/0 Comments/in /by

This is the 5th book of the WaterFrye Rising series. This book continues the stories of the other friends in their group. This book is about Arrow who is a former navy seal and now a wine entrepreneur billionaire and Vivian a pediatric dentist and a self defense instructor. They both have a traumatic past and have been trying to work through their the past the best they can. Arrow falls first and Vivian is hesitate but the attraction is off the charts for them both. Now they will work together to try and stop some very bad people and rescue a little girl. This is a stand alone book but I suggest you read the others first to get more background on the other couples.

The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising, #5)The Strategist by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Arrow Holt is a man who knows what he wants and how to get it, since he enlisted and through his career as a Navy SEAL, he always had to have a strategy and this is still true in every aspect of his life, both business and personal and he has a lot of different business interests, as well as working on his passion project, the WaterFyre Rising game he is developing with his friends. Vivian Vo is a paediatric dentist who has a dark past, she loves her job, as well as the community work she does for those who don’t have insurance, however, she has a lot on her mind as well, she is looking for something, or someone to help her with the ties to her past which have encroached on her present.

Arrow and Vivian know each other through their friendship groups and ever since he laid eyes on her for the first time, he knew that she was the one for him, however, whenever he asks her on a date she always declines, but he is not put off that easily, meanwhile, Vivian knows that she is attracted to him, however, she doesn’t have the time or energy for a romance with everything on her mind, that is until one day he asks for a duel and she reluctantly accepts. This all comes to a head when they are snowed in and Vivian is on the warpath because she feels like despite everything Arrow is saying, it seems like she will just be a one and done, so she goes to give him a piece of mind which ends up firing up the attraction between and causing it to ignite into a passion neither of them can deny.

This leads to them discovering each others scars and deepest emotions, as well as the hidden aspects of their lives, so while they discover each other, they realise that their stories are intertwined in a way neither of them expected when the Triad raises its ugly head and creates problems nobody could forsee, but will their romance continue to burn brightly, or will their pasts extinguish what could be perfection? This is a dark romance with danger around every turn and a mystery which readers will have to unravel as light is brought into the darkness surrounding the characters throughout this enthralling story.

Five book into this seven part series and the fire keeps on coming. They have more in common than they think. Both have a traumatic past and both are looking for a bad guy. Although Arrow tries several times to get Vivian to give him a chance she continuously shoots him down. She believes that he has given up and moved on, but danger comes knocking at her door. Arrow will do anything and everything in his power to keep her safe. All of these books have been great and can all be read on their own. Each book has a little something unique and will keep you reading to see what happens next. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next one!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve read the previous books of this series and have been hooked ever since! The tantalizing suspense and mystery mixed with long time connected characters and romance keeps readers engaged and wanting to know more! This story focuses on Arrow, who is a former Navy Seal and now has ventured into the wine business. As many before him, his former life has left him with internal scars that are hard to heal and persist to haunt him. Sometimes having those scars and seeing more detrimental ones on others makes one more vulnerable and open to respond. As a result, he meets Vivian and with her hidden agenda ends up being a protector in Arrow. Characters grow on you and you can relate to their situations. Great read and cannot wait for the other ones to come out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in the WaterFyre Rising series, and I’ve got to say that this one is now my favorite! While I have enjoyed each installment of this series and each have their own lovely quirks, this one won me over. This author has such an incredible talent in expertly crafting a captivating storyline that unfolds naturally. There are no misplaced chapters that jolt you out of the story because the flow is just perfect! The character development is top-notch as we get to experience Arrow and Vivian’s relationship. The push and pull dynamic between them is addictive, and their chemistry is palpable. I lost a bit of sleep with this one as I couldn’t find it in myself to put the book down! The danger, secrets, chemistry, and drama will have you wanting more. I highly recommend picking up this entire series so you don’t miss out. I can’t wait to see what is next for WaterFyre Rising!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 5 in the WaterFyre Rising series. Even though these books can be read as standalone Indo recommend reading them in order so you can get a more complete picture of the WaterFyre men and how they find themselves where they are now
I have enjoyed every book in this series and this one was just as enjoyable. The author has an amazing way of gripping a reader and making them completely invested in the characters lives. Another thing I love about these stories is that they are told from a duel perspective so you get a complete story from both characters and not just a one sided story
This is a story that is filled with drama, angst, hot chemistry, secrets and danger
Both of our lead characters Arrow and Vivian have had traumatic pasts but both of them are trying to better themselves despite their demons.
Vivian is a strong independent woman. She has had a lot to deal with in her life and things aren’t getting any easy as she is trying to locate a girl who has been kidnapped. With everything she has goes on the last thing she needs is romance and when Arrow approaches her she turns him down. However when they meet again she can’t deny the attraction she feels towards him. There is something about him she is struggling to resist but is it a wise decision to let him in?
Arrow has his own demons that he fights with everyday. He struggles to trust and let people in but there is something about Vivian. When he is near her the demons he fights seem to calm and he doesn’t want that feeling to stop. However she isn’t making it easy for him. She is resisting him at every turn. Can he persist and eventually break through the wall she has around herself?
When Vivian goes up against some dangerous people all Arrow wants to do is protect her but will she allow him close enough to protect her from this danger or will she keep pushing him away to protect herself from the danger giving him her heart could cause?

