Review: Tinderbox

✩✩✩✩✩

While working on the Horn of Africa, archaeologist Morgan Adler's work and life are threatened, forcing her to make a desperate dash to a nearby US military base to beg for protection. Green Beret Pax Blanchard has orders to intercept Dr. Adler before she reaches the base, and in so doing saves her life, but his responsibilities toward protecting the woman have only just begun. Morgan and Pax are forced to work together in the scorching desert heat, but it is the fire that ignites between them that threatens to consume them both. He protects her by day, but can he keep his hands off her when the sun goes down? One thing is certain, his job is no longer a matter of following orders, and he will risk everything to keep her safe.

Publication date: February 2017

Review: I came across this book purely by chance, and I almost passed it up since the last one I read by Rachel Grant left me a bit disappointed. I'm very glad I followed through, though, because Tinderbox is a great book, both from the romance and the suspense points of view. Lots of twists and turns kept me pretty much glued to the pages until the end.

 

 

 

 

In addition to that, the setting is original, as are the political and social issues discussed. I loved both characters, even if sometimes I wished they weren't rehashing the same things over and over again. 

In any case, if you love the genre, this is a book I very much recommend. It's also book one in the Flashpoint series by Rachel Grant, and I really want to read the following installments now, so stay tuned for more reviews coming soon.

Happy readings!
