This was by far my favorite in the series so far! I love wolf so much. I have enjoyed his character in all the other books so when I realized this was his I was so excited. He’s such a big tough guy that shows no feelings but when he opened up and let her in he was such a softie. He’s definitely a protector and won’t budge when it comes to safety but when it comes to other things he’s a sweetheart. I loved seeing him open up. He has such a soft spot for animals and it’s adorable. Hands down SUCH a good read!

Deep Ops #3 Wolfe & Dana's story. The deep ops unit is still working on the Lassiter case & getting used to working together as a rag tag team. This book delves deeper into Wolfe's character and his quest to find the traitor that killed his platoon. Angus, Nari, Mal, & Pippa are helping out. Roscoe the dog is still in the throes of shoes & alcoholism. Dana is a target that Wolfe wants to protect but will she ever get out of the "friend" zone. Fast paced & suspenseful

This is my favorite installment in the Deep Ops series. Dana and Wolfe have been making moon eyes at each other for a while so I was ready for them to get it in.
Dana was a journalist on the trial of those who kidnapped her friend and Wolfe was looking for an ex military teammate who betrayed the team. They both needed each other to solve this dilemma, but they were also really attracted to each other.

The way Wolfe fought his feelings created more angst and it also showed how much he really cared about Dana because he recognized that she could become a target for the person hunting him. I felt their chemistry more than any other couple and the trip to Tennessee was so well written. I felt like i was there with Dana’s family at the wedding. This series hit a stride with this book as the band of misfits really became a team.

I love Rebecca Zanetti and I hope one of Grey brothers pops up in this series.

Broken is the third installment in the "Deep Ops" series and I have been wanting to get back to this series and get Wolfe's story as he has been teased for a while now. I was really pulled into the audio pretty quickly and I do enjoy this narrator. There is something so well done about the way that Rebecca Zanetti writes her suspense. I just adore how well paced her books are and how they instantly pull you into the story. I really loved the style in which this story was developed. We have a matching of a military secret ops type of hero with a journalist heroine. Normally I hate journalist heroines, but in this one, it was well done and she was so relatable and had a good heart. I enjoyed the BDSM elements that entered into the story and how this couple did what worked for them. I enjoyed the way that these two come together and really find their way together. The romance just seemed to fit for the characters and I enjoyed seeing how it all gets wrapped up in the end. Overall a solid installment of the Deep Ops series and I am eager for the next one. If you are a fan of romantic suspense, then this author is a must read.

The author once again does an amazing job at drawing us into the Deep Ops world!! This is Wolfe and Dana’s story. This is the third book book of the series, I’ve loved Wolfe from the start he’s like the loveable teddy bear but yet you don’t want on his bad side. The story begins with them both being on a mission but they didn’t realize each other was working on. However they have worked together plenty of times as Wolfe helps Dana on her investigative stories and she supplies him with information on cases of his. They are just friends nothing more because Wolfe doesn’t want or need any distractions and he has his kitten KAT for companionship. However things don’t always work as planned. Overall amazing story can’t wait for the next one! Love this author!

Broken...what can I say - opened with some enticing bits - and continually built throughout the book - moving quickly, and sometimes so slow :) Dana can hold her own against the Wolfe; and the great metamorphosis begins for them both...there are high action moments, some light comedy to break the tension... and those sweet sexy lulls that recharge you to take the next hit....the ending was complicated and drew me in - could not put it down. Perfect read to kick off a Zanetti reading summer!!

Former Navy SEAL, Clarence Wolfe’s unit was taken out with a landmine in Afghanistan. When he realizes it wasn’t an accident he is determined to bring down the man responsible. Reporter Dana Mulberry is determined to find out what happened to her friend, even if it means going undercover at a BDSM club. When she runs into Wolfe, they decide to work together to find the information they are both seeking. But how long can they deny the attraction between them.

I was so excited to get an ARC of this book because I have been waiting for Wolfe's story since he was introduced. The sparks have been flying between Wolfe and Dana since they ran into each other and I knew their story was going to be a good one.

“I’ve always indulged myself with Sweets, Dana. You’re the sweetest thing in my life, in any life, and I’m keeping you. I love you. Always.”

Wolfe is a little crazy. He clearly suffers from TBI (traumatic brain injury) from the explosion that killed his unit. But he has learned to live with it and use it to his advantage. He is extremely controlling but Dana has a way of getting him to loosen up. Dana is the perfect woman for Wolfe because she challenges him and makes him feel alive again. She doesn’t let him hide his emotions and live for revenge.

Dana is a reporter who is known for her investigation skills. I liked her from the start. She is smart, determined, and yet still very feminne. I liked how she was always standing up to him and pushing him. She never let him control everything and wasn’t afraid to speak her mind to him.

I really enjoyed the romance between these two. It was perfect and just what I expected for this couple. Zanetti really knows how to write a great romance between characters. I really can’t wait for Force’s story. I want him to find happiness so bad.
