What’s a superheroine to do when her super soldier ex turns up alive after more than fifteen years?Lyndsey Daniels doesn’t have much time to walk down memory lane before she and Ian Fox find themselves thrown together to investigate the mysterious deaths of ten young men in the Canadian wilderness. How do the hearts of such seemingly normal, healthy men just…stop? With the hint of an evil … the hint of an evil spirit in the wind—and a whole lot of butterflies—there’s no telling what Lyndsey and Ian are dealing with, including their own extensive baggage. Though sixteen years is a lot of life to live, there’s one thing they can’t deny: their attraction is as intense as ever. But is it just a spark that will burn itself out, or is it true love bringing them back together? When the force they’re hunting turns its sights on them, the leap of faith required far exceeds the powers of either of them. But worrying about their future might be premature because one wrong move and they might not make it out alive.
In Book One of the Butterfly Ops trilogy, Lyndsey and Ian reconnect fifteen years after seeing each other for what each thought was the last time. That the spark is still there is undeniable—but is it enough to get past the secrets and lies that tore them apart the first time around? With old tensions rearing their heads as new challenges arise, what at first seems to be a sure path back to trust and happiness is rockier than it seems.
Note: this is Book One in a serial trilogy. Book Two will be released in Spring 2019; Book Three will be released in early Summer 2019. Books should be read in order.

I really enjoyed this book! Jen Doyle is an amazing writer, which you will see when you read the beautifully written words. Once I started this book, I was not able to put it down until I was finished and now I can’t wait to get my hands on book 2. Great characters, great story, angst, second chance love, sexiness, mystery and suspense. What more could you ask for??
I would say this is more of a background to the characters book as well as setting the scene for what they will come across when they go out to the forest to investigate things. Be warned this book is pretty wordy, ie there were times I skimmed the sentences but it still didn’t distract from the story too much, my only other irk was that I felt at times Lyn was too ditzy/scrambled when I would expect her to have more control of herself due to what she has been through was well as her job. Now that we know the characters, understand some of the angst and conflict between some of them I can’t wait to get stuck into the next book and see whats going to happen.
An exceptionally written book full of twist and turns as Lindsay and Ian find themselves face to face fifteen years later after she thought she lost him. It doesn’t take much time for the two of them to be thrown into a murder mystery that forces them to acknowledge the truth.
This was a really great story. I was pulled in from the beginning and just couldn’t put it down. I liked all the characters. This book was full of secrets and lies and I couldn’t help but flip through the pages just so I could see what was going to happen. I can’t wait for the next book, I have to know what is going to happen next.
Well written book. I found that it had all sorts genres in it. Chapters were all different and it was told from many points of view. This books has a lot of back and forth from past to present. Overall it was a good read.
It seemed this book went on forever! Very very wordy. The storyline was great but could have been told in half the space. I will read the next one because I want to know what happens with these two.
While the writing was fine, at 400 pages it was overly long and drawn out. I felt the author was over-doing the backstory to save the action for books 2 and 3. This is a paranormal romance (heavy on the romance) with vampires, demons, super-humans, etc. (although we don’t see them in action much here). The heroine was also a bit annoying and immature at times. Not sure if I’m invested enough for book 2, but for those loving paranormal romance, by all means give it a try.
It took me a minute to be able to read book 3. I was still in shock from book 2.
Let’s just say the time I took to regroup was so rewarded! Jen Doyle is fresh and funny and so creative with her characters…. you know it’s fantasy, but for a while there…you think, why the heck not?
Great, fast paced read…I’d love to have more.
Butterfly Ops #3 by Jen Doyle concludes the Trilogy.
Lindsey and Ian are still trying to figure out if their spark is going to catch, or just fizzle out. As they get closer to the answers, the danger gets closer to them. Lindsey thinks she can handle what’s being thrown at them, and still win the man of her dreams (for the last 16 years) and then she finds out there’s a legendary princess? And Ian’s LATE, DEAD wife? Hold on tight for a thrilling conclusion and 5 star read.
