There is not much that can I can say that hasn’t already been said. “Fast Vengeance” is a phenomenal read with many returning characters, but this is Brock and Victoria’s story. There are so many great adjectives to describe the drama, action, and romance in their story, but no matter if this is your first read in the series or you have read them all, open to page one, and it will be hard to put down until the very last page is read. Each story is a standalone read and can be read that way, but be forewarned, it will draw you in and if you have not read them all, you will want to go back and do so. A fantastic read, I received a copy of “Fast Vengeance” from NetGalley and leave my review based on my reading. 5 Stars!
Another great read by Ms. Cross. I love this series! In this book we actually get two stories in one! Finally the leader of FAST bravo finds his HEA, After seeing his brothers all find that special someone, Victoria Gomez becomes his special someone. Victoria, an investigative journalism, lost her entire family to the nefarious Veneno Cartel. After which she is abducted and abused by the same cartel. Brock finds and rescues her. After the rescue while Victoria is healing and getting stronger everyday, she develops strong feelings for Brock and a fragile relationship develops. Brock is aware that Victoria will eventually be sent to WITSEC and cannot fathom how he will go on, but things have a way of working out.
In the second part of story, we have quiet and strong, Gabe and Oceane. Gabe is tasked in protecting Oceane when she finds out the truth from her mother about her true parentage. Gabe was not at all happy about his assignment, no matter how temporary. He believed her to be a spoiled brat, but as he protects her, he realizes what a truly wonderful person she is. Their relationship blossoms and grows and Gabe get his HEA.
As per usual Ms. Cross doesn’t disappoint. Her writing is solid and filled with action, suspense, murders, and secrets, I am never bored, Lol. Really enjoyed this story and I pray this is not the end!!! 4.5 solid stars*****
****I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book provided by NetGalley*****
As every book written by Kaylea Cross I enjoyed this one a lot too. It was well developed and well written. Very enjoyable read. The plot was fantastic, the characters real and twists and turns unpredictable. I’m sad it’s the last one in the series (for now I hope because I already miss this group and team).
Brock “Cap” Hamilton is the Captain of the FAST Bravo team. He is such an amazing guy. Seeing all his teammates having families and falling in love he longs for that too. Brock is ready to settle down.
Victoria Gomez is an investigative journalist. She watched her family being killed and then she was taken captive and abused. FAST team saved her. She only trusted Hamilton to be near her from beginning. She is beautiful inside and out, strong, brave and a survivor.
I loved the second story we got with Gabe and Oceane. I’m just glad they got happy ending with each other; they both deserve it. It was beautiful to watch them starting from friendship to something more. Really loved the intertwined story we got we these two amazing couples.
Finally Hamilton and Victoria’s story. I loved them through all these books and their growing friendship, connection and pull.
They were destined to be together. Their connection, pull, attraction, the way he understands her and accepts her – it’s just beautiful. I love how Victoria trusts him and is honest with him especially after what had happened to her. He watched her from being beaten and abused to the woman she became – stong, brave, a survivor and reclaiming her life. The relationship between Victoria and Brock was on borrowed time. She wanted to make their time memorable but plans don’t go as planned so they started having feelings for each other. He wants to keep her safe and to protect her. Neither Hamilton nor Victoria are ready to admit that they love each other. Their bond gets stronger the more time they spend together. Love how Kaylea developed their relationship and made them reconnect.
This is a perfect read for all romantic suspense lovers. Such an entertaining, thrilling ride filled with tension, action. The brotherhood and the close relationship each of the team member have with each other is the heart of the series and that’s why I love it so much. I loved the epilogue even though it’s left a bit unfinished. Loved it and enjoyed it from start to finish. Recommend it.
This is a solid finish to this series. Brock and Tori’s story was so full of love and action. There was so much happening that you had to keep turning the page. We got an added bonus of Gabe and Oceane’s story woven in.
Victoria watched her entire family be murdered on the orders of the cartel boss she exposed in her book. Then she was held captive in chains and abused repeatedly until she was rescued by FAST. The first member to find her was team leader Brock Hamilton. From that point on and during her time in WITSEC they developed a bond.
Brock admired Victoria’s strength and he also had strong feelings for her. He was afraid to let her know just how strong since she had to leave soon as part of the WITSEC program. Then Brock was taken by the same cartel that had held Victoria captive. Could she help get Brock back and would they be able to have a future?
Victoria wrote a book exposing a dangerous drug cartel. Her family is killed in front of her, she’s kidnapped and brutally raped. She escapes and the FAST Bravo team finds her in the woods and rescues her. Brock is Capn of FAST team and stays with her while they check her out in the hospital. She starts to recover and before they put her in WITSEC, she wants to have a normal relationship with a man, Brock. He is more than happy to help but she still has flashbacks. He finds a way to help her gain control and the sex is phenomenal.
They have a lead on one of the drug cartels and must leave at once. While down in Mexico, Brock gets taken in exchange for the mans daughter. He is beaten and tortured before they can get to him. Victoria is sent with them to Mexico to see if she can identify any of the men who had her. Once Brock is rescued, he knows it’s a matter of days before they ship Victoria to her new home. Will he give up everything to be with the woman he has fallen in love with?
Great characters, story flows smoothly and a couple of sexy scenes. Action, mystery and really bad guys. Will keep you on the edge of your seat.

As with all the FAST DEA books, the characters came to life. I wanted to help them overcome their struggles and attain their dreams. Very exciting and fast paced. Also wanted Brock and Tori to have a happily ever after!
