Lethal Pursuit (Bagram Special Ops Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

New York Times bestselling author Kaylea Cross delivers edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense with the Bagram Special Ops series

Security Forces Lieutenant Maya Lopez is right at home in a war zone: she's been fighting all her life. A hard-won commission in the air force has brought her to Afghanistan, and if she plays her cards right, she could end up with an FBI job. It won't be easy, but that just makes her more determined.

Jackson Thatcher is a protector in all senses of the word. A pararescue jumper with Southern-boy charm, he easily captures Maya's interest, but her trust is another story. He's sexy, strong and caring, but she makes it clear she's no damsel in distress. She's never relied on any man, and she's not about to start now.

When Maya and Jackson become pawns in a radical warlord's deadly game, they find themselves on the run and must depend on each other if they want to make it out alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense, Emotional, Scary with Romance and Explosive Heat
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2019

This book is powerful as are the others in this series. These woman are warriors in their own right.

Jackson has been on Maya's mind every since he cornered her when she was trying to find Ace in 'Tactical Strike'. In this book we'll get to know these two and the jobs they do at Bagram.

The book opens with Maya making an arrest, and then going off duty. As she heads to the showers she hears something that shows a whole other side of Jackson.

Maya makes a few decisions here about where she wants things to go with Jackson, hopefully he'd be on board.

A very complicated relationship begins as Maya gives everything but refuses to release control.

Then on a humanitarian mission, everything goes FUBAR.

Very intense, emotional, scary, with vivid interrogation scenes, plus romance including the explosive heat that these two emanate when they are close to each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW I had to put this book down twice or risk heart failure!
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2013

It’s full of intense and raw emotion. It tackles the horrors of POW, the integrity of men in uniform and even those not active anymore; the dedication of PJ’s and even the sadistic mind of the extremists.

It’s not necessary to mention the chemistry between the characters because we saw it building in previous book. But so you know, it was smoking hot. In Deadly Descent I was antsy, Tactical Strike was nerve-wracking, but this book was close to give me a heart attack. It is so well written that you relate to all characters (good and bad).

The story is strong and stressing at times and talks about the kind of things you know happen to POW but internally try to ignore because the truth is too much. The strength of all the characters involved in this story was amazing. The will to live, to protect each other, to stay strong. I could go on and on about how great the book is, it feels realistic and compelling.

This is not a “good read” it’s a GREAT Read. If I could I'll give it 10 Stars.

I will probably dream of Jackson for a few nights. Maya is a very lucky lady, and surrendering to him should be no problem. The man is above and beyond pure Alpha Male.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Kaylea Cross winner

Kaylea Cross doen't have a bad book in her and I always look forward to a new find from her. You can read the synopsis elsewhere, but know that this is a really good book. The only reason I can't give it 5-stars is because it's about 20-pages too long. While I appreciate the detail and clarity of her books, I found myself skipping pages here and there starting in the middle of the book. Maya is a beautiful, strong heroine and felt real despite a very, very (very) bad few days at work. She was savvy and determined on top of that. Jackson...well, when you roll strong, sensitive and loving in with good looks and charm, you can't go wrong. Put that in a uniform and I'm done for!

I am happily invested in the lives of her characters and catching up with some of the leads from other books like Cam, Devon, Ace, etc., even very briefly, is a pleasure. And, oh yeah, the sex (which is secondary to the action in this book) is hot! I mean...hot!

WOW! Another FANTASTIC story by Kaylea! We have the tough badass security officer and an enlisted PJ. Maya tries to have control of her life in every aspect of it and that doesn't include falling in love. Jackson is a quiet PJ who has many talents. He is interested in Maya but it seemed like she didn't want anything to do with him. The inevitable happens - both are kidnapped by the enemy. Maya takes the worse of the beatings - all because she is a woman. These scenes were definitely heartbreaking and intense. An unlikely hero rescued them. They were separated from each other once they had reached the hospital. It took 7 weeks before they got back together. Jackson took her to Hawaii and they eloped. So I would say they started their happily ever after! FANTASTIC job Kaylea! I would recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Kaylea Cross I've read
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2013

I've read several of her books, including the other two in this series, and this one is the most riveting one yet. I like Cross's style; think Suzanne Brockmann's characters in the most current war, minus their endless ruminating about their shortcomings. The military stuff is right on, and the characters value the strength in each other.

