BOOK REVIEW - Driven (Deep Ops Book 4) by Rebecca Zanetti

   

Description

Publishers Weekly praised the Deep Ops series as exploding "with action, spice and humor," while Booklist promised that "fans of J. D. Robb and Karen Robards will love Zanetti's series." In this fourth installment, New York Times bestselling author Zanetti mixes high-octane action with even more intense romantic tension as two misfit operatives in a secretive Homeland Defense department chase down a diabolical serial killer.

Unswerving: Angus Force is determined to hunt down the serial killer he'd once shot dead--or so he thought. But an anonymous source reports that Lassiter is alive. Force hasn't slept since, knowing it's only a matter of time before "the Surgeon" strikes again. And soon, a body is found, bearing Lassiter's same maniacal MO. It's just the beginning of a murderous trail blazing through D.C. and Virginia, right to Force's backyard...

Unstoppable: Nari Zhang is the shrink for the ragtag Deep Ops Unit, though she isn't Force's shrink--which is a very good thing. Because once they're thrown together on the case, their attraction is explosive and irresistible. They'll just have to fight that much harder to keep the heat between them from flaming out of control. But things are about to become far more challenging, and deadly, than they could have imagined...

Unhinged: Once the killer catches a glimpse of Nari, she becomes his new obsession. She is now the focus point--for both Force and Lassiter--in a dangerous dance for survival... AMAZON LINK

5 + STARS

 

I've been looking forward to this story for quite some time it seems.  What makes Angus Force tick?  We get to see a whole lot more than what we have seen before.  And I liked it a lot.  In fact, I would say the story is Outstanding, Stunning, with fast moving parts.  It was also emotional at times with a smart plot.  

Oh and, Angus gets his chance to heat up the sheets. We always got to see how smart he was in  previous books if you have read them.  But in this one, we get to see that he is also a complex, hot guy. A wounded warrior, who draws women to him even though he's not really paying attention to that.  So many people are against him when it comes to Lassiter.  They think that he is obsessed with a dead man.  Also that he is an alcoholic nut.  You can imagine how many clashes that sets up. Even some of his team members try to get him to let it go but he just has to know for sure.  

Speaking of those team members, they were an interesting eclectic group of what others called oddballs.   But they worked, they had their skills and had each other's backs.   Even Roscoe, adds his unique characteristics and skills to the story.  That would be the sneak a drink dog who "belonged" to Angus.

The stuff that Nari, (who I liked a lot), has had to put up was the first of several surprises.  There will be plenty of those though.  Plenty of action, danger, surprises and the ultimate surprise towards the end.  Loved it. Enough to give 5+ stars on Amazon when it opens for review.

There is also a teaser for Rebecca Zanetti's next book in her Dark Protector Series (Rebel's Karma).  And yes, that one looks pretty good too.
