Officer Ashton Fraser had blue blood running through his veins. SWAT was his calling. He lived for the danger and the reward of taking bad guys off the streets. It was a highly intense job, and he was more than willing to do it. The city of Columbia was his town, and he’d do anything to help protect it. To balance out the stressors of work, he became a DARE officer. The kids at the school were … terrific, but there was one teacher who had caught his eye and plagued his every thought.
Deana Dawson’s ovaries threatened to burst every time she watched Officer Fraser with her students. It should be against the law for a man to be that sexy. The flirting was constant, his eyes were always on her, and that crooked grin of his was the highlight of her fantasies. He wanted her, she knew it deep down in her bones, but he hadn’t asked her out. A southern girl like herself wouldn’t dare make the first move.
The explosive passion between the two of them would erupt and be more than either of them would have imagined. Ashton had no problems following his heart when it came to Deana. Even with a target on his chest, Ash was ready to put an end to an enemy he and his SWAT team had battled before.
Now that his future was in his grasp, he’ll stop at nothing to ensure he and Deana get their happy ever after.

Audio Review:
Dirty Operations (Special Weapons & Tactics, Book 3) is a entertaining listen. The friendships between the swap team members are fun to listen to as they are close team. Ash and Deanna’s chemistry, cute banter and sweet & sensual moments blended together with suspenseful twist.
Wen Ross, Trei Taylor dual narration was perfect. They brought the characters and storyline to reality. Loved the performance.

Dirty Operations was a fantastic well written, thrilling story. Ash is a SWAT officer who does volunteer work at a local school for their DARE program. Deana is a teacher who has been crushing on Ash. The chemistry between Ash and Deana was off the charts and when they both decide to throw caution to the wind, the passion is justas hot. Dirty Operations was a captivating read with danger, passion, romance, humor, sassy wit, laughter, and love all mixed together. Readers won’t want to put this new book in the Special Weapons & Tactics series down.

Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Deana is a school teacher and Ashton is an officer in the SWAT team, he goes to the school’s to talk to the children. Ashton was at a school talking to the classroom when he saw Deana, the chemistry between these two are off the charts, he just kept watching her. Ashton was hesitant to ask Deana out because of the job. When you read make sure you have a fan,it is hot and steamy.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

The story is definitely fun, sweet, fast and sexy. Fifth grade teacher Deana Dawson and the S.W.A.T member initially meet when he participates in the schools D.A.R.E program. The kids look forward to Officer Ash Fraser’s visits and so does Deana, who has harboured a crush on him far almost a year. Alas what’s a well brought up Southern lady to do? Throw a sassy wink and a sensual strut his way and see it he takes the hint of course. Ash has definitely noticed Deana but has yet to make his move. On a night out their paths cross and Ash intervenes when Deana’s evening takes a definite turn for the worse. Their relationship goes full steam ahead with some hurdles along the way. The two are perfect for each other.
Ash was a member of the SWAT team, and also a DARE officer for a local 5th grade class at a nearby school. The program brings officers in for some positive interaction with the kids. Deana is the teacher of a fifth grade class Ash works with.
Ash is one of only three SWAT team members who were not in the military before joining. The team is very tightly bound together with a bunch of very alpha males doing their best to keep things good in Columbia.
A bar fight ends with a familiar foe back on tour the hunt against SWAT- and the team is ready to go to war against them again. An impulsive response from Deana ends with Captain Spooky dialed in and ready to lend resources to the efforts.
Some scary and some super steamy stuff is interspersed with team bonding and gal pal bonding.
A hot KU read!
I received an advance copy of this book from Booksprout. I read this book on Kindle Unlimited, and have read most of this series, and other books from this author, on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.
I absolutely love this series! This is book 3 and tells the story of Ashton – a SWAT team member and Deana – a school teacher, who finally act on their long simmering attraction. I loved these two together! They were perfect for each other and like the other books Ashton showed that he would do whatever it took to take care of and protect his woman. The action in this book kept me turning the pages and of course I loved seeing the interactions with the other SWAT team members. I can’t wait to see whose story is next! Definitely recommend reading this!

I love this series and this the third book is just as good if not better than the previous books do yourself a favour read them all
This is Ashton and Deane’s story He is a SWAT officer in the city of Columbia but he also works with the D.A.R.E program she is a teacher at one of the school he attends The attraction between them is explosive and mutual HE won’t make a move because of his job putting him in danger She won’t make a move because a genteel southern woman never makes the first move. When she is a spot of bother she calls him and that is all that is needed to set things alight between them Will they get a chance at a HEA You will need to read to see
The third book in the series brings Deana and Ashton’s story. Sparks fly every time they meet but neither will make the first move. The author does a great job building their relationship and giving them a fiery chemistry. She moves the story fluidly and gives an entertaining story I enjoyed reading.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
What can I say?! I’m a fan of this series and this author and I look forward to the next book in the series. Two people secretly attracted to one another and both are afraid to make the first move. She’s holding on to archaic traditions and he’s using his law enforcement job as an excuse. There’s only so far flirting can go without an actual move being made. Who will prove to be the brave soul willing to take a chance on a possible once in a lifetime romance.

