OMG！！！！！ Cliffhanger！！！！ I’m really not for sure how I feel about this。 It’s supposed to be a romantic suspense but to me， it didn’t feel like that。 Now I honestly had trouble with the archeologist description。 I had to reread them parts several times to understand it。 But oh my goodness it is one thrill ride after another。 I’m not promising this will make sense but I’ll try。Fiona is an archeologist and after being gone from her dig for five weeks she’s finally let back on the island。 Fiona does OMG！！！！！ Cliffhanger！！！！ I’m really not for sure how I feel about this。 It’s supposed to be a romantic suspense but to me， it didn’t feel like that。 Now I honestly had trouble with the archeologist description。 I had to reread them parts several times to understand it。 But oh my goodness it is one thrill ride after another。 I’m not promising this will make sense but I’ll try。Fiona is an archeologist and after being gone from her dig for five weeks she’s finally let back on the island。 Fiona doesn’t do flings on digs she’s been hurt too many times。 Dean， a playboy， is a photographer and has a fraternal twin brother。 His brother is a volcanologist and has been missing for several weeks。 Dean buys a fake id and pretends to be an ornithologist and goes to the same place Fiona is going。 Dean’s brother talked about Fiona and claimed she was his girlfriend。 Fiona feels like Dean is hiding something so she doesn’t trust him。When an explosion blows the tents up and Fiona and Dean are left behind， they’ll have to trust each other to survive。 。。。more

More suspense than romance， as I suspected it would be with the heroine having the same name as the series。 Action does not match Flashpoint， while romance also falls far short of Grant's magnum opus。 As it is a series， the HEA ain't here。 More suspense than romance， as I suspected it would be with the heroine having the same name as the series。 Action does not match Flashpoint， while romance also falls far short of Grant's magnum opus。 As it is a series， the HEA ain't here。 。。。more

Fiona Carver is a navy archeologist researching a new base site on Chiksook Island， one of the Aleutian islands。 After discovering a historic village， she was forced to flee the island due to weather conditions and not allowed to return for five weeks。 Now she's finally returning along with a few of her previous team and some new。 She is immediately attracted to the new ornithologist， Bill， with his "Newman blue" eyes， but there's just something about him that seems off。 He doesn't know some Fiona Carver is a navy archeologist researching a new base site on Chiksook Island， one of the Aleutian islands。 After discovering a historic village， she was forced to flee the island due to weather conditions and not allowed to return for five weeks。 Now she's finally returning along with a few of her previous team and some new。 She is immediately attracted to the new ornithologist， Bill， with his "Newman blue" eyes， but there's just something about him that seems off。 He doesn't know some of the basic codes of his profession， he carries expensive camera equipment but doesn't seem that interested in photographing local birds， and he's way too interested in the gossip surrounding a former coworker who was fired。 Dean Slater is searching for his missing twin brother， Dylan， who was supposedly fired but never returned home。 Forced to pose as an ornithologist as the only way onto the island， he tries to get information from Fiona， one of the last people to see him， and supposedly Dylan's girlfriend。 But she insists that they were only friends。 Weird things start to happen on the island， forcing Fiona and Dean to flee for their lives。 Will they ever find Dylan， or all die trying？This is a great start to a new series！ Action- packed， but with a lot of interesting detail about archeology and geology too。 The main characters were interesting， both with tragic pasts that they fight to get over。 I love Fiona and Dean， but I also hope Dylan plays a big part in the rest of the series and gets his own happy ending。 I received an advance reader copy of this book through NetGalley。 This review is given voluntarily 。。。more

Stayed on edge。I loved this book。 It’s pretty intense。 I liked the instant heat between Dean and Fiona。 But he’s only into flings and she doesn’t ever do flings。 There’s so much suspense， can they find his brother？ Is he even alive？ I did cry and loved being emotional。 I didn’t realize this would end in a cliffhanger。 I still recommend this book and will probably read the next one。

I want more！This is a great start to a new series by Rachel Grant。 As usual Grant spins an awesome suspense story using her archeological background to build a believable plot。 The characters are well developed。 The only downside to this story is that though the story is finished for now， there is more to the story but we have to wait for the next book in the series to see what happens next with our hero and heroine。 I can't wait for the next installment in the series。 I want more！This is a great start to a new series by Rachel Grant。 As usual Grant spins an awesome suspense story using her archeological background to build a believable plot。 The characters are well developed。 The only downside to this story is that though the story is finished for now， there is more to the story but we have to wait for the next book in the series to see what happens next with our hero and heroine。 I can't wait for the next installment in the series。 。。。more

I like to get into those that have a time table。 The pace takes you with it quickly。 Fiona is on a time table and also must find a missing person。 Dean who fibs to get on the team to help find that brother。 This will also turn into something more and deadly dangerous。 This is the kind to sit up for。 Turn the pages to see if he is found and if they come out alive。

This was so good but then it just。 Ended？ Out of nowhere？Though， there’s ONLY ONE SLEEPING BAG， which pretty much makes up for it。

CLIFFHANGER ENDING…。SO DISAPPOINTED I was all set to give this book a five star rating， but the cliffhanger ending just really frustrated and irritated me。 An intriguing， intense， fast-paced story， in my opinion， just lost it’s punch！！！ I absolutely hate cliffhangers as a device to get the reader to read the next book。 I highly doubt that I will continue reading this series。 So disappointed！

