GRINCH REAPER
The only thing Dominic “Reaper” Santarelli hates more than Christmas is having to leave the teams to take over his family’s chain of pizza joints after his father suffers a stroke. So when the Sleeper SEALs team he joined upon discharge tasks him with a local mission, he’s happy to toss the dough aside to track down and interrogate the leader of the cell to gather intel on threats to Atlantic City over the holiday season. But the simple snatch ‘n grab assignment turns complicated when his path crosses with his kid sister’s beautiful best friend—a former Marine hell bent on wiping out his mark.
Blackjack dealer by day, Isabella “Banshee” Monroe hunts terrorists for a living as part of a secret government task force. For over a decade and a half, she’s waited for the terrorist responsible for her father’s death to come into her crosshairs and isn’t about to let anyone come between her and her sanctioned mission—not even her best friend’s gorgeous older brother—the guy she’s crushed on since childhood.
Finding the leader is easy. Keeping the target safe from Bella is nearly impossible. Almost as impossible as fighting the attraction sizzling between them. But when they discover the threat is bigger than expected, can they stop fighting each other long enough to work together to neutralize the whole cell before the countdown ushers in more than the impending New Year?
Each book in this multi-author branded series is a standalone novel, and the series does not have to be read in order.
Reviews
Another good story in this series
4By yvonnetcruzMs Michaels gives us book 8 of the very engaging series titled Sleeper SEALs. This story gives us Matteo“Reaper” Santarelli and Bella Monroe. Matteo left the SEALs, not because of an injury, but because his father had a stroke and he’s back in Atlantic City to help the pizza parlors his Dad owns. But, he has also been recruited by Commander Lambert to be one of his Sleeper SEALS. Bella was a neighbor of Matteo when she was young , and has been in love with him forever. But even though Matteo felt the same way, his Dad warned him not to touch her. Now she is an operative of a special ops with a personal vendetta. The chemistry between the two was obvious now that they have reconnected and are assigned to find a known terrorist. One was assigned to kill him the other to keep him alive. Seeing Matteo and Bella work their differences and the way they worked to contain the terrorist attack , made for an entertaining story. I do have a couple of personal thoughts on the story. I have read 6 of the 8 books in the series and know how , why and when the Sleeper SEALs was formed. This story doesn’t address it and a new reader might miss out on understanding better the series. Also, some of us have not read stories about the Knight Agency . Maybe a clarification at the beginning of the book might have helped. All that said, it was a good addition to the Sleeper SEALs. I was gifted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
