Stealing Vengeance

I did feel a wee bit lost at the start of this book. I hadn’t read any of the books featuring the other Valkyrie’s (Trinity, Briar, etc) so I was a bit on the backfoot. However, I was caught up in no time and it certainly didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the book.

Megan and her fellow Valkyries were shot down in flames by the government. After they were left out to fend for themselves, she went into hiding with a former ally in England. But now there are others hunting for her. They say they are fellow Valyrie’s but can she trust them?

Ty was an instructor in the SERE course that Megan undertook as a Valkyrie trainee. But when he later finds out the part he paid in her capture and torture he has an innate need to try and rectify his inadvertent betrayal.

Megan as a thief has no equal! She gets in and out of places with ease. But with Ty dogging her every step she may not be able to slip the lash as easily as she once did. But even more weirdly she finds herself wanting him around. Valkyrie’s don’t do relationships but as she gets to know Trinity and the others will that idea change?

Great paced, tense thriller. If the leads were reinvented as the other sex, they’d still be great characters. It’s less about a great female covert agent, than a covert agent who just happens to be a female! Ty is a great wingman – he may have come at this mission as an act o attrition but he finds himself staying more for the warrior and the woman than for the forgiveness.

I loved finding out more of Megan’s pre-Valkyrie life and the total lack of regard that the government had on small children. I did feel the blood pressure rise at certain parts! Great action story with the added bonus of some sexy bedroom scenes.

Another great read by Ms. Cross. I have read her previous books and she has mentioned the Valkyries before. In this book we meet Megan a Valkyrie who has been betrayed. and is trying to find out who is leaking information about her organization. She meets up with Tyler , with whom, she felt deceived her. Tyler was not aware that he had hurt and jumps at the chance to work with her again. This was a great story and as usual Ms. Cross does not disappoint! Loved it! 4 solid stars*****

This is an amazing book, it is a little different than you are maybe used to from Kaylea but is is certainly not any less. It is full of suspense , it is a real page turner, the women in this series are seriously BAD ASS and I enjoyed it immensely. The romance is there, and the twists are great so no excuse not to read this . Go grab yourselves a copy. It is worth it.

Stealing Vengeance is the first book in this series. I enjoyed it a lot.

Megan was taken over by the government and trained as a special operative. when her fellow operatives are targeted she must work with a man she doesn’t trust to find out what is going on. very fast paced, a lot of action with some romance looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Megan is a Valkyrie, a super secret operative that not many knows about. Her specialty is getting in and out of places undetected. She has no family and works alone. Until other Valkyries start disappearing and found dead. There’s a leak and someone is selling the location of the women. Tyler was her instructor at SERE training and because of him, she was caught, tortured and beating. He wants to make up for his past transgressions and is partnering up with Megan. They must go undercover as a couple to find the traitor. Will Megan be able to keep her heart locked away and not fall for this man?
Great story with action, suspense and secrets. A loner who has to learn to work with others. A man trying to make up for past mistakes. This is the first book in this series. There is a cliffhanger. And some steamy scenes.

Valkyrie is a secret government agency. For years everyone thought it had been shut down until one day, it’s operatives started turning up dead, shining a light on the fact that it was still in service. Now, the all female special ops team is re-forming to save the remaining women. Megan is recruited out of hiding to help, even though her partner is someone from her past who betrayed her. Always loyal to the sisterhood, Megan can’t turn the job down no matter how much she hates Tyler.

Initially, it felt as though the book was off to a slow start. There are several characters and plot lines that had to be setup so it could all work out, which I understand is important to any suspense book. I liked that Tyler wasn’t an ultra alpha, more support for Megan than anything else, and knew his place, that she didn’t need him to protect her. I also liked that the entire team, with exception of Tyler and Alex was all female. It was a relatively quick-ish read, well thought out, with no glaringly obvious plot holes (which I find happens frequently in romantic suspense books). Overall, a pretty good book.

Always enjoy her writings.

This book is the first book in this series of intense drama and intriguing action packed story of deception, kidnapping, traitor and betrayal.
The Valkyries a secret program that was created in training girls to be great female assassins. It main objective was talking orphan girls and turning them into black ops
assassins who killed or infiltrates the most prominent people/organizations in the world. There was two phases that was created but after an incident the second phase of the assassins vital information and location had been leaked.
Megan Smith is a part of the Valkyries program. The creator took everything she ever known or remember from her at a young age. She was deployed to uncovering
the traitor responsible for disclosing intel on her sisterhood prior mission to the enemy after several of them was killed. Her shocking moment was discovering her partner for the mission was someone who betrayed her during her training. Megan was trained to be independent, resilient, evasive but most importantly unemotionally attached therefore, Ty was more a threat than the traitor.
Tyler Bergstrom was in Special Force and worked a few weeks in the SERE school where he encounters Megan Smith. The great Houdini who did the most impossible ever performed in the SERE program. The young lady left a great impression on him but he learned later of the tragically ordeal she endured and his unknown involvement in her penalty for such actions. Several years later he was asked to assist Megan in finding the traitor but their reunion was met with resistance that later lead to reconnections.
The story is interesting but it has several lingering questions: Who is trying to hide the existence of the Valkyrie program? What happened to Amber? Where is Hannah?
This story has so many mysterious and treasonous issues that will ultimately leave you gasping for air. I definitely recommend reading the story.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Review Copy via Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Stealing Vengeance, Book 1 in the newest series by Kaylea Cross is full of action packed scenes with twist and turns that had me guessing on who to believe. What really drew me to this book, besides being written by this author, was the premise of taking orphaned girls and turning them into these fierce warrior women who got the job done. The main characters in this book, Meg and Tyler has history, where one side feels betrayed and the other remorse. They are now working together on a common goal to figure out who is betraying and killing off those who were part of the now supposedly defunct program, the Valkyrie project. With them now being in such close proximity, it gives them a chance to really get to know each other and maybe find some peace.

I did enjoy this book, Meg and Tyler were such great characters, with strength and also softness to them. The chemistry was definitely there. The only issue I had was that I have not had a chance to read the previous books that this is a spin off from so I felt like I was missing something. But besides that, the story kept me interested and I am really looking forward to the stories of all the other Valkyrie women out there.

Megan was transformed by the government into a trained operative in the secret group called Valkyrie. But now someone is eliminating Valkyrie agents and it is up to Megan along with her former instructor Tyler Bergstrom and fellow agent Trinity Durant to figure out who is after them.

As Tyler and Megan begin to get closer to each other they must stay one step ahead of the killer but surprises keep coming. When they track down the killer they discover they have more questions to ask about the past and why they were created.

Can they get the answers in time?

This is a super interesting book and I am definitely looking forward to more in this series.

I liked Megan and how she loved the simple life while staying with her mentor Marcus at his place. I felt bad when she was thrust into trying to find a killer as it was obvious there was some chemistry between herself and Tyler.

There were so many surprises and twists and turns in this book and it was definitely full of action and very intriguing!

Without giving anything away I was so happy with what was going on with Tyler and Megan although I completely understood why Tyler was very uncertain about Megan putting her trust into a certain character.

I love that Marcus opened up Laidlaw Hall for Megan, Trinity and Tyler to use with whomever else they have for the series to take off!
