Jagger Brooks is the only single operative left on R.I.S.C.’s Delta Team. But after standing on the sidelines while each of his teammates found their “one”, he’s beginning to think maybe he wants something more, too.

And what he really wants is…her.
A ghost from her past is determined wreck their future.
Someone is messing with Natalia, and they’re using the most devastating moment of her past to do it. When her stalker escalates, Jagger all but bullies his way into the stubborn agent’s life.

Natalia is Ryker’s successor as liaison to Jagger’s team. She has a no-nonsense attitude and initially comes across as cold—shaped by her past and by surviving as a woman in a male-dominated field. She carries emotional baggage from a failed mission, with a lot riding on her shoulders. From their very first interaction, Jagger feels something for Natalia. Unfortunately, he’s also a bit of a moron who ignores his instincts and briefly suspects her of being a traitor. Thankfully, this accusation is short-lived and quickly resolved.
The chemistry between them develops slowly, largely because of Natalia. She’s reluctant to pursue anything with Jagger, believing their relationship should remain strictly professional—but that’s easier said than done when the attraction is so strong.
I found the mystery’s plot twist both interesting and heartbreakingly sad. The choice Natalia has to make is a difficult one. What I appreciated most is that she isn’t portrayed as a helpless woman, despite working in the law enforcement world. Unlike many suspense novels—where a capable FMC is weakened just to highlight the MMC’s alpha nature—Natalia remains strong, competent, and fully her own person.

Jagger and Talia
I am always sad when a series ends but, what a wild ride it was! I absolutely am blown away by this story! Anna Blakely has really done an amazing job weaving together a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The action is off the charts awesome. Suspense that has you not knowing whether to cry or scream. Jagger had all but resigned himself to being alone...until Natalia. They have been attracted to each other almost right from the start. However, they both fought it until they couldn't anymore. Their mutual jobs makes things a little tricky. The road to their HEA is anything but easy. There are plot twists that will blow your mind. Prepare yourself, Kleenex and a cold drink will be needed. You're about to go on a roller-coaster ride of emotions that will leave you speechless. You have been warned. Lol. Sorry, no spoilers.

With you
Jagger and Natalia/Talia. Natalia waa introduced a few books back as the new liaison/ handler as Ryker changed positions. She only had a few moments in earlier books, but now we learn about what caused her career change and the fall out that continues to follow her. Jagger is the last single man left in the team and he has been attracted to Talia from the start. Their dialogue is humorous and their journey covers several surprises and emotional ups and downs. Ryker is very present and so is Liam! The introduction of Echo team was exciting as this is a good world full of action and romance. The danger was multi faceted, but not surprising as the story focused so much on those angles. Several characters. Such as Scarlett sound intriguing and I hope we see more of them. A good and easy read!

I enjoyed all of the R.I.S.C. Delta Team books.
I thought I had this book figured out. I knew who the bad guy was, but didn't know how he was getting the information. It all came together with a twist I wasn't expecting. I'm sure the gun/drug smuggler will continue to appear in the next series, maybe, I'm not really sure, I'm just guessing.
Jagger and Talia kept me interested all through the book. Some books with nearly 400 pages or more drag and will literally put me to sleep, but this one kept me turning pages. It has romance, but not so much that it made me say, "Really, they're doing it again?"
I won't go into it in too much detail because I don't want to risk spoilers, but if you like a book with banter, romance, and action with a twist at the end, then definitely get this book. That said, I do wish there were more about Jagger's background.

In this final book of the R.I.S.K. Delta Team series, Jagger is on his most important mission. Keeping Talia safe and proving his feelings for her are real.
Homeland Security Agent Natalia Foster tries to resist her feeling for the sexy R.I.S.K. operative. A series of events pushing them closer together as they try to untangle all the clues. Until the unthinkable happens and Talia is kidnapped. Jagger will need his Delta teammates and even Echo's to help rescue her. All the while, what seemed like a simple rescue becomes a twist no one saw coming.
Anna Blakely knows suspense. She keeps the readers on the edge of their seat with each and every book. This one is no different. And at the very end...a surprise for every Talk Tuesday Angel. IYKYK

PHENOMINAL!!! 5 stars is not enough. Anna Blakely wraps up her Delta Team in an absolute page turner that is so well written you “see” the book play out!
Jagger and Talia make an incredible badass team. Their story has so many twists, turns and unforeseen surprises that it is a must read. After three years of working with the Delta's Talia chooses Jagger as her partner for an op because she wants the best of the best at her back. That choice will lead us on the journey of a beautiful love story that is so action packed with unexpected events you can’t believe the adversity they will overcome to get together.
Loved the adventures of the entire Delta family and meeting the new Echo team who will continue Anna’s R.I.S.C series.
Bravo Anna!!

