When he was in the Special Forces in Kabul, Lieutenant
Jayson Harmon was hit in the back by a grenade, and
fifteen months later, he still has a slight limp and his
back still pains him. Thanks to some friends, he works at
the DCO -- the Department of Covert Operations -- but he is
a shadow of his former self. Jayson still hasn't told his
girlfriend of several months, catshifter Layla Halliwell,
that he loves her, because how could she love a broken
man? If only he knew! Layla remains mute on the subject
because she fears he doesn't feel as much for her as she
does for him; Jayson has been so cold the past few
months. Just as he is at the end of his rope, the DCO
Deputy Director makes Jayson a most unusual offer and
Jayson gets a chance to go on a mission, even though his
partner is someone he despises. But upon hearing that
Jayson has been sent in the field, Layla, who is a
psychologist and not adequately trained, secretly goes
after him because she knows Jayson is in grave danger!
No matter how great the previous book was, Paige Tyler
always manages to surpass herself when it comes to the
brilliant X-Ops series! However the dazzling HER
ROGUE ALPHA could be a bit daunting for a newcomer to
this series, as Ms. Tyler does not recap very much what
happened previously. There is a continuing story arc in
this series which is getting more exciting with each
book. HER ROGUE ALPHA features nearly non-stop heart-
pounding action, which takes place mostly in Washington
DC, but also in the Ukraine, as the villains extend their
tentacles further. As is the custom with Ms. Tyler, women
are just as heroic as the men, and Layla was a total
delight. The author did a superb job at making this
reader empathize with Jayson and Layla, and I loved how
their romance bloomed. Jayson had to face his demons and
Paige Tyler took care of that in a most wonderful
fashion. In contrast to the explosive action scenes, the
interactions between Layla and Jayson are very subtle and
the tone subdued and intimate; their romance was very
realistic and brought out the best in both of them.
While some issues have been dealt with, this fantastic
series is far from over, as some nefarious dealings are
brewing still, and I already cannot wait for the next
installments as two newly introduced characters, who both
appealed to me very much, will be featured, as well as a
personal favorite of mine. X-Ops for ever!
