great read
Sergeant Dante Strak is unapologetically male. He is a protector and good at it. He is sent to Bellex 3 to retrieve a sample of the designer drug Cobalt and to investigate what has happened to the Boundless medical crew that has mysteriously disappeared while investigating Cobalt overdoses on Bellex 3. His investigation leads him to Dr. Tyra Li and more than he was ready for. I really enjoyed this story. Tyra may be diminutive but she has a huge heart and takes no crap. This story poses a scary proposition for the future and it is good to know there will always be champions out there. This is the second in the series but can be read stand alone.
A great sidebar to a series called the drift. When series keep going I am huge fan as more characters get complete personality and it starts to seem real I can’t get enough and I am hooked to find out who the gray men are
The Nova Force crew is a force to be reckoned with. They are still investigating ruthless corporations and saving as many people as possible in the process. Dante is the consummate warrior and is pretty bad to the bone. Tyra is a caring, compassionate and determined doctor. This is a perfect example of action-packed romance in a constant dangerous situation. The crew is like a family that kids around with each other joking, picking and teasing until it’s time to work, then it’s all business. They all have their own problems and faults, but that’s just how family is. I loved Nico, too. Magi is the joker and I can’t wait for his story. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
What a great story. It is packed full of danger, action, passion, strong characters, great dialog and a swift-moving plot. I loved the characters in this story. Dante, overprotective and single minded, always mission first until he almost lets Tyra think he is no longer interested. Nico, so loyal to the ones he cares about, his hero worship of Dante and love of burgers and ice cream. Tyra always helping people no matter the danger to herself. An excellent read packed with excitement, suspense and romance. Ms. Hayes did a remarkable job bringing this read to life flawlessly.
FRAXXXX! I loved this book. It packs a serious punch and leaves one heck of a book hangover. I do not recommend starting this book before going to bed. It is hot and steamy with danger and mystery added. Rules will be broken, lives lost with others saved, and an even greater mystery left me speechless.
I loved Dante’s and Tyra’s journey to their HEA.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
Operation Cobalt is the second book in the Nova Force series. Tyra is on a corporate owned planet, trying to help those in need, and trying to find out more information about a new drug, Cobalt, when her and her fellow doctors are attacked. Dante has been tasked with going undercover to find the medical team, keep any survivors safe, and find out more about Cobalt. Tyra doesn’t make it easy for Dante, but they’re realizing they make an amazing team. But just as their relationship gets going, the corporation has other plans, and soon they need to fight. Can Tyra and Dante find their future and keep each other safe?
Oh my goodness, I’ve been waiting for this book and loved every second I spent reading it! This was action packed, full of more secrets, and I absolutely loved Tyra and Dante together! Tyra was humble, full of spirit, passionate, and caring. Dante was protective, caring, cool and collected, but would give his all to save those he loves. They both had a strong sense of duty, a drive that let them help and protect those in need, and I think this helped make them such a strong team and passionate couple. While the romance stands alone, the drama builds from the previous book in the series, and man, that drama was awesome! It was so interesting to see what a corporate owned planet was like and how it was run and what the employees and assets were like. I just love the imagination of Ms. Hayes and the world that she’s creating in the Drift! If you love sci-fi romances, definitely give this book, series, and world a chance!
An exciting book!
I love the Nova Force crew! They can be funny, irreverent, they love each other like family, yet they perform their duties like a well-oiled machine. Their mission is to investigate what is happening on Bellex 3. Greed may be the reason for the appearance of devastating designer drugs on the planets the big corporations own.
Dante is well-versed in physical combat and has a protective streak as wide as he is tall. When he first sees Tyra fleeing for her life, he takes care of the problem. Three of them. It doesn’t take long before the attraction between Dante and Tyra begins.
Tyra has devoted her life as a doctor to helping people who typically don’t have adequate care. I love her dedication to her mission, even though her selfless behavior could bring danger in her direction.
Nico, a street urchin, is definitely one of the special people in this book – I admire his resourcefulness, and ability to keep people safe. I think you’ll love him as much as I do! Danger surrounds our people throughout this book; it’s intense reading, but there is still enough time to fall in love. Don’t miss it!
Nova Force goes up against the “Big Baddies” again…
This team of misfit soldiers have to pull together to combat evil in the galaxy, and while the storyline is mostly about Tyra and Dante it’s also about how this group has formed a family. While the action is pretty rapid fire the mysterious drug our group is trying to find is elusive, adding suspense to our tale. Tyra and Dante are attracted to each other right away but not the overwhelming fated mate kind, more of a mutual respect and admiration, which to me is more tantalizing. And when they come together it’s explosive. Don’t miss this sci-fi thrill ride.
Book 2 in the series contains the same great world, quality of storyline and fantastic characters.
This story centres around a different member of the team than book one. So, so good.
