and intense emotions into a captivating read.

Wendy Justine - No going back

This is the 3rd in the Onyx Black Op series and is a romantic suspense. Based on a team of special operators, this book follows Tyler and Mira.

Tyler has had a turbulent life so far, teaching him that everyone her loves ends up hurting him. Mira is focused on her job, but Tyler has caught her attention and they are heavy and the flirting, chatting and sexting. With both of them not looking for a relationship, and old enemies coming out the woodwork, can they get out of their own way to find each other.

I really felt for Tyler's character, he has been through so much, and although he has successfully managed to 'lock it down' circumstances work against him and Pandora's box is cracked.

My heart aches for Mira, she figured out what she wants early on, but Tyler is fighting his own battle and determined to do it on his own.

The over arching story remains on the group 'reborn' and the Onyx fight to end their terror plots.

With twists and turns in the story line, this is a fast paced romantic suspense which is well worth the read.

Tyler and Mira flirted and continued to stay in touch through all the missions Tyler was on. The flirting became more and lead to some amazing times. But Tyler had a horrible upbringing, and it makes him believe he is not capable of loving anyone as it hurts too much when they are gone. He mistakenly blames himself for his mothers and a good friend’s death. It’s his nature to assume he is the reason. Things go back and forth with his team, Sam, Dex, and Mira. He frequently is hot and cold with Mira and lucky for him Mira does not give up easily or runs as easily as does Tyler.

Mira is hurt in a bombing of an FBI building, and he falls apart and goes back to blaming himself for everything. He is a hair breath from dying when his team finds him and rescues him. They finally get the answer to why he is the way he is, and he understands family is what you make of it good and bad, they always have your back. But does he get the girl? She is majorly upset with him and needs answers, but will he give them? Have to read it to find out. But love this series and can’t wait for the “next man up. “

Book three in this great series and the fight against Reborn continues....

We met Mira and Tyler in the previous books. The chemistry and flirtations between the two was off the charts, but because they both want to focus on their careers, -Mira is an Intel Officer for the Onyx Black Ops Team and Tyler is part of Raven-, they agree not to go for a relationship and have just one night of fun together. Soon however lines blur and feelings start to develop, especially for Mira. Tyler carries a lot of hurt from his past, is more reluctant, even pushes her away.

But when Reborn attacks and hurts their own, Tyler totally spirals out of control and disappears. What follows is a race against time to get the people they love to safety whilst hunting down the people responsible for the attack.

This was a story full of action, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out if Mira and Tyler would get their happy ending.

*I kindly received a copy of this book by Booksirens. This is my honest opinion.*

No Going Back Onyx Black OPs: Book 3 by Wendy Justine

The attraction between Tyler and Mira was off the charts but neither wanted a serious relationship, or so they thought, until lines were crossed. Mira a former CIA analysis wanted to focus on her job as an integral part on the Onyx Black Ops team as an Intel Officer and Tyler a former member of SEAL Team 6 and now an important part of Raven team had some deep rooted trust issues from his troubled past. Soon the danger, death and destruction from REBORN is hitting way too close to home and Tyler spirals. As the teams race against time to rescue their own, Tyler, not thinking clearly decides to take matters into his own hands. Has Tyler gone too far off the rails to realize how good life can be with Mira by his side and will love ultimately triumph in this well written series addition.

I am loving this series. This book follows Tyler and Mira as they both work for Onyx; Tyler is Spec ops and Mira is an analyst.

They have been sexting back and forth for quite some time but for Tyler it can't go any further as he believes he is not relationship material.

His past plays a huge part in how he views relationships as he belives everyone he has loved in the past has left him.

As time goes on with the hot sexting, one night Mira decides to take it further with Tyler and states they should go ahead just once.

For her it's mind blowing and for Tyler he feels the same, but as usual his past gets in the way.

Then Reborn rears it's ugly head and a bomb takes out an FBI office where Mira is. Things take a turn for the worse for Tyler as he goes off book and leaves his team to try and take down Reborn on his own.

