Heroine Rating ~ 4 Stars!
Action Rating ~ 5 Stars!
Heat Level ~ 4 Stars!
Ending ~ 5 Stars!
Overall Rating ~ 4.5 Fire & Ice Stars!
Special Note : Fire is the second half of this story. You MUST read Ice first!
At the end of Ice I could not rap my mind around what was happening. It was a total cliffhanger and I was so darn happy that Fire was already released. It was not my plan to read Fire right away but the ending had me NEEDING to read it NOW!
HOLY SHIT! Kaleb AKA Fire was left in the worst possible situation! I can’t even imagine how anyone could go through that shit. All the while Jade AKA Ice, is going through a nightmare herself, trying to get to him. This was a pulse pounding, soul grabbing part of the book that had me gripped to the story line.
Afterwards Fire has to deal with some awful demons as he heals. Once again I REALLY felt his pain. I also felt Ice’s pain watching him heal and deal with his demons.
I was NOT expecting the villain to be this person, it just made the story grittier and dark. You know what? I NEVER saw it coming. He was EVIL to the bone. But the villain got away and now Fire will stop at nothing to get this sick fuck. You see, the villain found out Fire’s week spot, Ice.
The one reason I rated Fire and Ice the H/h only 4 stars was I did not like how they each went about dealing with the last mission on taking the villain down. Other than that it was a REALLY good read. I got the action I was craving, the comradery of all the people on their team, the SCORCHING HOT sex and so much more from this installment. To tell the truth, I enjoyed the book 2 Fire than book 1 Ice.
In the end, everything work out just the way I was hoping it would. So now I’m left waiting for Harris’ story, a story that is a MUST read for me.
Warning : This book contains explicit language, extreme violence & graphic sexual content.

I enjoyed this book immensely ! After reading Ice a few months ago, its sequel Fire had become one of the most anticipated reads of the year for me. Oh my goodness ! This book has it all. It captivated me, agitated me, owned me, aroused me and assaulted all my senses. Packed with action and suspense, this is the kind of books that leave you hanging on the edge of a cliff while the story unfolds.
Fire starts right where book one ended. Kaleb has been taken and he’s now fighting for his life. The indescribable torture and abuse he’s endured was almost unbearable. I was left breathless for a while, gasping for air. The physical pain his captors inflict on him split my heart in two. Jade is determined to save him at all cost. Jade whose heart used to be hard as a block of ice until Kaleb brought his fire into her life and melted it. Love is a feeling and an emotion so sensationally pure, strong enough to heal the broken and warm even the coldest of hearts. It breaks all the rules and blurs all the lines.
Difficult to write this review without giving everything away. Let me just tell you I LOVED Jade and Kaleb’s story. I loved their connection, their dialogues, the way their minds complemented each other as much as their bodies did. Their hearts and bodies drawn like magnets, permanently marking each other’s hearts, sometimes fighting against each other and always fighting for one another. I also loved their selflessness when it came to each other, and loved them together.
This was a beautiful love story between two incredible characters I loved from beginning to end.
The secondary characters play a vital role in the overall picture as well, and can’t wait to read Harris’s story.
Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans are two amazing gifted authors and they expertly put together this captivating and incredibly HOT story. Brace yourselves because this book will rock. your. world !

Just finished FIRE by Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans and HOLY HELL!! The ladies brought the same intensity and heat that they gave us all in ICE! What a thrill ride! This book had my heart racing quite a few times and trying to read faster to see what was going to happen next. I just had to know! Jade is one tough woman. One of the toughest ones that I've ever had the pleasure of reading about. And Commander Kaleb... He was just as sexy and alpha as he was in the beginning when I fell for him. You really MUST read FIRE and I'm talking as soon as it goes live tomorrow. 5 HOT HEART POUNDING STARS!!!!

Rosalie's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
Jade and Kaleb worked together on a secret Special Ops mission in Book 1, finding out where the two titles of the books come from :). Both are hard ass military and neither want to bend...to fall in love. From the minute the two meet, however, the readers know that it is as inevitable as the words you are reading on the page.
With Fire, we open with Kaleb having been captured in the previous mission he was on with his team and Jade, and both realizing how desperately important the other is. Seeing the torture both go through, through the journey, pulls your heart out of your chest. The reunion and everything after made me literally swoon!
Of course this book couldn't have only one plot point. I was on the edge of me seat throughout the read, waiting for the other shoe to drop, for something to happen to Jade and Kaleb, to turn their worlds upside down. The family connectedness throughout this read was amazing. Both authors are absolutely amazing. I started Fire and felt like the beginning of Ice had happened forever ago, to family members of my own. I quickly fell into this world these two amazing authors created and was wrapped from the beginning. Bravo ladies...bravo!!! Can't wait to read more from the two of them!

