About this listen

Beth Brown’s dream feels so real: a mysterious stranger is gunned down during a violent airplane hijacking, and there’s nothing Beth can do to stop it. But Beth doesn’t believe in premonitions - or does she? How else can she explain the intense connection she feels to the gorgeous man in her dream whom she’s never met? A man she’s determined to save....

Navy SEAL Zane Winters lives for the job, relying on his psychic abilities to keep his fellow soldiers alive. No woman has been able to break through his tough-as-nails warrior mentality - until the day he meets a beautiful blonde who sets his soul on fire. There’s just one problem: Beth is convinced he’s about to die.

To save Zane and the other airline passengers - and to thwart the global crisis the hijacking will unleash - Beth and Zane join forces. But even amid the danger, they can’t deny the powerful force drawing them together. Is it merely attraction…or destiny?

Hold on for a thriller of a ride

This is the first book in a planned series and I am soooo looking forward to more!

Beth is an airport employee who has a dream of a terrorist attack and goes to the airport to see if her dream is really something to worry about. There she sees Zane and his team of Navy Seals who are headed to Hawaii for the wedding of a team mate. What Beth doesn't know is Zane has psychic abilities and recognises Beth as his "one true love" - sigh. Of course throwing a spanner in the works is the terrorist plot that must now be averted but Zane and his team are up for the challenge.

I really enjoyed how the author kept the pace between the relationship developing between Zane and Beth and the action of saving the day. Although this book was resolved in story you can see the bigger terrorist plot will continue to be explored and there are some delicious characters to look forward to. the only thing not explained properly, why did Beth have the dream in the first place? This was a girl who has had not such dreams or any physic ability in the past but suddenly has a dream? Didn't get it but at the end of the day was a minor plot inconsistency that I could live with

When you see on a book RED HOT SEALs you think some steamy scenes....nope. One steamy scene & a couple of kisses.
I thought Angela Dawe did a great job with the delivery of the story.

Very Good Thriller, Mediocre Romance

I was immediately engrossed by Forged in Fire, which had lots of plot twists as well as hunky male heroes. I totally loved how the SEALS were strong, smart and brave yet treated all women & children with respect and kindness.

I wasn't as thrilled with the instant love match (soul mates destined to meet) between Zane and Beth. Zane just assumed that Beth would fall for him, which I found totally unromantic. I wanted Beth to make him work for it, at least in the beginning.

FYI, this is a series with a cliffhanger; most of the bad guys aren't caught in this or the next several books. This book contained quite a bit of violence including rape, kidnapping, child abuse and graphic murders.

Great story to listen to

This was a great story with great characters. My only disappointment was that it was a female narrator. The majority of the book is from a man's perspective (more than 6 of them), so I would have expected a male narrator. It was hard to distinguish the different male character's just by voice. Angela is a great narrator, and I look forward to listening to more of her books.

long story with unresolved plots

Story started out interesting, but then it dragged almost until the end. There's at least two plotlines that went unresolved. Glad I didn't pay full price for this.

Fantastic Read!!

Gripping, tense, quite a ride of a story. Can’t wait till the next book is out this is quite a story, can’t wait to see Amy and Max mix it up. It never ceases to amaze me what a tangle web we have in the executive branch of our government, and how each lil branch want their lil niche and no one can step in it without letting someone know. I would think they would have been happy that an air plane disaster had been adverted and lives saved, rather than question where the Intel came from, and who got it first. In this story we have bad guys in the FBI, DHS (dept. of homeland security) local police (although this wasn’t established for sure) and in the Naval Dept. So it became a question of WHO CAN YOU TRUST? I wouldn’t be surprised if the corruption goes even higher, like a senator in our government, but that is for the next book. Now for Zane and Beth, the physic link they have with each other was quite endearing. Beth denied it but she sure did believe in using it when she was in trouble. I really got a kick out of her using it when they were making love, which was so endearing. Get this book, it was fantastic. Worth a credit.
Narrator did a fantastic job.

Just averaage for me.

What did you like best about Forged in Fire? What did you like least?

It has alot of characters in this book so I assume there may be more books coming from this one. I like the concept of the story, but I did not feel it. At times I felt more emotions from secondary characters than the main characters.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The two main characters just don't click for me. The book has some very good parts but I never got sold on the storyline.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Chemistry between the main characters.

Any additional comments?

Like I said, I love the storyline but for some reason I couldn't "feel" the relationships like I have in other books I've listened to. I would recommend something else.
