Operation: Endeavor is the second book in Christi Snow’s When the Operation Ends trilogy. I’m happy to say that this book was just as strong as the first book in the series. The characters continue to shine and the story-telling continues to keep you on your toes, which is a very good thing for a romantic suspense book.
In this installment, we follow Colton (Cole) now that he has left the military in order to help his family heal. Cole, Cassie and Chris h...more

A confession first. I totally didn’t get that this book was about the same group of people I grew to love in Operation: Endgame. I really try not to read synopsis of books I want to read. Every book is like a Christmas gift. I don’t want to ruin the surprise. But YAHOO when I found out I was going to be hanging out with a familiar bunch of yummy Texans, I was MORE than EXCITED.
Now I’m “in the know” and I’ve read the synopsis. I am picturing Darma from Darma and Greg as Penelope. WRONG!!! Penelop...more

This review was originally posted on The Book Vixen. I received an advance reader copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Why I Read this Book: I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Operation: Endgame. That book had a well-balanced blend of romance and suspense and I expected Operation: Endeavor to follow suit, which it did.
What I Liked: I love how the author brings the backstory to the reader in the way of a prologue. It gives the reader information to help...more

Operation: Endeavor by Author Christi Snow, is the second book in her thrilling Romantic Suspense series When the Mission Ends. It picks up soon after the end of Operation: Endgame, which would be beneficial to read prior to Endeavor. There are more hot ex-military men, more steamy sex scenes, and more suspenseful moments to keep you guessing!!

Colton has control issues- he has to- he's been taking care of his siblings since he was 10. Being a career military officer just reinforced them. But his world threatens to come crashing down around him when horrible events happen to both of his siblings within a year.
Enter Penelope- Colton has never really thought of her as more than his sister's flighty, slightly hippie friend. Which is why, when he decides to leave the Air Force and move back to be closer to his family he agrees to be her ro...more

After reading hundreds of books it's rare that you can't figure out the ending. Operation Endeavor will keep you guessing until the very end. Christi has done a great job writing this book, you will not want to put it down.
Colton has taken responsibility for his younger twin siblings since he was ten years old. He retires from the Air Force to help care for his younger brother Chris who was injured on a mission. Chris hates the fact that he needs help and having Colton hovering over him is not h...more

To say that Colton has some control issues would be an understatement. He acquired them at a very young age. When his parents died he embraced the role as big brother. He felt obligated to protect his younger siblings. As his military career progressed he kept with the role as a protector. He does not see himself as a controlling annoyance. He truly believes that he knows what is best for those around him, he has their best interest at heart, and he only wants to protect those that he cares abou...more
Operation: Endeavor picks up a little while after the first book with Colton, the oldest of the Robertson siblings. Since their parents died when they were young he has always taken care of everyone and its translated into him sometimes being bossy and over protective and trying to push his will on everyone else.
This didn't bode well with his brother Chris recovering from the horrible 6 month ordeal he just went through and the need for distance between them became apparent.
Enter Penelope, Col...more

'Operation: Endeavor' is the second book in the 'When the mission ends' trilogy. It tells the story of Colton, Cassie's older brother, and Penelope, one of Cassie's best friends.
Although the story was different from 'Operation: Endgame', because the suspense wasn't nerve-wrecking, I was still glued to my kindle trying to find out what was going on. And the romance! Colton and Penelope are so different from each other and yet, so meant to be. (And if you love sexy times, there's more in h...more

I read Operation: Endgame when it was first released, totally sold on the cover of course :-) I really enjoyed the storyline involving family and close friends in the first one and put off reading Operation: Endeavor too long.
I'm so happy I picked this one up and started reading it the other day as I missed the romantic suspense stories I had been reading a lot. This one picks up where the last one seemed to end with this plot line more focused on Colton (the oldest). Love the sexual tension tha...more

This book was so much better than the first. Not because I didn't love Cassie and Jake, they were great, but because the storyline was so much better. I can't eait to read book three because I think Chris' story will be wonderful. Colton amd Penelope really are perfect for each other. Their main issue is that she is terrified of losing herself to someone. To giving control of her life to someone else, and Colton is a typical alpha male. Most of the time, he is demanding something instead of aski...more
I'll write a more thorough review when I have had more time to reflect, but my initial thoughts are that this book was nice in that it had action and suspense and some smoking hot scenes but with a fun, irreverent tone that is not typical of this genre. While I liked the first book in this series, this one sealed the deal for me. As the title of the series suggests, it is about special ops guys after they return to civilian life, so it is missing some of the special ops imagery and action one mi...more
This is the second book and we all met Colton and Penelope during the adventures of Operation: Endurance, but I never thought these two would actually be a great couple. It took me by surprise these couples and even after the whole book and some serious kinky sex is strange to see Colton let go so much of control. I always though he would this great Dom with some naughty girl by his side.
But Penelope was even better than I hoped for because she’s way more than a little bookstore owner and it’s a...more

Just a word of warning. If you haven’t started this series, pick up Operation: End Game before you read this review. I don’t write reviews with spoilers but content in this review will contain spoilers for the first book in the series. ;)
Readers were only given a glimpse of Colton in Operation: End Game. Just a taste of who he really was. The main focus was on Cassie and Jake, which is how it should have been. No complaints, because I really liked them as a couple. They were the perfect choice t...more

I have a confession: I did not think any book would be better than the first one from this series (Operation: Endgame). As one of Christi's beta readers, I got to read the first draft of this book. While I liked it, I didn't love it nearly as much as Cassie & Jake's story. I had high hopes for Colton and fell in love with him during Endgame.
This is the first time I'm reading it since the first draft and not only do I LOVE this version so much more than the original, I LOVE it MORE than Endga...more

Loved this book! Cannot wait for the next. So easy to connect with all the characters! I just want to know more & more about all of them! This series is a must read! It grabs you from the beginning & keeps you guessing..... When you're done it's kind of sad.... Like saying good bye to a good friend.
