Hunter –
Seven is hot as hell, possessive, and dangerous—his perfect match. Except Seven is not into long-term commitments. So, when the man is still in his bed one morning, Hunter thought they’d have a couple of perfect days together. Hunter wants to share about his past. Then again, maybe he shouldn’t say a word since his secrets could get both of them killed.
When Hunter’s past rears its ugly head, he is out of time.

Seven -
Hunter is sexy, lethal, and irresistible. Seven can’t decide which trait is more appealing. There’s something else, though—something dangerous simmers beneath Hunter’s surface that intrigued him and has brought him back for more. Seven can’t stay… he won’t commit until he finds his sister’s killer. He needs to take care of that before he can make promises. Best-laid plans don’t always work out and staking his claim can’t wait when assassins come gunning for Hunter. Seven will need to pull out every trick from his arsenal to stop them.
Because nobody is going to take Hunter from him.

-Shadows emerge from the darkness and hitmen suddenly have faces, and Seven is thrust into a world he knows nothing about. What the hell is going on...

Hands down the best one yet

Oh I loved Hunter and Seven's story.

Even with the blatant set up for the new assassins series that came out after this one wrapped, and even with the utter confusion of just who was doing what, where and with whom!

I still adored the relationship between two men who haven't any reason to trust the other but who see a kindred spirit in the other.

Brilliant! The whole series is great, action packed and plot heavy without the story dragging. Love all the characters! My first series from Reese Knightley and this latest one about Hunter and Seven ended with a bang! I started with the spinoff so now I’m going back to the first book that started it all. More RK in my tbr!

Stealth
It was underwhelming based on the tension and mystery that was created around Seven & Parker. I was slightly disappointed until I realized it could be a good thing. It could be a different direction the author is going in that I haven't thought of.

Overall, I was highly disappointed and you'll see why.

A nice, almost friends... lovers to boyfriends, actually, romance with some action. While I missed a spark that would elevate this into a really good read, I enjoyed it well enough.

With what seemed like a cast of thousands the bad guy got his comeuppance, a couple of good guys got a bit dinged up; and of course the main couple, and selected family members, got their HFN.

two great characters, two complex plots which needed a bit more time to finish

Rating: 4.25🌈

These books pick up pretty much where the events in the preceding stories left off. So if you’re looking to understand the characters, the relationships, even the agency itself, then you’ll need a prior history and knowledge coming into Stealth. Because, honestly, I couldn’t remember who was who and from where at times here. Too many overlapping series and books and too much time in between reading them.

That said, these two characters are among my favorites here. They have just started a relationship, and despite the difficulties of their circumstances, their chemistry is still outstanding, and they are in sync with each other in every way.

Knightley really brings us into their relationship and unique dynamic, the intrigue, the missions, and now with Seven, his tragic family situation and history. The author has a twofold plot ongoing. One that involves Seven looking into the murder of his younger sister and the disastrous home life his brother is forced into with his father. And an internal conspiracy that will involve multiple agencies and countless characters from crossover series.

Both are so complex and intriguing that I kept wishing for more narrative time spent on each element. But probably would have doubled the size of the book. Still I felt that with such complicated storylines also comes the expectations that an equally layered exposition would follow each thread to its conclusion. Instead I’m left with questions about each plot line and wondering if we’re going to get the answers in future books.

From the epilogue, it seems not. At least on Seven’s personal side.

I really wavered over the rating. I loved the main characters. They and their relationship is so well written. They balance each other out. However, weak points like Theo (very annoying, a one note character given too much page time), the suddenly appearing villain on Seven’s element, works against the good aspects of the story.

Overall, a hugely entertaining, and often enjoyable story, another in a terrific series.

If you have issues with overlapping characters, a multitude of characters, crossed paths with other series, then this might not be the best thing for you.

However, if you’re a fan of the author, her related series, and this series already, then it’s one I recommend. I love this couple and it’s great to see them get a HFN!

Contains: action filled, great group dynamics, wəăpons, investigations, dual pov, MM, vers, hfn.

4.5 Stars.

Would you like to dive into an investigation?

