I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley for an honest review.

I think I want my own MMA fighter! Lori Foster is a master of her craft. Sahara has been kidnapped and shot at by those who want her brother. Only her brother is dead! He was lost at sea and no body has been found. Brand wants to keep Sahara safe and find who is behind everything. They take refuge at Body Armour and Brand call the guys in for reinforcements. Now they have to try and burn the building down with the chemistry between them. I recommend this series and book to everyone.  I give Fast Burn (Body Armor) 5/5  stars.

Body armor is one of the best methods of protecting your body. But if you think about it philosophically, it’s also a good way to retain a little self-preservation and protect your heart. In FAST BURN, the fourth installation of Lori Foster’s Body Armor series, we see how far a little armor can be stressed before it shatters all together.

Body Armor may have started as her brother’s elite security agency, but when Sahara Silver stepped in to run it in his absence, she took the reins like a boss. Shifting the personnel model to get rid of the “stuffy Men in Black clones and offer instead real men, with real muscles, certifiable machismo and lethal ability with or without a weapon,” Sahara set about filling its roster with sexy ex-MMA fighters. She’s been after Brand Berry for months, but he won’t budge. He’s got his own family situation that requires an “influx of cash,” but rather than giving in and taking a security job with his friends now working for her, Brand digs in his heels. Because what he wants more than the job … is Sahara.

Attraction burns bright with these two, but Foster sets an enjoyable pace for both the romance and the suspense. In all the time Sahara’s brother, Scott, has been thought to be dead, she’s never given in to the notion that he’s not alive. An effective operative in her own right, she has an admirable ability to stay calm when she’s kidnapped on the way home from work one night.

Calling in the cavalry gives her a fighting chance, but following up with Brand ensures they move swiftly into a space neither had been willing to entertain before. Emotion both clouds and clarifies the situation.

Brand jumps into the fray with both feet (and both eyes) wide open, learning the ropes at a trial-by-fire pace. He’s got no choice — the danger facing Sahara can only be alleviated by a new face. He’s a big bruiser in the ring, but untried as a security operative. And his determination to help Sahara illustrates the power of love … even when the feeling is in the delicate, early stages.

Foster is a master at writing a simmering romance, and FAST BURN is no different. I love the way these two alliterative, control-freak characters butt heads … it makes their eventual fall all the more satisfying.

Sahara is strong, beautiful, opinionated, and savvy. She knows what she wants and goes after it, full steam ahead, no detours. She wants Brand but she also she wants him to work for her. Which one does she want more since he doesn't mix business with pleasure.

These two have serious chemistry together no question about it. Who will give in first? When Sahara is threatened Brand will do everything that he can to keep her safe, he doesn't work for her but that doesn't matter as he sees her as his.

Loved getting to see the other couples from the series. Seeing the women with Sahara and how she reacted to them since she always has to have a certain attitude since she's around men all the time and a boss.

I literally couldn't put this book down, I needed to know what happened next. Loved this series!

Another winner in Foster's Body Armor bodyguards series, this one features Brand and the owner, Sahara, getting over their issues and fears, and accepting their feelings for each other. As always, danger appears, and sexy hijinks ensue.

Sahara's story is finally here. She's the boss of the Body Armor Bodyguard Agency - ever since she inherited it after her brother disappeared and was presumed dead. But Sahara still believes he is out there somewhere.

But the most important thing for now is ... convince Brand to work for her. But he's still resisting all her offers.

Brand would be interested in working for the agency, but he doesn't mix business with pleasure and he is SO interested in pleasuring Sahara. But she's only interested in him for his professional talents ... right??

And what happens when some creeps kidnap her to get her to tell them where her brother is?

Could he really still be alive? And what business did he have with those idiots?

Sahara will definitely need Brand to find out.

What will happen with Sahara & Brand??
Will we get a happily ever after??
And will her brother be found?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT! ☺

Another great read from Lori Foster. After watching Brand and Sahara dance around each other throughout the series it was fun to see them finally make a move. Sahara is stronger than she lets on, and everyone ends up underestimating her. Brand is a protector but he is willing to compromise with her on different things that allows them to work well together. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it and the series!!!

