Eagle Tactical #4

by Willow Fox

Welcome to Breckenridge, where the men are rugged, dominant, and will do whatever it takes to protect the women they love.

Jayden wasn't the bad guy, just the bad boy and I fell for him, hard.

Jayden
My niece has been missing for months and I've spent every waking hour tracking her down. I need a partner in crime, a woman on the inside that can help me gather intelligence.

Skylar is cute, snarky, and Jaxson's younger sister. She's completely off-limits and when my former military brother discovers that I've hired her in secret, he's going to kill me.

Skylar
Desperate for cash, I agree to an undercover operation with Jayden Scott. For two grand a week, I have to be his fake fiancé. There's more to the job, he wants me to sneak around inside his boss's house and find everything I can on his niece’s whereabouts.

The plan goes south fast and I'm given an ultimatum: kidnap three girls by midnight or be sold at auction.

Another great book to the series. This one brings Jayden and Skylar's story. The author does a fantastic job building the story and pulling me in with the intense story line. She brings action and danger as well as the romance and paints her scenes perfectly , moving the story fluidly. Loved and recommend.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

Wow, what a ride! Skylar needs money and Jayden needs help. He has money and a proposal. However, she wasn’t expecting the danger involved in getting out f her financial troubles. She didn’t see her need for cash taking her to the places she ended up. Jayden and the ETB never disappoint and they were not about to start now. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT book!

Most intense one of the series

It’s hard to put any of Willow’s books down to do anything. This one kept me glued to the edge of my seat. I hope eventually she writes a story for Declan and Aiden.

This is the final book in the Eagle Tactical series , it brings everything together and ties up all the loose ends.

Jayden Scott had been buddies with Mason, Aiden, Jaxson, Declan and Lincoln in the US special forces but he had stayed off the straight and narrow.

Eagle Tactical had been set up for security and protection but Jayden had refused to join them.

Jayden's niece was missing and he suspected the mafia, he had to find her and to do this he enlisted the help of Jaxson's younger sister, Skylar....Jaxson would kill him if he found out that he had put his sisters life in danger.

This is an action packed story encompassing kidnapping, human trafficking, sex slavery, murder and of course romance.

All their lives were in danger, Enzo Ricci and Angelo De Luca were mafia and not to be toyed with.

Mason, Jaxson and Lincoln would do anything to rescue their women, could they outwit the mafia ? will Jayden prove his worth ?

This is a good conclusion to the four book series, an enjoyable story although I would have enjoyed them more if they each had an ending.

Sloppy editing. Missing words, incorrect words, loose threads left untouched. What happened with Diamond, did they bother tracking the rest of the girls, was there a reason to tie up the Ben plot in a few paragraphs at the end? Like all of the books in this series, careful editing and more writing would go a long way to actually tell the whole story. For example, how did they locate Ben, what took so long given his actual hideout, how did the takedown happen? I read all 4 books hoping that unanswered storylines would wrap up. Didn’t happen. We still don’t know how the hostage situation at the resort was sorted out or why the off-gridders were massacred. A bar is reasonable for laundering a small amount of cash, but nothing significant. Nothing indicated who actually owned the bar, yet Jayden seemed to know? The series reads like an outline with about 60% of the writing actually completed. So many typos convinced me that there’s a rush to publish instead of taking enough time to write a really good book.

If Skylar ever wants to find a place of her own and stop living in her brother Jaxson's guest room, she needs to find a better job. Spending money at the local bar every night doesn't help, but she can't help wanting to spend more time with hot bartender Jayden. When Jayden literally proposes a solution...$2000 a week to pose as his fiance and get information out of his boss, mafia boss Enzo Ricci, she accepts. Jayden has been working for Enzo, trying to find his niece Lexa, who was taken by Enzo's sex trafficking operation. But at a party, things go terribly wrong when Skylar herself is taken.
This was definitely the most action- packed book in the series and had me on the edge of my seat to see how the team was going to rescue all the women. I'm hoping that the series continues with Declan and Aiden.

Wow - this story wrapped up the series with a bang. Story starts off quickly and hits the gas. Danger flies before it is even expected and doesn't let up until the very end.

All of Eagle Tactical and their women are in this one including Skylar and Jayden.

Only down side is there is not as much time spent with Skylar and Jayden and their relationship as we saw in previous stories, but there is a pretty good reason.

Story had me shocked as the twists came. For a small town, Breckinridge definitely is not a quiet place. Good thing for Eagle Tactical.

Great wrap up at the end. A satisfying read.

This book was a non stop action adventure suspense romance. It had it all really.
Jayden asks Skylar, Jaxson's sister to act as his fiancee for a sting but as usual everything goes wrong.
The suspense in this was huge as was the drama. It built in intensity till the end where it really escalated. But that gave it a fantastic and eventful ending. I really liked the multiple view points, after getting used to it that way. Great characters, great writing and interesting and fast paced plot. I don't need any thing more!

I’m new to the series so I didn’t know all the backstories - not absolutely needed BUT the book was titled “Jayden” and, while his actions set off the situations that powered the story, as much of the story involved Jaxson and Ariella as Jayden and Skylar. I didn’t particularly like either Jayden or Skylar - his pride kept him from asking for help when he should have and Skylar just seemed to never learn from her mistakes. Despite that, the story was good, lots of action, and a number of loose ends tied up.

You’ve got to love those eagle tactical boys, they are over the top awesome. Jayden pulled Skyler into such danger not realizing that would be the outcome, his intentions were good. He made up for his mistakes in a big way. I’m so glad Jaxson and Ariella’s story continued through this book they even got their HEA. I was drawn into this book immediately upon the start. There is such danger and drama throughout, the characters are so well developed you feel you know them and each of their personalities. This book keeps you going until the fantastic ending.

