Stealth Ops #1
Finding His Mark
She's crashed the biggest party of her life, and she's about to pay the price.
As the leader of an off-the-books black ops SEAL team, Luke Scott can't afford for anyone to discover the truth about who he is or what he does. But when a critical mission gets botched by a member of an iconic Hollywood family, he'll have to fight to protect his team's identity, as well as keep himself from falling for the woman who's turned his life upside down.
Eva Sharp's the writer and co-producer for the hit TV series SEAL Security. While on break from filming, the last thing she expects is to end up in the middle of a real-life action scene--one that puts her life on the line. At first, she's not sure if she can trust this stranger in the mountains, even if he has military written all over him. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it is to fight the pull of attraction, without also jeopardizing his op.
They'll soon realize not everything is as it seems, and Luke will be forced to discover how far he's willing to go to find his mark.
A standalone novel in the new romantic suspense series, Stealth Ops.

DNF at 40%. The writing was OK. I’m a big fan of military romance, and I don’t mind suspending some believability for a good story, but I’m putting this book down because after less than 48 hours (of storyline) this super SEAL/Black Ops/BestOfTheBest Operator is spilling mission secrets. Not to mention the fact that it took 40% of the book to get us through 48 hours of “action”. Really, there was about 5% action and the rest was...
Her: Tell Me.
Him: No.
*Her internal monologue about how hot he is.*
Her: Tell Me.
Him: No.
*His internal monologue about how she makes him hard.*

Luke Scott always puts his career and his nation's safety first, there's no room for relationships with those outside his team. His job, the operations he takes, they're as classified as it gets and there is no room for error. Set to play bait, Luke is unprepared for the beautiful, smart woman who puts a wrench in the plans and leaves him playing babysitter.
Eva Sharp is happy in her role as a writer and co-producer on the hit TV show, SEAL Security; she's behind the scenes, she's writing, she's making it on her own. She just needs some peace and quiet to finish her next screenplay and while she loves the action of SEAL Security she never expects to go through it in real life. Stuck in the mountains with handsome stranger, Luke, she has to put her faith in him to protect her from whatever else may come their way.
Soon both realize it's more than an op and more than just protection, their feelings are on the line and there's secrets brewing.
"This was a serious plot twist in her life, and she was damn sure there'd be no happy ending."
Holy moly, I read this book like I binge watch television shows, glued to the pages, gasping at the action, and swooning over every smutty moment. Brittney Sahin brings this story to life with a set of characters you can't help but want to know and action that leaves you on the edge of your seat. It's the best kind of romantic suspense and, for longtime fans, reminds us why Brittney Sahin is a one-click author in the genre. I could picture Luke and Eva the minute we met them in Finding His Mark, their descriptions making them come to life in my mind.
"I'm always prepared for every situation." ... "I just didn't prepare myself for meeting you."
Luke: muscular, closed off, handsome, a bit broken.
Eva: brilliant, beautiful, a bit of a romantic, and tough than she appears.
The two are drawn to one another, each the owner of a temper and too much pride for their own good, but set on a dangerous path once Eva is pulled into the operation. The story could be easy, boy protects girl and everyone ends up alright, but emotions and lust are involved and a cabin in the Poconos only amps the chemistry brewing between the two. It's a push and pull between the two and though disaster is imminent neither can deny the need for the other.
"'Get ahold of myself?' A broken attempt of laughter left his lips. 'This is why I have rules ...'"
I loved the mix of romance and suspense in Finding His Mark. Through all the chemistry and lust burning between the two there is still a serious mission going on that threatens the safety of Eva and the safety of Luke's team. There is a lot of ops talk, making Luke's role as a SEAL so believable. I laughed every single time someone said classified. Plus, Luke's team is as SEAL as they come in a novel. They're tattooed, they're brash, and they're willing to risk it all to succeed, except when a civilian gets in the middle. I loved every single secondary character and I even more so loved the action packed journey we go on with Eva, Luke, and his team.
Finding His Mark doesn't waste any time in throwing you into the action and it's a spectacular first novel in the Stealth Ops series from Brittney Sahin. The suspense fills every single page, and the romance is a cherry on top of the bullet filled sundae. If you like your romantic suspense hot and steamy and amped with tension, Finding His Mark is the book for you.

