IsabellaI’ve never been the type to get on the wrong side of the law until the day I did. I was given two options, to either go to jail for a very long time or become an agent for the CIA. I’m unlike any other agent, though. Most of my colleagues don’t have families like I do. You see, I’m Romanian and the purest of blood flows through my veins.Since time has passed I believe I was targeted … was targeted because of who I know. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been sent on this mission, to take down Franco Falcone of the New York Crime Family.
There’s just one problem, my mission requires me to act like I’m interested in him. If my heart didn’t belong to another this could be easy, but it isn’t because my heart belongs to Marcellus Baptiste.

Audio Review
Covert (The Clans, Book 9) is jammed packed with action, secrets and truths coming out. With unexpected twists swirling through the pages with this covert undercover operation. A intriguing twist on a dark mafia storyline. Looking forward to listening to the next audio in this series.
Amber Bray’s naration is entertaining to listen to. Her inflection changes with the characters and their emotions.
I love this book! This is the 9th book in the series and if you have been reading the series you’ll know that the books just keep getting better! You get to see how all her book series connect and it just makes the the stories even better! If not, you could still read it as a standalone and it’s still great! Anyways, I love seeing the characters of other books show up in this book – it makes it more fun to read them. This book is about the story of Isabella and Marcel; you get to see how they end up together – all the ups and downs they have to pass to get their HEA. I highly recommend this series; it’s great!
I am in love with this series. This is the ninth book and it is Marcel and Isabella’s story. Isabella has always had a crush on her best friend’s brother, but she never thought he would go for a girl like her. With his father’s passing, Marcel is now the head of the Funar clan. This starts right where the last one ended. You find out who lived and who died. Prior to all this Isabella was nabbed and forced to work for the CIA, because of the crimes her father committed and she signed for. He pretty much left her to take the fall. Now she is going after the Falcones, the sickest crime family ever. There is a lot of action, secrets, truths and some twists that are thought the books. When Marcel finds out what Isabella is doing, he wants to keep her safe and protected. You will be taken a bit on an emotional ride. You will see some faces you may or may not have seen in other series. I could not put this down until I was finished. It is a story that had me hooked from the beginning and I loved most of the characters. Snatch this up and see what happens when someone connected to the Clans has to work for the government undercover.
Covert is the ninth book in The Clans series which features Isabella, who is forced to infiltrate the Franco Crime Family by the CIA, and Marcellus, who attempts to protect her. I recommend this well written and suspenseful novel which has a complex plot, wonderfully developed characters, violence, danger, intrigue, steamy chemistry, and passionate love.

A great installment in the Clans series. This was Isabelle and Marcel’s story and it is a good one. It gets dark at times but if you stick it out you’ll be rewarded at the end. Ready for the next book!
Isabella is set up by her father and the CIA pull her in to help find out info on the Falcones. All the while, getting the attention of Marcel – the one man she has secretly loved for years.
Marcel finds out what Isabella is doing and every instinct of his has him doing everything he can to protect the woman he has come to realize is meant to be his everything.
This story pulled me in from the first chapter, I read it in one sitting because I had to see if our two main characters got their happily ever after and if the Falcones were shut down once and for all. Elizabeth and Iris know how to write and build a world full of characters that will stick with you. There are even appearances of characters from previous books within the story. You don’t have to read the previous books in the series to follow this storyline, but it helps since there are re-appearances. I was not able to put this book down once I started to read, looking forward to the next book.
Humm…Not sure where to start with this one other than the fact that I had a lot of mixed feelings about the story and although I didn’t love it I didn’t hate it but, for me I just could not connect with the characters as they were like-able but, not love-able.
I thinks the bottom line is that these authors did not give you enough time to bond with these characters if you had already read some of the previous books in this series you might have already known somethings about them but, for us just coming into the series we new very few facts about them other then a few things that were mentioned in passing so this did not give a chance to get to know more about their past of present other that the facts of what clan they worked and belonged to and what they did for a living although we rationed out how this couple was already connected to one another . The other thing that did not work for me is where was the part that engaged the readers emotions because I felt that every move made just felt clinical as well as cut and dry.
For example though my eyes
Isabella is forced to go under for the CIA really being blackmailed and although they tried to give her some tools to protect her they were not enough and Isabella already knew what kind of man she would be dealing with and expected that she would have to make personal sacrifices so she wanted to have a choice in giving something like her virginity away to someone she loved without it being taken from her.The whole scene just played out and it was like no feelings were even involved at all and for me and doing the whole deed was just like they were going through the motions and it was like their was no connection between the characters at all. This should have been down right hot and scorching for this couple as she was secretly in love with Marcellus for years and even though Marcellus never admitted it he lusted after her for years so where was all the passion the fire the build up in their coming together ? Their intimate moments should have been explosive!
After everything that Isabella endured at the hands of a monster she just seems to go on with her life as if nothing tragic/sick/painful just happened to her as their is no breakdown ? no emotional pain?nothing?she showed no emotions what so ever and even after her explaining and Marcellus hearing her story that man should have been a raving lunatic out for blood and revenge and wanting vengeance “yes”, he was pissed but, he should have wanted to be the one to take out anyone who hurt her and we understood that others parties involved had a stake in what was happening and not that we expected him to carry out any of these things because of the circumstances but, he sure as hell should have wanted to do these things to avenge a women who belonged to him and in there lies yet another problem when I said I felt no emotional attachment to any of these characters he was a made man in the mafia for christ sakes and then you had the fact that not once did I hear these two main characters say I love you face to face.
I know this book is fictional and sometimes as readers we have to keep reminding ourselves when reading stories like this and that their not real but, the reason we read stories with fictional mafia related characters is for the fact their filled with danger and suspense and a whole lot of hot alpha men then you have the twisted plots and the excitement and plots that engage the readers emotions to the tune you have a personal stake in their outcome an so forth and all these things just fell flat for me in this story because I felt all these things were missing from this ongoing story.
Although this story was not personally for us it was enjoyable enough to pass the time and we did like the fact the we were indeed surprised that the CIA had another fish on their hook as they say to do their dirty work for them and that was a big surprise that we didn’t see coming of who that person was “so”, we did indeed love that part.
Another Thrilling Ride!
Marcel and Isabella’s story is one hell of a roller coaster ride of action, suspense and intense sexual tension. You won’t want to put this one down as it will hook you right from the start. The chemistry between these two characters is powerful and highly combustible. There are so many little twists and turns throughout that will definitely keep you highly entertained and captivated. This is definitely a thrill ride of epic proportions.
Phenomenal writing and storytelling once again from these two amazing authors. I need more!
Isa and Marcel has me smitten. This is the first book I’ve read in this series and I most definitely will go back and start from the beginning. This book has something for everybody. Just enough sexy, sweet and dark. GREAT read