This book has lots of suspense, thrills and overall, a fantastic read. I definitely recommend this book.

After the hot, hot, hot flirtations between Tyler and Mira you can't help but root for them to start dating. But both of them have their reasons for not wanting to be in a relationship. For Tyler, it has to do with his personal history and for Mira it's that her career has to come first. Or so they think. And while these two think they are being discreet, everyone around them sees what is going on.

This story definitely tugs at your heartstrings with everything that Tyler had to deal with growing up. Thankfully he has supportive people in his life to call him out and steer in the right direction to get help. I loved how the range of emotions between the team members was shown and that in spite this they were a team and had each other's backs. And thankfully Tyler and Mira got their HEA.

The third book in the Onyx Black Ops Series focused on the blossoming relationship between Mira and Tyler two members of the same black ops team. I thought the added element of the main characters both being on Onyx was the perfect change up in the series—a workplace romance on steroids because they are in life and death situations throughout the story. There was the perfect amount of suspense and steam between Mira and Tyler to keep the plot moving steadily. When I’m reading books from this series, I almost feel like I’m watching a new episode of a favorite tv show, especially because the rebel faction Reborn and the trouble they cause is an important part of each book. This is truly a romantic suspense book and I can’t wait to see what Wendy Justine has in store for the next book in the series!

Wow! Kind of speechless! This was such a heart felt, emotional story that was action packed also.

Tyler is part of the Onyx Black ops team gets triggered by an incident and turns away from everyone even Mira.

I loved Tyler. It was great to read such a strong character who had to face his own vulnerability. How he approaches that and his recovery was done really well and how Mira comes into it was excellent. These two had a great connection despite all of what Tyler was going through. And his team were such a wonderful addition. I love that team spirit!!

Extremely well done on every level that I can't wait for more to come. So hard to put down and I just revelled in such an open story.

Fantastic work Wendy!!

Another brilliant book in this exciting series, and another book I simply couldn't put down. This instalment follows Mila and Tyler who we had met as work colleagues in previous books. After the hints and the flirting between the two in previous books, I was hoping that they would reach their HEA.
This book is not only a fast paced thrilling romance, but also really dials up the emotions and tugs the heart strings. To sum up, this story has it all, romance, excitement, a thrilling plot and likeable characters not only in Mila and Tyler but also their team members. I have only recently discovered Wendy Justine but goodness I will now be author-stalking until the next book comes out. A highly recommended read.

From the teaser at the end of No Mistake I eagerly awaited Tyler and Mira’s story and have not been disappointed.
Despite their connection, and the hot and heavy goings on between Tyler and Mira they both see things going nowhere, both for different reasons. However for them to get a HEA Tyler has a hard road to walk, and he’s got just the people to have his six, and help him reconcile his past.
Old enemies coming out the woodwork also make this a fast paced romantic suspense with twists and turns in the story line I’ve come to expect from this new author. Loved it and am now eagerly awaiting book 4.

Tyler and Mira work together, he's an agent out in the field, she works at the farm helping with intel. He doesn't do relationships, everyone he's loved has left him, she's concentrating on her career and doesn't have time yet to get serious about anyone, although the sparks between them have been noticed by the rest of the team. Then the worst happens and Mira is put in danger, Tyler decides to take things into his own hands, leaving his team behind, he thinks he isn't worthy of their help. Can they find him? Can they reach him in time?

Tyler has past issues keeping him from getting close to Mira. Mira doesn’t want a relationship, but after one night, things change for her. Unfortunately, things didn’t change for Tyler. Before Tyler can speak with Mira to try to fix their friendship, Reborn makes itself known again. Reborn will just not leave the team alone, and this time, they have gone a little too far. Will the team be able to recover from this last attack from Reborn?

I have to say that each book keeps getting better and better. This might be my new favorite in the series, and I can’t wait to see what the next book brings.

There are times when the actions of your past make it difficult to move forward.

Tyler is one such person, he's committed to his team, but is he brave enough to take on a woman? Not in his mind.