Eva is the daughter of a famous Hollywood movie director/producer; she wants to prove to herself that she can make it in Hollywood on her own, so she changes her name and works on a TV show about SEALs. When her show wraps four days early so she can start her three week break right away, she decides to ignore the conditions on the rental contract she agreed to for five times her normal asking price and go to her property and stay in her cabin – because the renter indicated he was only going to use one but wanted both empty for the duration of his rental. And so she goes only to be caught in the clash of a dangerous mission. The man who rented the property, Luke, is a member of an off-the-books government strike team who works domestically and internationally, and they’ve used her property as a base for a trap of their own. When Eva is exposed and kidnapped, Luke must abandon the mission to save her, and because she is now compromised, continue to keep her with him for the next three weeks until everything can be resolved and cleaned up. And of course, because this is a romance novel, there is some sex and the eventual falling in love mixed in as well.
On paper, the concept of this story doesn’t sound too bad … after all, based on it alone I did download it from Kindle Unlimited to read it. But OMG this book was so bad! Let me list just a few examples (in no particular order):
These are just some of the issues I had with the book, but I think that should be sufficient to highlight why I can’t believe I just wasted so much time on it. I have absolutely no desire to keep reading this series, or anything from this author again.
On paper, the concept of this story doesn’t sound too bad … after all, based on it alone I did download it from Kindle Unlimited to read it. But OMG this book was so bad! Let me list just a few examples (in no particular order):
(1) It's just so unbelievable it is cringe-worthy. There is a covert military unit that only the CIA director, the President, and two others know about – one of which is the Middle-man / handler who selects all their missions. Discretion is key, and they even lie to their family about what they do – claiming they have all retired from the military. And yet, the analyst who runs a background on the property doesn’t realize it is owned by a person living her own double life until hours after the mission failed because of that person? And then when that person (Eva) has to be kept safe because now she is a target, Luke just blabs (within hours of meeting her, and then again later within days/weeks) by giving her all sorts of information about himself, his mission, the team, the target, etc. There is a way to give someone enough information to keep them safe without violating all sorts of rules. And so she needed to be kept safe… and Luke’s cover is a security company. So why couldn’t he hire the real ex-Seals to put this woman on lock-down while he salvaged the mission? Oh, because he fell in love with her and wanted to keep her next to him so he could keep screwing her after every near death experience? Right…
(2) And if you can get past the cringes, then you have an issue with just common sense logic!Are you kidding me?
(3) It was so predictable! I know this is a series, and so typically in the first book you allow the readers to meet the “team” so you know where the rest of the books will be headed. But this book just crammed that possibility down the reader’s throat, especially when Luke is telling Eva he wants her to get along with his military family so she is never alone, and she responds: “I have you. And Jessica. And the guys. And hey, maybe they’ll even get a chance to fall for someone now, so then there will be more women in the group.” But wait, it get’s better… because after a second near death experience, as Eva and Luke are about to have sex, “Her eyes flashes closed as a glimpse of the future caught her mind – of her in a pale blue dress with a baby bump.” That's right, as she is laying there in anticipation of sex, having just survived an ordeal, knowing he won’t be using a condom and she is anticipating having the child of a man she has known for less than a month. Que the inevitable fight, break-up, moping, eventual getting back together and then within the epilogue, bam! they announce she is pregnant. Really? You don’t say…
(4) Did anyone edit this book? While I didn’t catch glaring typos, there was just too many pieces that should have been cleaner. For example, Eva is working on set in Virginia, and is renting a place on the beach. Virginia is on the east coast of the United States, which enjoys beautiful sunrises. So when Luke takes Eva down to the water while he is trying to declare his love, the sun is not going to be “slipping from the sky, casting a sheet of orange light across the surface of the water.”
These are just some of the issues I had with the book, but I think that should be sufficient to highlight why I can’t believe I just wasted so much time on it. I have absolutely no desire to keep reading this series, or anything from this author again.

