Grant’s Heat is exploding with emotions…. emotions that YOU will have. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Not gunna lie, I’m pretty sure I hit every emotion known to man kind reading this one. I knew it was going to be emotional, especially knowing what you know about Grant and Rio from the Shark’s series. I will DEFINITELY re-read this book. I cannot wait till the next one comes out so I can get a grip on the emotional cliffhanger it left us on.
I’m not sure where to start. This book, Jesus Christ. it took me on an emotional rollercoaster. I knew going into this that it was going to pull at my heartstrings but I had no idea it would gut me the way it did… Grant and Rio’s story hits home for me in more ways than one. I’ve been sitting here for weeks trying to work out how I am going to do this book justice. I’ve read it several times over now and with each read, it breaks me into pieces all over again, but in all the best ways…
Rio is a character I can relate to, for so many reasons and I think the way the author wrote this character… the emotion, the heartbreak, the devastation she went through, the denial and the pain, and the way it all played on her mental health was beautifully written and written in a way that people can understand, and feel for themselves… The author went to great length to get this right, I feel. To zero in on the mental illnesses this character had and the pain she went through broke me into pieces, because I could feel just how real that pain she was feeling was… and god it was real, it was overwhelming and completely consumed me. Even though this is suspense, and yes there is plenty of suspense in this book, it was more on the emotional side to me and I loved that. I loved that it mixed the two and it flowed so perfectly.
Grant is now officially the man of my dreams. Sebastian Shark who?
Yeah, Grant holds my heart so tightly now. We got glimpses of the way this man was in books one to three but what we didn’t see was the connection he had with Rio and the bond that had formed after Grant spent so much time with her keeping her out of harm’s way. In this, you see it all. You hear his inner thoughts, and you read the way he is with her and just how much of an impact these two have on each other. What he is willing to do for her, how he will go to great length to protect her, that he truly will do anything for this woman and he constantly proves it. Before the halfway point, I had tears streaming down my face. It was devastating but the way this man was with Rio, how gentle, loving and caring he was with her, the way he protected her. It reminded me of someone I love with all my heart. So to say these two and the relationship that builds between them was heartbreakingly beautiful and emotional would be an understatement. As I said, it hit home hard for me on so many levels.
From the moment I started reading this, I felt there was so much more to it, I’m not saying one to three weren’t amazing, but I am saying this is the best work to date, in my opinion. I honestly haven’t read anything that grabbed hold of my heart and my mind like this did before. I could feel the passion, heart, soul, and agony that was poured in between these pages and it was such an incredible, heartbreaking and phenomenal experience to watch these characters develope, to watch them grow together. There is still so much more to be told about Rio and Grant, I can feel it and I cannot wait to see what’s to come. I need answers to so many burning questions and I need more Grant and Rio. I’m completely in love with these two and they’ve consumed my mind beyond belief. This was my top read this year, but honestly… I’d have to say it’s right at the top as an all-time favorite and will remain there, but I do believe the best is yet to come with these two and I am more than excited to see where it takes us!
I want to dive in deep, I want to rave about this book. I want to tell you all… But I won’t. I believe it needs to be experienced with … You need to go right from book three to book four without a thought to get a better experience of it.
I loved it, I love the passion and emotion behind it, and just how amazingly well written it was. How the author tackled sensitive topics and it was relatable. I found myself completely lost within the pages.
This sort of plot and the emotional depth it holds is what got me so obsessed and in love with romance. This was pure perfection right down to the finer details and is worthy of so much more than 5 Stars!
!
But hold on tight because it’s about to take you on an emotional rollercoaster with twists and turns you do not see coming.
AMAZING!!
Grant’s Heat will rip your heart out. It will make you an emotional wreck. It will leave you wrung out. Angel Payne and Victoria Blue have outdone themselves. This may be their best work to date! I absolutely loved it!
So intense, so emotional, a complete and amazing roller coaster I didn’t want to get off.
Oh my god I cried more with this book than I have in a long time, it was such a roller coaster of emotions, raw emotions. It was so amazing, beyond amazing actually.
Grant is such an amazing man and is willing to do anything for Rio, I just had so many thoughts on what was going to happen, you have a few ideas when going into their story and the authors try to sell you on an idea but you never really imagine it.
