Misty Evans is one of the authors I know I can count on for an outstanding read and Man Hunt is a perfect example of the reason. Fast-paced action and a great plot combined with delightful wit and steamy chemistry create the perfect blend for a must read romantic suspense, and that is before we look at the amazing leading characters! Ryker, a covert agent for the CIA who must rise from the dead to protect the little boy who has come to see him as a father, and Mia who put her career on the line for her autistic sister, must work together to protect the things they prize most in the world.
Kept me interested from beginning to end. Would surely recommend.
A good beginning for a spin-off of SEALS of Shadow Force.
This time, we are going to get to know spies.
Ryker Baptiste was a CIA agent who, in order to protect a young boy and honor his mom’s final words, he faked his death and is on the run with the boy. He constantly looking over his shoulder , trying to stay a step ahead of any possible evil forces .
Mia Shaine was his handler, and lost her job while trying to help Ryker. She was the “voice” that he still hears in his dreams.
Both are protective of those dear to them , one a boy, the other a sister.
When they are both offered jobs with a “special” group , they take it. Not realizing their lives would be once again intertwined.
The plot is fast paced, full of action, and of course, romance.
In the end, will Mia and Ryker overcome the obstacles and find their HEA, or will it be a thing of their past?
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
Great story, fun characters, well written.
I love this author. I even have the next one in this series per ordered
SEALs of Shadow Force + spies = YES, PLEASE!
Ms. Evans’ new series gets off to a great start–it grabbed me from page one and just wouldn’t let me go until I’d turned the last page. I loved both Mia and Ryker as characters–throw in the fact that they’re spies on an undercover mission, and yeah, I’m pretty much a goner… 😉
The action here is non-stop, as is the danger–sure, their romance is more than a little insta-ish (they knew each other briefly in the past, from a distance–Mia was Ryker’s handler for the mission that changed both of their lives forever, but they’d never met in person), something the characters themselves actually address at one point.
“I’ve known you forever, at least that’s how it feels, and fieldwork counts for weeks, not days. Months, even. Those kinds of situations bring out the best–and worst–of people, and you passed with flying colors.”
Yeah, that worked for me, too…I felt like I aged a year or two reading this one; it was so edge-of-my-seat stressful! (But in the best way, of course…)
This is the first book in her new series, a spin-off of her SEALs of Shadow Force one. Several of that series’ characters do make appearances here (Queen B is in charge of this division too) but you don’t have to be familiar with them or their books to enjoy this book. If you’re new to Ms. Evans, this is a great place to start!
Rating: 4 stars / A-
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is an addition to the Shadow Force series. We still get to the gang, but a new batch get to work their magic. This one had me hooked right from the beginning. The action and suspense had me on the edge of my seat. Ryker had me won over instantly because watching him with the little boy melted my heart. This book definitely shows you the nasty seedier side of life. I always look forward to Misty Evans books because she may take you on one heck of a ride, but the ending always makes the journey worth it.

Intriguing suspense, twists and turns, budding romance fills this story from beginning to end.
Brought back from the ‘dead’ to finish a mission Ryker is partnered with newbie agent, Mia who has her own agenda to complete the assignment.
Can they learn to work together in order to capture the criminal and protect thousands of people?
Misty Evans has once again created a story of adventure and romance that will have you not want it to end.
Misty Evans kicks off her new spin-off series with a fast-paced, action-packed story that has both the romance and suspense that I have come to expect from her. With lives at stake and perhaps a bit of payback to deliver, Ryker and Mia proved to be great partners – both professionally and personally!
I loved both Ryker and Mia and loved seeing these two become partners and then more. Both of them have a protective streak that runs a mile deep, so keeping who they love safe drives them to see their mission succeed. Mia was such a great heroine. She’s new to the spy game but, knowing she has the training, isn’t afraid to step up and do what is needed. And having Ryker to support her through was just perfect – even if he did have to fight his over-protective alpha side at times and let her do her job. I also loved that Mia wasn’t your typical alpha heroine but rather she uses her intelligence and ability to take on her spy persona to succeed, which made it that more satisfying when she did have to go all bad-a$$.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s hard to go wrong with a Misty Evans book. She always delivers the perfect mix of romance and suspense, tailored to fit each story and the characters she writes. Her use of secondary characters always adds an additional dimension to the main characters which helps to tell their story, and, for me, I love to catch up with some of my favorite characters that she has created.
As with all Misty Evans books, this is one that belongs on every TBR shelf!