My first read by Jen Doyle, but I’ll definitely put the rest of the Butterfly Ops Trilogy on my TBR list. There is alot to dig through here…you have the love/not love story…spanning 15 years. You have some paranormal, government, suspense stuff. Book one takes us through the main characters pasts for the most part…Sexy times to be had as well.
Book 3 starts right where Book 2 ends. You must read this series in order to get the most out of it. So we start with everyone thinking Ian is dead. Lindsey is devastated, and has been crying and punching her punching bag non-stop. She gets an unexpected visit from all 4 of Ian’s kids. They know more about what Ian does than anyone expects. They come to Lindsey because they believe their dad is still alive, and they want Lindsey to go look for him and bring him home. She listens to them and when they ask her questions she answers them truthfully, which earns her a lot of respect from them. Lindsey and the team along with Tessa make plans to look for Ian. There are a lot of crazy twists to this story. Lindsey has to keep proving to everyone that she and Ian really do love each other. There is so much to say, but I really do not want to give anything away and ruin it for anyone. This was a great trilogy. Each book was amazing, and they all went together and you learned so much more about Lindsey and Ian. I look forward to reading more by Jen Doyle.
We pick up where we left off at the shocking end of book 2 where it looks like Ian is really dead this time but …. well nothing ever appears to be as it seems for both Lyndsey and Ian as past experience has shown us! There is a lot of emotion in this book that will leave you nibbling your nails with the situations Lyndsey and Ian find them selves in and you cant help but reflect on what you would do in their place. This is the 3rd and final book in the trilogy and I have to say I found I enjoyed it the most as there was loads more going on that kept your emotions and thoughts going all over the show and thats what kept my hooked until the end!
I really enjoyed this series and loved that this book just jumped back into how it ended on book 2 and now still a lot going on with Lyndsey and Ian if he is not dead from the last book. Anyways I really enjoyed this book such a good way to put this story together and the emotions I am going though with this book was a little intense and had me tear up.
Okay, I am glad I stuck with this series. Book Three picks up exactly where Book Two ends. With Ian presumed dead. Everyone is devastated by Ian’s death except for his kids. They turn to Lindsey to help them prove this. It’s a long shot, but something Lindsey is willing to take a chance on. So her quest begins Lindsey’s search for Ian. It takes a lot of twists and turns along the way. It will keep you turning pages until the very end. What a wild ride this series has been. Jen Doyle, I was on the fence after the first book, but I am glad I stuck with it. Thank you!
Wow, I hated for the series to end but like will all great books it happens. Up against a lot more then she thought. A dead wife /Ancient legendary princess. True Love? Or not? This book has it all Suspense , romance and mystery that will keep you turning the pages… You might even need some tissues, this is a very heart filled book….
This is seriously one of the best series I have read in a long time! I was frantic for this book to release to know how the story ended! Was NOT disappointed! Can’t wait to see what else this author comes up with!
This is book 3 in the Butterfly Ops trilogy. It starts up right where it leaves off on book 2. Must read book 1 and 2. Everybody thinks Ian is dead except his kids. They come to Lyndsey and tell her what they know. Ians daughter was getting messages in her dreams from her mother, who has passed away. Ian was trapped in a paranormal reality with the Butterfly princess. Man this story is a roller coaster. I loved the suspense, romance, mystery and the paranormal. This series kept me on my toes. Great read.
Great ending to an incredible series!! It takes off from where book two ended and it keeps your interest from start to finish. I loved all the supernatural aspects to this story and it was so interesting to read. Sexiness, intrigue and mystery are just some of the perks of this book as well as getting all the answers to the questions you’ve had from the other books.
A satisfying end to the series. I would have loved an epilogue but all in all a good read.
This book is the conclusion in the three book series,, and OMG!!! This is the best one!! There is so much going on this book that’ll keep you hooked and on the edge of your seat!! I found myself constantly holding my breath! This book, this whole series is a MUST READ!!
