All the adventures in the three books of The Hunted miniseries have been packed with dangerous threats, and the peril in the last story repeatedly takes a deadly turn. There are also plenty of tricky circumstances that must be dealt with correctly by the hero and heroine or justice may never be served. SPECIAL OPS EXCLUSIVE has everything you could want in a romantic suspense story. It has bad guys, plenty of secrets, lots of emotional altercations and powerful desire. Elle Kennedy writes from the heart and creates an enthralling novel.
Did the American government betray his Special Ops team and if true, who was responsible? These are the questions that Nick Prescott wants answered, and he has come to the country of Cortega in order to hopefully get the actual facts from an informant. He and two other Air Force soldiers have been hiding out for almost a year, and he wants this episode in his life to be over. A demonstration related to a recent election is taking place in the capital city, and although Nick is trying to stay clear of the huge crowd, he jumps in to rescue a female reporter who gets caught up in the violent mass of people.
Although Rebecca Parker will tackle any situation where she believes a news story needs to be reported, the TV journalist did find herself in trouble and is grateful to the handsome American who helped her. She comes to the conclusion there is also something about Nick that justifies her questioning him further, and they do talk for a short spell. When it comes time to leave, he emphatically tells her to forget about their time together and not to say anything about meeting him. The reporter in Rebecca cannot leave her doubts about Nick alone, and her inquiry brings threats into both their lives.
The bravely fearless heroine of SPECIAL OPS EXCLUSIVE certainly ruffles the generally calm nature of the hero, and this leads to numerous exchanges packed with intense emotional outbursts. Elle Kennedy has brought two individuals together whose extremely different personalities cause captivating scenes. While Rebecca does swap ideas with Nick, she is also remarkably good at instigating a course of action on her own and may not always follow the directions given to her. But I must say, while she does not always think through what she is going to do and its possible consequences, she can improvise on the spot and never gives up. Rebecca is a courageous woman whom I came to really admire. As for Nick, I have respected him from the moment he was met in the first book because of his outstanding personal traits. A true gentleman who is courteous and thoughtful, he also has a daring side and does what is required if needed. The relationship between Nick and Rebecca definitely starts off rocky, as their dissimilar views result in much friction. This does not keep their conversations from being smartly intelligent, and a number of their comments are very clever. While they may not always agree on what path to take, even when it comes to the sexual awareness of the other, there are some feelings they just cannot ignore. When they finally explore their desire, heatedly explosive responses are quickly ignited. Since this is the final book in the trilogy, ongoing secrets are ultimately exposed while other surprising revelations come to light. Nick and Rebecca are continuously being sought, and the uncertainty of when they will be threatened upped my immersion in the story. SPECIAL OPS EXCLUSIVE perfectly combines gripping conspiracies with steamy passion. An exceptional ending to The Hunted miniseries.

FATAL EXPOSURE has perilous threats that result in impulsive decisions and heart-pounding moments.
