Blurb
Lia has known true darkness—and not just because of the power grid failure nine months ago. She has faced evil and emerged a survivor. Now if she could just make the two men she wants see her as whole and not broken … maybe she’d have a chance at the future she’s determined to claim.
Cam and Travis have been brothers-in-arms since their days as Force Recon Marines, and there’s nothing Cam wouldn’t do for his best friend—except let him have the woman Cam’s been patiently waiting for. But when Lia shocks him by saying she wants them both, he has the decision of a lifetime to make. Lose the girl, or lose his best friend.
In a world where nothing is certain, can three people find their way to love?
*Warning: This book includes two sexy as hell Marines, one strong woman determined to have them both, and a whole lot of sex—the dirty kind. Proceed at your own risk.

Review
Hard Charger is a super quick read that illustrates Lia, the woman Rowan helped rescue in book 1, having the strength and the confidence to slowly rebuild her life after she succumbed to the darkness of what happened to her.
Lia’s story begins about 9 months after she became a part of the Castle Creek Whitetail Ranch; she’s coming out of her shell more, but there are still things that trigger her memories and force her to draw inward again.
But what Hard Charger also demonstrates is Lia’s determination to move past what happened to her and feel alive and safe in the arms of the two men who had her back since the beginning – Cam and Travis.
Cam and Travis are interesting heroes who remain a bit of a mystery even at the end of the text; readers don’t learn much about them except for the fact that they both want to give Lia what she needs, and while I understand why the focus is on Lia’s transformation, I had questions about the two men in her life that were left unanswered.
Lia’s need and love for two men does make sense to me because of what she experienced at the hand of a group of vile men, but Lia as well as Cam and Travis are new to a menage relationship, so I felt like there needed to be more insight into why they chose this journey.
Regardless of my need for more information, I really enjoyed Hard Charger. I love the world that Meghan March has created due to the power grid failure and there are multiple ways this series can be extended, leading to more suspense, angst, and passion.
One key idea that seems to be strewn throughout the Flash Bang series is that it may be unconventional but in the world that now exists on the outside, it’s all about making oneself happy and not giving a damn who doesn’t approve.

About Flash Bang (Flash Bang Book 1)
Rowan Callahan is a career-climbing slut. At least according to the vicious—and false—rumor that is destroying her professional life. But a little thing like her career as an attorney ceases to matter when a plane crashes in downtown Chicago and the entire city goes dark. Her unconventional upbringing makes her suspect the worst: she’s just witnessed the kick-off to the apocalypse. Armed with a backpack of supplies, she leaves Chicago, intent on resetting her skewed priorities and seeking shelter at the family farm with her father and sister. She’s injured and running for her life when she stumbles directly in the crosshairs of two men who just might be her salvation . . . and her greatest temptation.
Graham Buchanan and Zachariah Sawyer are best friends and brothers-in-arms who have been indulging in ménages since before their Force Recon team served in Iraq and Afghanistan. They’ve hung up their uniforms to build a new life for themselves and their team at Castle Creek Whitetail Ranch—a rustic deer hunting preserve that covertly doubles as a doomsday prepper’s paradise. They thought they were prepared for anything until Rowan comes crashing into their lives. Graham and Zach are convinced she’s the one woman who can handle them both, but she has no intention of deviating from her carefully laid plans for longer than it takes her to recover from her injuries. So they propose a deal: they’ll provide her an armed escort home, and in exchange, she’s theirs until they part ways.
It was the perfect plan; except once they’ve had her, they can’t let her go…

Review
Flash Bang is the perfect title for what happens to Rowan Callahan when a complete power grid failure sends the United States into a post-apocalyptic situation. Good thing for Rowan, her father is a doomsday prepper, so she knows exactly what needs to be done in order to survive and head back to her family home. But on her way, that’s when her life takes a new direction, and she finds herself wanting a relationship that she would have never considered before – one that would be considered taboo in modern society, but with what has happened to society, it seems only fitting that people rely on their own desires to find happiness in the chaos that has ensued and that’s exactly what she plans to do – people’s opinions be damned.
I absolutely loved Rowan! She is a kickass heroine who can hold her own in almost any situation. When she arrives on Castle Creek Whitetail Ranch, she has every intention to flee and make it home to her family – the people she has let down far too often in her life – despite the fact that there are two strong and handsome men who stake a claim for her body and her heart.
Zach and Graham are the perfect pair for Rowan because they bring different qualities into their relationship. They are definitely both alpha males and take know how to take control, but they also play off of each other’s personality, enabling both of them to get what they want. Zach is more of a carefree guy than Graham is, which works well because Graham is a bit high strung. But regardless of how quick tempered Graham is, he’s also incredibly protective and yearns to have someone put him first for once in his life.
I love that Meghan March keeps Rowan a snarky, witty, and stubborn woman throughout the story despite her affection for the two alpha males in her life. March has also created a great cast of characters to surround her leading woman and men with and hopefully their stories will be told as well.
It’s an interesting setting that this menage story takes place in, and I’m sure it’s only going to be more intriguing as the US tries to regroup and seek help from those who can provide it. In a post-apocalyptic environment, rules and regulations are a thing of the past, so as word spreads about the ranch, Graham and is men are going to have to protect their group as well as their land, and it’s not going to end well for some of them.
