Flynn's Firecracker by Dale Mayer
Heroes for Hire Series Book Five
Flynn Kilpatrick had felt he'd done the right thing as a SEAL, but being he disobeyed orders...he was booted out. After a year of wandering, he's hoping to get on full-time with Levi's company, Legendary Security. But it looks to him like his bad luck has followed him and he's not sure where his future will be.
Anne Burrows has a small animal shelter. And a fairly boring life...until she gets a bodyguard. She enjoyed having the muscular man around to help with the animals but it was lonely when he left. And now, he's back...but has brought some type of trouble with him.
Their story begins in book three, Merk's Mistake, where Anne's friend Katina is in trouble and they send Flynn to protect Anne until the men after her friend are caught. Even in that book it hints at the fireworks between these two. Anne's temper and Flynn loving to ignite it. Another good story.

I have been looking forward to ths book since I read Merk's Mistake. It seems that Anna and Flynn have been butting heads for a while.
This is book 5 in the series, but can be read as a standalone. Dale Mayer has created a great set of characters who engage you from the very first page. Both Flynn and Anna both rub each other the wrong way and it lends to many quite humerous encounters.
As the series progresses the characters and storylines become more complex.
I really enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting. It was gripping and quite stressful as times. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves romantic suspense and Dale Mayer.
Thank you to the author and publisher for providing me with the oppoetunity to read and review this book.

This one was a bit more suspenseful than the usual books I read, but I really enjoyed it. Flynn is a perfect mix of over protective ex-military, and loving, sweet, caring man, and as for Anna, well she’s too stubborn for her own good, especially when it comes to her animals, but in the end, everything will work itself out. I hope you enjoy! Happy reading!!

**ARC RECEIVED IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW**
Really good read. I definitely enjoyed Anna's spunky character and Flynn's funny one. They were perfect for each other, especially since they went right for the relationship instead of playing games, which is so frustrating, especially when its adults.
The book flowed nicely and in turn was really engaging and subsequently a page turner. The only thing I didn't get from the book was, why did Brendan get kicked out of the military and why did he blame Flynn? That was discussed but never reached a reasonable explanation. That would have been a better addition to the story than a bitter, dishonorably discharged military man, hellbent on revenge on someone who didn't even deserve it. So while a interesting read, it did feel a bit incomplete in that aspect.

I was happy to see that Flynn and Anna got their story. From the sparks coming off them from the previous story, it was sure to be interesting and Ms. Mayer did not disappoint. These two characters were like gas and fire, when the got together sparks flew. It was quite an interesting mating ritual. Ha Ha. While it was not as actioned packed as some of the previous tales, it was still filled with suspense, drama, fun and brought to mind the plight of abandoned pets. I like that Ms. Mayer brings interesting subject matter into her storyline plots, and this one, about abandoned pets is one that is close to my heart. Each story couple is different and I like the diversity that the plots have as they play out. The stories always move along at a good pace, keep your interest, have interesting characters and keep the brotherhood or family feel of the military groups. I had to laugh that everyone is still trying to steel the compounds cook/butler/ house mother Alfred. Another great read leaving me eagerly awaiting the next book .
I volunteered to read this story for my honest opinion.

Fast paced action and suspense…
This is the fifth book in the Heroes for Hire series that can be read as a stand-alone.
Former Navy SEAL Flynn Kilpatrick took on the trial run assignment of protecting a woman who owns and runs an animal shelter as a precursor to joining Legendary Security permanently. The bodyguard stint went off smoothly if you don’t count the sparks that flew between him and the feisty owner who didn’t like her independence challenged or her personal space violated. Flynn so enjoyed getting a rise out of the woman and taking care of the animals. He left his jacket at her place to have a reason to go back but before he gets a chance she runs into the compound upset and accusing him of harming an animal. What a great opening scene that was, suspense from the very beginning. Flynn’s job was her protection but it seems his presence placed a target on Anna, the past has come back to haunt him.
Anna Burrows loves animals and has made it her mission to care for them and find them great homes. When her best friend was threatened she had to put up with a sexy bodyguard who tended to push all her buttons but she admits to herself she liked the company and the help around the shelter. When he leaves as his protection is no longer necessary she finds a mutilated animal with the evidence pointing to Flynn and to say she’s furious is an understatement. Taking matters into her own hands Anna heads out to confront her former bodyguard in front of those who sent him to her. She doesn’t really believe the man who cared for the animals like he did would harm them but she has yet to calm down. Cooler rational heads prevail helping Anna regain her composure but further investigation at the shelter finds there’s more than an animal mutilation to deal with. This time it’s Anna that needs a bodyguard.
This story is aptly named, Anna is definitely a firecracker, anyone or anything that threatens her animals and she’ll fight like a tigress to protect them. The spirited give and take between the protagonists made this reader smile often, their chemistry was palpable, steamy and amusing. Flynn inadvertently brought danger to Anna’s doorstep and he’ll now do anything and everything to protect her and the animals but don’t discount how far a woman will go to protect the man she cares for. I loved the ending and Anna’s reactions to what she’d done. This hero for hire is now a hero for the homeless but don’t tell Levi. This story had great action and suspense and this reader loved that the storyline was inclusive of animals.
