Forged
in Fire
“Lady, if I were you, I’d get the hell away from here ‘cause when I make it up this hill, I’m gonna be looking for you.” Lucky Coalson’s luck has run out. His ex-wife turned out to be a con artist; his business is in a shambles; and he’s been tossed into a muddy river by a smart assed feminist with a chip on her shoulder. Things couldn’t get much worse…or so he thought.
When Lucky’s accused of murdering his ex-wife, the Coalson
family enlists the help of a private investigator to gather the clues necessary
to prove his innocence. Little did they know that Renee Morgan is the same
woman that sent Lucky scrambling up a sodden river bank at the height of a
storm.
The two square off immediately, but Renee’s admiration of
the Coalson family, despite her dislike of Lucky, is the deciding factor in her
acceptance of the job. And although Lucky bristles every time she speaks, he
grudgingly respects her intelligence and savvy skills as a private investigator.
As the hunt for the killer escalates, the two find they are
not the only ones looking for the mysterious assassin. And the other people are
more than willing to take out anyone that gets in their way, including those
that Lucky and Renee hold dear to their hearts.
In a moment of passion that rocks them to the core, they
realize their love may be forged in fire, but both have been badly burned by
past lovers, and too stubborn to admit the truth. Can they find a way
around their fears, or will Lucky’s ex-wife continue to plague him from the
grave?
Review
5 stars
Forged in Fire is book 5 in the Tempered Steel series and while it can
be read on it's own I highly recommend reading this series from the
beginning. There's so much your missing out on if you don't!!
I love the Coalson's, have since book one so I had high hope's for Lucky's story and the author exceeded them.
Lucky & Renee despise each other, the if I could get away with strangling you I would kind of dislike.
They rubbed each other the wrong way from their first meeting so when Lucky's accused of murder and his parents hire a private investigator to help him he's more than shocked to see Renee is that person.
It's a good thing she has so much respect for his family, otherwise she may have given up on his stubborn ass early on. But knowing the family and the kind of people they are she's sure Lucky's innocent, and the more she gets to know him she is certain he's been setup.
There's a chemistry between these two, one they both ignore. She ignores it simply because he's a client and he because he's an emotionless shell after the hell his ex-wife put him through.
Working side by side is bound to wear on them, but when it does will it be the chemistry that gets them or their disgust with each other?
I loved how strong Renee was, I'm the reader that can't stand book after book filled with whiny heroines who can't tie their own shoes. I love an independent woman and that's what Renee is. She's self sufficient, great at her job and Lucky with his alpha behavior hits her wrong from the word go which makes for some interesting banter between the characters.
And Lucky, he's a Coalson so your guaranteed to either love him at first meeting or have him worm his way into your heart, even when he's being a jerk you still have to love him!!
He's going through a ton of crap and luckily he doesn't turn to drinking or anything else to dull the pain, he fights and he doesn't give up until he wins.
A great family full of unconditional love, friends who would do anything for them, tons of suspense, a fast paced story that's well written and will hook you from the beginning. That's just some of what you can expect with Forged in Fire, but there's also a pretty great love story weaved into all that!
Another home run for Maggie Adams and the Tempered Steel series.
