Reviews for Immortal Ops

Silver Star Award: I feel Immortal Ops deserves a Silver Star Award as this book was so flawlessly written with elements of intrigue, suspense and some scorchingly hot scenes between Peren and Lukian, I simply couldn’t put it down. I can’t recommend this enthralling book enough; it won me over from the very beginning and I know I’ll be re-reading Immortal Ops many times over. Both Peren and Lukian shine throughout this story and the secondary characters are so interesting that you want a book dedicated to each of them. I look forward to reading more of Ms Roth’s work.--Aggie Tsirikas--Just Erotic Romance Reviews

5 Stars--Immortal Ops is a fascinating short story. The characters just seem to jump out at you, Ms. Roth wrote the main and secondary characters with such depth of emotions and heart felt compassion I found myself really caring for them. As you read this story you’ll find the plot thickens as you turn the pages....HOT! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this paranormal story and look forward to reading some of Ms. Roth’s other books.--Susan Holly--Just Erotic Romance Reviews

4 Stars --I liked the idea of weres and how they are created, and the book definitely kept me reading until I was done. The sex in the book is great, with lots of passion and creativity in the many scenes. I would certainly recommend giving this book a try, and I will be on the look out for more from this talented author. Julie Bryan--Just Erotic Romance Reviews

IMMORTAL OPS was an enjoyable, erotic, paranormal romance which had an intriguing premise and was, at times, gritty and intense. It was about one of my favorite types of creatures-- werecreatures. Lukian is surprised to finally meet his mate and is unsure how to reveal himself to her. Paren and her friends are caught up in a situation that they don't understand, but Paren finds strength in the end. All in all, IMMORTAL OPS was an intense, erotic, werewolf romance, that I highly recommend. I can't wait to read the stories of the rest of the team. Reviewed by Marlene Breakfield

Ms. Roth had created an intriguing hybrid in Peren, and a worthy mate in Lukian. Both are inclined to follow their hearts, and to do the right thing by one another. I was charmed by Peren's spunk and resilience in the face of mythic creatures and the revelations about herself.

The chemistry between Peren and Lukian is enough to melt the paint off my walls and hot enough to ignite anything else! Ms. Roth has memorable characters and a setting that's hinting at more than just Lukian and Peren's tale.

Immortal Ops packs the action of a Hollywood thriller with the smoldering heat that readers can expect from Ms. Roth. Put it on your hot list…and keep it there!

5 Stars--With the release of her third paranormal book, Mandy Roth has established herself as a master of creating supernatural beings. Her characters are so realistic, I find myself wondering about the fine line between fact and fiction...This was one captivating tale that I did not want to end. Thankfully, there are more stories in the future about the other members of this engaging team. Ms. Roth has written a moving and complex love story with grand style. Lukian and Peren’s intense feelings are so well described, I could almost sense them myself. Their love scenes were fervent with an underlying tenderness. Just the right touch of humor endeared these characters to me even more.--Amelia Richard, eCataRomance Reviews

5 Hearts- I loved this book and couldn't put it down until I finished it. Lukian is the ultimate alpha male and will make any female's toes curl. His intense sensual animalistic nature will have you squirming in your seat. Peren is also very strong willed and determined to give as good as she gets where Lukian is concerned. This couple produces instant heat when they come together and the sex is ultra hot. This is the first book I have read by Mandy M. Roth, but after this one I will definitely be on the lookout for more of her work and hope another werewolf adventure is in the works.--Angel Brewer-The Romance Studio

5 steamy cups of coffee--

Combining the world of secret government operations with mythical creatures as if they were an everyday thing, she (Ms. Roth) then has the audacity to make you actually believe it and wonder if there could be some truth to it. I know I did. Nora Roberts once told me that there are some people who are good writers and some who are good storytellers, but the best is a combination of both and I believe Ms. Roth is just that. Mandy Roth never fails to surpass herself. Just when you think she couldn't possibly think of anything better than her last story, she surprises you and comes up with another. If IMMORTAL OPS is a preview of what is to come in the series, it is on my auto-buy list. No question. --Cheryl, Reviewer--coffeetimeromance

This story is HOT! The attention to detail is riveting as is the depth of the characters. I won't give you the rest of the story, but Mandy Roth kicks ass in this story. I've loved her site and I've been waiting until the right time to read Immortal Ops. Now I have and I need more. If you want a unique story that pieces many paranormal elements together seamlessly and gives you a satisfying hot conclusion, Immortal Ops is the book for you.

5 Angels, Mandy M Roth has created a wonderful follow up story to Immortal Ops with a plot filled with many twists and turns. The characters are both written wonderfully and compliment each other as well as provide readers a sense of compassion and strength. Roi is a head strong Alpha male that has met his match in Missy. If Missy were of the same DNA strand as Roi, she would indeed be an Alpha female. The passion between the two is electrifying and tantalizing. Missy is driven to protect everyone she cares for even at the cost of herself. She is truly a fearless fighter, yet terrified at the thought of loving a man like Roi. Roi and Missy’s display of emotions and passion rewards readers with one smile after another in the midst of danger and intrigue.

