I really enjoyed this book. Faith was a great character, easy to relate to. I liked Mark, although he wasn't perfect. The telepathy was an interesting way to spice up the story. It definitely has some hot and heavy moments, but they just leave you convinced Mark and Faith are meant to be. I liked that the suspense was there but the story still maintained humor. The Phoenix Agency seems very intriguing!

Jungle Inferno by Desiree Holt was the first book of this author that I read.The story was gripping,different and interesting,It was fascinating to see this telepathic communication that Faith and Mark had,I have never seen something like that,but unfortunately I wasn't so keen on their love story,I had trouble connecting on a emotional level with them.

I would definitely recommend Jungle inferno. ☆☆☆☆☆ rating.

I wasn't sure what to think when I first started reading this book, but boy, oh boy, did I end up loving it!
It was a mixture of adventure, suspense, and a little erotica thrown in. A perfect blend to keep the story going. It kept me on edge trying to figure it all out, and I loved all the action that was written in.
The connection the two main characters had is played out through mind thoughts, and you just want to hope that the ending will be as satisfying as you hope.

A really good read this is a fantastic start to a new series and i cannot wait for the next one a super book by a great author this book will suck you in and you wont want to put it down.It was well written with a super story line and characters you cant help but like would recommend to all.

Jungle Inferno is a great read from Desiree Holt.
Jungle Inferno is book 1 of the Phoenix Agency Series but can be read as a standalone.....


Faith and Mark have been friends since they were children. They have been able to "talk" telepathically since they were teenagers. They each realised that they were more than friends but neither wanted to lose their friendship.
They share one night and it changes how they feel about each other.

Mark and his team are ambushed and he is taken prisoner, Faith begins to get a connection to him, she is desperate to go rescue him and bring him home.
She uses all her resources in her bid to bring her friend home.

Can she reach anyone who can help her track Mark in time? Will she even be taking seriously considering she is a romantic novelist?

It's a great introduction to the world of Phoenix, I do enjoy reading paranormal, and add in mystery I'm hooked.

I love the characters. Faith and Mark's story has bits of paranormal, humor, drama and action, and even the secondary characters are complex and interesting.
I can't wait to read more from this talented writer!

I look forward to the rest of the books in the series 😀

What an intriguing new series!!!

Faith and Mark have been friends since they were children. They have been able to "talk" telepathically since they were teenagers. They each realised that they were more than friends but neither wanted to lose their friendship. But eventually all the tension came to a head and they had one magical night as young adults. many years later they have a weekend rendezvous but again are torn apart by their commitments and their wariness of losing their friendship.

But when Mark and his team are ambushed and he is taken prisoner, Faith begins to have flashes of contact with him. She pulls out all the stops in her bid to find him and return him home. She even ropes in her aunt and TLC to aid her. But she also manages to step on some toes, attached to those involved in Mark's confinement and torture. Can she reach anyone who can help her track Mark in time? Will she even be taking seriously considering she is a romantic novelist?

Great introduction to the world of Phoenix, all ex military personnel with a lot to offer to the world. I love cloak and dagger spy novels and this had a great twist by including telepathic powers! I really loved Faith and Mark and their very real love affair, stretched over decades. It's just a shame that neither was willing to make the jump into romance earlier.

3 1/2 Stars.......

Jungle Inferno is an interesting story and not what readers would usually expect from Desiree Holt, as this book has more of a romantic thriller feel to it, rather than the typical erotic romance vibe.

While the story took a little bit to get going, it was well written and worth sticking it out till the end. I’m keen to see where the series is heading.

This is the first in Phoenix agency series.
Faith and Mark have been friends for many years but their telepathic connection is what holds them strong. He is missing after his team is ambushed and she is the only one who can help him.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

3.5 Stars

This book did a good job of keeping the heat up, even though Mark and Faith were apart for most of the book. They communicated telepathically while Mark was held prisoner in the Peruvian Jungle.

Interesting world with the introduction of The Phoenix Agency and I am looking forward to more books in the series.

Lots of suspense. Lots of rooting for the good guys. The relationship between Mark and Faith makes you believe that anything is possible. The guys of Phoenix show the meaning of standing by family. Not just he family you're born with but also the family you choose. Looking forward to the next book.

This is Book 1 in The Phoenix Agency series. Mark is in deep, serious trouble, worse than he’s ever been in before. His Special Ops team has been ambushed and killed while he’s been captured and tortured. There’s a telepathic connection between him and Faith, the love of his life. This has everything you could ask for in a book! Hot sex, hot Alpha Special Ops men, terrorists, action, adventure, oh and did I mention the hot men?! How can you lose when all this is in one book? I can’t wait to read more books about the Phoenix Agency. I voluntarily chose to review a copy of this book that I received from Netgalley.

This is a good book, which I have to be honest the way it opened up I thought it was going to be erotica and not a romantic thriller, but I kept at it and how wrong I was. I'm telling you this so that you hang on if necessary to get through the rest of the book and to the action.

When Faith, who is a telepath gets a message from her childhood friend, Mark, who is also a telepath she is shocked at what she hears and what she feels.

When Mark asks for her help she is determined to find him and get him out of whatever situation he's in. And that puts her in extreme danger. She finally gets in touch with Phoenix and they help her.

This is a fantastic book and I will definitely be reading the series!

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

At points the story seemed to drag, partly because it kept going back to what happened between Faith and Mark in the past. Once Faith finally makes contact with Phoenix, the story got heated up fast. Just wish that there was more of Faith and Mark together after being rescued.

a totally unique and vibrant romance. Ms. Holt packs a punch with this one.