This story is captivating and gripping. I wanted them to find peace and happiness they deserved together but it wasn’t an easy ride for them. I couldn’t stop reading.

The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising, #5)The Strategist by Nadia Han

The Strategist was an amazing story full of excitement, and tons of action, I couldn’t put the book down! I loved how detailed the author was when developing the characters, and how dynamic each one was, especially with their traumatic backstories that connected the main characters so well. This was the first book in the WaterFyre Rising series that I have read, and I must say I am excited to find the others and start from the beginning of the series. Nadia Han did an amazing job in bringing to life the suspense in this story, I was on the edge of my seat throughout the story hoping that the missing girl would be found. At the same time, the budding romance between Vivian and Arrow is just the right amount of push and pull that has you cheering for her to finally give the guy a chance to see how compatible they really could be. This story is so full of unexpected twists and turns and has the perfect mix of romance, drama, suspense, and mystery, it is plain out awesome!

Arrow Holt is an ex-Navy strategist who has been trying to get Vivian Vo to notice him. Running in the same circles, Arrow has twice asked her out, but she repeatedly turns him down. This time, Arrow won’t take “no” for an answer. As they move toward finally taking a chance on each other, both of them have secrets that could get in the way. I love this series and each book just keeps getting better!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 5th book in the series and my first. I have not read the other books in the series but I will be going back to do that after I write this. The author has chosen to write each book about a different set of characters or that is what I am gathering from reading this one. I feel that if I would have read the others first, I would have more in depth knowledge about all the characters. However, that doesn’t diminish this book at all. As a reader you are able to grab ahold of the ideas that the author is putting to paper. You will find yourself cheering on the characters and really feeling their emotions as the book continues. The writing will have you unable to look up from reading and unable to put the book down when you know you should. Each character in this book has struggled in life and reading how they have tried to better themselves individually and then seeing how they could be even better together. The push and pull with the added suspense of the story makes this a very riveting read. All of this with the chemistry of the characters is what is making me binge read the other books in this series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Strategist is the 5th book in the WaterFyre Rising book by Nadia Han and can be read as a stand-alone

Arrow Holt- Abused by his alcoholic father for many years. When he got older he gained a fortune selling wine.

Vivian Vo- A dentist who helps families who don’t have insurance get the care they need. She also teaches self-defense classes to help people so they never end up in a situation like she has.

Arrow wants the girl- She rejects him twice but wants him too.
She tries to keep her distance from him, but when their separate missions force them to work together, it makes everything harder. As they work together to find a missing girl and put an end to an international criminal organization they grow closer to one another. Their chemistry together, his understanding of her past and wanting to be there, the healing journey, the drama… just all of it, is off the wall! Such a great read. I will definitely be reading the other 4 books, as well as the 6th book in the series!

