Lethal (Operation Justice Force Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 1,793 ratings
A traitor with stolen information.
Adam Campbell, 33, blacklisted CIA agent, needs to get covert information into the right hands. Alone and on the run, his world suddenly stops when he discovers the identity of the Pegasus operative who is on his tail. Arranging a meeting just to gaze into the eyes of the man he’s always loved, Adam is set up and almost killed. Out of resources and nowhere to turn, Adam returns to the only home he’s ever known.

An operative who always catches the bad guy.
Dalton Weber, 38, second in command of Pegasus, has a job to do: Stop ex-CIA agent, code name Sphinx, from selling classified information. When Sphinx disappears after Dalton’s botched attempt at contact, Dalton takes a much-needed break. Going home for the holiday, Dalton finds Adam, the man he’d walked away from years ago.

A surprising encounter.
Imagine Adam’s shock when Dalton shows up. Imagine Dalton’s disbelief when he finds out the facts about the man who has always owned his heart. When explosions, secrets, and attempted murder hit close to home, Pegasus opens up a lethal dose of ass kicking. Will that be enough to stop the bad guys and give Adam a chance to come clean?

"Lovestruck" An Amazon Reviewer.
Reese Knightley has my number: smart, sexy, and lethal men paired with danger, suspense, and action. Yes please and may I have fifths. I loved it all: the chase, the mystery, the amazing found family, and the second-chance love. "The only thing on earth that mattered was this man in his arms."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Never a disappointment with a Reese Knightly book and her men in special forces.

    Lethal brings the suspense, love and the fight for justice. Dalton and Adam fell in love when they were young but didn’t know how to really make it work. Thirteen years of wasted time and Adam aka Sphinx blacklisted in the CIA. Dalton and Pegasus was assigned to find and bring Sphinx in but the meeting was compromised. Adam and Dalton recognized each other’s voice when they were shooting at each other. Adam decided he needed to change venue and decided to go home which was at Dalton family house. Dalton and Pegasus was given the Christmas holidays off and he was really missing Adam and decided to go home not knowing that Adam was there. He thought Adam might be Sphinx but he couldn’t prove it. Adam was unsure of Dalton would arrest him so he withheld his identity until his location was compromised yet again. He finally started putting the pieces together and needed Pegasus to help catch the true criminals. Great love story with a beautiful HEA. Looking forward to book 2.

    Reese Knightly has, again, crafted a new series with handsome guys and lots of excitement. I thought the two main characters, Dalton and Adam, were written especially strong and I was taken with them immediately. The other permanent characters were good as well. The only problem I had with this book was the length of time it took before Dalton realized who Adam actually was. I was becoming a tad frustrated with that situation. Otherwise, a great book and I enjoyed the teasing about who might or might not pair up. It was also fun to see characters from the author's other series make cameo appearances. Can't wait until the next book, Gage and Mason's story, Rough.

    Adam and Dalton's story is filled with mild heat, action, and suspense. In order to have their happy ever after the two men will need to let go of the past and survive the present. I really enjoyed these two men snarky banter and looking forward to the other men in Pegasus stories. Adam is hurting and angry at Dalton and trying to stay alive long enough to figure out who set him up. Meanwhile Dalton realizes he made a huge mistake by walking away and just wants his boo back lol. I highly recommend reading and as always Happy Reading!!!

    The story was alright but there was an inconsistency that rubbed me the wrong way. The bad guys try to kill Adam from the get-go but when they finally get their hands on him, they tie him up and try to get answers instead. Some of these guys sounded and acted like women, not like seasoned operatives, at least imo. I’m not sure if I’ll continue with the series. Maybe when Jacob’s story comes out.

    This is an amazing start of a new series. Packed with action and suspense, a burned spy, a secret organization with highly trained ex special forces solders, betrayal, lost and found love, and a story I couldn't put down. Highly recommended.

    Great character development and narrative. The only thing that I wished for was better editing. It was a bit difficult at times to understand what was happening because of the grammar. But I made it through, and it was worth it. Can't wait to start the next one!

    <b>Contains: young love, second chance, falling for the bad guy (or not so bad?), muscle, handsome men, gun, intrigue and action.

    What do you want more???</b>

    Reese Knightley is back with a brand new series. Once again, <b>she blows us away with all this action-pun intended. The romantic scenes are set on fire.</b> I think this one is my favorite so far from this author.

    Once again, we find endearing and sweet characters. <b> One hell of a team with big muscle, big gun and big trouble. </b>

    Adam, Sphinx, is a CIA agent who is wanted by the FBI as a traitor, someone betrayed him and put him in this mess.

    Dalton is Adam's ex-boyfriend from his youth and is part of the new Elite group, Pegasus. They have been hired by the FBI to find Sphinx.

    <b>So who's in on it, who are the real traitors, who are the bad guys, and who will fall in love? </b>

    If you like to play detective on who is the bad guy, if you love action and drama and if you love MM action, READ THIS AWESOME BOOK!!!!! If you havnt understand yet.... I totally recommend this book. 🖤

    Having loved the Phoenix series seeing a new one as a spin-off meant an automatic pre order.
    This story is up to usual standard with both Adam and Dalton great characters to lead off, and a great cast of member of Oegasus to keep the interest going.
