About this listen
Micah Sloane knows almost everything there is to know about Risa Clay, including the vicious betrayal she endured years ago and the distrust she’s harbored ever since. The only way for the Elite Ops agent to uncover an assassin - and banish the ghosts of his own dark past - is to use Risa as bait. But nothing has prepared him for her disarming blend of innocence and sensuality, or for his overwhelming need to protect her.…
Risa has spent six years rebuilding her life. And now, to save it, she must pose as Micah’s lover and draw a killer into the open. It’s a risky plan - especially with a man as powerfully seductive as Micah. But, as their charade becomes reality, Risa realizes the greatest danger may lie in losing her heart forever.…

It was supposed to be simple. All Navy SEAL Nathan Malone had to do was rescue three young girls from a Colombian drug cartel, then allow himself to be captured just long enough to draw out a government spy. That was before his mission went disastrously wrong… and before his wife, Bella, was told that Nathan was never coming home. Bella’s mourned her husband’s death for three long years, having no idea that he was still alive....

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Okay
What did you like best about Maverick? What did you like least?
I liked the storyline, but the romance between the characters was actually not "hot". I actually wanted to fast foward the sex scenes. I just didn't feel the chemistry.
If you’ve listened to books by Lora Leigh before, how does this one compare?
It's at the bottom. I expect more from her.
Do you think Maverick needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Yes, I would enjoy a series, but only if they are more along the line of Wild Card. That one was awesome.
Any additional comments?
I would wait until it's on sale. Keep your credit for something else.

Outstanding
If you could sum up Maverick in three words, what would they be?
I would like to have me a Maverick in my life -
What does Clarissa Knightly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The way she changes her voice to the story - love it -
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I don't think making a film out of books - you do not get the full effect when a book is turned into a movie -

WOW !! Just when you think you know the ops......
Where does Maverick rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
My favorite series so far....
I am so glad it continued from "Wild Card"
The story line is exciting , those ops agents keep me wanting more of them !
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Never wanted to put it down.
Any additional comments?
Dear Audible ......We want more ....more of the Elite Ops !!! Please add them soon!
I am very disappointed that I can not go on to the next book "Heat Seeker"

The story was great. Thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns.
The ongoing mispronunciation of Mee-Cah which should have been My-Cah was grating. Did Ms. Leigh want it pronounced that way. Took me multiple chapters to stop cringing at the mispronunciation of the protagonist’s name.

Very good read
What did you love best about Maverick?
I love the series - Micah/Maverick has always been one of my favorites - after Wild Card/Noah. That his heroine is strong yet so gentle is a wonderful foil for him
Any additional comments?
Where are the rest of the series???

Intense
Intense is how I describe this book, starting with page 1. There is a lot of pain, death, drama, and even rape in this book. It's got a lot more darkness than light and I think it's only fair to know that going in. The views of the killer, hero, heroine, and one or two random elite ops guys are all given. Yet Lora Leigh does an excellent job in not confusing me with who's speaking and why. I am a big fan of military romantic suspense, and this one had me flipping pages as fast as possible.
I had read some of Risa's backstory (Hidden Agendas- a tempting SEALs book) and that knowledge of her father's betrayal made me even more invested in this story. The character Micah was truly inspired, and I couldn't help but fall in love with and feel broken hearted for both him and Risa. So much pain and sadness in both their lives, yet they have the chance for love with each other.
This book could have been 5 star for me, except that several scenes really irritated me, I felt like there were too many characters running in and out, and the sex scenes got a bit boring for me after a while. Ah but don't misunderstand me- this was a great read (if a bit darker than my usual tastes) and I am glad I bought it.

Special Ops Book 2
Another great listen from Lora Leigh and Clarissa Knightly. I am really liking this series, and Maverick is Micah's story and takes place during a mission following Nathan/Noah's story from Wild Card, Book 1. This is another example of a great story with all the heat you expect from LL's writing. You also get a little better acquainted with the other members of the team and updated info on Noah. I hope these all come to Audible.

Excellent! This is a Great Series
Would you listen to Maverick again? Why?
Absolutely. The story is great and the sex is steamy.
What did you like best about this story?
The premise of a special ops unit luring in a killer with a lovable victim...some parts may be a bit unbelievable but it IS fiction.
What does Clarissa Knightly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoy Clarissa Knightly's work and her accents are spot on, whether New York, Aussie, etc.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Michah's compassion for Risa.
Any additional comments?
I'm perplexed by the negative reviews...I loved this ADULT THEMED book.
