SEAL Team Alpha #7
Wicked
Five years ago, Petty Officer Orion “Wicked” Cross met and fell secretly in love with CIA officer Katherine “Kat” Harrington, and their mission together went bad. Even though Wicked wasn’t at fault, Kat blamed him and they parted bitterly. Now she’s missing and regardless of the bad blood between them, he’s going after her like he would any other hostage. Maybe it’s time to clear the air and put their past behind them. But it all rides on an unforgiving woman, who’s been honed and jaded by many missions, yet his heart has never let her go.
Kat is on her own personal mission and having to be rescued by the one man she wants to avoid only adds fuel to that inner fire. She still blames him for her fiancé’s death and has never given him a chance to explain or mend fences. Except on this mission where nothing seems to go right, they find themselves thrust together on the edge of mortal danger where the lines between combatants tend to blur. With Wicked constantly on her six, invading her personal and professional space, could the truth about what happened change her mind or tear their fragile love apart?

Something Wicked this way comes...
Stars!
Book seven in the SEAL Team Alpha series took me right back to my happy reading place with the guys in general, and especially with Orion ‘Wicked’ Cross and Kat Harrinton’s story finally being told. The hostility between them has been visible for a while, but you haven’t been given the full low down as to why.
Why did he always have to look so damn good..?
I love this series, you literally never know what’s coming next, what country the Team are likely to end up in and when or where stuff starts getting shot at or blown up. But all the while it’s the relationships that the men ultimately forge with women that in the main they have met along the adventure, not with these two though. They have a past, its spans years, includes family and once again as is generally the case with this author, didn’t pan out as I was expecting it to, which I love because it keeps you on your toes.
"I knew you would come for me…"
Kat and Wicked have an awful lot of past to work through before they can even think of looking to a future together, working through those issues isn’t easy though when you are also traveling to terrorist and hostile hotspots at the drop of a hat looking for wanted criminals, warheads and all sorts of other unsavoury things, as well as being double-crossed by a potential team member. But the author managed to merge it all together really well again. Action, adventure and romance, what more can you ask for, oh and lots of sexy SEALS with great banter, that’s always a good selling point too.
"We’re in this together."
Hollywood is up next, and it’s easy to understand why with his POV, and involvement with the bad guys having quite a large input into this story as well. I love these guys and long may the series continue!

This series just keeps getting better. The first chapter grabs you immediately and you will not want to put it down. The writing is so good that I could totally picture in my mind the room Kat was in and see every move she made. I could feel the emotions both Wicked and Kat were feeling. I could feel the tension between Wicked, Kat and Brandon throughout the book. There is just the right amount in suspense, intrigue, drama and a few hot steamy areas as well. The storyline had quite a few surprises and twists that I wasn’t expecting which kept me on my toes.

Great Series
This series is one of the best I have I have read. Need to fix a definition in the glossary. IED is an explosive device, not an incendiary device.

Absolutely my favorite in this series so far! This story is emotional, nerve wracking and gut wrenching, yet it is hot as hell🔥🔥!! Wicked and Kat are a match made in heaven. Both are strong, independent and highly trained operatives who have past history - both at work and at a personal level. This is a story of letting go, forgiving and moving on with the life you deserve. Great book!!

This book was just ok for me. I once loved these books, I've read most of them in this series, but I may be out-growing them. It took me forever to get through it because I just couldn't get into it.
I've never cared for all the silly nicknames authors use for these SEAL team books. I didn't really feel any heat between these 2, Kat and Wicked.
It really follows all the same story line. Girl and Boy meet, they hate each other, have personal issues, someone breaks, they become lovers, save each other and the world. I don't know, just fell flat for me.
The focus put on the character, Hollywood, interested me more than Kat and Wicked. I know the purpose of that is to hook you into reading Hollywood's story next, and it probably worked. I wanted more of Hollywood and less of Kat and Wicked.

