FAST BURN Synopsis:
For the woman who’s his perfect match, he’s willing to break the rules…
The moment Brand Berry meets beautiful, driven Sahara Silver, the connection between them is electric. It’s also something he can’t pursue. Sahara wants him, sure—to join Body Armor, where his MMA skills, size, and cocky attitude make him perfect for her elite crew of bodyguards. For Sahara, the agency always comes first, and Brand needs more. Yet when she’s kidnapped by men searching for her missing brother, he doesn’t hesitate.
Somewhere along the way, flirting with Brand for the sake of business turned very personal. Despite his refusal to join Body Armor, it’s Brand who steps up when she needs him most. Now there’s no more time for games, and no point denying the hunger they both feel. They’ll escape together or not at all. But if they survive, can Sahara finally surrender control to claim this blazing passion?

“Sahara?” Brand prompted.
She wished she hadn’t worn her hair in her usual classic updo. With her nape exposed, the heat of his breath sent swirling sensations to riot in her belly.
Brazening her way through the awkward moment, she flapped a hand and admitted, “I might have been a little nosy.”
“And a little opinionated?”
“Maybe just a smidge.” His closeness made her edgy, so she again moved away, very casually in hopes that he wouldn’t know he had her on the run. “After that job, I was a lobby receptionist.”
“Fired from the elevator job, or was it a promotion?”
Damn him, did he really have such a low opinion of her? Maybe he didn’t like her. That was something she’d never considered. She got along great with the other bodyguards who were all friends with Brand.
Or…did they feel the same way, too? Did they humor her in person while resenting her the rest of the time?
Disliking that possibility, she paused near her desk and, doing her best to keep the frown off her face, said, “A lateral move, actually.”
“Uh-huh. Did Scott tell you that?”
Scott had told her to quit harassing the clients—but she didn’t feel like sharing that part. Although, seeing Brand’s expression, she’d bet he already assumed as much. He seemed to know her too well.
Better than anyone else, in fact.
“Scott told me he wanted me to experience every facet of the business.”
“But you were never a bodyguard.”
She took pleasure in saying, “Yes, I was.”
Now Brand frowned, and she loved how intimidating he looked. He’d make an ideal bodyguard if only he’d realize it.
“Bullshit.”
She tsked at the crude language, her idea of a reprimand. “Scott taught me to shoot. I’m actually pretty good at it.”
“I’ve never seen you practice.”
“Here, with my employees? Of course not.” She had to maintain some mystique. “Scott owned his own range elsewhere and now it’s mine.”
“Where?”
She smiled. “It’s private.”
He countered with “Protecting a client isn’t always about shooting.”
“No, it’s mostly about intelligent decisions, good planning and quick thinking.” She let her gaze dip over him. “It’s one reason I thought you would do so well at the job.”
“Me, yes. But you?” His long strong fingers circled her upper arm. “You’re brilliant, Sahara, so no problem there.”
The assurance that he didn’t consider her stupid would have been nice, except that the moment he’d touched her, her thinking faltered. So did her breathing. And her heartbeat.
“Fast Burn” is the fourth and final book in the romantic suspense series Body Armor by Lori Foster and it’s just amazing.
Sahara and Brand, the two protagonists are both compelling as characters, with dominant personalities, tough, but they are full of passion and when they’re together in the same room sparks fly.
Sahara is a real challenge for Brand and I loved their chemistry.
Since her brother mysteriously disappear Sahara took his place leading his private security agency, making some changes, and choosing as bodyguards gourgeous former MMA fighters, prepared for every kind of situation when they must protect their clients from danger, but they also look very very hot.
In the previous books we met Leese, Justice and Mikes and I really enjoyed their books.
With Fast Burn, however, we are at the next level. It’s perfect.
Sahara is one of the most intriguing female protagonists I’ve read about lately. Determined, always used to take charge of things and lead dictating the rules, she’s also fearless, smart and with nerves of steel in every situation. For some time she’s pursuing Brand, hoping to convince him to join her other men, but his answer is always “no thanks”.
He is an excellent MMA fighter, with a sharp mind and hot, and has no intention of giving in to the temptation of Sahara’s job.
Between them there is a strong attraction, they can’t hide it, they tease each other, but Brand prefers to keep control of the situation avoiding mixing together work and pleasure. For him, Sahara is special, he would like something more between them, but he is not so sure for Sahara it’s just a game to have her way with him and the agency. Then they should face the question “who-rule-who-and-when”.
Everything changes when Sahara is kidnapped by a group of men and asks for Brand’s help.
I really enjoyed this part of the story, the mystery about the disappearance of Sahara’s brother deepens even more, bringing to light a lot of questions about him.
Even with her kidnappers Sahara doesn’t change attitude, she’s incredible, and surprises everyone with her skills, she’s a real MacGyver on heels, leaving Brand speachless. Protecting her will be a hard task for him.
Because of their forced cohabitation it’s no longer possible for them to hide what they’re feeling and they have the chance to see aspects of each other they didn’t know, like discovering Brand’s past for Sahara.
