The death of her father and brother drives Kelsey to even the score, but there’s too much danger to go it alone. She needs a bodyguard, and the perfect man for the job is none other than the one man she never wanted to see again.
Flashbacks force Adam out of the Army, but he isn’t done with being a warrior. Hired as Kelsey’s personal bodyguard, Adam vows to protect her. But it’s a rough road, and he needs more than luck to survive.
They will face their hardest challenges yet. Will it rip them apart or bring them together?
Survive the Fall was the first book I've experienced by Julia Bright. What I liked about it most was that it was different from any other "military guy leaves the army and starts his own security business" book I've read - and trust me I've read quite a few. I loved that as a reader I got to be there when the idea of doing something good and helpful formed for the first time in the back of the characters' minds. It was great to see how this idea took root and started to build up from the ground with the potential to grow to something really noble. I liked the characters, the passion they showed in anything they did, be it mending fences on a ranch or investigating bad guys. I loved their communication, there wasn't unnecessary drama but openness and honesty. Kelsey and Adam had great chemistry and even though they started out as a nameless one night stand fate had other plans for them. Fortunately.
I loved Jill Smith's narration. She did a superb job. I loved her voices. I enjoyed how clear she sounded and the high quality of the recording. She brought the characters to life and made a good story even better.
This book is about a woman who was devastated by the loss of her father and brother in a terrorist attack. She decides to get revenge by killing the terrorist herself and is able to get able from an ex-Army Ranger. There are great sex scenes as these two fall in love and attempt to fulfill her goal, along with a lot of suspenseful events such as vandalism on her ranch, storms (even a tornado), pressure from the FBI, and an attempt to rescue a young girl from being involved in human trafficking. The book is a great type of intro to a series if that is what the author plans. I highly recommend this book.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.
Kelsey has just lost her father and brother in a terrorist attack, while vacationing in Europe. In an attempt to bury her grief, Kelsey goes to a bar and has a one night stand with a guy she calls Brick. As if her life wasn't tanking enough, her grandfather...the only living relative left...dies the week of the funeral for her father and brother. Kelsey resolves to get revenge on the man who planned the attack, and now she has resources since it turns out the her grandfather was wealthy. Using her technology background, Kelsey has tracked down the terrorist master mind and has made plans to travel to Algeria to take him out. She needs to hire a bodyguard to travel to the country where women do not travel alone. Her security guy is none other than her one night stand...Adam aka Brick. The pair travel to Algeria, where Adam ends up committing the act for Kelsey. Upon returning to the USA, the pair begin to explore the mutual attraction. However, it appears that someone is sabotaging Kelsey's ranch. In addition, an FBI agent appears to suspect Kelsey and Adam's involvement in the terrorist's murder. This book is jam packed with action, as well as hot, steamy moments. Kelsey, Adam and one of Adam's former military buddies agree to create an agency of sorts, to help fight crime. This is a great beginning to the series. I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Survive the Fall is everything I love in a listen. It's romantic suspense, well developed characters and just enough steam! This is my first book by Julia Bright, and I hope it is not my last! Kelsey has just lost all of her loved ones, and seeks refuge in a one night stand. Adam is trying to adjust to civilian life after serving his country and dealing with PTSD. This unlikely couple meets and the chemistry is off the charts. When Kelsey begins a trek on a dangerous journey, Adam turns up to keep her safe. Will he be able to or is she in over her head? This story has so many great elements packed into it. Both characters are intense and interesting, but have deep flaws. I love that in a story, not having perfection always makes the story more real. Their mission is one we can all relate to, and as the story unfolds, and we meet different characters, it's hard to know who to trust and who is not. It's extremely well thought out, very suspenseful and full of romance and passion.
Jill Smith delivers a wonderful narration for this story. Her voice is one I could listen to regularly, with easy to distinguish voices, the perfect pacing and the inflection of fear, determination and love that is evident just from her performance. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next in the Dark Eagle series.

