The twisted world of terrorism, CIA and governmental hypocrisy, lies and truth, is the bottom line and part of what will be the FUEL FOR FIRE in this edition of author Julie Ann Walker's Black Knight Inc. series.

Dagan Zoelner, Z to his friends, was fired after bad intel led to a blow out of a mission. He joined BKI because fighting the good fight is what he does. He knows he made mistakes but he wishes one of them had not involved Chelsea Duvall.

Chelsea is CIA and she is hiding a number of secrets. One being the truth behind Z's dismissal and that the higher powers knew but did nothing to protect him, only themselves. Another secret is her feelings for the broody handsome man and being liaison between their two groups is only making it harder for her to ignore those wants and desires. Because if she gives in then she will have to tell the truth and she knows he will walk away forever.

FUEL FOR FIRE is action-packed! There is no other way to put it. I felt as if I were on an emotional as well as physical and psychological roller coaster ride. So many secrets that have to come out and so much emotion to get through but the happily ever after does finally get there, but whoosh -- what a ride, Z and Chelsea are really perfect for each other in that they are both loyal and supportive of those that matter. She worked hard to keep her mother happily in her home and he for the country he loves and people who he feels belong to him. As it happened when the truth was spilled, Z reacted as she thought and she returns to her world broken-hearted, but of course that just won't do for our author so a little time and some good old-fashioned talking to helps him come to grips.

The dialogue between all the characters is realistic and easily shows the backgrounds and personalities of the different members of BKI. I felt as if I were there in the conversations and antics of the various people, because even in dire times, laughter is good. I loved Becky, the lollipop loving mechanic, who isn't afraid of pointing out a few home truths. The woman knows her machines and her people.

If you are looking for an action packed ride that will have you running through a gambit of emotions, love, laughter, anger, hurt, sweet and steamy then FUEL FOR FIRE is what you need.
