After her brother goes missing, Sahara Silver takes over the Body Armor Agency, with a little time and a lot of hard work she has managed to boost the business and little by little she has been able to add quite an elite group of men to the agency, all coming from the MMA world. Each man brings a special set of skills to the table, and all of them are good at what they do, but there is still one man missing from the team, Brand Berry, but he seems to want to play hard to get with the tough as nails leader. She has offered him a position with the team several times now, but he isn't so willing to walk away from the fighting world just yet, and she isn't so willing to take no for an answer, so she'll keep working on him and flirting with him, for the sake of business of course, to lure him in.

When her brother's past catches up to her, and Sahara Silver is kidnap by her brother's enemies, Brand Berry decides it's finally time to get involved with the Body Armor Agency... just not the way he wanted to. The mere thought of something happening to her unnerves him, he is determined to bring her home safely no matter the cost, and once he gets her back from her captors he isn't about to let them have a second chance at her, so he designates himself her personal bodyguard. And he takes his job very seriously, he is fully prepared to guard every single inch of her...

In this final installment in the Body Armor series you will get a deeper glimpse into the life of Sahara, the amazing heroine who runs the show, and Brand, the man who manages to steal her heart!! I loved my time with these two, their constant battles kept things steamy, and the suspenseful nature that finally pulls them together kept me flipping the pages!! It was so refreshing to read a story with a strong female heroine, one that was able to stand toe to toe with the alpha male characters in the story, and let them know just who was in charge... Sahara was a force to be reckoned with, Brand definitely had his hands full with her!! I highly recommend you get your hands on this one, with each page you turn you will find many moments that melt your heart, make you swoon, and keep you teetering on the edge of your seat!!

Brand is an MMA fighter who is undecided about retiring from fighting and becoming a body guard for the Body Armor agency. He likes the idea but also likes the owner, Sahara. She's the agency's owner who's looking for her missing brother. A kidnapping plot brings them together but will they stay together? Another great story in the Body Armor series.

This is the last in The Body Armor series and it’s my favorite. I’m not sure what it was about Brand and Sahara that I liked so well. Maybe it’s because even though Sahara comes across as tough and brash, she’s really a softie underneath when it comes to her employees and people that she loves. I liked that Brand is the type of man who doesn’t have a problem with a woman who can be tough and handle herself in a professional and/or dangerous situation but he definitely isn’t a wimp. He does like to be in charge and Sahara doesn’t seem to mind that during their personal and private moments. There was some danger, intrigue, and hot moments all throughout the book. It was nice to see how Miles, Justice, and Leese handled all of the precarious situations that they found their boss in. It, also, takes quite a skill to have a villain be likeable, which Ms. Foster does in this story. You don ‘t have to have read the previous Body Armor books to enjoy Fast Burn, but I would recommend them all.

I love Lori Foster's books and this conclusion to the Body Armor series is no exception. Great characters, great chemistry, and a plot twisty enough to turn you into a pretzel. What more can you ask for? Solid 3.5 read

This is the fourth book in Lori Fosters “Body Armor” series - here in “Fast Burn” we see a familiar hard as nails boss and owner of Body Armour, Sahara in a new light. Sahara is used to getting what she wants but the thing she currently wants most is for Brand, a current MMA fighter, to work for her. He on the other hand has a different idea, she can be the boss to her employees at work but he wants to be the boss everywhere else. While they are trying to figure everything out Sahara’s past (actually her missing brothers past) comes back to harm her.

Now Brand has to find a way to not only protect her from the people out to hurt her but to help her figure out what her “dead” brother has to do with everything. But he is not alone – he has some very familiar and loved characters there to help. Justice, Miles and Lessie would do anything for their boss and now friend Sahara. What ensues might just surprise you….

A definite read, you will not be disappointed. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was everything I expected it to be and more. As usual Lori doesn't disappoint. Great characters, action, lots of chemistry and feelings. Loved Sahara, she is one of my favorite female characters, so strong but vulnerable and sympathetic at the same time. I totally enjoyed my time reading this book. Another job well done Lori!

Perfect ending to the series. LOVED Brand. Perfect man to show some loving to Sahara. This book wraps up the story arc of Sahara's missing brother. It also brings in the whole team of Body Armor and the previous couples. Lots of action and some suspense. Sassy Sahara is tougher than she looks. Bran taking over to 'boss" her is priceless!

Sad to see this series close but all the books are well worth the read!

After the death of her brother, Sarhara takes over Body Armor, her brother’s business. Brand is a MMA fighter and is being chased by Sahara. She wants him as one of her bodyguards and in his bed. When she gets kidnapped, the guys from Body Armor set out to rescue her. After they get her back, the danger isn’t over so Brand becomes her bodyguard. As they figure out what’s going on, they also can’t keep their hands off each other.
This is my absolute favorite book in a long time and honestly I’ve rad some good ones lately. It’s sexy, funny, action packed, and full of hunky men. I could not stop reading it. I loved Sahara, she strong, intelligent, beautiful and independent. Brand is sexy, cave manish, and a protector. It felt like I was right there with them.

I loved Brand and Sahara's story! What a perfect ending to a great series. As the boss of a bodyguard business, Sahara always has to be in control. But she can't get the MMA fighter Brand to work for her and doesn't like taking no for an answer. Brand has other ideas for Sahara and the two of them enjoy deciding who's the boss where and when. Loved it!

I have been awaiting Sahara's book since we met her. She is a strong, capable woman who can concede when she needs help. She and Brand had a hot relationship, and I felt that the characters' connection was apparent in the book. The mystery aspect took some turns I was not expecting. I cannot wait for the next book from this author.

Fast Burn is an amazing read. Sahara is so strong and commanding. I love how she takes on the her elite group of body guards. She is a women you don't want to mess with. Brand MMA fighter eyes set on Sahara and boy can you feel the electric pulse between the two of them. I love that he is not afraid to boss her around. They have such a strong connection through everything. Fast Burn is full of action and suspense. Hold on tight to this one and enjoy the ride. Love the men of Body Armor.

I adored Sahara’s bossy nature and take no prisoners attitude and got a kick out of how easily she lulled people into underestimating her! Brand was just as favorable with his protective and very bossy mind set, so I was surprised how far he’d compromise with Sahara on a variety of matters.

The mystery behind Sahara’s brother Scott and his disappearance gave a lively edge to the story. It also helped quicken relations between our stalwart H/h with frustrating and sometimes highly amusing results!

I never doubted these two would cause an inferno when they finally gave in, yet even I wasn’t expecting the hotness! These two clashed on so many things, yet I never doubted how perfect they were for each other! Overall, this was a great read and Foster did a brilliant job tying up plot lines!

4.5 Stars!!!!


I am always sad to see a fantastic series come to an end, but boy did Lori Foster send this one out with a bang!

Throughout The Body Armor series I was always hoping that Lori Foster would give Sahara her own book, so I was ecstatic when I learned that the forth and final book would be Sahara’s! Fast Burn is suspenseful romance novel that will tug at your heartstrings one moment and then having you swoon the next! From the synopsis, I was positive I would enjoy this book, but I ended up loving it! The storyline was well thought out and I think the fact that we had gotten snippets of Sahara’s story and her dedication to solving her brother’s mysterious disappearance in the previous installments, I felt like I was invested in this novel before I even started reading—loved that. In saying that, you can totally read Fast Burn as a standalone, but the first three books are too good to miss! I thought Lori Foster put a lot of depth into Sahara and Brand and because of that I didn’t want this book to end. If you are looking for a fast paced romance with a ton of suspense than this 4.5 star gem is the book for you!
