Stealth Ops #5
Finding the Way Back
Years ago, he chose duty over love. He's not sure if he can do it again.
Charlie "Knox" Bennett traded medical school for the Navy and never looked back. After almost eight years of working top-secret missions for the commander in chief, Knox's greatest regret is lying to his best friend. But when his father decides to make a run for the White House, and with the fate of his team resting in the hands of the future president . . . the truth threatens to come out.
Following in her mother's footsteps to serve and protect, Adriana Foster joined the Secret Service, never expecting one day she'd be assigned as detail to her best friend's father. After twenty years of keeping her true feelings hidden from Knox, will working together finally be what pushes them out of the friend-zone?
As Adriana and Knox track down the shooter who attempted to assassinate his father, they soon realize they're not the only ones who have been harboring secrets. With both his family and a teammate in grave danger--can Knox make the tough choice of putting everything on the line, even if that includes Adriana?
In what could be Knox's final mission, he may win the battle, but he could lose his heart.

"Ditto,"
Wow. Just bloody wow!!!
I know the Bravo team will probably pop up the Echo teams books but I'm sad that this was the last book in the series for Bravo team *cries*
But damn what an amazing adventure I was taken on. Those guys will each own a piece of my heart.
When I read Finding his Mark and I found out the muse for Knox was Shemar Moore I was already excited because he's just gorgeous. But finally reading his book I just absolutely loved it.
Adriana & Knox meet at a High school house party. She's the new girl and he likes her. After a creep tries it on he wants to sort it out but she can hold her own. Knox was impressed. He ends up checking on her and they start talking and then they become friends. After something tragic happens knox becomes best friends with Addy and wants to always protect her. *swoons*
I loved this book so much and the story was bloody fantastic.
We had the Bravo guys in the book(Big Guy ♡) and we also had the Echo guys too(I can't wait for their stories)
Seriously though how Brittney comes up with these stories... it's amazing. Each story from the Bravo guys was fab.
I was hooked and didnt want to stop. Brittney's books just holds you captivated the more you read. I loved it from start to finish.
I laughed out loud, said 'Oh come on you 2 sort yourselves out' a few times, swooned, had hand on the heart moments, shed a few sad & happy tears and giggled.
Brittney is bloody amazing and I love this story. Well done again xx

First I need more than 5 stars to give this book!!!!! This book was amazing. In my opinion, this is the best book in the series.
I felt a connection to both Knox and Adriana. Brittney Sahin wrote these two so beautifully. Knox, who knew that he had such a different side to him. Knox is my new book boyfriend 😍😍😍😍. Adriana was such a sweetheart, she's also strong and determined.
The build up , ohh my goodness, this build up was slow but so freaking good. There were moments when I felt like yes its gonna happen then nope not happening lol. Ohhh but there's definitely fireworks. These two are gonna leave you breathless🔥🔥🔥🔥
The action in this book felt real as well. Brittney has a knack with making the action scenes stand out. I don't want to add any spoilers in my review, so I'm limited here but I promise you, this book is a must read. I was smiling, laughing and I even got a little emotional with this book.
Brittney you have another hit!!! This needs to become a movie

