Guys! Can I just tell you how much I enjoyed Adam and Vonnie's book?! It was fast paced and sucked me in from the beginning. I loved seeing Adam get his HEA. If anyone deserved it.. it was him. I loved seeing characters from the previous books working together. They really are family. I can't wait to start Jake's book!
Ms. Deel is an amazing storyteller! I know that once I start one of her books, I'll be sucked in and will not get one thing done until I finish the book. I am so glad I found! There's just something about finding new authors you adore! I can't wait to read more by her!
I absolutely adore these two for Vonnie and Adam! What do you think?
Content: Mild violence. Talk of rape but nothing happens. No swearing. Clean romance.. just swoony kisses!
Loved this book! I was completely hooked from the first page, and had a hard time putting it down ever since.
I loved our two main characters, Adam and Veronica. Each has been through a lot and yet they rose above their situations to protect each other and other operatives. The suspense and black ops adventure was phenomenal, and the romance was the perfect compliment to it all.
As usual with this series, I loved seeing former characters, and reading the comical dialogue between characters helped alleviate the constant threat of danger and suspense.
Can’t wait to read more, and this is one I will definitely be reading again!
I am so glad that Adam got his turn for a HEA. Another great story, with lots of action and lots of recurring characters from past books! And the special surprise from Zane and Claire was a great addition to the plot. Love this one as much as the others. It's going on my read again list.
I always wondered what was going on with Adam. Veronica and her rescue was great mission. What a fantastically twisted plot. I loved it and it made great sense as it came to a conclusion. It will be interesting to see what happens next at Fortress! Love Rebecca Deel and her books. Otter creek series is just as good. I want to hear more about Veronicas brother and for Adam to visit her parents!!!! Come on we need to know! Looking forward to what comes next. Write on!
Wonderful! This book was amazing! As I've read all of Rebecca's books this one is just as special! If you haven't read anything from this author you need too. You will not be disappointed! The story telling is so good you can't put it down! Another hit! Can't wait for the next! So happy!💗
You really can't go wrong with this series. I have loved Adam since he was first introduced, and Veronica is the perfect match for him. I love strong and capable heroines, and Veronica can more then hold her own with the Fortress crew. A great romance with an engaging plot... you really can't ask for more! Now I will be eagerly awaiting the next installment!
Adam and Veronica circled each other for a year following her providing the key info that allowed his team to free him from captivity. Now it's his turn to return the favor. Along with Fortress and PSI, they'll destroy a vicious drug cartel, unmask a traitor and find their HEA.
I love this story of Adam and Vonnie. Adam needed a kick butt woman who can be a great team member too. They remind me of Remy and Lily. I am very excited for your next book.
Another absolute cracker. I really look forward to reading all the new books in this connected series. This one didn't disappoint. Couldn't put it down. Now I'm upset that I've finished it. Hurry up with next one please Rebecca.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this latest addition to the series - I actually think it could be one of my favourites. We meet back up with Adam Walker, Claire's brother, and meet the contact who helped save him and she's tough, like Stella and Lily tough. Loved it.
I absolutely love this series and Adam is my favorite character. He is intense and passionate about everything, including his new love. The story was very suspenseful and the romance interwoven just perfect. I'm so happy that he found his HEA.
Another great story. I have enjoyed all of this author's books. The story flows without bogging down, and has lots of action. I just wish Adam had been able to "talk" to Vonnie's dad. Think I'm going to have to start back with the first book, and read through again.
This is book six of a very good series. It is full of thrills that keep you on the edge of your seat. I recommend this whole series. Can't wait to read the last book in the series.
Adam and Vonnie are two tough cookies. Even though it's a fact of life, I hate hearing how bad some children have it. These books always give hope and show there are people who fight for them and how strong the survivors are.
I loved this novel mostly because i love strong women characters. And, Ms Deel has put them all together so very well. Story is obviously strong enough to hold interest till end. I am moving on to her other novels now.
This was a fantastic read. With lots of action, mystery and suspense, this book is was difficult to put down. Loved the characters and the dynamic between the teams too. Def recommend!
I am so glad that I am reading this series it is amazing, loving, mysterious, and sexy as he'll! I would definitely recommend this series to read!😁😁👏🏾👏🏾
We met Adam in previous books, firstly when he was rescued after being kept captive and he was a shattered, broken shell both physically and mentally. We have since seen him gradually rebuild himself and as he has slowly revealed more and more of himself he has slowly stolen more and more of our hearts. In this book he quickly steals the last pieces of our heart, he has fought his way back to full fitness and is now ready to lead his own team - the last thing he expects is to have to lead a team in to rescue the DEA agent who saved him......the woman he owes his life to. Vonnie has kept tabs on Adam since she helped locate him but when she is taken captive and tortured, the last person she expects to come sweeping in to rescue her is Adam. Although this is the first time they actually meet, there is an instant bond, sparks that cannot be denied or resisted however to stay alive they need to keep the sparks under control and work together to finally destroy the enemy that has targeted them both. Together they will have to face their worst fears and tackle their demons, although they will of course have the back up Fortress and Adam's new team! Can you guess who they are? This series is an amazing read anyway but I have read them all on Kindle Unlimited which makes them a total bargin!
A "Resurgence" of interest - YES!!! Now this is how a well written, action packed, romance book is written! My interest in this series (as well as Otter Creek) was starting to wan due to the endearments the characters were CONSTANTLY calling each other. It got to the point of being ridiculous. But Mrs. Deel greatly diminished those in this book and I was thrilled to focus entirely on Adam and Veronica's story, which held my attention until the wee hours of the morning. Especially Adam and Veronica's first kissing scene.....WHEW!!! My tablet almost melted from the heat between them! :-) More of those scenes...PLEASE! I'm once again hooked, and look forward to many, many more books.
I LOVE this series and the Otter Creek series. Each book has wonderful characters who are strong, loyal, fearless, and loving, and the stories always have excitement and a love story. This is Adam and Veronica's story. Another wonderful, enjoyable book.
