Fast Vengeance is the 7th book in the DEA Fast series. I love all the books in the DEA Fast. Kaylea Cross is one of my favorite romantic suspense authors. I have yet to read something written by her that I didn't enjoy. There is plenty of action, suspense, and overall a great storyline. I would recommend this to anyone who likes fast pace romance books, but definitely read the other 6 books in the series.

ARC copy provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

There is not much that can I can say that hasn't already been said. "Fast Vengeance" is a phenomenal read with many returning characters, but this is Brock and Victoria's story. There are so many great adjectives to describe the drama, action, and romance in their story, but no matter if this is your first read in the series or you have read them all, open to page one, and it will be hard to put down until the very last page is read. Each story is a standalone read and can be read that way, but be forewarned, it will draw you in and if you have not read them all, you will want to go back and do so. A fantastic read, I received a copy of "Fast Vengeance" from NetGalley and leave my review based on my reading. 5 Stars!

Another great read by Ms. Cross. I love this series! In this book we actually get two stories in one! Finally the leader of FAST bravo finds his HEA, After seeing his brothers all find that special someone, Victoria Gomez becomes his special someone. Victoria, an investigative journalism, lost her entire family to the nefarious Veneno Cartel. After which she is abducted and abused by the same cartel. Brock finds and rescues her. After the rescue while Victoria is healing and getting stronger everyday, she develops strong feelings for Brock and a fragile relationship develops. Brock is aware that Victoria will eventually be sent to WITSEC and cannot fathom how he will go on, but things have a way of working out.
In the second part of story, we have quiet and strong, Gabe and Oceane. Gabe is tasked in protecting Oceane when she finds out the truth from her mother about her true parentage. Gabe was not at all happy about his assignment, no matter how temporary. He believed her to be a spoiled brat, but as he protects her, he realizes what a truly wonderful person she is. Their relationship blossoms and grows and Gabe get his HEA.
As per usual Ms. Cross doesn't disappoint. Her writing is solid and filled with action, suspense, murders, and secrets, I am never bored, Lol. Really enjoyed this story and I pray this is not the end!!! 4.5 solid stars*****

Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) provided by the Author and Publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. DEA Fast Bravo series is a good romantic-suspense series and this is the 7th book of the series. The team is a close brotherhood and is a large part of the success of the series. Victoria Rodriguez, a former investigator reporter had been through hell and back. She was held prisoner by the Veneno cartel, she was abused, tortured and suffered a great loss when her entire family was murdered in front her. But she no longer wants to be a victim, and wants to work with the team to bring down the Veneno cartel. Victoria and Brock are both survivors of horrible events and are drawn to each other. Brock will do any thing to protect Victoria, even though he knows she'll soon have to go into WITSEC and he will never see her again. As with all of Cross's books, the characters are well developed and intense, and the story moves along quickly. My only complaint would be the "love at first sight" storyline appears too frequently in Cross's stories, but it was enjoyable non-the-less.

Just finished and I'm so now kicking myself because I've had one of the books to this series on my kindle TBR and have never read it, now I want to read the rest of the series since I've read this one.Thanks Netgalley for letting mme read and review it in change for my honest opinion .

TW: rape, torture, gory stuff

I miss reading romantic suspense, so I decided to pick up this one (it's been way overdue as well!) and finished it in one sitting. What happened to Victoria was horrible and basically the worst thing that could happen to anyone. She was so strong to be able to pick up the pieces and move on, and I admire her grit and determination to move forward. Her relationship with Brock is my favourite thing about this book. It started slow--they were friends first, and the romance developed from there. I cheered when they finally got together, and then I felt sad because they had to part ways after. The pining was so good, though.

I also love the side plot of Gabe and Oceane, as well as the interactions between the members of the FAST Bravo team. I'm such a sucker for good banter, camaraderie and friendship. Luckily I still have books left in the series to read, so I can't wait to dive in!

