About this listen

The final "powerfully intense" (Romantic Times) Black Ops, Inc. novel from New York Times best seller Cindy Gerard, featuring a covert private security team and electrifying romantic suspense.

Black Ops, Inc. operative Joe Green is determined to bring to justice the man responsible for former team member Bryan Tompkins' death. He's convinced the ambush that killed Bryan was no coincidence but a setup. Unsure of the consequences of the battle he's about to start, Joe distances himself from both his Black Ops, Inc. team members and the woman he loves, Bryan's sister, Stephanie Tompkins. But Stephanie knows there must be some reason Joe broke it off, and when she hears Joe's charged with a murder in Sierra Leone, she wastes no time in breaking him out of prison. Then they must unravel the mystery behind the ambush and bring resolution to a long-ago betrayal.

Critic Reviews

"Narrator Morais Almeida's deft pacing brings out the drama in this romantic suspense. Joe Green - a privately trained paramilitary operative - is captured in a third-world country. Stephanie Tompkins risks her own life to rescue Joe, who grieved for her brother when he was killed on a previous mission. In the opening scene, danger and high stakes are conveyed by Almeida's breathy, staccato delivery as Joe faces a grim outcome to his personal mission to uncover the truth behind the death of Stephanie's brother. Almeida portrays the military side of Green with a gruffness that contrasts well with the gentle, slower-paced tone the character falls into when he's with Stephanie. Similarly, Stephanie is richly portrayed with a softness that is especially loving and sweet with Joe. But Almeida also depicts Stephanie's fierceness when she finds herself in Sierra Leone, coordinating Joe's rescue. Almeida's range of modulations brings out the characters' myriad emotions, including bittersweet moments between Joe, Stephanie, and the boy soldiers who assist in Joe's rescue. Almeida's crisp enunciation also sharpens the gritty urban scenes, adding to the effectiveness of this listening experience." ( AudioFile Magazine)

Great story and awesome twists and turns. The heroine stepped up when I thought she was going to be a washout...especially for Joe.
It was a heart breaking scene to know that Joe was almost rogue.
His grief, anger and redemption churning his soul.
It was shocking to see the boys not available to help but cindy wrote in their absence nicely.
Was hoping nate would have found out why they were away and unavailable but looks like that went by. loved the reunion with their little helper.
Still think gabe was the best followed by johnny....doc was next.
HEA all round...nice wrap up to the series.
Morais did well for a female narrator, we're so used to hearing the boys talk but this was Stephanie's story and I think she does ok.
D a re I think prime time and ty are going to be another BOI

Loved the story… didn’t think the narrator did the voices justice, no good with accents did have them sound like the previous stories. Was hard to tell make to female voices.
Love this series can’t wait for the next.
