Survival is crucial.
Trust is optional.
Love is unstoppable.
Jude Dagan’s life as he knew it ended a year ago. On a mission gone wrong, he was forced to watch as Ella Banning, the only woman he’s ever loved, was killed. Or so he thought.
Jude wasn’t the only one who lost something on the day Ella was presumed dead. She sacrificed Endgame Ops, the love of her life, and parts of herself she can never get back. Now she’s determined to take down the world’s most dangerous terrorist–even if it means working for him.
When Jude and Ella are reunited, they’ll battle the lies Ella has been forced to tell…and struggle to save a love that knows no bounds.
Titles in the Endgame Ops series include: Flash of Fury – Running The Risk –
Title: Running The Risk

Author: Lea Griffith
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Published: April 3, 2018
Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca
My Rating: 4 stars
Running The Risk is intense, full of action, lies, betrayal and the kind of love that could go beyond everything that’s happened… eventually. I easily got wrapped up in the lives and losses of the Endgame Ops series once again. And because of the way this story plays out I’m not comfortable giving much more than my opinion of the overall story. With this much deception, double crosses, danger, love, loss and gain it would be far too easy to say something that should be left for the reader to discover on their own.
My heart broke for both Jude and Ella – then it broke again before there was any healing in sight. In the middle of all the intrigue, the danger and the betrayals I was left wondering how far I would go for love. Love of self, love of another person, love of an ideal, love of country. Most of us won’t ever have to find out that answer but it does produce a compelling, deep and intense story that will twist and turn your mind and heart around a lot. If you love Romantic Suspense then this is a story that you will fall into. I’d recommend Running The Risk for it’s storyline, the characters, the action and the questions it gives us to think about. I’m loving this series and already anticipate the next journey into this world.
