A Second Chance (Powder River Pack Book 1)A Second Chance
By: Brooke May
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Second Chance (Powder River Pack Book 1) by Brooke May is a highly emotional, raw, paranormal shifter romance; that tells the tale of the struggle of lost love. It’s a tale of trying to build trust and friendship, in order to get that second chance.

My first read by this author and with a genre I love, so needless to say I had had my expectations high. I’m glad to say I wasn’t led astray and am very happy with this read.

This book isn’t your normal light hearted shifter romance. It had a looming sadness, that’s made apparent in the first chapter. That tone seems to stay as the story moved on, and we meet our MC’s. It was a nice feature and it makes you get into their minds sets, connecting you; right away you know this isn’t going to be a happy-go-lucky read. This story is about two broken souls, who have been hurt by love, are angry at it and collide. So there is a lot of ups, down, fighting and of course, raw frustering emotions.

This book isn’t only about the strong feels, it’s richly detailed and has a smooth easy writing style, that pulls you into this gem. This book is worth it and it gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. So I hope you give this feel kicker a read, you won’t regret it.

Happy Reading

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a second chance-friends to lovers story that pulled at my heartstrings. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. It is my first book by this author, I enjoyed how creative the story was and the characters were relatable. The emotional roller coaster ride Izzy and Dawson took me on kept me turning pages until the end. He is a rocker who has been in love with her since childhood. They certainly give long distance relationship a new name. I highly recommend reading their story.

A Second Chance by Brooke May: Powder River Pack Book One

5-Stars

Anna and Derek are meant to be mates but when her parents’ divorce, she is forced to move away with her mother at sixteen. Separated from each other they both believe that the other moved on. Ten years later as her father is starting to die, Anna returns to settle his accounts. She knows she will run into Derek.

Derek has been heartbroken for ten years since Anna left. It completely changed him. He hates that he let her go and has been unable to connect with his wolf since she left. When he finds out that her father is near death he begins to prepare for her returning, believing whole heartedly that she has moved on.

I loved following the reunion of these two wonderful characters. There were so many emotions present in this novel. I hated that the two lost all that time together. I found that the storyline was easy to read and get lost in. I also really enjoyed Spence’s character. He was Anna’s best friend.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about married life. Kris and Nicole are happily married with a kid. But Nicole works hard and is always kept busy by her boss Darren. Can they keep in married bliss or will work life drive them apart?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Nicole working hard to achieve her dreams or Kris trying to be a good father or Nikita as a sweet little kid curious about the world. I loved the novels exploration of the ups and downs of married life which was fun to read. I also loved the use of small space settings in the house and office which was brilliant for every day life and also to increase tensions between Kris and Nicole in a confined space. The flashbacks worked well with the plot but were often abrupt to the narrative of the present.
The only issue I would raise is that there were too many long sentences that made it difficult to read which could be resolved with a variety of sentence lengths. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Second Chance by Brooke May is the first book in the Powder River Pack series. It is a great story about fighting for what you want or learning to live with the hole it leaves behind.
This is a new author to me and I was excited to get into this book. The blurb promised an angsty tale and that is definitely what you get. I was drawn into Derek so easily. It was so easy to feel what he was going through. And it was easy to understands Annabelle’s decision over her new life and her old.
The story had good pace that flowed from start to end. There was never a point where my attention wandered or I thought there was too much going on. An enjoyable book, I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

By: Angela McPherson
5 out of 5 stars

The story Hope’s Deceit (The Fated Book 2) by Angela McPherson is a YA/fantasy/romance book. It is a story that I was looking forward to reading since I finished the first book. I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the last page. This story has Trinity’s 18th birthday drawing near. The danger from Mella and her Rogues is of constant concern and she must keep up her training. In this story the feelings that both Trinity and Blain feel for each other start out strong. They are constantly together. Then something changes. The connection between has been lost or stopped. What has happened? There are revelations uncovered and truths that are revealed. Questions are raised and need to be answered. Where has Mella gone to and what is she planning next? How many more abilities will Trinity manifest? Will Trinity be able to control her abilities? Will the connection between Trinity and Blain be felt by them again? If chaos breaks out who will survive? Read this book to find out. There are some twists and turns to this story. Trinity is becoming faster and stronger. With what she is going through she is one brave girl. I loved reading about her and Blain. Most of the additional characters that are in this story were brought forward from the first book. This is a series that I believe should be read in order to fully understand what is going on. Don’t miss out on the wonderful second story in this series that will have you turning pages to find out what happens next. Highly recommended story and series.