This is the last in the Eagle Tactictal series (this book can be read as a standalone however it’s advisable to read the previous books to know who all the characters are) and wow what a finale, this book is how Skylar (Jaxson’s (whose co owner of Eagle Tactictal with his military buddies) sister) and Jayden (just a bad boy not a bad guy) get together.

This book ties up all the loose ends in the previous books and gives a happily ever after, to all the previous books however the author can actually open this series back up to include another member of the Eagle Tactictal team if she wanted to!

[Elizabeth Kemper · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fast paced and breathholding

Jayden and Skylar are rather discontented in their lives. When Jayden offers Skylar a way to, what should be, a quick way to make money, she jumps on it. But Jayden tosses her into the deep end, without a way to escape. Enter Eagle Tactical, because Jayden's lone wolf ways have put all the good guys in danger. The mob, many branches of them, permeate the local town, and they all seem to have a piece of this adventure. Things get tricky, messy and ominous pulling everyone in. Jayden's goal is noble, but his methods are sketchy. Fortunately, Eagle Tactical swoops in to save everyone (mostly) and the result is all the main characters have their happily ever after.

[Bill Jakobsen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, a great ending to the series

If you haven't read books 1-3 please read them before this book. This book is so exciting and gosh, filled with a lot of intrigue and suspense. It also answers a lot of questions/thoughts you might have. The descriptions of everything that went on with all the women and what their men had to do... Wild. Jayden was such an odd duck until his book. Skylar, Jaxson's sister, you'll have to read about her in this book and judge her for yourself. I'm now going to be checking out more of Willow's books Hope you enjoy this series as much as I have.

[Jenni · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jayden offers Jaxons sister Skylar a job she cant refuse, become his fake fiancee to help him get info on his missing niece Lexa, whose taken by Enzo into a trafficking ring. but soon trouble calls and Skylar ends up taken too! when will it be time to let Jaxon and the Eagle Tactical in on their covert operation? and will Ariella and Jaxon ever get their HEA? book 4 in the series and seemingly final too! the story grips you from the get go, the characters draw you into their lives and take you on an action packed, suspense filled ride!

[Marilyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jayden is undercover in the mafia. He asks Skylar to help him. Skylar is Jaxson's sister. Jayden is a brother in arms to the Eagle Tactical team. He's looking for his niece, who has been missing for months and she's only 15.
Skylar agrees to be Jayden's fiancé so she can get information about his niece.
Of course plans go wrong as usual.
Lots of action, suspense and romance.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I got this story for free and am giving my opinion freely and voluntarily leaving this review.

I have never encountered a worse main character in romance in 4 1/2 decades. Skylar was the worse in the three previous books and she’s the worst in this one. Ariella, Hazel, and Harper are all way better than they were in their own books but Skyler continues to be the worst. I really did not like how much she makes Ariella and Jaxon continue to take over the three books following the first one. And this particular book was the worst example of it. It really detracted from Skylar and Jayden’s story to keep having it go back to focus on Ariella and Jaxon.

[SWR · Rating 4 out of 5]

Add Jayden to the list of yummy men of Eagle Tactical! As always, Willow has kept the pace up, so that you can't put the book down. This book touches on a real life, current issue, but does it in such a way that is somehow less...and more...than reality - and keeps the story & character sizzling. Another hit!

I received this complimentary ARC copy from the author of the Eagle Tactical series book 4.   I have read every book in this series and have come to love all the characters in the story they feel like they are my friends and family.  This book was just as good as the other three books in the series,  there is plenty of action, kidnapping, trafficking, set,  gun and fist fights with the tension building and finally the happy ending.

[Maggi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jayden works as a bartender at a bar owned by the Dante Ricci. His niece is missing and he believes Enzo Ricci is behind the human trafficking ring. He needs to get inside info and asks Skylar to play along as his fake fiancé. When the two attend a party at the Ricci mansion things go horribly wrong. Good storyline that is action packed and fast paced and believable characters. I loved it.

Finally we have an ending for Jaxxson and Ariella. The Eagle Tactical team has mostly had their stroy told, though there is room to add to it should the author so desire.

This final book to the series was a broad undertaking and it felt to me like the author had taken on too big of job. By the second half, things were back on track and the story ran smoothly.

Skylar is Jaxson's sister, and she would like to move out of her brother's home. In order to do that she will need money. It is desperation that drives he to take a job undercover. This book was an incredible way to wrap up the Eagle Tactical series. This book was really exciting and well put together.

I felt so satisfied after a completed this book. I absolutely fell in love with the characters of the whole series.

[CAH - malphrusc · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am glad that I chose to read the entire series as this book provided closure to a couple of loose ends. I think the storylines were good - it my first time reading HFN endings but I finally got the HEA I was looking for.. The author recommends reading in order- while I agree, I took a little break in between books since they could actually stand alone.

This is the 4th book I have read in this series and each of the books has been well written and gripping. This is no exception. A great combination of my favourite topics, romance, alpha males facing adversity. Great read. Cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Wow, this one is just awesome. There is so much going on . I'm glad that Jayden and Skylar got their own story and what a story it is. All the pieces come together in this one. I could read this series over again, it was so good.I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.

This is the 4th book of this series.
I like how it tied up loose ends from the other books in this series, and gave a few answers as to why characters were the way they were from other books.
Jayden finally gets his chance to be heard, as does Skylar.
Now we learn a few truths about Jayden and his past, and finally the answers about other relationships are confirmed.
Good series.

[Ritu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jayden offers Skylar a job, that turns into more danger than expected. Jaxson is incredible, and does what he has to in order to protect his loved ones. I love this book, suspenseful, and well written!