Jagger
OMG! What a FANTASTIC story. This story is about Jagger and Talia. The beginning of this story is interestingly funny. The casual way Jagger saved the gal in the store - like he was bored. That was interesting enough. Now enter Talia with the Delta Team for a mission that takes us on a very mysterious journey to finding out who Talia's stalker was. The next to last chapter was both shocking and heartbreaking as well as intense. So glad the bad guy was taken care of and Talia was able to find her happy ending with Jagger. FANTASTIC job Anna! I would highly recommend this book. Sad to see that chapter of the Delta Team but anxious for Echo's Team!

I downloaded this book so quickly and then was consumed! Jagger with the southern drawl and swagger falling in love had to epic. Nat is a baddie with her own life experiences that have shaped her. It was a little hard for her to let anyone in so when Jagger inserted himself into her life it kept things interesting! Get ready for an entertaining/wild ride as these two fight for a chance at HEA together. Also got a chance to get a glimpse at Echo team and what we have to look forward to next! I was actually reading on my phone, and I left people on unread part of the day!

Another action packed, romance filled read by this incredible author in Jagger, R.I.S.C. Delta Team's 6th and final installment before we take a dive into the Echo team's adventures next! Jagger and Natalia find themselves working together and the sparks flying! With Talia now finding her own life in danger, Jagger will do everything in his power to protect the woman who has become his everything. With the help of other characters we love, and an introduction to a new team with more adventures, Jagger was a fantastic read from start to finish and I look forward to more action and HEAs.

So good to get back to RISC A must read!
Anna hit a homerun with this last installment of Delta team. Lots of action, twists and turns and heart pounding suspense. She also drops Easter eggs of what's going on with Echo team. For those of us in TT you will not want to miss this one! Jagger and Talia have been on slow burn for years, but when it finally ignites, it goes nuclear!

I absolutely loved this book. Full of secrets, danger, mystery
and lots of suspense. Talk as last mission with the CIA ended
badly and she was blamed. Then she was recruited by Tyler to
take his place as R.I.S.C. handler. She is tough and has earned her place.
Then when they start looking into a case things start happening.
Once you start reading you won't be able to put it down.
I was given a copy and I voluntarily leave this review.

Jagger deserved better
Was mostly about Talia’s past and nothing about Jagger other than him adoring Talia. No character development for him. No inside thoughts about his life and backstory. Out of nearly 400 pages, only ONE love scene (2nd one only alluded to). And the spice was barely there, unlike previous books. So disappointed in Jagger’s story and the end of an otherwise great series (Delta Team).

Awesome end to this series of Delta Team. It was a good romantic suspense that kept us on our toes. Jagger the last one to find his HEA. He now realizes he wants what his teammates have and he now has found it in Natalia “Talia”. It’s a fast paced, well written mystery to an ending of a wonderful series of alpha men. We were introduced to the new R.I.S.C Echo team members in this book too. I look forward to reading them.
January 10, 2026
Wow, this last chapter in Delta series sure amped up the intensity. Definitely did not see all the twists and turns coming, and boy, what an ending! Love, love this family guys and all the new characters we were introduced to. Can't wait to continue this next series spinoff in Echo Team. I've read Anna from the very first R.I.S.C. book and they truly have become family.

What a page turner filled with action, spice, twists and turns! Will love find Jagger & Natalia in this last Delta journey? The past has always haunted Natalia in more ways than she knows but when someone starts stalking her will Jagger be able to find the who, what, where and why? Or do they lose it all because of a ghost from her past?
January 11, 2026
Omg, that was the story of the century....
Loved it,can't wait for the next story. Did you say JETHRO. I love any and all works by Anna Blakely. She has always kept me on my toes. Didn't expect the twist and turns of this story, but wait was definitely worth it.

Full of exciting action, twists and emotions. I loved reading this even though it's the last of this teams stories, thankfully it means a new series is coming. Great comaradre between the characters and they fully back each other up. Page turner, sink in and enjoy the suspenseful ride.
January 15, 2026
The book needed to be edited. There were extra words and missing words. I would have given it 4 stars, except for the editing. The mistakes slowed down my reading.
The book started out kind of slow. But the action did pick up.

Another great RISC read. This time Jagger and Natalia gave us love,drama and mystery.
It was nail biting drama almost from start to finish but ended on a high and not what I thought would happen.
Can’t wait for Echo team.

I loved this book. It brought me back to the reason I started reading Anna Blakely from her first novel. The entire plot was engaging and it didn't feel like there were any steps missing to the HEA.

Great story
This series has had me hooked since the beginning. A great story between Talia and Jagger, with some unexpected twists. There was a sprinkling of some definite grammar/editing errors.

I am in love with the R. I.S.C.Series! Interesting storylines, intriguing characters and lots of heat when the alphas are snared by love.

Twists and turns abound .
The story was fast paced and interesting. There's plenty of action and romance if you're into that kinda thing. Who's not?