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3)Caught in Make-Believe by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caught in Make-Believe by Sharleen Scott is the third book in the Caught Series and follows the story of Jace and Samantha.

The story is following Jace who is an investigated Journalist but something happens while he is researching for a story that lands him in trouble. As he is in hiding he stumbles upon a town where he encounters a woman who he wants to get to know more, but with his past will he be able to pursue happiness without getting her involved in his history.

Samantha owns a bakery and is a successful businesswoman but has always been unlucky in love, her last relationship ended pretty badly as she is about to give men the big heave ho until Jace walks in and throws all caution out of the window.

The story is full of twists and turns and the chemistry between these two characters jumps of the page. The writing is brilliant and draws you into the story from the first chapter, with the twists and turns, added in some suspense will have you frantically turning the pages to see what happens next. This is the first book in this series I have read and I didn’t feel like I had missed anything from the previous books in this serious. I would recommend this book and I will be looking at reading the first two books to see what I have missed.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Climbing the Walls is book one in the Hart and Cole series by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné. New author for me, so I was instantly intrigued. First impression of Nicole is that she is a master manipulator, and will go to great lengths to get her way. She wants her way and she wants it’s now!! She is a passive aggressive character, one who maneuvers Kris to do her bidding and uses any means necessary. I grew to adore her and wanting to be her. Despite feeling frustrated at times, this story is incredibly well written. It is blatantly evident in the artestry with words, the effort, the emotion and soul that went into each character, building the foundations for a mindblowing series.

Kris and Nicole struggled with the trials of marriage, family and careers. Things were said in the heat of the moment, things were left unsaid. I was an honest and insightful look into a modern marriage, where they try to have it all and the battle to maintain the normal. The author masterfully and tastefully painted a picture of reality, intensity, attraction, and so much more. Many elements made up this tale, coming together maybe not perfectly, but beautifully. Kris was endearing and made my heart sing. Every time I thought of him my heart would race, as he was charisma personified. He just appealed to me on a superior level. Climbing the Walls was brilliant and a book that leaves a memorable impression. 5 stars.

Claiming Her Mates: Book One – A Paranormal Shifter Romance Series (Claiming Her Mates Series Book #1) by Dia Cole – Review by Angela Hayes.