A slow-burn friends-to-lovers read with all the action-packed suspense you could want from a military romance novel. Finding the Way Back has been my most anticipated release from Brittney Sahin since the moment we met Knox in the Stealth Ops series. As the son of a senator, and Presidential candidate, Knox knows what the spotlight is like, but he's avoided it for years both while he was in the Navy and now as a member of Scott and Scott Security. When an attack against his parents is attempted Knox knows he has to come out of the shadows and protect his family, despite their lack of support over the years. What he doesn't plan for is his best friend, Adriana, a Secret Service member to be there too, willingly putting herself in the line of fire. He's harbored love for Adriana for so long, since their first kiss as teens, but seeing her in action and watching her put herself into danger makes him finally realize he can't keep it a secret any longer. The opportunity to protect the Senator is one Adriana can't say no to, even if she'll have to put her feelings for Knox and his family to the side for a time. The threat against the Bennett family is serious though and as Knox's team and Secret Service are pulled into a deadly game of cat and mouse Knox and Adriana are forced to face their feelings.
"It was a way to keep her guard up, and he knew it. He hated it. And he wanted to tear it the hell down."
I have been dying for Knox's book, this man has been my favorite from day one. He's giving, honest, and has a good head on his shoulders, plus he's attractive just like all the Stealth Ops men. What I loved the most was how unselfish he has been, willingly putting himself into danger in order to protect his men and the women in their lives. Of course, he's also the obnoxious guy with a female best friend he's uber protective over, but we all knew that couldn't last. These two have smoking hot chemistry and I've just been biding my time, waiting for it to bubble over. Adriana is a tough as nails woman, having lost her mother at a young age and setting her sights on completing her mother's dream of being in the Secret Service. I love her determination, I am obsessed with their friendship, and I cannot get over how this slow burn romance EXPLODED on the pages.
"'Who the hell are you guys? And for real.' She could no longer hold back. After seven years, se needed answers."
Finding the Way Back is the slowest paced of Brittney's novel and yet the suspense and action is non-stop. I didn't even realize we hadn't gotten to the heat of their lust until halfway in, because I was so distracted by the fast-paced mission Knox and Adriana found themselves working together on. For me, this book was such a win, because we got to see a different side to all of the Stealth Ops team. Loyalty was such a big part of this book and watching the team fold Adriana into their own was just amazing, it was the key to unlocking Knox's future. However, it was impossible to predict if these two would finally get their happily ever after, that's how intense the action is. So many what ifs tumbled from my mouth while reading, but I can happily report that Brittney Sahin manages to mix the romance into the action and suspense perfectly. I got the book I dreamed of reading about and Knox, he's still my number one for sure, but now I'll willingly share him with Adriana.
"She matched his pace, but in truth, she was hanging on to the edge."
Brittney Sahin hits it out of the park again with Stealth Ops #5, Finding the Way Back. This series, its characters, have evolved and changed overtime and I love that Brittney found a way to make each book a standalone yet still tie in all the other characters. The Stealth Ops men are my favorite military characters ever and I happen to love Military Suspense reads, it's a high honor. This book, like the previous in the series, feels authentic and there's a perfect mix of mission and romance in the story. Add this well-written, engaging romance read to your list, trust me, it's a must.

Phenomenal! OMG is it possible this series gets better and better? I swear I don’t know how Brittney does but she is a true master.
Finding the way back is the fifth book in the Stealth Ops series and it never gets boring! Brittney Sahin adds so many layers to the plot you won’t have time to catch your breath that the next surprise will caught you of guards!
With every single book she writes, she keeps me on the edge of my seat until the last page!
Knox might be a team guy but he’s also the son of the potential next US president. After many years trying to avoid any political life, what happens lead him right into the action with no choice than to stick to his father.
Adrianna has one goal ever since her cop mom died: honoring her memory which meant being in the Secret Service.
As a SEAL guy, Knox struggles with hiding parts of his life from his best friend. But Adrianna is forced into his hidden life and all bets are off.
The tension between these two was killing me! It was all over the place. All I wanted was for them to cross the bridge and be together! Their connection was insane. They've known each other for so long you can feel the trust between them. It was incredible to share all their moments together. Knox was overprotective while Adrianna try to make him see how capable she was.
What I also loved was how all the Bravo and Echo team were together. It’s a bunch of guys and woman I grew to love. Some already had their story so it’s always exciting to see them evolve. It’s also incredible to feel the sense of belonging there is in the group. They stick together no matter what. There's a lot of respect in their lines of work and you can feel it through every page.
Finding The Way Back has all the actions and excitement you need to be your next favorite read. I wouldn't wait too long to read it if I were you.