What they all went through, Maya in particular, is heart-rending and harsh, but I love the way the couple helps each other through it. Honestly, the first two in the series were merely okay to me, they seemed a bit too bogged down in military jargon, I was forever trying to figure out why it was bad that this person was talking to that person because of enlistment rules. In this one, Maya outranks our hero, but it totally isn't an issue. She is all kinds of strong, but isn't over the top about it. Very gripping, fast moving book. I'm going to check out her other series now because I'm thinking I've missed out. I love this author's voice and her style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Military Romance
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2016

This is book 3 and so far my favorite in this series. Maya is a special forces lieutenant in the Air Force and Jackson is a pararescue jumper studying to be a doctor. The attraction between them has only grown stronger and you can't help but look forward to the fireworks you know they're going to set off. But then the unthinkable happens. While providing medical treatment to the locals in one of the smaller villages, Maya and Jackson, along with the Secretary of Defense, are taken prisoner. It's a race against time to either escape or hope they are rescued in time.

We get a lot more of the military action in this one and it keeps you on your toes anticipating what will happen next. I found myself stressing and suffering along with the characters. War sucks and I have the deepest respect for the men and women who serve and protect our freedom.

Another great read. I like both Maya and Jackson very much and am looking forward to the next book in this series.

"I am an American Airman.
Wingman, Leader, Warrior.
I will never leave an Airman behind,
I will never falter, And
I will not fail."

Wow! just, wow! This book was amazing from start finish it was filled with heart pumping action and just when you thought it was safe to breathe again you were thrust into more danger. The writing was incredible, the images so vividly created by Cross have you feeling every single terrifying emotion.

This book was an emotional roller-coaster filled with action, twists, happiness, desperate sadness, true bravery and of course an all-consuming love story.

Maya and Jackson were both true warriors and heroes my heart broke for them both so many times as I tried to even imagine the depth of the hell they were enduring, which like always when I read this series has me reflecting on the true bravery of all our serving troops.

Jackson's character was just so perfect he wasn't obnoxious or cocky but sweet, determined and so damn brave. He had so much love, patience and tenderness with Maya, that he was willing to do anything to protect her.

"That Others May Live" wasn't just a motto he lived by as a PJ. It was everything he stood for. And if he was going to die saving a life today, he wanted it to be Maya's.

Maya was a total bad-ass with such a beautiful heart that she kept concealed to protect herself from the awful pain she had endured early in life. Despite the desperate and terrifying situation they found themselves in I still found my heart jumping as her love for Jackson was shining through the darkness.

The thing I really love about this series is that the sex and romance are not the only thing happening in the story, it weaved seamlessly and more realistically into a larger story that is filled with adrenaline rushing action and set at such a fast pace that from the very first moments you are totally and utterly consumed with the story that is unfolding....... sorry kids you may have to cook your own dinner and do your own washing today, mummy is BUSY!

The story was intense, gripping and thought-provoking, I truly enjoy the fact that Cross also gives us dialogue from the "other side" too and whilst I do not agree with their actions I think it always make the story more engaging having their perspective too. I also love the fact that she takes the time to incorporate the peaceful and generous people in Afghanistan who have honour and help the soldiers in need.

I have said it before and I will say it again - Not a second goes by that I do not regret reading this series sooner.... do not make the same mistake I did...... READ IT NOW!!!

These book whilst a work of fiction have definitely encouraged me to step back and really think about and appreciate the other equally as bad-ass branches in our military (not just the SEALs, Rangers etc) who sacrifice so much in their bid to make the world a safer place.

5.0 out of 5 stars The series just gets better all the time
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2014

This series keeps on surprising me and gets better and better, I think the fact I've read the first three books in two days says I love them.
We've had an introduction to Maya and Jackson in the previous books and now they are the MCs. Jackson appears shy, geeky, always got his head in a book and therefore Maya more or less dismisses him. This isn't the character of a PJ though and she's misjudging him. She convinces a quick fling is all she needs and takes the lead initiating it leaving him feeling used. They don't get a chance to discuss it before they are swept up in an enemy attack and kidnap orchestrated by the group of militants in previous books. We get closing to finding out who the real leader of the insurgents is in this book and what we find out is surprising and I'm assume will be followed up in the next book as has been the previous pattern.
I was pulled in by the dark plot, the danger they were in, the threat of death in the air was palpable. Again, the combination of plot and romance is perfect, focusing mostly on the plot with the interaction of the MCs subtly in the background.
Another thrilling read.T

....well you get the picture!! I absolutely was hooked from the very beginning of the first book, then the second upped the anti a notch and this third one is an absolute winner on so many levels!!!!

If you love strong female leads along with hunky, strong but gentle heroes then look no further!! Kaylea can certainly conjure up the most appealing men and women in her stories and place them with amazing detail in seriously addictive situations. The research necessary to make these books believable must be gigantic, you feel that Kaylea herself must have been in the forces herself to describe situations and using language that only a military personel would use.

I love all of her series, the Titanium series, The Suspense series and especially these military Bagram Special Ops series and can't wait for the newest one Danger CLose coming out at the end of this month, so any day now. Yippeeee!!

Some of the best books I have ever read, in any genre!! I would highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys a good read with the above mentioned characters !! Enjoy !!
