Operation: Fire Bomb
More Than Dash of Suspense, and Seriously High Heat
There’s always that one character in a series who fights everything and everyone to prove they’re not HEA material. And in Charissa Gracyk’s Slater Security series, Dash Slater is that character. Or, well, he was. Enter Operation: Fire Bomb, and mild-mannered school teacher Lake Sullivan, and consider Dash’s plan to remain a forever-bachelor, well, dashed.
Gracyk puts her stellar suspense skills to work to create a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat, seriously steamy love story that puts the opposites-attract trope front and center, and proves why it will forever be one of my favorite tropes. Slater Security readers have longed for the enigmatic and mysterious Dash’s story, and Lake brings it out in perfect fashion. Who says badasses can’t be geeks? And who says preschool teachers can’t be badasses? Because when they’re in Gracyk’s capable hands, they can and will do it all.
Oh, and let’s not forget the steam, too. Because Gracyk definitely knows how to bring that. And Dash is the perfect match for Lake when it comes to desire, need, and those protective instincts innate in his character. Their match is so much deeper than lust, and it’s truly wonderful to see how quickly their relationship escalates, along with the peril they find themselves in.
The Slater Security series always brings the humor with the suspense, and Fire Bomb is no exception. I love the movie references throughout. And the banter between Lake and Dash, as well as the rest of the Slater team, is on-point as always. I do recommend clearing your day, or calling in sick tomorrow, to read this, because you will not want to put it down.
While Operation: Fire Bomb can be read as a standalone, you’re going to want to read the rest of the series anyway. So, either jump straight in with Dash and Lake, but be prepared to series binge after, or start from the beginning and get the true Dash experience.
