Act of Freedom

I have read every book in this series/world and I’ve been dying for Stryker’s story. I have to say… it was worth the wait. <br />There were things I liked and disliked, as with most books, but I really feel like this story was well written and well thought out. Stryker’s history was believable and interesting, the obstacles the couple had to overcome held my attention and added depth to the story. I strongly disliked the Armand stuff (I feel like there are plenty of other people Edee could have relied on for that need), but feel like that added another layer to the complications with their relationship. Definitely a great addition to the overall series and I already can’t wait for the next addition

FINALLY! Striker and Edee finally have their book and it exceeded my hopes for them. I was beyond hooked and stayed up way to late reading. There was not a slow part in it. We all knew that it would take a fireball to take down the fun loving playboy Scot and Edee definitely is a fireball. Their HEA took over 5 years. After a heated evening of verbal foreplay all heck breaks loose and Edee is taken. Striker never gives up and chases down every lead but like all the others, he doesn't realize who she is to him. Fast forward... something strange is happening between these two and to both of them. An old foe comes back to haunt them. They are in a danger that is un imaginable and now that they finally get together, they must stay alive.<br />

Striker is such a multifaceted character. There are a lot of layers to him and this book helps show how he became who he is now. And his mate is perfect for him. She loves him for who he is and won't put up with any of his crap. I'm looking forward to catching glimpses of their life together in future Ops books. Another fabulous addition to the Ops world by Mandy M. Roth.

From the first time he smelt the most wonderful smell of cherries and spice It was hook, line and sinker. He just didn't know it.<br /><br />The one book all I Op World followers have been waiting for. Dougal "Striker" McCraken, has found his forever mate. No more one night stands for this wolf. Though he is sure he would never get a chance with a woman like Edee Lachenbruch, she was smart, beautiful, and has the man off kilter, on one hand she would set his blood on fire to the likes he has never known and then on the other she was a stubborn, irritable woman.<br />Even though he knows the house she is living in with her best friend and her mate who just happens to be one of his most trusted friends, she is safe, he can't help himself needing to keep watch of the property, just to make sure no harm will ever happen to her will happen again. But when those who he thought infact when everyone thought were dead return to take back what they believe to be theres, all bets are off.<br /><br />I know I say that every new book in this series is the best one, well guess what?... THIS IS the best book of the series Mandy M Roth has written. Ms Roth has the knack to pull you in from the very first page and make it feel as your part of the story, so be sure you have the front door locked, phone off the hook and the tissues ready at hand. <br />In this book you will find it is fast paced, and chock full of humour, the banter will have you laughing aloud, we get to meet new characters from new departments as well as some old favourites. Great fighting scenes, some romance and sexual content and the good ole favourite a HEA. <br /><br />I truly recommend you read this book , it can be read as a standalone, but I wouldn't advise that, to get the feel of all the characters I recommend you start from the very beginning at book 1 The I Ops.

I just want to say Act of Freedom was by far the best book in the whole series...wait the whole Immortal OP's world so far. Mandy you out did yourself again. <br /> Act of Freedom is Dougal "Striker" McCraken's book, anyone who is familiar with Striker and the I.O.P's knows all about Striker and this book is very long waited and it was well worth the wait.<br /> Little bit about Striker his, wild, fun loving and a Ladies man or so he thinks,that until he meets Edee who seems to be the female version of Striker.Oh boy is he in trouble cause he falls for Edee so fast. In all his 700 + years being born a wolf shifter and all he has never felt so confused as why he feels so deeply for a female before. <br /> Edee and Brooke have been through so much in the last 5 years they been abducted, tested on and tortured for eight months only to escape and be on the run for a number of years. They also found out they were more then human.<br /> Since their escape Edee has battled constant nightmares of what happened to her and those that inflicted the most unspeakable of acts upon her. Those very acts left Edee scared and very untrusting of strangers. But Edee meets Striker again after 5 years she feels very comfortable and know deep down he can be trusted and will never hurt her.<br /> This book had me laughing so hard. It had me crying tears as well of having me on the edge of my seat,even all of the above a moment or two. <br /> The best part of this book was Striker finally admitted Edee was his mate, and they took out some of the higher up bad guys. I love happy endings.<br /> You should read this whole World, series and this book. Hint read Act of Passion, and Act of Brotherhood before reading Act of Freedom...it help set up the whole story.<br />

