I thought this was good. 
This was definitely handling some darker themes than I'm used to in Eden Finley's works but we still got that happy ending. 
I enjoyed the focus on autonomy and that
Callie and Zues separate before getting back together.
 

Even though I did enjoy it's not a favorite and it mostly got me excited about potentially getting a book about Hazard and Decaf. 

MIKE BRAVO OPS: ZEUS is the fourth book in the Mike Bravo Ops series. There is enough information given within the story that it can be read as a standalone but I don't recommend it. You have to read this series from the beginning to get the full impact of these character interactions. And it's an amazing series so you'd be missing out on really good books.

Callie has been living his life on the run since he helped his abusive boyfriend burned down the strip club. It was never Callie's intent to hurt anyone but Stephen had Callie so dependent on him that he didn't know what was right or wrong anymore. Now he's on the run from the men his ex owed money to and from his friend Lemon's husband Atlas and his friends. Either way Callie is not liking his odds. When he sees a familiar face come by the restaurant he's working at he knows he's in trouble. /

Atlas asks Zeus to find Callie and make sure he's okay. Lemon is hopeful that is friend is fine. When Zeus does track him down he is surprised when Callie hits him with his car. He doesn't want to hurt Callie but Callie is making things worse when he turns to the very man that wants to use him. Zeus is known as the playboy. He doesn't do feelings or repeats so when he finds himself wanting more from Callie he doesn't know what to do with those feelings.

I hated Callie in Atlas but after getting his full story I fell in love with him and Zeus. Zeus was everything Callie wanted and Callie was everything Zeus needed. Zeus was able to open up and finally let someone in. Callie had a number done on him by his ex and his mental health paid the price. He was in a constant fight or flight mode. Zeus was able to make him feeling protected and safe. I enjoyed watching their relationship go from physical to so much deeper.

I can't wait for what's next!!

I was given a free copy of this book.

This felt like a first-draft, to say nothing of the author's depiction of a former abuse victim.