Mira is a team member who he has a sexting relationship with, then one day Mira is in a bombing and Tyler loses the plot. He blames himself for what happened then takes off, thank the pope that his team realises what he is up to and they track him down.

This is a story about recognising that your past does not define you, that being in a committed relationship can heal you.

This is a Romantic Suspense, and this is the third book in the Onyx Black OPs series. I have read the first two books in this series before picking up this book, but I do think you could read this book as a standalone. I really loved the characters in this book. Tyler's character shows what happens when you are a kid never goes away, and you will have to face it sometime. I really loved the storyline in this book. The romance was good, but I loved Tyler's story so much. This book touched me so much. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

This is the 3rd book the Onxy Black Ops Series.

We have watched as the chemistry between Tyler and Mira grew over all the books. They keep reach out and almost cross the line to only pull back. Their one night will forever change everything. Tyler has struggled with his past and when Mira is hurt in an attack he spirals out of control.

This is a story of healing and fighting the demons of the past. Learning that everyone is worthy of love and understanding. This book is full of action, pain, and strength. It’s a must read you will love Tyler and Mira as much as I did.

An awesome story. Tyler works at Onyx Black Ops with Mira. Neither want a relationship and flirt like crazy with each other. They agree to a no string fling and things change after they have sex. Mira is falling in love and Tyler doesn't know what to do with that. He has a lot of baggage from his childhood that is causing problems with his team and MIra. What happens when he is overloaded and overwhelmed with everything that is happening? I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

No Going Back us the 3rd book in the Onyx Black OPS series and I highly recommend reading the books in order for context on all the characters and the continuing suspense plot. Tyler and Mira are both members of the team and struggling with their growing feelings for each other. Tyler especially is fighting demons in his head from his childhood and the biggist part of the story revolves around those. There are also moments of nail-biting suspense, incredible teamwork and a HFN with a hint of what's to come next.

No Going Back was my first Wendy Justine book. Even though this was the 3rd book in the series, I felt like there was enough back story that I didn't feel lost not having met the characters before. I thought the story flow was a little slow, but about halfway through it picked up and kept the suspense high all the way to the end. I liked the characters and I thought the story was good.

Tyler and Mira have excellent chemistry that translates into something more, if they can only get out of their own way. The story is part of the overall arc in the fight against Reborn and is a good blend of romance, action, and suspense. I do get a little bit tired of the whole Hero With A Tortured Past Who Can’t Do Relationships, but the emotion was effective, and I did feel bad for Tyler.

Tyler & Mira has us spinning from the get go. Be it sexual tension or the pain of overwhelming emotions. You can feel the frustration, anger, pain & love these characters felt along the way. This is a team you know & love. Sam definitely is a champion boss. Again Wendy does an amazing job of making us feel so much for her characters. Read & get immersed. Honest review!

I adored this heartfelt romance!

So much emotion packed into one story! Tyler and Mira are coworkers who start a no-strings-attached friends-with-benefits situationship when it becomes clear their mutual attraction is irresistible. Tyler's oversized U-Haul of emotional baggage keeps him from considering anything more serious, and as his backstory comes out it becomes clear that he's got solid reasons for keeping his emotional distance. Naturally, they start off by setting ground rules, which of course become merely a list of rules to be broken. And I loved every bit of it!

I really loved that the author chose a few non-traditional (for romance books, anyway) approaches to her characters, including the fact that Ty is decidedly not "well over six foot tall" like it seems every hero is lately but he's still sexy AF, and that Mira is above all else insistent on open and honest communication, even if it means hearing things she really doesn't want to hear.

There is quite a bit of nail-biting action and suspense in this story, but I will assure you that Ty and Mira get their HEA in the end. They both have to put a lot of work in first, especially Ty, resulting in a very long physical and emotional journey until they're both ready for the next step.

These characters are so well-written that I felt every fear, every heartbreak, every panic-driven moment with them. I have absolutely loved getting to know the Onyx team and I am positively hooked on this amazing series. I heartily recommend this book, series, and author. If you read romantic suspense or military romances, you can't miss this series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
