Thunderbird

Hell Yeah! #13

by Sable Hunter, Ryan O'Leary

...Continuing the Hell Yeah! series with the thirteenth book, and starting the Hell Yeah! Equalizers series.

Soulmates.
Twin souls.
Two people destined to be together.
Their journey to love is never an easy one, but when they meet – their hearts beat only for one another.

Kyle Chancellor is a hero, an honest to God hero. After winning the Heisman, he turns down a lucrative career as a professional football player to fight in Afghanistan. Not many know he enlisted because his heart was broken. When his time is up, Kyle comes home to form the Equalizers with the members of former Seal Team 7, they band together to fight battles for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Hannah Montenegro is a woman who has sacrificed her life to help her family, never knowing the joys and freedom a young girl should enjoy. She lives in constant fear of being discovered in a country where she has no citizenship and no hope for the future.

But fate has a plan…the night Kyle comes back to Texas, they meet in a bar where he is drowning his sorrows and she is spreading her wings to learn how to fly. From the moment they touch, the heat between them is undeniable. But unfortunate circumstances separate them and neither dares dream they will see one another again.

Kyle is from a powerful Texas family. Because of his work with the Equalizers, his stance on stem-cell research and internet security, he is the only one surprised to find the people of the Lone Star state want him to run for Governor. Many get behind him, including the McCoys. But the one person he wants at his side eludes him.

Hannah is always on his mind. From the beginning their relationship is complicated, but when she comes back into his life, he grabs onto her with both hands. Politics, a sex tape, immigration issues and a baby complicates their pathway to happiness. But Kyle is the Thunderbird and Hannah is his soulmate in the truest sense of the word. Their journey to love is one you’ll never forget.

A modern day Cinderella story with a twist…

"Thunderbird" is the story of Hannah and Kyle.

Hmm..

There is SO MUCH happening in this book.

We start from dream predictions, and then suddenly we have tragedies, crippling disabilities, immigration scams, patriotic missions, physical abuse, political ambitions, gooey/ cringy sex, secret intentions, blackmail, escape attempts, baby selling rackets, scandals and after loaaaads more drama a HEA.

I just..Cannot.


Whatever.
Safe

Another amazing story in the Hell Yeah series! One thing I love about this series is that no two books are alike! This story is so different from the others, but at the same time, it keeps the genuineness of the McCoy brother’s family and their friends.

Running away to mend a broken heart, Kyle Chancellor, a Heisman Trophy winner, gave up a career playing professional football to become a Marine. After losing her mother to ALS and now having to care for her dying brother, “Hannah Montenegro” must leave her country and cross the border into the United States to get better medical care for her brother. She is treated terribly by her father and she longs to belong and to be loved.

A chance meeting brings these two lost souls together. A series of unfortunate events threaten to keep them apart but “Fate would cause their paths to cross over and over again until their destinies became entwined.”

You will get so caught up in their journey to find happiness, their “twin soul,” that you won’t be able to put this book down. Their amazing love story is emotional and will renew your faith in second chances, fate and the power of love!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ADVENTURE AND ROMANCE

What a fantastic writing and read for this new Equalizer's series. Not only is it a dramatic love story; but an intense story of two peoples past and future lives. As soul mates, once they meet the rest of the story moves quickly and is very suspenseful and addictive. Although they have their happy ever after ending, the book is powerful enough to leave the reader wanting more about these two dynamic individuals.

[Carolyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well that's right up there with Aron and Libby...

I'm so loving this series and this author boy she surely can take you on reading roller coaster. And I'm loving seal team 7 so Hell yeah!