This is an action-packed book full of twists and turns you never see coming…and just when you think you’ve got it figured out…you don’t. This is the fifth book in the WaterFyre Rising series but it was the first one I read and while there were some plot holes (for me because I jumped in way late) I’m going to go back a read the others so that I can fill myself in. I loved the way Han developed her characters and drove her storyline. She grabs you and pulls you in before you even know what hits you. Her characters are just so so deep and you get so attached to them. I really enjoyed this read and I can’t wait to go catch myself up on everything I’ve missed. I really recommend this book (and if the series is anything like it, I’m going to recommend the series as well). Happy Reading!

Good grief talk about a tall drink of water ! Have you drooled all over this cover ?!🔥

Arrow is an ex navy seal now winemaker and between me and you I’m sure we could mulch the grapes into nectar on his abs 🤣🙈🔥 but there’s a darker side to this delectable man , a dude that hides hurt and scars , a side that he’s hidden in a vault and I almost thought he’d never crack that is until a beautiful woman crosses his path , he’s sees the hurt and scars in her and all he wants to do is “ heal” and protect her ( cue deep sigh)

Vivian isn’t just beautiful but she’s smart as well and she’ll keep your pearly whites shiny ( she’s a dentist) she’s not easily swayed by Arrow’s attempts but I must give it to him he’s a determined man and goes after what he wants 🤭😉

Don’t let Vivian fool you she’s also on the hunt for a bad and brutal individual which places her in a very dangerous position but do not fret Arrow is close by and he’s all protector 🔥

This just ticked all my boxes , there was spice , tension , fear , swoon moments and times where I just wanted to push her aside and say “ I’ll have you Arrow” 🥰🤣

A brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read

Welcome to Arrow and Vivian’s story. What a story it is! So intense and so romantic yet so dangerous. Arrow is a retired Navy Seal, that was what caught my eye. Vivian is a dentist and has no time for romance, Arrow is the same no time for romance. But as life would have it these two people are thrown together and are fighting for their lives. Such a fast paced suspenseful story. I loved every page. I could not put this story down. The author has once again brought out the best in her character’s and kept the story going. The story is loaded with all the right feels and is so intense you can’t help but fall in love with both the story, the author and her characters. I recommend you read this series in order, even though this could be a standalone. There is so much to discover and uncover. I am looking forward to book 6 in this series.

The Strategist is the fifth book in the WaterFyre Rising Series and is a Romantic Suspense that will have you turning the pages till the end. I was pulled in from the beginning and found myself lost in the pages. I however read it in one afternoon sitting because I had to know how things were going to play out. These two definitely have chemistry between them. Vivian and Arrow, he’s a navy seal with a very haunting past and she’s a dentist who doesn’t make time or have much time for romance. Can these two get a second chance at Romance even after only one night? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

The Strategist: A Forced Proximity Romance (WaterFyre Rising Book 5)

I have been in love with this series from the beginning and that hasn’t changed after five books. If anything I think I might be falling a little deeper.

Arrow and Vivian both have scars from their past, some more visible than others. While there is a crazy attraction from the beginning Vivian is on a mission and that is where her focus is.

Arrow didn’t have the easiest childhood but he had his best friends and we know how much they mean when you didn’t have much else. He has really gone above and beyond any expectations anyone could have put on him.

Once again not a dull moment in this story, while the focus was in Arrow and Vivian we get some time with the others. Now to patiently wait until fall for the next book to be released.

From the start to finish, this book is very well put together. There is just enough romance and action to keep the reader intrigued. I love how the author intertwines each main character, Vivian and Arrow, in the story. They are in the same social circles without realizing it. I especially like how the characters grow with each other, emotionally and mentally. I highly recommend reading this book.

The Strategist By Nadia Han is the fifth book in the Water Fyre series, that I have to say was AMAZING and a book I was able to finish in two sittings. While yes, it is in a series you can read as a standalone. The other parts are now sitting on my kindle and ready to read! Nadia Han is also a new author to me, and one I now want more of. The character building, the slow start, the building of the intense feelings with the character all make for an amazing read!
Vivian and Arrow are the main characters in this book, and OH these two. Vivian has a past and that past made her build walls all around her, then comes Arrow, who also has a past and scars. But he wants Vivian and wants to tear down all the walls she has built around her!

