A MUST READ for Suspense Lovers!

Misty Evans expertly draws the reader in to this riveting suspense-drama about CIA agent Julia Torrison and her lover/partner Conrad Flynn. The story is fast-paced and action-packed with just enough romance and intrigue to make it a suspense-lover's favorite! This may be Evan's first story, but it surely won't be her last. I'm looking forward to reading much more from this author.

Operation Sheba

Heart stopping suspense, heart touching romance, a sassy heroine every woman will envy and a mouth watering hero to fantasize about. Operation Sheba has something for everyone. If suspense is your thing, don't miss out on this debut effort from Misty Evans. I, for one, will add her to my favorites list and look out for anything else she writes. 5 stars!!!

Gripping

OPERATION SHEBA is gripping. Ms Evans has no difficulty bringing her characters to life, even when one of them fakes his own death. CIA Super-agent, Julia Torrison is piecing her life together after her boyfriend and partner's death. Tormented can hardly describe her guilt when she built the bomb that exploded prematurely. Conrad Flynn did what was needed to keep Julia alive. Now he must destroy her new life as Langley's Counterterrorism's top analyst. An agency mole has a hit list and Julia is on it. I found it heart wrenching when Julia confronted her boss, who is also her boyfriend, and told him who she was. After this emotional scene, I nearly squeezed the computer screen to black when she raced from his house with the mole seconds behind her. I just knew Conrad was going to be too late in reaching her. Ms Evans writing style is superb. She takes you into the story and keeps you close while she winds her way through top secret doorways. Her plotting and setting techniques are brilliantly displayed. This genre is not a favorite of mine, but this book certainly is! If you read no other book this season, read OPERATION SHEBA. This author is TOPS! CarolASpradling.com author

On my Keeper Shelf: Operation Sheba

I absolutely loved Operation Sheba written by newcomer Misty Evans. From the opening pages this author has the ability to connect with her reader on so many levels. Suspense, romance and realism. Julia is an absolutely sympathetic heroine, torn between two powerful, sexy men. Imagine losing the love of your life and then to have a second chance at love with one of the most powerful men in the CIA, to discover the operative you once worked with isn't dead, and that he'd gone rogue to protect you. That's what Julia faces, two men who love her deeply, but each who put duty first. Ms. Evans does her research. If you want a glimpse of the CIA, spies, suspense and romance, I recommend Operation Sheba. What's more I plan to pick up this author's future work because I know it will be a guaranteed good read.

Best Romantic Spy Adventure that I have Ever read!

This is the absolute best romantic suspense story that I have ever read! Do not miss reading this treasure. Keep an eye on this author because Misty Evans is going places! Julia and Conrad are CIA operatives who are working on an overseas undercover assignment together, and they are also personally involved. Con is a former Navy Seal who took Julia under his wing during her CIA training, and for the past 5 years they have been living and working together. Julia feels intuitively that something is off with their current mission, something is just wrong with it, but she does not know what it is that has her so concerned. She expresses her thoughts to Con, but he just minimizes her feelings, tells her that everything will be fine as he departs for his dangerous assignment, leaving Julia waiting for him in their apartment. Conrad dies in an apparent premature explosion during his mission, leaving a devastated Julia to return home to America to work at CIA headquarters, and to try to heal her broken heart. A year and a half pass and Julia has become involved with the new CIA director, Michael Stone, who is the youngest chief ever appointed to that position. Awakening in Michael's bed one morning, Julia senses someone is in the bedroom with her and she knows instinctively that it is not Michael. Carefully pulling her gun out from beneath her pillow, Julia fires 2 shots before being disarmed, and finds herself enclosed in Conrad's arms again. Conrad swears her to utmost secrecy about his existence and presence there at Michael's home, tells her that he will see her soon, and slips out of Michael's house through the many alarm systems without being detected. Michael returns from his morning run to an empty bed, the smell of gun powder, and 2 bullet holes in his bedroom walls. Frantic with concern, Michael spots Julia sitting on his balcony with her hand still clutching the gun. Julia, deeply shaken by the unexpected arrival of her "dead" lover, makes up an excuse and leaves Michael's home to return to her own apartment before going to her work as an analyst at CIA headquarters. Thus begins the most romantic suspense story that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Julia's lost love Conrad tells her of a traitor within the CIA, and that her life, and the lives of many others are in grave danger. Together Julia and Conrad, along with some trusted friends, set about unmasking the traitor within the organization. Who stands to replace Michael if he dies, or is discredited somehow? Why is Julia's name on a Kill List? While I was reading this story my hubby and I were alone in the car together traveling from Kentucky to Texas , and I kept exclaiming "This is the best book that I have ever read", "Oh, Wow", laughing, saying "please don't hurt the dog", "someone please save her" as I busily scribbled notes for my review. Finally hubby asked if he could read it also after I told him about the plot. He said it sounded like a book that anyone, male o
