My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an amazing start to the series! This is the first book in the Philly Heat Series and my first story from this author altogether. I have to say that I TRULY enjoyed the differing points of view throughout the entire book. Kylee and Jayson seem to personify the saying of “opposites attract” because they have had quite different childhoods. She is a police officer with the mindset of everyone and everything fits into a box. But will Jayson help her see that not everything can be that straightforward? This book caught me by surprise several times with the twists and turns the author has cleverly placed. If you are looking for an amazing romantic suspense read, this should absolutely be your next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kylee Parker and Jayson Donovan came from two entirely different worlds, yet something always draws Kylee to Jayson. They grew up together and Jayson left Kylee to question everything after he stands her up at the High School Picnic. Kylee forgets about how Jayson broke her heart and she moved on. However, all good things must come to an end. Kylee re-meets Jayson again when she arrests him for a drug deal she witnessed. Nothing makes her happier than arresting the one person who humiliated her years ago, but things aren’t always what they seem or are they. Life is not that simple. A great read.

This is book one and here we have two sides of a coin in the main characters. Kylee Parker is a police officer and works straight down the line not seeing ethnicity, right or wrong, and good guys versus bad guys. She plays fair. Jayson Donovan ended up going down the wrong road gets involved with the wrong people. They knew each other in their school days and Kylee had a huge crush on Jayson. After she arrests him he tries to rekindle their friendship, but it’s not a good look for an officer to date a criminal. Not to mention that Jayson has secrets that someone doesn’t want to get out. It could get both of them hurt, or worse. This has been a great series and I had fun reading it. I read the books out of order but never felt like I missed anything due to a continuing storyline. As always the author did a great job bringing the characters to life.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Philly Heat series. In this book we follow the story of police officer Kaylee and criminal Jayson.
I enjoyed the plot of this book, it had me engaged and invested. The twists were great and fit so well into the story.
I enjoyed the characters of Kaylee and Jayson in particular; both are strong and determined characters and their chemistry leaps off the page. They were well developed with their shared past and the complex emotions that arise from that and the way they attempt to navigate these feelings and obstacles felt believable. There were moments were I just wanted to knock some sense into them, but the way I came to care for them both goes to show the author’s skill at created great characters that you can’t help but become emotionally invested in.
This was an enjoyable start to the series and I can’t wait to read the rest!

I love a book with a main character that instantly hooks me and that’s exactly what this author gave me. Kylee had me completely forgetting the real world right from page one. I love a good romantic suspense story and this one brought all the A plus game out there. Jayson and Kylee had chemistry coming off the pages in waves and they definitely stole a piece of my heart. Well written and definitely worth the read. I’m really excited to read more from this author. Four big stars and highly recommended!

So, this isn’t your typical good gal, good guy romantic suspense novel. A Love Restrained is book 1 in the Philly Heat Series. It’s about Kylee Parker, a Philadelphia police Officer, and Jayson Donovan, a drug dealer. She doesn’t know who or what he has become since she hasn’t seen him since she was a teen with a bad crush. There is no gray area with Kylee, so bad, is bad, and good, is good, right?! Maybe wrong?! This was a great, clean, book with solid writing, realistic characters, that I read incredibly quickly.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kaylee is a police office with her world being black and white, good, and bad, but when she arrests a blast from her past the lines are becoming greyer. Finding the attraction that has always been there even when he was a small boy in her parent’s house, can see fall for him or will it potentially put her career in jeopardy.

When Kaylee arrested him, it took him back to his childhood seeing her beauty and the attraction that is still there, but she is a police office, and he is hiding a secret that if she finds out may destroy the bond they have created.

When Jayson disappears Kaylee’s world is destroyed can she forgive him or go through life wondering “what if’s”?

This is the second series I have read by this author, and it does not disappoint, the characters are rich and well developed, which when you read believe you are part of the story and want to get to know them more.

