Forged in Ash (A Red-Hot SEALs Novel Book 2)

This book was downloaded after the first chapter of Forged in Fire. If you haven't read that you will really lose the beginning and basis for yet another amazing book from this author with a fantastic imagination with an exceptional way of keeping you riveted for the next page.This is Cosky's book and you follow and get involved with his need to get back to full fitness with a lot of help from a very unconventional method.This is a very detailed book both in the storyline and the sex which is included. Very descriptive in many ways but written in a way that really captivated the imagination, it will make you groan at points for all the right reasons but you will keep reading to find out what the story holds for all the characters, whose personalities get stronger as the book continues. The storyline strengthens along with the characters as you read on. If you're like me the pages keep turn ok my because you need to know the next turn or twist.Just in case you like audibles, this is read to perfection. The variety of characters have been given their own voice and the suspense just builds. It never hurts if you're a woman listen ok by to a lovely deep silky voice either. Truly brings a fantastic book to life andThe next book is already downloaded and I am enjoying it as much as this book. The biggest downfall of this series is, I read them too quickly and I know they will be read over and over.Much more needed please!!!!

This continues with the same cast of characters as book 1 but with new ones added for romance and conspiracy reasons.Yes, we begin to learn why the plane was to be hijacked but not for ransom for the passengers as originally thought. The terrorists were only interested in 7 first class passengers, who were all scientists, working for the same company and on the same project.Then the scientists’ lab blows up and 7 bodies are found – all are declared dead. And so the bodies pile up in this conspiracy.A strange woman begins to follow ST7 and there are other people also following them about – are they the police – who don’t seem to believe the stories about how they knew about the terror plot – well you could hardly saw ‘I saw it in a dream’; or the FBI or indeed, people pretending to be police or FBI. No-one quite knows.And meanwhile the Department of Justice is also examining just how ST7 knew about the plot. And is this an end to their careers if they find their stories unbelievable?As the story unfolds we have another romance and another person with powers beyond the norm.The story is told at the same breathless pace as book 1 but somehow just falls a little sort but still a 4 – just.

This is the second book in this series and is as good as the first, "forged in fire" , the team are accused of the hostage rescue "in the 1st book" that went wrong and are not getting a lot of help from the various authorities they only have each other to rely on. In the 1st book seal "Cosky" suffered a lot of injuries, In this book he is in danger of being axed from the team, Kate his teammates sister can heal with her touch, but Cosky tries to keep away from her because of the attraction between them.There is more going on in this 2nd book and we meet new team members as well as the old.The ending leaves the book open for the next one, "I hope its not going to be another year"This is a book for lovers of Seal teams and Special opps, get both and you have a good continuing story, and with the new team members this could be a long series, " I hope".Looking forward to more of the same.Marrianna

So the first book was good, really good. This one was just wow! Right up there on the suspense, action, romance, well-researched plot, and skillfully-written scales. I understood the need to show the brutality of the villains and Ms McCallan does manage the write violent scenes without being nauseatingly graphic BUT, and this is just me, the children... I struggled everytime the children were mentioned. They are the reason for so much that occurs but it is still heart wrenching to read/listen to.By the time the start to truly uncover the real reason behind all this murder and mayhem, I was left thinking how absolutely feasible this is in this screwed up world we live in... and that frankly is just too scary.So I'm eager for the happily ever after at the end of this series because this author has done too good a job of weaving a disturbing scenario where my belief doesn't need to suspend very much and I need me some HEA to relax again.In short, amazing book! Stellar narration!

I absolutely loved the first book and was frustrated that I had to wait so long for the story to be continued. But boy was it worth it. I could not put it down and read it in a day. Each individual character grows as the story develops and I cannot wait for their individual stories to emerge. I believe Rawls is next then Mac. Now he is one I can't wait to learn more about. Will Wolf get a book?There is a good balance of action, romance and story progression and the sex is hot and relevant to the story unlike some books where the story gets in the way of the sex. As with Forged in Fire I am impressed with the excellent editing of the book. So many ebooks are poorly edited with typos which affect the flow of the story; no such problems here.If I could give 6 stars I would. Now I just have to wish time could fly until October to find out what happens next. Too long!!

I like the way the story spans more than one book, enjoyable read. I will be reading the other books.