Received ARC from NetGally/author in exchange for voluntary honest review

I have so been waiting on Sahara's book and I'm so glad she got someone like Brand! I loved this book! The mystery of what happened to her brother has been bugging me and I'm glad we finally get the answers. The mystery, suspense, and romance in this book will keep you wanting more and getting it. The chemistry between these two is intense and sexy. Also has great dialogue with great banter. I love this because you not only get the body armor crew but the wonderful characters from her MMA series! I can never get enough of those guys. So much fun! Definitely a must read of 2018!

This is the latest romantic suspense novel in the Body Armor Series by Ms. Foster. It can be read as a stand alone, as can the others in the series, but they’re such great reads I would recommend them all.

Sahara Silver is the owner and operator of Body Armor, inherited from her brother Scott. He mysteriously disappeared, and is believed dead after a boating accident, leaving the security company to her. She has staffed it with her own operatives, big, sexy, extremely tough and intelligent former MMA fighters. She has been trying relentlessly to get one more fighter on board, Brand Berry who is a close friend of her men. So far he has refused all her plea’s, not sure he wants to give up fighting. But he also has a different reason, he is very attracted to Sahara, and mixing business and pleasure never ends well.

Sahara has never believed Scott was dead, even hiring a PI to keep up the hunt. Suddenly she is front and center of a kidnapper’s grip, and a series of dangerous near misses have Brand and the other Body Armor men anxious to protect her. Sahara, being strong, independent, and assuring them she can protect herself has them all grinding their teeth. Brand takes over her protection, and if he has his way, her heart.

This novel is suspenseful, very sexy and I couldn’t put it down once I started. I always enjoy Lori Foster’s stories.

Thank you to Harlequin Publishers and Netgalley for the opportunity to review.

Fast Burn was an utterly satisfying end to the Body Armor series, and I absolutely loved Brand and Sahara. The story had everything I love in a romantic suspense - and then some.

I ended up enjoying this book very much. At the beginning I was annoyed with Sahara Silver. She thought she could say whatever she wanted just because she was the boss? She thought it was important for bodyguards to be sexy?? Ugh annoying. However, Lori Foster once again won me over. I came to know Sahara Silver and Brand Berry as complex characters who I wanted to see succeed in their relationship and their problems. Just when I was starting to doubt the friend dynamic in the book, Loti brought in some social time between the fighters, their wives and Sahara and Brand and made me a happy reader. The book is full of twists and turns and complex situations so even when you get a glimpse or an idea about something, there’s still a surprise around the corner. Another great Loti Foster Read!

This book was good the story was very good but she shared just a bit to much details! That's why I had to take off a few stars, but it really is a good story line not a bad boom but just too many details then you just loose interest and start skimming! But thank you netgalley and publishers and author for sharing this with me!!

The finial installment of The Body Armor series is here! That's right people! Fast Burn is finally here! And if you have ever read any Lori Foster books, you know that this is the book where all the questions are answered, and I have to say, as a long time Lori Foster fan, I did not see some of that coming!!

Some of you may remember Brand Berry The Ultimate Series, well, if you remember Close Contact, you were left wondering if Brand was going to leave the MMA behind and finally give in to Sahara Silvers wish to have him join Body Armor Inc! And I'm not going to reveal that detail here, but what I will say, is that while investigating the her missing brother, Sahara is kidnapped, and it left to Brand and the guy to get her back, to uncover whom has taken her, to find her brother, be it dead or alive and to bring people to justice!

Oh my goodness! This book is everything I hoped it to be...with a twist, that I didn't see coming! And I have to say that this book gave me "all the feelings" (as my niece would say) I was surprised, happy, confused, and thrilled, and I have to say that the author gave me food for thought! You truly never know who is the bad guy!

Fast Burn is the perfect ending to the Body Armor series! All loose ends tied up, and you are just left with that warm and fuzzy feeling you get, when two of your favorite characters, finally find their Happy Ever After.

I give Fast Burn 5 stars

Fast Burn (Body Armor, #4) by Lori Foster ....I'm so sorry to have this series come to an end...but I know Lori will not disappoint us and can't wait for a new series. Thanks to Lori and #NetGalley I got to preview this book...(I also preordered a copy)... What should I start with...I loved touching base with all the guys and their women...but the best was saved for last...Brand and Sahara stole my heart... I always feel like I'm right in the story with Lori's books and this was no different. There is danger..laughs..loving(hot) ...in the end all questions answered and best of all a HEA.