Claiming Her Mates (Claiming Her Mates #1)Claiming Her Mates by Dia Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Claiming Her Mates: Book One is the first book in A Paranormal Shifter Romance Series by Dia Cole. This is quite an original take on the shifter romance story, as it incorporates Lykos shifters (wolves), military experimentation, a worldwide flu pandemic- with a zombie apocalypse. There is action aplenty in this steamy reverse harem/ménage story. There’s danger, drama, action, adventure, tension, suspense, some mystery, intrigue, sizzle, passion, and romance.
Havana James (Vana) has been on her own since she was 16 years old- doing whatever she needed to do to get by. She’s beautiful, seductive, independent and sassy. Her past could have made her hard and cold, but instead, she’s resilient, compassionate and caring. She’s at work one night when some sexy strangers swoop in and demand she leave with them. She mistakenly thinks they’re the police- but soon realises that she’s wrong. In the process of trying to sneak away from them, she places herself in a very deadly situation- but luckily for her the strangers are there to save the day. They finally convince her that they are there to make sure she stays safe and to take her out of harms way. She is a little wary, but as danger mounts, she’s really left with little choice but to let them ‘help’. As the four of them spend time together, it is apparent that there is a strong attraction between them, a powerful force that is hard to deny. But not everyone is pleased to have her around. The tension mounts and sparks fly. What happens when their sizzling chemistry bubbles over and their passions ignite? Will they make it to safety? Who are these ‘men’ and why are they helping her? What happens when secrets are revealed- will Vana be strong enough to handle the truth?
This book started off a little slow, and for the first half of the book the story lacked the depth that I was hoping for….. But the second half of the story really got really interesting and really made up for the slower start. The characters were really great, especially throughout the second half of the book. They each had their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws- which made them realistic, believable, and likeable. I must admit that I really didn’t take to Gabriel for the first half of the book- he was difficult, prickly, and cold. But when the story evolved, I got an understanding of what made him the way he was, my heart ached for what he’d been through. So, my feelings for him did a complete flip from hate to love over the course of the book. Mason is such a sweetheart, the kind and nurturing one of the group- he made my heart go pitter-patter! Liam is a sexy giant of a man- he had me at 7 foot bearded protector, and I loved his cheeky, flirty nature, too (swoon).
The story is told from these four points of view, which gives the reader a well-balanced/complete perspective of what’s happening and what they’re all going through.
I loved the unique take on the whole shifter romance, I thought it was very clever of Ms. Cole. I enjoyed the story a lot, especially the second half. This is the first part though- as the story is set to continue in in part two, which I can’t wait to get my hands on. There’s also a prequel coming out soon, which I am excited to read, too!

Thank you, Ms. Cole!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dangerous Ground is a part of the Underground Series written by Alice Rachel and should be read before Breaking Ground. This is Tina and Chases story. There is a trigger warning at the beginning of the story warning those who may not be able to handle certain situations. With that being said I thought it was a great story with intense emotions and characters. There are a few pages to help you get reacquainted with characters, places, etc. Dangerous Grounds story is told like all the others in the series with strong characters, strong emotions and strong storylines.

Truly Unfortunate is no different, as the story progresses you think you have it figured out, you for your own case and motive and then boom something else happens and you have to rethink everything. Then the end comes and you realize you were right and wrong the entire time but you can’t wait to see if there is another book and how it goes.

Mouse Trapped by Manda Mellett is book 9 in the Satan’s Devil’s Series. This is Mouses story and while you see him come and go from the previous stories there’s never much to him he’s the man behind the curtain for the MC. In Mouse Trapped you get a more in depth look at who mouse is and his part in the series. Marianna is a strong woman and while she has a few break downs she puts on a good front when she needs to. This story is about their weird relationship and the fear of deportation. There are ups and downs as you getting the story and the previous books come together even more while reading this.

This is the first book I have read by this author, and even though this is the third book in the series I had no problem following the story. Now that I have read this book I am definitely going to go read the first two. I found this book intriguing and suspenseful. I enjoyed reading this story from beginning to end. Jace isn’t looking for a relationship, and Samantha just got out of a bad one. Even though neither of them expected it they found themselves attracted to each other and wanting to see where it goes. Jace’s past comes back to haunt him and it ends up putting both of them in danger. This story kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put it down till I got to the end. If you want to know how their relationship ends up then this is a must read. I highly recommend this book, I will definitely be reading more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great book! Caught in Make-Believe is the third book in the Caught Series that is written by Sharleen Scott. I haven’t read any of the others at all but I didn’t have to. This can be read as a standalone. However, I always recommend reading books 1 and 2 first just to have some sort of background. This book follows Samantha and Jace. Samantha just coming out of a relationship where her now ex-fiancé cheated on her within days of asking her to marry him. Samantha also runs the local bakery. Jace hasn’t been back to town in quite some time. He used to be a journalist and is now a novelist writing under pen name of J.C. Saylor and an anonymous blogger. However, he is back in town with his trusty sidekick Martin the dog. However, Martin isn’t the only one that may have followed him into town. Jace discovered the truth behind a dark net crime organization, which caused him more than he bargained for, which caused him go into hiding. Then he meets Samantha and things start to fall into place for him. Unfortunately, Samantha is having a harder time figuring things out. There is a lot of banter and sexy moments between the two. There is definite chemistry between the two and I was hoping that they would be able to stay together. There are definitely a lot of twists and turns and enough suspense to keep you turning those pages! A definite must read for anyone!

