Delta: Rescue: A MacKenzie Family Novella Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 680 ratings

From Liliana Hart's New York Times best-selling MacKenzie family comes a new story by New York Times best-selling author Cristin Harber....

When Luke Brenner takes an off-the-books job on the MacKenzie-Delta joint task force, he has one goal: shut down sex traffickers on his personal hunt for retribution. This operation brings him closer than he's ever been to avenge his first love, who was taken, sold, and likely dead.

Madeleine Mercier is the daughter of an infamous cartel conglomerate. Their family bleeds money, they sell pleasure, they sell people. She knows no other life, sees no escape, except for one. Maddy is the only person who can take down Papa when every branch of law enforcement in every country is on her father's payroll.

It's evil. To want to ruin, to murder her family. But that's what she is. Ruined for a life outside of destroying her father. She can't feel arousal. Has never been kissed. Never felt anything other than disgust for the world that she perpetuates. Until she clashes with a possible mercenary who gives her hope.

The hunter versus the virgin. The predator and his prey. When forced together, can enemies resist the urge to run away or destroy one another?

    Delta: Rescue (A MacKenzie Family Novella)
    By Cristin Harber
    Review by: Candace Fox
    Genre: Contemporary Romance
    5 Candi Kisses.
    NO SPOILERS
    This is my first book by this Author, and what a ride. This story is a little darker than the others in this new series, but I like it. And you get a hell of a lot of Cade time too as a bonus.
    The H/h both have demons to exorcise and neither feels they are worth all the trouble.
    When Luke see’s Maddy for the first time, something inside him shifts and curiosity is at its highest in like forever. What is it about her that he can’t shake?
    Maddie is a reluctant Mafia Princess, her only wish is to take down Daddy for his sins, his bad, bad sins. She was raised and reared in crime and the sex trade, but has a heart and wants to take Daddy down, by killing him.
    Luke doesn’t want her to scar her soul in such a way so he help her come up with a way to dispose of Daddy and her demons.
    Great read and did I mention you get lots of Cade in this edition of the Mackenzie Family.

    Wow what a hot couple. They have one hell of a connection. Luke is on sexy man. He sees what he wants and goes after it. Maddy is one strong woman. She has never felt any love until Luke. Could not wait to see where the story would go.

    I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

    I love anything and everything written by Cristin Harber! I fell in love with her Titan series and my love just grew from there! Delta is a branch of Titan, which is just another means for bada$$ Alphas and I totally approve!

    Luke is driven by his past to hunt down the responsible parties for kidnapping his girlfriend years ago, and Maddy is driven by her hatred of her father's illegal dealings and trafficking of girls. Brought together by circumstance, these two have instant chemistry and it's OFF THE CHARTS!

    Cristin Harber knows how to write action packed, scorching hot romance and once again with this novella she NAILS IT! If you've never read her books, stop what you're doing and #oneclick Winter's Heat right now! It's FREE and it's where all the awesomeness that is Titan and Delta begins!

    I am a huge Cristin Harber fan, so of course I just to get this book, even if it was linked to a different series. It is a standalone book, but if you have read the Titan, Only and Delta series as I have, you will see some of those characters appearing in the book.
    Overall, it was a great read. The characters and story were well developed and I just loved every freaking minute of it! It left me wishing there was more!

    Luke as one thing he wants. To take down as many human traffickers as he can because he needs retribution. His first love was taken by a cartel he has been hunting for years. When Delta team joins with the MacKenzie team he might finally get his answers. Maddy has a goal that she is working towards. It is not to take over for her father but to bring his company down. Luke must earn her trust if he wants her help. Maddy is a bad chick. I really liked her. Luke was an awesome hero as well, even with the fighting. I have read the other Delta books but none of the MacKenzie ones and was able to follow along perfectly. It is a stand alone so you don’t need read the Delta books to enjoy this one.

    Cristin Harber – Delta and MacKenzie Family Cross Over

    Since I read both Delta Series by Cristin Harber and the MacKenzie Family Series by Liliana Hart, this was a great read.

    The MacKenzie – Delta joint task force were working together to shut down sex traffickers. Luke Brenner from Delta Team had a personal interest in this mission. When he and his girlfriend were teenagers, she was kidnapped and sold into sex trafficking. He has been on his own mission to hunt down the cartel that was responsible and kill them all.

    On this mission he met the daughter of a cartel conglomerate, Madeleine Mercier. He wants to get close to her and use her for Intel for their mission. He knows that the Mercier cartel is into human trafficking and other illegal activities. There was one problem; he wanted to kill her father’s cartel and his family, at the same time he is so attracted to her that he has to work hard at not touching her.

    Madeleine (Maddy) knows no other life and doesn’t know how to get out from under her father’s thumb. But, what Luke doesn’t know is that she is not like her father, and her goal is to take down her father. Maddy is just as attracted to Luke as he is to her. The other thing that Luke isn’t aware of is that she has never been kissed and she was still a virgin. With all she has seen her father do, she has no feelings and doesn’t have any interest in sex. That is until Luke comes into her life. He has caused her desire and feelings for the first time. Is it even possible for Luke who is on the Law side and Maddy who is on the illegal side to have a happy ever after?

    Since this is a Novella so we miss the author’s ability to go into more depth but we see glimpses of the MacKenzie family and the Delta tem which is always a nice treat.

    Cristin Harber is on my read-it-when-it-comes-out list!! This was a shorter book, but so well-written & fast paced. I love a tough guy with a tender side & that is soooo Luke!! Loving the Delta series! Cristin's stories are never predictable -- tough subject matter here, but interesting way of attacking it.

    Wow this book has it all it maybe a novella but Cristin Harber doesn't hold back giving us what we love and so much more. The Delta Team have joined forces with Mackenzie Security to take down a sex trafficking ring but this job has a personal involvement for Delta's Luke Brenner he's exactly what we expect from our Delta men sexy, strong, loyal a little bit of a hot head but hey that just adds to the appeal.

    Maddy Mercier is the daughter of the head of this sex trafficking ring and has her own personal reasons for being involved, she's protective of the girls that have been taken only wanting the best for them but what happens when the Delta-Mackenzie team turn up at a handover.

    Well that's for you to go find out, I will say the fireworks are loud, the connections are intense and you'll definitely want to keep the pages turning. XX

    Reviewed in Australia on February 27, 2016
    If you are looking for awesome read of alpha men and strong women, then you need to read Delta: Rescue. In this novella we are introduced to Luke Brenner and Maddy Mercer and sparks fly immediately, as they try to outwit each other. It is a fast paced story that keeps you hooked.

    The Delta series is a spin-off of the original Titan series by Cristin Harber. Delta: Rescue is a stand-alone novella and there is no need to have read Delta: Retribution. However, it you are like me, you will eagerly want to read more more of the very talented Cristin Harber. I loved it.
