Act of Passion  (Immortal Ops 

Nicola Sarah Brooks

The enigmatic, master of patience, Malik is getting his shot at love!

Malik (Aka Tut to the rest of the team) has taken well to the modern world. Unlike some of his luddite shifter teammates he can google with the best of them. But he has a couple of deep, dark secrets he'd rather his teammates didn't know about. But when some R&R after a mission in his home country leads him to a top resort he didn't expect trouble to follow him. When will he ever learn that with Striker about that will ALWAYS happen!

Brooke and her friend don't remember entering any competitions to win a holiday but as struggling Grad students they'll take it anyway. Malik immediately is pulled towards her. But it can only be the meds he's testing right?? Brooke is human as they come. But after a hot and passionate night when Malik all but proposes to her, he kicks her to the kerb, not realising he does to to protect her from the shift that is forcing on him. Later Malik tries to find her only to find out that she and her friend were taken.

Fast forward 5 years and Malik is still searching for Brooke every chance he gets. He keeps smelling that unique scent of hers nearby and it drives him nuts. But not as nuts as when he realises just where she has been and who she has been hiding these last couple of years!

As with any I-Ops/Psi Ops books the vein of humour is large! I love these boys hard. Striker continues to be my favourite (well he is a fellow Scot!) but they all have a home n my heart! Evan Corbin! The A-hole of the Week award is still going strong but what happens when half the team is in the same photo (hint...there is a tea party involved!!!) . As usual I had to read it all in a oner...no quitting for me! Edee is giving Striker a run for his money in the innuendo stakes and I really hope we see more of her! The Corporation are still causing headaches galore for the good guys. No spoilers from me but there are tears at points and I did get a bit irritated by some of Maliks assumptions! But a great book in a fab series!
