“Grinded” (The Invincibles Book 3) by Heather Slade is a great read. I loved ‘Grinder’ Miles and Pia’s story. This is a great addition to this series, packed with action, romance, suspense, military, entertaining characters, and more. I can’t wait to see what happens next with this interesting cast of characters. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, action, military, and series.
Grinded is the story of Miles, aka Grinder, a founding member of the Invincibles Security firm. As a teenager he met Pia when he and his parents vacationed in Italy. For the next 10 years, Miles and Pia seemed out of sync in their relationship. Miles served in the military and was injured in an IED explosion which nearly took his life. Pia, on the other hand, continued her education regarding her family’s vineyard. When Miles and Pia finally get together, much has changed. Pia is trying desperately to hold on to the vineyard when Miles arrives in Italy to investigate the accidents which have plagued the vineyard.
This novel is a high-octane, romantic suspense with fabulous character development and plot. A 5-star read that will keep you turning pages long past bedtime!

This was such a wonderful read. I really enjoyed the whole overall feel of this book. I thought that this romance had a relatively unique slant that felt quite fresh. Miles and Pia are characters that quickly sneak into your heart and will have you rooting for this couple every single step of the way. The path that these two must travel on the road to a HEA is long and filled with obstacles they must overcome. The engaging story line keeps you focused with a compelling blend of suspense, drama, deep emotion, danger, action, mystery and romance. An overall great read. This is my frank, freely posted review.
Miles and Pia met as teenagers and fell in love. That first meeting during a vacation cut short, but they wrote to each other. They almost totally miss each other after high school graduation but manage a day. Then they finally get together before Grinder is shipped out on a very dangerous mission.
This mission doesn’t end well for Grinder, and severely injured he pushes everyone away, including Pia.
Now Pia’s Vineyard is in trouble and the people who should be helping her are causing her more headaches than help. Paolo the once boyfriend offers some help in the form of her traveling with him to sell her wine.
It’s on that trip to London that she runs into Miles again. Their reunion is explosive and then Miles gets called away without being able to say goodbye.
So much happens in this book, there’s lots of suspense, plenty of intrigue and kindle melting heat as pieces to the puzzle come together.
I really can’t wait for the next book in this series!

Book number three and you think Heather Slade can’t possibly get any better with the Invincible Series. Well hang on tight cause you are in for the read of your life. While reading Miles and Pia’s story you are going to be all over the place with emotions, also quite a taste of suspense, danger, drama, and mystery.
The chemistry and the immediate connection between the characters was amazing from the moment their eyes met.
There were so many times I was literally on the edge of my chair trying to get to the last word on the page in order to turn the page for more more more. Can’t hardly wait for book four to come out. This is without a doubt one of the better series that I’ve read and enjoyed. Definitely would recommend! Love Love Heather Slade’s books.

Grinded book 3 in The Invincibles series was a great story by Heather Slade this is a story about young love, heartbreak, danger and trust. Miles Stone “Grinder” is a sixteen years old and in Italy with his parents when he becomes intrigued by the beauty Pia Deltetto. This is a time of innocences and young love with these two, but circumstances have sent them down separate roads. They will come face to face but sometimes things just get in the way.
This is just the start to a great story that will have you waiting to see what awaits these two around the next corner and it only keeps you hoping and cheering for these wonderful characters . It will definitely have you on an emotional roller coster and pull at your heartstrings. I absolutely loved this story and I highly recommend it.
This series is a little different than the last but the guys are just as torn when it comes to their personal lives. Balancing their work and their personal lives isn’t easy especially when the mission ends in an devastating injury. She caught his eye and his heart but years have passed and the short spurts of time do not a relationship make. This was not only a read with action and of course danger it’s also an emotional one. This time the danger and action have had a deep hand in her life and now that he’s pulled his head out of his butt and put his duty to the Invincible’s on hold he may finally get all he’s dreamed of if it isn’t too late.
Love this author and her guys, but Grinded takes your heart too. These guys are all action and duty until the heart makes them stand for more, and they are all in. They want it all and will do what it takes to not only protect and serve for their country but for the women that steal their hearts and make them beat a new tune.
This is Book 3 of The Invincibles Series
This is the story of Grinder & Pia. Grinder is sixteen years old when his family goes to Italy to the Valentini Estate for a summer vacation. Pia is the heir to the Valentini Estate. That’s when they meet. This is a very drawn out love affair. Things keep happening to keep them apart, mostly things that happen in Grinder’s life. I love Grinder and Pia, two totally different people. There are many emotions that are felt through all the years, and you feel every one of them. Yes, there is an HEA. A very well written story, which I’ve come to actually expect of Heather Slade. She is just that good. Kudos, Heather Slade, for another great book. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
So much romance, so much heartache!
This book was set up completely different than the author’s other works, which mostly focus on the present time with a few flashbacks if the couple has a history. But this one is all about the history! Miles and Pia are each just 16 years old when his English family vacations at her Italian family’s winery. They barely spend any time together, but it was enough to make an impression that would last a lifetime.
The story then follows both Miles and Pia as they move through the next decade, seeing each other very infrequently but keeping their relationship alive through letters. The few short moments they have together are so romantic, so filled with the depth of their feelings for each other, but the very separate paths each is taking keep them from really coming together for the first half of the book.
Once we’ve caught up to the present time, it’s obvious that these two belong together and it’s time to get everything else out of their way. I loved the way Miles proved his devotion, how he stood by Pia as she faced the truth about all that had happened. The layers of loyalty and betrayal surrounding the winery were brilliantly written to tease out the suspense before clearly revealing all the secrets. I loved the sneaky little detail that the author hinted at from the beginning and how it turned into being the biggest surprise ever!
I struggled to remind myself that this was all fiction, as Miles and Pia felt so real from the start. Their HEA is rock-solid and very satisfying in how it tied up all the loose ends. This author’s books are like potato chips – you can’t stop at just one – but if you’re only going to read one, this is the most romantic one of all. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
A trip to Italy when he was 16 had far reaching consequences for Grinder. There he met Pia at her family owned winery and she would become an important part in his life..
There is danger, there is intrigue and much much more in this exciting and well written story which I thoroughly enjoyed.