Kaylee is a great role model and strong female character within the story but she also shows the vulnerable side to her which is brilliantly to read. Jayson’s Character is a great compliment to the strong character of Kaylee, with the secondary characters adding a depth to the story which was just brilliant to read.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

A Love Restrained by Becky Flade is a great romance book

Kylee Parker, a police officer in Philadelphia, is committed to guarding and helping. She interprets the work in terms of absolutes such as good and evil, black and white, and right and wrong. That is, until she pursues a drug dealer down a dark alley and discovers that the terrible kid she had a heartbreaking crush on throughout her adolescence has evolved into a more gorgeous and dangerous man.Jayson Donovan is aware that Kylee Parker is better than he deserves. He’s firmly on Kylee’s moral wrong side as the right-hand guy of a local drug-pusher gangster. But despite knowing better, he can’t resist but grab for her repeatedly.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read more from this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the beginning of the Philly Heat Series and all I have to say is WOW! A Love Restrained was the perfect beginning to a promising series. It reads well as a stand-alone as well. But who am I kidding I love characters I can get invested in over a series leaving me wanting more. A second chance romance with some suspense thrown in. Where could it go wrong? Everywhere but that’s what makes it a wonderful story!
Kylee and Jayson knew each other in high school. Both having feelings for the other. Unfortunately Jayson broke his promise to Kylee and left her devastated. Now he’s back and she just arrested him for selling drugs. How does one handle that?
Kylee knew he didn’t come from a good home. She figures that’s what landed him in her custody today, little does she know how wrong she is. Spoilers I’m not willing to share eventually clear the blinders on her eyes.
Jayson wants Kylee more now than he did when they were younger. It’s too dangerous though, especially since she’s a cop. He’s a criminal working near the top of a crime organization. It could never work. Or could it?
These characters challenge each other in so many ways. You understand where both are coming from. How stubborn they are. Reminds me of my stubborn streaks. I’m a Jayson fan and I’m rooting for them to work it all out.
Where will the author take this story?
What will come next in this series?
What happens when the tables are turned?
I really enjoyed this book and this author. Wonderfully written and perfect to grab someone into a series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging romantic suspense which had me hooked from page one. When Philadelphia police officer Kylee Parker chases a drug dealer, she did not expect to know him as the bad boy who she had a teenage crush on. Kylee is a dedicated officer used to protecting and serving, and seeing things as either right or wrong, black or white, and either good guys or bad guys. The even more dangerous and attractive Jayson Donovan, who is the right hand man to a local drug-pushing mobster, is definitely a bad guy, however, Kylee can’t deny the attraction that is still there. Jayson knows he is not good enough for Kylee and that he should stay away from her, but he just can’t, not having discovered the chemistry between them. It’s not long before Jayson’s secrets threaten them both. This was an exciting read, with great characters, who’s chemistry sizzled off the page, and a storyline that kept me gripped throughout.

I absolutely loved this books and plan on finding more from this author!

The characters came to life in my mind so vividly as I read that I felt myself in the story living the plot. The characters were raised polar opposites, but in any good story opposites attract! The story takes enough twists and turns that my attention was kept the whole time and even though I felt like the story was complete I wanted more!

This is not my first book by this author but she still managed to surprise me and I loved it.

Kylee had a life growing up that most people would love to have including Jayson. Great parents and siblings who are all there for one another. Jayson’s childhood was the exact opposite.

After Jayson disappeared after High School he and Kylee reconnect in one of the most unique ways. They have so much heat and it doesn’t go away even after several gaps.

I really enjoyed this book, great way to spend my weekend.

I never thought that crime would have love in them but Kyle should a difference. Would his action change Kyle or would Kyle change him?
Kyle had life all figured out to protect others and stop crime but she could not protect her heart from a crush she had 10 years ago.

Slow-burn romance
This book was a great find. The story has a depth in characterisation that allows the reader to connect easily and to get a better understanding of the decisions that were being made. There was a realistic balance between the drama, angst, suspense and romance that made for a very strong storyline. There are time jumps within the book but I felt they were handled very well. I love dual POV but this author weaves this in an interesting way that was clever and not too distracting from the overall flow. If you are a romantic suspense fan this is one not to be missed.

Oh I just adored this book. Kylee Parker is a Philly police officer. She is strictly by the book and all about following the rules. Jayson Donovan on the other hand is on the other side of the law. The chemistry between these two flies off the pages. How can two people with totally different backgrounds find a common ground? Will the flames ignite them or destroy them?

