I’m a HUGE fan of Rachel Grant’s smart, heart-pounding romantic suspense series and am in love with her sexy military thrillers! Rachel’s books feature smart, strong women (and men!)—so it’s no surprise I enjoy them—and, because she worked as an archaeologist for years, I always learn something when I read her books.
Now, please read this part: these books are sexy.
You know how in my thrillers, the intimate parts, such as they are, occur off the page? The romance and intimacy and, um, sex in this series is very much on the page. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Rachel’s writing will sweep you away to adventure in the Horn of Africa in a heartbeat, and it will also put you in the middle of hot romances between the characters. Highly recommend!
This was an AWESOME series!!! Rachel Grant doesn’t disappoint…I absolutely LOVED that characters from the Evidence Series were referenced…mentioning Rav and Curt added depth if you read the other series! Inferno was a novella…but WOW! If romantic suspense is what you looking for, you’ll totally enjoy Flashpoint!
I’ve been devouring this series and loving each one more than the next. I love the smart, badass heroines who don’t need to be rescued all the time, but who take turns kicking ass alongside their super-sexy male counterparts. And I love the diversity among the heroes and heroines of different ethnic backgrounds. Will definitely be grabbing more from this author.
Writer uses creative language to enhance the story’s action and interplay of characters. Well done!
None-stop action, non-stop hot romance and some delightfully warm, brave and tough characters who don’t hold back entertaining us.
Well researched, well written, grab-you-and-doesn’t-let-you-go book!
The books in Flashpoint are not just my favorite Rachel Grant books but some of my favorite romantic suspense books overall. The settings are unique, the characters are extremely likeable, the suspense will have you on the edge of your seat and the action will leave you breathless. Then to top it all off we have the romance that is sexy and hot.
Another thing I love about this series is that the women can kick ass too. They are smart and strong, no cowering helpless ones here. Which is good because they have to keep their sexy Alpha men on their toes. 🙂
While I know these books are fiction, I like that they incorporate some facts about the African countries where the stories take place. There was obviously a LOT of research that went into these books.
I know my review won’t do the books justice but I hope you give them a try, you’ll be very happy you did. I can’t recommend the Flashpoint books enough.
All of Rachel Grant’s books grab you in the first page and never slow down. Be ready to stay up late because you won’t want to but the book down!
An amazing series! And the novella, Inferno, was fast-paced and HOT!
I LOVED all the books in this series and what an AMAZING deal….all of them in one set YES !!!!!
Tinderbox – What more could you want and what an amazing story by Rachel Grant. What I loved about this book is the strong female heroine, Morgan, who is an archeologist and an equally strong hero, Pax, who is a Master Sergeant on his A team. Not only do these two have sparks and amazing chemistry he is not intimidated by how strong, smart and beautiful Morgan is and is in awe of her and her capabilities. Morgan is equally impressed by Pax the hot alpha male that he is. They try to deny their attraction and are forbidden to be together but that only adds to the desire and they are explosive when they come together. When Morgan is kidnapped by a warlord her inner and outer strength is needed but will it be enough to escape and survive and will Pax get there in time.
The author did an amazing job of describing their surroundings in a volatile area and the dangers lurking all around them, not only that but the book was full of suspense, action, lust/love and a woman who can hold her own with tact and dignity when faced with one or a room full of alpha and authoritative men. Highly recommended read that I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
Catalyst – I held my breath throughout most of this story as the action, suspense and danger just kept coming in this read. Rachel Grant writes a story that had it playing in my mind like a movie with all the in depth descriptions of the scenery, characters and action that it was hard to put down. Even though it was a long book, no page or word was wasted and hours passed by and I didn’t want to stop reading or take a break as it held my attention from the first page to the last.
A story of a Green Beret, Bastian, and a ruthless oil billionaire’s daughter, Gabrielle aka Brie, who was always a pawn in his business. She realized this and cut off all ties to her family, building up her life and doing humatarian work in a third world country. Unfortunately all Bastian sees is a spoiled rich girl who tried to ruin a reserve with an oil line. When she is kidnapped to be sold all Bastian wants to do is save her and his attraction to her as he gets to know the real Brie, makes it hard for him to resist her.
An amazing heart pounding and at times a heart wrenching read when some of the atrocities in third world countries are real and unfortunately not fiction. The steamy and sensual scenes between the two were sigh and swoon worthy and the read was filled with everything I LOVE in a book including some twists when the mystery of why she was targeted and by whom as well as who was in on it….WOW WOW WOW WOW
Firestorm – Holy Smokes !!! Rachel Grant does not disappoint in the next instalment of the Flashpoint series and we finally, finally, get to know Savannah, the spook, the one no one likes or trusts, the one who makes the hard decisions and doesn’t need to follow the rules on base, the CIA operator who works alone, a woman trained to do a soldiers job, walking backwards and in high heels. Now she needs Sergeant First Class Cassius Callahan’s help on a mission. Cal does not trust her or even like her that much, but even he can’t deny his attraction to her, ever since she sat across from him during a meeting, until he found out she’s CIA he’s been trying to steer clear of her. The mission is top secret, her orders have been changed, orders she can’t let Cal know but when things turn deadly and a traitor is in the midst…can they learn to trust each other to survive ?
What a read, a read that played like a movie right in front of my eyes, Mission Impossible meet Indian Jones, as I was reading it. The descriptions were right on point, I could feel the heat of the jungle, I could see in vivid detail the surroundings like I was there, I could feel the emotions, sparks, fireworks coming from these two, it was like I was there with them, running, fighting, trying to survive. The story flowed beautifully w/o skipping a beat, I loved Savvy and her kick a** attitude, what she survived and what she made of herself. I loved Cal, his heart of gold, compassion, his morals…what a man !
There was steam, some humour, suspense, action, betrayals, lies, deceit, killing, sensitive issues and much much more but what really stood out for me was the equal partnership with Savvy and Cal. She was not a damsel in distress, she could hold her own and Cal recognized that….AMAZING! In my honest opinion, this is a read not to be missed and Savvy and Cal have made it into my top 5 of all time couples.
Currently 2.5 books into this box set and LOVING every minute of it! Suspenseful, heart-pounding, gripping reads you won’t be able to put down.
The Flashpoint Series was my first time reading anything from Rachel Grant and I am so happy that I found her. Her books are action packed with believable scenarios. You will not want to put the book down!
