Fiddle and Fire (Hearts of Gold Book #2) by Ariella Talix – Review by Angela Hayes

Fiddle and Fire: A Steamy Historical MMF Romance by Ariella Talix
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

Fiddle and Fire is the second book in the Hearts of Gold Series by Ariella Talix. This is an historical romance, menage/why choose, MMF story, set in the early days of San Francisco. Sprinkled with a little danger, drama, mystery, suspense, chemistry and sizzle- the synopsis promised all the ingredients that I normally love to find in a story- but unfortunately I failed to connect with the characters or their story, which in turn made it difficult to immerse myself in the story the way I had hoped.
Suzette, Walter, and James just didn’t grab me- and I had to keep my mind from wandering and force myself to stay in the story. Which was frustrating. I felt that some things were a bit of an info dump, while others lacked the detail I would have liked. The chemistry/sizzle/sexiness didn’t live up to expectation either- but perhaps that’s just me. I will probably go back and reread this book in a month or so, and give it another chance to pull me in, as maybe this time round I was just having an off reading day. So, stay tuned.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Ariella Talix.