A Love Restrained
By: Becky Flade
5*

This book is such a good, quick read that I found myself relating to in so many aspects. The characters were so believable and relatable. It’s a story about how people’s experiences and perspectives influence our path’s in life. It also is about when the past comes crashing into the present. Finally, it shows how the things we always thought, might not always be true.
Ky works for the police. She has a loving family and has all the support in the world. However, her past comes crashing in around her when she makes an arrest. The man that she is arresting is Jayson. Jayson is a local drug dealer who is part of a large drug ring. However, he is also her childhood crush. The boy who broke her heart.
Jayson has always fantasized about being with Ky, from the time he was really young. He had an awful home experience and Ky’s family truly influenced him in a major way. He didn’t mean to break Ky’s heart. In his eyes, she broke his heart.
When they reconnect the sparks are instant. They both remember what they used to have. Jayson really wants to try having a relationship with Ky. But will their jobs hurt their chance of being able to have the relationship they desire. Are they willing to risk everything to be together?
This is truly the epitome of a good girl / bad boy romance. And man did I love it. I truly recommend that anyone considering reading this book do it!

All I can say is WOW! When I started reading this book I thought it was a romance novel but as I made it further into the book I could tell it was much more! This book started as romantic suspense to a new high with fast-paced, action-packed twists and turns. The book follows two main characters, Kylee and Jayson. They come from two very different ways of life. Jayson is from an abusive alcoholic low income family. At the same time, Kylee comes from a large supportive family.
Kylee and Jayson finally stop fighting the physical and emotional attraction they have had all these years for one another things start to become more complicated. When Kylee gets jumped because of her job as a police officer and Jayson is about to blow his cover as a DEA agent he must leave Kylee alone in the hospital recovering from a horrific attack that left her almost dead.
I love that the author jumped to the future in the story to continue the story at a turning point! I can’t wait to read more from this author!!

A Love Restrained (Philly Heat Series #1) by Becky Flade

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. This book is amazing and I will be looking forward to the next book. A Love Restrained is the first book in the Philly Heat Series.

Kylee is a cop and when she sees a drug deal go down she chases the dealer. Then she realizes that she knows him. The one who broke her heart in high school. Now she’s got to figure out if she can handle what he does. The quote I chose for Kylee is: “No. I don’t. I felt small when you shut me out of your life today. It hurt me to think you were ashamed of me, of us. What we have, and I don’t know what it is or where it’s going, but it felt less. I felt less. I’ve been doing the same thing to you. I know that now. I’m sorry for it.”

Jayson comes from a bad childhood. When he runs into Kylee Parker. Officer Parker. He wants her, but doesn’t know if he should get involved with her. She’s a cop. He’s not a good guy. The quote I chose for Jayson is: “No! I’m ashamed of them. I spent yesterday with your family, and they’re perfect. So what do I do for a f***ing encore? I bring you here to see mine? To this— freak show? I don’t want their ugliness anywhere near you. Near us. I don’t want you to see what I come from.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Suspense lovers.

A Love Restrained was written from a unique perspective that took a lot of getting used to. There were times where I found myself questioning who was speaking and keeping characters completely straight. That being said, that is literally my only criticism about this novel. I felt like the main characters were really likable, especially Kylee. The plot moved along quickly with some really great twists. I would recommend this book if you like your novels to have twists with a bit of spice and suspense. I look forward to reading more from Becky Flade!

When I started reading this book I had a deja vu moment, thinking I had read the book before. What caused this was the main characters names – Jayson Donovan and Kylee Parker. I remember thinking of the Neighbours connection. When I looked I then realised that I have read the next book in this series, this book being the first.
Kylee and Jayson were secondary characters in the previous book that I read but in this one they are the main characters and I really loved reading their story.
This is a story filled with so much angst, something that I love in a book, even though it can be very exasperating and you want to bang their heads together.
One thing this book has that I loved is a major plot twist that’s thrown at you. I was gobsmacked when the author threw this curveball at me.
I adored both Kylee and Jayson as characters. Kylee is the straight and narrow cop who wants to put away the bad guys. The book opens with her catching Jayson, her crush from high school, dealing drugs. Not exactly what she’s looking for in a long term partner but she can’t help the pull that he still has on her.
I definitely recommend this book.