Peyton Banks brings us another great installment in the Special Weapons and Tactics series! While reading the previous books in order would assist in background, it’s not necessary to enjoy Dirty Operations.
Ash is the third member of the Columbia SWAT team but when he’s not being badass, he’s (being completely adorable as) the DARE officer at the local middle school. The sexy SWAT officer has had a little “hot for teacher” thing going on for awhile but doesn’t know if she truly returns his feelings, despite their adorable flirting. When a night out with the boys turns into something more, she leaves no doubt!
Deana thinks the DARE officer about hung the moon but she’s not sure why he hasn’t made a move, especially with all their flirting. She’s beginning to think she might need to take matters in her own hands. It’s easy to forget how dangerous his other job is because he’s so easy going at the school and so great with the kids but someone, or a gang of someones, sets out to remind them that nothing is easy. Will Deana stick it out or will she succumb to the danger.
These two are an adorable couple with great chemistry, cute banter and sweet sexy times. I also loved catching up with the rest of the SWAT team, especially Mac and Declan and their new loves. They’re such a tight knit group and I really love their relationships. Can’t wait for more from this series!

Dirty Operations is book #3 in the series Special Weapons & Tactics. Deana is a teacher at a school, that just so happens to be where Ash is part of the D.A.R.E. program and comes to talk to the children. The attraction between the two is palpable and their romance genuine. This story had an amazing storyline, the characters were engaging and relatable, there was action, suspense, and lots of sexy chemistry. A wonderful addition to the series and a must read!

Dirty Operations: Special Weapons & Tactics 3 by Peyton Banks is amazing! I need to start by saying that I truly enjoy the author’s writing (she is one of my faves) and think that the Special Weapons & Tactics series is one of the best. The series is the perfect combination of hot, alpha male and strong, motivated women. Although this is a series, you don’t have to read all/in order but if you have KU they are all available and honestly, worth the one-click price.
In book three of the series, we meet Officer Ashton Fraser. He is the DARE officer at a local elementary school (adorable!) as well as a member of Mac & Declan’s SWAT team (from books 1 & 2). Ash has a huge crush on the 5th grade teacher, Deanna Dawson. Deanna is reserved and when her friend suggested that she let Ash know that she is interested in him, she has a slight (inner) moment of panic. However, being that she is interested in Ash, and is frustrated that he hasn’t made a move, she decides to take (subtle) action.
Part of Ash’s visit to the elementary school includes his participation in the 5th grade kickball game at recess. It’s when the students, and Ash, challenge Deanna to join the game (one that she can’t refuse) that the sparks between the two begin to fly. Add in Ash seeing Deanna at a bar with another man and the heat really kicks up!! The two have such a sweet and genuine affection for one another that you cannot help but root for their happily ever after. Ash, generally the funny guy in the series, finds that he is getting very serious, very fast.
I loved that this book showed the friendships formed by the members of the SWAT team. They were so funny and supportive of one another that it truly engages the reader. I laughed out loud when the guys, out at the bar, realized that they had made a huge invite error! The special guest appearances from happy couples Mac & Sarena and Declan & Aspen lead to the depiction of the guys not as just members of the SWAT team but as a family is so super heartwarming.
This book is the type that makes my heart happy and gives me all of the feels! I received an ARC in exchange for a voluntary review of this book via Booksprout. I look forward to the next Peyton Banks release and you will, too!
This is the 3rd book in this thrilling series, and is Ashton’s and Deana’s story. Deana is a teacher at a school where Ash, a Swat Officer, comes to talk to the children as part of the D.A.R.E. project. The chemistry between these two is explosive, but Ash is hesitant because of the nature of his job to get involved, but will they be able to deny the sparks between them. This is a beautifully written story which is a perfect addition to this amazing series. I recommend for all readers.
The third book in the Special Weapons & Tactics series, and I would recommend reading the previous two books as there is a running storyline. When Ash isn’t busy with SWAT, he also goes to a school as a DARE officer. He has had his eye on a certain school teacher, Deana, for a bit now, he just isn’t sure if she would be receptive to his advances. When a night out with the guys turns into a brawl, all for Deana’s honor, Ash gets his answer on if Deana is interested or not. When the gang that the guys thought they shut down comes back and makes their presence known, will Ash change his mind about pursuing a relationship with Deana? Or will Deana make it known that she is in for the long haul?
This was a good addition to this series. This did feel a bit too fast paced for me, I wanted just a tad bit more from Deana and Ash. This was actually low on drama and high on the danger side, with some added nice naughty bits. I give this 4 stars.
Dirty Operations was the 3rd installation to the Special Weapons & Tactics series. Ashton had been crushing on Deana for a while since he was an officer who volunteered at her school. The attraction was mutual but they never played on it until Deana ended on in some trouble while on a not so much a date, date. I really liked the book. I falls along the lines of the other books. Men who are working in a dangerous field, giving their heart to their woman. I feel like my only gripe about this book was I felt it was a little slow moving and then everything just happened a bit quickly in the end. Other than that, I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the book. I love seeing women of color in the main heroine position, finding love so it can not get any better than that.

Dirty Operations is the third book in the series Special Weapons and Tactics. The romance between Deana a school teacher and Ash a member of the police force SWAT team was both genuine and sexy. I felt like unlike the previous books this one was full of action but not as much suspense. I found myself questioning a few of Ash’s decisions that put him in danger. I am looking forward to the next installment, but this one was just not my favorite.

Officer Fraser, a SWAT member and DARE officer has a lustful crush on Deana, the school teacher. What happens when officer fate Frasier comes to a rescue and a bar one night? A lot of fist flying when no one comes to her rescue followed by weak knees from a kiss or three. From there it is a roller coaster ride of love, adventure to catch bad guys, complete state school testing and trying to find a way to see if their feelings are more to something long lasting. No cliff hangers but part of a series. HEA? Definitely.