This story gives you the feeling that it’s just another HEA. But you would be wrong to think that. Jace is more than just a writer and his choices has put a lot of people in danger. He experienced a lot of lose and pain. I didn’t like him at first but he grew on me as the story went on. Sam is a great character and I felt a great match for Jace. She was funny and down to earth. She didn’t tae herself too serious and I amirer how strong she was. She kept her head up in the face of so much disappointment. Liked the way the author put this story together. The mystery, suspense and action was so thrilling. I had no clue what to expect next. The author gave these characters a view of the world that not many experience. The thought that you don’t have a place to live or how you were going to feed your kid. Most people don’t worry about this but it’s a fear many have. I enjoyed how quick and smooth this story was. I didn’t really have to stop and reread anything. Overall this is something you would want to read if you are looking for something more than your usual.

Havanna is still struggling over her last breakup. She has sworn off guys and just wants to focus on earning her keep as a stripper. When the world goes crazy with what seems like a zombie apocalypse due to an issue with the Canine Flu vaccine three men are sent to retrieve her. Her former lover Nathan sends Mason, Liam, and Gabriel to retrieve her and keep her safe. He plans to make her his but the unexpected happens. Discovering that the men are not quite human she decides that they are hers. Does she have to claim just one or can she have all three. What will Nathan do when he finds out his friends have stolen his girls heart?

This novel was easy to read and get lost in. I could not put this steamy romance down. Liam, Mason, and Gabriel were described as sexy and strong. It was easy to picture these men as well as Havanna as the story progressed. I also liked that this paranormal steamy romance was mixed with a doom’s day type scenario. The scenario seemed very realistic.

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2)Shoot Me by Lynda Filler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shoot Me was a great 5 star read and book two in the Lie to Me series. The story picks up shortly after where Lie to Me left off.

Layla is heart broken after Mateo’s departure, she had finally opened up and thought he was the one, only to be left all alone. She has decided to go work in Guadalajara for a few months to get away and write.

Pablo whispered, “It’s the things you cannot see, your vulnerability, the sadness of your memories, and your openness to love, that makes you so beautiful.”

Layla has quite the adventures and is really enjoying her time. She also meets several men throughout the story, some friends some lovers. I had my favorite but enjoyed all of them. There are some hot scenes, romance, danger, and so much more.

All of the secondary characters were great, I loved Marisela. My emotions were all over the place. Will Layla finally get what she’s truly looking for? If you’re looking for a great read I suggest this series, I really like Layla and her story and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

By: Sharleen Scott
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3) by Sharleen Scott was a fast moving, suspense, romance that had me hooked from start to finish.

My first read by this author and this series, I was pulled in right away by the, in your face opening, that not only set the stage it showed us were this story was going to go. I love those cold opens, sometimes being tossed into a story in progress is the best way to get submerged, if done right, and Sharleen Scott more than did it right.

As this being the third book, and me being me, not starting were I should, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything, as this does read as a standalone. As I got to know more about the side characters, I learned that they have stories of their own, and if they’re anything like this one, I’m going to be in for a treat.

Jumping in we meet Sam in a very, unplents situation, we get a good look at her as a person, and I liked her right off the bat. Girl got no time for BS. Now for Jace, even though he came across as a t-bag, there is a sadness to his character, and right away you can’t help but be drawn to him. As we get more into his backstory and his dark past, you get a better sense of why he is the way that he is. As these two get closer and connect, and fall, it just makes you all melty. It progressed at a steady pace, nothing felt forced and you can’t help but root for them.

The overall plot, and subplot is intriguing and gives this story a little something special. The added suspense mystery adds a danger element to the sweetness, making the story feel balanced and entertaining. That aside the writing was easy to follow, the POV switches were clean and clear as who was talking. I never felt confused or lost. This book is damn near perfect, and I can’t wait to dive into the other two books.

