Brooks

Special Forces: Operation Alpha (Gold Team, Book 1)

By: Riley Edwards, Operation Alpha

Narrated by: Maxine Mitchell, Lee Samuels

Tatiana Jones is no stranger to the battlefield. One look at her scarred flesh tells the tales of her time in captivity. But it’s not only her skin that bears the marks of her failures; doubt and a healthy dose of cynicism now cloud her vision. She has also mastered the fine art of deception. In her line of work it is a necessity.

Former Navy SEAL Brooks Miller is living the good life working as a mercenary. Employed by the highly sought-after Z Corps, a private special-ops company, there are no shortage of contracts sending him around the world. He lives wild and free with nothing tying him down - just the way he likes it.

When the Gold Team’s latest mission takes them to Bahrain, Brooks thinks it will be a quick in and out. That’s until he walks into a shitstorm and comes face-to-face with the woman who’s about to turn his world upside down. There was something working behind her intelligent eyes, and it looked a lot like pain. Not the physical kind, the emotional aftermath of heartache. And when she tries to hide behind snark and sass, he decides on the spot he wants to know more.

Tatiana doesn’t have time for games. She’s on the hunt for the man who left her life in ruins. Brooks has something else in mind, something more, something far more permanent than the no-strings fun Tatiana is offering. He had her right where he wanted her until the hunters became the prey and their world exploded. It will take more than the Gold Team to bring down a Saudi Prince out for blood. Their only hope is the one and only king of all things cyber, John “Tex” Keegan. Can Tex get search and rescue team to them in time, or will it be a recovery mission?

Brooks: book one in the all new Gold Team series features Susan Stoker’s new Legacy SEALs.

True enjoyment and evolved characters.

Exciting story, great character development. Great enjoyment as the story develops. Fast paced and emotionally taught.

Good story line

The sex scenes can be a bit too frequent. I like the way the author brings the audience in and enlightened them about the struggles our men and women face when they are fighting in forgien places and. they lose a team mate.Many take our freedom for granted, but it rides on the shoulders of our men and women who serve.

This is a great book!

I am not sure why the low ratings. Yes. Brooks is a new narrator, but he's not bad. This book had the male and woman steam, sexy moments, we all love from this author. I anticipate the release of this authors books. I'll be listening to the next book.

Loved it!

Gold Team is just the next amazing addition to Zane Lewis' Z-corp. Riley does an amazing job writing these characters. I LOVE Lee Samuels and Maxine Mitchell's narration. Cannot wait for the next one they narriate.

Almost but not quite there

Overall the book was good, however, the story left to many gap, especially the fire fight at the end. Hopefully the next book while be better.
