“The story is very interesting… Navy SEALs, Nepal, Seattle, drug cartels, and a little boy who is trying to escape the clutches of his uncle who is rooted in the 15th century. This story and characters all come together in a page turner!” —LSE587, Amazon

Reformed pampered princess, wild-child and all-out rebel Sophie Dean is on a mission to save the world! She is starting with causes close to her heart. She has been in Nepal for months, working with her mentor and undertaking some charity work, media present or not. But when she is due to go home her mentor springs a surprise on her. One in the shape of a young Pakistani refugee. She is in charge of getting him out of the country to his new foster family.
Finn can’t believe it when Sophie springs their new charge on him. How can he keep her safe when she keeps going off script?!?! But when it comes to Sophie Finn is blinkered. He has loved her so long that he’ll keep her safe no matter what. But there is no way in hell he’ll ever tell her – she is his boss’ daughter and she is almost family as far as his uncle is concerned! He’s just a Special Forces warrior – what could he offer a billionaires daughter?
There are lots of threads through this storyline. Is Sophie, Finn or their young charge the target being sought? Can they get to safety before the various factions after them catch up?
Brilliantly crafted and fast-paced read. Plenty of action to keep you entertained and of course, the obligatory family snark to make you smile. Sophie and Finn are hot, hot, hot. I loved the way Finn and Aiden kept getting interrupted in one way or another when trying to love their ladies!
I’ve got a good idea which brother may be falling for the tigress that is Dani! But I have a sneaky hunch that we have not seen the last of Yasra either!
Jacki Delecki’s Mission: Impossible to Surrender was fast paced, scorching hot and endearing at the same time. The characters were believable, funny and felt like family. It was hard to put down so I read it in one sitting and avoided peeing as long as I could each time nature called!
I purchased this as part of this author’s bundle called THE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE SERIES: Books 1-3.
I enjoy military stories being Ex Navy Women Veteran. This wasn’t as exciting as book 1. Yes, there are elements of danger, but didn’t rock my boat as the first in the series.
Some cross over character’s so would make it more meaningful to read the first of series. There are nasty villains and strong male and female and male character’s.
Lovemaking outside of marriage heat level 5 out of 5. Bedroom door wide open.
No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA, little on romance, suspense, violence and steam (ljb)
Wooohooooo, this is the 2nd book in the Impossible Mission saga, and I really, really loved it. Sophie is now a humanitarian, quite different from the girl that Finn remembers, Finn is back home and wants to confess to Sophie all the feelings he has had for her all these years. Finn is tasked with protecting her and now having to deliver a young boy, who happens to be Sophie’s new charge. Filled with action, witty banter, humor, hot sex scenes, and a wild ride made for an awesome read! Loved it!
******4.5 stars

I received this Kindle e-book through a Goodreads Giveaway. This is the first book that I have read by this author. There is a quick pace and lots of action along with some romance. Besides this, there is an orphan being transported to a relative in the US, a gang of drug dealing motorcyclists, a drug cartel, a major charity event, a kidnapping, alpha male security experts, a rock musician, and much more.
The book is well-written except for a few editing errors. Due to the mystery/suspense and the pure entertainment of the novel, I gave it 4 stars.
Amazing story! After reading the first book in the series, I knew I was in for a terrific and wild ride with Sophie, Finn and the Special Ops and SEAL forces her father hired. Uncle Harry was the head of the group and kept watch over his nieces, Jordan and Sophie. It was a big job as they seemed to attract those that have devious ideas about their wealth and the projects the women were involved in. Sophie was “resting” in Nepal with Bhikshu Bunan and his followers. She met a young boy, Tariq, who was a refugee from Pakistan; she wanted the best for him and the book is the story of intrigue, violence, kidnapping and rescue, with a touch of romance. The events are busy, wild and not the ordinary group of men to the rescue. I loved it! There are sensual scenes and I recommend this book for adults.
