Cheating the Devil: (Special Forces: Operation Alpha)

Every time Samantha A. Cole writes a book, I'm giddy just wanting to get my hands on it. This book was so darn good. It's a wonderful story of a mature couple, Brad and Avery. Both have been in the military and are semi retired. When they go on a vacation with Brad's daughter Lori, and her boyfriend, they don't know that someone evil has spotted Avery and has revenge on his mind. Avery and Lori are kidnapped and that means that Brad and Cameron swing into action to get their ladies back. Brad calls in his buddies from his Delta Force unit to help out. Who has taken the women and what does he want? You will get totally sucked into this book as Samantha weaves her twists and turns in this book. It will grab you and keep you engulfed in the story. It is so nice to see a story that features an older mature couple who are comfortable in their own skins and who deal with the sexual aspects of a body that isn't "young" anymore. I totally loved this book and loved seeing characters from "Handling Haven".

I loved this book. This is the second Delta Force/Demios crossover book. Oh, my Avery and Brad, the two main characters who we met briefly in Handling Haven are sp yummy. I was thrilled to read how their romance evolved and about their pasts. Samantha tells a great story and these characters are so well suited for each other. I love that they are well into middle age and not in there 20 like so many books now a day. This was well written and true to life. Of course, nothing goes smoothly when they go on holiday and reinforcements have to be called in to save the day.

Brad and Avery’s story was so good! While on vacation something happens and a team of special forces must come to the rescue. I enjoy all the covert missions and the alpha males coming to the rescue. It has some characters that cross over from other series so they made it extra good. It may be a novella but it in jam packed with a great storyline!

I loved this novella, having previously met Brad and Avery in Havens book I was excited to know they were going to get their own book. This novella is not only filled with drama and suspense but it’s ultimately a love story. Just because we’re older doesn’t mean love has passed us by. This is re affirmed within this story. As always we catch up with a few of our favourite characters, not all but some lol. I was on the edge of my seat with this book. It made me keep turning the pages (figuratively ) and I couldn’t put it down. Great book Ms Cole. Loved it

Brad and Avery are absolutely perfect together and I love the fact that they were an older couple. Going to Aruba for a get away with Brad’s daughter and her boyfriend so they can get to know him better turns into a nightmare for Avery and Lori – will Cameron and Brad along with Jordyn and Carter be able to save them in time. You won’t regret this read.

Another fantastic book! Brad and Avery take a vacation to Aruba. It is supposed to be 7 days of fun in the sun. When they arrive at the airport, Avery senses someone watching her. Has someone from her past caught up with her? What happens next kept me on the edge of my seat through the entire book! Definite must read!

Samantha Cole has done it again!<br />Another fantastic read. Loved it.

I loved this book and another great job Samantha!!!

A fast paced page turning book that should be added to the top of your TBR list. <br /><br />Brady and Avery were the perfect H/h and seeing old Trident and Deimos friends was just an added bonus. The right blend of tension and action keep you reading and the flow was fantastic.

Delta Force Colonel Brad Barton and ex Black Ops Agent Avery Knapp have earned themselves a vacation in paradise to help them celebrate their relationship. While in Aruba, Brad plans on introducing Avery to his adult daughter Lori, who, in return plans on introducing her dad to Cameron, the Marine she is dating. It sounds like heaven, right? Except, when you are from the world of Black Ops, you can never fully leave it. <br /><br />When Avery feels as if someone is watching her on the Island, she reaches out to her covert contacts for some intel and possible back up and what they discover is bone chilling. It seems that Avery’s final assignment as an undercover agent has come back for revenge and doesn’t plan on letting her leave the island of Aruba alive. <br /><br />When Avery and Lori go missing, it’s up to Brad, Cam and operatives from Deimos, Trident Security and Delta Force to rescue them before it’s too late.<br /><br />Samantha A Cole did a fabulous job of bringing together characters from three separate series in a joint rescue mission flawlessly. Fans of her writing will recognize characters from both Deimos and Trident Security, while Susan Stoker fans get a few glimpses of her Delta Force heros. <br /><br />This book is action backed with not only intrigue and suspense but plenty of romance as well! I really love that Brad and Avery act like newlyweds and are caught up in their new romance even though they are are a older couple age wise. <br /><br />Avery is a complete and total bada$$. She may have left her duties as an undercover agent behind years ago, but she still has it and will not be taken down easily. Brad is no slouch either, although he’s happy to hand over the reigns to everyone’s favorite black ops operative Carter since he’s way too close to the situation with both his woman and his daughter having been taken. Lori and Cameron, while not the main focus of the book are a really sweet couple that I hope the author revisits in a future story. <br /><br />Cheating the Devil is truly a whirlwind of book that had me finishing in one sitting! It’s a fast and fun read that incorporates everything that Samantha A Cole does best . . . a well developed plot, characters with depth, romance with extreme heat, action from start to finish, and, a visit from everyone’s favorite spy who never fails to show up to help save the day. 5 stars!<br />
