About the author
P.J. Fiala
69 books824 followersI was born in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri named Bridgeton. During my time in Missouri, I explored the Ozarks, swam in the Mississippi River, played kickball and endless games of hide and seek with the neighborhood kids. Spending summers in Kentucky with my Grandmother, Ruth, are the fondest childhood memories for me.
At the age of thirteen, my family moved to Wisconsin to learn to farm. Yes, learn to farm! That was interesting. Taking city kids and throwing them on a farm with twenty-eight cows purchased from the Humane Society because they had been abused, was interesting. I learned to milk cows, the ins and outs of a breeding schedule, feeding schedule and the never ending haying in the summer and trying to stay warm in the winter. Our first winter in Wisconsin, we had thirty-six inches of snow in one storm and were snowed in our house for three days! Needless to say, I wasn’t loving Wisconsin.
I am now married with four children and three grandchildren. I have learned to love Wisconsin, though I still hate snow. Wisconsin and the United States are beautiful and my husband and I travel around by motorcycle seeing new sites and meeting new people. It never ceases to amaze me how many people are interested in where we are going and what we have seen along the way. At every gas station, restaurant and hotel, we have people come up to us and ask us about what we are doing and offering advice on which roads in the area are better than others and great rides others have been on if we are interested.
I come from a family of veterans. My grandfather, father, brother and two of my sons and one daughter-in-law are all veterans. Needless to say, I am proud. Proud to be an American and proud of the service my amazing family has given.

Ford: Finding His Fire by PJ Fiala
Book 1 of the Big 3 Security series. Romantic suspense.
Ford has been searching for the escaped felon that burned down his parents home for a long time. He finds Megan, the ex wife of the felon, working as a waitress at a diner. When her house explodes, Ford is determined to protect her.
I loved that these are slightly older characters in their 40’s. Megan has been harassed and threatened but stays strong and self reliant. I think Ford was a little to self centered at times but the chemistry between Ford and Megan was quick (maybe a little too soon but tense situations) and strong. There are multiple consensual sex scenes that are explosively steamy.
There are a couple of questions that I’m hoping will get answered in the next series book.
Good suspense and emotion.
🎧 I listened to an audiobook version narrated by Troy Duran and Rose Dioro. Each had their own chapters and did both voices from their POV. They did a fantastic job with emotions and voice nuance. I listened to most of this book at 1.2 for the best conversational speed to my ear.

Hot Rod Bounty Hunters
Oh, the dirty talking in this book is... palpable. Ford wants to know if Megan feels it. I don't know about her but I certainly did! Woo-wee! 🔥💥🎉
Partnered with the heat, this also contains serious subject matter (drugs - dealers and addiction), explosions, tenderness, tears, violence, and bits of humor, like:
When they aren't steaming things up, Megan and Ford are getting to know each other, avoiding danger, and cleaning their lives of toxic exes. It is quite the ride! One that I very much enjoyed! 😘
I received an author's copy of the audio book and occasionally read along on my Kindle. The narrators, Rose Dioro and Troy Duran, each embodied their primary character. I do wish that they maintained their voice throughout each chapter with duet narration, but they did do a good job with dual narration.
This is my first book from PJ but won't be the last

"Is your whole family involved with criminals?"
[Ford] chuckled. "Nah, just Emmy and me. Dawson’s a plumber and owns his own company. He deals in shit, just not the same kind as Emmy and me."
[Megan] giggled. "That's a good one."

It's mostly meh BUT I upped it a star because the heroine is OVER 40, Y'ALL!!! SO FLIPPING EXCITED.
I am sick and tired of all these damn 18-20 y/o virgins. Give me a fucking break. How many damn romance books are going to be written around the same boring crap? Women DO age, you know. As we still like Romance and being romanced. And *gasp* we still like sex.

