BLURB:
Ex- Mossad agent Malik Dahan has lived for years in the shadows, straddling the very fine line between his own moral code and the missions his assassin role required. Two years ago, refusing an order from Mossad’s Operations Base near Glilot Junction on the west end of Tel Aviv put him on a collision course with Team Panther. The time has come for Malik to face his demons and the secret he has been hiding. A secret that can rip apart the very essence of everything that is Delta Force – Team Panther.
Zeke Givens seized the chance to escape the mob violence he grew up with to become a Texas ranch hand. Months later the last man he expected to see on the ranch is the hottest one night stand he could ever remember. A man who stole his breath and drew every protective instinct he had to the fore. Zeke will use every dirty trick and all the skills he learned at his father’s knee to protect Malik, even if it means losing the only family he has left.
Can a one-night stand turn into a Happy Ever After? Malik just needs to stop running long enough to realize that Zeke is his redemption and their happy ever after is right there waiting for them.
Malik’s Redemption is part of the Delta Force – Team Panther Series. While it can be read as a standalone… to ensure maximum enjoyment, it is best read in series order.
REVIEW:
Damn, this book caught me by the throat and didn’t let go until the final word was read. I have to say that this book was by far my favorite book in the series. These two men really just had my heart and totally ran with it.
Malik…yeah…ex-Mossad officer who is off the grid and in with our Team Panther. I liked him so much in the other books…this mysterious guy who is dangerous and yet…there is something about him that draws you in. That there is something that makes him intriguing and that really kept drawing me in and when you find out who he is and his story…I swear that you fall for him even more. My heart just kept wanting to pull him in so that he’d never be hurt again and yet, that is actually reserved for someone else…Zeke.
Zeke…Steele’s brother. Yeah, Zeke is a badass in his own way and Holy Hannah…I have to say that when you get Zeke’s story…I just about died…like you knew that he was something…but DAMN…his story is WOW!! Zeke had his own issues that he needed to work out, but damn if this man didn’t have his man’s back. Zeke is his own force to be reckoned with and he’s Damn Good!!!
This story really drew you in…there were so many revelations that happened in this story and so much happening that I have to say that Annabella upped her game and she hit it out of the park!!! This story had so much going on…romance, action, adventure and mystery…I really didn’t want the book to end and yet, I had to know what was going to happen. I Zeke and Malik would get together and that Team Panther would be there…but as the on-going mystery as to Team Panther being under attack and seeing some of the shadows come out of hiding…well…there is still way more going on than what we know. More pieces being moved on the board and some people who aren’t who we thought they were.
Again, Annabella really knocked it out of the park with the sexy times in this story, but I loved how that wasn’t the main focus. The relationship between Malik and Zeke, that is what drew me in. Yes, these guys do express more of themselves in the bedroom…but it was so much more than that.
The relationships that these men have with one another is just so heartwarming and nice to see. I can’t wait until the next book in the series…the next couple and more information as to the people out to hurt Team Panther.