Pros:
-Lots of action
-Heavy spice
-Big cast of known characters but not overblown
Cons:
-TSTL behaviors by both leads
-Villain ID'd Day 1
-Repetitive action, dialogue
-Dragging high school angst
-FMC's stupid surprise at villain discovery
-Continued search for warheads waaaay overdone and boring
-Bad guys get away for the 1,000th time
-Each new villain comes from a new country, like the UN of Villains
-Main plot never ends (yes, it's a series but the plot didn't come up til Book 3 (maybe?) and now it dominates)
The "love" story between Orion and Kat is confusing. It starts with a deep hatred, but the why of this hatred gets doled out in little drips and drabs until almost 3/4 of the way through, when there were clear comments. I kept wondering why they had this antagonistic thing going and figuring it out was some effort. I read all the previous books so if it was discussed in one I must have missed it. Also there was a boatload of slow burn here, to the point I wasn't sure I cared by the time they actually did it. There was a nice bit of spice in this story, it just took an awfully long time to get there.
Can I also just say that Scarecrow is a pretty odd call sign for a romantic partner. The FMC did call him Rion often, but also referred to him by that call sign as well. Just felt like too much at times.
And speaking of the MMC...there was a super quick wrap-up of his family issues at the end. Like "oh yeah, me and your mom are getting divorced so we can all live in peace now." Wow. There's was also a good bit of fast wrap-up of other plot points at the end, too. I'm more a fan of showing as opposed to telling.
I really disliked the villain piece here. It was super clear from his first appearance that her boss was the Bad Guy on the inside. But as he explained.that he was going to run for office and wanted all his past mistakes to be cleared up, I kept wondering how that was supposed to work. A former CIA dude runs for office, but has some Bad Guys who know that he hired them to erase other CIA agents. Like people wouldn't find out? Like the Bad Guys wouldn't hold him to that for special treatment? For such a supposedly clever CIA agent, this made no sense. And fellow readers, for Kat to suddenly figure out who the CIA turncoat is at the virtual end of this story just reeks of big old stupid. We all knew in Chapter 3. Again, there were a few facts that didn't come up til the end either, like that Kat had a relationship with her boss that he didn't want to end. And this was.shared in a totally relaxed conversational tone, like everyone knew. What? No girl, we didn't know that as you've made no indication of a personal relationship with this squirrely dude. You whip that out near the end? Felt like an Agatha Christie story--she was famous for spilling important facts at the end of the mystery, which drove me crazy. Just sayin.
Sometimes I read back through the reviews I leave here, and I wonder whether I'm too critical. After all, these are make believe stories. I do feel that not only do I invest the cost but also the time to read. I also read a lot, probably 6 or more books a week. I read quite a few books that are clearly templated from an outline of sorts or a checklist. Also many books nowadays just use tropes in place of an actual plot. Writers who actually create a story instead of hammering crappy tropes together should get more notice. I do feel this author doesn't focus on tropes so much and that's good. This is an older series so I'm unsure if she's jumped on the wagon since then. I do try to be fair when I review. It's not my aim to crash someone. These are things I want to know as a reader before I make that money/time investment. As any reader knows, it sucks to get a third of the way into a story and toss it down in disgust. Super frustrating.
I will probably read one more in this series and see where it goes before moving on.

More Intrigue. More Drama. More Wicked!
What’s not to love?
Zoe Dawson delivers another winner with Wicked, the seventh installment in her SEAL Team Alpha series. The story explodes out of the gate with an exhilarating hostage rescue and never slows down. One rescue mission quickly becomes two, a stolen missile is still out there somewhere, and the danger keeps escalating until the very last page.
Talk about getting your heart pumping! Reading this book felt like running an Ironman triathlon—minus the sweating.
But the real emotional battlefield isn’t the mission itself. It’s the unresolved tension between Navy SEAL “Wicked” and CIA agent Kat Harrison. It doesn’t take a master detective to figure out these two still burn for each other, but something—or someone—has spent years driving them apart.
The driving force behind this story is guilt. And not just guilt… Guilt with a capital G.
Five years earlier, a mission went horribly wrong, leaving both Wicked and Kat drowning in survivor’s guilt. Instead of dealing with the pain, they bury themselves in their jobs. Wicked locks his emotions down so tightly that when the pressure finally breaks loose, the explosion is terrifying. Meanwhile, Kat’s cool, ice-princess control hides a trauma so deep she’s convinced facing it would shatter her completely.
Kat hates needing Wicked and his team to rescue her… yet knowing they will come makes her feel safe. Wicked braces himself for Kat’s anger and contempt, but there is never a question of leaving her behind.
Push and pull. Anger and longing. Pride and heartbreak.
Until finally, forgiveness becomes the only way either of them can survive.
And when these two warriors finally stop fighting each other? The chemistry burns hotter than the Sahara sun.
One of my favorite parts of Dawson’s SEAL Team Alpha series continues to be the team itself. The Brotherhood—and the strong women standing beside them—have become something bigger than a military unit. They’ve become a family. Every woman brings her own strengths to the fight, and together they create something powerful, unshakable, and fiercely loyal.
And in true Zoe Dawson fashion, after all the danger, heartbreak, explosions, and emotional chaos, love wins.
Turns out even the most adrenaline-fueled, gung-ho Navy SEALs eventually discover the same thing:
The strongest warriors are the ones who finally let someone stand beside them.