Another action-packed read and a fantastic addition to the DEA series. I just loved Victoria she is such a great strong character you cannot help but feel for her she has been through so much but did not let it beat her. I just loved Brock he was just perfect for her and has been her friend and rock every since she was rescued if you have enjoyed the previous books in the series you are going to love Brock and Victoria's book.

"When it all comes down to it, moving on and finding happiness really is the best form of revenge."

The DEA FAST Series is a good, solid, action packed romantic-suspense series. It pulls a few punches, but a lot more land for devastating results. A lot of taboos get broken and that just makes this series more powerful. "Fast Vengeance" is a unique story in that the focus of the book is divided between two couples, but the overarching story of the deadly Veneno Cartel and the DEA's search for the head of the group ties everything together.

Victoria Gomez, an investigative journalist, watched her family die before being taken captive and brutally beaten and used. Almost a year later she still has the scars, both physically and psychologically, but she wants her life back and is working hard to reclaim that which the cartel took from her. Soon she will start that new life as part of WITSAC, but before that happens she wants to reclaim a part of her self and she needs FAST Bravo’s team leader, Brock Hamilton, in order to do that.

Brock Hamilton will never forget finding Victoria nude, battered and running for her life. The image is seared into his brain. When she comes to him with a proposition, he wants nothing more than to help in any way he can. He just hopes he can control his own emotions in order to do what she asks and needs.

Oceane Nieto was a Cartel Princess. Her father was a top leader and life was good until she discovered how the lavish lifestyle was funded. She and her mother defected and her mother was brutally murdered. Now Oceane has to make a decision that could put her back in her father's grasp and it could all go so badly.

DEA Operative, Gabe, has taken a special interest in Oceane and admires the bravery she has shown in leaving the Cartel and looking forward to a new life, even if that life doesn't include him. When Oceane is asked to do the unthinkable, he realizes that she means more to him than he ever realized.

I've read every book in this series, and I couldn't wait to get this one. Thankfully Net Galley provided an ARC so I could get my hands on it a bit early. Ever since reading the story of her rescue, I have been dying to get Victoria's story. Even in the last book, her close trusting relationship with Brock and his respectful gentle treatment of her just made me crave their story more. Without giving anything away, I will just say that they had a hard road to travel, but their story was everything I'd hoped for. I truly loved it.

I picked this up on a whim and even though it is #7 in the series, it absolutely stands alone! I haven't read the previous 6 stories and wasn't lost at all, although I'm sure I would probably have appreciated it even more had I started from the beginning of the series. The action starts right from the beginning with an intense prequel. It is hard not to admire a character like Victoria--she has been through so much and is now stronger than ever. Brock is definitely a swoon-worthy hero. I loved how he handled Victoria and her proposition, and I loved him even more by the end of the book. The subplot with Gage and Oceane was an added bonus! This is a fast-paced, high-energy story that I just couldn't put down. 4.5 stars!

*I received an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

Victoria watched her entire family be murdered on the orders of the cartel boss she exposed in her book. Then she was held captive in chains and abused repeatedly until she was rescued by FAST. The first member to find her was team leader Brock Hamilton. From that point on and during her time in WITSEC they developed a bond.

Brock admired Victoria's strength and he also had strong feelings for her. He was afraid to let her know just how strong since she had to leave soon as part of the WITSEC program. Then Brock was taken by the same cartel that had held Victoria captive. Could she help get Brock back and would they be able to have a future?

This romance suspense is another Kaylea Cross success. For lovers of the Hostage Rescue Team Series, this one is just as good. Two couples are featured in this book, which centers around the continuation of a drug cartel out of Mexico. The main female was kidnapped an tortured by them, while the other female protagonist was unknowingly the daughter of one the higher ups in the cartel.
Both woman of course have caught the eye of DEA team members and this story takes them on a journey to find their strength with the help of each other as well as by themselves because they are both brave and strong women.
This story is a faced paced romance that is full of suspense that Kaylea is so good at, as well as hope and strength. Not a lot of stories have women in them that are just as strong as the men and it is so refreshing when you find one. This book gives the reader a team full of men that risk there lives every mission and the women in their lives that can be just as strong an support them when they need someone to lean on. What more can someone as for?

