A few months ago, Zoey jumped at a new job offer with an outsized salary. Now she’s jumping from one abandoned house to another, subsisting on stale granola bars, hiding a thumb drive with enough information to bring down a crime boss—or get her killed. When a stranger comes through the door of her latest hideout, she shoots first and runs without bothering to ask questions later. She can’t … can’t trust anyone, no matter how badly she wants to beg six sexy feet of muscle and piercing blue eyes for help.
Cole knew his latest flip would come with unpleasant surprises. Being shot at wasn’t one of them. His ex-SEAL instincts save his skin, and tell him this wildcat is no typical squatter. She needs help, and his gut unexpectedly twists to bring down whoever put the pure fear in her steel-gray eyes.
Even if it means straining frayed family ties to the limit…and laying everything on the line to save her life. Right down to his heart.

This one will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I thought this was an interesting plot and was well written by the author. There is lots of action and the story moves along at a nice steady pace. I haven’t read book one in the series and I was easily able to follow this story.

This is the first I’ve read from the Special Forces: Operation Alpha series. I am not a stranger to Linzi Baxter, however and had high expectations for this book. I am happy to say this book surpassed my expectations. There is non stop action from the very beginning and a heart wrenching situation. Zoe is the CFO working for a man she thought was nice. Wrong! She finds out how wrong when she witnesses a murder. Turns out she’s working for a crime boss, Clyde Walker, that has been on the governments radar for years. Cole is an ex-Navy SEAL turned house flipper. When he finds her hiding in his newest property, she thinks he’s there to take her so she shoots at him. Thank goodness she is not a good shot. This book deals with homelessness, veterans on the streets, kidnapping, military camaraderie and getting justice. To say this book is good is just not enough. It’s freaking great!! I highly recommend this book and I will be rereading this one myself. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Wow! If you looking for something to get lost in,this is the book.
From the beginning this storyline will grab your attention. Zoey saw and found out things she shouldn’t and know she is on run. Cole was a Navy Seal ,now is is doing real estate. Flipping houses with his friend. This is how they met,she was squatting in his house. Dirty and hungry doesn’t resemble professional accountant, but is something that draw him to her.
There is lots of drama ,action and steam coming from the pages.
The book is standalone but people from Operation Alpha keep company,too. You want miss anything but reading first one is not going to hurt.

This is a great addition to the A Flipping Love Story We have met Cole before he is the partner of Ian Parker who we met in the first book in this series Now we get his story

Zoey became homeless a few months ago. She broke off a small piece of a stale granola bar when her stomach growled. She was staying in a foreclosed house for a few nights. Unfortunately, there was no water for a shower. No electricity either. As former CFO of Walker Consulting, she gathered enough information on a thumb drive she carried in her pocket to bring down the crime boss, Nixson Walker, whose men were relentlessly after her. She knew they would torture her to get the information she had. He wanted her dead. For 3 months, she had evaded them. But as she sat on the floor, the front door squeaked. A tall, muscular man entered and she shot him – or shot “at” him since she missed. His name was Cole and he owned the empty house. He told her they would get something to eat while she told him more about the man who was after her. If she trusted him by then, he would help her. But she trusted no one by now and ran away.
Cole is an ex-SEAL and he saw the terror someone had put in this lady’s eyes. She was squatting in his flip house and, knowing she needs help, he follows her when she runs from him. Can he help save her?
Be ready for a wild, action-packed adventure! This book is so good, with excellent characters, a tense story line, and incredible descriptions that pull the reader into the action and make it real! This is an incredibly good reading experience and I highly recommend it for your enjoyment!
This was a awesome book that grabbed me from the beginning and kept my interest from beginning to end, I couldn’t stop reading! I loved Cole and Zoey together they were well written and went well together. It’s full of danger, drama, suspense, intrigue, secrets, operatives, special forces, hot alpha male and a steamy romance you don’t want to miss and I can’t wait to read more.

Omgosh!! Grabs your coattails from the beginning so hold on for your life! It’s a stand-alone but a few people from previous books pop in to help. She saw and found out things that put her life in jeopardy and has her running for her life. You get to see her concern for others while she has a target on her back. He was a Navy Seal who is now working with his best friend flipping houses. He gets involved when he finds her squatting in his flip house and follows her when she runs. He is also committed to helping others and it plays out with them both. There is lots of drama and is action packed. I was holding my breath while reading certain scenes. Beware! It could be a one sitting read for you, too!

I loved every moment of this book! That didn’t surprise me as I’ve adored each and every book that I’ve ever read by this author. Zoey has been on the run and living on the streets for months. After having witnessed a horrific event she KNOWS important people are after her. All she has to do is survive. Each passing day gets harder and harder. She’s running on fumes and barely anything to eat. Thanks to a fellow homeless person she learned off a vacant home to squat in for now. The last thing she expected was the yummy ex SEAL to show up out of the blue. Is he her savior, or could he be working for those after her? This series is so exciting! Filled with secrets, political intrigue, government operatives, ex special forces friends and one fierce woman determined to survive at all costs! I honestly can’t wait for book three in the series!!
