Wayward Souls #5
Delta Force: Phoenix
One shot -- one kill. A sniper’s creed. Only this time -- he’s the one in the crosshairs.
Normal isn’t something Ethan “Phoenix” Vale has any experience with. And it isn’t what he has planned for the future — unlike his ex-team leader, Cannon. The man already has the next six months of Phoenix’s life mapped out, starting with a joint mission with Hank Patterson’s company, Brotherhood Protectors. And saying no, isn’t an option.
Discovering Olivia Blake is part of the team almost has Phoenix breaking ranks. Heading for the Mexican border with no intentions of returning. She’s the one person he’d hoped to spend the rest of his life with, until he discovered she’d played him. The fact she’d been with MI6 all along only solidifies the reality that Phoenix isn’t cut out for civilian life. That, the two of them together might be more than the mission can handle.
Watching her back when the op goes sideways isn’t because Phoenix cares. Has unresolved feelings for her. And falling back into bed together is obviously a means of closure. Until he realizes that — despite the pain, the betrayal, the loss — Olivia’s still everything he wants. Everything he needs.
But keeping her safe isn’t going to be easy. Not when the elusive Agent Smyth is determined to eliminate anyone who gets in his way. And, for the first time in Phoenix’s life, he’s forced to face the fact that he might not be able to save everyone. He only hopes he can keep the girl, rescue his team, and not end up a casualty in a war he isn’t equipped to fight.

Exciting!
The Brotherhood Protectors World has been a lot of fun with many authors adding elements and styles to the collection!
Kris Norris has created an intense and creative plotline. The thrilling suspense is compelling and palpable! Phoenix and Olivia are superheroes and over-the-top, but it's fun and a fantasy so why not! Their romance is delicious and perfect!
The angst was overwhelmingly repetitive and redundant! I finally just started to skim the paragraphs for page after page. Besides, I really wanted to get on with the story! The self- doubt and recrimination bogged the book down and was boring!
However, the plot and romance makes this novel well worth reading!

Phoenix
Poor Phoenix has not had a easy life, Anna not really Anna was hard to overcome, did not think I would like Olivia but she was in a difficult spot. I liked her in the end and her and Gibson are a good together.
Now I'm British been so for 51 years and really we do not all swear, in fact more then most I know don t, felt a little betrayed us brits are not as dramatic as that.
A fun read loved the crazy.

Enjoy a book where's there is plenty of action, suspense and surprises. Demons riding Phoenix hard. Couldn't put the book down it was that good and intriguing. Phoenix had been lied to by the one woman he loved. So when he sees her again on an assignment at Hanks, things don't go to well. Excellent read. HEA.

Bumpy ride
Prepare yourself for a very bumpy ride. This was non stop action. Hair raising antics on a snow mobile through forest, over mountains, and even over a cliff. Gave a whole new meaning to cliffhanger. As if that wasn't enough, the heart stopping rides in a helicopter . . . WOW! Just wow!

Once again, strong characters in Phoenix and Livy. Great to see Hank again. Story was exciting and continued with many twists and turns to keep your interest.
Question: In remarks after book ended, it said Priest's story would be coming out. What happened? Where is it? I cannot find any information on it.

Phoenix most definitely took my heart out! If Kris wanted us absolutely melting for Phoenix where all you wanted to do was hold him, she succeeded! The suspense continues & has us gripped with anticipation with who the mystery guy is. Along the way the non stop action, venerability, romance & the amazing skills & bond of these fabulous men & women doesn't fail to awe you. Brilliant!

Danger!
Delta Force: Phoenix: WOW! Excellent story with lots of challenges, surprises, twist and turns. A team that works well together and a women he never stopped loving even after she lied. It was truly a wonderful story!

Brilliant! So good! The entire series is worth a read. I’m already looking forward to Fetch and Archer’s book. Can’t wait to see the team together again in their new location and adventure.