An intriguing and interesting romantic suspense tale。 I skipped over the extensive geological and intimate details which helped the story progress faster。 Obviously we couldn't have a HEA since this is book one。 More adventures to follow with this trio。 I am happy to have won the book on Goodreads and plan to continue reading this series。 An intriguing and interesting romantic suspense tale。 I skipped over the extensive geological and intimate details which helped the story progress faster。 Obviously we couldn't have a HEA since this is book one。 More adventures to follow with this trio。 I am happy to have won the book on Goodreads and plan to continue reading this series。 。。。more

I was very much intrigued by the setting of this book， in the remote Aleutian Islands， where Fiona Carver is an archaeologist investigating a potentially unique indigenous site before the US Navy builds a new submarine base。 The unforgiving landscape， potentially deadly even in the middle of summer， plays a big part in the story。I do， however， have two significant issues with the book。 First is that， while it is the first part of a series， it ends on a relationship cliffhanger。 While I wouldn’t I was very much intrigued by the setting of this book， in the remote Aleutian Islands， where Fiona Carver is an archaeologist investigating a potentially unique indigenous site before the US Navy builds a new submarine base。 The unforgiving landscape， potentially deadly even in the middle of summer， plays a big part in the story。I do， however， have two significant issues with the book。 First is that， while it is the first part of a series， it ends on a relationship cliffhanger。 While I wouldn’t necessarily expect an HEA in the first installment of a romantic suspense series based on a single protagonist， a cliffhanger is just going to annoy readers unnecessarily。 Frankly there was way too much will-they won’t-they going on anyway， and considering the explicit dirty talk earlier in the book， the fact the couple didn’t actually do the deed just felt like a bait-and-switch let down。The second issue I have - and this is a bigger one - is that for a series where Fiona is supposedly the protagonist， this book was about Dean。 Dean’s brother， Dean’s problems， Dean’s romantic interest in Fiona。 I didn’t count scenes， but it certainly felt like well over half the book was from his point of view。 Certainly it was his choices which drove most of the story’s action， relegating Fiona to the role of observer and assistant。There are things here I really like， such as the respect shown for the indigenous people whose land the action is occurring on。 Fiona is a great character， with her no-nonsense attitude and refusal to have specific roles assigned to her just because of her gender。 Dean， while he thinks he’s enlightened， falls down here a few times - but that’s the flaw of writing a modern-day playboy， because their lack of respect for women is a fundamental part of their character， and writing one as the hero means you almost always end up falling into the Not Like Other Girls trope with the heroine。I don’t think this is a bad story， but I think billing it as ‘Fiona Carver Book 1’ does it no favours， and as previously noted， I’m not at all keen on the romance cliffhanger ending。 Overall， I’ll give it three stars; I may pick up book 2 if it crosses my radar but probably won’t go out of my way to look for it。Disclaimer: I received a review copy of this title via NetGalley。 。。。more

Read this storyI loved Fiona Carver for her intelligence， empathy， and strength to keep going。 I loved Dean for his belief in his brother and his belief that he can’t change。 This story grabbed me so I couldn’t stop reading。 First book I have read by Rachel Grant。 It won’t be the last。 I need to find out more about Fiona！

Stretches beliefThe author sets up the plot so that absolutely everything goes wrong for the characters which stretches your ability to believe。 Supposed to be fiction rather than fantasy。

Delivers on all levels。 Mystery， romance and some unexpected tugs on the heartstrings。 Such a fan of Rachel Grant and this book did not disappoint。。。 other than it came to an end。 Can’t wait to read book two。

I did enjoy the book but it starts slow。 It has a lot of detail and if you are not interested in archeology then it might bog down a bit。 I like Rachel Grant as a writer， so I'll buy the next book in the series to find out if the characters get together。 I did enjoy the book but it starts slow。 It has a lot of detail and if you are not interested in archeology then it might bog down a bit。 I like Rachel Grant as a writer， so I'll buy the next book in the series to find out if the characters get together。 。。。more

CLIFFHANGERI would never have purchased this if I’d known it ended in a cliffhanger。 NOTHING makes me angrier than getting to the end of a book - and it’s not the end。 I love this author but I might not purchase her books again。

Loved Dangerous Ground。 The story of a devoted brother going undercover on a mission to find his missing sibling was an interesting read on its own， but what sets this book apart and makes it fascinating is the scientific mission， not your typical storyline and storytelling。

Good start to a new romantic suspense series。 The mystery is interesting， while the romance is very slow burn （I'm sure this will pick up in subsequent books）。 I really enjoyed getting to know Fiona （I always loved archaeology）。 She's smart， tough， and good at her job。 Dean， however， did not resonate as much with me。 I just couldn't connect with him。 He's there in disguise and under false pretenses。 And he hits on Fiona， even though he believes her to be his brother's girlfriend。 I'm hoping he'l Good start to a new romantic suspense series。 The mystery is interesting， while the romance is very slow burn （I'm sure this will pick up in subsequent books）。 I really enjoyed getting to know Fiona （I always loved archaeology）。 She's smart， tough， and good at her job。 Dean， however， did not resonate as much with me。 I just couldn't connect with him。 He's there in disguise and under false pretenses。 And he hits on Fiona， even though he believes her to be his brother's girlfriend。 I'm hoping he'll grow and mature as the series goes along。 I enjoyed the descriptions and details in this book。 It's well-worth reading。Note: the book ends with no HEA/HFN。 The characters continue in the next book。I won a paperback copy of this book from the author。 My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation。 。。。more

This is going to be a great series if the rest of the books are as good as this one。 I could not put it down once I started。 There are some really good twists and turns that keep you turning pages。 I also really love how real & vivid the story is and you feel like you have been pulled into it。 I cannot wait for the next book！