Another wonderfully adventurous FAST novel from Ms Cross. The action packed and heart tugging story-line is fast paced and pulls the reader through the intrigue and emotion until you need to turn the pages – as though your life depends on continuing.
Anyone familiar with Ms Cross’ work will be familiar with her amazing creativity and this book is as expected. Superiorly written characters are supported through a detailed and, clearly, thoroughly researched backdrop. I would suggest the book is read as part of the series, as references are made that refer to earlier books, however it is a definite must read for anyone who reads from the wide variety of genres touched upon – including; romance, intrigue, adventure…

Victoria wrote a book exposing a dangerous drug cartel. Her family is killed in front of her, she’s kidnapped and brutally raped. She escapes and the FAST Bravo team finds her in the woods and rescues her. Brock is Capn of FAST team and stays with her while they check her out in the hospital. She starts to recover and before they put her in WITSEC, she wants to have a normal relationship with a man, Brock. He is more than happy to help but she still has flashbacks. He finds a way to help her gain control and the sex is phenomenal.
They have a lead on one of the drug cartels and must leave at once. While down in Mexico, Brock gets taken in exchange for the mans daughter. He is beaten and tortured before they can get to him. Victoria is sent with them to Mexico to see if she can identify any of the men who had her. Once Brock is rescued, he knows it’s a matter of days before they ship Victoria to her new home. Will he give up everything to be with the woman he has fallen in love with?
Great characters, story flows smoothly and a couple of sexy scenes. Action, mystery and really bad guys. Will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I am so in love with this series!! Kaylea Cross writes awesome romantic suspense books. I was glued to this book until the end. I loved the twists and turns! The romance was swoon-worthy, and the story was captivating!

Wow ,Such a Good story. I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of Fast Vengeance by Kaylea Cross. I have to say what a fantastic story from start to finish. Such suspense, it has you on the very edge of your seat. Action packed makes your heart beat alittle faster and gets your blood pumping faster. Great characters, from strong alpha hero's like Brock and Gabe , to strong women like Victoria and Oceane .Your heart will just break for Oceane and especially for Victoria but the strength they show and how they overcome the horrors that befell them . This story is so we'll written it makes you feel like you are right there with everyone. I highly recommend reading this story . A must read.

The seventh book in Kaylea Cross' DEA FAST series is Fast Vengeance. The name fits it to a T since this is a fast action, emotional read. Brock Hamilton and Victoria Gomez met in horrendous circumstances when he helped rescue her from cartel captivity. This happened before this story begins. Now Victoria is determined to continue to see justice done.

The connection between Victoria and Brock is strong even if both chose to ignore. Seeing the two of them work through this is a beautiful thing. There is also a subplot romance that is also a delight. However, it is the coming justice that makes this such a gripping read. There is determination to bring down the cartel once with vengeance, as well as personal sacrifice and love.

Kaylea Cross is one of the best suspense writers of today, never sacrificing the story for the sake of romance. Instead the romance is an integral and logical part of the story. I can highly recommend Fast Vengeance.

Book that will grip you and make you read all the previous books from the series and waiting impatiently for the next one.
This is my first K. Cross books and it won't be my last... it is brilliantly written, with great characters that keeps you interested In their story.
Their first meeting is when Cap (Brock) saved Victoria from the drug cartel and she trusted him with her fear of trying to be with another man after all the torture and raping that cartel people did to her.
Brock later was kidnaped by the cartel to be used for exchange for Oceane, another character that I hope we are going to read as a next instalment in the series. Victoria is helping to save him and to see everything that happened next, you have to read the book by yourself, i'm not going to tell you spoilers even if you torture me...oh yeah, there is HEA, I think that is enough, right?

Intense. Suspenseful. Emotional. What a great book! I loved it! Great read. I can’t get enough of this series.

Superb!

This story was emotional and beautiful. It was also had heart pounding suspense and action. I couldn't put it down!
