Where there’s SMOKE, there’s fire… out,
She leaves without a trace.
But when she’s in danger,
I’ll move mountains to get her back.
SIREN
He lied.
He played me
He broke me.
I refuse to stick around,
And be his fool.
He may be strong, rugged, and perfect,
But this SIREN waits for no man’s call.
He may have lit my fire,
But no amount of SMOKE can rekindle this smolder.

These two are true heroes!
Wow! What an opening! Wounded by a gunshot to the head while on a mission (events described in Riled), Siren is just waking up in the hospital with her team partner, Smoke, by her side. These two have such a contentious connection that their one night on a beach was just a fleeting anomaly in an otherwise bitter, hate-fueled relationship. Except that their one beautiful night is the only thing Siren can remember, and believing they’re in love is the only thing giving her the strength to put her life back together. Smoke plays along and arranges for her care at his ranch, knowing that as soon as her memory returns the animosity will be right behind it.
This first part was so beautifully written! It honestly gave me goosebumps to watch these two act like they’re in love, especially when one wasn’t acting. Of course, soon neither is. Then the hammer drops, and all bets are off.
The second part really amps up the action as Siren deals with her returning memories and Smoke accepts a seemingly unrelated assignment in Paris. This nail-biting part really drives home the lessons learned back on his ranch while addressing all the various stages of their history throughout their time together. I was truly impressed by how the author wrapped up various story threads, more than I even knew were left dangling. The attention to detail is so precise that I’d bet the author’s notes on these series is thousands of pages deep.
I loved the unexpected (but entirely appropriate) twist that brings about their HEA. I also loved the way the author brought in various characters across her K19/Invincibles world to show the real community at the heart of these companies and their operatives. I think this is my favorite book yet from this author. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Book 5 of the Invincibles is the story of Smoke and Siren, and the best one yet ! There is nothing simple in this story with plenty of twists and turns, steamy relationship and plenty of action and intrigue.. You will love the K19/ Invincible series!!

I absolutely fell in love with this pair. Something about them connected with me from the first page, well, aside from being an intensely harrowing rescue scene and not knowing the outcome. Keep reading, it gets even more … just everything.
Smoke, an independent operative, hires out to agencies like K19 and the Invincibles, not because he needs the money. Oh no, this perfectly seasoned Hot specimen is mega rich, and get this; he owns a huge ranch in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee called the Blazing T. Hah, love the play on words here already.
Smoke, however, is still unsettled, even more so after their last mission that went south for Siren and the pain in his side, now at his side, suffers from memory loss which may or may not return … ever. The good, or bad, nah it’s all good, to come out of this has Siren believing they are and have been lovers in love. What a sexy conundrum, and it all escalates as Siren works to retrieve those precious memories. Things get twisted out of context and Siren makes a hasty, cover-her-tracks retreat back to her old boss at IMI in Ireland.
The past rears itself up in the perfect way this author is so very skilled at, spectacular, twisted, and mind boggling how intricately detailed all the dots start connecting. It also comes to light there are still some who want that past to stay hidden right along with the legendary Irish Crown Jewels. Go ahead, look it up, this part is true, and my mind is wowed again.
I couldn’t put this down until I got that bonus HEA with an awww, and happy tears.
An engaging fast-paced read to keep you guessing, hoping, and feeling all the feels on every page. The connection was instant for me, the storyline was just fantastic, and their Heat was scorching.
A def recommend from me.
This is the fifth book in this series but can be read as a standalone.
If you love suspense drama with romance than this book is definitely
one I would grab.
Strong plot and characters with plenty of depth.

Heather Slade continues to create the most intriguing characters and Smoked fits the bill! Although each of her stories are stand-alones, her characters from past stories appear and each is worth the read! Love the tension in this romantic drama!

