Paranormal Security and Intelligence operative and lion-shifter Malik “Tut” Nasser’s past is about to catch up to the ancient Egyptian.When he agreed to help test a drug that could help supernaturals with control issues, he never thought it would have the opposite effect on him. So when he finds himself fighting the urge to lay claim to a human woman, he’s far from prepared for what happens next.… happens next.
Winning an all-expenses-paid trip to Egypt felt like a dream come true for Brooke Larner. Everything in her life is lining up perfectly-even the handsome new man she’s found herself attracted to. Before long she’s handing over more than just her heart, thinking it just might be for keeps. When it doesn’t go as planned, Brooke finds herself running right into the hands of madmen bent on creating super soldiers. And she soon realizes that creatures from stories and nightmares are altogether too real.
After five years of searching for Brooke, Malik has finally reached his breaking point. Already the obsession to find her left him shifting into a lion in a very public place before being forced on mandatory leave. Still, he can’t get her out his mind. The suppression drugs have been out of his system for years. The burning desire for Brooke should have gone with them.
It didn’t.
So when chance leaves their paths crossing once more, he realizes destiny is at play. The only problem is, she doesn’t trust him and she has a secret she’s willing to die to protect.
As demons from their past resurface, they find themselves in a battle to save everything they hold dear.

I love the Immortal Ops world by Mandy M. Roth. Each series can stand alone, but weave together in a larger universe. Simply amazing!
Malik’ s story is full of twists & turns, there are moments of anguish and laugh out loud antics. The author really steps up with this one. Our favourite characters are back and once more the brotherhood engages and protects it’s own. One things for certain Malik has met his match with Brooke and we can hardly wait to see if Edee find hers as well.
this series.
Laugh out loud funny!
Loved it!
I got bored reading this story. It has some potential and then got too repetitive for me
I loved this book. Malika was awesome. I knew he was old and powerful but was surprised by how powerful. I also loved Brooke and her relationship with Edee and how they supported and protected each other.
Act of Passion (Immortal Ops: PSI-Ops #5) by Mandy M. Roth is one of my favourites! Malik and Brooke’s story hit me a little harder than the others and the storyline is actioned packed a little sad and a lot funny. OMG Striker will have you shaking with laughter at his antics. Just like all the others Malik thinks he is influenced by drugs and playing with his mind. But when he realises years later, it could have been more he finally realises how much he could have truly lost. Mandy threw just a little extra in this one and no one saw it coming. I have said it before and I will say it again I love, love, love these series by Mandy.
This starts and ends fantastically but there is a part that upsets me.
Have waited a very long time to get Malik’s story and I ended up feeling sorry for him.
He was cheated by the suppressant drugs, lost Brooke to the Corporation and then his own team didn’t help him keep looking to find Brooke.
Five years later he comes across her again, only to find she has powers and has been living with another man. Just a big no no for me.
Malik has done nothing to deserve what happened.
Yes, he has been with thousands of women but he has also been alive for thousands of years.
He had toned down his manwhore ways, though he had not let the guys know. He only had sex when he needed to keep his beast sated.
He has been faithful to Brook since his night with her.
Things all get explained as to why Brooke was with another man and it makes sense but I had this feeling of sadness for Malik.
Enjoyed having the teams interacting with each other and the banter.
Brooke’s parentage was interesting too.
Loved Striker showing a softer side of himself and Brooke’s best friend Edee, what a laugh having a female Striker.
Bethany seems like she is going to be something special.

This story is a tear jerker with a very happy ending.
Brooke Larner is human or is she?
Both her plus her BFF Edee who is a free spirit, have graduated with there master’s degree (in different areas). They are celebrating with a trip of a lifetime, neither entered, yet won an all-expenses-paid trip to Egypt. Even Brooke finds herself attracted to
a handsome hunk. Working hard on her masters she never had time for any men in her life, to be attracted to this man was new territory for her. Little did the women know, there was a evil plot putting there lives in danger. Well they survive?
Malik Nasser aka:Tut is a Lion Shifter
born in ancient Egypt over a century ago. Deciding to help his supernatural world he is injected with a serum to control his beast. So when he meets the woman of a life time he knew she wasn’t for him, she was human. He pushed her away, never to see her for a long time. Obsessed with finding Brooke, he looks five years to the point that he is ready to lose complete control. They say she’s dead he says she’s not . Can he find her?
A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.
How excited am and I and all the other PSI fans. Tut get’s his story and it is quite a story. Always in control, Tut was the perfect test subject for the drug that could affect control of the animal inside. It was also the time he met a woman who drew out his lion as well as the man. A night of passion is all it could be. She is human, not mate material.
Five years later he’s never forgotten her. When they meet again she just wants to run. He wants to see her again. Things have changed. She isn’t the sweet young woman he met yet her pull is even stronger. What has changed? When he learns her secret how will they deal?
I couldn’t put down. Loved the banter pre-mates from the team, the hijinks, the steam, and the world building that has always fascinated me.
If you are already a fan you won’t want to miss it. If you are new to the PSI, you will be a fan after you read it. A winner and already on my re-read list.
I voluntarily reviewed this advanced reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.
The enigmatic, master of patience, Malik is getting his shot at love!
Malik (Aka Tut to the rest of the team) has taken well to the modern world. Unlike some of his luddite shifter teammates he can google with the best of them. But he has a couple of deep, dark secrets he’d rather his teammates didn’t know about. But when some R&R after a mission in his home country leads him to a top resort he didn’t expect trouble to follow him. When will he ever learn that with Striker about that will ALWAYS happen!
Brooke and her friend don’t remember entering any competitions to win a holiday but as struggling Grad students they’ll take it anyway. Malik immediately is pulled towards her. But it can only be the meds he’s testing right?? Brooke is human as they come. But after a hot and passionate night when Malik all but proposes to her, he kicks her to the kerb, not realising he does to to protect her from the shift that is forcing on him. Later Malik tries to find her only to find out that she and her friend were taken.
Fast forward 5 years and Malik is still searching for Brooke every chance he gets. He keeps smelling that unique scent of hers nearby and it drives him nuts. But not as nuts as when he realises just where she has been and who she has been hiding these last couple of years!
As with any I-Ops/Psi Ops books the vein of humour is large! I love these boys hard. Striker continues to be my favourite (well he is a fellow Scot!) but they all have a home n my heart! Evan Corbin! The A-hole of the Week award is still going strong but what happens when half the team is in the same photo (hint…there is a tea party involved!!!) . As usual I had to read it all in a oner…no quitting for me! Edee is giving Striker a run for his money in the innuendo stakes and I really hope we see more of her! The Corporation are still causing headaches galore for the good guys. No spoilers from me but there are tears at points and I did get a bit irritated by some of Maliks assumptions! But a great book in a fab series!