Brittney Sahin does it once again!
Just when you think that you know every little thing about a character, she gives you another layer of humor, another layer of emotion, another layer of loyalty, another layer of charm, and another layer of magnetism. Charlie “Knox” Bennett has BRAVO and Adriana “Addy” Foster. Knox protects those who are important to him and he will always protect Addy. Adriana’s life is turned upside down the night she meets Charlie and they both grow up in each other’s lives from that moment on. Adriana is drawn to serve and to protect as her mother had as she begins her life as a Secret Service Agent.
Charlie and Addy light up this book with chemistry, loyalty, integrity, and love. Two hearts that have belonged to each other since the night that they met twenty years ago.
It’s MAGIC, the kind of magic that starts on page ONE and flows on until you reach the very last word. Intersperse that with all the characters that we love from BRAVO and add in ECHO and we’re off on a full-blown black ops mission. Charlie, Addy, and the TEAMS have to pool their resources to survive in order to save the country’s foundational premise of democracy. FTWB is balanced with intrigue, suspense, danger, and yes, that “scene” is HOT!!!!
I received an advance reader’s copy of Finding The Way Back, thank you Brittney for this wonderful opportunity!

Great installment of this series! Characters are relatable and this plot fits well with the theme of the series. Leaves you wanting more of Knox and Addy and the rest of Alpha and Bravo teams.

I was granted an ARC from the author for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Brittney is the official spec ops suspense queen. One click for life for me!
Brittney has slayed again! Seriously I don’t even know where to begin. I struggled to put this book down to do mundane things. I mean laundry, dishes, full time job and my god son can all wait! HAHA. No really they can wait for a little bit.
Finding the Way Back starts off with some back story of when Adriana “Addy” and Charlie “Knox” Bennett come together for the first time. Jump ahead 20 years later and not much has changed. They still have an amazing friendship and still keep each other in the friend zone. Addy is now a Secret Service Agent, still not knowing that Knox has not so secretly left being a SEAL behind. Knox finds out an assassination attempt happened on his dad, who is running for president. Worried that his dad will find out what he really does and keeping it a secret not only from his parents, but also from Addy is making him realize he doesn’t know how much longer he can lie about things.
How long can Knox keep his secret work life from Addy? Will it destroy their friendship? Will Addy be able to keep her job and keep her budding friend/loveship with Knox? Who the heck is really after the president? Could it be a TEAM member?
I loved this book. I didn’t know if Liam’s book could be topped, but yes it was topped. Liam and Knox are neck and neck in my book boyfriends that Brittney has written. Though I wonder after being introduced to Roman and AJ...they may be dethroned. I mean who doesn’t like Kenny Chesney!
The loyalty in this book was off the charts. Addy and Knox are super protective of one another and their loyalty to each other is one for the books. I don’t know of many relationships in real life that match this stubbornness as others call it, but they are there for one another.
This book was a slower burn than her other books, or at least for me it was, but damn it had suspense. I didn’t know who was good, who was bad and who I just wanted to disappear for FOREVER.
I loved the teasing between the boys about their kids. There are more babies...yes B-A-B-I-E-S on the way!!!! I can’t wait to read more of the Stealth Ops Series and see how things progress with a Bennett as PREZ!!!!

The story is beautifully written with a lot of action, twists and unexpected direction, introductions to the banter and characters of Echo Team, and well-rounded ending closing out this Stealth Ops Bravo Team series. Easy to follow, difficult to put down… each character is dynamic and well-rounded. I won’t deliver any spoilers, but I had a difficult time putting down the book and love how Brittney delivers another great love story and a fantastic segue into Echo Team.
What can I say about without giving away too much of this story? I have honestly re-written this review 5 or 6 times with just not knowing exactly what to say about Knox and Adriana’s story. We are introduced to Knox throughout the Stealth Ops series, but we never know his full back-story or why he is not the womanizer others on the Teams tend to be. Well, Knox is already in love and too afraid to realize it. A desire to keep others safe has pushed Knox to become one of the top-tier SEAL Team Guys in the country, but it also kept Adriana in the “friend zone” for the last 20 years. They shared one kiss the first time they met and even though he knew that moment she was THE ONE fear he has kept her at arm’s length because that was also the night her mother was killed in the line of duty as an Atlanta police officer. His innate desire to keep her safe from that moment and all these years has denied them both from what they truly want. Safe is good, right? Well, safe isn’t in their daily lives. Him a Stealth Ops SEAL Team Guy and her a Secret Service Agent. A Secret Service Agent who also happens to be assigned to keep his dad alive after an attempted assassination. During the investigation, the life he so desperately tried to keep from her from finally intermingles and he’s forced to finally come to realization he needs her. They work really well together throughout the book to bring his father’s attempted assassin to justice while also keeping the team he loves so much together for another 4-8 years. He finally finds a way to can keep her safe, but also love her the way only best friends and soul mates truly can. Knox and Adriana finally throw “safe” out the window in a long overdue and well written development of a love story.

