LORA LEIGH - ELITE OPS SERIES

I had stated my blog with the Lora Leigh's Elite Ops series.  Since there were still more books to come at the time, I have decided to pick it up where I left off.  So here is a brief resume of the series as well as the books, in their release order.  Please note that although I would recommend to read them in the order they have been published, they can as easily be read on their own.

Although her "Breeds" series is really great, I must say my all time favourite characters would have to be the man of the "Elite Ops". I love the way the characters are linked to the "Temping Seals", giving a second breath and a sense of continuity to her great leading men.

RESUME
Dead Men Don’t Talk
The world is turning into a frightening place. A place where death and destruction can visit on any street corner, within any home. And there are those that thrive on the fear and the terror they can instigate.
The Elite Operations, ELITE OPs was created to fight against that terror. A six man force working independent of government protocol or oversight, created to do what the others can’t do. They have only one directive. Success of the mission. No matter what it takes.

1. "Wild Card" - The story of Noah Blake, formerly known as U.S. Navy Seal, Nathan Malone. In "Tempting Seals", Nathan Malone was taken hostage but a powerful drug lord during a mission to save a US Senator's daughter. He comes back as Noah Blake, now an Elite Ops operative.

2. "Maverick" - The story of Micah Sloane, formerly Israeli Mossad agent, bent on revenge and caught in a web of emotional entanglement he must deal with, in order to save the woman that captured his heart.

3. "Heat Seeker"- The story of John Vincent, formerly known as Australian Secret Intelligence Trent Daylen. He has a second chance with the last woman he shared his bed with and the only woman he's ever loved. But as an ex-CIA agent herself, she's too clever for her own good; Will love win over 6 years of hurt and sorrow?

4. "Black Jack" - The story of Travis Caine, formerly known as MI-5 agent Travis Dermont. A little harder to follow, as it introduces the female of the "Elite Ops two, another branch of the super-secret agency. In my opinion, this book has to be read twice in order to fully assimilate all the twists and turns of the great plot laid page after page. One thing I must say, though: It lays the grounds of what promise to be a great new wave of stories.

5. "Renegade" - The story of Nikolai Steele known as Russian Special Forces operative Michel Valeskinov.  When an important informant calls in a favour to clear his name, as is being framed for murder by a trust worthy member of a community, Nikolai has no other choice but to show up.  When the trustworthy member happens to be a woman that gets his hear rate going, Nikolai has a hard time keeping his calm...And his hand to himself.  Will he be able to get to the bottom if the story?

6. "Live Wire" - The story of Captain Jordan Malone,  leader of the five man forming the Elite Ops Unit.  He has seen his men fall in love one after the other and still, he doesn't believe in it.  He has fought hard in the last years to forget resist the sexual pull of one hell of a woman in a sexy but deadly package.  That is, until the unit is dismantled, everyone having served their time, and that said woman will be, once again, exposed to danger.  It will be enough for Captain Malone to go after her to save her butt, but will she manage to also save his soul in the process?

That's it, folks!  Enjoy this series, as it is the one I loved the best...As a matter of fact, I keep reading one or the other every few months!
