Can you outrun death?

Zoe Anderson-Howe's pampered life is abruptly shattered when she's taken hostage by FARC guerrillas while on a business trip to Bogota. While her father struggles to come up with the ransom, the British socialite must endure hardships that test her both mentally and physically.

Elite Operative Fetch has been living in the Colombian jungle for six months on a mission to infiltrate the FARC and orchestrate the rescue of western hostages. When Zoe is added to her assignment, Fetch's sense of duty must override the disdain she initially feels for the self-indulgent tabloid queen.

The task of freeing Zoe gains new urgency when it appears she may be key in stopping a mysterious new virus that is racing across the globe, killing indiscriminately. The support Fetch counted on is needed elsewhere. Can she get Zoe out of there on her own, and will that be enough to save the millions of lives in peril?

Fourth in the romantic intrigue series: Elite Operatives.

 

Book Review

This fourth book in the ‘Elite Operatives’ series overwhelmed my senses and fears with its two main story threads. Both were devastating and difficult to get my mind around. However, they were brilliant foundations to weave the primary love story and coordinated efforts from previously spot-lighted EOO operatives in a panic-level coordinated rush to save the world. Really! I was both exhausted and exhilarated by this book and once again, it is not to be missed! 

Fletch is unlike any of the previous operatives from earlier books. She is a 100% dedicated soldier working primarily alone under harsh and trying circumstances. Early in the book she suffers a devastating loss yet she diligently pursues completing her mission under incredibly trying circumstances. Her feelings for Zoe were deliciously diverse and definitely added to my enjoyment of this book.

Zoe Anderson-Howe is the classic spoiled rich girl but with some amazing hidden depths that come to light. Her rich girl exploits are all over the tabloids and that truly stresses out her father. Her badass attitude does not serve her very well when her life takes a major turn for the horrible. To say she goes through a significant life change during her trying ordeal is an understatement plus it is a gem of an evolution that made me really like Zoe a whole bunch. Her evolving feelings for Fletch created an additional sparkling plus to my enjoyment of this book.

I continue to be totally amazed at how spectacular the Elite Operative series is. I can tell now these books should be read in order although I thoroughly enjoyed book six without the benefit of having read books one through five. Since earlier primary couples play an important part in the push to save the world in book four, this is the first book that would be harder to enjoy as much without having read the previous stories. It would be wonderfully startling and possibly a super boost to women everywhere, if one or all of these books could be presented in a visual form. I feel like I might be one of the biggest fan on the planet of this series!
