Crystal is an enlisted mechanic with a tragic past. Grant is an officer and a pilot with a broken heart. When faced with a difficult decision, will Crystal choose wisely or lose the best thing that ever happened to her?

The love between them burns hot, but their relationship won’t stay fueled if they can’t beat the obstacles in their way. Besides breaking the fraternization rules, Grant and Crystal have the difference of race between them…but can they prove to the rest of the world, and to each other, that love is color blind?

Afterburn is about overcoming one’s past, not judging others, learning to forgive, and what it’s like to be a woman in a “man’s world.”

Tamara’s Review

I liked Afterburn, but I felt the story was a little rushed. There is a lot of back story included in the beginning and I really enjoyed that part of the novel. But once, Grant and Crystal meet, too much happened too fast for me.
These character have a lot of issues to deal with: Racial issues, grant is black and Crystal is white. Military, Officer/enlisted. History, Crystal’s father was a pilot killed in a plane crash. Add to this Crystal is being sexually harassed at work, and yet all of these conflicts are resolved in a two week period.
I felt that if Afterburn had been a full length novel or even a longer novella, I would have enjoyed it more. That being said, it was still an enjoyable read.
The main characters are likeable and I was really pulling for them to get their happily ever after. And, as in previous books I have read by Tara, the descriptions are beautiful, and the love scenes are very sensual without being graphic at all. He love scenes make me sigh, ahh sigh.
If you like multicultural romance and are looking for a quick read give Afterburn a try.