I am so glad to finally get Sahara's story. The whole thing between Sahara and Brand through the other books and the mystery of her brother. The chemistry between them is so strong. Sahara is so used to being in charge and so is Brand. She wants him to work for her and he won't because he wants more than a business relationship. After Sahara is kidnapped, all bets are off. Brand will be by Sahara's side no matter what. It will be a battle of wills when Brand tries to protect her. But, they come to an agreement and the sparks fly.

Fast Burn ends the Body Armor series with Brand and Sahara's (long-awaited) story, and it is the perfect wrap-up for this set of characters. That's not to say I wouldn't want to visit them again in an interconnected series. Hint, hint, Lori Foster.
Sahara Silver is a strong-willed, independent woman running her brother's security agency in his absence, and Brand Berry is the MMA fighter she lusts after as a potential bodyguard for Body Armor and as a man for herself.
In the previous books in this series, we got a taste of the chemisty and sexual tension between Brand and Sahara, and in Fast Burn, it all comes to a head.
Lori Foster throws us right into the suspense and intrigue as Sahara is given a lead on her brother's disappearance. Brand, determined to stand by Sahara's the entire time, inserts himself into the thick of things, and they finally have the chance to explore what is between them.
Throughout the book, Brand and Sahara prove to be the other's perfect counterpart. For although Sahara is determined to be strong for herself and by herself, Brand shows her that she can be a strong, independent woman who also allows herself to lean on him and let him be the strong one sometimes.
As always, I love the involvement and reappearances of previous characters, and while I'm sad this series is over, I look forward to what Lori Foster has coming next.

***I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.***

Sahara Silver has stepped up. After her brother disappeared, she's moved into his house,taken over his business & has never given up on the idea that he's still alive. Apparently she's pushed that thought too far. Now someone is after her. She thinks she has it under control but everyone else thinks she's wrong.

Brand Berry is an MMA fighter. He's trying to decide whether to retire or keep fighting. Sahara has been trying to talk him into joining her security agency, Body Armor. Brand is interested in Sahara but not as his boss. Can he manage to protect her from danger?

I loved these two! Sahara tries so hard to be as tough as her employees, she forgets her own limits. Brand is so protective!! He does try to stand back & let her discover things for herself. I like that although Brand was upset that she didn't understand boundaries, he didn't use it to force her away. Instead he used it as a teaching point when she got upset with him. Great to catch up with the other characters. The plot moves fairly quickly but with several twists to keep you interested & guessing. Another great paced suspense!

"I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review"

For the woman who’s his perfect match, he’s willing to break the rules…
The moment Brand Berry meets beautiful, driven Sahara Silver, the connection between them is electric. It’s also something he can’t pursue. Sahara wants him, sure—to join Body Armor, where his MMA skills, size, and cocky attitude make him perfect for her elite crew of bodyguards. For Sahara, the agency always comes first, and Brand needs more. Yet when she’s kidnapped.

This is the second book in the series I have gotten to read thanks to NetGalley. Not only could I not put this down but I also loved this book even more than the last one I read. I really have to get the first two books as I love all the characters in this series.

Sahara is such a strong independent woman who can take care of her self in heels no less. I loved her in this book and I loved seeing her lean on someone else even if it was for only small amounts of time. I think it showed you can be strong but still have someone help you without it meaning you are weak.

Brand is just amazing, even when he is being a cave man. He is such a strong man who has trouble letting people in so seeing that be chipped away made him the perfect guy.

The side characters added so much to the book like the last one and added to the story in such an amazing way. The only one I was not a fan of was Scott. I am sorry I am not a fan.

Any Romance lovers out there should read Lori Foster's books because she tells an amazing Romance story. I ended up giving this book 5 out of 5 stars.

This final book in the Body Armor series is one that many have been waiting for. Sahara has been this larger than life character. A strong kick ass woman who knows her mind and knows what she wants. Brand Berry has been kind of hanging out in the background a bit until this book. He wants Sahara but thinks Sahara mostly wants him to work for her. This book did not get me excited until the second half. Brand seems to assume a lot of things about Sahara and he underestimates her often. Sahara who has always come across as confident and self assured kind of becomes this train wreck. I thought Lori Foster was going to disappoint. Finally a bit after halfway Brand finally starts to see the real Sahara and she let's her guard down and allows herself to not always be in charge. Well worth hanging on and going the distance. In this last book you really get to see how much all the characters in this series have progressed from book one and I was happy to get that glimpse into how everyone is doing. Great ending of the series.