This is the first book in PJ Fiala’s Big 3 Security series.
I love that Ford & Megan are in their 40s and the balance of suspense and romance was nice, but definitely leaned heavier on the romance. The blurb made me think there’d be more action than the story delivered. This is best when you’re in the mood for instalove.
There's a forced proximity which means the Ford & Megan have a lot of time to get to know each other. Even though the story only lasted a few days - it was obvious they were a great fit beyond just sex & physical attraction. The ending was kind of meandering, but sweet.
Narration:
I enjoyed Troy Duran and Rose Dioro’s performances. They were a great fit for the characters and easy to listen to.
While I own the ebook, I did receive a copy of the audio via StoryOrigin and am leaving an honest review.

Ford is determined to locate the man responsible for the death of his parents and he believes that questioning the ex-wife of the man’s cousin will get him the answers he needs. He wasn’t expecting the danger that Megan was in due to her ex’s illegal and questionable choices.
Megan wants nothing to do with her ex as he had gotten her in trouble with the law in the past. She wants nothing to do with either Ford or Marcus, the other man who is looking for her ex, however when she finds herself in danger there is no one better to have by her side than Ford.
Both Ford and Megan have been burned by love in the past but when circumstances throw them together, they bring out the best in each other as they find themselves fighting for justice and each other. I enjoyed the performance of the narrators as it brought out the protector in Ford and the resilience of Megan as they face every challenge life throws at them.

The couple: Ford and Megan
Romance genre: Romantic suspense
Series: The Bounty Hunters/Big 3 Security
Length: 266 pages
Plot: Ford is so close to closing the case of his parents' killer, but on the way to court, the accused escapes with the help of his cousin, Waylon. Ford, a bounty hunter, goes to track them down, and starts by looking into Waylon's ex-wife, Megan. He finds a beautiful, smart woman who unfortunately doesn't know anything that will help his case. But he does notice that someone else is watching her, and she's not safe anymore. Walon and his cousin have gotten mixed up with a cartel and Ford intends to keep Megan safe from harm.
Character development: It was nice to read a story about slightly older characters. The story was written in a way that the author didn't even have to mention the characters' ages, but did, so it was deliberate, and I appreciated that aspect of the story.
While Megan and Ford did seem to really cherish each other, there were a couple of times when I wanted to slap him. He had been helping in the case of his parents' deaths for years, and it was absolutely a tragedy - and fresh for him. But Megan didn't know anything about it. It's not that she didn't see it as important, it's just that it wasn't even on her radar - different town, different group of people, different industry, everything. So for him to snap at her for not "thinking of others" right after her house along with all of her possessions burned down - well, it wasn't cool. And then she apologized and he accepted her apology, when I think he should have apologized for being a butthead to her.
I would have like to have known a little more about Megan's nursing career - is that something she wanted to continue? Was there a way for her to do that? What was life like after she lost her license (which is what I assume happened)?

Finding His Fire is an excellent romantic suspense novel and a fantastic start to F. J. Fiala's series. I have only recently found P. J. Fiala's books, and I am pleased that I did. I enjoyed P. J. FFiala'swriting style because it kept me engaged from the first page to the end. I understand the issues that arson caused for communities and the person who lit the fires.
I enjoy the way P. J. Fiala portrays his characters and their interactions throughout this book. Finding His Fire is well written and researched by P. J. Fiala. I like P. J. Fiala's descriptions of the settings in Finding His Fire, which let me imagine being part of the book's plot.

The blurb for this story intrigued me so I thought I'd give it a go...and I'm glad I did.
Megan has not had life go as she expected and neither has Ford. When an unwanted connection brings them together the action and flames begin. I really enjoyed the flow of this story and felt that everything was tied up nicely ... including the set up for the next in the series.

It's not a very shocking book, it's following the standard format for romance pretty well, but it's entertaining, even though everything went a little fast.

Okay
This book just didn't grab my attention. I did try because I like a little mystery and suspense but the storyline and characters fell short for me.

I listened to the audio book and really enjoyed it. I listened to it straight through and kept wanting to know what was going to happen next. It was an interesting suspense/romance. There were times where I was trying to guess what was going to happen. Such as: will he find the guy that escaped prison that was responsible for the death of his parents, would him and Megan fall in love, would Ford figure out who set fire to Megan's house and why was Marcus following her around. There was a lot going on that kept me trying to figure it out. All in all I would recommend it and hope others enjoy it as much as I did.