Angel and Victoria my dynamic amazing duo you were outstanding, you took us to new level with this book, I love everything you write of course, but this is in my top favorites now.
And FYI please restore my love for Bas lol, well I love him but I really want to hurt him right now!!
Grant has always been Sebastian’s go-to man and made the business a priority. When a tragedy strikes, Grant and Rio become more than just friends. And the sparks between them are not the only combustible item. Will Grant get a new perspective on the way Sebastian affects everything that surrounds him? Will their friendship and working relationship survive both men when they both have other priorities? Fast paced and leaving you on the edge of your seat, Angel Payne once again engulfs her readers in a web of secrecy, deception and romance that proves she can create one masterpiece after the other. I cannot wait for more in this series!!
The QUEENS of mind-boggling, white-knuckling, edge of your seat, storytelling is back at it AGAIN!!
After reading books 1-3, I was did not think there was a way to top that and I was definitely wrong. This series gets better and better with each book release. I was entranced from the first word to the last. I had a hard time going to sleep and doing household chores because I was so consumed with this story.
The story had great characters, great interactions, and the best story line I HAVE EVER READ!!! Aside from the twenty thousand questions I had from books 1-3, I now have twenty thousand more. There is still so many answers that need to be revealed…with that being said, I’ll be around until the end….waiting for each book in agony. Speaking of end, I personally hope and pray there is no end. RIGHT NOW, I vote for 1545445412154121532448245 more books in this series. Angel and Victoria are some of the best authors in my world. I love their amazing work and CAN NOT wait to see what the next book holds.
Grant and Rio’s story is the beginning of a very emotional roller coaster. There are some breath-stealing, heartbreaking, anger-inducing scenes. This was expected knowing what we knew from the first 3 books. It was shocking and surprising none the less.
I do like these two and look forward to the next book. My mind is already cooking up possible paths for them as they go. Their friends and family are going to take some work to accept this new reality. My mind will too.
I have never known anyone like Rio but I have had front-row seat to her devastation. That said, I am hoping for a grand awakening for her.
Grant’s Heat is the fourth book in the Shark Edge Series. And this is Grant Twombley & Rio Gibson’s story. Grant is Sebastian Shark’s right hand man and friend. Rio has problems, she has a lot of overwhelming problems. Grant is a problem solver and he takes on and falls for Rio.
Grant’s Heat takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster and the ending was a WTF kind of ending. I needed to pick my jaw up from the floor. I am anxious to read the next book in this series. I hope the wait won’t be too long!
I am completely in love with this series. It’s addictive, steamy and fast paced. Grant is so oddly hot. He’s not your typical hero. He’s different and a bit quirky. I loved the change of pace. The tension and angst was killer and I couldn’t read fast enough to see how it turned out. Definitely a must read. Definitely recommend this series. So different and compelling.
OMG I so so loved this book what can I say it’s freaking amazing just when I think this series is awesome it gets so much freaking better I got my popcorn wine chocolate and my book I can’t even stop reading this beauty it’s so damn good grant and Rio is sexy af and I mean sexy definitely a five star read 🙂
This book is hands down very emotional. It’s a wild ride for sure. One you wouldn’t expect but omg will love. It will have you in rears qith your heart broken but eventually back together. Angel and Victoria are both bad ass and some of my favorite top authors. I absolutely loved this book and think it’s my favorite. Grant and Rio have such a sexy chemistry between them . I love them both. Can’t wait to see what happens next .
There are two kinds of secrets, those we keep from others and those we hide from ourselves…
Sometimes words cannot express feelings. This is my challenge in trying to convey all the emotions that went through me when I read Grant and Rio’s story. I feel I need a heart transplant because this story ruptured it and finely chopped it up.
Grant is in a pressure cooker waiting to explode. His best friend Sebastian Shark is perching on his one shoulder and Rio is perched on his other. He is being pulled in opposite directions and finding it tortuous to decide where his emotional loyalties lie. Grant is Rio’s friend and human diary. She feels so drawn to him and she is in torment because of it.
Grant has never experienced anyone like Rio and it has caught him completely off guard. There are many surprises in this book and I feel completely spent with all the intensity of it all. I look forward to their story in the next book and hope to get some answers. I pray that I will survive it all.