OMG ! This book was absolutely Brittney’s best ! I’ll admit to being one of her top fans ! I’ve read all of her books and loved them all , but Knox and Adriana’s book is the best of the entire Stealth Ops series. This one has even moved Jessica and Asher out of 1st place for me ! The tension and anticipation of them finally admitting their feelings was so amazingly written , but the suspense and danger of this series is also right there. The only thing wrong is that I finished it in a day and I’m sad that’s the last of Bravo Team :( Well done Brittney!!!!
August 20, 2019
Brittney couldn't have picked a better way to wrap up Bravo team than with this story. Starting off slightly different than the rest of Bravo team, Knox and Adriana have been best friends for 20 years......... and their desire for each other has been strong for the last 20 years as well. Their chemistry oozes off the page. Not only does FTWB deliver a romance you see in the movies, but it is surely packed with quite the action punch. If you're looking for action, romance, and a big truth bomb .... pick up a copy. You won't be disappointed.

Wow! This book was the bomb! I love Knox and Adriana together. The chemistry is off the charts hot, they are deliciously sexy, steamy and you won’t put this book down. There is danger and suspense, and the build up to them revealing their feelings, holy crap y’all. I’m sorry to see this series end, it’s been a great ride and I know you will love this book. No spoilers here, this is a definite must read you can’t miss. I received an advanced reader copy of this book.

I think this was my favorite so far of the bravo team! I loved the give and take between Knox and Adriana. I loved the mystery as to who was behind everything that happened. I laugh and I cried. Brittney Sahin is the best!!!!!!!

5 FANTASTIC STARS!! What a fantastic story, I loved everything. Adriana and Knox will take you on a journey with all the feels. I could not turn the pages fast enough. Brittney Sabin has given us a beautiful suspense romance that will keep you wanting more.

Brittney Sahin is the queen of conspiracy theories!
I don't want to think that FHWB topped the other books in this series because every character has a different story to tell. They have different experiences and personalities that molded them to what they've become. Each story was specifically written for the intended character. What I can say is that Brittney delivered another high octane storyline.
The story begins when Knox and Addy were teenagers. There is an attraction but they're very young, especially Addy. They became best of friends and each other's protector. Fast forward 20 years later and their friendship is still strong. The prologue is very crucial because it shaped up the adult Abby and Knox. It shows how Addy's sense of obligation is rooted in her mother's ideology, to protect and serve.
Addy is now a Secret Service agent and Knox is part of a black Ops team that works directly with the President. When both of their worlds collided, Knox must make a decision on how he can continue keeping his secret to keep protecting Addy. Knox and his team need to find who wants to kill his father. Addy was assigned to protect Knox's father. How long until Addy finds out the truth? What other secrets are buried deep that involve Knox's parents? How long will they suppress their feelings for each other? And is Addy ready to be part of Knox's world? It is definitely a slow burn between these characters, but oh so worth the wait.
Aside from action and romance, what I always look forward to in reading this series is Brittney's genius plotting! Her ability to engage the reader to become part of solving the puzzle. It's like watching a real crime drama. The intensity of every scene can be felt at every turn of the page. It's action packed, suspenseful, nail biting, and funny. The light banter between Wyatt and AJ is a welcome distraction. A glimpse of a possible romance between Harper and one of the Echo team makes you giddy. The involvement of Echo team in this book is a segue to Wyatt's book and I'm looking forward to it!