Mission: Impossible to Surrender is the second book in the Impossible Mission series by Jacki Delecki. Although there are references to events which happened in the first book, this one is a stand-alone read. The author does a very good job of including necessary information of the plot of the previous story to allow the reader to enjoy the book separately. This novel is about Sophie, who spent time in Nepal following a kidnapping, and Finn, a friend of the family as well as a U.S. Navy SEAL. The story springs from the page like an agitated kangaroo with nonstop action until the very last page. There is wonderful character development and the intense plot will keep the reader engrossed. But it is also an adult romance. There are a few graphic bedroom scenes, with a steam level of 2 1/2 to 3. Well written and not raunchy scenes that add to the romantic features of the novel. Of course, there is the feel good ending of a HEA conclusion.

Hunky Navy Seal, beautiful, caring rich woman, kidnappers, gangs, drugs, betrayal, and romance—what more could you ask for? This is the ultimate for me in a suspenseful romance. I love how Finn does all he can to protect Sophie along with Finn’s brothers. Sophie has such a soft heart, and has trouble because of her soft heart. I loved all Finn’s brothers and how they razzed each other. It was funny how Finn was afraid to say anything about his feelings for Sophie, but he had no problems facing down terrorists! I loved the book, and strongly encourage you to read the book. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader’s Copy of this book.
This is an eagerly anticipated second book in the series, and it doesn’t disappoint. From page one, Sophie is established as a strong, gentle character that has been battling past experiences, and the rest of the first chapter sets up the story and characters, providing a strong background to the fast-paced story that follows. Finn is an alpha male that’s also an old childhood friend of Sophie’s, and he is not going to let her be harmed – and he loves her. The romance is a smaller part of the story, and the action is exciting, gripping, and very topical. There is light relief in the banter between Finn and his brothers, there’s excitement in the storyline (no spoilers here!), and there’s romance – in other words, this is a must read. I found it a one-sitting read; no way was I stopping before the end.
Mission is the first book I’ve read by Jacki Delecki and after Mission: Impossible to Surrender it will not be the last! Sexy Navy Seal, Fin and caring, hard-working, beautiful Sophie are WOW together. Alpha male and sassy women make the sparks fly! I loved it!
Among the usual twists we have kidnappers, gangs, drugs, betrayal, and love, what more could you ask for? I enjoyed how Fin’s brothers harassed him with love, reminded me of my family. Again, I loved the book, and strongly encourage you to pick up your own copy of this book
I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader’s Copy of this book.
Mission: Impossible to Surrender by Jacki Delecki is the second book in her new Impossible Mission series and was every bit as good as the first one. Once I started reading the book, I couldn’t put it down.
Once chapter one sets up Sophie and her new mission in life, the story took off and never slowed down until the end. The plot was quickly paced with action, suspense, hot and sexy times between Sophie and Finn and even some laughter from the banter between the Jenkins brothers. Ms. Delecki writes likable characters caught up in scary and suspenseful situations that can also lead her characters to finding love. I certainly hope that Ms. Delecki has plans for more of the Jenkins brothers to meet their match.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. All of the above opinions are my own.
So, I didn’t read book one in the “Impossible Mission” series. I feel that it might have help with jumping into Finn and Sophie’s story.
From the beginning I felt the story was just “okay.” I didn’t really feel any connection, emotions between the characters which lead to no real connection for me to the story. Even though it is clinical well written.
Here is where I would really have liked to give it a negative in the stars rating.
I’m am really tired of not being able to enjoy entertainment for entertainments sake. No, every Tom, Dick, and let’s say…Jacki, has to use it as a political platform.
I’m going to say here and now that I STAND for President, Donald Trump! I STAND for the NATIONAL ANTHEM! I STAND for our MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN! HEROES EVERY GOD BLESSED ONE OF THEM! And I STAND for ONE NATION UNDER GOD! Without these things we would have NO Freedoms, NO Amazing Heroes to write stories about.
I only gave this book a 3 star rating because it was clinical well written.
Loved Finn and Sophie’s story and how protective they were of Tarik. There’s plenty of action, humor at times and steam. With the cartel involved, Finn thought it was him they were after and he’s still recovering from a knife wound. But things are about to get interesting. Loved it.
