Theo’s Retaliation
Fated Lives Series, Books 5-7
By: Kelly Moore
Narrated by: Brad Gilliam
There is nothing better than starting a book and getting sucked into the story from the first chapter. This anthology of short interconnected stories had me on the edge every minute! The first of the four books focuses on the relationship between Theo and Derrick Rebel. These two have been through a lot together, and their friendship is unbreakable. Next we have Fiona’s story. We met her in the first book of this series, Rebel’s Retribution, and we learn of her tragic life as a victim of human trafficking. The third and fourth novellas focus on finding Fiona and taking the ring down. It’s action packed, heartbreaking and thrilling. Kelly Moore writes her stories with such passion and realism, it’s impossible not to get involved in the books. I love the interconnecting stories, the characters I love and the ones I love to hate and how it all comes down at the end with some closure and some surprises! And she left me with just enough of a taste that I can’t wait for Thorn’s story!
Brad Gilliam continues his narration of this series. He does an incredible job with the characters, focusing on their personalities and finding the best voices for them. I was totally wrapped up in the book, which only goes to prove what a great performance he is giving.

In this story a daring rescue and shutting down human traffickers is the game. Nina who is behind bars is still pulling strings. More surprises come out and Nina is bent on revenge of all the team’s loved ones. There is a cliffhanger and I am anxious for the next story. I received a complimentary audio and this review is voluntary.
Theo’s Retaliation: Fated Lives Series Books Five through Seven was another great read by Kelly Moore. It consisted of; Lawson Reed, Fiona Petit, and Theo’s Retaliation. Lawson is a Gunners’ SEAL team trainer and the best friend of Rebel. Fiona is the woman who Theo will do anything to save. Theo will do anything in order to find and save Fiona. Rebel and the Gunners’ go to battle against the geNetics organization. I can’t wait to read more by Kelly Moore. Brad Gilliam did a great job of narrating the characters so that you are invested in what happens to them.
Audiobook Review
We start this chapter with Lawson and how he and Derrick Rebel were friends from a young age and where that friendship went. We get to watch Lawson struggle as a young boy and into adulthood. We then pick up in the present and we have Theo still searching for Fiona and the team is back at it trying to put a stop to the trafficking of women. They suspect that Nina is still behind the crime ring even though she is behind bars. There is lots of danger for the team and past hurts that have a chance to heal.
Brad Gilliam put his all into this audiobook. He gives the emotion that the story is telling and I could feel it from his voice and reactions throughout the book.
I love this series and can’t wait to listen to the next one to see where the team goes from here. Great story and I highly recommend it.
I was very excited to listen to this after finishing Rebels Retribution. I love these characters and it great seeing them get this group up and running. That being said I was surprised that this ends with a cliffhanger. I feel unfulfilled and Sad.
I loved getting to know more about Lawson (who seems good humored) and Fiona. Theo was still on a rampage trying to find Fiona. I worried about him and his darkness to go back and do the same job. Meanwhile we get new characters added to the group just before a major operation. They each bring something different to the table. Then we still have Fallon and Rebel to catch up with. See how they are working and dating together.
Overall this is a good solid action filled story. There are a few twists I didn’t see coming. I am disappointed about the cliffhanger but will wait for the next in the series to arrive. I did listen to this on audio and Brad Gilliam did another spot on job!
Theo Drake thought he knew what love felt like but then he met Fiona. He was forced to do horrible things to take down an organization which ruined a lot of lives. Just when Theo thought he could have it all, his happily ever after was ripped away from him. Now he spends his days trying to fulfil the promise he made to Fiona. He told her he’d give her the freedom she never had and he won’t stop until he makes good on his word. The resources he and Rebel have are so much better then what they started out with. Will he be able to find Fiona before it’s to late?
Fiona was adopted when she was a baby by a great couple who loved her dearly. When they passed away she was forced into foster care until she became eightteen. Living out on the streets, she goes to a shelter to stay the night. She owns nothing more then the clothes on her back and with no family left nobody will miss her. She wakes up into her worst nightmare when she’s sold to the highest bidder to do with her as they please. Can she find a way to escape?
Theo hasn’t been the same after he lost Fiona. He spends his days in Lawson’s gym pouncing on the punching bag. Lawson is The Gunners’ SEAL team trainer and is Rebel’s best friend. Theo is waiting for the day that any information about Fiona’s whereabouts comes up and Rebel has hired amazing new additions to his Gunner’s team. I’ve closed Theo in my heart ever since I met him on Rebel’s Retribution. He’s dedicated, loyal and a true friend. I loved how kind and caring he is for Fiona and how he gives her the time to get to trust him.
Fiona has been in hell ever since they kidnapped her. She’s fierce and they haven’t been able to tame her. My heart felt for Fiona when I was reading about everything that she has to deal with. I loved her spirit and how she still fights for every chance at escaping that she has even though the punishments are severe if she fails. After everything that they did to her she’s put up a wall and hardened her soul. I was rooting for her to be free again and to finally find her way back to herself.
Theo’s Retaliation is full of action and kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning till the end. Kelly Moore always writes with so much passion that it shines through in every character she writes about. The Fated Lives Series is raw and pure and made my heart cry so many times. The Fated Lives Series adresses serious and heartbreaking topics and is not a series for the faint hearted. That said, Kelly Moore showed her mad skills again with creating another amazing series that will make your blood race until the very last page. Theo’s Retaliation contains book 5 to 7 in the Fated Lives Series and you have to read Rebel’s Retribution first to fully understand the story.
I found this to be a superb storyline that grabs you right from the start keeping you engrossed and on edge throughout the whole book!
Great characters that will keep your interest extremely well.
The chemistry, sweetness, and twists in plot kept things interesting.
Add in drama and steamy passion and you have a good read.