Grant Twombley has it all—a successful career, a contacts list full of gorgeous and willing bedmates, and the ear of Los Angeles’s most prominent captain of industry. So I was looking forward to this book about Grant, because he is quite a sweet character, but for me there was just too much WTF feelings. (spoiler) 1. Rio is told there is an accident at her husbands job site, and instead of asking if her husband is alright, she drives off and makes a little fire, and the way it was dealt with at the hospital was crazy and unrealistic. 2. I am not sure why Rio is so annoyed at Sebastian and Abigail, she was the one that pushed her friend into dating him in the first place. 3. She loved her husband so much that she jumps into bed with Grant almost straight away. 4. On getting rid of her husbands clothes she tells Abigail that it is too painful to look at them, but it was obviously not painful enough to stop her from having sex with Grant. 5. And last but not least, Rio is a nut bag that Grant just needed to get as far as possible away from.
This series just keeps getting better. Absolutely love Grant’s story starting off with his friendship with Rio. Though they have just a friendship, feelings develop even though Rio is married. While the story moves forward things happen and Grant is being the best friend to Rio as he can without crossing lines. Without giving anything away, this story leaves us on a cliff hanger and wanting more. I can’t wait to see where this goes next!!
Grant and Rio’s story starts off bringing all the heat!
This trilogy begins with Rio happily married and Grant harboring a secret crush. From there everything starts to unravel and I was so surprised at all that came about. I really enjoyed the start of Grant’s books and am looking forward to seeing what happens between these two!
Such an amazing story!! I was hooked from the beginning! Angel Payne and Victoria Blue created such an amazing series with Shark’s Edge! This story left you with feels and wanting to know more!! I love Grant and Rio and the way their connection unfolds!! Definitely a must read!!
This series just keeps getting better and better!! I love Grant and Rio’s story! I won’t give any spoilers so you’ll have to read it to see for yourself how amazing it is.
The authors take you on a roller-coaster ride of a lifetime!! This book is full of emotion and you will fall in love with the characters. Angel Payne and Victoria Blue are so great together and know how to pull a story together!! I was turning pages and couldn’t get enough!!! I’m so excited for the next book. This is a definite must read!!
This is the fourth book in the Shark’s Edge series and it will leave readers feeling as if they are at the free-falling ride at an amusement park and still recovering once it is completed. If there was a higher rating system than five stars this story would still be off the charts! Grant is Sebastian’s best friend/COO of Shark Enterprise and Rio is Abbi’s best friend/Co-owner of Abstract Catering. Both were in the prior three books and to understand the dynamics at play, you should read this one after completing them.
The relationship between Grant and Rio is developing and the attraction is causing them to reach out to each other, “in friendship,” to deal with some of the strains in their life. The emotions that these characters go through are like a punch to the heart. At times I felt anger towards the two, in a reverse selfishness way, and then could not help but feel empathy for the situation they found themselves in. There is so much to unpack that you must read this book for yourself – Do Not Pass Go – Head over to your favorite store and one-click this series today! Oh, it does end in a cliffhanger so be warned and here is a little teaser….“I just stood in front of the only man I’ve been able to count on for my entire life. A man I’ve considered my brother. The only person who has had my back, every f***ing time I’ve needed him – and I lied to him. Lied right to his face, Rio. And I did it to protect you.”
I cannot wait for Ms. Payne and Ms. Blue to release the continuation of this journey for Grant and Rio!
I’ve been waiting for this book for so long and it did not disappoint.
I wasn’t sure where the story line between Grant and Rio was going to go, but oh my, the twists, turns and surprises are amazing. I admit, I didn’t like Grant much in the first three books of this series, but he has definitely redeemed himself in this book.
I need the next 2 books like yesterday to see what happens with Grant & Rio!!!!
Grant’s Heat will take you on a ride you’re not prepared for! One of my favorite author pairings is Angel Payne & Victoria Blue: together they make you feel as though you’re having a heart attack, only to be revived and put through the ringer again. As emotionally prepared as I think I am for each of their books…there’s nothing you can do, just hold on and enjoy the ride! While this is definitely a romantic drama, it still has that flair of suspense, keeping you guessing what’s going to be thrown at you next. I absolutely love this series and devour each book the second it’s available. I can’t wait for the next one, but I might need to refill my inhaler first, lol!
