Title: Fuel for Fire
Author: Julie Ann Walker
Publication Date: July 4, 2017
Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca
Blurb from the Book: Dagan Zoelner has made three huge mistakes. The first two left blood on his hands. The third left him wondering…what if? What if
he had told the woman of his dreams how he felt before his world fell apart?
Spitfire CIA agent Chelsea Duvall has always had a thing for bossy,
brooding Dagan. It’s just as well that
he’s never given her a second look, since she carries a combustible secret
about his past that threatens to torch their lives.
Review:
Fuel for Fire has action, romance, and… the potential for
a future male/male romance novel by Julie Ann Walker? One can only speculate, but I’m sure rooting
for it. Moving on from that titillating
possibility, Fuel for Fire is another
winner by Mrs. Walker. Until now I
thought my favorite characters were Becky and Frank from In Rides Trouble, but I’m starting to think that the tides might be
turning towards Dagan and Chelsea.
I’ve always had a thing for men with unique names, so it makes sense
that Dagan would be my new fictional crush.
What doesn’t make sense is that fact that I married a ‘Robert’. I still can’t get over that one. Dagan is not the smoothest talker in the
romance novel world. In fact, he tends
to bungle most conversations and he has absolutely no idea how to compliment a
woman, but he’s rugged and sexy and in need of a little bit of feminine touch.
Chelsea is exactly the woman Dagan needs. I loved that she was unique and independent
and powerful, but not without weakness.
She speaks her mind. She’s loves
herself, but has plenty of love left for those around her. I wanted to become Chelsea.
There’s chemistry between these two that’s out of this world (evidenced by some scenes that will make your
blood boil in the very best way). The
verbal sparring is witty and hilarious, but the real action happens when the
talking stops. The first sex scene in Fuel for Fire is one for the books…
literally. You’re going to reread it
over and over and over again and it’ll only get better and better.
My favorite part of this book (and boy, was it hard to choose) is
honestly probably the secondary characters Mrs. Walker has focused on in Fuel for Fire. Christian and Emily and Ace and Rusty. They’re some of her most brilliant characters
yet and I cannot wait to see where she takes them. Sometimes when I’m in between sex scenes or
fights in books I find myself a little bored and wondering when the next bit of
action will come. In Fuel for Fire there’s never a boring
moment. Everything is amazing. Every little bit.
