Explosive Encounter (Task Force 779 Book 2) Kindle Edition

by KL Donn (Author), Alluring Write Productions (Illustrator), KA Matthews (Editor), Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (153)

From USA Today Bestselling author KL Donn comes Explosive Encounter, book 2 in her military romance series, Task Force 779.

Foster Halsey has been burned by life, by love.

Recruited to the Task Force 779 elite team after a nasty divorce, Foster only wants to serve his country. He has no interest in anything except the art of explosives and saving lives. After nearly losing a team mate, and witnessing the pain his family went through, Foster is more determined than ever to remain unattached.

Until a mission sends his team to Mexico to rescue the estranged daughter of a CIA official.

Their attraction is explosive.

But she’s been burned worse than him.

Everett Gaines was searching for answers.

After finishing college, Everett only wanted some R&R after a troubling discovery. She wanted to lay back on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta and enjoy some time alone. Life has a way of kicking her when she’s already down though and soon she becomes the victim of a kidnapping.

Acts so violent and gruesome that she never imagined are forced upon her until a savior explodes through her prison door. After a failed escape, Foster vows to protect her at all costs. With risk to his own life, Everett see’s something in the solitary man.

A longing to be someone’s everything at a time when she needs him most.

One Explosive Encounter leaves them breathless and Foster wants more.

But Everett pushes him away. Refusing to hear him out and why they could be more.

Foster won’t let go though and when sinister forces come rushing back, Everett is forced to rely on Task Force 779 to keep her safe.

After the pain ends and secrets come to light, will Everett still be alive to make the choice her heart desire’s or will Foster be left an empty shell from a lost love?

    Foster Halsey is a man who has been burned and just wants to live life and stay single. After coming home from his deployment and getting a divorce, he is recruited to the Task Force 779 elite team. His life is now filled with missions that are decided by the President of the United States and his team takes on the cases that are the most dangerous, could impact the US, and are of the most secretive subjects at times. This rescue mission was a tough one, but the woman he found in that room brought out his protective instincts in full force. He willingly stands up to a man that thinks he has all the power, but in reality, he’s a nobody.

    Everett Gaines wants to get away from her life after she graduates from college and finds that her life as she knew it is not real. She wants answers, but she’s afraid that she won’t get the answers she wants or deserves. Could her whole life have been a lie? Her “father” was never around, nor did he really seem to be interested in her while she was growing up. While she gets away from everything for a little while, she finds herself in a situation that may kill her. If it weren’t for Task Force 779 rescuing her, that might have been the case. She’s back home and too afraid to live on her own anymore, so she moved back in with her mom. The only man that she feels safe with and that can get anywhere near her is one of the men that put his life on the line to save her, Foster Halsey. She feels awful that Foster and his teammate put themselves in harm’s way to saver her.

    I loved this story. It was tragic, suspenseful, full of action, twists and turns, and some sexy men who are honorable, loyal, and very Alpha. I give this story a 5-star review and cannot wait for more in the series. If you are a reader and lover of military, suspense, or sexy Alpha’s you will love this story and the series, and I highly recommend it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A well-written, action-packed and intense story

    Explosive Encounter” is book two in the ‘Task Force 779’ series by K. L. Donn, and it’s a nail-biter. The books in this series center around members of a secret special OPS team that reports directly to the President of the United States. You don’t need to have read the first book in the series (which was also very good, by the way), in order to enjoy this one.

    Foster is the explosives expert on the team, and he is nicknamed Chaos, which describes what he causes with his explosions as well as his disastrous divorce from his ex-wife. He’s more than content to remain single and devote his life to serving his country. Everett is the daughter of a highly ranked official in the CIA. She’s a recent college graduate, trying to sort through complicated emotions about her parents and her personal life. The plot in this book is incredibly intense, and I don’t want to give any spoilers that might lessen its impact, but the book blurb itself lets you know that she gets kidnapped so I’m not spilling the beans when I mention that. Her kidnapping and brutal captivity is the event that introduces her to Foster and kicks off a chain of events that will permanently change both of their lives. As events unfolded, I found myself pulled through the story because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I’ll confess I sent three calls to voicemail because I didn’t want to interrupt my reading!

    The excellent main and secondary characters are the driving force that makes this story come to life and makes the shocking moments more viscerally powerful. The twists in the story were nicely done. Be advised that you might want to have a tissue handy when you read this book, unless you want to wipe your eyes surreptitiously on your sleeve. The ending is fantastic and I hope there will be glimpses of Foster and Everett in future books in the series.

    Met Foster and Everett in book 1, and let me just say, they are explosive for sure. Everett was drowning after what happened to her, she felt like she was not worthy of love and peace. But in comes in Foster, the hero, the guy who took one look and fall flat on his bum over Everett. He knew she was his but he had to give her time and space. I love how those two are so explosive with each other, they have that push and pull, the raw passion keeps them coming back. I've had this series for a while and I can't for the life of me believe it took me so long to read it, the book is beyond amazing.

    Trust KL Donn to come up with another story that will surely keep you turning the pages in one sitting, not because it’s a short story, but because you will be hard-pressed to put down such a compelling plot!

    Foster Halsey, Task Force 779’s bomb expert, and Everett Gaines, estranged daughter of a CIA official who was kidnapped while on vacation in Mexico, are the central characters in this story. We also see Foster’s other Task Force 779 team mates plus two more that, hopefully, we will get to meet soon, because, take it from me, once you take a bite of a KL Donn story, you won’t let go!

    Why, you ask? This author, like a few that I have fallen in love with, takes on real-world situations that most often are shunned by society. Yes, some of you might say that her stories are a bit over-the-top, but that is an author’s prerogative, right? For me, for as long as an author I follow is able to lead me to the meaning behind his or her stories, then I don’t mind if a little bit of liberty is taken in certain situations.

    Take Everett’s case. Who is to say the situation she found herself in, is not real? The trauma, how she responded? The way that KL Donn treated her heroine, to me, felt like she was being careful this time, compared to Ryder and Codie’s story in Missing in Action (Task Force 779, Book 1). Nonetheless, Everett’s story is no less compelling.

    Now let’s talk about Foster. Burned by a cheating ex—ahem, I love KL’s word for her, Cheatasaurus Rex—Foster is focused only on his team mates and saving lives. Until, of course, he meets Everett. I am glad that KL Donn gave this alpha hero more human character, one who can make mistakes and own up to them.

    And yes, if I can hogtie Foster to the bed and claim him as mine, I would!

    So, what are you waiting for? One-click already!

    I'm going to start this review by stating that it has taken me a couple of days to be able to process my thoughts and feelings adequately enough to be able to write my review on Explosive Encounter.

    I have read all of KL Donn's books, I adore her as an author, and love all her books. However, seeing how this series is unfolding blows my mind. This series is on a whole new playing field. My mind has been blown, my heart has been crushed and put back together seeing how these stories unfold.

    Explosive Encounter left me in a book hangover. I cried, I laughed and I fell in love with both Everett and Foster. Their story goes beyond the depths of love, it depicted violence, angst, pain and raw emotion. You can't help but turn the page to see what would happen next, would Everett be okay? Would Foster be able to love again? And more importantly what unexpected events would unfold to bring this story to a close.

    I was unable to put this book down, I devoured it because the rawness of it consumed me. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

    I couldn't put this book down I was hooked from the first page. Evie was such a strong woman after everything she went through which will break your heart from the beginning. Foster was amazing even if at times I wanted to slap him myself. This book will send you through every emotion possible and of course there is danger intrigue and lots of explosives. I especially loved it when the whole team where together they will definitely have you laughing out loud. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