This book is the first book in the Philly Heat Series, but can be read as a stand alone. The book is about Kylee and Jayson and their journey together. It begins when they are in high school and picks up in present day. Kylee always had a crush on Jayson, but she thought he blew their bet off in high school. Years later she finds out the real truth on what really happened and why he never showed up. When things start going well between them now, Jayson leaves out of the blue, only to return years later to try to rekindle the relationship and explain why he left. When things start coming together again, they face another crises, this one together.
I could not put this book down. It had romance, suspense and somewhat of a thriller all in one. It was a great read!

This book is fantastic. I was hooked by the middle of the 2nd page. When Kylee handcuffed Jayson, I thought to myself, “Oh, this just got interesting.” It made me smile, it made me laugh, I might have even misted a little bit. Loved these characters.

Kylee has a distinct view of the world. Everything is either right or wrong. Justice must be served. Kylee proves this everyday as a police officer. Everything in her world worked great until she ran into the love of her life, the one that got away in high school. Then things exploded.

Jayson is a criminal. He should have nothing to do with Kylee. She has always been too good for him, better than him. His abusive alcoholic father and disappearing mother taught him that. Now as the go to fixer for the local drug lord, Jayson puts Kylee at risk just by association. When things get too real for everyone to handle, Jayson has to make a huge sacrifice.

Daaaaaaaaang….I was not prepared for what happened next. I can’t tell you what happened. You just have to read to find out but I will tell you that it will rock your world. All the twists. All the turns. This just proves that if two people are meant to be, they will find a way. Excellent!! Couldn’t put it down!!

Police officer Kylee Parker and drug dealer Jayson Donovan meet each other in an alley. Busted!
Then you find out they know each other from high school – crushing on each other then.
Their growing up years took them both into different adult paths. Kylee grew up in a traditional family with lots of support and love. Jayson was in the opposite situation… abuse and struggle.
After their encounter in the alley, they realize their feelings for each other still exist. But as you can see, their jobs and differing morals may cause some issue with pursuing the relationship.
This story is told from different points of view and goes back in forth in time – past to present. The characters are well developed and the story line is good. I gave it a three only because romance isn’t my go to genre. But don’t let that stop you from reading it – you will enjoy this book!

While Kylee and her are on the job they come across a drug deal and Kylee goes after the “perp” only to discover it’s her bad boy high school crush 😉

Kylee and JD came from different worlds while Kylee grew up in a living and kind home JD grew up in an abusive and alcoholic home but her folks reached out to him and shows him a kindness he’ll never forget ….

Jayson gets off on his charges and is ready to pick up where he left off and I’ve got to give it hom the man is persistent, it does pay off though 🥰 and that’s how it all begins ….

There was so much to love about this book like how her parents are so kind and compassionate towards JD as a child and as a man , how our big bad drug dealer cares for his mum , how he woos her with pit plants ….

There was so much to cry about … the abuse they had to endure and then Amelia takes over where her father left off …

Jayson (JD) is not all he seems and don’t be angry with some of his decisions, his heart is in the right place ❣️

He returns a few years later and discovers a little piece of him had stayed behind when he left and my heart aches for him and his little family for all the time they’ve missed out on but they’re getting their second chance at love and life ❣️

There were so many boxes ticked , I laughed ,I cried , I cheered and there were some nail biting and tense moments be prepared for a few unexpected twists and turns as well .

4.5 stars!!

Kylee and Jayson come from two very different ways of life. Kylee comes from a large supportive family and Jayson comes from a life of abuse and abandonment. Kylee had a huge crush on Jayson when they were in high school but he totally broke her heart when he stood her up. The next time she sees him, Kylee’s taking him down during a drug bust.

Can their differences bring them together or are they just an explosive bomb waiting to detonate?

This book was very enjoyable! There were a few times that the writing seemed just a bit wonky but the overall story made up for it in every way. There were several unexpected twists and turns, which I always enjoy when reading a book! I found myself rooting for all the right things towards the end and I was not disappointed in this book!