There is never a single moment in the seventh book of the SEAL Team Alpha series where the scene being described is not totally engrossing. Either action is taking place or intense emotions are being expressed, and often these two are occurring at the same time. Zoe Dawson definitely put her heart into this story, where every development is particularly believable and the true nature of each character shines through. I have enjoyed all the books in this series, but WICKED deeply touched me in ways that I am rarely affected.
After a previous mission did not go as planned, the life of Orion “Wicked” Cross has never been the same. He does not open up to anyone, and he lost the respect of the one woman for whom he cared. When Katherine Harrington is captured in a foreign country, it is up to Wicked and his fellow SEALs to rescue the CIA agent, and he plans to keep his emotions in check. The two will always be connected by a painful past, yet both need to put everything behind them and move on. But crossover assignments keep coming, and they cannot keep from being drawn to one another once again.
From demanding missions to escalating personal troubles, WICKED kept me enthralled with circumstances that were constantly realistic. Every detail seemed very accurate, thus making me never question the credibility of an event. Any assignment undertaken by Wicked, Kat or his team came across as true-to-life, and I felt the escalating tension of each harrowing second. What these individuals had to live through at times caused me much anxiety, as I had no clue as to how things would eventually end up. Zoe Dawson certainly ramped up the danger in this story, where nothing is ever guaranteed until the situation plays out.
The emotional storyline in the book is one I will not soon forget, as surprising facts were disclosed when least expected and these turns brought huge challenges into the lives of Wicked and Kat. I became fully invested in what would ultimately happen to this couple, as they were so likable plus spirited. It was also fabulous getting to revisit with so many past couples, and getting to meet several new characters has me hoping each one gets their own future story.

Book 7 of the series. I would suggest you reading the other books before this one to understand the characters especially for this one as these characters have been in many other books.
If you want a recap of what the book is about, please read above the reviews.
We've met our hero and heroine in prior books. You could tell they had chemistry but were fighting it the entire way. However, now the heroine has been kidnapped and the hero knows why. They had done a black op to get information for one of their teammates and its come back to bite them in the butt. When they tried to find out why the heroine was there, it was because of a mission but they won't be told anything else. Our hero doesn't like the heroine's boss and that comes through crystal clear.
However, even after a bit the heroine decides she has to trust the hero at some point. They start to rebuilt the trust. However, their background of her being engaged to his dead brother is something they don't think they can get past. Or can they?
The plot, if you read the above carefully, is again one of original lines but updated with a few pretty good curve balls thrown in. It keeps the story moving and alive. The ending is a great way to bring the family full circle and that includes an updated circle with the SEAL team.
This book ends a bit differently than those of the others. We've learned a bit about the next SEAL in following story, but not much about the connection from this one. Interesting... can't wait.

Wicked by Zoe Dawson
SEAL Team Alpha Series Book Seven
Orion “Wicked” Cross had been frustrated ever since the redhead has entered his territory in San Diego. They shared a past...and it wasn't a good one. Yet, they keep getting thrown together on missions. The tension gets tighter and tighter until it's ready to snap. They are going to have to deal with it...one way or another.
Kat Harrington is a deadly CIA operative. She's determined...as the Marines would say...to not leave any man behind. And she has someone from long ago to find and bring home. And now, she's found herself in quite a mess and needs rescuing. Deep down she knows Wicked will be doing the rescuing. Maybe it's time to face him and talk.
Lots of action as these folks go out to protect the world...and each other. Even if from themselves. The reader can see where Wicked and Kat have clashed at every turn in the previous books in this series... And now, it's their story. Looking forward to the next book, Hollywood's story.

This seventh book in the Seal Team Alpha series by Zoe Dawson continues to deliver spine tingling action and adventure with just a touch of betrayal and a whole lot of love thrown in for good measure. This book has the team going through their non-favorite terrorist territory as they struggle to find and free special hostages who just happen to be their teammates and friends. It is of course about the developing love story between two characters who have fought against it for as long as they possible could, before finally giving in to the inevitable, and accepting their fate together. The action is solid. The characters are once again described is such strong detail the reader can almost see their big muscular bodies before their own eyes. If she keeps writing these, I will keep reading and reviewing them. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Prolific Works.

We are back with SEAL Team Alpha and another action filled story. This time the story belongs to Petty Officer Orion/Wicked Cross and CIA agent Kat Harrington.
These two have a tragic history, when a mission they were involved in turns upside down.
Fast forward five years, and Wicked , though the mission’s failure was not his fault, still feels responsible. Especially since Kat blamed him for the failure. When Kat goes missing , he’s determined to find her.
Kat is on her own and has no desire to deal with WIcked. But fate puts them together, running for their lives.
A non-stop action packed plot, filled with bad guys, a hunky good guy and a gutsy woman. These two are complex and imperfect characters, which make them that more likable.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
These two have a tragic history, when a mission they were involved in turns upside down.

