I really liked this book. It is intense, interesting and funny at the same time. The story is great and I liked the romantic touch in it. It is a perfect combination of all of the above.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this ARC! I didn’t love the book and would prefer not to leave a bad review.

It’s my first book read by the author and apparently I need to read the first one as well as it carries on from where probably the first book finished.
It’s a good story, full of suspense and some turns that I didn’t see it coming, mixed with a bit of romance. Enjoyable read overall.

The second book picks up with Amber after her escape and wanting to hack and find out who is setting them all up. Meanwhile, the man responsible has put a hit out and one of the men taking the assignment is Jesse Cordova who when he spots Amber remembers her from years ago from a training exercise. He was attracted to her then and still is. Instead of killing her he changes his mind and tries to help her but it takes some time for her to understand what he is trying to do. She is used to working alone, and the training exercise from the past did not end as she planned. Now she has mixed emotions because she was programed not to have emotions, but finding her sister and also another Valkyrie is stirring up something inside of her and she does not know what it is. A good story with lots of action and some romance.

The second in the series, and the first one I read. Struggled a bit to read this one. Amber goes into enemy territory trying to find someone she thought was innocent. Jesse is a hitman, who is hired to kill her, but ends up falling for her instead. I liked the story enough to finish it, but did tend to skim a bit after awhile. Not sure why, but overall did not really grab me. Would still recommend if you like fast paced action and evil Russians.

Amber is on the hunt once more for the Valkyries who turned against their own, making her possibly complicit in taking out innocent Valkyries! She left her sister safely in England with her new love and her trusty friend. She wants answers and thinks she needs to be on her own to get them. Well her sister thinks otherwise and she sets Jesse Cordova on her tail.

For the first time ever Jesse is being asked to keep someone safe. An odd job for a formerly Government trained assassin. But when he was given the original job to take out Amber something didn't sit right with him. When he was offered a counter propposition tokeep her safe, he leapt at it. But hacker girl has game like he can not believe. She gives him a run for his money. His heart might not be that far behind!

Amber adn Jesse could have been too much together. Both big personalities, smart and dangerous. But thankfully they have vulnerabilities which enables you to see them as humans rather than just super-secret-agents who can kill without conscience. They managed to blend fun and sass into the action and adventure.

I would love to be part of the Valkyrie family! I am waiting with bated breath to see what happens to a former SAS soldier, now landed gentry gentleman (with a rocking Yorkshire accent) and a newly rescued Valkyrie!

Oh my gosh! I love this series! The Valkyries are back! Jesse is a hitman! He’s been offered 3 million dollars to bring in a woman alive. Her name is Amber! Amber has sworn to save a fellow Valkyrie that she is now unsure wether she is good or bad. Jesse keeps getting in the way, or is he? Can Jesse convince Amber that he is on her side and not just out for the money? Read the book if you love edge of the seat romance with danger involved!

I read this book as an arc from NetGalley

Continuing the series, it only gets better and better as Kaylea Cross gives each Valkryie an amazing story of redemption and love, and a chance for a future.

Covert Vengeance brings Amber Brown, a brilliant hacker and elite gun for hire Jesse Cordova, giving us an action packed read of betrayal and pain, loss and gain, family and friends, and a team of amazing people supporting each other with unconditional love and support.

A great continuation of the Vengeance series!

Excellent book! The action and romance are very well written and developed. I like the Valkaries, they were strong and it was nice getting away from a typical character. I do recommend reading the previous book first as some of the references would be confusing otherwise.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I was so looking forward to Amber's story when she first showed up in Megan's life after they both were told the other had died. And add Jesse to the mix and you have a hot, hot romantic suspense as they go to rescue another Valkyrie.

There are some twists in the story and you find out whether Hannah was innocent or guilty in Amber's being set up to take the fall for the rest of the group's robbery. Amber is constantly on the run as Zoya's lover has her in his sights to make her pay for his love's death.

We continue to see Megan and Ty, Georgia and Bautisa, and Adam and Trinity from previous books. I love how they work together and only want to save the missing Valkyrie women.

Looking forward to the next book in this series!!

