About this ebook

 Paranormal Shifter Military Special Ops Romance. Book five in the bestselling series PSI-Ops!

Paranormal Security and Intelligence operative and lion-shifter Malik "Tut" Nasser's past is about to catch up to the ancient Egyptian.

When he agreed to help test a drug that could help supernaturals with control issues, he never thought it would have the opposite effect on him. So when he finds himself fighting the urge to lay claim to a human woman, he's far from prepared for what happens next.

Winning an all-expenses-paid trip to Egypt felt like a dream come true for Brooke Larner. Everything in her life is lining up perfectly-even the handsome new man she's found herself attracted to. Before long she's handing over more than just her heart, thinking it just might be for keeps. When it doesn't go as planned, Brooke finds herself running right into the hands of madmen bent on creating super soldiers. And she soon realizes that creatures from stories and nightmares are altogether too real.

After five years of searching for Brooke, Malik has finally reached his breaking point. Already the obsession to find her left him shifting into a lion in a very public place before being forced on mandatory leave. Still, he can't get her out his mind. The suppression drugs have been out of his system for years. The burning desire for Brooke should have gone with them.

It didn't.

So when chance leaves their paths crossing once more, he realizes destiny is at play. The only problem is, she doesn't trust him and she has a secret she's willing to die to protect.

As demons from their past resurface, they find themselves in a battle to save everything they hold dear.

Ratings and reviews

This is a great story that grabs you from the start and doesn't let you put it down until the very last word. The characters are well written with great chemistry and has an awesome storyline! Mandy Roth just keeps getting better and better. Her character's and the way she weaves them in and out of different stories are just amazing.

How excited am and I and all the other PSI fans. Tut get's his story and it is quite a story. Always in control, Tut was the perfect test subject for the drug that could affect control of the animal inside. It was also the time he met a woman who drew out his lion as well as the man. A night of passion is all it could be. She is human, not mate material. Five years later he's never forgotten her. When they meet again she just wants to run. He wants to see her again. Things have changed. She isn't the sweet young woman he met yet her pull is even stronger. What has changed? When he learns her secret how will they deal? I couldn't put down. Loved the banter pre-mates from the team, the hijinks, the steam, and the world building that has always fascinated me. If you are already a fan you won't want to miss it. If you are new to the PSI, you will be a fan after you read it. A winner and already on my re-read list.

This is one of those series with so many parts that you would think it’s hard to keep track — but it isn’t. Malik, son of a god king, a PSI operative lion shifter, and older than dirt, is in Egypt with his team and others. While trying not to kill Striker they meet two American women, Brooke and Edee. After one thing leads to another, he feels out of control and mate’s Brooke. Shortly after mating , Brooke and Edee are kidnapped and he and his friends look for them. For five years they search, not because of the mating since they were only human and obviously the mating couldn’t take, but because Malik couldn’t let her go. Their unlikely reunion and everything that subsequently happens make for a fantastic story. The humor in this story, in the midst of everything else, was great. My only concern was not about the story, but the cover, which is why it didn’t influence my rating. Malik “Tut” Nasser is supposed to be an ancient Egyptian. Why is the cover model used a Caucasian? I like when covers accurately reflect the character(s). Even when using stock photos, there had to be one that looked closer in complexion to a North African.
