Detonate (Out for Justice Book 7) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,130 ratings

The love of a lifetime hasn't always been easy…

Stefano – Phoenix Commander
He’d waited around long enough.
They’d known each other for over thirty years, been together for a good portion of those years, and had lived in the same house for the past two.
And still, Giovanni Rossi wouldn’t tell people they were a couple. Of course, several of their family and friends suspected they were together, but nothing had ever been confirmed. And frankly, Stefano hated all the secrecy.
Maybe Rossi didn’t want to make it official between them. Or maybe it was as simple as, Rossi wanted to live a straight life for the public.

Bottom line?
Stefano is tired of living in Rossi’s closet.

Rossi – Phoenix Chief
How the hell had he gotten into this predicament?
His boyfriend, who on all accounts should have been his husband years ago, had left him.

And Rossi had only himself to blame.
Now he had to use his elite team of operatives to find the man who held his heart. If he had to, he’d toss Stefano over his shoulder and carry him home. But what if that didn’t work? Well then… he would have to come up with something else to convince Stefano to give him another chance.

Because there's no way in hell Rossi is going to live without him.

*Come along for a wild ride in Detonate (Out for Justice book seven) as the men of Phoenix help Rossi track down Stefano!

**While it is not necessary to read the series to enjoy Detonate, previous couples are involved and do have opinions.

    If you have read the previous books in the series you will know that Stefan Esposito and Giovanni Rossi are the Chief leaders of elite operative groups known as Phoenix and Pegasus. These two have been together for years as partners personally and professionally. A relationship that spans 30 years and even though they are now living together they are still hiding it from most of their family, friends and their teams. Stefano has finally had enough and wants Rossi to have their relationship out in the open. Rossi is still hesitant and Stefano hurt decides he needs a break to figure out whether he wants to continue with things the way they are or if he needs to make permanent break. Rossi with the help of his team goes after Stefano but it seems as if someone is going to hamper their reunion. It is great to finally get a back story of their relationship. As always all action, steamy times and a HEA. A lot of future romance couples were set up in the epilogue and I can't wait for their stories in other series.

    I have waited for this story for a long time. I read this book in one sitting and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Stephano and Rossi have been together for many years in secret but when stephano couldn’t take being a secret anymore he leaves. Rossi realized that the love of his life may be gone forever so he searches for his love but it may be to late when they are kidnapped by a drug dealer.

    This story is a wild ride but has a very happy ending. It was well worth the wait.

    What a wonderful great early Christmas present from Reese!!! Pretty sure she was saving this amazing gem just for us!
    Finally we get to see the truest love story that is better than Romeo and Juliet could ever hope to be because there is lots of love, then we get bullets flying, a drug lord and phoenix to the rescue!
    Stefano and Rossi after all this time finally get the best love story ever told and I had the privilege of reading it!  20 stars!

    Sad to see this series end but loved that Rossi and Stefano finally got their HEA and Rossi pulled his head out of his behind.

    Stef has spent most of his life being with someone not ready, in the closet and to walk away may kill.him. Rosso is used to leading his men and "don't ask, don't tell" and that can be hard to break down that fear. Kidnapped and destroy drug dealers, fast paced.MM Romance

    In reading Detonate, I like how the story shows the beginning of love for Rossi and Stefano during a time it was frowned upon. They continued to serve their country and hold strong to the love they were building. Rossi changed after he thought he had lost his son, but Stefano continued to love him even as he was in the closet. I like how the author showed both side to the men. She chronicled their love through the changes in society and brought the story home with family and friends. Looking forward to reading the next story.

    Stefano and Giovanni...
    You just knew that they were complex characters and that their story would be just the same way.

    I have been rooting for these two characters to finally officially come out the closet to their chosen family for so long and this was well worth the wait.

    If you have been following this series and the others tied into it, then you will understand why this is has been throughly anticipated. Reese Knightley has once again given her characters life and the justice that they richly deserve.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love and action pack!!
    Reviewed in Canada on December 19, 2022
    Contains: action pack including fight, dead, beatting up. heartbreak, soulmate, teamates, drűg dealer, hea.

    Reese strike again plus this time, she bring a gift, a surprise its release day kinda gift!!!! We waited so long for this book.

    It's full of love. There is some flashbacks where we learn how they met, when they fell in love, how pheonix was create. So d@mn cute.

    After Stefano breakup with Rossi, he went away, took time off and relax on the beach... but problem always find themselves attract to Pheonix. After he taunted them, he is attacked and kidnapp by a drug dealers. Rossi will do anything to bring back the love of his live back home. He realize that Stefano is his another half. He is not himself without him. Both their heart are bleeding but true love never fade. They belong together. I do believe the drűg traffic mystery is not over. Can't wait for the next book.

    Thanks Stefano to let us know there is a lot more to these beautiful man. And to the author, thanks you so much to always be an hea. I think I would cry if it wasn't.

    Great book, full of angst in a relationship with 30 years of love and hardship. These two men have been so much to each other until Stefano can’t take Ross hiding their relationship any longer, now Rossi must find him before it’s to later.

    Reviewed in Australia on December 21, 2022
    This was a sweet story of one very patient man. Gio and Stef, oh how perfect are they. It was nice to catch up with everyone else also. Great read.

    Its sad to realize that there are more books to come and we have to-wait.
    Wish they all could come at once, so we could binge read.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Just too predictable.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2023
    Thankfully, I have read this book via Kindle Unlimited. And quickly returned it without finishing it.
    The seniors of a military group who live and love one another, except one wants to keep them both a secret.
    The other is so fed up of this, leaves and goes to stay in Aruba with friends. Although he wants to go radio silent on his lover he leaves the GPS switched on, on his phone.
    It just became farcical and I found myself eye-rolling with how much it felt like reading a parody.
    I do give respect to the author for their skills with weaving a story.
    Unfortunately, it's not a good story. For me, it was rather cringe worthy.
    Sadly this was my first book by this author, and I can happily state, it will be my last.