Thunderbird by Sable Hunter
4 out of 5 Stars
Sexy men who are soldiers, football players, they save missing children, are wealthy, cowboys, techies, one’s a pirate, and one falls absolutely in love with his twin soul/soul mate?! Do I need anything else in this review? Just buy the book!!
Seriously, Thunderbird is Kyle’s Tribal name given to him by his mother when he turns 12, she also gives him a prophecy for his future that he will be a leader of men and will find his twin soul who will have dark reddish hair and the bluest of blue eyes. Flash forward and he DOES NOT disappoint! He is everything you would ever want in a leader, strong, honest, thoughtful, intelligent, able to see other’s strengths and encourage them, the only problem is he has lost his twin soul.
Having come back from his time in the Service with the most amazing group of Texas Equalizers/Special Ops Team he decides that he’s going to start a non-profit to help find missing people. But on the night of his return he gets devastating news and goes to a bar to drink away his sorrow. There he meets Hannah/Anna, a beautiful Irish/Hispanic innocent who isn’t quite prepared for Thunderbirds “landing.” Hehe While she feels the incredible pull and the immediate attraction, she is hesitant to give him too much information because she knows she is in the US illegally. So as the night progresses the two find themselves torn apart by fate without a true resolution to their feelings or a way to reconnect.
But being the man he is and with the help of his pirate, techy, cowboy, and other menagerie of Equalizers Hannah/Anna can’t hide forever. Thunderbird will have his twin soul!
This was such a fun, interesting, quick read for me. I loved the group of guys and the character development was phenomenal! I found it interesting that there was so much political and philosophical discussion going on in the book during certain points. Hunter was sure to have differing views so it never felt one sided or like she had an agenda, but I had never read something like that. It gave the characters a different dimension. I would say the altruistic, drop everything and give, behavior was slightly unbelievable after a certain point but I went with it for the sake of fiction. Otherwise it was a great read!

Sable Hunter & Ryan O-Leary - Thunderbird - (Equalizers – Hell Yeah! – Book 13)

A great installment that brings in Ex-SEAL’s from SEAL Team 7 to the story line (Kyle, Micah, Jet, Saxon, Destry and Tyson). These “heroes” form the Equalizers who fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. Way COOL!

The first Equalizer book focuses on Kyle Chancellor who is from a prominent and rich family in Texas. Rachel Chancellor, his mother, is from an Indian tribe out of Thunder Bay in Canada. Rachael had a special gift of seeing someone’s destiny in her dreams. She told Kyle his when he turned 12 years old. That night she told Kyle his ancestry name was Animkii which means “Thunderbird”. Rachel told him that Texas was his destiny and he would become a leader of men and would not fear placing himself in danger to save others. Rachel told Thunderbird that he would meet his “twin soul” and explained that before he came into this world, his soul is divided into two parts and each half is sent out separately into the universe. Then after birth, they spend their days searching for their twin soul/soul mate. Only with their twin soul will he find true peace and contentment.

Ana Lucia Moreno’s mother told her that her heritage is a descendant from William Lamport who was the real Zorro. After Ana’s mother died of cancer, her father became very mean to her and only cared about his son, her brother, Antonio, and told her that he preferred that it was Ana who was diagnosed with ALS, not Antonio. In order to get Antonio help, her father moved his family to America illegally her new name was Hanna Montenegro.

While Kylie was grieving the loss of a friend, Hanna and Kyle meet. No names just a powerful connection between them. When Hanna figures out that the evidence of her and Kyle’s encounter, she doesn’t know how to reach him to let him know. Kyle is also looking for her and has no way of finding her. Kyle and Hanna have many obstacles and struggles to endure before this wonderful story ends.

Don’t miss this action pact and heartfelt story, go ahead and hit the key for “ONE CLICK”. You won’t regret it.

As usual, Sable Hunter has written another fantastic book. I have enjoyed every book in this series. While most of the Hell Yeah series has revolved around the McCoy family, this one is about Kyle Chancellor & his team the Equalizers. And Hannah Montenegro (aka Ana Montero).