Ford: Finding His Fire was the first book I've ever read by author PJ Fiala.
In his search to find the arsonist who killed his parents, he meets his ex-wife who's being chased down. After multiple attempts on their lives, he brings her into his home to keep her safe while he and his siblings work on apprehending her ex.
Her experience with her ex was nothing but abuse and his is seeking justice for his family. Along the way, we learn of the skeletons in both their closets while they attempt to fight the feelings they have for each other.
Any romance that adds a fair amount of suspense and intrigue is going to draw my attention and this one was no exception. I love the part where there's a nice romance developing but the entire way is fraught with danger and page-turning suspense.
I can't wait to read the next book in this series and look forward to delving further into Fiala's books.
This book was provided to me as an iBook in exchange for an honest review.

Couldn't finish this...
Two things have to happen to make a book good for me. One, I have to be able to somewhat relate to the characters, and two is being able to suspend belief enough that the premise could happen. The first is on me, the second is on the writer.
With every new ridiculous character and city name, it got harder for me to pretend it was real. Mentioning one of the bad guys set the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge fires took it further. You can't reference a real event and change the facts behind it. Ford still being married because of a house was my last straw. That's just not how divorce works, and if after several years you can't legally end your marriage to a drug addicted cheater (and your sister is a lawyer) you've crossed into being too stupid to be any kind of hero. I rarely quit a book, but I'm adding this one to my no list.

Ford: Finding His Fire
Big 3 Security, Book 1
By: PJ Fiala
Narrated by: Rose Dioro, Troy Duran
This is a fantastic romantic suspense and an amazing start to a new series, the story is original with interesting storylines that drew me in right from the start, grabbing my attention and captivating it the entire book. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about them too.Ford Montgomery, former Army Ranger, is a bounty hunter and his current assignment hits close to home, he is hunting for an escaped prisoner, but not just any prisoner, but the one who murdered his parents, Bobby Ray June. Ford’s investigation leads him to the ex-wife of the man who helped Bobby Ray, but Megan Marshall has nothing to do with her ex-husband, Waylon June, since the divorce. But Ford sees he is not the only one who is watching Megan, a known member of a drug cartel is also watching her and it looks like he is getting more aggressive with her. Megan does not know what her ex was involved with and she does not understand why it is causing problems for her. Ford is good at reading people and he sees Megan is in over her head and in danger. He takes her, brings her to a safe place and comes up a plan to find out what is going on with her ex-husband, why the cartel want him while tracking down Bobby Ray. The chemistry between Megan and Ford is electric and the two are great together and for each other. There is never a dull moment in this book, the story is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, some angst, action, mystery, thrilling suspense and a steamy romance. PJ Fiala, thank you for this awesome story and the thrilling, emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, PJ Fiala chose the perfect cast to bring her characters and story to life. Rose Dioro and Troy Duran are superbly talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that fit their character’s persona to a tee, sounding believable and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Troy Duran played Ford’s role with perfection, grasping his alpha badassery completely. Rose Dora did the same for Megan, grasping her sweetness and innocence and then her strength. Both were great at performing the roles of the secondary characters as well. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.feeling every single one.. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Ford Montgomery arrived to see his brother and sister waiting for him at the courthouse steps. They were finally getting justice today. The man who set the fire four years ago that killed their parents was finally going to pay for his crimes. On top of their parents' murders, he was also suspected of starting fires that had devastated both Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge.
When the sheriff approached they knew he was getting ready to deliver bad news. Bobby Ray June had escaped on the way to the courthouse helped by his cousin Waylon. The sheriff asked if Ford wanted the bounty to bring him back in.
Meghan had worked at the Log Cabin Restaurant for the last four years. Thanks to her ex-husband Waylon, she had to leave her nursing job after being set up to do a drug run for him. How she didn't see that he was a drug dealer was beyond her, but thankfully she divorced him as soon as her bail had been posted.
When she arrives to work she sees Marcus sitting in a booth. Why won't he take 'she doesn't know' as an answer when he wanted to know where to find Waylon? Evidently, he had stolen something and Marcus wanted it back.
As she is getting ready for her shift a gorgeous stranger walks in the door. He places his order only to find out he is also looking for Waylon. But, instead of theft, he wanted him to lead him to Bobby Ray for murdering his parents.
This book is narrated by Rose Dioro & Troy Duran. It is the first that I have listened to either of these narrators and I loved how they brought this story to life. Rose perfectly portrayed Meghan and Troy has this deep, soothing, I am in control voice that I loved listening to.
This book is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. The story has a few unexpected twists and turns that put a wrench in their romance that is already troubled with danger and suspense.
This book is full of steamy hot sexual content and these narrators brought Ford and Meghan's story to life from the first word. Highly recommend this audio! This is the first time I have read PJ Fiala, but I highly recommend her and will be reading (listening) to more of her writing in the future!
When the sheriff approached they knew he was getting ready to deliver bad news. Bobby Ray June had escaped on the way to the courthouse helped by his cousin Waylon. The sheriff asked if Ford wanted the bounty to bring him back in.