This is the 5th book in The Invincibles Series and it doesn’t let you down. It is a action packed read with amnesia, secrets, danger, suspense, surprises, twist and turns and discovering their true feelings for each other. There’s not much more you could want in a book or series for that matter. This is Smoke & Siren’s story. This can be read as a stand alone so when you read you will be taken on fantastic roller coaster ride. Enjoy

Smoked is book 5 in the Invincible’s Series it is Smoke and Sirens story. Both Siren and Smoke work in intelligence. Siren works for the IMI (Irish Military Intelligence) and Smoke worked for the CIA, but now freelances. They both possess very quick tempered and angry dispositions. They were paired together on a mission in which Siren was severely injured. Each story in this series has been amazing. The storyline just grabs ahold of you, grabs your heart and refuses to let go until the very last word is read. The characters are believable, lovable and you can’t help but sit on the edge of your seat rooting for them in all their endeavors. The chemistry between Smoke and Siren is completely off the charts hot! The story is filled to the brim with action, secrets, danger, suspense, surprises, twists and turns, amnesia, love, and denial. It’s like each book in this series deserves at least one maybe more stars than the previous book before it. I absolutely cannot wait for book #6 BUCKED. This is a series in my library that I will read several times over again. IT!! I received an Advance Reader’s Copy and am voluntarily leaving my honest thoughts and opinions.
This was a really great book engaging characters and a well developed plot. I really enjoyed It and would recommend it to all!!

OMG. What a fantastic read. Siren and Smoke light up the sky! Secrets and lies, recovery from injuries, moving forward. These two characters are so interesting and this story proves that there is a thin line between love and hate. What I also loved about this story is that we catch up with a number of characters from previous books, especially Decker Ashford! Every time I read one of Heather Slade’s books, I realize why I fell in love with her writing. Her prose are crisp, her characters interesting, there is intrigue, suspense, and I hate to put the book down! Wonderful read!
Holy. Freaking. Crap.
This Book is Fan-Freaking-tastic
I loved everything about it – the characters, the plot, the emotion, the writing!

Great Angsty romance with an interesting espionage story.
A very good story with complicated characters. I really liked how the story had suspense and intrigue. I thought the characters were fantastic together and I loved the fast pace of the story.
I requested a copy of this book so I could provide an honest review.
This is a fast paced story this is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. It’s the story of Smoke and Siren together they were amazing and well written with a well developed story line that I loved reading. Smoke was with the CIA, but now freelances, and Siren works for the Irish Military Intelligence. They are paired up for a mission and they are attracted to each other. It’s intense at times between them and there’s twists and turns for them to get to their happy ever after but I loved this story and can’t wait to read more.

Smoke and Siren are intelligence operatives from the U.S. and Ireland. Working together on a mission, then she gets hurt and loses certain parts of her memory. Smoke tries to help her, and at the same time, the masterminds of trouble are still at it. The characters are terrific, with so much history and emotions. The suspense, intrigue, twists and deceptions keep the pages turning. The romance that once was, starts to slowly start up again. Surprises and revelations will change their outcome, along with figuring out who the real culprit is. The ending will bring a few tears to your eyes.

This is book 5 in The Invincibles series and it features Siren and Smoke. When they say it’s a thin line between love and hate, I’m pretty sure they were talking about these two. The action and adventure was constant. The misunderstandings are on-point. The steam filled attraction was off-the-charts HOT! There were a couple different story lines that at times ran into each other.
There’s a lot to follow, as is the norm in this author’s AMAZING stories. In the end, most of it comes together and if it doesn’t, that just gives you thoughts for the next book. FABULOUS read!
A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. A quick read you just don’t want to put down. A mission that doesn’t go as planned taking Smoke and Siren from London back to the States then back to London. I was surprised how easy the story flowed but keep you interested from the beginning to the end.
Solid 4.5 star
I loved how this is part of the Invincible series but both both Smoke and Siren are part of the team … yet hopefully!! Smoke and Siren really are a clash of will and feelings and with how it starts you don’t know if what Smoke holds back is right or wrong and then when the twists starting coming you are trying to guess what exactly is going on or which way things will go next. There is loads of attraction, fiery clashed, doubts, secrets, family history revealed as well as plenty of people you don’t know if you can trust along with the hope that finally Smoke and Siren will take on board what Uncle Gene and Ms Wynona already know!