Growing up, Kyle was taught by his Ojibwa mother that he is destined for greatness & that he will meet his soul mate & lose her several times before they are finally together. She even describes her as having fiery hair & eyes the color of lapis. When Kyle meets Hannah the first time he is drunk & she saves his life. He realizes that she is someone special just as he is called away. He gets her number but then loses it before he has a chance to call her.

Hannah lost her mother to ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) at a fairly young age. Then her brother is afflicted with the same disease. Her father laments that it is his son with the disease & not his daughter. Hannah loves her brother & devotes herself to his care. At some point, her father decides Andre can get better care in the US so he pays tens of thousands of dollars to get them all over the border, illegally. Hannah is constantly afraid they will be caught. She takes a day job cleaning buildings so she can care for her brother at night while her father works. One night a friend convinces her to go out & she meets Kyle, who can’t seem to get her name right.

I really enjoyed this book & can’t wait to read the stories of Bowie Travis, Jet Foster, & especially Revel Lee Jones.

If you are offended by explicit sex scenes in books, this one is not for you. I found the story great. I cried a few times during the reading of this one. Kyle, is Thunderbird, after the military he starts a group called the Equalizers. They find lost people. He meets Hannah at a bar and when he goes to get his car so they can go for a ride, Hannah saves his life when he steps in front of a truck. He can't believe this little woman saved his life and he is intrigued with her. When she leaves she writes her name and number on a napkin and he puts it in his pocket and looses it. He can't find her and his organization tries. She cleans offices for a living and he sees her again one day in his new office and he moves her into a new job. He is running for office in his state of texas. He comes from money and Hannah feels very much out of her league. They get together and suddenly she disappears again. Her dad takes her very ill brother back to Mexico for treatment and she must go with them. Kyle does not know they are illegal immigrants. This story takes on a sad note as Hannah finds she is pregnant and rejected by her father. He takes her baby and sells it. This is a story of how hard one will fight for survival and to find her baby. You will cry. Then you will cheer. This is a great story

Sable Hunter has done it again, another great book in the Hell Yeah Series!! Kyle Chancellor is handsome and sexy, and on his first day home from fighting in Afghanistan, he finds out the reason his girlfriend broke up with him before he enlisted. Devastated, he tries to drown his sorrows, but instead meets a woman, Hannah Montenegro, who is out for a rare night on the town. Hannah has spent her life, living with and helping her family, never taking time for herself. Kyle would like to get to know her better, he feels drawn to her, but due to circumstances beyond his control, at the end of the night, he has no idea how to find her. Kyle and his friends from Seal Team 7, form a group known as the Equalizers, who fight for others who cannot fight for themselves. Kyle, also runs for Governor of the Lone Star state, and the McCoys back him. Kyle, also known as Thunderbird, never gives up on finding Hannah, and when he does it is a long, bumpy road for the two of them. This series just keeps getting better, loaded with romance, love, family, suspense, good times and bad. If you have not started this series yet, what are you waiting for? As for me, I am eagerly awaiting book 14! Thank you, Sable Hunter for such an awesome series!!

Another FANTASTIC novel from the writing team of Sable Hunter and Ryan O'Leary!!

The most difficult thing about reading a novel from Sable and Ryan . . . having to take time to eat and sleep. Once I begin I just don't want to put it down until I'm completely finished.

Their writing styles blend so well that a reader can't tell who has written what, and I suspect that the things we might think are "obvious" we'd be completely wrong about.

Once again, an emotional journey in the Hell Yeah! series that not only reminds us that a love worth having is worth all the struggles, it also addresses issues that are current and relevant, but does it in a way that is not preachy or judgmental, yet definitely informative. While we aren't all living a life in the spotlight like Kyle and Hannah, we all can relate to and appreciate the struggles that they and many face each day.

If you are looking for a great read that will touch your heart, mind and soul, "Thunderbird", and the entire Hell Yeah! series is a MUST!!

