Wow! Another wonderful story in the Off the Grid-FBI series. Barbara Freethy has once again delivered an incredible romantic thriller with Elusive Promise. I absolutely loved Elusive Promise, the fourth book in her Off the Grid-FBI series. Each book in the series keeps getting better and better. Elusive Promise had me guessing throughout the story as to who was behind the kidnapping and the other thrilling events. I could not out it down. I loved every page. I really enjoyed how the book was told from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. Barbara Freethy has once again shown that she is a master storyteller. Elusive Promise is the story of Parisa Maxwell, an undercover FBI agent whose specialty is foreign languages and Jared MacIntyre, a CIA agent whose cover is a journalist. Parisa and Jared meet at the engagement party of one of Parisa’s childhood friends, Jasmine Kumar. Parisa and Jasmine have not seen each other in more than fifteen years. Jared is at the engagement party as an uninvited guest. During the party Parisa and Jasmine go to talk in Jasmine’s bedroom at the consulate, while in the bedroom a poisonous gas flows from the ventilation system. Jasmine is kidnapped wearing the family heirloom that Westley gave her as her engagement ring. Jared rescues Parisa on two separate occasions, once at the consulate and again at an FBI safe house. While they are searching for clues into Jasmine’s kidnapping, and the attempts on Parisa’s life, Parisa and Jaredshare secrets from their past and begin to explore their feelings for one another. Jared admits that he thinks that Jasmine’s kidnapping is related to a bombing in Paris where April, his friend and coworker was killed. Parisa and Jared both reveal their true identities to one another. My favorite part of the story is when Jared tells Parisa that he wants to be her home. I really enjoy the poignant and bittersweet moments, the plot twists and the surprises that I have come to love and expect in Barbara Freethy’s books and Elusive Promise did not disappoint. One of my favorite parts of the story are the poignant moments that Jared shares with Parisa when telling her about his mother’s death and the moments they share at his childhood home. I love that Damon Wolfe, was Parisa’s FBI contact in the story. I love catching up with the other characters from the series. I love how all Barbara Freethy’s epilogues, wrap up the ending of the story and are always my favorite part of her books. Never would I have guessed who was involved the Jasmine’s kidnapping and the attempts on Parisa’s life, that was truly a surprise plot twist. I love how all the lose ends got tied up. I love the characters and the way she describes the locations in and around New York City. It was really an incredible story and I loved every page.
Never a disappointment. Loved the story line. Intelligent characters, mystery, a bit of romance with it not being all about the sex, and a page turner. What more can a reader ask for?
Too many inconsistencies and too much repetition. It tightened up the story would have been better.
Good story and unknown culprit
BF is an amazing story teller. Her books come to life with everyday People amidst romance, suspense and creative plots ! Just wish her kindle books weren’t so EXPENSIVE! I love her writing!
This is a great mystery mixed with a live story. Keeps you in suspense.
A little slow-moving but okay.
There was more graphic sex than storyline.
5+…Highly recommend if you enjoy a suspenseful fast paced read. Have read several of this author’s books and all have been entertaining well written stories that never disappoint. This particular book was comprised of a storyline based upon theft of a 50 million dollar blue diamond, kidnapping and a terrorist organization which escalated to both the FBI and CIA becoming intertwined in the takedown.
Intrigue mixed with lots of action, emotional plus tragic circumstances coupled with romance and an array of interesting characters proved to be a novel which was difficult to put down and definitely a page-turner.
Love the whole series
Good read.
Disappointing, Predictable, decent read but not close to a page turner. I had a hard time greeting excited about it.
Love all her books
Elusive Promise is the fourth book in the Off the Grid: FBI series. This was another great story in this series. Parisa is determined to find her friend after a kidnapping, and Jared has his own reasons for teaming up with her. Their chemistry oozed off the pages, and this story kept me hooked from start to finish. I definitely recommend it.
Great story,one of the best. I like this whole series
