Freethy is not for the faint of heart. There’s always a twist waiting to be explored. Always a heartache waiting to be healed. Always a thrill waiting to be had. Fearless Pursuit refuses to back down when it comes to getting your attention. Jax and Maya pull readers into a page turner that encompasses the past, present and future. It’s complicated, emotional, captivating and unpredictable, but then the most haunting love stories usually are.
Enjoy her books
I enjoyed reading it.
Barbara Freethy has once again delivered an incredible romantic thriller with Fearless Pursuit. Each book in Barbara Freethy’s Off the Grid: FBI series gets better and better, and I think that Fearless Pursuit is my favorite book in the series. Although, I think that after I have read each book in the series. I absolutely loved Fearless Pursuit, the eighth book in her Off the Grid: FBI series. Fearless Pursuit had me guessing throughout the story what was really happened to Natasha Pertova and the other thrilling events that took place. It was truly a surprise villain that I did not see happening. I could not put it down. I loved every page. I really enjoy how the book is told from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. Barbara Freethy has once again proven that she is a master storyteller. Fearless Pursuit is the story of Jax Kenin, FBI Special Agent who was working undercover as a bartender at the Firebird Club and Maya Ashton, film maker working on making a movie about what really happened to her paternal grandmother, Natasha Petrova, a famous movie star, who is believed to have committed suicide over thirty years ago. Maya wants to tell the real story about Natasha for her grandfather, Phillip and hopes for a different ending. Jax and Maya meet at the Firebird Club, the private club where Jax is working undercover as a bartender investigating Russian spies. Maya’s grandfather, Phillip recently located Natasha’s journals in a long-forgotten safety deposit box. Maya goes to the Firebird Club in an attempt to talk to some of the men mentioned in her grandmother’s journals. Maya sees photos of her grandmother, from the former Russian House club that burnt years ago on the same location as the Firebird Club. After multiple attempts on their lives, the relationship between Jax and Maya changes. Jax fights his feelings because he does not want Maya’s search for answers into her grandmother’s death to interfere with his case. Maya breaks things off when Jax admits that he is an FBI agent working undercover, and she does not trust him because he lied to her. I loved the relationship between Jax and Maya changed and that Maya was willing to give Jax another chance. Jax reaches out to his team for help when things got complicated. I love how Jax gets answers into his own past and the death of his own parents when he was a small child. Eventually all clues lead them to who they think is really behind Natasha’s murder, but they were wrong and I did not see that happening. That was such a surprise twist for me. 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 Fearless Pursuit did not disappoint. One of my favorite parts of the story are the poignant moments that Maya has during conversations with her father, Rex and the guilt that he felt over Natasha’s death, and her relationship with her grandfather, Phillip. I loved all the secrets that Jax and Maya shared with one another. I love that all the characters from the previous books were included in Fearless Pursuit. It felt like a family reunion and I loved 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. I love how all the loose ends got tied up. I love all the characters and the way Barbara describes the locations in and around Los Angeles. It was really an incredible story and I loved every page.
A great addition to the FBI series. Fast paced with an unexpected ending. A must read.
What a tremendous read! I love Barbara Freethy’s Off The Grid: FBI Series. She writes each story so you are completely immersed in the mystery, romance and intrigue. Maya Ashton is trying to find out the truth about her grandmother’s mysterious death and make a movie of it. While trying to contact people who knew her grandmother during her days as an actress in Hollywood, she meets Special Agent Jax Kenin. He’s trying to bring down a spy ring, so he’s gone undercover at the same club where Maya has been asking questions. When danger brings them together, they work to find the answers to both their quests. I couldn’t put it down. There were so many well written twists and turns to the plot. Well done Ms. Freethy. Can’t wait for Caitlyn’s story to be told.
Fearless Pursuit moved quickly from the first page! It’s filled with suspense, action, intrigue and enough plot twists that I wasn’t able to guess what was coming next. I enjoyed how Jax and Maya’s stories intertwined together to create an exciting page turner. The book kept my undivided attention as Maya unraveled the story and secrets of her grandmother’s life. Through Maya’s investigation, Jax was also able to bring some resolution to his parents disappearance. It’s amazing how Barbara skillfully draws you into the story and the characters. One of my favorite parts of a series is catching up with characters from the past. I was glad to see some of my favorites from previous books were involved in this book. I highly recommend Fearless Pursuit and look forward to the next book in the series!
A book that is very hard to put down
Once you start the book you can’t stop. Interesting, suspenseful and keeps your interest until the end.
Jax is working as a bartender to try and get more information to shut down a group of Russians associated with a car dealership but on one of his 1st nights he notices Maya who is doing her own research. Her grandmother was an actress who died, most believe she committed suicide but Maya thinks there’s more to it and has promised her grandfather that she’ll get answers for him. When Jax is asked to return an envelope to Maya, he has no idea that their lives will become linked together and at the end there are even more twists and turns to the story. This is the 8th book in the series but can easily be read as a standalone. Ms. Freethy has very well developed characters who are part of a larger FBI group that are there for each other regardless. She writes a great mystery! I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving my review.