And voilà another winner by Brittney Sahin! Where were you all these years? Seriously!? How come Brittney’s book are not more known?
The books she writes always hit their mark! Hell they are all so good I wanna keep talking about them for days!! And that’s when you know you have someone to follow. And that’s when you know there needs to be some kind of justice because some authors are not seen/known at their worth! Brittney is definitely one!
Her writing always got your attention after a few pages, dare I say a few sentences? The worlds she build is complex, especially here in this « Stealth op » series; her characters are all endearing and riveting and her plots are always engaging.
In Finding His Mark we have Luke and Eva, both hiding from their life in their own way. How they meet is certainly original, and it will lead to events none of them would expect or even think about.
I loved both characters because they had similarities and that’s what brought them close. You don’t see them at first and once again that’s the magic with Brittney’s writing. Two characters who doesn’t seem to share much, just click in more ways than one to be this couple you know you will support all along.
Luke as a SEAL is living a lonely life. Dedicated, focus and in charge, he has to decide what his next move will be. How far he’s willing to go for feelings he wasn’t prepare to have.
Eva found herself in a dangerous position which will bring her to think about the decisions she made in her life. Strong, fierce, stubborn, she isn’t a naive heroine you can easily manipulate. She has a mind of her own and she is not afraid to stand for herself!
The series starts with a boom! Finding His Mark is full of actions and revelations. Once you start you won’t want to stop! Grab a seat, take some popcorns, start reading and let Brittney embarks you on this journey like you would watch your favorite tv show.
The best part is without a doubt the fact there will be more books in the series and I’m already anticipating some characters... Asher (!!!) to name only one.

Stars: 4

Ending: HEA
Re-read? No
I thought this was a good read. It was really well written and well plotted. However, there is so much other stuff going on that I wouldn't classify this as just a romance. If I wanted to read something purely for romance, this isn't something that I would pick up. It was good and interesting but it was definitely a 50/50 combo of romance and intrigue/suspense. There's nothing wrong with that, just know it before you go in. It's a long book so it's a bit of a time commitment if you were looking for some straight up romance. I liked Luke a lot and could understand where he was coming from. I did kind of want to smack Eva in the face. She was kind of annoying. The girl could not stop asking questions. I understand inquisitive people but there comes a point where you need to just go along girl. That point might be when terrorists with guns are chasing you. But hey, maybe that's just me.

Rushed
I don't know if it was just me, but everything seemed convoluted. From the op down to the romance, it was all very rushed in storytelling and explanation. Did someone out a word limit on this publication?
Not bad for the author's first installment but I won't be reading any more of this series.

This book is quite decent and enjoyed it - I just don't get why there is a baby at the end of every romance novel 😂😂 deducting a star for that because honestly it is a trend that I dislike. Continuing with this series - the authors writing reminds me very much of a modern Nora Robert's- and I really cant give a better compliment to an author than that.

A fun romantic suspense that had plenty of action, romance, and danger for our main damsel in distress. Definitely continuing the series of this one, with excellent writing and strong characters. A solid 4 ✨!

The first book in the Stealth Ops series by Brittney Sahin. Eva Sharp finds herself caught in a deadly situation. Luke Scott is the leader of black ops SEAL team, working off the books, of course. When Eva comes along, he has no choice but to take her with him to keep her alive.
It was a pleasant and entertaining read. I think I will try this writer again.

Finding His Mark es mi primera lectura de la autora, y muy a mi pesar no fue lo que esperaba. La trama tenia muchisimo potencial, podia haber sido un libro muy memorable pero en mi opinion le falta chispa y accion, toda la narracion es lineal y yo extrañe que hubiera mas intensidad y emocion al ser una novela de suspense romantico.
En lo relativo a la pareja protagonista tambien tengo algun que otro pero, ellos como personajes estan bien, tal vez les falte mas profundidad en ciertas ocasiones pero no fue un punto que me molestara especialmente, lo que no me convencio de Eva y Luke fue que a mi juicio su relacion se da de manera muy precipitada, a penas se conocen y ya tienen sentimientos el uno por el otro, se que muchos diran que al vivir una situacion limite se crea una conexion entre los implicados, sin embargo a mi no me dejo satisfecha.
La revelacion de quien era el " malo " menos aun me sorprendio, era bastante evidente quien iba a resultar ser el traidor.
En fin, Finding His Mark me decepciono un poco, no obstante si que tiene cosas buenas, me gusto que fuera agil de leer y la pluma de Brittney Sahin me agrado, puede que en un futuro repita con la escritora.
2.5 Estrellas!