Overall this book is worth your time and energy. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get sucked into this world and be unable to put it down.

Happy Reading

Mouse Trapped: Satan’s Devils MC #9 By Manda Mellett. This series just keeps getting better in my opinion. While this is book can definitely be read as a standalone without any confusion, you’ll definitely be wanting more after it. I was excited to get a story on Mouse and what a story the author gave us readers. It’s not your typical girl meets boy romance but non of these stories really are and that’s what makes them not only unique but also beloved. The author write about hard subjects and makes readers feel everything soul deep. I’m always up way into the night because I simply can’t put the book down and this story wasn’t any different. The characters are complex and relatable, with a well written storyline that had me completely drawn in from page one! I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next.

This story is some woman’s dream come true. Though I like the thought I don’t think I could handle three men. I have to say Gabriel was my favorite amongst the men. He had the most restraint and loyalty. Though his loyalty was there by force he did what he was told. I liked that he didn’t let his needs out way their safety. He had great control even when her heat was at its worse. I liked that Liam and Mason knew what they wanted and wasn’t afraid to go after it. They protected Havana and cared for her every need. Now if I could only find a man to do that for me ? I really liked this authors writing style. It was very smooth and effortless. I enjoyed every moment in this story even the cliché zombie part. I am very interested in knowing how they deal with the consequences of their actions.

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3)Caught in Make-Believe by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caught in Make-Believe is the third book in the Caught Series by Sharleen Scott. Even though this is the third book you can read it as a stand-alone. There will be character references that you may want to go and read the other two books, having said that it should not distract from the story. This story is a romance mystery, thriller, about having a second chance, and a new meaning to the same story. I found myself reading quickly through one part to get to the next scene, only to find out to go back and reread some part because there was a twist when I thought it was going to be a turn. This story is about Samantha who is the manager of Sweet Stuff bakery. She is a wonderful character that I would consider a great friend. At times she is that person who is optimistic all the time. She is fighting a bad break up of a engagement with a cheating fiancé. She finds herself getting close to Jace who was a reporter who has been away for five years. He is ready to put his skeletons away and try this thing called life. You will have to read what has happened with Jace and Samantha’s story. It is an intriguing read all the way around.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claiming Her Mates: Book One: (A paranormal shifter romance series)
By: Dia Cole
5 out of 5 stars

The story Claiming Her Mates: Book One: (A paranormal shifter romance series) by Dia Cole is a paranormal romance book. It is a story in a genre that I have always loved reading. It drew me in from the very beginning and had me turning pages to find out what happens next. I loved reading about the main character of Havana and the three Lykos shifters that have sworn to protect her. Havana believes that the men that have shown up and tell her she is to come with them are police, so she tries to run. What she soon finds out is that chaos has begun because of a flu vaccine that has been given out and turning people into monsters. The three rescue her and she finds herself under their protection. Her ex has issued a threat of what will happen if anyone touches her. Havana and her three protectors are very attracted to each other. Their desire for each other shows through and is at times overwhelming. Why does Havana feel such strong emotions towards the three men she has just met? Will the threat that Havana’s ex has given strong enough to override the desire that Mason, Gabriel, and Liam have for her? What does the future hold for Havana and her protectors? Read this story to find out. This story is red hot and makes the temperature in the room rise. You can feel the conflict that Mason, Gabriel, and Liam have as their feelings for Havana keep getting stronger and harder to ignore. I enjoyed reading about the different characters and the background information given on them. As this is book one in a series it lays a good foundation for further stories that come after it. This is a wonderful book and has amazing characters. It is one I would highly recommend reading.

The Confectioner’s Coup (Confectioner Chronicles Book 2) by Claire Luana

5 Stars

This was the continued story of Wren and I loved it as much as the first part of this series. She just can’t win when it comes to staying out of the line of fire with being framed for murder and getting out of that to now suspecting the king of being behind guild members being kidnapped and now the enemy has entered the city.

There was some parts of this story that made me so angry and then parts that were so so sad. You don’t really ever know what your gonna get when you open up one of this authors books and I love that.

