Publisher's summary

When the daughter of a White House aide goes missing, the President calls in Zane Lewis and his team of former special forces soldiers to find the missing girl. The Red Team, having a well-earned reputation for being the best, discovers the true motive behind the kidnapping, and all hell breaks loose.

All Olivia Cox wants to do is escape her life. The harder she tries to break free from the pressure and obligations of her stifling family, the faster she sinks into a nightmare of her own making. This latest decision may be the last one she ever makes. Finding herself in a dingy room handcuffed and held prisoner, Olivia becomes an unsuspecting pawn in a game she didn’t know was being played.

Leo “Panther” Gillonardo is a former SEAL who thought he knew the game better than most. He's a professional, a tier one contractor. She’s the mission. Protecting Olivia should be his only objective. So why does he keep finding himself in her bed? Even if she's fully clothed and terrorized by memories of her kidnapping, he knows better and is desperate to keep Olivia at arm's length. As the days pass it becomes nearly impossible to keep his growing attraction under wraps. The stakes are high, and his heart is on the line.

With a drug cartel in hot pursuit, Panther and the Red Team have no choice but to take Olivia on the run. With time running out, Wolf and Abe offer them protection from the deadly warlord Gomez. Alone in Abe's mountain cabin, sparks fly. Giving in seems inevitable, and Olivia must decide if she’s all in or if she’ll fold as Panther plays a no-holds-barred game of the heart.

From the political corruption of Washington, DC to the sunny shores of California, follow Susan Stoker’s Navy SEALs, John “Tex” Keegan, Matthew “Wolf” Steel, and Christopher “Abe” Powers, on a thrill ride when they join the Red Team on an epic mission.

somewhat short, but a great listen

loved this addition to the series, but wish it had been longer. Clarke and Robbins do a great job bringing the book to life!

Loved it! Great voices and awesome story.

Jason Clarkes voice… OMG 🤤🤤🤤 Buy this book! Loved the story and how there wasn’t a bunch of miscommunication back and forth with the mc’s. I can’t stand when the characters argue just to argue.

Leo/Panther & Olivia -- Red Team Book 2

Enjoyed this 2nd book in the series, though not quite as much as the first book. Liked the scenes with Leo's Italian family -- very funny. This book is shorter, which i actually liked, because I was in the mood for a quick listen. Narration is by Jason Clarke and Carly Robins and was great. Very enjoyable listen.

Love this series!

Riley Edwards knows how to keep me entertained with her romantic suspense! The Red Team is a series I love to visit and this one is no exception! Leo is off to rescue the daughter of a government aide. When he finds her in conditions of dehydration and squalor, it doesn't stop the instant protectiveness he feels. Olivia is enamored with her hero, but is that the attraction? This good looking, special forces operative is warm and compassionate, but there is more there than meets the eye. Once safe, we are taken into a world of lies and deceit with twists and turns we don't see coming. It's on the edge of your seat thrills, unbridled passion, family, forgiveness, redemption and love all brought to life. Edwards kept me engaged and invested in the outcome and now I can't wait to listen to the next in this series.

Jason Clarke and Carly Robins are a fabulous team. Clarke has that commanding, alpha hero voice and the warmth he adds in when speaking to Olivia is just heart melting. Robins creates Olivia with strength and courage as she comes through tragedy and gives her a personality that is easy to love and relate to. I enjoy this team and will always pick up their narrations!

Female narrator

Made the story that darn good . Both narrator’s were awesome but the woman narrator really made the story much better for me

Suspenseful!

This is the second book in the Red Team Series, a suspenseful Military Romance. Leo and Olivia’s story is well written, and captivating! This is my favorite story in the Series. Looking forward to listen to Redeeming Violet, the next book in the Series. Teddy Hamilton, and Carly Robins did a fantastic job with the narration. I enjoyed it. I was given a free review copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I am drawn to the brothers not of blood but deed. I love the bond that each team has with another. The fact that no matter the circumstances they are bonded together to get the mission accomplished.
