An operator at the top of his game.

Former Delta Force Operator Talon McKinley knows the wilderness like the back of his hand—how to hunt, how to survive, how to kill. But when his solo re-qualification challenge turns into a real-world nightmare, he stumbles upon something far more dangerous than wild terrain. A group of ruthless men are playing the most twisted game of all: hunting humans. And their next target? A fierce, determined woman who refuses to be broken.

She was never supposed to make it out alive.

Petra Keller thought she was taking a temporary job. She never expected to be drugged, abducted, and thrown into the middle of a kill zone. Alone, unarmed, and relentlessly pursued, she refuses to go down without a fight. When a battle-hardened warrior crashes into her nightmare, Petra isn’t sure if she can trust him—but he might be the only thing standing between her and certain death.

One mission. No surrender. Nowhere to hide.

Survival forces them together, but something far more dangerous ignites between them. Every brush of skin and every whispered breath in the dark pulls them closer—a need as fierce as the war raging around them. Talon has always been a man in control, but Petra pushes every limit. And walking away from her? That might be the one battle he can’t win.

The hunt is over, but the fire between them is just beginning.

Explosive action, heart-pounding suspense, and scorching chemistry collide in this high-stakes, high-heat protector romance. Strap in—this one’s a bullet train of adrenaline and passion.

Survival brought them together. But what happens when the hunt is over?

I enjoyed reading Talon, book 4 in the Four X's Group series. This is a series of interconnected standalones that can technically be read in any order but this is one I'd recommend reading in order.I enjoyed getting to see Talons story, and I thought the teasing between him and his brothers was super funny. I liked the bond between Talon and Petra, I thought they work well together.

I am looking forward to reading the next books in the series.

Great story

I really enjoyed this one. I feel like there could’ve been more background on Petra since the story began with her being chased but no backstory. The chase scene was a bit far fetched only because Talon was cold to the bone even dressed for the extreme cold with boots and all but Petra was barefoot and her leg was bleeding so I assumed it was exposed as well so I’m not sure how she survived without freezing to death before rescue. However, if I put those notions aside I became thoroughly absorbed into the book! I especially love the family aspect of the series and how close all the siblings and in laws are with each other. Narration was great! Overall a very good romance with a lot of tactical lingo and field operation scenes which always amps up a good military romance.

Exciting and suspenseful!

Book 4 of The Four X's Group: La Spezia story of Former Delta Force Operator Talon McKinley and Petra Keller. Now that’s an action adventure that audible did justice to. The danger and drama kept me guessing what was happening why were they after Petra. The why is sad and pathetic if you ask me but the justice Talon gets is page turning good.

I probably liked this book the least. Petra I just couldn’t get into. And her backstory is non existent almost. I wish it would have went into her a little more. This book just didn’t seem to flow and mesh well like all the others did. But all and all still a good book!

Good but

Talon Book 4 of The Four X's Group: La Spezia by Bella Stone and is Talon and Petra's story. This is a bit farfetched in places, still an enjoyable story but not as good as previous books. Narrators Melissa Maybeck and Oliver Highpoint do a fantastic job in voicing the characters. Looking forward to the next book.