Jade Elliott is determined to save Kaleb Maverick. Determined to save the man she loves. Determined to not let anyone stand in her way to make that happen (sorry, Harris!). And holy hell, does she make it happen!
Kaleb is in trouble—deep trouble. He survived being dragged and beaten when captured saving Jade, but now the team needs to rally to save him. He just needs to stay alive. By visualizing Jade in his mind, he knows his memories, his wants and desires for her will help him get through anything.
But this enemy he’s fighting is not unknown—and his captor knows just how to hurt him. Will Jade and the team make it in time?
Wow. Fire picks up right where Ice left off—and holy moly, does it take you by the throat and drag you along on one wild ride. Jade is one tough woman, a woman who won’t take no for an answer. She’s an unstoppable force, which is what’s needed to save Kaleb. I loved their interactions with each other, their love for each other coming quite hotly through the pages. And I loved the interactions with the rest of the team.
Can’t wait for Harris’ story! ~ Missy, 4.5 stars

Great conclusion to Kaleb and Jade's story. It picks up right where the first one ended. Lots of action, suspense, hot sex, healing, love and more hot sex.
Plenty more team members to learn more about and to get HEAs. I'm excited that Harris' HEA is next.

I couldn't wait to read this book once I got started on Elite Forces series...and it mostly lived up to my expectations.
I enjoyed the overall storyline. Kaleb is captured and horribly tortured by members of a drug cartel. Following his rescue, his physical and emotional connection with Jade is made stronger and more intense. But, a ruthless enemy stalks them with deadly precision. Kaleb is determined to even sacrifice himself to protect Jade and keep her out of danger.
The sex in the book was definitely hot and explicit. The suspense was great, the romance was good, and the characters were easy to connect to. The story was action packed with great heroes. Jade is one of the best heroines, she is smart and tough, and the best match for Kaleb. She is kick-ass. And I love Kaleb! He lives for the next mission, and wants Jade to know he's a man she can trust.
I absolutely loved the lead couple!! The authors sucked you in from the very beginning and kept you glued to your seat until the very end. I did think at times the plot dragged just a little, but for the most part the book kept me reading. Although the pace was slower than that in the first book, the authors delivered a wild ride that sizzles. The right blend of romance, erotica, suspense, and a little mystery!

5 A TWIST I DIDN’T SEE COMING STARS!!!!
I’ve been waiting since March 7th for this book to be released and as much as I loved Ice I love Fire that much more!!! Both authors have done it again with this conclusion to these first two books in the Elite Forces Series.
We pick up right where we left off in Ice which I so appreciated because it just brought me right back to the edge of my seat from the first page. There is so much action in this book both from a physical sense and an emotional one as well as Kaleb and Jade have to deal with so many things in order to get to a point where they can be together forever.
There’s also a twist in this book that totally threw me for a loop and is totally BRILLIANT!!! I literally talked to my kindle while reading this book because of all the mind boggling stuff being said and done. Trust me when I tell you, once you get enmeshed in this Elite Forces world you’ll be hooked just like I am.
Long story short, I can’t give you anymore than this because it would just give everything away and you want to experience it just like I did as the story unfolds before you. Just like Ice this book has it all – intrigue, action, drama, incredibly hot sex, and so many emotions experienced by everyone involved, but none more so than Kaleb and Jade. You won’t be disappointed!!!
Thank you to Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans for the privilege of reading this prior to release.

