Forged in Fire - Trish McCallan

4 ****

Zane is a Navy Seal who is a little psychic and has 'visions' when things are going to go wrong, he knows something is wrong about this commercial flight him and 2 of his Seal buddies are about to go on, he just doesn't know what, until he talks to Beth. Beth works for the airline and although she isn't psychic has multiple dreams about something going wrong with the flight - she gets a lot of scary details in the dream and doesn't believe it until little things begin to come true.
Beth recognises Zane from the dream and believes he can help, Zane believes Beth is his soulmate after the men in his family have all 'known' when they meet the woman who is the one and they can connect telepathly. Beth thinks he's crazy. But they begin there mission to stop this flight and catch the terrorists.



As I started to read this book I got a little concerned because I am not a fan of unrealistic books, I like to really believe them. Telepathy and psychic visions are not for me. Until now. I just went with it in this book, it is not a realistic story but it is entertaining.


The action did not stop in this book, I could not put it down! I was on the edge of my seat during the whole book. The romance story is an underlying story in this book, it comes after the drama and action - but you know its there. That was kind of what stopped me giving this book a 5 star, for me it took the unbelievable a little step to far by the end of it, I could believe the visions but the telepathy and feeling each others pain by the end of the book was a little odd for me.

But I love Zane, the man is hot and protective, and all round alpha male. He takes his job seriously and does everything he can to catch the terrorists and protect Beth, without letting her distract him too much. He wants to save the hostages and won't risk them or the mission in order to make sure Beth is safe (which I have seen done before, and I don't like it). Beth is a tough, protective lady who is doing everything she can to protect her friends, she doesn't give in to Zane for a while which I appreciated, if things are going to be slightly supernatural it would be very odd if she just accepted that straight away, and accepted that they were meant to be.

"You can fight what's between us all you want. It won't change a thing. You're mine. And sweetheart, you don't want to bring another guy into this, not unless you want to watch him bleed"

Although this book does have a cliffhanger, I think it's more of just a set up to the next book, Beth and Zane's story is pretty complete, it is just the drama we are not done with yet.

SPOILER ALERT

One thing I didn't like about this book - one thing I HATE in romance books, when it is like it is necessary for a story to be complete the couple must be married with a baby on the way what is with that. You may be soul mates or whatever but at the end of the day you have known each other a couple of days! BE SERIOUS. And you don't need marriage and babies to be in a happy relationship..

END OF SPOILER

I am looking forward to reading more in this story and seeing what happens.
