DARC Ops #11
Dark Deception
He was never meant to fall for her.
Asher Marshall is a ripped, sexy and trained-to-perfection military man with a job he doesn't speak about. Ever. There's a reason for his secrecy - Asher works for DARC Ops, an elite paramilitary organization that works behind the scenes, never leaving a trace.
He’s a trained professional. But his new task is making him rethink just how professional he can be.
When he crosses paths with hacker Ellie, he stumbles upon a case that could ruin both their lives, if the people hunting her don’t kill them first. Asher is left with no choice but to kidnap the woman he's falling for - and she's not coming willingly.
A wallflower hacker finds something she shouldn't have.
Ellie Jespersen is a sweet but nerdy young woman. No one suspects she has a secret talent - she's an extremely talented hacker.
When Ellie finds out about a mercenary group running secret tasks for the government, she doesn't stop digging. Uncovering secret after secret, Ellie gets herself in a world of trouble. She’s certain the group of people after her are a part of the Guardian Knights, and they’re illegally selling weapons. And not knowing who Asher works for makes Ellie even more wary of his true intentions.
Despite Asher's warnings, Ellie won't back off. By the time she realizes she’s put them both in mortal danger, it might just be too late…
Dark Deception can be read standalone and contains no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after, guaranteed.

Another DARC Ops Winner
I love this story! It has dark intrigue, suspense and hot, steamy sex! Yes, a winning combination. Asher and Ellie are thrown together under unusual circumstances. Ellie isn’t sure if Asher is one of the good or bad guys, but has to learn to trust him as they go on the run. The more time they spend together, their attraction pulls them closer.
Be sure to start at book 1 and enjoy the entire series. The DARC Ops team grows and expands with each book. You will love these strong, alpha males who only want to protect their fierce, talented women. You will be counting the days till the next release like I do!!

Escaping the bad hackers
Asher was one of the newest members of the darc and his assignment now was to babysit a hacker and find out what she known about the company and while freezing outside he finds that he is not the only one watching her. Except he was the good guy and this person was bas. Ellie was doing everything she could to get away from Asher cause she had no idea why someone was after her but once some life threatening things happened over the day or two she realized asher was good and they both needed to stay alive long enough to figure out who and what they are covering.

He was her "secret" bodyguard, of sorts. He was DARC Ops on a mission right here in the northeast part of the US. At first it sounded boring but then came the time he wished it wasn't so dangerous for Ellie, the computer nerd. This story has excitement, danger and romance. All she had done was "hack" into the crime world and then her world got smaller. It's exciting and an excellent story-line. As there were several errors, typos, etc. I'm sorry I had to mark it down a star. Ordinarily, this author does a magnificent job.

When hacking goes wrong, who do you trust?
For Asher it should have been a case of simple surveillance. Nothing about Ellie is simple. Although they have an intense connection, Ellie is a hacker and has drawn the attention of the wrong people. Can Asher and the Darc ops team work together to protect Ellie before her hacking becomes her downfall? Drawn into a dangerous journey of secrets and lies, its time to root out the truth and trust in Darc ops to be there when they are needed the most.

Totally WorthThe Read!
Absolutely loved this story, Ellie hacking into things she shouldn’t have and Asher a member of DARC Ops, having to watch over her, per Jackson’s orders. They were being chased and in the midst fell for each other. She was taken hostage by some bad people after their jeep was rammed. Asher was injured but that didn’t stop him and DARC Ops from going after her and saving her. This was an awesome story!

And the job must go on.
This may be book 11, but Jamie is still making them as great as the first one. I love how there are the same characters making a supporting cast, with new lead characters, new jobs, and no cliffhanger. Ellie and Asher make a great team and our hot while they do it. They are in danger, on the run and fighting for their life.

This one has definite wow factor. Ellie Jesperson has stepped on the wrong toes and now the guardian knights want her help or want her dead. Darc Ops is watching her back. Asher is sworn to protect her but she has a mind of her own. There is something for in the latest DARC OPS offering. suspense, romance, sex, and hi speed chases and daring rescues. You won't be disappointed I wasn't!

A hard journey
I can't believe another great DARC Ops story.Asher and Ellie sure had a very difficult journey. I was wondering when the team was coming in to help.

I really liked Asher. I can't imagine how many wounds this poor guy received protecting Ellie. They seemed to fall into love quickly.
