Then Miles is badly injured on a mission and pushed everyone away including Pia but when she needs help he will be the one to step up to help her Can they finally admit what they are to one another and will they finally get a HEA You will have to read to see
A little bit of an unusual story for Heather Slade. We do have our MI5 agent, one of Rile’s best friends, so the story ties in with the other stories. But this love story starts when both are teenagers and we observe Grinder’s and Pia’s love grow stronger, go through with the fear of being rejected, when wounded in war as well as Grinder’s fight to protect Pia from machinations she had inherited together with her vinyard.
Fast-paced and thrilling at times, slow and romantic at others, it is an interesting blend, that keeps the reader engaged in the story throughout.

This was a story Miles and Pia who started out as teenage loves who were separated many times over several years, but kept coming back together. They both dealt with hard times, she with her family and he with his military career. There was also the mystery of why her family appeared to be so cursed with so much loss. I loved reading about her family’s Tuscany villa and vineyard. As with the other stories in this series there was plenty of suspense and action with Miles’s work and also dealing with the curse.
I really enjoyed this book! It was fast paced and flowed nicely. The turn of events were done beautifully and the ending was terrific!

Miles and Pia met when they were teenagers when his family visited her family’s vineyard and although they didn’t have much time together that didn’t make it any less meaningful and through the years the distance between them may have been physical but it wasn’t emotional.
Years later fate brings them together when the company he is a partner in is sent to investigate some suspicious activity at the vineyard. The connection between them is stronger than ever but will they be able to overcome not only his past but the threats they are facing in the present?
Suspense, twists and an enduring love that is strong enough to stand the test of time.
Pia and Miles met and fell in love when they were sixteen. He and his parents vacationed at her family’s vineyard that summer which was cut short. They keep in touch through letters and meet again for a day after high school graduation. This seems to be there pattern to meet for short periods and then part again. There is so much happening in their lives and the suspense, intrigue and romance kept me reading. I enjoyed this poignant second chance romance.

LOVE OVERCOMES THE WORST OF OUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS
I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review
Myles Stone, Mylos, earned the moniker Grinder after going through military training and joining MI5. He met Deltetto when they were sixteen. On again and off again correspondence led them to believe the wrong things about each other and soon ten years had gone by. The story tells of love lasting through injuries, self-destructive moods and struggling to find oneself in a time of hardships.
The third book in The Invincibles series a well written suspense, second chance story, this series just gets better with each new book. This is Miles “Grinder” Stone and Pia Deltetto’s story there is suspense, drama, danger, kidnapping, twists, turns, intrigue, a diamond, and romance. I want to read the next book.

What a great love story between Miles (Mylos) Grinder Stone and Pia Deltetto. A teenage summer love that continues on despite time and miles apart. Wonderful suspense, angst and great characters. There is loss along with the love. Grinders buddies in the Invincibles help to ensure the solve the mystery of the villa/vineyard that Pia owns. As with many of Ms. Slade’s books, I had a difficult time putting this book down and often read in the night when I should have been sleeping! Exciting read!
More of a Fifth Chance Romance!!
I totally enjoy this series but found some frustration in this particular story.
Pia and Grinder meet when they are young. Too young to be serious, and they must travel at their family’s whim. They meet again just prior to college and military, which again keeps them apart. Reactions to a horrific accident creates an additional rift.
Two souls meant to be together may find a way – but theirs is not an easy road.

Life would take Miles away from her more than once; but their love for each other will draw them across the miles that separate them more than once.
Pia Valtetto was only a teenager when she met the love of her life. He was the British boy she’d met at her home one summer while his parents vacationed at her vineyard. Her whole life was already planned out for her by her father. She thought she would never she her Mylos again. Fate would draw them back together.

This is the first book by this author that I’ve read and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I thought the story line was good and the character work was great. The story had a fairly smooth flow to it. I was entertained from beginning to end. I look forward to more by this author.

Grinded is a story of love that blossoms in young adulthood. It’s periodically nurtured over a 10 year period before circumstances bring Grinder and Pia together and the journey to their HEA truly begins.
Over the intervening period, Miles ‘Grinder’ Stone and Pia Deltetto live their lives apart, working on realising their career goals.
They each face challenges that shape the people they become but they have a chemistry, a link, that never really severs despite misunderstandings and poor decisions.
The story of ‘Mylos’ and Pia is one where our hero and heroine have to work hard for their love and life together.
I found the format of this novel quite different in style from what I’ve read from this author before but it doesn’t detract from the story and in fact adds to the reader’s understanding of the characters.
Although ‘Grinded’ can be read and enjoyed as a standalone, I like the way that well loved characters from previous novels or series, make cameo appearances.
A nice addition to the library of Heather Slade.
Grinded was well-written with an interesting plot, and I loved Pia and Miles. Their story was another great addition to The Invincibles series. I can’t wait for Rile’s story!