I enjoyed this story tremendously. Although, I have read the first story in the Immortal Ops series, this story could very well stand on its own merit. It provided reader with a great deal of background that will instantly draw them in, yet, would not spoil the fun of returning to read the first installment. The chemistry that plays out between Missy and Roi was fun to watch. There is nothing as satisfying as watching a self-proclaimed playboy try to withstand succumbing to a woman half his size. My cheeks are still in pain from the big smile this story provided. Immortal Ops 2: Critical Intelligence is a perfect mix of paranormal and romance that is definitely worth reading more than once. I only hope that there is another story in the works. There are definitely more characters that are just waiting to have their story told. Mandy M. Roth has given readers a beautifully written story and earned 5 Angels in the process! --Fallen Angels Reviews--Reviewed by: Jessica

5 Roses~It seems Benjamin Parker, an ex I-OP, is not out of their lives after all. His depravity is being carried on through one Gisbert Krauss, a genetic scientist working underground to create super-humans. Krauss experimented on women and children as well as men. Those children were dispersed throughout Asia when Immortal Ops came too close to exposing the covert program. Now, years later, those children have become adults. The threat of a multitude of Parker replicas is a real and present danger to the world. Missy is a target and Roi will do everything within and beyond his power to keep her safe.

As always Ms. Roth has provided her fans with an erotic page-turner that leaves the reader breathless and craving more. I wondered if this second Immortal Ops novel could surpass the enjoyment of the first and was delighted to find that it did. Immortal Ops: Critical Intelligence has it all: Passion, drama, heart-stopping action, and humor to keep it all in balance. Ms. Roth has found the perfect formula to keep readers spellbound. Her books are fast becoming as addictive as chocolate. ~A Romance Review ~ Rho.

CRITICAL INTELLIGENCE is hopping from the very beginning. I-Ops features a group of men who carry more than just human DNA in their body. Part Lycan, Roi is alpha male at its best, and when he discovers Missy is his mate, Roi can barely control the wolf who wants to claim her...now! Several interesting facts are revealed that shed some light on Roi and Missy's relationship. And boy, is it one helluva ride with these two. Even though she's a tiny woman, Missy packs a punch that has grown men groaning in pain. I don't want to give too much away, so let me just say that Missy is a perfect match for Roi in every way. The story moves steadily, and the twists and turns will keep you turning page after page, anxious to see the outcome. Secondary characters include Missy's friends, Melanie and Peren (see IMMORTAL OPS), plus other members of the I-Ops team. We get a glimpse of these handsome yet deadly men and learn another piece to the intricate puzzle that makes them who and what they are. Another interesting character that I just have to mention is Eaden, Melanie's brother. Tall, blonde, and more than enough man for any woman, Eaden also has a secret or two up his sleeve, and boy are they doozies.

When you open up CRITICAL INTELLIGENCE, you'll see that Ms. Roth continues to enthrall readers with her sexy as sin heroes and tough as nails heroines. Danger, emotional upheaval, and spicy sex are all intricately woven into the storyline of CRITICAL INTELLIGENCE making it an intoxicating read.~ Sinclair Reid, Romance Reviews Today

5 Hearts~

For the reader, this story will be a ride into the paranormal, with characters bigger than life, who are raunchy, gritty and tough! This reviewer found this story exhilarating and breathtaking. It reads like an episode out of a science fiction horror movie with some bouts of hot sex between the hero and heroine. Not for the faint hearted, this is a bold story with lots of action. Ms. Roth writes multi-dimensional characters that reach out to the reader. Roi and Missy are both independent, tough-as-nails people, who are also vulnerable in their own way. This reviewer enjoyed the ‘play’ between them, and watching these two spectacular characters discover the love that shimmered between them. The world-building and descriptions of technical stuff was not over done, but enough so that the reader could follow along. This reviewer is looking forward to more stories for the Immortal Ops team and will be first in line to snatch them up to devour them.~ Valerie, Love Romances

4.5 Stars~ Immortal Ops: Critical Intelligence is a fast, furious, fabulous read. Missy and Roi rub each other the wrong way the first time they meet but each of them seem to be unwillingly attracted to each other. Missy is so deeply undercover that she knows no one will believe her. She wants Roi but can’t reconcile with his “Playboy Roi” attitude about women. Roi suffers from foot-in-mouth disease and pisses Missy off as much as he turns her on. He’s not sure who or even what she is, but that doesn’t matter to his inner beast, who just wants to claim his mate. Their interactions are explosive and I truly enjoyed them. As the second in the Immortal Ops series, Critical Intelligence is a stand alone story, but you would definitely benefit from reading the first book. There is a lot of back story which can become confusing. I enjoyed this action-packed paranormal story of a sexy, smart and strong woman and her struggle to find the truth about herself and her mate. I look forward to more in this superb series. ~ Trang Black, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

4.5 HEARTS~

The second book in the Immortal Ops series, this book tells the story of Missy and Roi, two extraordinary people with very interesting talents who figure out that they belong together, but must first figure out who's trying to get rid of the Immortal Ops team. The love scenes are passionate with an animalistic flare. I recommend that readers read the first book in the series to get some background information, but it is not necessary to understand the second book. Mandy M. Roth has done a wonderful job creating characters that readers will love and I can't wait to see what she has in store for the next book in the Immortal Ops series. ~Angel Brewer, The Romance Studio