Well, dive into this one, and you will discover there a group of sexy and muscular men pack with multiples wəăpons ready for chaos. But who is the bad guy?

Again, Reese keeps us on our toes. Filled us with amazing action-packed investigations and sexy gruffy men in bed. There's some bickering among them, and chemistry is flying from every corner.

The story starts slower this time. Introducing characters, relationships, etc. But don't worry, the action will start fast and quickly. Then came the doubt. The author makes us and the main character doubt some people.

When the plot starts, it involves Hunter's past coming after him and fast. You are in for a ride, you will discover Hunter past and the more your learn, the more you doubt. The suspicion is so high you don't even know which one is the bad guy.

Seven seems more vulnerable more touchable. His feelings are still violence, revenge, and get out of my face, but he seriously seems more approachable, more human and less uninhibited. Even if the main plot is not on Seven revenge, the investigation to find the killer of his sister is not done yet, and he has not forgotten about it.

As always Reese bring us on a trip of adrenaline. Fast pacing story full of gorgeous muscle man and an amazing plot. Even if there are a load of characters, we always love them all the same. Always fun to see them having each other back and solidify this chosen family slash coworker/teammates.

You want gorgeous men in a dangerous field? Do you want chemistry flying off the page? Do you want a team who got your back? Do you want sexy amazing time in bəd or elsewhere?

This one is perfect for you. I highly recommend this book to action/ investigations lovers. You will not regret it. HEA Guaranteed

This was full of secrets, passion and feelings as they worked through their past, present and have the foundations for a future together. Lots of emotions and feelings were worked through by the two men. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Reese continues to keep readers on their toes with this book, which is filled with action-packed investigations and steamy scenes featuring gruff, sexy men. Although there is some bickering among the characters, there is undeniable chemistry between them. The story starts off slowly, taking the time to introduce the characters and their relationships, but the action quickly picks up and the doubt begins to set in as both the readers and the main character begin to suspect certain individuals. The plot involves Hunter's past catching up with him, and the more readers learn about his past, the more suspicious they become of everyone involved. Seven, another character, is portrayed as more vulnerable and approachable despite his violent tendencies, and his quest for revenge over the murder of his sister is an ongoing part of the story. Despite a large number of characters, readers will find themselves loving them all equally as they work together as a chosen family, whether as coworkers or teammates. With gorgeous men, an exciting plot, and plenty of steamy moments, this book is a must-read for fans of action and investigation stories and comes with a guaranteed happy ending.

I do so love a Reese Knightly special forces love story.

Hunter had previously worked with a special operations that were assassins and answered to the SecDef and POTUS. But when there was a shakeup in Erebus, Hunter was called in to solve the issue and catch the traitor or traitors. Seven always has his back and even when they are not together Seven knows where to find him. But just like Seven had his back Hunter had Seven back as well. Seven was trying to find the person who killed his little sister and it was taken it’s toll on him. But when a friend of Hunter showed up out of the blue, Seven didn’t trust him and when they were shot at and being chased, Seven had to find a way to help protect Hunter. Reese books are awesome and the stories just keep your interest and you can’t wait to see how the story play off. I also hate for the story to end. The stories offer so much and the characters seem so real and that makes a difference. Looking forward to the next one, can’t wait!

Our story

I really need a catchphrase for these men because after I read a book with them I just want to crow it loudly. I love, love, love this world! They’re fury, they’re lethal, they’re justice and honor personified, and they’re mine.

“The man was pure stealth and lethal, the kind of man who would appear in the night and kill you in your sleep and wouldn’t miss a beat.”

Gah, I’ve been wanting Seven’s book since we met him, and like the tricky, stubborn man he is, he made us wait, and it was 1000% worth it. He and Hunter are full of surprises, and I am head over heels for them both. They’re not just sexy; they’re drop everything for these men and never look back sexy. I cannot, and will not, ever get enough. The secrets learned, the choices made, and all with a love that grips and won’t let go? I don’t know about you but I will always choose any non-stop, adrenaline-fueled adventure with these incredible men who fight hard and love even harder.