Writing and copy editing - Wow is the copy editing really really bad! Like in book 1, there was too much repetition in how things were described (almost word for word in some instances) and there were way too many errors and convoluted sentences which made the action parts difficult to follow and distracted from the story overall.
Plot - Fell flat IMO. It started off pretty good but half way through the story became unbelievable (not in a good way) and the action didn't make my heart race. Disappointing. I also found the ending too neatly packaged.
Main Characters - Jade annoyed me in this novel. She was selfish and complained too much without understanding. Kaleb stayed true to his character as a typical alpha male, massive, tatted up and controlling, perfect for the genre.
Book Cover (because let's face it, we all judge a book by its cover) - I was actually pretty disappointed that the characters appearances were so spoon fed, it didn't allow me to imagine them myself and that caused me to like them less, especially Kaleb who I'm sorry to say I didn't find attractive on the cover. If it was a physical copy in a book shop I wouldn't have picked it up and I would have skimmed past it in the e-store if I hadn't already read book 1.
Overall - 3 out of 5 stars. I recommend it only to people who want to know what happened to Jade & Kaleb.

Dear heavens! Jade has fallen, and fallen hard. She is strong and the most elite female in her squad yet has been brought to her knees by the touch of one special guy. How did she let him so deep in her soul so quickly? He has been taken and she is determined to save him, despite the danger it puts her in.
Fire is hot, but is being tormented by his captor. He is being tortured in the worst ways and all he can think of is the brief time that he has felt love, Jade's love. He hears her screams as his team drags her out of danger and hopes that she can survive his loss.
When they are finally together again, will the secrets he has kept and continues to keep break them?
Fire and Ice is the perfect way to describe this couple and the relationship that is built. One could ultimately destroy the other and it is evident in every aspect of this story. I love the connections of the characters and how the camaraderie is so high. We always here about how close military units are but the author shows just how strong the connection is through every word written in this book.
Great love story, lots of angst and lots of heat. Recommended for a mature but spicy audience. Five Stars!

Phew....... In this stunning conclusion to the story of Jade and Kaleb..... Be prepared for intense and riveting reading.
Kudos to the authors for not leaving gaps of time between Ice and Fire. It's extremely well written and is guaranteed to keep the reader enthralled. That being said..... Oh..... My..... God..... The endurance that Kaleb has is seriously exhibited in this book. How one is able to endure all that he has..... Is enough to break a person. Jade..... Ever the loyal one. Again, I can't emphasize how good it is to finally have a woman who isn't weak and isn't simpering. Despite her emotional turmoil she perseveres. The hotness in this book is enough to leave the panties scorching and the reader dripping. I'd have almost thought it impossible to be so emotional yet..... So sexy. The mind twists that these two authors are known for surely come into play with this book. With a twist of epic proportions, be prepared to be wowed and have a permanently big eyed face for a while as you let this book soak in. Kathy and Hilary are a dangerously dynamic due with the skills to heat up your body and let your mind spin.

This is book 2 in a series and the conclusion to Kaleb's and Jade's story. You don't need to read this book until you've read Ice or you'll be lost and miss a lot of the story.
What a great ending. Fire picks up where Ice ended with Kaleb being held by the Mexican Cartel and a surprise player no one saw coming. Jade is determined to rescue him and Kaleb fights to stay alive. Both of these books were filled with action and suspense and kept me on edge wanting to know what would happen next.
I could say more but unfortunately there's no way without including spoilers, and you need to feel the intensity of this story as you read it and be surprised turning each page.
I loved both Kaleb and Jade and was hoping things were going to work out in their favor. I already liked Harris from book one and I fell harder for him in this book. I liked Jackson a lot too as well as the other team members. I'm excited to see that Harris will get his own book sometime this summer.
Over all this was a really good read with great characters and lot of action. The chemistry between Jade and Kaleb was hot and they were absolutely perfect for each other.

Received an ARC. There are not too many books that I will stay up late into the night to finish. Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans have me hooked on these characters. I love Ice and I devoured Fire. What a ride I took with Jade and Kaleb. Action, drama, hot and one hell of a story line. Not only did I fall for Jade and Kaleb, I found myself wanting to know more about the side characters as well. Fire was exciting and an adrenaline rush. The meaning of family is strong within this read and it lets you know that family does not have to be by blood only. Family can be those that have your back, love you, and those that you are surrounded by the most. When you look at someone and you get the feeling of peace and happiness then those are the ones that are your family. I highly recommend this series and I look forward to more from Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans because they are a powerful writing team. They bring incredible stories and outstanding characters.

