Covert Vengeance by Kennedy L. Mitchell
5.0
In Covert Vengeance, Navy SEAL Tony and CIA agent Elliot’s past and present collide in a fireball of passion and action.
Trigger Warning: Violence, Torture
Synopsis:
CIA Officer Elliot Smith is eagerly waiting for their operation in Colombia to get over; it’s been eighteen long months of it. But everything goes sideways as their identities are revealed to the arms dealer whose reign of terror they wanted to end. With her partner killed in action, and her captured, it’s Anthony Hackenbreg’s SEAL team that comes to her rescue, but that only leads to half of his men being killed. Will these two survive to find out the mole that led to the death of so many?
Review:
After reading so much about Tony in the last book, I was a bit apprehensive about reading his story. But it’s [a:Kennedy L. Mitchell|15505700|Kennedy L. Mitchell|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1542508144p2/15505700.jpg] writing it, so I had to read it. Covert Vengeance starts with a prologue from Elliot’s point of view and it’s one action-packed prologue. And after reading about her and Kurt’s (her CIA partner) equation, I was totally invested in this story.
A bonus was having Gabe and Luce as a part of this, the protagonists from Covert Affair, and seeing their equation and camaraderie further evolve.
Maybe I’m crazy but I loved how the CIA women in this series all love their knives. Sigh! Self-defence over everything. Moreover, the way the title connects to the story is brilliant. And it’s bloody vengeance all the way.
What I didn’t expect at all was Tony’s arc to be the way it was, which was a revelation, especially after the last book. And I was sad too, about him losing some of the men in his platoon. That Gabe and Tony’s friendship is special was established in the first book and to see more of it was wonderful.
After the prologue, the story starts eight months after the shit went down. And it’s as much thrilling as it’s sad. Give me a heroine who can cross-stitch and fire a gun any day. Especially someone who speaks her mind as Elliot does.
As much as I enjoyed sweet as hell Gabe in the previous book, I enjoyed Tony more, with his challenging and as crazy as his counterpart attitude. And when starting this book, I never expected that I would say this!
While the ending is as surprising as it is badass, it has a terrific epilogue as well, with their naughty and hot selves on full display.
P.S. This book had a very important message, to always stay hydrated. Even in between deadly missions, and even in between reading breathtaking books.
P.P.S. Why do I have the sneaky suspicion that next up will be Tony and Gabe’s CO Williams’ story?

Never let your guard down. Always stay vigilant. That’s how you come home in one piece. And now more than ever, I have a reason to come home.
After the prologue, the story starts eight months after the shit went down. And it’s as much thrilling as it’s sad. Give me a heroine who can cross-stitch and fire a gun any day. Especially someone who speaks her mind as Elliot does.
As much as I enjoyed sweet as hell Gabe in the previous book, I enjoyed Tony more, with his challenging and as crazy as his counterpart attitude. And when starting this book, I never expected that I would say this!
So maybe this is love. An explosive, edgy, bloodthirsty type of love.
While the ending is as surprising as it is badass, it has a terrific epilogue as well, with their naughty and hot selves on full display.
P.S. This book had a very important message, to always stay hydrated. Even in between deadly missions, and even in between reading breathtaking books.