Not as much Angst and I live for the angst

The plot was a little better than it's been but I still miss the bigger series long plot of the Phoenix stories. I can also see a new cast of the Erebus team being set up and I know that's where the next series is going, but there are still some pairings I want to see that don't seem to be happening (Dave/Stone maybe thats planned for the Erebus series I've always wondered where Dave's story was; Owen/Jordan has been teased but I don't see how that would be Erebus related; what ever happened to the Jake/his Boss the Marshall Chief they had some sort of connection but the boss is straight/married but still some connection and then it was never brought up again after Jake moved to be closer to Phoenix headquarters and farther from the US Marshal headquarters; also Jagger was teased with something a little bit; and some other Phoenix peoples never got their story)

Hunter and Seven

Finally, Hunter and Seven's book is here. These two have been through quite a bit with Hunter proving what Seven meant to him and the lengths he would go for Seven in the last book already. The two have been hooking up for a while (my only disappointment in that is missing their first time together) Seven believes he can't commit to a relationship until he finds the person responsible for killing his sister but then Hunter is in trouble and he knows he has to help his man. There are alot of secondary characters from the same and other series by this author and while you could still read this book it is best if you've read the others if for nothing else but the enjoyment of the author's books of action, twisting plots, steamy times and HEA love story. Bring on the next!

The Mysterious Seven made a very dramatic appearance in Rebel, Operation Justice Book 4. Ace finally gets over himself and he and Jacob get their HEA. We already knew there was heat between Seven and Hunter but Rebel’s side story really brought things out in the open and left us with a What? What Happened? We have to wait for the next book? Now in Stealth, Hunter and Seven finally have a chance to make it work between them if Seven can put his demons to rest.
Stealth also introduces a new team in addition to Pegasus and Phoenix. Who knows where everyone will end up in the end, but an HEA is guaranteed. I love this series and the way Reese ties it in with her other series full of wonderful characters that cross over.

Przyznam, że to okładki tej serii skłoniły mnie do przeczytania wszystkich części przygód agentów 😀 Panowie po prostu działają na moją wyobraźnię, mój typ😜 To były mile spędzone chwile. Książki są ciekawe, faceci przypadli mi do gustu, a ich zróżnicowane charaktery sprawiły, że nigdy się nie z nimi nie nudziłam. To bardzo lekkie romansidła z najbardziej gejowskimi drużynami na świecie. Należy traktować je lekko i z dystansem, bo realizm jest raczej mocno naciągany 😉 Oceniam książki w zależności od gatunku i czego od nich oczekuję. Te miały być lekkie, zabawne, panowie mieli zawsze wygrywać i być naszymi przystojnymi, gorącymi bohaterami. Spełniły moje oczekiwania w stu procentach. 5 gwiazdek za całokształt i mam nadzieję, na kolejną serię 🙂

Secrets, family problems, and a love story for the ages.

Yes! The boys are back in town! I love it here. All of the men are vivid and alive. I feel like I know them as old friends. There is a new group detailed, and new enemies to vanquish. Get ready for wall to wall action and some of the hottest sex around. There are hints at sexual abuse, but nothing in print. Don't worry, the bad guys get what they deserve. Come, join Hunter and Seven and the rest of the boys for a wild ride. I know you will enjoy this book as much as I did. Do yourself a favor. Read the previous books in this world. You will be glad you did.

UPDATE: WE GOT LINK AND EAGLE BOOK
A good action book meets a good Mm romance, what could be more perfect?

We had seen Seven and Hunter interactions over the past books, but here we got to see more of their personalities, and how their chemistry works so well.

Here in this book, the author also uses less characters, so I didn't feel so lost as I was on Ace and Jacob's book.

But I have to say. I NEED A BOOK WITH EAGLE AND LINK.

Their interactions are so funny and good. That I will never stop saying how much I want more of it.

Overall a good book. With the perfect dose of drama, action, smut and cuteness.

Hunter and Seven
The two are attracted to each other since their first encounter months ago. Hunter would like something more with Seven but Seven is living in the shadows, trying to find his sister's murderer.
Suddenly Hunter's past is showing up and dragging him into danger. Seven is doing everything he can to protect him and maybe wanting more with Hunter.
Two hot as sin deadly men finding their path.
Enjoy this new book of the Operation Justice Force Series by Reese Knightley and follow Seven and Hunter into their adventure!