This fast-paced suspenseful novel grabs the reader’s attention from the opening paragraph. Although the story is both exciting and romantic, I did find that it did a hop, skip and a jump from time to time, leaving me trying to figure out what had happened in the interim. Whilst Sophie Dean had redeemed herself after her wild college days, her reputation nevertheless precedes her. She has to work twice as hard to earn the respect of the public and her father and thinks she also has to win Finn’s approval, not realising that she has always had it. Rescuing a young boy from his homeland, Sophie and Finn have their work cut out for them keeping ahead of those who like to destroy them. Despite being a strong-minded military man, Finn has a gentle heart and to the amusement of his friends, his feelings for Sophie are not as hidden as he had hoped. Sophie has been a spoilt princess in the past, but she has become quite capable of bringing her part to the rescue operation. Although the book is part of a series, it is nevertheless a standalone and comes to a very satisfactory conclusion. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.
5 Stars for Mission : Impossible to Surrender
Author – Jacki Delecki
ARC received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own & not influenced in any way ….
Covers are a really big draw for me as well as a spot on brief description of the book – this cover is a hands down visual of Finn.
LOVE THIS COVER !!!! The cover alone would make me want to read this book !!
This is book 2 in the Mission Impossible series – although it can be read as a standalone it would be helpful to have read book 1 !!
Sophie has had a crush on Finn for like forever – a former rebellious stint after her mother’s death and always feeling isolated from her billionaire father – she is really looking for love and acceptance …. There always seems to be something getting in the way of these (2) getting together – and when they finally do – that’s it – true love but lots of opstacles before they make it to their HEA.
This book is not just a strait romance – there is great action – suspense – an “angsty” plot – also really great secondary characters.
I discovered this author thru Netgalley & Jacki Delecki is someone I am following on my TBR author list !! Thank you Netgalley for helping me discover this great author & series.
Highly recommend this series & author !!! 5 combustible & action packed stars !!!
Get ready for a lot of action and intrigue and romance. I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion. Although this is the first book of Ms. Delecki’s that I have read, I can honestly say that it won’t be the last as not only do I want to go back and read the first in the series, but also the ones that come next. The book had me hooked from first page to last. The intrigue had me on the edge of my seat and the romance had me fanning myself a few times. If you like strong, hot military guys and the strong women who can stand up to them, then you will like this book
Can Finn protect Sophie’s live while deeply in love with her since forever? Finn has been working along with all his brothers and uncle Harry as bodyguards to the Dean family, so Sophie, the younger daughter, is off limits. But after her kidnapping he is set to claim her but will they survive the danger that threatens them and have a chance of be together?
3.5 stars
In Delecki’s second book of the Mission: Impossible series, she brings us one of my favorite tropes, a best friends to lovers story.
Finn, a former SEAL turned security expert, is in deep trying to get his best friend, Sophie, out of harm’s way. He’s also head over heals in love with her but she’s blind to his feelings. Danger has a way of changing the game though and emotions boil over and are revealed in the heat of the moment.
Sophie’s intent to help a young boy caught in a war zone places then all in grave danger, caught up in a plan they don’t understand. Finn must keep them safe while Sophie comes to terms with his new feelings for her and realizes she’s loved him forever too.
I liked Finn and his brothers and the banter between them; they offered welcome levity and Sophie was a fiesty heroine who fit Finn well. As with the first book in the series; however, I feel they’re just barely in the romance category. The stories are well written but heavy and focus mainly on the suspense and drama, with barely any scenes focusing on the romance or the couple themselves. If you like suspense with just a dash of romance, you’ll enjoy Mission: Impossible to Surrender.

Man do I love a good suspense story. This one had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. What will happen next? That is what really makes a suspense story move over into the realm of “that was fantastic”. Loving the Jenkins brothers. Super alpha (but not in a bad way) and super sexy. If you are looking for a fast read that has sexual tension, then run and download this book.
I can see where this story is leading to and looking forward to the next Mission Impossible book.