Can’t wait for the next story in this series, I have so many questions about Hale and what his future holds as well as Wren and the Guild itself.

I Love this series and I love this author and I highly recommend starting at the beginning and reading these books and let me also mention that the covers on these books are completely awesome!!

Loved it!

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell ~ Review by Liz Vrchota

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the futureBurning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read some of Nikki Broadwell’s work before but this was a totally different type of novel than I had expected to find from her. This was much more of an all the feels type novel. I found myself really feeling the gambit of emotions as Collie, our MC, felt them. I wanted to cry a lot more than I had expected, and I had a lot of moments where I just had to stop and process the feelings I was having before I could go on with the book.

This is a very detailed and multi-layered novel. It is extremely hard to review the book without giving away too much of the details that will spoil the goodies for you and not sound repetitive of the synopsis. For the best parts I will say you are going to have to take my word for it, you must read this book. You won’t be disappointed that you did. The journey that Collie takes to find herself is one that you don’t want to miss out on. I know I learned a thing or two from her myself.

Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel #2 by Lynda Filler ~ Review by Liz Vrchota

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2)Shoot Me by Lynda Filler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I WANT TO GO TO MEXICO! It is literally freezing and we had a blizzard warning last weekend with a watch for one this weekend. I have been fighting a nasty pneumonia for a month and been in and out of the hospital and surgery, but this wonderful adventure in Shoot Me took me far far away from it all on a hot and steamy trip down south. If you haven’t had the chance to read Lie to Me I would highly recommend it, this book is a direct continuation of that one. In fact it literally picks up where that one left off ‘three weeks and eighteen hours’ from the first book. You will be a bit confused as to why our MC, Layla, is where she is and why.

Layla is just a tad still reeling from the way that Mateo left her hanging with that simple note and his disappearing act. Her writing career has taken of and she is signed for a new deal so between her bummed heart and her need for some writing material she does the only thing she can think of. She sets out to drown out his memory and make some new ones. Why not? Everyone knows the best way to get over one mistake is to make a few one night mistakes right? Well this is where the hot (and I do mean hot!) and exciting writing from Lynda Filler really gets going! We meet some great new men and Layla finds herself in some pretty interesting situations. I found myself laughing, fanning myself, and often just hanging my mouth open wondering what would come next. Filler never ceases to keep me hooked from page one till the end, and reeling for the next book to come out as soon as possible. (Hint. Hint. I NEED it soon Ms. Filler LOL) I can’t bear to give much more away. For more juicy details you will just have to one click the book. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I may just have to go back and read the first book while I wait for the next in the series! Happy reading!

Must Be Crazy (Darling Cove Book 3) by Deborah Garland ~ Review by Liz Vrchota

Must Be CrazyMust Be Crazy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Must Be Crazy is the third book in the Darling Cove series from Deborah Garland. I personally would recommend that you read the first two books before you read this one, they do go in a pretty decent order and the characters are involved in each book somewhat. This one focuses on Skye Mallory. Her connection is that she is Gwen and Greg’s sister who have books one and two which would be the benefit to reading them.

Skye is single yet successful. As an attorney she rocks it and runs her very own office. Unfortunately when it comes to love she has not had the best of luck, especially with her last relationship that ended in a brutal way. However, both of her siblings have found the loves of their lives and she knows it is a matter of time before those around her start nagging her to find her own happily ever after. She is doubtful that she will ever change her mind though, especially with the secret she is harboring. All that is about to be put into question when her office and apartment catch fire and a hunky fireman extinguishes the fire, and lights the spark insider her again.

Edward Mendelsohn is that firefighter. He has his own demons and secrets he will need to get around but the beautiful Skye is something he wants to try to get over all that for. He is that single father of an adorable seven year old kiddo, Julian, and still recovering from a tough spilt from his mother. Just when he thinks he is finally at a point where he can move on with Skye and these two hit it off the past comes back to meddle in their newfound romance. Then there is a matter of secrets that come out to play. What will happen to the new love? Is it going to be extinguished before it ever gets a chance to become a full-fledged fire?