So happy to finally get Hunter and Seven's book. I'll be honest, though, it's been a while since I read the rest of the series (and other related series) and I had a hard time remembering who was who. I thought for sure some of the guys who seemed not together were actually together--and that confuses me timeline-wise, I guess. Anyhow. The story was fun and fast. I felt like Seven's personal vendetta was a little too easily solved, but I also get that it wasn't the main point of the book but was there mostly for character development reasons.

It amazes me how great Reese Knightley is at making each story in the interconnected series stand out. There is no feel of repetition at all!
Seven and Hunter became a wee bit of an obsession of mine since their attraction was hinted at and I absolutely loved their story!
Among the usual dynamic action and mystery, we get two amazing personalities - complex, clashing and challenging each other in the best of ways and oh, so lovable!
Summing it up, Stealth is yet another great story from this author and I cannot wait for more!

I have been waiting for this book since Seven pooped up on the scene and it did not disappoint. Seven and Hunter are so intense, but it's clear that they belong together. It may seem like their romance is rushed, but when you consider that Seven has appeared in the last several books and Hunter has been in his orbit in every single one, it makes sense. I love that we got to see them grow as a couple, but also learn more about them as individuals and their pasts, especially Hunter. The romance was so evenly paced with the action and suspense, that I could not put it down. The whodunit definitely kept me guessing and I loved it. This was a great addition to the series and I can't wait for the next one.

I’ve read everything from this author in all these interwoven series but I still get confused with all these operatives interacting. I know there’s a team list given but I’d really appreciate if the book they are featured in was added to a list of all team members along with their significant other. It would really help- I’m a loyal fan and love the group interactions but help a girl out please. I also need Link and Eagle to either sh$t or get off the pot. Tired of that drama showing up in every book.

Seriously not a bad book in this series! When you see the toughest fall in love!

Seven learned to protect his heart. He has a younger brother he trying to save and a sister he trying to track down her killer. Hunter is working with a group of operatives and trying to unwrap who the good guy and who is the bad guy. While trying to capture Sevens heart. MM romance with military special ops.

Hunter and Seven have been characters that have been so elusive through out the Operation Justice Force series, loners, kept to themselves. This book explains why and there’s so much depth to both these characters. I love possessive male leads in MM books they are done so well, as with MF it’s something that’s always seems controlling to me where as with MM it’s not. I’m not sure if my logic makes since to anyone else but it works for me 🤣

3.5 stars…We finally get Seven and Hunter’s story after they’ve been dancing around each other in previous books. This book is shorter than recent books and I wish we had gotten more background on Seven. I still don’t feel like I really know him. And the problem from Hunter’s background seems to come out of nowhere and doesn’t make a lot of sense. I think I understand the author’s purpose as far as introducing the new series and expanding the universe but this story just seems disconnected.

I loved seven when he made a sneak peek in aces book. Hunter and Seven are the perfect partners and through this book you get to see seven is not always the hard man. He has a heart of gold and he finally avenges his sister and takes in his brother. Hunter had some secrets that came to light but seven loves him no matter what. This was such a jammed packed book full of the normal bullets flying and bad guys being taken care of. Can’t wait for the next installment. Such an awesome read!!

I love this series and Stealth didn't disappoint.
Seven and Hunter's turn now, Seven returns to Hunter's side and this time he decides he might stay which is way out of his comfort zone. I really enjoy the friendships these guys all have together between Pegasus, Phoenix and Cobolt Security teams they all are amazing guys.

About time!

You want action? Adventure? Romance? Family? Revenge? Well look no further because Reese crowded every bit if it into this nail biting, sleep depriving book!
Hunter and Seven have been circling each other for the past year. Commitment is hard but not when you find your other half.
You do not want to miss this fine addition to your Pegasus reading pleasure!

Seven and Hunter finally get their story. Seven visits Hunter and is drawn to him in ways he doesn't really understand. Hunter understands Seven and takes what he can get. When competing priorities come into play, they work together to solve them both. Love being introduced to new characters and can't wait to see what happens next