Fast paced and fun read, great second book to the series, lots of drama and angst, wonderful characters and good writing.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

I am really getting invested in this series. The characters continue from book to book allowing the reader to really get to know them and feel their story. Amber intrigued me in book one and I loved her personal journey. Jesse is one of my favorite male characters I have read. The women in these books are strong, but the men have the strength to support them. As the team continues to search for their own, we get a lot of action, suspense, and plotlines that feel like there is something bigger at play that is being revealed at the perfect pace. The romance is steamy and sweet. This is what romantic suspense looks like. Highly recommend!

Intriguing

Good suspense, interesting characters and lots of drama but not my favorite Ms. Cross book. Didn’t flow was smoothly as the Fast or HRT series..

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

She's on a rescue of another Valkyrie who maybe innocent . While she's in the middle of things Jesse Cordova shows up to assist her . He tells her her sister sent him . Jesse is a for hire Hitman . There's a contract on Amber but he decides to help her instead . Amber doesn't trust easily .

This story is full of pulse pounding action , fantastic characters . It's intense and interesting all out fabulous . I could not put this story down . It is one of my new favorites . I'm looking forward to reading more in this series . I highly recommend taking the time to read this story and enjoy .

Covert Vengeance is the second instalment in Kaylea Cross` brand Vengeance series, I’m still undecided as to whether this will be a regular series I read. As with book one, the story has a multitude of suspense, drama and angst, but the female character portrayals resemble women with trust and commitment issues rather than strong, independent and self-assured warriors. I’m not prepared to write the series off just yet, and while this is strictly my personal opinion, I’m sure that the concept will appeal to many readers.

Book 2 in the series is action packed with characters who struggle with the knowledge they have and what they have do with it.
The story moves swiftly though the book with the perfect flow of action, romance, suspense and family who wanted to save each other.
Thank you to Netgalley and Kaylea Cross Covert Vengeance

Kaylea Cross has done it again! The second installment of the series, in my opinion, is better than the first. For that reason I am very excited for what is to come. Though he is the Male counterpart, Jesse wasn't a shared main character to Amber he was my favorite. I loved how he understood what Amber needed from him and completed Amber's strength. I can't wait for Chloe's so called crazy in "Explosive Vengeance".

This is the second book in this series about the Valkyrie orphaned girls taken by the government and turned into lethal warriors who will do whatever it takes to complete their mission

This is Amber's story she was a valkyrie but when she is betrayed she gets her own justice as an expert behind the keyboard but maybe one of the women she has targeted isn't guilty at all so she sets about saving her and answering some questions. Her and her fellow operatives will strive to save any of the women in their team that haven't turned In the process she meets Jesse Cordova and assassin set onto her trail but as he questions what he has been told about his target the two of them will work together to bring down the evil stalking the true valkyrie and in the process these woman who has never known love will find a love worth fighting for. Will Jesse and her finally get a HEA you will ned to read to see

Amber is a hacker Valkyrie and is looking for a woman who she may have accidentally sold her whereabouts to the enemy. Amber was on an op and the team double crossed her and left her to be captured. Now she’s determined to find the other Valkyrie women and get justice for them. Jesse is a hitman and takes a job, to either bring in or kill Amber. But he believes something is fishy so he calls a friend and finds out a little about her. They rescue another Valkyrie and take her with them to England, to meet up with the others and come up with a plan to take down the man who has a bounty on Amber’s head. Amber has always been alone but now Jesse has wormed his way into her heart.
A badass woman who is dangerous but more so on a computer. A man who kills but never innocent people. The sparks fly when they get together but can Amber let her walls down enough for Jesse to get through? Excellent story with action and sex. I love these books because I can get out of my head for a little while. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

This is my kind of romantic suspense! Amber is a kick-ass heroine with lots of layers. I love seeing who she becomes when around her sister and now with Jesse. And Jesse... he is great. Total book boyfriend material. I wouldn't have complained if there was a touch more focus on the romance, but the suspense makes up for that. There is lots of action and intrigue in this one right from the beginning. I also adored that scene towards the end with Megan and Tyler -- what a nail biter! Looking forward to #3!