Another Great Book from Cherrylilly, though my first under Julia Bright. There's a little bit of everything in Survive The Fall. We meet 2 desperately heart broken strangers. Computer expert Kelsey (Angel) & ex Ranger Adam (Brick). She due to sudden deaths of her Dad & Brother & his from the explosion that killed his best mate & other comrades. They both decide to not know who they are but enjoy each other to help get rid of these 'ghosts' even if it's only for a few hours. Neither can forget about each other, though unexpectedly as Kelsey wants to avenge her father & brother's deaths, she goes out seeking someone to be her 'bodyguard' & that someone will be the stranger in town, no other than 'Brick'. So here we see what & how things come about & see if it was the alcohol OR if there's a connection between these 2 lost souls. As it seems the person Kel wants to take the revenge on is also the same one Adam to. They're kindred spirits really & when fate comes along there's nothing that can be done. Great storyline & characters
Great Story, Great Audible Listen!🎧 4.5 Fabulous Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Survive the Fall Dark Eagle, Book 1 By: Julia Bright Narrated by: Jill Smith
I thoroughly enjoyed “Survive The Fall”, the story is well written and well told, it captures your attention right from the start to the very end. The storylines are interesting and original with lots drama, action, suspense and romance. The lead characters, Kelsey and Adam are broken from loss and PTSD. I liked the chemistry between the two, their 1st encounter was hot. I liked Adam’s protective nature and Kelsey’s determination for revenge. Great plotting by the author, if only revenge in real life could work out as their operation did. This is a great start to a series, they make a great team. I am looking forward to Jackson’s story, love his personality and sense of humor. Julia Bright, thank you for the great story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Jill Smith does a terrific job narrating and telling the story. She brings the characters to life and entertains the listeners. Thank you for the great listen.

I loved this book. I’d definitely give it 5+ stars if I could. It was very well written and captivated me from beginning to end. The story flowed smoothly with logical stages. The characters and their stories were unique and interesting. This author wrote in a way that had me watching a movie in my head rather than just reading a series of words. I’ll absolutely be on the lookout for more wonderful stories from this author.

This brilliantly written story had me hooked right from the start, as Kelsey is torn apart after the death of her Father and Brother through a Terrorist attack in Florence. Trying to dull the ache in her heart she hooks up with a rough looking Man in a local bar, for a night of hot sex. Two strangers both struggling with pain through a simular place, have an instant connection. Wow... this was such a great story, that had me flicking through the pages. I will be picking up book 2 so I can see what happens next.....
WOW!! I was not expecting such a great book. I love it!! the suspense written in this book is good, the connection the characters have is brought together well and the story was wonderfully written. I really can't wait to see what else this author writes next I believe I just found my next favorite author.

This was my first Julia Bright's book. This is the first book in the Dark Eagle Series. This is a great Romantic Suspense. I loved to follow Kelsey and Adam in their journey. They share an instant attraction and a great and beautiful chemistry. The storyline is suspenseful and captivating. I can't wait for the next book in the Series. Jill Smith did a great job with the narration. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily written this review.
I enjoyed this intense and suspenseful read. A powerful storyline that is filled with drama, passion, anger, grief, action, romance and vengeance. The chemistry between Kelsey and Adam just sizzles and it is so easy to connect with Kelsey's thirst for revenge for her family. This is a very engaging and entertaining read. This is my totally voluntary, honest review.
First off, this needs to be proofread, grammar and spelling mistakes and people's names changing made it hard to read in places. For me, the book went off in so many directions I wasn't really sure what sort of book I was reading. I liked Adam but found it harder to connect to the others, all in all a confusing read for me. I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an ARC.
She has no experience in fighting or protecting herself but she has the drive. She will avenge her fathers and brothers murder. He was only meant to be a one night stand but it seems he is coming along for the ride. He knew he would help her but what has he got himself into now. See how they get on

The first book in a new series called Dark Eagle and I know I want the next book to read. There is suspense, drama, danger, kidnapping, two people who get a second chance. A well-written book that I enjoyed reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A one night stand turns out to become much more than that. The main characters has a lot thrown at them and that makes it a nice read. The drama, danger, mystery, passion, love, chemistry and twist keeps the reader on the edge and makes the story captivating. Recommendable to others that want a bit more drama in their romances.
This was a great story and was very entertaining. Once I started I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between the hero and heroine is sizzling hot. I would recommend this to anyone that loves a great love story.

Kelsey has just lost all of her loved ones and is seeking revenge. She finds the terrorist that was responsible for the death of her family and is intent on seeking revenge. She has hired the man that she could not forget and he wants more than to be her bodbodyguard. They develop a relationship through all the drama unfolding in their lives.
The story kept taking interesting twists I never anticipated, keeping me guessing what would happen next. There were many insights in the storyline that I found especially interesting. I love Angel and Brick's chemistry and the way in which their unique relationship developed.
Kelsey and Adam are wonderful characters! I like their chemistry and connection! I really like how he wants to find her after meeting her but doesn’t know where to look!! And that he finds her and she has so much happening!!! And the addition of Jackson to their crew... it made for a good book Jill Smith does a good job with the narration!
