Here's Eden Finley's Mike Bravo Ops series. "Zeus" is the fourth novel in this series.
["CALLIE
After constantly looking over my shoulder as I run for my life, I’m on the brink of giving up.
On happiness.
On love.
On life.
Which is why, when a familiar face shows up where I’m hiding, I shock myself by running again. Though, probably not as shocked as Zeus is when I run him off the road with my car.
For some reason, my survival instinct is stronger than my mind is, and I find myself fighting for the life I’m not even sure I want.
On the run and nowhere to turn, I flee into the arms of the last person I should. Suddenly, I find myself involved in one of the worst crime syndicates in Las Vegas, and no way to get out.
ZEUS
Why would Callie run away from me? I’m delightful, damn it. I mean, sure, he probably thinks I’m trying to kill him, but I’m not. I’ve been hired to make sure he’s okay and that he’s surviving after escaping an abusive relationship, making mistakes, and putting multiple people’s lives in danger.
He screwed up, but he doesn’t deserve to die for it. And now, because of me, his life is at risk yet again.
Technically, my job is done. Callie is still breathing. That’s all I was supposed to find out. But I can’t sit by knowing he’s selling his soul. His body. I need to get him out, and I’ll go to any lengths to do it."]
Whelps, that was all of the feels in rapid succession and in a rollercoaster order. I cried, a few fines.
But I was also giggling and smiling and cheering often. There’s just something about this grown ass men who love blowing shit up instead of dealing with their feelings, the constant back and forth banter, the found family filled with so much trust and sass.
Callie and Zeus met each other time and time again. Enemies, friends, lovers. But it was never the right time. They both had growing up and self-reflection to do. It sucked (for me), but it only made them closer together in the end.
Loooove the Princess cameo (and drunk Iris moments)!
Trigger Warnings: recovery from domestic violence, sex trafficking, torture, mentions of suicide and suicidal ideation, murder, and more.
