Lori Foster pulled off a rare feat in this story- she created Sahara, a female character who is strong and assertive without being abrasive, impetuous without being stupid, sexy without the over-the-top sex seen in other books.

Sahara is the boss in the Body Armor series, the engaging stories about the bodyguards hired for their sex appeal as well as their abilities. If you haven’t read those books, I encourage you to do so. Do it now while their personas are fresh in your mind. Sahara makes a definite impression in those books even though she is a supporting character. In Fast Burn, she finally has her own story.

Brand is an MMA fighter who Sahara is trying to recruit for her Body Armor business. In Brand, Foster has created a character who is in control of himself and tries to do the right things even though he wants to give Sahara what she wants. And again, just as with Sahara, this is a written character who can be admired for the way he handles himself.

I am assuming this is the series end, but I don’t know for certain. The on-going mystery of what happened to Sahara’s brother is solved. We meet up with all the characters from past books in the series.

Fast Burn is recommended 100%. Enjoy!

Brand and Sahara are great together and I like that he gets to see the softer side of her. I love their compromise on who gets to be the boss. :) Brand is my favorite hero of the Body Armor series. Lori Foster definitely saved the best for last! Fast Burn is the perfect ending to the series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary Advance Reader Copy.

Sahara Silver runs Body Armor in her missing brothers' absence, and she tends to hire ex-MMA fighters both for their strength and beauty (!). Brand Berry meets her while tagging along with his brother fighters, and there's a huge spark between them. She wants to both hire him and sleep with him; he hasn't decided yet if he's going to continue fighting but in the meantime acts as her personal bodyguard. She gets kidnapped, he rescues her - several times. The result is electric!

I received an ARC for an honest review. I also hope this isn't the end of the Body Armor series!!

As far as this book go, I was pretty disappointed in Lori Foster, but to me this whole series was not good, so I can move to her other books. I don't know what didn't sound right but it seems that the whole book was centered on ridiculous characters making wrong choices,

Questo libro, come anche il primo della serie che non ho mai finito, non mi é proprio piaciuto, quindi generalizzerei all'intera serie che per fortuna é finita cosí Lori Foster puó concentrarsi su qualcosa di meglio di una serie di ridicoli personaggi che fanno scelte sbagliate....

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I really enjoyed this conclusion to the Body Armor series. All of these heroes have been around since the prior Ultimate series, and I loved seeing them come into their own as bodyguards, after prior careers as MMA fighters.

Brand Berry is still an active fighter with the SBC: the best, most famous MMA fighting organization. However, he's been debating retiring after he's had some familial obligations pop up that he wasn't expecting, with his biological mother's health. He has also been considering going to work at the Body Armor bodyguard agency, with his 3 best friends. The boss certainly wants to hire him. She's been courting him for months. The problem is, he doesn't want to work for Sahara, he just plain wants her.

Sahara Silver owns the Body Armor agency, and she's made it a premier operation that is beyond reproach. She inherited the agency from her much older brother, Scott, after he was presumed dead while out on his yacht. However, Sahara doesn't believe Scott's actually dead, and she hasn't given up looking for him. She has a PI on retainer tracking down every possible lead, and she won't give up until she finds him. Meanwhile, however, she has made the agency her own, and hired great people, especially her most recent acquisitions, 3 former MMA stars. There's a fourth man who's been playing hard to get, Brand. But she's determined to have him, one way or another.

Brand and Sahara's chemistry was fantastic, and I loved the witty banter between them. Sahara was quite an awesome and strong heroine, and I loved how she didn't really NEED Brand looking out for her, but decided she liked it anyway. Brand was still waffling on being a bodyguard, but when Sahara is kidnapped he has no hesitation about rescuing her, and keeping her safe from there on out. They really complemented each other well, even though they both really like being the boss, which caused more than a few issues between them.

The suspense plot in this book just wasn't as exciting for me as the prior ones have been, and I'm not sure why exactly. I can't pinpoint my issue with it, it just didn't strike me as suspenseful as the prior stories had been. That being said, I still enjoyed that aspect of the plot, and I loved the characters so much, that it didn't overly affect anything for me.

I love all of the side characters in this series, including the other Body Armor guards and their ladies from the prior books. I love seeing them all still happy and together after their stories have been told. The 4 guys really are great friends, and I love the dynamic between them. I also enjoyed getting to know more about Brand and his family situation. His parents were wonderful, and I loved that bit of background for him. I've been excited to learn more about Sahara from back in book 1 when she was introduced, and I loved what I learned of her in this story. Brand and Sahara really worked well together, and I loved her whole approach to her life and her business, and how she wasn't afraid of going after everything she wanted with Brand.

Overall this was a great addition to the series, and a very well done conclusion. I look forward to the next series from this author, which I'm sure will be fantastic, as always.

Lori Foster has once again enthralled this reader. She gave me page after page of intrigue, friendship and romance and I didn't want to put this book down.
Although I don't want to say goodbye to these characters, Fast Burn is the perfect exclamation point on the Body Armor series.
I received an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review

How I loved this series! I knew Sahara's story was going to be a good one. You got to see glimpses of Sahara's character and her interactions with Brand in the previous books, but you could read this as a standalone. Why would you want to though? These MMA-turned-bodyguards are HOT! Quite a few twists in the plot to keep it interesting, but not too much to take away from the romance. I loved Sahara's take-charge attitude even when you knew she'd had enough. And Ms. Foster's typical alpha hero protector hero - Brand is just who she needed to lean on, just a little bit. Sorry to see this series come to an end, but looking forward to more books from Lori Foster!