Received a copy of this for an honest review.
These authors are a dynamic duo!! Fire picks up where Ice left us hanging chewing on our fingernails. To say this is an intense read is an understatement. Jade is going crazy trying to find Kaleb. She is imaging the absolute worst and just hopes she isn't to late. She will do whatever is necessary to get to him.
Kaleb is in for a complete shock when he discovers who his captor is. The torture he endures is horrific. The one thing that keeps him sane is thinking about Jade. She is his rock and she doesn't even know how he feels.
Time seems to stand still as they each long for the other.
Jade has her team to watch her back and the relationship between these characters is phenomenal. Her best friend keeps her grounded and focused as many characters as he can. This is such an emotionally intense storyline with erotic scenes that ramp up the thrill factor. Definitely one of the best books I have read!!!

Review
Picking up right where Ice left off, we’re thrown into one hell of an explosive predicament. And much like the previous book, the authors didn’t scrimp on the details. Bringing an emotional impact so huge, I don’t think I’ve experienced it before. At least not right off the bat the way I did in the opening chapters of this one.
These authors came together in this installment in an even bigger way and put forth one hell of a story. One that right from page one grips you, tugs at your heart because unless you have no feeling at all, you can’t help but feel all over the place for the place Jade finds herself in when this story picks up, and capitalizes on all of that by bringing a darker, yet very real voice to the horrors that are experienced both in war and in situations like the one the team found themselves in.
This book packs a punch, what can I say?
If possible, at least for me, this installment also brought even stronger writing. More descriptive, yet done in a way that didn’t at any point drag. I was gripped and kept that way throughout.
The characters stayed true to who they were in the first one, but in this one, you get to see almost a role reversal of sorts in that you’re seeing Jade step up to the plate even more, becoming almost like Kaleb was in the first one and him on the other end of the spectrum. Facing demons he hadn’t been expecting and experiencing some truly torturous stuff. Keeping his wits and head about him, despite seeing at times, his need to just give in to it all. Having Jade being there through it all, even when she wasn’t there physically and seeing just how much love can affect someone.
Even someone as alpha and domineering as Kaleb.
I got everything I wanted and more from this follow up to Ice. Questions were answers, issued resolved and again, much like the first, there were some pretty scorching love scenes to balance out all the feeling.
I thoroughly enjoyed what these two authors brought forth in their coming together and I can’t wait to see where they take us next, both together and apart.
Fantastic thrill ride of a read!
My thanks to the author and all others involved in letting me read a copy of this before its official release. Jade and Kaleb’s story, along with the others in their team, a journey I don’t regret for a second taking the chance on.

Fire was… whew! One hell of an action-packed, consuming ride! It has maintained its over-the-edge, dangerous vibes packed with explosive chemistry, love so deeply-rooted and scorching hot scenes that could make your reading devices smoke with so much heat.
Kaleb Maverick never knew he’d fall hard in love with Jade Elliott. But he did and it was the best feeling in the world. Until it wasn’t anymore because he knew once the enemy learned about his weakness, Jade, they’d come after her and would do everything to make him suffer through her. He needed Jade to become clueless of his plans but Jade wasn’t the one to be kept in the shadows. Now everything’s on the line including his mother, his sister and the love of his life as the targets of the enemy they didn’t see coming.
If you’ve read the first book, Ice, you probably couldn’t get this final book fast enough because of how things ended there. Fire picked up right where Ice left off and OH. MY. GOODNESS. The adrenaline from the danger of it all is amazing! Amazing in a way that it’s really military with all the intelligence, strategy, torture, filth, deception, drugs, death injected in the book. It’s all things military. All. The. Things! And I love it so much!
It wasn’t an easy road for Kaleb and Jade because not only they’re facing the one person they didn’t expect to be their enemy but also because of Jade’s struggle to become Kaleb’s equal. And to think that Kaleb should know better than treat her otherwise. It was everything Jade’s been working hard for since the beginning after all. And I admire that equality theme a lot. These two characters have come a long way from being each other’s nothing to each other’s everything. It was interesting to know that they both matured so much as a team, as a couple. Their love was way more intense, stronger and overwhelming (in the best way) than it was before! And don’t even get me started on the sex scenes. My, military romance has never been this hot! Hot! Hot!
Fire was a full-on battle of wills, Mr. Alpha vs Ms. Alpha, of who’s going to dominate who, so emotional, dramatic and tragic all at once but in the end it was satisfying. It was pretty fast-paced and suspenseful and so very hot. The ending could’ve been stronger, more solid though because it felt like a little rushed and the way the authors wrapped things up with the characters’ opponent seemed to be a bit… easy.
Overall, I think any military romance lovers wouldn’t want to miss out on this.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
Fire is the second book in the Elite Forces Series from Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans. You must read Ice first or your going to be lost. Plus you don't want to miss how Kaleb and Jade got their start.
Kaleb Maverick is fighting for his life. One simple in and out mission gone wrong and he stands to lose everything. He's not going to let that happen because Jade is his world. He's waited his whole life to find her and he's not losing her now.
Jade Elliott the first female Ranger is tough as nails. She's a fighter and the best at her job. Having already lost one man in her life she has no intention of letting it happen again. Kaleb is the love of her life and she will do anything to keep him and take out anyone who threatens that. With a passion so strong she's not afraid of anything except losing. Kaleb. Danger in the form of someone who will do whatever it takes to get revenge on Kaleb lies around every corner. Can these two survive the things thrown at them and make it to their happily ever after?
Fire is not a book that takes off after a few chapters. It's action packed and heart pounding excitement from the Prologue. I keep thinking Ice was the build up and Fire is the payoff. I think I picked my jaw up off the floor several times and could not put this book down. It's action packed and in some ways disturbing at times but so worth all the emotions you will go through. Kaleb is such an alpha, tough as nails male and Jade is the strongest female character I've read in a long time, and certainly Kaleb's equal in every sense of the word. Both totally control freaks they fight for control in their relationship which is so much fun for a reader to watch unfold. There are also moments that will have your heart and you kindle melting. It's so hard to say anything about the story line and not give something away and I'm not ruining this one for anybody.
Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans have written a book that will have you on the edge of your seat, yelling at your kindle, and swooning all in the same breath. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. Fire and Ice are complete opposites when you think about them but in this series they will rock your world.

