Grant's Heat

GRANT’S HEAT is the fourth instalment in the contemporary, adult SHARK’S EDGE erotic, romance series, and the first instalment focusing on billionaire Grant Twombley, and caterer Rio ‘Blaze’ Gibson. GRANT’S HEAT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion. Grant and Rio were first introduced in books 1-3 of Shark’s Edge. Told from dual first person perspectives (Grant and Rio) GRANT’S HEAT follows the building but forbidden relationships between billionaire Grant Twombley, and caterer Rio Gibson. Grant Twombley’s attraction and need for Rio Gibson burns hotter with each encounter but Rio’s life is about to spiral out of control, as she falls deeper into an abyss of fire and flame. Rio Gibson struggles with issues of mental illness, and a personal loss sends Rio over the edge forcing our hero to cover for the woman with whom he is falling in love but Rio’s behaviour is placing many lives at risk, and Grant’s need to protect Rio further complicates his partnership with Sebastian Shark, and Shark Enterprises. What ensues is the building but struggling relationship between Grant and Rio, and the potential fall-out as Rio begins to alienate her friends, threatening a life long relationship in the process when her conduct and demeanor continues to exhibit a downward spiral. The relationship between Grant and Rio begins as one of friendship in books one to three but Grant wants something more from a woman who is currently involved with someone else. Unable to keep his distance Grant becomes Rio’s sounding board and system of support when her life begins to spiral out of control. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense but I take issue with the use of a certain four-letter word. The colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters include Grant’s business partners Sebastian Shark and his fiancé Abbigail Gibson, as well as Elijah Banks; and Rio’s co-worker Hannah Farsey, a young woman filling in while Abbi is on maternity leave. GRANT’S HEAT is a story of loss, grief, struggle and control; a story of betrayal and vengeance; of family, friendship, mental illness and the need for understanding, and emotional help. The premise is heart breaking, emotional and edgy; the characters are flawed and tragic; the romance is sensual and provocative. GRANT’S HEAT ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

I've had a love-hate relationship with Bas since the beginning. Abbi, I had more faith in her. Right now? I hope the swell from the incoming storm washes them both away! I don't want to spoil this... So you remember what a player Grant is? Living life to the fullest? Always the comedic relief? No strings attached love 'em till they worship at your alter man w40re? He just found his goddess. Rio, I'm so sorry. The emotions this brought forth - I feel like I survived a tornado. Laughter, friendship, heartache, fear, hopelessness, the deep pain of betrayal - It is all here. I was laughing one minute and my heart was shattering the next. So lost So alone I am afraid to close my eyes This ends on a sad note or maybe... I am not sure how to word it. I have hope but I know the journey is going to be hard. It will test the bonds of friendship. Some will not survive others will become unbreakable.

this book starts of with trials. its intense and has every emotion you can think off. it's got turmoil and love. the test of how committed he is. a tear jerking, deep feels. page turner. definitely worth the read.