I highly recommend this book and can not wait to read more in the series!

I won’t go into the actual storyline because I just know there is too much that I could give away without meaning too and I refuse to spoil it for anyone. Just know I loved Arrow!
This book, as all her books in this fabulous series do, has an amazing mix of wonderful characters and creative storylines that truly will have you hooked. Now this is book 5 of the series and I have to say that I highly recommend reading entire series. I promise you will not regret a single second spent reading this wonderful authors work.

This is my first read by this author. This book can be read as a stand alone but I will go back and read the previous books are there are a few holes I’d like filled in.

Vivian is a dentist and a self defense instructor. She has a bit of a rocky past and she’s wanting to keep it pretty close to the vest. Arrow (love his name!) is an former Navy Seal who is a now a billionaire wine connoisseur. He spies Vivian and is instantly interested in speaking to her.

There are many layers to this story, as well as many great elements. The chemistry between these two keep things interesting with a mystery and some pretty intense feelings in play.

Overall, great story and I look forward to reading the previous books in this series.

The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising, #5)The Strategist by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Arrow Holt is a retired Navy Seal and is a part of the billionaire set but he has worked hard to get where he is. His childhood was not good and his escape into the Navy gave him a sense of purpose and instant family but the things he has seen has left a big mark on his life.
So, when he meets her, he has this overwhelming protection of her when Vivian gets into some trouble, but will she let him help her and can the attraction he feels be put aside.

Vivian has been through the ringer in life and does not trust very easily, when Arrow becomes part of her life, she at first tries hard to reject his advances but there is just something about him that she wants to trust. Vivian has spent her whole life being just her can she let this man into her world and open her heart to him.

This is the fifth book in the series and with every book I say it’s my favourite and this book does not disappoint. As always, the characters are rich and well developed with their backgrounds that you fall straight in love with them along the way. Although this is part of a series you can read as a standalone story but there is a story arc which runs through the books, but I feel this would not distract from the story.

Arrow has always been one of those characters mentioned in the other stories that I was intrigued to know his story and here it is, this character is an alpha male, but you see the vulnerable side to him which is always great to read in such alpha characters. Vivian was the perfect equal to him as she was fiercely independent and had a fire inside her which was just brilliant to read and see in her character.

The story is full of twist and turns and I was fully engaged with the story. Having these two characters the chemistry was off the page and I enjoyed as previously said the vulnerability they were prepared to show to each, and the slow burn of the trust and relationship had me on the edge of my seat.

Another great addition to the series and can’t wait to read more by this great author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Everything and more. This is the first book I have read by the incredibly talented Nadia Han though I have several of her books on my tbr, this was the first and I was over the moon with it. Yes, this is book five in the WaterFyre Rising series, but each book can be read as a standalone. I wasn’t confused or lost on anything, and it was explained what the previous four couples did to warrant the Trogyn being after him and his friends. Dual perspective of Arrow Holt and Vivian Vo.
Arrow has many accomplishments and interests including wine and video games. The one thing he wants is her. Vivian Vo is an accomplished pediatric dentist and martial arts master. Her childhood led her to mastering self defense and teaching others. So much in her life could be different if she and her mother knew those skills back then. After uprooting her entire life and putting it on hold to move across the country to find a kidnapped nine-year-old girl the unexpected shows up along the way. Seeing Arrow makes her have a flutter and spark of something she long thought was lost, something she could never get back when the scars were burned into her body long ago. Arrow thought he could have anything and everything he wanted until he found someone that matched his scarred soul, that awakened a part of him he never knew was there and only there for her. Thanks to Kaylee, the thirteen-year-old girl that Vivian is the guardian of, things progress faster in some ways than they could have. Vivian is forced to feel and not judge with her eyes as she begins to fall for “Bullseye” Arrow, while also battling herself about their actual encounters. Arrow falls for “Tulip” Vivian quickly and goes the distance to prove he is all in. When her past comes knocking, she worries more about how Arrow and those around her than herself.
Will Arrow run when he sees her scars as others had? Can Vivian let her walls down and finally trust someone again? This world is outside, maybe not in my personal experience but with how the world is I feel at least one person has lived this life or is living it now. The characters burrow into your heart, you feel their pain and their fear, but the author also makes you feel their hope and love as they break down their walls. Knowing up front from the tropes on that they get there happily ever after builds suspense and fear on how they will reach it. I cannot wait to see whose story comes next in book six, The Protégé, October 29th, 2024. Now to go back and dive into the other four books and see how his friends found their happily ever after.