WOW! This was INTENSE, SEXY, and THRILLING! After reading ICE, book one in the Elite Forces series, I immediately wanted to get my hands on the next one. FIRE pretty much exceeded my expectations for a follow-up book. There was more of everything. MORE action. MORE drama. MORE hot sex. MORE emotions. It was killer, and I enjoyed every page. The connection that Kaleb and Jade shared was instant, scorching hot, and beautiful all at the same time. There was complete love for one another, but they handled each other roughly, but in a way that made them both feel safe in each other's arms. In ICE, we were left with one HELL of a cliffhanger, and in FIRE, we start off with a distraught female who will do ANYTHING to get the man that she loves back home safely. All rationale is gone at this point. Jade is a tough woman, but when the other half of her heart is in danger, her vulnerability is put display. I LOVED that the only thing that kept Kaleb going was the thought of Jade. They've known each other for a second, and yet, the lengths that they will travel to save each other is just amazing! The overall storyline was suspenseful, sexy, and passionate. My eyes were glued to the page until the very end. Get ready for a TWIST you will NOT see coming!
I was under the impression that this series was ending with FIRE, but the authors gave us a big surprise at the end with announcing another story featuring a character that we all know and love from the last two books! I'm insanely intrigued by this and can't WAIT to see what action-packed, drama-filled, intensity that these authors come out with next!

5 Star Review of Fire (The Elite Forces Series, #2)) by Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans
This is the second book in the Elite Forces series and continues on from where Ice left off. So if you haven’t yet read Ice you will need to do so before you read Fire.
What can I say? I loved it. I knew they would step it up since Ice was so awesome but wow, this one really was a roller-coaster of a read. The continuation of Kaleb Maverick and Jade Elliott’s story was everything I thought it would be.
When their mission goes horribly wrong, Fire (Kaleb) is captured and despite Ice’s (Jade) pleas they have no choice but to leave him behind. Nearly tortured to death, he clings to the knowledge that Ice and his team do not leave a man behind and he knows that eventually they will come to rescue him.
All Kaleb has to do is survive until they return to rescue him. But that is the question, can Kaleb survive? Or will Jade and the team be too late?
The love these two have for each other shines throughout and is the one constant in the nightmare that Kaleb and Jade are both living through.
This is such a hard review to write as I do not want to give away any spoilers. I love a military man, add in a bad ass heroine, some hints of BDSM, raunchy and kinky sex and I am there. The action is fast paced, I was on the edge of my seat and I read this book in almost one read. I just didn’t want to put it down; I had to know what happened! The sex scenes are absolutely scorching; the love and chemistry between Kaleb and Jade is so intense, you can almost feel it.
There were some scenes that were a tad gruesome, but they are integral to the story and were extremely well written.
The continuity between the authors was seamless. I have no idea who wrote which part and honestly, it doesn’t matter. It was brilliant from start to finish.
This has fast become one of my favourite series this year and I am anxiously awaiting book 3. Congratulations Hilary Storm and Kathy Coopmans and well done you have an absolute winner on your hands!

