Suspenseful, exciting, romantic. Wonderful story, realistic dialogue. I loved it.
I loved this book and it is a great add to this FIB series from Barbara Freethy. This book and the others in the series can be read as a standalone, but I advise reading them all. There is a side storyline that will get solved in the future books in this series. Each book follows a single FIB agent from the group that were in training at Quantico many years prior. One of their peers died while in training there. Each member of the group has had a huge case that touches them personally and they do not know if it’s purely coincidence or is their a mole on the FIB that is purposely trying to harm each member from this group. This book follows one of the members as she attends an engagement party where her friend is kidnapped right in front of her. This book is well written and keeps you guessing who did it and why. I love Barbara Freethy’s books and this series really has my attention and I get so excited when I know the next book is coming out. Order this book and the others in the series. I hope you enjoy them just as much as I have.
Elusive Promise, Book 4 of the Off the Grid series, continues the story of the five surviving FBI agents of the six who trained together. It grabbed me at chapter one and wouldn’t let me go. What a ride! Ms. Freethy really knows how to build tension and keep readers glued to her books until the end.
Ms. Freethy has written another winner! I can’t wait to read Book 5 in the series! I recommend Elusive Promise to anyone who likes a well-written romantic suspense.
Another excellent read in this fast moving series. Friendships are tested, with the question “who is the ultimate villain” as all these books are tied together by one tragic incident. Will all questions be answered in the next final book? It makes me wonder if all the previous characters will be included in the wrap up of this series. Now we anticipate the next. Good read.
Elusive Promise (Off the Grid: FBI Book 4) is such an awesome book it has it all mystery, romance and suspense. This is definitely another 5 star book from Barbara Freethy. She never disappoints. This book kept me turning the pages well into the night. Thank God I work overnights and was able to read it in one sitting. This book is fast paced and reels you in from page one. I love Barbara’s books and can’t wait for the next book to come out.
Elusive Promise (Off the Grid: FBI Book Number 4). Wow!!! I loved, loved, loved this book. I have been looking for a good book for a while, and I couldn’t put it down. It has everything….mystery, suspense, romance….a great story with wonderful characters. I highly recommend! You do need to read this series in order since there are references to previous characters that enrich the story. Well worth the investment. I may read the series again
Get ready for the race of a lifetime! Jasmine has been kidnapped from her engagement party & Parisa barely escaped death from a deadly toxin. Soon, Parisa is racing against time with the man that saved her life. Jared MacIntyre was following a lead, looking for a suspect in a cafe bombing when he stumbled over Parisa. He manages to convince her they’d be better together but he keeps his own secrets.
This was an interesting story for the 4th installment of this series. I enjoyed Parisa & Jared & their attempts at developing a relationship while they each keep their own secrets. I remember Damon from his story & was happy he popped in here. I still can’t develop a sense of Vincent. It seems like he turns up every time danger rears it’s head but is he evil & planning their downfall or is he trying to protect them? Loved this installment with its non stop drama & danger. I can’t wait until the next story!
This is a great new romantic suspense in the FBI series. Parisa and Jared are wonderful characters, both living life undercover, few people really knowing the real person. They are brought together by a chain of events that include mystery, life and death decisions, kidnapping, theft, and murder. In the midst of all of this, a strong chemistry draws them together in a way neither has felt before. Gripping story, a real page turner that drew me in from the beginning.
Another five star read from Barbara Freethy! This is another great read from her FBI off the grid series! This is The story of Parisa and Jared! I think they may be my favorite couple thus far !
From the first chapter this book is action packed! Parisa is easy to like and Jared needs a little time but clearly these two are great together, even if they aren’t who they claim to be !