“Act of Freedom” is the ninth story in the Immortal Ops series and within this series it is Book 8, in the Paranormal Security and Intelligence series and it does not disappoint! Filled with suspense, mystery, romance, danger and lots of HOT, sexy scenes from page one! This can be read as a stand alone but I believe it is enjoyable to read all of them. Mandy Roth intertwines the characters from earlier books and they are an integral part of the story.<br />Dougal “Striker” McCracken is a member of the Paranormal Security and Intelligence Ops and known for his carefree unconventional and reckless attitude. Edee believes the villain from her past who tortured her and now, appears in her nightmares is dead so she is settling into PSI headquarters. But, the nightmares are getting more intense, the memories becoming clearer and are frightening her and bringing her pain. She hears voices of those she thought were dead and gone and has visions of faces that terrify her.<br />When Striker and Edee meet, the electricity flows between them. The interaction and chemistry between them is wonderful. Striker shows us how his Alpha Wolf protects what is his and helps to heal both of their hearts.<br />Mandy Roth gives us another well written and thought out story filled with excitement, laughter, fun and enjoyment! <br />The scene when Striker continually fell into the pool keeps you laughing. You need to read it to try appreciate the humor. Then, we have the child Bethany telling the adults that Striker wouldn’t hurt Edee and it kept them from making the situation worse. And, left the reader smiling.<br />The story kept me on the edge of my seat, it is fast paced, has suspense with many twists and turns! The road is never straight and assured. Can’t wait for the next story!!<br />

Vampires and Werewolfs and Faes, OH MY!<br />This one put the P in paranormal and has just enough of a creepy factor to give you the willies.<br />Five years ago Strikers life forever changed. That was the first time he met Edee. Before her it was drinking, sex complete the next mission then repeat, and that's the way he liked it. Nothing has been the same since that day, he never stopped looking for her.<br />When Edee was kidnapped, between being tortured, she would fantasize about Striker saving her, that he was looking for her. After escaping, with the help of a PSI-Shadow Agent Division team, her and her friend stay hidden from their captors.<br />Fast forward and they're suddenly together at PSI headquarters. But she can't decide if she want's to throw him down and have her way with him or choke him. His feelings never changed, he can't stay away form her and it's driving him crazy. When strange things start happening to both of them, both think they're headed for the loony-bin. What neither one of them know is their past is connected to both of their futures in a way no one would ever expect.<br />The twist and turns in this story had me biting my nails and I LOVED IT! I guarantee you WILL NOT see this coming. Striker has always been one of my favorite I-OPS and it was awesome seeing him meet his mate. <br />Edee is so right for him it was almost like a mirror image of himself at times. It was good to finally read about her finding peace and mate she needed.<br />The only thing I didn't like about the book was, , when it was over. :(.. But hey, I can always read it again! <br />. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

OMW my wee Scottish heart is sooooo happy - Striker finally gets his HEA! I feel like I've been waiting forever for this. I know I'm probably biased but he is my favourite on the team.<br /><br />Striker met Edee 5 years ago when she and her bestie, and future Mrs Tut, were kidnapped. They were rescued by the ream but not before they had gone through horrific experiments and assaults. <br /> Edee may give off a take no prisoners vibe and launch innuendo at 1000 pacs but it hides her still very vulnerable core. She got back into dating with Armand, both getting what they needed from the relationship but when Striker lands back in her life - she doesn't quite get why he's suddenly very possessive of her??<br /><br />Poor Striker. I always knew all the posturing, innuendo and quick wit was hiding a scarred heart and I was right! Edee's experiences may be more known to the team but that doesn't diminish Striker's experiences. The banter between these too is epically charged. They have always had a will-they-won't-they vibe and now we get to see what happens when they finally make a decision! <br /> I did feel a bit sorry for Striker, he's been playing "five-finger shuffle" while Edee was essentially in a relationship. It would have been perfect if they both couldn't "ya know" with anyone else but I get why Edee needed that relationship with Armand to help heal. <br /><br />Plenty of twists and WTF Mandy moments lol. Brilliant! My only real gripe is the Scottish accent but given he's THAT old and moved around a lot I'll forgive some of the wonky soundings LOL

This book has been a long time coming in this series. I don't know if everyone else has been waiting as long as I have for Striker's story, but I have wanted it since the first time he was introduced in this series! He is known for being wild and being a player. It's what he wants everyone to know him as. He doesn't want to care about anyone ever again. But no matter what he does, there is someone who see's through him. She will go toe to toe with him with no fear and tell him exactly how it is! And while he burns for her, he also knows she is vulnerable and could be easily hurt. He wants her to be able to heal but he also can't stay away. And once her past comes back to haunt her, he will do anything and everything he has to in order to keep her safe. Even admit to himself that she is his mate and show her exactly what she means to him. <br /><br />I absolutely loved Striker's story!! I was always a little worried that he really didn't have anything more to him but his player ways, I am so happy that I was completely wrong! This man has so many hidden depths and things that he has gone through in his life, it broke my heart! Edee is the perfect person to understand the pain his hides. And she never lets him get away with the things that other's would! I loved their banter back and forth. I was laughing through a lot of it, it was just that good. And the steamy parts are definitely HOT!! I loved how they come together and how their story plays out. Honestly, these stories just keep getting better and better in my opinion. I can't wait to see where we go next!
