Book Review Fuel for Fire (Black Knights #10) Julie Ann Walker

Fuel for Fire by Julie Ann Walker
Title: Fuel For Fire

Author: Julie Ann Walker

Stars: 4 out of 5

Review:
I have read all the BLK series by Julie Ann Walker and each one builds on the next book so its best to read this series from the start but you don't have to. The reader will keep readers from getting lost.
While I enjoy the fact Julie Ann Walker went from the characters only having the one night together because neither one is sure this is what they truly want. I had such high hopes for these two characters and I found the book lacking the humor I was hoping to enjoy.  It was almost as if the characters lost their bite from the several other books they were in.
The book seem disjointed as if the author wrote this book in part and pushed them all together in hopes it would work. It worked as well as it could. The sex is spicy but too much inner monologue between the two characters. 
Dagan Zoelner  was as always very no dis-script and nothing about him really stood out. While Chelsea seem to lose her bite and playfulness she had in the other books. Chelsea character was always fun but Julie seem to take that away from the characters and instead of moving forward she moved backwards causing the story to take steps back from her adventurous previous stories.
This story left a lot of open ended question which as a reader I will assume will be picked up in the next in the series.
That is where I think the author might lose readers.

Thank you to the Author Julie Ann Walker for an advance copy as well as netgalley 

Synopsis:
A brooding covert operative and a spunky CIA agent discover a burning passion in the next installment of Julie Ann Walker's red-hot BKI series
Dagan Zoelner has made three huge mistakes
The first two left blood on his hands.
The third left him wondering...what if? What if he had told the woman of his dreams how he felt before his world fell apart?
Spitfire CIA agent Chelsea Duvall has always had a thing for bossy, brooding Dagan. It's just as well that he's never given her a second look, since she carries a combustible secret about his past that threatens to torch their lives..