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Fearless Pursuit is book 8 in Off the Grid: FBI series by Barbara Freethy and another awesome read !!
Up next in this series is Special Agent Jax Kenin and Maya Ashton looking to make a movie about her grandmother, Natasha Petrova.
What happens next I will keep your turning pages to find out what happens around the next bend with lots of twists, turns, suspense, asking to many questions only to find less answers and more questions, Russian spy ring, seeing old friends from prior books and finding the truth…about their past and who they are now…
This book starts off fast and doesn’t slow up not even at the end. This is my favorite so far in the series and I have really enjoyed all the books. Jax and Maya have a connection and possibly not just a romantic one. The story line involving so many players was so well written. I didn’t get confused at all. There is a family dynamic and an intersection of characters that made me say wow “this author can write”. I just don’t want to give anything away. Gotta read this series – but definitely this book. Looking forward to the next book.
One case places agent Jax Kenin as a undercover bartender at an exclusive club in Los Angeles full of influential people and old Russians who had some kind of relationship with a dead actress 36 years ago.
Maya Ashton is the granddaughter of Natasha Petrova, the dead actress, Maya is looking for her grandmother’s story to make a film about.
What Jax and Maya never imagined or expected was that they would meet, help each other, fall in love and discover that several cases are intertwined with the old Club, an exclusive club that gave rise to the current one being investigated. The old one used to be Russia House, and it was an exclusive club for Russians.
Another story of mystery and discoveries of love, another great story by Barbara Freethy, engaging, intelligent and perfect.
Barbara Freethy never fails to deliver stories that are guaranteed to leave you sitting on the edge of your seat as you go through the various twists and turns as you read through the story. While this is a part of a series, this can easily be read as a stand alone book.
Maya was asked by her grandfather to investigate the death of his ex-wife that occurred over 30 years ago. He turns over journals that her grandmother wrote. She gets pulled in wanting to investigate what really happened and wants to get answers for her grandfather and to make a movie about her grandmother.
When Jax goes to work undercover at a Club called Firebird to investigate a Russian Spy Ring that seems to point to to this Club, little does he know that his life is going to be disrupted by Maya who is determined to question the very people that he is investigating. He works with her to try to get her from ruining his investigation, the twists and turns pull you in. Love trying to figure out who does what, , but Barbara always manages to have so many things that you don’t expect that it always leave you guessing. Highly recommend.
This is a fantabulous addition to the FBI series! Immediately we jump straight in with the action and adventure as we join Jax in his undercover job. There’s tons of mystery and intrigue and some twists I definitely did not see coming but once again I found myself lost in the story. This is a fantastic series that I can read over and over and I just love the camaraderie and family feeling between them all!
Ms. Freethy is the master of writing nail biters. Fearless Pursuit is Book 8 in the Off the Grid: FBI series. Each book captures the reader from the first chapter and takes them on a wild and sometimes terrifying ride until the conclusion. Fearless Pursuit is no exception.
Fearless Pursuit can be read as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend that you read the whole series. You will be glad you did.
Love this series! A group of agents from the FBI who went thru training together have become friends. This series is based on those agents. This is Jax’s story. He is undercover while he meets Maya. She is in search of the truth about her grandmother’s death 36 years ago. He’s trying to infilitrate a spy ring. Her search is getting in the way of his job, so he decides to try and help her, or discourage her, from her mission. There’s lots of action, plot twists and suspense. I really enjoy all these characters. Looking forward to the next one, and hopefully more to come!
Maya Ashton is relentless in getting answers for her grandfather regarding her grandmother Natasha’s death. She also wants to make a movie about her grandmother. A few of Nataha’s past journals begin Maya’s quest. Jax Kenin is an undercover FBI agent. When his path crosses with Maya’s sparks fly. Not only do their journeys intersect but they continue to lead on a parallel path revealing unexpected secrets. Barbara Freethy has really done it this time. A most intriguing storyline with multiple facets and secrets to be revealed. Add in a bit of danger and intrigue and this author has another 5 star hit on her hands.
Another wonderful book by Barbara. The glitz and glamour of old Hollywood collides with and FBI investigation and a woman searching for truth. I liked Maya for the most part. She was strong and determined and willing to risk it all to figure out what happened to her grandmother. Jax is a great character, although I wish there had been more of his family in the story. I didn’t love all the additional characters while trying to figure out what happened. I just never seemed to love or hate any of them. Still, a great story overall
Wow, the 8th installment of this fast paced series. As always Barbara Freethy makes this newest addition an exciting game of who-done-it. Enjoyable from the first to the predictable end. Add this to your TBR list.
