Review:  Operation Fuego: PNR/Special Forces/Military MM Fiction (Operation Volcano Book 3  by Annabella Stone

Rating: 4.5 ๐ŸŒˆ

โ€œOPERATION VOLCANO IS BASED OFF THE OLD IRISH MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF FIONN AND THE FIANNA.

Magic, legends, and a brotherhood whoโ€™ve been waiting for their High King!โ€

Annabella Stone writes vividly and meticulously about those who have fought and brotherhood of soldiers, the tight loyalty of the unit and their commitment to each other in her many terrific military series.

But this is my favorite. Stoneโ€™s Operation Volcano series combines her Special Forces military forces storytelling with a mirror realm of mythological Irish warriors , two sets of believable soldiers and tight brotherhood of warriors who find their hearts love. Their Grรก Croรญ. One from each side who will battle for the other.

This is a military action story and these men, whether they are soldiers, snipers or a Hound of Fionn, see action on the battlefield. Guns and swords, teeth and bombs, bloody and realistic in its scope and its ability to convey the sounds and chaos of battle. 

Reaper, Number four of the Special Forces unit, has been hiding a deeply personal secret, one that has scarred him physically and emotionally. An abusive relationship from his recent past. 

So during his teamโ€™s stay in Tรญr na nร“g, when Hound of the High King of the Fianna, Cian Mac Dian Cecht, tells Reaper that heโ€™s his Grรก Croรญ, or fated mate, thatโ€™s the last thing Reaper wants to hear. 

All the ways these two come together, the struggles, the respect, and the long journey to love is such an amazing read. It includes battles, naturally, a new paranormal aspect for Reaper that I hope is more fully explored in the future, and hints for the next couple coming forward.

Itโ€™s richly told, full of fantastic details, especially in the great halls of Fionn, when the the smells of venison hangs heavy over the whole room, the sounds of music and the drums send the blood rushing, and the reader is transported into another world. 

Just incredible.

Donโ€™t miss out on the Irish Guide and the information the author has on the characters and series at the beginning.

A fantastic book, grand series and one Iโ€™m highly excited to recommend.

A warrior from the past. A SEAL running from his. And a bond that can destroy them both.

US Navy SEAL Michael โ€œReaperโ€ Rodriguez has faced down terrorists, survived ambushes, and cheated death more times than he can count, but nothing prepared him for the ancient warrior who just declared him his fated mate.

Hound of the High King of the Fianna, Cian Mac Dian Cecht, has been waiting centuries to find his Grรก Croรญ. Now that heโ€™s found him, he isnโ€™t about to let a little thing like Reaperโ€™s stubbornness stand in his way.

โ€œOur courting will become the songs of the bards and the legends of the Seanchaรญ.โ€

With the full moon just days away, Reaper and Cian must navigate a minefield of ancient grudges, modern threats, and their own damn pride.

The clock is ticking.

โ€œYou can fight it all you want. But youโ€™ll lose, or we will both die when the full moon comes.โ€ 

Reaper doesnโ€™t believe in fate, and Cian doesnโ€™t do rejection, but when their worlds collideโ€”one steeped in modern warfare, the other in myth, legends, and magicโ€”their connection becomes a battleground neither wants to escape.

Magic, Legends, and the bond of the Grรก Croรญ.