When in doubt, grab a Brittney Sahin book. 📖
It has all the ingredients for just the right cup of tea. 🍵 Romance, action, suspense and spice. 🔥
This is one of her older books, and it shows in the way the action is more mellow, the book is shorter and the romance is less intense but I still gobbled it up like a hot cocoa on a cold winter night.
Brittney has the hottest MCs on her book covers and if you want a bit of eye candy follow her on insta, her posts are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I loved this book and I can see where the idea for her Falcon Falls Security series came from. They are very similar in content but the FFS series is more polished more angsty and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
I will definitely continue with this series though. 🥂

DNF at 43%
לא עשה לי את זה... עובדה שעזבתי ולא חזרתי.
משהו עם בחור שהוא נייבי סיל, ששוכר איזה שטח או בקתה מבודדת כדי להוציא לפועל מבצע מסוכן ובחורה, שבמקרה נקלעת לשם ולא יודעת שהיא "נפלה" לתוך סצינה מתוך אחת הסדרות שהיא כותבת לטלוויזיה על נייבי סילס, רק בחיים האמיתיים.
הוא מנסה לשכנע אותה לעזוב, היא מתעקשת להישאר ובינתיים - יש את "הרעים" ברקע, שרוצים לפגוע בשניהם.
איבדתי עניין עוד לפני שהתחיל האקשן האמיתי ונטשתי.

If I could give this book 6 stars I would! I am so impressed!
This is my first SEAL book, and first book written by Brittney Sahin, but it won’t be my last. I am so impressed with not only the writing style of the book, but the detail, and knowledge it took to write this type of book. I am personally blown away!
Great book!
I can’t wait to read more.

I really didn't like this all that much. about 50% in i wanted to DNF it and i skimmed over A LOT of it before that. The beginning of this book was strong to me, but it just fell about after that. Everything felt rushed and unrealistic. They probably would NEVER allow a innocent civilian in on all of this, let alone USE HER IN THEIR PLANS. Also the main character is breaking probably so many laws or protocols or some shit because of this girl. I mean who am I too know what would actually happen in real life, but it just feels wrong. Their romance as well was just completely rushed to me and i feel like they would never really last; maybe that's just because I didn't connect with these characters at all, I don't know. Everything was a little to convenient and safe. I kept reading just for the action that i hoped would come,... i really didn't. Also the twist at the end i totally called. Literally there was maybe on only 2 or 3 other people introduced in this novel that weren't apart of the main group, so to me it was obvious who it was and i was just unepic. Something that also really, REALLY bothers me is that Eva is FAMOUS (to a degree)!!! She is about to make a movie and become even more well known. So lets just date and HAVE A BABY with this man, who we have only know for maybe less than a year, and who is in a very very very secret unauthorized-ish group of military. You know he wont be plastered all of the internet for everybody to see. And his alias is pathetic the only thing your gonna do to keep the two of you kind of safe (because this would not work) is change your real generic last name for another generic last name. I dont know, i just didn't particularity like this book. i am just glad that i finished it.

Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..It has been a while that I have read a book from this author and let tell you she remind you why we chose her romance suspense books. Brittney is back! We meet Luke who is on a mission that gets goes wrong and ends up meeting Eva who he will now have to protect. Eva doesn't have clue what is going on and these two are not crazy about each on the onset but they have some pretty hot chemistry brewing. Eventually they give in and have hot night but that is all they can have because the type of life that Luke lives he doesn't want any loved ones being used to get to them. This book will keep you on your toes, we have lies, betrayal, humor and eventually an HEA. It was also nice catching up with past characters from previous book..Enjoy!

"How long will we be holed up together?"
"Hopefully, only a few days. I'm not looking forward to this."
"Yeah, me either, Captain Commando."
"If you did your research, you'd know SEALs don't like that term."
She lifted a brow. "What makes you think I don't know that?" --Eva & Luke
Loved this one! It was filled with surprising heart, action, snark, sexy alpha heroes, and worthy females that all blended together seamlessly and kept me reading. Eva is a writer for a Hollywood show about Navy SEALs when she happens upon a real-life op on US soil. Luke, one of the leaders for the undercover team, is then forced to hole up with Eva to ensure her safety as her identity is now entangled in their risky operation. I loved that Eva was able to hold her own against Luke (and the rest of the gang) as he struggles against his own mandate that his team stay away from any serious relationships. Luke was just as stuck as Eva in his old ways, but their love was hard to deny and changed them both for the better. Can't wait to see who the other SEALs fall for, especially Jessica and Asher. The sexual tension between them is off the charts!!
My Luke, the badass, gorgeous, and protective former SEAL..

Una lectura ligera pero entretenida sin grandes dramas y personajes muy complicados.

