About this eBook

From NY Times & USA TODAY bestselling author Mandy M. Roth 

Paranormal Shifter Military Special Ops Romance

When loyalties are questioned and bonds forged, the Immortal Ops find themselves fighting a war to guard not only their secrets, but their lives as well.

Missy Carter leads a rather boring, overworked life as a system analyst for the State Department or rather, that’s what she lets everyone believe. In reality her life is anything but boring. As a Shadow Agent with the Paranormal Security and Intelligence, she’s seen and done it all. Intelligence is her specialty, assassination is her hobby. The only problem is that the things she spies on don’t die easily. In fact, some of them were dead to begin with. She’s learned to handle anything life can throw at her. That is until the biggest paramilitary pain her backside shows up again. Lucky for him, he’s good looking.

Roi Majors, wolf-shifter and second in command of the I-Ops, is having a hard time believing that Intel can only get half the information needed to bring down an underground ring of vampires with big-spending backers who are hell-bent on creating a race of supernaturals with multiple strands of DNA in them. When he finds himself paired with the one woman in the world who seems immune to his self-proclaimed charms, he can’t wait to see her to safety and then bid her good riddance. He never counted on falling in love with her. And he sure in the hell never counted on her claiming to be an agent with a branch of the government no human should know about.

Ratings and reviews

Another winner, but then they always are from Mandy Roth. We get to revisit a fun bunch of paranormal guys with locker room humor, complete loyalty, and the evil paranormals and scientists worst enemies. Corbin leads this group of unruly guys. As scary as these super guys are, they are all totally submissive to his Alpha mom and she wants grandchildren. Back again setting him up with another candidate he'd do anything to get out of the blind date. Always impeccably dressed, groomed and in control, at least until he is on his way to the obligatory date he sees (and scents) a woman who climbs into his mind. However, he gets called to an assignment and never gets to the date or to the woman. Mae is just as reluctant to meet him. And when the date falls through … well you'll have to read about that. She can't control her power and is not a dater. She lives vicariously through her best friend who is a dater and how. Quiet beauty, studious and not ready for a man. Corbin discovers one of the women he is assigned to rescue from paranormal trafficking is the woman he stood up. Now guilt is added to his already mix of emotions. There is plenty of paranormal action, team antics, steam, and new characters you will love. By the way, if you can guess what Corbin's lady calls the randy Striker before it is revealed, you can put my pic on wall of shame for this week. The strongest of recommendations for this one

I love the expanded version of this story! Missy and Roi are truly fight like cats and dogs. There chemistry is amazing and it is hilarious to see them fight their attraction to each other. Especially when Roi keeps sticking his foot in his mouth. Missy is an amazing woman who leads a double life...much to her detriment when Roi tries to figure her out. However, I fell in love with him when he told her he would stick by her no matter what. These two may fight and "hate" each other sometimes but they fall fast. Mandy did an amazing job on these stories!

I have read this book before the anniversary edition and loved even more so now .Yes it has been extended some and we keep more of a look into Roi and Missy's story. However that's not why I love this one. I love this story because it is true to Mandy's Roth's writing style . Every moment was fill with suspense fuelled with hot sexual tension feed with hot sex and hard pace action. Roi and Missy meeting was not brought on by that fateful night when him and he's brother or rather team go in for a group of women who they were meant to eliminate buy rather save. No Roi and Missy's pass go much deeper then that.