The plot is well written, skilfully alternating romance between the two protagonists and everything that happens around them, keeping a fast pace, thanks to the action scenes and the enigma about the identity of the kidnappers, but above all their motivations.
It’s a wonderful series to read, engaging, and the beautiful covers are definitely eye candy!!! How can you even think Sahara to keep up with him? And yet she can do it, and they are great together!

Per la donna che è la sua compagna perfetta, è disposto a infrangere le regole …
Nel momento in cui Brand Berry incontra la bellissima e determinata Sahara la connessione tra di loro è folgorante. È anche qualcosa a cui lui non può cedere. Sahara lo vuole, certo… vuole che faccia parte della Body Armor, dove le sue abilità di combattente di MMA, la sua prestanza fisica e la sua attitudine arrogante lo renderebbero perfetto per il suo gruppo di guardie del corpo d’èlite. Per Sahara, l’agenzia viene sempre prima di tutto, e Brand vuole di più. Tuttavia, quando viene rapita da uomini alla ricerca del fratello scomparso, Brand non ha nessuna esitazione.
A un certo punto lungo la strada, flirtare con Brand per motivi di lavoro si è trasformato in qualcosa di più personale. Nonostante il suo rifiuto a unirsi alla Body Armor, è Brand a farsi avanti quando lei ne ha più bisogno. Adesso non c’è più tempo per giocare, e non ha senso negare il desiderio che provano entrambi. O riusciranno a fuggire insieme oppure niente. Ma se sopravviveranno, Sahara riuscirà finalmente a cedere il controllo e a rivendicare questa ardente passione?
“Fast Burn” è il quarto e ultimo libro della serie romantic suspense “Body Armor” di Lori Foster e ne è la conclusione strepitosa.
Sahara e Brand i protagonisti sono entrambi due personaggi carismatici, con personalità dominanti, forti, ma sono anche molto passionali e quando sono insieme nella stessa stanza fanno sempre scintille.
Sahara è una continua sfida per Brand e ho amato l’alchimia presente tra di loro.
Sahara, da quando il fratello è misteriosamente scomparso, ha preso il suo posto alla guida della agenzia di sicurezza privata Body Armor, alla quale, però, ha voluto apportare alcuni cambiamenti, scegliendo di assumere come guardie del corpo ex lottatori di MMA, preparati a proteggere i propri clienti di fronte a ogni tipo di pericolo, ma che hanno anche la caratteristica di avere un aspetto molto, molto hot.
Nei libri precedenti abbiamo incontrato Leese, Justice e Miles e mi erano piaciuti molto.
Con “Fast Burn” però siamo a un livello superiore: la perfezione.
Sahara è una delle protagoniste femminili più intriganti di cui abbia letto ultimamente. Determinata, sempre abituata ad avere il controllo delle cose e pronta a dettare le regole, sprezzante del pericolo, sempre molto lucida e fredda in ogni occasione che le si presenti. Da tempo sta facendo ” il filo” a Brand, sperando di convincerlo a unirsi agli altri suoi uomini, ma lui ha sempre pronto per lei un bel: no grazie.
Anche lui è un ottimo lottatore di MMA, sveglio e molto sexy, ma non ha nessuna intenzione di cedere alle allettanti proposte di lavoro di Sahara.
Tra di loro è presente una forte attrazione, si stuzzicano e si provocano, ma Brand preferisce mantenere il controllo della situazione, evitando di mischiare insieme lavoro e piacere. Per lui Sahara è speciale, vorrebbe qualcosa di più tra di loro, ma non è sicuro che Sahara provi la stessa cosa, teme che per lei sia solo un gioco per ottenere quello che vuole. Poi comunque dovrebbero affrontare la questione del “chi-comanda-quando”, visto che nessuno dei due è abituato a cedere.
Tutto cambia quando Sahara viene rapita da un gruppo di uomini e chiede aiuto a Brand.
Mi è piaciuta molto questa parte della storia: il mistero sulla scomparsa del fratello di Sahara si infittisce ancora di più, portando alla luce un sacco di domande su di lui.
Anche di fronte ai suoi rapitori Sahara non cambia atteggiamento, è incredibile, e sorprende tutti con le sue capacità, tanto da sembrare una piccola McGuyver in gonnella, lasciando allibito lo stesso Brand. Per lui tentare di proteggerla sarà un compito molto duro.
A causa di questa loro convivenza forzata non è più possibile nascondere quello che provano realmente, e con l’occasione hanno anche la possibilità di vedere e conoscere aspetti l’uno dell’altra che erano rimasti nascosti, come per Sahara scoprire il passato di Brand.
È una storia scritta molto bene, che alterna in modo sapiente la parte romance tra i due protagonisti e tutto ciò che accade intorno a loro, mantenendo un ritmo incalzante, grazie alle scene ricche di azione e l’enigma legato all’identità dei rapitori, ma soprattutto alle loro motivazioni.
È una bellissima serie da leggere, la consiglio e poi devo dire che anche l’occhio ha la sua parte con le splendide cover dei libri. Brand… come può anche solo pensare Sahara di tenergli testa? Eppure lo fa, e sono favolosi insieme!