ONE BLAZING ADVENTURE!!!
Diving off the highboard! Kelly has continuously upped the octane levels with this unbelievable sequell. Kelly rocks this jewel to her on beat bouncing its intense storyline and gripping plot together without a crease. One page flipping wonder that keeps you in a tail spin on a razors edge. The chemistry is high, circumstances unnerving, grasping and hooking this piece of perfection together delightfully. A swirling eddy of stunning occurrences and unforseen incidences launch those swirling emotions flaring into play. The characters are authentic and so realistic you feel like you can just reach out and touch them. The scenes are so vividly graphic you have no trouble picturing each scenario as they play off one another in perfect balance. Amazing job Kelly, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Lawson and Derrick are long time friends. Derrick is ready to join the military while Lawson doesn;t know what to do until he decides to go to a boxing gym to get fit enough to keep from getting his behind kicked. Years later he is a 23 yr old billionaire thanks to the man who owns the gym. He gave him a new lease on life. Then his ex girlfriend shows up to get closure and explain why she disappeared.

Years later he;s a part of the team but on the sideline. One of the operatives, Theo, is undercover in a human trafficking business when he meets a young woman named Fiona.

On his next undercover mission he does find her. Now the clock is set on taking out the human trafficking business and saving Fiona if she;s alive.

The kind of evil the team battled in book one has set up shop near them in Seattle. Rebel has put together a new team to take this new evil out too. Theo stops at nothing to find Fiona and give her the freedom he promised her. Another action packed book.

Another great addition to the series. The author does a fantastic job building the story , bringing strong well developed characters and describes them perfectly. She brings the story to life with her vividly detailed scenes and keeps you reading to the end with all the action,twists,turns and emotions flowing throughout. I loved this book and am looking forward to the next one. Highly recommend.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
These young men and women fight hard to keep their lives together, serve their country and their neighborhoods, and put it all on the line to try to stop great evil involved in human trafficking.
Difficult pieces in each of their lives connect them to each other and their dedication to eradicating the results of bad actors.
betrayals and evil cut deep and close, and damage family and friends, sometimes irreparably .
Together they can fight on, as long as they keep re-grouping – as long as there are any left to fight.
Intense KU action/adventure.

I’ve read some books that Mrs. Moore co-wrote with others, but this is my first solo read of hers. She hit didn’t disappoint. This books is a page turner, full of suspense, action, twists and turns, and an ending that promises there is more to come. It’s a book that kept me interested from the first to last word. Theo and Fiona are amazing characters and theirs is a story of survival. I love stories that build on each other and this is one of those. Theo’s Retaliation is a continuation of Rebel’s Retribution. I love getting this behind-the-scenes look at the characters and meeting many more along the way. I look forward to reading whatever the author brings to life next.
Oh My Goodness. I’ve loved reading these amazing books. You feel so invested in the characters and story when you read them. Theo is just amazing and the new Gunner members are truly a team. No spoikers but Nina AKA Ekko is pure Evil. I cannot wait for Thorns Redemption to come out xx

Awesome continuation of the fated lives series!
This box set includes Lawson, Fiona and Theo’s intertwined stories and boy is it a good one!
It has all the twists and turns you would expect plus a terrific cliffhanger ending!
Lawson is Rebel’s best friend and someone who has been through a lot in his lifetime. His one big regret is not being able to find a trace of the daughter he has never met.
Fiona has been living in hell for the past few years and when she finally thinks she can gain her freedom she is pulled back into that dark, dangerous and twisted world again.
Theo is on the hunt for the girl he failed to save. Will he be able to find her and bring her back to the safety of a normal life?
I voluntarily read a copy of this book for an honest review.
What a very intense story that will have you hooked from the very beginning of this story. This is a must read,
The drama, the sexy scenes, the heartbreak all combine to make this one hell of a read! Theo is beating himself up regularly because he could not save Fiona. But he makes it his personal mission to find her and save her once and for all.
Rebel has his hands full trying to track down who is running the human trafficking ring now that Nina is behind bars. He needs Theo to bring his A-game.
Lawson gets a visit from someone he thought he’d never see again and she drops a bombshell on him. Now he has a mission of his own, find his daughter that he never knew existed.
Man the intensity of the scenes keep you turning those pages and hoping against hope that they can succeed in bringing down this evil once and for all. You find your self cheering them on at every turn and holding your breath that they all make it out alive.
Oh yeah, and there is a killer cliff-hanger! (Thanks a lot Kelly. hahaha)
Powerful Fated Lives Continuation!
Great combination of suspense, drama, twists, fighting with new and returning characters. A very powerful and emotional story of human trafficking and deceit. I hate cliffhangers and can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
I received an arc copy and am happy to leave my honest review.