Absolutely loved Isabella and Marcel’s story. It was so amazing. I couldn’t put this action packed book down. Such an intriguing storyline that it kept me on the edge of my seat riveted to every single word. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing read.
Never a dull moment with this series and it keeps getting better and better with each one.
Isabella and Marcel is a dark intense, emotional, twists and turns and some things that will bring tears to your eyes. Amazing read full of so much you won’t know where it will lead. And it brings in some characters you might know and love. So can’t wait to read the next in this series
Targeted and forced to go undercover
Covert is the ninth book in The Clans series. I found the story-line interesting and the characters were intriguing but I was not completely enamored of it overall. The story itself seemed disjointed and the writing did not flow as well as some of the other books by Elizabeth Knox. I had a hard time following some of the story and would have liked more depth to the characters and some additional time and detail in certain parts. Overall for me it was an okay read but not my favorite by this author and I am peeved about that as the book description looked like it was going to be really interesting.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Loved it!!
Another awesome book by Elizabeth Knox and Iris Sweetwater. Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down. It’s hard to believe that this is the 9th book in The Clans series and I can’t wait until the next book comes out!!!
This is book 9 in this series. You do not have to read the others but some characters reappear in this story. There is a rape scene so if this bothers you do not get this book. This book will take you on a wild fantastic ride full of suspense drama conflict and and little love thrown in.

Oh man where do I begin on this review….. I have so many thoughts running through my mind that I don’t know where to start. I mean Elizabeth and Iris knocked this baby out the park. As soon as I started reading it I knew I was not going to be able to put it down because it had me hooked.
This is Isabella and Marcel and dam what a story it is. Poor Isabella being asked to do the unthinkable but needing to do it because she wanted her freedom and her freedom came at a huge cost. So she is asked to go on this dangerous mission and she agrees as long as she and her father are safe. Only their is one thing keeping her from doing her job effectively and that is her heart.
Can she go against her heart or will it be her downfall??????? You have to read this to find out. Let me tell you this series is worth reading because it hooks you in and keeps you there until the end.
Isabella has had a crush on Marcel forever!
Now she is forced to go undercover to bring down a dangerous and ruthless man.
Marcel and Isa prove that dreams do come true.
Action packed drama, suspense and love.

This is book nine in the series, and focuses on Marcel and Isabella. Isabella is Aria’s friend, and has been interested in Aria’s brother Marcel for years. What brings Isabella to Marcel’s attention is nothing good, and the only course of action Marcel can take to keep her safe is to leave her in danger. Although you can probably read the romance of each couple as a standalone, you’ll miss the overall plot arc if you do. At this point, it’s a crazy tense, nail-biting situation of which no good can come. Fantastic series, looking forward to the next book!
