Military Thriller/Romantic Suspense

Closely held secrets can have deadly consequences
Family is everything to OZ operative Jazz McAlister, who once lost everyone and everything she loved. The mysterious disappearance of her brother years ago left a deep ache in her heart that she’s never forgotten. When circumstances bring him abruptly back into her life, Jazz will do anything to find out the truth of where he’s been and what happened to him. Revealing her plans to Xavier Quinn, her OZ partner and best friend, is out of the question. He would never understand. This is something she must do on her own.
Xavier has been in covert ops a long time, but he’s never had a partner like Jazz. She’s smart, brave, and fiercely loyal, and with one look, she can melt his heart of stone. Together, they make a formidable partnership, and it’s one he treasures, which is why he’s stunned when she goes out on her own without any explanation.
Jazz thought she had a plan, but how could she forget that life can turn on a dime? When her life is upended once again, Xavier and her OZ teammates are the only ones she trusts to help her. If only her recklessness hadn’t put her in the crosshairs of a sadistic predator bent on stealing her life.
As the Option Zero team rush to save Jazz, forces no one could ever have predicted will do everything within their power to see that Jazz and her team are destroyed forever.
But love is stronger than hate, and family is often more of the heart than blood, proving once again that evil cannot win.

REVIEW
The action and mystery continues in the Option Zero series with the focus on operatives Jazz and Xavier. Great character development especially for Jazz who had a horrible life as a teen. I liked the connection these two main characters had with each other and the overall support of the entire team. Christy writes stories that immediately draw you in and you feel a deep connection to this team of characters. This is a complete story but all in the books in this series are a continuation from the beginning. I recommend starting at book 1, Merciless. Highly recommend.

Welcome to the world of Option Zero
Beneath a barrage of bullets and destruction, six men defied death and betrayal to form an unbreakable bond of friendship and loyalty. Though the people responsible sought to destroy them, in the end, they only made them stronger.
And like a Phoenix rising from those ashes of destruction, Option Zero was born.
Both hated and respected, OZ works under the cover of anonymity. They have free rein–as long as they don’t get caught. If that ever happens, they’ll be tried and convicted without help from any government.
Receiving intel from multiple sources throughout the world enables OZ to do things ordinary citizens could never accomplish. But they’re living on borrowed time. Many have tried to take them down, and at some point, someone will succeed. It’s a price they’re willing pay.
The warriors of OZ will stop at nothing to achieve their objectives.