This book had me engrossed from the start. This story has romance, friendship, danger, trauma, mystery, bad guys, family, healing, drama, and great characters. This is the 5th book in this series but it can be read as a standalone, but my advice is to read them all. This book is Arrow and Vivian’s story. Arrow is an ex navy seal, entrepreneur with a traumatic past. Vivian is a dentist who also has a traumatic past. Vivian is looking for a missing girl and it’s bringing her past into her present. The chemistry between these two is undeniable but Vivian isn’t ready to date at this point in her life. Arrow isn’t giving up on her that easy. This is a must read to find out what happens between these two. The author had me reading late into the night turning pages needing to know what happens next. This story kept me captivated the entire time. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising, #5)The Strategist by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book of the WaterFyre Rising Series. Having read the previous books, this release was much anticipated. Nadia Han is like an insanely talented author. With every book I read by her gets better and better, truly captivating. Arrow and Vivian’s story has romance ,suspense,action,forced proximity, intense chemistry, mystery, passion, trauma and so so much more in it. I was so happy that we finally got to see them get their story. I highly recommend reading this one and this series, but be warned be ready to binge read this whole series 🤣 i can’t wait for Protégé: An Opposites Attract Romance to come out in October and the next book after that the Maverick.

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Strategist is Book 5 in the WaterFyre Rising series….I have read every book in this series and I have loved every book…but this is my favorite. I love the connection between Arrow and Vivian…truly undeniable. This story gave me all the feels that I was all in for….hot sizzling chemistry and moments, danger, action, secrets and deep dark pasts.

Arrow Holt, a former Navy SEAL, is methodical and thinks every step with strategy. Building his wine business and being part of the WaterFyre team…he is also on the hunt for the bad guys. When his charms trying to ask Vivian Vo out on a date do not initially work…he waits patiently for her. Vivian has no time for romance, being a dentist, but also have other agenda on her mind in her hunt for a very bad guy as well…she consistently shoots him down for a date, until danger lurks and her determination to find a missing person brings her to new levels of danger. As Arrow tries to protect Vivian at all costs..will both Arrow and Vivian having painful dark pasts and scars to bear tear them apart or bring them closer then ever with the unexpected spark they have between them.

Definitely read and find out. This is a fantastic story!! Although you can read this book as a standalone, I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning….I cannot wait until the next book in the series to get to know Orion more!

I loved The Strategist which is book 5. Every book in this series has been so good. I guess they don’t really need to be read in order but, there are spoilers so, I’d recommend reading them in order to see how they all ended up where they are now. There’s so much action and suspense that it will have you reading more and more chapters in one sitting just to see what happens or how it happens.
Vivian is trying to locate a missing girl named Aimee. She refuses to believe anything other than the fact that she is alive and well.

When Arrow and Vivian run into eachother unexpectedly, they agree to a duel.
Arrow took a liking to Vivian and asked her out on a date. She turned him down but, that didn’t stop him. His actions could be confused with a stalker but he definitely is not a stalker. He always was close by and always kept an eye on her. He gave her, her space but knew, she was going to be his some day.

Arrow has a lot of connections and knows he can help her. The entire group of friends are there to try to find Aimee.

Vivian and Arrow made the best couple. They are both incredibly smart and care about others. They have something in common that neither of them would’ve ever guessed. I’m very surprised about when Arrow found Kaylee in chapter 68 and they came to realize something, it didn’t get more attention or come as more of a shock.
Looking forward to book 6 so we can learn more about Orion.