Wow...just Wow!!!! Finding the Way Back is phenomenal. You will feel all it has to give in your soul. Brittney Sahin is one of my favorite authors. She has never once disappointed in giving me a terrific story and characters to love and root for. Finding the Way Back is a beautiful book not to be missed. I am not going to give specific spoilers in my review (I will tell you it has a HEA though because that is something I always want to know). I believe you should be able to fully experience all the book has to offer as you read it without specifics. My hope for you is that you have not seen any spoilers because this book is truly an experience you will not soon forget. I have come to love the characters that are in this book and all of the Stealth Ops and their families so very much. Knox and Adriana’s story strengthens that love further. If you are choosing to read this book as a standalone then know you will fall for Knox and Adriana because their love is inspiring. I will add that although I mentioned you are able to read this book as a standalone, you really should read the other four Stealth Ops books before reading Finding the Way Back to fully understand the bond that Brittney Sahin and her characters are conveying. You will feel many emotions with this book and you will be better for it. You are always better for reading a book by Brittney Sahin no matter what happens in the book she pulls you in and you are not able to put the book down because you have to know what happens next. Finding the Way Back is such a book and is a one-click must read. If you have not done so, I encourage you to read all of Brittney Sahin’s books if you are able because they are all outstanding.
****To anyone reading this who is currently serving or has served in the Armed Forces, Thank you for your service. To any family members of those currently serving or who have previously served, Thank as well. Thank You does not seem like enough, but know it comes from the heart.****

Just when I think Brittney couldn't top Finding Her Chance...she writes Finding the Way Back.
I never really felt like we got to know Knox in the other books and going into this I wasn't as invested as I was in the previous characters. But that all changed within the first few chapters and FWB has quickly become one of my favorite Bravo books. This story differs from others in the length of time in which the two main characters have known each other and it adds another dimension for the reader. These two characters are a powerful mash up and their dynamic is incredible.
While I love many of the other female leads Addy was the strong female lead I never knew I needed. I could strongly relate to her attitude and her drive to pursue her dreams. Knox is an incredible male lead with an insanely intertwined work/personal life that makes for a great read. The struggle Knox faced to support her goals and wishes was heartfelt. The two of them together brings Bravo full circle.
Get ready for bombshells and the unexpected when reading FWB! The introduction to Echo team was fantastic. Their dynamic is similar to Bravo but yet so different. Readers beware...you will be disappointed that the next book in the series isn't already available!

Brittney Sahin is brilliant in Finding the Way Back. Yes - it is a part of her Stealth Ops novel. But it can be read as a complete stand-alone. But be warned. The characters are amazing in this series, so you'll likely want to devour it all from the beginning. They will find a way to burrow themselves deep into your heart and never let go. You will find yourself thinking about them, long after you put the book put down as well.
Back to Knox and Adrianna - Wow! What a couple. Their story is unique, as it spans over twenty years. The day they finally talk - is the best and worst day of Adrianna's life. Though they have been strickly in the friend-zone for years, Brittney has a brilliant way of showing their thoughts are so much more. They both have put their careers first and when they're forced to work together, secrets they have been holding come out.
Their journey of finding their way back to one another is filled with love, combustible chemistry, and suspense that kept me burning through the pages to find out what happened next. I seriously could not get enough of this book.
Brittney has teased us so much with her side characters that I am dying to know what she has in store for us next. Well Done Brittney!

Best friends for 20 years, both having hidden their true feelings for the other, finally coming together. Knox is a black ops warrior and son of a presidential candidate who’s parents are the target of an assassination plot. Adriana is a Secret Service agent assigned to the investigation of her best friend’s parents’ investigation. Knox (Charlie) and Adriana meet at a high school party the night her mom was killed in the line of duty as an Atlanta patrol officer. Knox is super protective of Adriana and has kept his feelings for her hidden waiting for the perfect time, a time when his job won’t come in the way because he doesn’t want to put Adriana through the loss of a loved one like she went through with the death of her mom.
This is full of action involving Bravo and Echo teams and the characters we’ve come to love in the Stealth Ops series. Knox and Adriana are a fantastic couple and this book was well paced to keep the reader on the edge of their seat both in the progression of their relationship and the investigation. The payoff is both panty-melting and explosive.

