I love love love this series. It builds on past characters and really develops great storylines. I a little confused about the bad guys, could have used a bit more development there. Still really enjoyed the story.

Craig Simmons, a Navy SEAL, cannot wait to marry his fiancee, the beautiful and famous actress Sienna Blake. With needing to keep their relationship under wraps so he can keep his career, planning a wedding is not just challenging but seems to be impossible. Will the 5th wedding date planned actually happen or will it fall through like all the rest? With help from his squad, their wives, a presidential candidate, and more, they might just be able to pull it off.
This book is filled with action, mystery, and a presidential campaign. It definitely left me wanting the next book. This is one of my favorites of the series so far.
I love this series and seeing all the characters from previous books again was so much fun. If you haven't read this series, I highly recommend putting it on your TBR. They are such fun reads you won't be able to put down.

COVERT OPS by TRACI HUNTER ABRAMSON is an exciting political romantic suspense novel with three interwoven themes running through it.

They are determined to keep their engagement and wedding out of the public eye due to her fame and his dangerous employment. Having had to abort their wedding arrangements twice already, they are determined to make the third attempt work…
Senator James Whitmore is running for president and not only comes under false accusations from his opponent, but also has to keep replacing potential members of his cabinet who are being attacked one way or another….
The Saints Squad are sent from one hostage situation to another…..
I am not going to tell you any more as I do not want to spoil things for you.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Covenant Communications. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

Another epic tale from Traci Abramson!! The Saint squad has their work cut out for them in trying to pave the way for the presidential election, along with a side event they're sneaking in. It's so much fun to see all of our favorite characters again! I feel there were a couple of cliff hangers, so another book asap is what I'm hoping for!

4.5 stars
Wow! Another winner by Abramson. Covert Ops is the 12th book in Traci Hunter Abramson’s Saint Squad series. Abramson’s books are always enjoyable and I was really excited to get to read this one! The Saint Squad is back with another exciting adventure.
I loved reading about these characters again. I do need to read the other books because I am missing a bit of the backstory between the characters, but it was still good. The Saint Squad had the greatest chemistry and it was fun to read about them interacting. I was on the edge of my seat as they worked together to complete their mission and keep others safe.
I felt so bad for Craig and Sienna, they were trying so hard to make their wedding happen. However it was sweet to read about them trying to work through the obstacles that kept on popping up and fighting for their future together. Sienna and Craig were just wonderful characters and I was cheering them on.
The plot was engaging. I did not know how Sienna and Craig were going to figure out their wedding plans or how the Saint Squad was going to complete their missions. I also loved seeing the Whitmores and Jim’s campaign for President.
Covert Ops is a fun book. The characters are compelling and the story draws you in. I feel as if it had the perfect blend of suspense, romance, and action. I would recommend reading it as part of the series though because it would be more enjoyable. Covert Ops is a must read. It is a clean romantic suspense novel.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, a positive review was not required.

I love the Saint Squad books. This is Craig and Sienna's story. Craig and Sienna have had to postpone their wedding four times because of family or Craig's job with the Navy Seals. They are really hoping the fifth time's the charm. But with dangerous missions, making sure the paparazzi doesn't link Craig and Sienna and helping Jim Whitmore win the election for President of the United States it is going to take a few miracles. I loved this book it is action packed and thrilling the whole way through. I would definitely recommend this book and this series.

A wonderful, engaging read
This book brings together many characters you have come to care about or soon will care about. It starts out introducing the main players and subplots in the story and then weaves them together in each succeeding chapter, while the suspense builds. Sienna, a movie and now television star, and Craig, a Navy SEAL, want to marry but they must keep it private to protect Craig and allow them any privacy. Unfortunately, so far, they had to postpone the wedding four times because of missions, parent issues, and the paparazzi. Now with the help of Senator Whitmore, a Presidential candidate, and the wives from the members of the SEAL team the ceremony is scheduled for election day at the same location as the Whitmore day party thus allowing people to arrive without drawing suspicion. But before that can happen they must deal with a renegade drug lord looking to expand into arms, a leak in the SEAL command office, someone trying to stop future cabinet members from being able to take their posts, unexpected critical missions, and parents who can’t keep a secret. A great read you’ll really enjoy. Please note that even though this is part of a series, this book can be read as a standalone. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy. This is my review and all thoughts are my own.

This is a great addition to the Saint Squad series!! I am a fan of all books written by Abramson, and this new book in the series did not disappoint. It is full of action and intrigue with a little romance too! It was such a fun read. I really enjoyed getting to revisit some past beloved characters from earlier books. I highly recommend this book. It is one you don’t want to miss!

I've read all of the books in the Saint Squad series, beginning with the first book Undercurrents. Covert Ops is flled with a lot of characters from past books.

Sienna Blake is used to being in the spotlight with a career in television. With her impending marriage, she is hoping to stay out of the limelight. Her fiance is a member of the Saint Squad and a Navy Seal and needs to remain anonymous. Sienna and Craig have had to call off their wedding several times.
With things heating up out of the country, Craig is on missions to stop potential threats. In the middle of it all, Senetor Whitmore is on the campaign trail, trying to finish before the presidential election., and hoping to win. It seems like a never-ending process, and things happen to get in the way. This book was action packed and I really enjoyed it.

This cleverly title refers to three different covert operations happening in the novel. First, Navy Seals are on an intelligence gathering mission in Honduras. Second, Senator James Whitmore is leading the poles in his run for President of the United States, but someone is targeting his potential cabinet members. Third, actress Sienna is trying to secretly marry Petty Officer Craig Simmons without blowing his identity as a Seal. Sienna and Craig first met and fell in love in Spotlight (Saint Squad #9) by the author.

This is the twelfth book in the Saint Squad series which the author began in 2008. The books are usually stories following an elite team of Navy Seals and often including a romance for one of the members. This adventure is a little different as the couple are already in love and are trying to quietly get married. The Senator and others around him are also part of this series and a connected series called Undercurrents. I’m a fan of the series and was happy to be back with the team. (I have lost tract a little of the pairings of spouses/team members to books.) I know I will get quick, page turning action from Abramson. Three storylines is almost too much for a shorter novel. A last minute election scandal gets resolved in an unrealistic quick timeframe.

As always these books are clean for language and intimacy. There is military action with the Seals but nothing graphic. Religion is a part of the Seals lives including praying, seeking inspiration and attending church. No specific denomination is mention. I absolutely loved be back with the Saint Squad and catching up with Craig and Sienna. Usually I’d say these books can be read as a stand alon but in this case if you want romance beginnings I’d suggest pre-reading Spotlight. Thank you to NetGalley and Covenant Communications for the ARC in exchange for a review.
