I loved how strong and smart arsed Missy is and how she takes no shit from Roi. The best book in the bookset of four that I've read.
Missy is paranormal because she was experimented on as a child, she also happens to be Roi's mate. She met him when she was four and has been searching for him her whole life. The road for them is not smooth, he's been with a lot of women and Missy doesn't want to just be a notch on his bedpost. Roi suffers from foot in mouth disease, it seems they are doomed from the start, especially when he learns who she works for and wants her to stay safe and out of harms way.
However, when he and his team see her in action and have only respect for her bad-ass-ness. A fantastically hot book with well thought out characters.

*Sighs heavily....*
I was highly disappointed with this novel as a whole. Firstly, Roth chose to ignore all the wonderful foreshadowing she built up in the first book and focus on two other characters instead of flushing out all the powerful and addicting action that she could have. Secondly, this novel is all about sex. Even the action is made light of because the author focuses on the would-be sexual relationship of Roi and Missy. It's more than regretful because she makes them both out to be characters whose actions scream out, both are very good at what they do and yet we don't really see them in action.
There is a magnificent fight scene that draws inspiration from the first novel in the series but not much happens with it. I was expecting a chase, a race to figure out who was behind it, something. I mean, for a paranormal government agency that centers on paranormal activity and making sure angry supernaturals don't kill off the human race, we don't really see any of the operatives at work. It's really just there as background instead of being integral to the plot as it should be. I have the entire collection but now i don't want to finish it. I had been so optimistic at the end of the first novel, even though it wasn't that good, and now all my hopes are dashed.

Parts of the story were a little convoluted, so I was confused and had to go back and re-read some bits. But otherwise, this was a pretty fun read. I'm glad these books are turning out to be decent, since I purchased them on a whim. :-)

Critical Intelligence (Immortal Ops #2)
is better than the first book only by a smidge and I think because it was Roi and I loved him in the first book. The Alpha males and their women know how to kick butt and still have fun and make me laugh out loud. Roi is hilarious and asinine and made the story so enjoyable.
Geoffroi "Roi" Majors is a member of the Immortal Ops Team who loves women with no plans to settle down, ever. But when his team are called in to help he discovers his womanising ways are over and his soul mate is right there in front of him. Now all he has to do is convince her, which is easier said than done.
Missy Charter is a secret undercover operator and there are only three people who know. She knows something is up with their new acquaintances but she is not sure what. What she does know though is that her heart beats for a certain womaniser but she won’t give him the time of day.
I loved it so it’s on to the next book.

Missy Carter may be the boss' daughter but she is more than capable! Roi is just off the charts alphaness at its best! Witty banter is foreplay for these two and when they finally get together its OMG hotness!!! The I-ops team and PSI team are generally compertmentalised but now the genie is out of the bottle, can they work together?
We find out more about the despicable Asia project and the females who are now in harms way. Although part of a series, these books can be read as stand alones but much more enjoyable when you read them in order!