Rating 4.5 Stars.

Lori Foster is so consistent. Consistently good! I’ve loved Sahara since the first book in the Body Armor series. I couldn’t wait for her story. She’s sassy, strong and still so sweet. She’s a phenomenal boss and friend. Of course, being strong sometimes comes off as unapproachable but Brand is strong and confident and not at all worried about going after Sahara. She’s pursuing him relentlessly to join her firm but he’s just as determined to get her in his bed and life.

Of course, there’s a lot of tension as well. Sahara is under attack. Brand steps up to be her personal body guard day and night. The situation seems to suit both their goals but who will get what they want? Foster does a fabulous job creating lots of intrigue and nail biting action. Who’s after Sahara? Is Scott, her long missing and presumed dead brother, back?

I love Brand. He’s sexy and kind behind all his strength and his cocky attitude. I’ll admit, I was almost jealous of Sahara. Brand is my kind of guy. Which, of course, made the book that much more fun!

I never doubt that reading Foster is going to give me the equal parts of romance and mystery that I love. Fast Burn was all that and even more enjoyable than the first three books in the series, all of which I’ve loved.

Fast Burn is the new release in Lori Fosters "Body Armor" series. I really liked this series and I couldn't wait to read Sahara's story. This was a really sweet story and I loved Brand and Sahara together, Lori Foster always includes this bit of humor into her books that I love and it was really great to see how attracted Brand and Sahara were to each other, but do to family baggage they were both holding back until they couldn't keep away. Sahara is such a great character, she's smart and strong, but she is also very girly and funny in her way of seeing things and Brand is a very sweet and strong character!

This was a good romantic story, and the suspense is good. I would have liked to have seen more resolution with the brother.

Another excellent Lori Foster book. I really thought that it was going to get a little D/s there for a second but she didn't take it that far. Though it would have been interesting if she had.

Brand and Sahara are dynamite together. Both are alphas and used to getting their way and this book helped getting know Sahara in a whole new way. great book

Fast Burn is Sahara’s turn at a chance for true love. But with her brother Scott still missing, she focuses everything she has on finding him while trying to lure Brand Berry to join her group of Body Armor bodyguards. Somewhere along the way, luring him into the company takes a backseat to the attraction they have for each other. With the enemy getting closer and Sahara is kidnapped, all Brand knows is he must rescue his girl.
A great book in a great series with a five-star recommendation.

Well, Lori Foster has done it again. She added an amazing story to end this wonderful series. Finally, we get Sahara's love story and Brand was the perfect hero for her. A total sigh worthy read with lots of kick ass action. I was gripped with all the action, mystery, and suspense in this story that when I finished it I immediately went back to reread it again. And it was just as great the second time around. It was just that good. I highly recommend this book. My heart is still racing from everything in this story. The steamy sex scenes, the action and the fun banter between the characters. Loved every moment. I especially loved how strong and smart Sahara was and how Brand loved her just the way she was. *happy sigh*

*I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book*

ARC received for review

Hi, it's me. The one who hasn't read the first three books in this series. The only thing that was really explained from the start was his weird family, so I'm guessing it was in one of the previous books. It was talked about like everyone should know it already.

Overall, I loved Brand and Sahara. They were so hot together. I loved their interactions not only with each other, but also with the rest of the team (really makes me wish I had read their books). The brother and bad guys were a piece of work.

Lori Foster delivers on her Body Armor series. We have the main Woman of the company trying to get our guy to join the agency. She flirts, teases but is very serious about wanting him on board. Our Guy is alpha all the way and likes to be in control...so the back and forth between the two is a challenge... But then she needs his help and he is there for her...
A strong read from Foster.

“Fast Burn” by Lori Foster is the fourth and final book in the Body Armor series.

We first met Sahara Silver in book one (“Under Pressure”). In “Fast Burn” we finally get to know the truth about her brother, Scott, the original owner of the Body Armor Agency after Sahara’s life is put in danger.
We also get to watch as Sahara tries to talk Brand Berry into becoming a bodyguard, except Brand has other plans. Namely, Sahara herself. Their interest in one another became apparent in “Close Contact” and now it flares to life.

Brand is adamant at being in charge of their relationship since he hasn’t agreed to work for Sahara. Like all Ms. Foster’s heroes, Brand is the quintessential alpha-protector, not only toward Sahara and making sure whoever is after her doesn’t get too close again, but toward his parents as well. With them, we see more than just the MMA fighter slash protector.
Sahara is fierce and independent and learns she doesn’t have to be in charge all the time.

With the romance between Sahara and Brand flaming hot and with Sahara’s life in danger from a motley crew of thugs, “Fast Burn” has more twists than a country road and keeps you guessing until the final chapter.
Ms. Foster has done a fantastic job in concluding the Body Armor series.

The final book in the Body Armor series. Sahara is kidnapped and MMA fighter Brand comes to her rescue. ARC from NetGalley.

Fast burn is the fourth book in the series by Lori Foster. I have been a fan of her writing for so many years and honestly she can do no wrong! I find that even if the story isn't 100% fresh- Lori is able to hold my interest and I finish the book no matter what. I think that says something special about Lori as an author!

I couldn't help myself and read this one really early! But I know a Lori Foster book can always suck me in if I'm in a slump :)

This is another great book in the Body Armor series. Brand and Sahara are great characters that pull together when things go awry.