Better than the best!
I was so pleasantly overwhelmed by this book, Zoe did exceed her writing skills this time. This is now my favourite of this series and I cannot stress highly enough how much I love it. The plot is dense, complex, really well developed. Emotionally charged to the max, the internal conflicts and doubts take it to another level. The chemistry between the characters is intense, an explosion of feelings. To say Wicked is hot would be the understatement of the year, this man is beyond any measurable level of hotness!! Make sure you read this whole series in order so you do not miss any of the amazing characters and their interactions building up to this story. Counting the days for the next book, the wait is killing me!

WARNING: Difficult To Put Down Once You Begin!
This is another stellar story in the Seal Team Alpha Series! Action packed missions and beautifully written love scenes.... you don’t hold back Ms. Dawson. The missions are raw and intricately detailed which makes it easy to really “see” the action. Characters are very well developed. The problem I had with this story was that I found it SO difficult to bookmark when my adult responsibilities needed to be tended to. I simply love each member of the team and the brotherhood. Good to see Wicked and Kat reconciling, finally. Looking forward to Hollywood’s story. Hopefully readers don’t have to wait too long for the release..... please!!!

Love, love this book. Wicked works for this series fitting seamlessly, Orion Cross is carrying so much guilt and shame over the woman he loves. Kat Harrington the CIA liaison for the team and Orion's brother's fiancee carries her own burdens. Her father mysteriously disappears his body never discovered, the person who is betraying the team, and her attraction for Orion "Wicked" Cross. Who is leaking information on the team and responsible for Kat's kidnapping and Amanda's betrayal. So much action and suspense. Lots of truly Wicked passion, and such a great conclusion. You will love this book, probably one of the best in the series. Congratulations Zoe for another great read !

WICKED (SEAL TEAM ALPHA BOOK 7)
Another wonderful book in the Seal Team Alpha series, Wicked and his Seal Team (Family) are once again caught up in the search of the stolen nuclear missiles still chasing a powerful rebel group who have killed their team makes including
Wicked’s brother, leaving a hole in Wicked’s brothers former fiancé as well as his own. Dealing with a brittle unforgiving mother who blamed Wicked for her favourite son’s death. It is a heart wrenching story of pain and that has to be overcome before love can prevail! Loved all the twists and turns and surprises!

I knew it was Brandon. Great story. Lot of action, suspense, torture, treason, pain, frustration. Kat us super women. Wicked has many scars. Many at his mother’s hate and non forgiveness. Plus the pain of not being able to save his brother. Kat and Wicked finally put the misinterpreted past over Phoenix’s death the past 8 years to the hear and now. Their love has been hidden for the past 8 years and finally unleash it to save their souls and their future. Once Alpha team’s Brotherhood remains strong.

Ok book
This book was non-stop action from beginning to end. Interesting plot that held my attention. The characters were enduring but I didn’t click with the writing style. It had a bit more grit and intensity than I’m used to. The romance between Wicked and Kat didn’t really resonate with me until a little over 1/2 way through the book. I can see how many would like this book though. I think I’m an exception.
I really liked Hollywood and his sense of humor. I would read his book if I can find a free version of it as I’d like to hear about his story.

Another "brothers ex" in the series. I don't like brother/sister sharing it is just GROSS. She was engaged to the brother that died but was in love with Wicked during the engagement.
I wanted better for Wicked but sadly, he got Kat. I don't like her! The author tried to make Kat somewhat likeable but failed.
This authors aversion to condoms is repetitive "I'm on the pill" is in every book...he wears a condom with a random hookup so why not with her?

Omg it’s beyond perfect
Ok Zoe Dawson has well out done herself!!!! This book has ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING a reader could want!!! Drama, action, love, unrequited love, parental conflicts, personal guilt, a hell of an HEA. Just the right combination of storyline and heat and an exciting lead in to the next book without a cliff hanger

She's done it again !!
Fabulous, I was drawn straight back into the Team. Back into the relationship between these amazing men and their women. Recommend it to anyone who loves a rollarcoaster, action packed romance, couldn't put it down, but didn't want it to end.

Seal love
Another masterpiece in this series; love these alpha males and the women that keep them in line. Great series and can’t wait for Hollywood and the bad guys to get what is coming.

Been dying for this story since Kat was introduced as a side character a couple books ago! Finally we get to dig into the drama and the history between the two who care so much for one another, whether they love to hate or hate to love one another. What a thrill ride now that we're here, too!

Best in series.
Book seven in the SEAL Team Alpha series stands out as the best so far. Wicked and Kat's story is filled with action, danger, intrigue, honor, and, of course, love that always finds a way.