DNF. Boring, unrealistic and didn’t match the plot.
I just couldn’t get into this. I tried several times and in the end I gave up. As well as being boring it’s not very well written. The author wants us to believe that Meghan who was a qualified nurse and obviously intelligent, didn’t notice her ex husband was a drug dealer? What did she think he did for work? She speaks about him as though they led separate lives, and she wasn’t in love with him. So why when he asks her to drop a box off to his friend, does she not question it? I’d be asking what’s in it? Why can’t you drop it off? It doesn’t make sense that she’s married to a man and she doesn’t know where he works!!
Then there’s the plot. When the job is too big for local police, Lynyrd Station calls in the security team. They eliminate the threat when no one else can. WHAT TEAM? THERE ISN’T A TEAM! Just Ford. Ford’s parents were murdered by a man who is friends with Meghan’s ex husband, and for some bizarre reason everyone thinks she holds the clue to where they are. Meghan is being watched by a drug cartel (😂😂) and Ford as they all believe that after six years with no contact that her ex is suddenly going to contact her? Oh okay then.
Trailing the arsonist who killed his parents, Ford Montgomery will do anything to take down the entire cartel who ruined his life. But when that trail leads to a sexy waitress who's embroiled in it all, Ford knows he can't turn back now. ITS NOT THE ENTIRE CARTEL!! IT’S TWO MEN WHO HAVE A CONNECTION TO THEM!!
When Meghan is in danger, Ford takes her to his house and they sort of have a relationship. He thinks she may have done drugs in the past, but he still wants her. 😂 She believes he’s only helping her to get to her ex husband. Okay then.
The plot didn’t match the book, and didn’t make sense.

After the arsonist responsible for his parents' deaths escapes from custody, bounty hunter Ford Montgomery takes the case, determined to bring him back for justice. The case takes him to a small town where a sweet diner waitress may hold the key to finding his criminal. This puts her life at risk. After a known cartel member threatens Megan and her house blows up, Ford takes her into protective custody. And as he closes in on his target, things heat up between him and Megan. This case changes everything.
I enjoyed this book, but had issues with some of the plot, mostly with the main character's former relationships. Megan was a smart woman, yet didn't know anything about her ex or question what he was up to. She didn't even know what was taking place in her own house. Ford was embroiled in a years-long divorce battle over his house, while his estranged wife is an addict living with her boyfriend/dealer. Neither of these scenarios is realistic.
WARNING: SPOILER:
-
-
-
Ford's actions right before his wedding nearly ruined his character for me. On the biggest day of his new life, he decides to ride along on a call for a body that may be his ex-wife?!? Really, why? There's no way this plays out well. The emotional toll this would cause would ruin the day if it were her, and even if it's not, seeing a dead body before walking down the aisle doesn't scream wedding day vibes. It didn't have to be Ford, and if he had gotten caught up in the dead lady case and missed his own wedding, then he would have ruined Megan's day and jeopardized their future. Unnecessary, selfish, stupid storyline. Finally, the ties between his ex-wife's current partner, Megan's ex, and the arsonist were ridiculous. The cousin angle was fine, but having a known cartel head just living casually in town and the authorities knowing about him is too much for me to accept. He's supposedly so dangerous, yet they let him live normally, do his illegal drug business, threaten, and date without any interference. Sure, Cartel in the Suburbs.