"Goodness, Gracious, Great Balls of "Fire"!
Fire is the second book in the Elite Forces series, and it is the continuation of Kaleb and Jade's story. As this is not a stand alone, you should read, Ice, the first book in the series before reading this.
With this book, there is no lull or gradual build up of the story line. From the very first chapter, the reader is thrust into the dangerous and heart stopping world of Kaleb Maverick and Jade Elliott. These two literally go through hell and just as one situation is resolved another one pops up. Can their love survive when unknown enemies seem to be lurking around every corner threatening to not only destroy their new found relationship but their lives as well?
I really enjoyed this book! The action is non stop and will leave you gripping the edge of your seat with anticipation! I will warn you that some of the scenes are disturbing and quiet gruesome. However, they are necessary to complete the story line. I must admit that I fell head over heels for Kaleb and Jade and found myself rooting for them to get the happily ever after they so deserved. They were both strong individuals, but together they were a force to be reckoned with. Even in the midst of turmoil, their love always found a way to shine through! The secondary characters were great as well, and I am really looking forward to reading the next book in this series which is Harris' story. It is set to release some time this summer, so if you haven't read the first two book in this series, you still have time. Hurry and one click them now! Kudos to both Hilary and Kathy for creating such a riveting series!

"Time means everything in love and war. I refuse to believe my love ends here, so I use the memory of her to fuel me."
Sighssss...Caleb...The love he has for Jade is sooo insane!!!
"He's the Fire to her Ice. She's the Ice to his Fire. Together they cause an explosion so hot that someone is bound to get torched."
"He had one final mission, but who knew it would go wrong? Kaleb Maverick is now fighting for his life. The life he wants to share with the woman he loves. The Fire inside him not only burns for her, it sizzles."
So, Book 2-Fire starts off where Book 1-Ice left off, and OMG....it's sooo intense!!! I really don't know how to write my review without giving any spoilers. I mean come on, If you love Military books, with Hawt Alpha Males in it, and an equally Bad Ass Woman in it, then this Bad Ass Military book is for you!!
"Jade Elliott has lost one man in her life. She's determined not to lose another. The coldness in her heart can't handle another loss like that. She refuses to let Kaleb go."
I was thinking about this book all day today after I finished it this morning. I was thinking about how this is like one of my very top fav Military books I have read over the past two years. This book is action packed, full of surprises, keeps you turning those pages, spoiler....spoiler....spoiler...lmao (See I can't say anything else without spoilers) lol And holy shit...do you not just love this cover?? HAWT...HAWT!!
I gave this book 5 iScream Books Bad Ass Military Stars!!! Don't leave this series on your TBR, you will not be disappointed, its sooo good!! : )

Fire is the 2nd in the Elite Forces series and I loved it! Ice is the 1st and a must read as it ends in a cliffie. This is about the fall out for Kaleb getting kidnapped at the end. My heart was absolutely freaking out when I finished ICE. I never saw a cliffie coming but boy did Hilary and Kathy make it up to me in FIRE.
The depth in which these authors wrote the characters had me feeling all sorts of feels. I freaked the ever loving crap out with Kaleb being kidnapped and having to see him endure torture.
"I'll let her be my angel in this hell, the women I've fallen in love with, and she'll be the power behind my force and the reason I need to survive".
Jade for me, broke my heart for having to witness and be the one to help save him. Her feelings struck a chord within my heart and I just couldnt help but feel for her.
"I'm well-trained and knowledgeable about what can go wrong in a mission but nowhere in all my life could I have ever prepared for the way I feel right now. They may as well have me, because I'm feeling every single fucking hit he's more than likely getting. I feel all of it. Straight to my heart"
The storyline is just on par for me. I couldnt put it down. I loved the secondary characters, they brought a lot to the table. Im just so glad that we are going to get more!

