OMG !! Un livre tant attendu et tellement GÉNIAL !! Dévoré beaucoup trop vite <3

Je suis loin d'être impartiale vu que j'adore les autres livres de Rebecca Zanetti mais cette série est ma préférée <3 Chaque tome est meilleur que le précédent et j'attendais celui-là avec beaucoup d'impatience comme ça concernait l'un de mes chouchous (Wolfe <3) même si je n'étais pas trop convaincue par Dana dans les précédents livres ... Et finalement GÉNIAL !!

Ce que j'ai particulièrement aimé :

- l'énorme point fort de cette série : les personnages !! J'ai adoré les personnages principaux (Wolfe mon chouchou que j'ai adoré dans ce livre, un personnage tellement humain avec ses petites manies (café avec chantilly et vermicelles <3), ses peurs et ses passions mais aussi Dana que j'ai finalement adoré (sa famille que j'ai adoré, son côté provocateur etc)) mais aussi les personnages secondaires (les nouveaux comme Jethro que j'ai tellement hâte de revoir (je veux un tome avec lui !!) et les anciens avec notamment Nari et Angus (j'ai tellement hâte d'avoir leur livre, toute cette tension <3) Mention spéciale pour Roscoe et Kat (j'ai tellement eu peur quand

OMG !! A long awaited and so AWESOME book !! Devoured way too fast <3

I am far from unbiased since I love the other books by Rebecca Zanetti but this series is my favorite <3 Each book is better than the previous one and I was looking forward to this one as it concerned one of my favorites (Wolfe <3) even if I was not too convinced by Dana in the previous books ... And finally I SO love her !!

What I particularly liked :
- writing style with a perfect balance between humor, romance, detective story and dramas !!
- the multiple plots that I loved : the murder of

- the huge highlight of this series : the characters !! I loved the main characters (Wolfe my favorite that I loved in this book, a character so human with his little habits (coffee with whipped cream and sprinkles <3), his fears and his passions but also Dana that I have finally adored (her family I adored, her provocative side etc)) but also the secondary characters (the new ones like Jethro whom I can't wait to see again (I want a book on him !!) and the old ones especially with Nari and Angus (I can't wait to have their book, all this tension ... <3) Special mention for Roscoe and Kat (I was so scared when

This is book three of the Broken Ops series.Clarence Wolfe and reporter Dana Mulberry finally have to confront the sexual tension that has been building between them when the two cases they are investigating seem to converge.

Wolfe has been a very mysterious and contrary character throughout the series, and his story was highly anticipated. He did not disappoint. He was the same combination of stubborn, yet caring, soldier that we have come to love.

There was plenty of action, and steamy romance. The other members of the team were all there (yay!), and Roscoe and Kat stole the show as usual.

Wolfe had an old nemesis breathing down his neck, and Dana’s story led her to be in his sights. Wolfe was the typical protective alpha (that we expected him to be), but it was stifling in some parts. A lot of these heroes tend to bend their own rules when confronted with their honey’s wants, but Wolfe didn’t have a lot of give when it came to Dana. Dana didn’t back down necessarily, but she seemed to be doing most of the adjusting in the relationship. We all know that Wolfe has a softer side to him, and I really enjoyed learning more about him in this book.

A few new characters were introduced and they were fun and interesting.

A great addition to the series, and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Thank you to Kensington Books and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I forgot how much I hated the alcoholic dog with a shoe fetish. It was somehow even more over the top this time, which was disappointing given how much I enjoyed the actual story. I had a few gripes about the heroine, but the suspense was (mostly) engaging.

4 stars

I love Rebecca Zanetti but hadn't previously read any of the Deep Ops books so I was very excited to pick this one up. To sum it all up, I simply loved it!

Broken is fast-paced and action-packed right from the beginning. Within the first few pages, there is a dead person-of-interest to Wolfe and Dana's cases and throughout the rest of the story, these characters deal with car chases, shooters and so much more. This story was full of mystery and intrigue and I couldn't get enough!

I adored meeting Wolfe and Dana. Wolfe is the strong, silent type who likes to keep his feelings close to the vest until he just can't any longer. Then all bets are off and Dana will have to keep her wits about her if she wants to resist his charm. And that man is charming! Dana was also a great leading lady. She's steadfast and determined, and the perfect match for Wolfe. I enjoyed watching these two characters circle each other and fall in love immensely!

While I definitely think this story could be read as a standalone, I think it would probably be a better reading experience to read the series in order. This is simply because the story really is very fast-paced and the beginning almost felt like the middle for me when I realised the two main characters already had a history from the previous stories that I didn't know about. It didn't negatively impact my feelings towards this story but I did stop and think "I may need to pick up the previous books and then do a reread of this one again after"; which is fine by me because I'm keen to go back and visit the other characters in more depth too - especially Mal.

Overall, I really loved this story and recommend it to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense (particularly with heroes that have a military background) and to fans of Katie Ruggle and Julie Garwood. Zanetti is a fantastic writer and creates a compelling story that'll leave you on the edge of your seat.

Disclaimer: Thank you to Kensington Books and Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Wolfe is a super tough former Navy SEAL - who sometimes has a kitten in his pocket. Dana is a reporter who will follow any lead to get her story. When they run into each other while they are both undercover - suddenly they are being forced to work together.

I really enjoyed this story a lot - a fast moving romantic suspense that is heavy on both the romance and the suspense. Exactly what I came for!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance reading copy.

Wolfe is naturally a loner after losing his fellow special ops teammates but he has a new team who he is more than a little fond of. And he is definitely more than a little fond of one freelance reporter - Dana Mulberry - who has wormed her way far deeper than anyone has been in a long time. But when her friend’s disappearance and a ghost from his past resurfaces they are going to have to fight to survive. Then they can figure out the rest.

Clarence Wolfe is one of those few Alpha heroes who is oddly logical and sweet. He is blunt and pretty awkward but is honest and kind and honorable and really loves whipped cream and sprinkles in his coffee. Dana is like a Lois Lane reporter and I just love watching her wrap Wolfe up in knots.

This is a great mystery, lovely romance (that gets steamy without being overly explicit) and a highly action packed book until the last page.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