5 Star Review by Jodi
I loved this book. I loved everything about this book. I loved Ford and just what a truly amazing man he is. He didn't set out looking for love, but boy did it find him. Megan is everything I wanted in a heroine and more. I loved how sweet and naive she was. I loved how there was no denying the chemistry between her and Ford. And boy did they have chemistry. It was off the freaking charts.
I loved everything about this story. It was beautifully written and sucked me in from the very beginning. I'm new to PJ Fiala, but you can guarantee she has a new fan. The detail in this story was phenomenal. The way this story was written it made me feel so many emotions. I was sad for Ford and his family. It was such a tragic, senseless loss that his family was morning. I felt hurt for Megan and the lies she was inadvertantly messed up in. I felt the love between Ford and Megan. It takes a great author to make you feel these kinds of emotions in one story, PJ Fiala did that for me and more.
I sincerely hope you all will check out this amazing story. I honestly can't wait for the next book. I'm hoping we get to see Ford and Megan again.

I enjoyed everything about this story, including the suspense as his character searches for justice. Ford Montgomery and his siblings are on the way to the courthouse for the trial of Bobby Ray June, the man who killed their parents. When they are notified that he has escaped along with his brother, Waylon, bounty hunter Ford leaves to track them down. He visits with Megan, a waitress and the ex-wife of Waylon. When she is threatened by the cartel who believe she knows where her ex has hidden stolen drugs, Ford takes her to his home to keep her safe. As they spend time together, he tries to hide his attraction to her, but her quiet strength calls to him. She is attracted to him as well…has she finally found a man who will stay in her life? When she learns that he is married, although trying to divorce his drug addicted wife, should she leave? Before she can decide, her ex locates her and her life is on the line. Wil Ford finally get justice for his parents and find the love he so deserves with Megan? I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation, from the author, for an honest review.

I loved this book. I dove in and read straight through, it was that riveting.
I was rooting for Ford, the MMC, as well as for Meghan, the FMC. Both have made past relationship mistakes that have had lasting ramifications in their lives – and those decisions are part of the suspense that grabs and holds you through this book.
Steam? Yes, in a 5-chili pepper dose.
Suspense and action – 5 stars.
Twists? Yes – 4 stars.
And… 5 stars for having characters that I want to read about, again in future books. (I see this is going to be a series… yay!). I have already picked out the friends and family members “I” want to see more of!
For Meghan and Ford –they are “not young” but oh, how they prove that age is only a number as they more than set the world on fire, in the action and in the sheets. I appreciate that Ms. Fiala gives us these interesting characters that come from life experience (and a little personal growth through adversity).
I just finished the Bluegrass Security series before this, and I’ll be looking for more of her work. So far, every single book of hers has been a strong, well-written, and end-to-end romantic suspense. Highly recommend.

📖 This is the first book in the Lynyrd Station Protectors Security series ❤️📖
This is another amazing book with characters over 40 from PJ Fiala and I loved it! I think it is really awsome when you can find a story where love is not only for 20 something people.
When mature characters can find love again (and the sex scenes 🌶️🌶️🔥🔥oh my oh my)
Megan tries to live her live in peace, she has a good job at restaurant and her dream house after her grandma. She tries not to think about her past especially her ex-husband. But...
Ford is on the hunt to bring the man responsible of the death of his parents to justice. Only way how to find him is thru a redhead waitress - Megan.
Megan has to decide, if she can trust Ford, if he is going to be another man to leave her alone or someone who can make her happy forever.
The chemistry of this couple was great, I loved the tension between and their attempts to fight their attraction.
I liked the side-characters and the world where this story took the place,the story had a great tempo and I enyoje the storyline 😍📖❤️.
I am looking forward to read the next story in line-Finding his mark.
