Disruptive Force: A Romantic Suspense Novel

A heart-pounding conclusion to a great series! I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. The writing for all of the books has been great and Disruptive Force is no exception. Elle James kept me on the edge of my seat, and dangled a few red herrings along the way, until the unanswered questions we've had throughout the series were resolved. The books in this series can each be read as stand-alone stories but I really recommend reading the series in order so that you really get to know each of the characters who appear in all of the books. Each book focuses on the romance for one couple but the group that makes up Declan's Defenders appear in all of the books. The terrorist organization know as Trinity is finally exposed thanks in part to the efforts of C.J. Grainger. She was stolen from foster care at a young age and forced to train to become an assassin for Trinity. She is now being hunted by them because she refused to carry out her last assignment. Cole is one of Declan's Defenders and he wants to help C.J. but he has to get her to trust him first. She's getting tired of being on her own and the appeal of having someone to watch her back is getting harder and harder to resist. Like most stories of this length, the romance happens quickly but I was very satisfied with how all of the mysteries surrounding Trinity were finally revealed and resolved. While there is technically no epilogue (one of my favorite things), Chapter Fourteen takes place some time after the main story has concluded and final tidbits about the Defenders are revealed. Kudos to Elle James for a writing a very captivating series that held my attention from start to finish. An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

Disruptive Force is another exciting romantic suspense by Elle James. Ms. James has once again delivered a well-written book populated with a stellar cast of characters. CJ escaped the Trinity organization when she drew a bullseye on her back by not killing a target. Cole is a member of Declan's Defenders and his mission is to protect CJ until Trinity is brought down. Cole and CJ's story is packed with drama, humor, sexy bits, action and suspense. I loved this story and look forward to my next book by Elle James. Disruptive Force is book 6 in the Declan's Defenders Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger. I read a print copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Amazing conclusion to Declan's Defenders. CJ was trained as a child to be an assassin by the mysterious Trinity group. After refusing to finish an assignment, CJ is on the run. Calling Declan's Defender member Cole for help to stop the killing of government officials by Trinity assassins. CJ has to trust Cole. Murder, mystery, secrets and falling in love. No cliffhanger, standalone but great series. I voluntarily received this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.