So many things wrong with this book. First the writing isn't good- the dialogue between the two main characters is elementary. I could have written better and I'm an awful writer. The story line was weak. Unrealistic. Everything rushed.
They probably would NEVER allow an innocent civilian in on all of these topic secret military operations, much less use her in their plans! I don't know what would be allowed in real life but everything just felt wrong. Their romance was completely rushed and I feel like they would never really last. Even the sex was meh. There was zero character development. I kept reading for the action and answers I hoped would come. She's somewhat famous and he needs to stay undercover yet they are going to be together and instantly have a baby? Like he would not be exposed by the media? It was pathetic that his cover name was so super secret and that the only thing he changed was his generic real last name for a generic fake last name-- and kept his real first name? Just everything was wrong...

RATING: 4.5 'Skywalker & Hollywood' Hearts!
Finding His Mark is an entertaining romantic suspense read from beginning to end. It is hard to find authors that balance this genre duality, but Ms. Sahin does it effortlessly, making an instant fan out of me. I loved Luke and Eva, and now I am really looking forward to the next book!

A lot of info about their mission and the plot was stupid. Real undercover agents would have done a real check about persons involved in their operation. And they would have never sacrificea mission for one person, knowing that if they do so, they would put in danger a lot of people.

Foi emocionante, mas em uma parte me encontrei perdida, mas finalmente consegui terminar. O livro teve um começo mediano, e então melhorou, e foi top, mas depois de novo decaiu.. Faltou aquele toque que gruda e faz a gente querer não parar.. ❤ Happy reading, and until the next reading.

slow but steady suspense
So this story was a bit slow for me. And it was plot driven rather than character driven romantic suspense novel. I can’t say I loved either main character but I didn’t dislike them. It was just a routine story and nothing really stood out for me.

Excellent start to this series
This is a fast paced romantic suspense. Eva inadvertently stumbles into a black ops mission taking place on her land. Luke, the mission leader is going to make sure the civilian who is accidentally caught in the cross fire of terrorists is safe. This leads to an intense thrilling ride of Luke and his team catching the bad guys and saving Eva at the same time. Stuck together, Luke and Eva form a relationship that's hot and steamy as well as emotional.
I'd loved the action and fast pace of this story. Ms. Sahin has a natural sense of timing giving the readers anticipation and resolution, with great dialogue and characters that I want to get to know better. I highly recommend!!! This is my second time reading this book and I listened to the audio version; the narrators were fabulous.

I received an arc from the author for an honest review!
Luke is the leader of an off-the-books black ops SEAL team. Who's on a critical mission. He meets Eva and his whole mission goes pear shaped.
Eva is a writer and co-producer for a hit TV series. She ends up having some time off and decides to go away to her cabin for some peace and quiet.
But she gets alot more then she bargained for when she meets Luke lol.
This book.... it has everything romance, action, suspence and plot twists.
Luke ♡ Damn he's one hot sexy SEAL!!! He doesnt want to be with anyone because of the job he does. But in walks Eva and she puts a spanner in the works. Then he ends up questioning EVERYTHING!!!
Eva ♡ I just bloody love her!! With her being a member of an iconic Hollywood family she just wants to make it on her own and not get things just because of her last name. So she goes it alone.
Jess and the guys in Luke's team.... LOVED THEM ALL!!! I seriously can't wait for their books ♡
I swooned, laughed and I cried once or twice lol.
This book is everything.
Well done Brittney on another amazing read xx

Ok, so I was slightly surprised that I liked this as much as I did. I wasn't expecting to especially in the very beginning. I remember thinking..."man, this is another one of those duds." But I really enjoyed it and only found a few disappointments and that would be use of deity and other strong (unnecessary in my opinion) language.
I loved that the way the heroine (Eva) was strong and soft at the same time and I loved the attraction that her and Luke had together. It was amazing and completely believable. The author did a wonderful job in expressing the connection they had for each other and the emotions they felt. I felt the connection as if I was there with them.
I will definitely read more books by this author.
Rating: R+ (language, sexual content, violence)
Language: use of deity, f-bombs and other use of profanity
Recommend: Yes

DNF @ 30%
I kinda got over the fact that this woman was annoyingly too stupid to listen to the hot agent when he said run into the woods far far away coz the bad guys are coming.
I couldn’t get over the fact that when our hero talked about having to hand her over to the next team so he could get on with his FUCKING JOB she refused to let him leave her.
I can’t do with selfish, needy and short sighted people. And Eva was just that.
I have to say that although I didn’t like the heroine I really enjoyed the writing.
