Sophia Rose's Review:

A shocking reunion under the most harrowing of circumstances allows two hardened veterans in their respective fields of service a chance to get past what went wrong nine years before, the hate they have felt for each other between, and take care of business in the present.

 

Makenna is a DEA agent and this current mission into Afghanistan to take out a huge drug lab will be the making or breaking of her career.  She’s seasoned at her job, fit, and she’s done hours of intel, but her boss is going out on a limb that this strike with a Delta team will pay off.  Only minutes into the mission and she’s facing a dark, painful part of her past.  Of course, Channing is the captain of the Delta team escorting her DEA team in.

 

When the mission goes pear-shaped, Channing ends up stuck in hiding with Makenna and she is determined that he finally here her side of the story- her truth from that past mission they were on that went wrong and exploded their relationship.  The sizzle between them has survived along with their mutual hate, but will her explanation be enough to change things and will they be rescued before their chance gets snuffed out for good?

 

I’ve been a fan of the author and the Alpha Ops books so spotting that an Alpha Ops prequel was part of the anthology was a huge ‘cherry on top’ bonus to my already eager desire to support the charity with my purchase which brings the chance to try out many new authors and their military romance stories.

 

Delta Mission is a standalone that newbies can pick up and get a feel for the author’s writing and for what is a bombastic opener to the series which follows those in the rescue team long after the incident in this story.  The novella is action-packed and fast paced, but as usual, the author has a gift for a fully fleshed out romance element to pair with the action.  A strong story and a good start to my read of the anthology.

PLEASE NOTE: Delta Mission is only available in the Heroes with Heat and Heart Charity Anthology Vol 3. 

Delta Mission is the prequel book to Escape Mission – book one in my Alpha Tactical Ops series - featuring ex-military men and women and the partners trying to tame them in a collection of standalone books with interconnecting characters..
