​ROMANTIC SUSPENSE

Publication date: 01/18/2018
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

Y’all know I have some issues with romantic suspense. But Kaylea Cross is one of those rare romantic suspense authors who always gets it right, in my opinion. The balance between sexy times and real mortal danger in her books is always perfect, the plots are twisty enough to be interesting but not SO twisty that I’m confused, and the heroes are alpha without being alphaholes. There’s a reason why this author shows up so many times on our Friday “best of” lists, and her winning streak is more than upheld in Fast Fury. Here are the highlights:

First of all, Fast Fury stands alone nicely. So, if you haven’t read the rest of the books in the series, you can dive right into this one and not feel like you’re missing any key details. (Although I don’t know why you wouldn’t read the rest of the books. They’re delightful.)

Second of all, the hero’s Hawaiian heritage had me picturing Jason Momoa in my head while reading, and that’s never a bad thing.     

The heroine, Abby, was also very engaging. She wasn’t a perfect Barbie doll, and had insecurities, just like every other woman on the planet, but she didn’t let those insecurities hold her back or endanger her HEA. Abby went after what she wanted, and didn’t let anything get in her way. I totally admire that kind of chutzpah in romance heroines.  AND, when push came to shove (literally) towards the end of the book, she wasn’t a typical damsel in distress. She kicked ass! (Again, literally) #GirlPower #GirlsRule

Long-story-short, this is yet another fun, sexy, action-packed romantic suspense read in a long line of fun, sexy, action-packed romantic suspense reads from an author I’ve come to trust implicitly. Get to 1-clicking, folks. You won’t regret it. 

Full disclosure: I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

Does this book contribute to or help crush the romance stigma?
It’s clean and sober. No rehab needed.

Check out the author’s backlist. There’s tons of great stuff there. I particularly enjoyed Brody’s Vow and Absolution. ​​
