Loved Fallon and Rhea’s story
Inpact Zone picks up where Battle Scars left off. This is not a stand alone series. Need to read the books in order as the over all story line progresses through each book.
Carlise Industry is the next op and Fallon and his team are being sent in, with an addition. Dr Rhea Strathmore, Doc to Fallon, and he does not what her in he field. Reha and Bree’s work from collage has been stolen, by Rhea’s college boyfriend. She is needed on site to deal with any chemical or biological weapons’s found. Tucson is the next target. Cuba is on hold.
Fallon Graves is a loaner, ordnance specialist, he was not military trained. He was contracted with HIVE, and when Edge, was taken and rescued, he fallowed her to Arsenal. He owes her his life, his loyalty is to her alone and would follow her anywhere. Doc is a part of that. She also has kept his team in whatever they need to get the job done, no judgement, no questions, asked. She belongs in her lab, doing what she does best. Where she is safe.
Dr Rhea Strathmore is beside herself for her blind trust in Stan Carlise. Her college boyfriend, who stole so much from her and Bree. Who know some much about her. Things that even her best friends don’t know. What he has stolen has put her Arsenal Family in danger and it is up to her to fix it. She is not a field operative. Fallon does not want her on his team.
Fallon’s team is like himself, loan wolves, all with training outside the military, except for his second, Donovan. He sees the benefit of the military training in the other teams. To keep Doc safe, his team needs to learn to do the same.
Fallon and Rhea have been circling each other since they met. Working so close together, Fallon can no longer keep himself distant. His team is already protecting her like one of their own. Confronting Carlise brings things to light that Rhea has never shared with the women closest to her. Fallon shares some of the secrets of his past. He begins to see himself as part of the Arsenal family and not just a contract operative.
Rhea and Bree’s past continue to come back on them. They are up against the Mandrake Group, a block ops organization who is using Rhea and Bree’s stolen tech. And a hacker that is giving Mary and the back office team a run for the money.
Baby Jenson makes her appearance at the worst time.
Fallon’s team along with Rhea and Dallas are taken. Alexis, Levi’s sister, steps up to help.
Rhea and her family have a long over due heart to heart.
An unexpected betrayal, has the Arsenal reevaluating the jobs they are taking.
Mandrake is a problem they will have to deal with soon. Russia first.
Reilly is poking the bear that is Dom DeMarco.
Bree is on the edge.
They still have teams in Russia, dealing with the Carlise problem.
Loved Fallon and Rhea’s story. Fast paced and a little steamy. Can’s wait to see what happens next. Looks like Russia, Addy, Nolan and Marshal, working with Kristof. Love Reilly and Dom, can’t wait to see what happens with that. Love this series. Have already pre-ordered the book. I was lucky to receive an advanced copy, this is my honest review.
Wow. Just wow. So much going on. I feel like I need to journal out for Sinclair. Ok just going to dump random thoughts. Rheas dad is a dick. So controlling and rude god he was a pretentious prick in the hospital. And everything on the phone with her. Omg. Ugh. Loved how Fallon slowly evolved over the story and how his team grew more cohesive although the ‘elders’ didn’t always like how his team operated they were a fluid machine and that knew each other idiosyncrasies. Good good the delivery scene was hysterical both the real and cut one. Just like them to have her water break and continue on like nothing. Rhea kicked ass against her ex and he totally got what he deserved. Ugh Bob pisses me off and I’m so glad Vi told him off more than Once. I understand having contingencies but they blatantly hid vital info from them. Dude so hypocritical. You can’t want someone to take out your trash and then give them a hard time for it after because they are slowly clearing the field and apparently the only competent competitor. Loved how they all rally around one another. And how Addy seems to finally clear more of the air around kristoff. I still think Nolan an Dani are going to end up together eventually. Idk but I do. Just a feeling. I see that info is up for an upcoming book about Bree and Ramon which I like because they both fed over the hair incident in zoeys book. I also think a possible book upcoming although he denies it will be Rile and Dom. He is slightly older cause although he and Raul are tight with Dallas I got the feeling there was at least a year or two deprecating them as well. But their banter was adorable and I think it would work as a semi best friends older brother trope. Loved Fallon and rhea together. They are hot. Can’t wait for next book.
