Shattered Duty

Deadly Ops, Book 3

By: Katie Reus

Narrated by: Sophie Eastlake

When his wife was murdered two years ago, Special Agent Levi Lazaro turned his back on everything he cared about. Ever since, he has thought of nothing but vengeance. Now he's finally uncovered the identities of those who killed his wife - and he's ready to destroy them at any cost. He won't let anything stand in his way - not even a beautiful NSA agent on a mission of her own.

Special Agent Selene Wolfe prides herself on being the best. Her fearlessness and quick thinking make her the perfect person to take down a deadly terrorist cell. But she needs Levi's help, and the moment he shows up, Selene knows her objectivity - and her heart - are in trouble.

As the two strike an uneasy alliance, Levi finds himself tormented by his desire for Selene - a feeling he thought long dead. But when their mission takes an unexpected turn, he finds himself at a crossroads. Can he put aside his need for revenge to save the woman who's reawakened his soul?

Critic reviews

"Intrigue, treachery and sensual temptation provoke dramatic confrontations that could have dire consequences." ( RT Book Reviews)

Pleasantly surprised

Great story and not predictable. Just enough suspense, hot and spicy, and sexy smart characters to keep you entertained. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic Book!

I listened to the first 2 and they were great but this one was even better. This book has it all a thriller, a love story & some twist I didnt see coming at the end! A must read for all!

Excellent Story-Excellent Narration!

Wow I love this series. And I think this book is my favorite so far!. Loved Levi Lazaro, awesome character. He is smart, handsome and sexy. Selene is smart, sexy, strong and a total bad azz. Love her!

The story line and plot is great! Loved the back story of both characters. There is kidnapping, killing, special agents, undercover ops and action!

The chemistry between Levi and Selene is great. Real and not forced. Very genuine and believable. I was so glad that Levi's revenge didn't cause a bunch of angst and I can't be with you BS. What a relief. There are a couple of very good sex scenes too. Not a rated G book, but not erotica or BDSM either. Just very well written sex. Thank you!

There is a lot of great dialogue throughout the book. I really like this author's writing style. Always something happening and not a bunch of filler nonsense. The story flows very well and easy to follow.

I totally recommend all the books in this series.

As for the narration. It was fantastic! Love Sophie Eastlake narrating this series. She has a great reading voice. The men sound like men and everyone gets their own distinct voice. She reads with emotion as it is called for too. Just great all the way around.

Good series, especially on sale

I love Sophie Eastlake a.k.a. Julia Whelan, Especially after her 2014 male voice got deeper so this whole series is great. Romance mystery with lots of romance make no mistake. This book picks up from book 1 which set the tone for the rest of the series.
All of the heroines seem to be bright, energetic with a heart of gold and strength.
Where my comments of help?

Best book in the serious so far!!

I love this book and it made me cry a few times! Well written and loved the action.
