Women in SpecOps? Never…until he sleeps with the most lethal woman in the world.
Alex Wolf would never believe that women could handle Special Operations, especially someone like Kat with her soft skin, feminine curves and party-girl attitude. When he discovers her real job, he wants to protect her from the terrorists who would kill her, and make her his forever.
Katlin Callahan spends weeks, … Callahan spends weeks, sometimes months, hunting the most dangerous men on earth as the covert Ladies of Black Swan team leader. Between missions, the only man she wants in her bed makes her heart pound and her body zing. Losing her heart, and focus, could get them both killed.
Unrelenting Love is the first book in KaLyn Cooper’s Black Swan series. Each romantic suspense features one of five, active duty women secretly trained in SpecOps. If you like the action-packed stories of Susan Stoker, Gennita Low and Sharon Hamilton, you’ll love this series.

This is a continuation of Alex and Lady Hawk’s story. Can they get beyond friends, secrets and past histories. There’s a lot of action, heat and danger. Alex was her cheating husband’s best friend who was killed in action, and his wife was her best friend. They’ve always been friends with benefits before they married. Received this book for free for an honest review.
I liked the first book in the series.
The concept is great and I like how there was a resolution, but that it remained open ended enough to allow for future installments of the changing relationship between Kat and Alex.
Additionally, it ended things enough that the story was complete overall, no cliffhanger here.
The interrelationship with the Ladies was awesome and I really liked how overall the stage was set to allow the women to shine and the men to learn to adjust their perceptions and expectations of women and of the roles women can take up. I really did like how they all agree that all women teams and all male teams work better, overall. (ok Yes the men did not really agree with that, but they should and will eventually, I am sure, lol) I am sure in future installments that the Ladies and their (guardians, whomever they end up being in the end) will work together leveraging their strengths to accomplish their goals in the best way possible.

Enjoyed reading this book
I would actually give this book 4.5 stars because of one thing in the story which bothered me, but I’ll get to that. If you like military romance with lots of action and a hot hot hot romance thrown in, then this book is for you. It’s not your typical alpha male getting a strong woman in his bed, but kind of the exact opposite. Sure, the strong ex-military guys are there, but the military unit is made up of 5 kick ass women secretly working for Homeland Security in a spec. ops that no one will acknowledge. After all, women can’t fight in combat, right?
You can pretty much read the synopsis for the plot of the book. It is action-packed and the character development is fantastic. The chemistry of Kaitlin and Alex is amazing. Not sure whether to call this friends to lovers or second chance, because it’s a little of both. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series and getting to know the rest of the ladies of Black Swan.
Now, for the one thing that bothered me. Alex was married before and he and his wife had a little girl, Jenny. Kaitlin is Jenny’s godmother and even with her highly stressful job which takes her all over the world, Kaitlin finds time for Jenny.
Alex however, has not. He uses his job and travel as an excuse for not being involved in his daughter’s life. What a cop out. I didn’t get the feeling that he was really going to try much either. I found that to be a disappointing, yet realistic point of view and selfish.
So, I do recommend the book and the prequel novella Unconventional Beginnings
Unrelenting Love by KaLyn Cooper is an outstanding second chance romance. Ms. Cooper has provided readers with a well-written book. The cast of characters is phenomenal. Katlin is the leader of the Black Swan team, women operatives working under Homeland Security. Alex has left the Marines and now is a partner, running Guardian Security. Alex and Katlin’s story is loaded with drama, humor, sizzlin’ sexy bits, action and suspense. I loved this book from start to finish and look forward to my next KaLyn Cooper book. Unrelenting Love is book 1 of the Black Swan Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I read a print copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Can I just say WOW, WOW, WOW…awesome first book in the Black Swan series. Ladies that can kick a$$ and take names later, deal with evilness, really bad bosses, terrorists and feel the insecurities like any woman does with falling in love . Can Kat and Alex have a life and love together when the secrets come out??? Loved it!!
Katlin was an amazing character as a woman who was strong and fantastic under fire. I loved this story of her and Alex Wolf who ran a security company. Lots of action from the start with a great group of women who play just as hard as they work. Lots of steam between Alex and Katlin as they both take on terrorist. Secondary characters were also likeable and well developed as the other women who work with Katlin. Loved it!!