[Jennette · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow! I am very happy with this story. Almost 5 stars. I could truly feel the collaboration between Sable Hunter and Ryan O'Leary. This was a beautiful blend of writing voices. These two authors compliment each other like champagne and strawberries. A little bit sweet and a little bit sinful- I'll let you guess which one is which.
The story takes place over a longer time period than many of the other "Hell Yeah!" books, consequently there was more opportunity to meet and get to know the characters. I loved that each of the Equalizers characters were given enough page time to get me interested in the coming stories without distracting me from Kyle and Hannah's story.
It was nice to see the McCoy family show up, but I am glad they don't dominate the story. This has the feel of a whole new series rather than a continuation of the old. If you are new to the Hell Yeah series and are feeling overwhelmed with catching up on 12 previous stories, you can easily start here and not feel confused. Of course you will enjoy this so much more if you know the characters from the other books.

Thunderbird

I'm going to be honest at first I felt this book was dragging as it required quite a bit of backstory but I stuck with it and I am very glad I it was worth it. This really was a very good book and is a great addition to the Hell Yeah! series.
Kyle and Hannah's story is rather poignant but is also hot. Love at first sight is always so great but when things get in the way and they have to struggle to get back to each other it just makes the story even better.
I loved that Sable brought some important issues into the story. Internet safety is very important but finding the balance between safety, freedom and privacy is very delicate. Putting a face and story to the immigration issue also has a way of making you think about this issue. The stem cell research issue has been a key issue in a lot of this series and it's a worthwhile issue to looked at. I want to thank Sable Hunter for bringing important issues into her stories they add a wonderful element to her books.

[Astraycat · Rating 3 out of 5]

So far, I've read several books of this series and I love most of them. I'm not familiar with the hero, Kyle Chancellor, maybe its because there are too many names mentioned in I'll Remember You(Hell Yeah!, #11) that I just skip them. Anyway, this is an Ok read. Most of Sable Hunter's heroines are miserable in some ways, and I often feel for them. But the heroine, Hannah, suffers so much, so much I want to ask Ms. Sable Hunter can u plz let her find happiness soon? While Hannah reunites with Kyle, I still fear for her cause I don't know when will her secret be revealed. Only when everything comes out do I relax!

In "I'll Remember You", Aron McCoy was rescued with the help of the Equalizers. Here we get to find out more about them and specifically Kyle Chancellor. Kyle meets Hannah Newman Montenegro and feels an instant attraction to her. But to his misfortune he loses her phone number and doesn't even know her full name, so he has no way of finding her. Thoughts of Hannah plague him daily and then luck smiles upon him and a chance encounter reunites him with Hannah. This time Kyle is determined to never let Hannah go. But then something happens that has Kyle wrongly accusing Hannah of something that was not her doing and by the time Kyle realises his mistake it is far too late. Hannah vanishes from his life and he again has no way of finding her. From her side Hannah is hiding a secret that may forever keep them apart. Will Hannah give Kyle a second change and reveal what she has been hiding from him, or will she stay away from him forever?

This is a must read, and could be read as a stand alone book, although I would highly recommend you read the Hell Yeah Series from the beginning as I did. I have loved each and every book so far, all individual but cleverly woven together. Sable Hunter and Ryan O'Leary work so well together, and this was a wonderful story.
Kyle 'Thunderbird' and Hannah his soul mate, their paths cross quite by chance and there lives change forever. However the fickle hand of fate takes them on a bumpy ride, and me on a roller coater of emotion.
I loved the update on the McCoy's, and can't wait to read the stories of the other guys that make up the Equalizer team.

I have been a fan of Sable's books ever since I picked up the first book in the Hell Yeah! series and she delivered another amazing story with this one. I love how all of the stories go together and we always get a chance to see some of the McCoy brother's in every book. This book was amazing and I love the way that she wove the work that the Equalizers do into the story. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

It was not what I was exactly expecting. For some reason I didn't love it as much as previous books from this author. It was good, there where varying topics to keep it interesting... but something was missing.
