BOOK REVIEW- Taken (Deep Ops #1.5) by Rebecca Zanetti


Hunter Holt might be the most stubborn ex-soldier ever born, but when he’s called on to help find a lost foster kid, he jumps into action. Even if it means working with the woman who broke his heart five years ago—the woman who still haunts his dreams . . .AMAZON  4 STARS

Really good main characters with a pretty tense re-meeting of the two.  Hunter and Faye have quite a history.  A pretty long one with a lot of pain on all sides.  They even have another childhood connection with Raider Tanaka and another young man named Mark.  They all grew up together at Miss. A's foster home.  Miss. A. is their love name for Miss. Angelina.   She is the only one who drew them in with her love and care for them.  But they also knew that she wielded a wicked wooden spoon when it was needed.  Not in a abusive way but loving correction.  I got the feeling that she didn't have to use it too often. It made me smile when I read how well they knew her.  When Mrs. A had a hat on her head it meant she was either going to church or to war with someone.
I just seemed to zoom through this story.  It kept me involved all the way through.  
 The lost kid was named Jackson and he is in WAY over his head.  There is also a whole lot more to his story.  Which puts him into some intense danger.
Several other interesting people will pop up in the story.  They add humor and even more of an edge to the story. Look out for Roscoe, this dog just isn't normal.  
I liked how the story ended with H.E.A.   A good Epilogue brings us to that point. 

Raider gets his own story in " Fallen" There's  a quick look into that book at the end of this one.  And I'm interested.