Holy freakin shit!!! I have been waiting to sink into this book for weeks! And holy hell did it surpass my hopes by leaps and bounds. Hilary and Kathy really know how to smoke some pages and keep the momentum flowing through out the entire book.
Jade and Kaleb are both deep in hell. When one situation looks up and gets straightened out another shit situation knocks on the door again. One thing I love most about the two of them is that no matter what they talk it out. It may not be sunshine and roses all the time for them but they're real with each other. Blunt open honest and to the point. Freakin love that about them.
Kaleb is a dirty fucker and I love him! That mouth of his is omg freakin hot! He's passionate and stubborn. He knows Jade is his be all end all and will do anything to keep that. He lives for HER! Jade is so freakin bad ass. She knows her man and what he needs when he needs it. Doesn't take his shit but gives him plenty of sass. I love that about her.
Kathy and Hilary are freakin genious together! I love how I cant tell who wrote what parts and the book blends effortlessly. It was amazing and action packed from start to finish. Great read by great authors!

Fire picks up right where Ice left us and the action doesn’t stop. Jade and Kaleb are both going through their own versions of hell, one feeling helpless and the other fighting for survival. That strong connection the two shares is what keeps them both going strong. The secrets that are revealed are some that I didn’t see coming until they are revealed right before your eyes. Kaleb is still the alpha dominant man he was in Ice, maybe even more so. Jade I hate to say it I didn’t love her as much as I did in the previous book, I don’t know why I felt a disconnect but I did but even with that I still loved Fire.
Fire is filled with action; keep you on the edge of your seat suspense, healing, love and sexiness. The way that Ms. Storm and Ms. Coopmans have written this series will keep you coming back for more. While Jade and Kaleb’s books are done I am really looking forward to getting books from the rest of the team, I have a feeling some of these guys are going to be like sniper’s to our hearts and explosions to our panties if they are even anywhere as close to being as hot as Kaleb was.

Fire is filled with action; keep you on the edge of your seat suspense, healing, love and sexiness. The way that Ms. Storm and Ms. Coopmans have written this series will keep you coming back for more. While Jade and Kaleb’s books are done I am really looking forward to getting books from the rest of the team, I have a feeling some of these guys are going to be like sniper’s to our hearts and explosions to our panties if they are even anywhere as close to being as hot as Kaleb was.

5 star
I was pulled right into this story. The story flowed so well I could not tell when the authors switching in the story. The story has laughs, suspense, naughty fun, pain, and heartbreak.
This is more of Jade and Kaleb’s story. Fire picks up right where Ice left us hanging. Jade is going to save Kaleb no matter what. She is not about to lose someone she loves. Kaleb is in deep trouble. He is surviving on memories of Jade. He has been beaten but is determined to stay alive for Jade. This book is a suspense filled ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat. What happens when they finally get Kaleb back will he be the same? What happens when the danger moves from him to Jade? Will they be able to protect her? Or will she suffer just like Kaleb did? Can she survive that?
I loved these characters and also the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next story from these two authors.

3.75 “Fire to Her Ice”
Fire is book #2 in the Elite Forces Series and is a continuation of the story of Jade & Kaleb. Book #1, Ice, ended on a cliffhanger & this book picks up exactly where the first one left off. I actually liked this book better, but it still needs some work. In my opinion the 2nd leg of torture & kidnapping was lacking. We needed more than just the before & after shots. How did they end up in that position. Are wee are missing minutes or hours from that scene? I loved everything about the book except the last 20%. If we would've had more in depth scenes & a few more facts this could have been a 5 star book.
Don't get me wrong, this was a pretty good book. Also, the surprises these two talented authors threw our way dropped my jaw. Fire doesn't end on a cliffhanger and completes the story for Kaleb & Jade. However, Elite Forces stories are not over as HARRIS’ STORY IS NEXT!!

FiRE is the 2nd book in this series by Hilary and Kathy. And there is really one word to describe this book! INTENSE!
There is so much that is going on with Kaleb and Jade. You pick up right where ICE left off. Instantly, your heart will literally be pounding in your chest. So much goes on with these two. Both physically and mentally. At one point, you will literally be like WHAT DID I JUST READ?!?!?
The way that Hilary and Kathy give descriptions, you literally will be able to visualize the scenes. They really don’t hold back in this book. It is a fast action packed book. Full of intensity.
I can’t begin to write what I want. Because so much happens in this book and I would give away it all! A MUST read!