Brittney Sahin's best work yet!
Addy and Knox have been best friends since they were teens. A bond forged by tragedy, but never faltering. Yet each have had romantic feelings toward one another. Knox didn't want the life of a spoil politician's son, so he left and became a SEAL, but kept their friendship strong. He just lived two lives. Addy knew he when he became a SEAL, she just didn't know he still was. Addy followed her mom's dream and became a secret service agent. Then fate brings them together and forces him to see his parents in a different light....
This book has many twists and turns. There were a few that seemed to come completely out of left field, but the pieces, when all together, made for a great story. The love this couple had for one another was beautiful and true. I was held captive by this story from the very beginning.
I highly recommend starting at book 1 in the series so you get a feel for the other members of Knox's team and their spouses who appear in this book, but I think you could read this as a stand alone.

This book was absolutely perfect! I loved the suspense, the action, the emotions and every single character! I feel like these characters are my friends and I don't want to say goodbye. Addy and Knox are everything and their slow burn relationship was breathtaking and kept me glued to the page. Their history is what makes their relationship so touching and everything they do for each other makes you smile. This book kept you on your toes, never knowing exactly what could happen and that just made it so much better. Brittney's books keep getting better and better and that's saying a lot considering they were amazing to begin with. You do not want to miss this book but you truly need to read all the Stealth Ops books, because they're all must reads. I'm so glad we got to meet the rest of Echo team and I am so excited these characters and stories are not done with this one! I can't wait to read whatever Brittney gives us next!

With each book in this series I get drawn in more and more. The characters feel like old friends. I’m rooting for them all. Each pairing brings its own dramas and love which makes you feel like you’re right there with them. This book was no different. I felt their pain and their sorrow along with their highs. I’d never could have envisioned the way this book would go. It was very cleverly revealed bit by bit. The intrigue and suspense was masterful. This author always continues to surprise me with her innovative and unique storylines. She tugs at your heartstrings and leads you on a journey from the first page to the last. I literally could feel Addie’s pain when she spoke and her love for Knox was inspiring to read as was his for her. I shed a tear or two I will admit reading this book. Awesome story. I cannot wait for Echo’s series now.

Fantastic! I love a good friends to lovers story, and this one was perfection. I just adored Knox and Addy. Their foundation is so solid, and I loved seeing their friendship turn to more. Even though she can easily take care of herself, Knox is so protective of her, which is something I am such a sucker for. Addy is such a strong heroine and has been through so much. I liked the family dynamic as well, and it was nice to see Knox reestablish the bond with his parents. While the romance really stole the show for me, there was the perfection amount of action and intrigue to keep things exciting. I couldn't wait to learn the truth. The ending was so satisfying, and I loved the deleted scenes as well! I hope Knox and Addy get another little bonus story because I'm greedy! Can't wait for the next story in this series!

Brittney Sahin certainly found a way to write another phenomenal installment to this Series.
Knox and Adriana have had a unique and protected friendship since high school. Boundaries were set and never crossed. Time and distance never separated the duo. Both have secrets. Both live a life with unknown factors. Knox protects Adriana without reservation, publicly and privately. Adriana is fierce but covets this closeness with Knox. But circumstances has them as rivals. Knox refuses to let the possibilities of a future into any equation with their relationship. When choices beyond Knox's control emerges, he takes notice and begins a quest back to the one thing that he can't let go.

I’m in love with this book. I have a relationship history that I can relate to Knox and Addy. Brittney’s ability to craft a story and wrap it in detail. Not to mention the build up and slow burn. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥
This book is probably one of Brittney’s best and I’ve read almost all of them. The attention to detail coupled with the romance and suspense. She absolutely nailed it with this book. If you haven’t read the Stealth Ops Series you should.
Hey Passion Flix. I would love to see this series or this book turned into movies. Holy Wow!! 😜

Brittney Sahin is on FIRE!!!!
Who doesn't love a friends to lovers story?
Knox and Adriana best friends for 20 years and neither put a voice to their feelings.
This story sucks you in from the beginning. Action packed, full of twists and turns. You'll laugh, you'll want to smack them both and say "Wake up and tell each other already".
I don't know how she keeps writing these books, but I hope she never stops.
I'm going to miss Bravo Team, but I can't wait to read Echo Team's books.
