My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am loving this series and I’m so glad that Trudy gets her own story! I’ve been following her through this series and she’s one of my favorite characters.

Trudy is the medical examiner and some bones are located the likes that she’s never seen. It’s up to her to find out who this is and to help identify who did this to them. Her services are invaluable to the police department but can her kind spirit endure the emotional toil that it’s taking on her?

Ms. Flade does it again with another great novel full of mystery, suspense, and romance. I found myself on the edge of my seat as I read this thrilling, fast-paced novel. I’ll be looking forward to more great reads by this author!

Fall to Pieces (Philly Heat series, #2)Fall to Pieces by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lexi Danvers is still trying to come to grips with the horrible and untimely death of her husband, Robert. On top of that, she’s given a new partner in the homicide division. As a detective, she’s dedicated to her job, sometimes too much. As a friend and lover, she’s not as dedicated and uses people, although it’s not always purposeful.

Xavier Knight is the new detective assigned as Lexi’s partner. He’s not without some skeletons in his closet either, although he keeps that door pretty closed. What he’s not happy about is that he’s been hired to keep an eye on Lexi. She’s a loose cannon and could become a liability to the division. Xavier isn’t sure he can defy the trust of his partner.

There is a child killer on the loose and Lexi is pretty sure she knows who’s committing these crimes. How can she solve these murders when her shield is in question?

I love this author and this is only the second book I’ve read of hers. This story is gritty and covers some very difficult themes that are unfortunately happening far too often in our country. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Flade’s work!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Yesterday’s Over is the third gripping book in the Philly Heat series by Becky Flade. It is another tense and intriguing romantic suspense, and is a fitting addition to this compelling series. It has all the ingredients needed to make it an engrossing read- with crime and investigation, mystery, drama, danger, chemistry, sizzle, tension, action, violence, and more.
The story is a well-woven, with a tight and intriguing plot. The characters have been skilfully crafted into fully developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. They were so realistic and believable, and made this story all the more convincing.
In the aftermath of a massive explosion, Assistant Chief Medical Examiner Trudy Beasley case gets even more puzzling- but she is determined to find answers. Forensic Anthropologist Benjamin Roberts is pulled into the case and has a different perspective. Working together to figure things out, the bounds of professionalism begin to blur, as their attraction grows. All the while danger threatens as it endeavours to keep secrets from being unearthed. What ensues makes for a thrilling read…
Looking forward to seeing what comes next in this series!
Happy reading!

Thank you, Becky Flade!

Fall to Pieces (Philly Heat series, #2)Fall to Pieces by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Definitely different, but I loved the different! Fall to Pieces is an investigation within an investigation. A murder mystery with Internal Affair’s right in the middle.
Lexi, a North East Philly detective, has been assigned a new partner. Xavier has been assigned to Lexi’s precinct to investigate Lexi, what better way to do that then as her partner. First case as partners, a homicide of a child. A case that could make or break her career Lexi is determined to get justice for the family.
Xavier is torn in his quest to prove that Lexi is unfit. Lexi exudes a lot of confidence and qualities he admires, but feels she can be careless. Oh and he’s also attracted to her, that never makes things easy.
I loved the character development of Lexi and Xavier as individuals and working together, but the book has me posing a few questions for you.
Will Lexi find out Xavier has been brought in to essentially “take her badge”?
Will Lexi and Xavier act on their mutual attraction?
Will justice be delivered for Tommy Welsh?
Three intriguing questions that have answers just as intriguing of answers, but if I answered them for you what good is that. READ FIND OUT THOSE 3 ANSWERS AND MORE! This is my second time reading this book. The first time was as a stand-alone, this time I read it in succession with book 1. Made me enjoy it so much more. I love when an author creates characters and focuses on specific ones with each book release.
It’s a whirlwind of a book that will DEFINITELY NOT DISAPPOINT! You are going to want more when it’s over!

These books in this series are great! Yesterday’s Over is no exception. I loved it! I finally read the series in succession but it works just as well as a stand-alone. I love what the author is doing. How everyone is inter-mingled though each book focuses on a specific couple. Romance and some suspense, my favorite combination.
This time the author is focusing on Medical Examiner Trudy and UPenn Anthropologist Ben. Coming together is an unexpected way. A south Philly explosion uncovered bones that have been buried for at least 30 years. Unfortunately Trudy wants answers when Ben is trying to explain there never may be any. She doesn’t accept that. She pushes and pushes so hard they end up in a scary situation. Someone is after her or is it the bones. Break-ins and threats are made, but Trudy pushes forward despite Ben’s urgency to let it go. Ben cares for her but his lack of support could be a deal breaker. It has them at odds with one another, despite the chemistry.
Does Trudy get the answers she seeks?
What happens between Trudy and Ben?
Again I love what the author has done across this whole series. I was drawn to this series because it’s based in Philadelphia PA, and I’m glad. I started and haven’t looked back. I want more! You want some suspenseful romances the Philly Heat Series is definitely for you!

A Love Restrained (Philly Heat series, #1)A Love Restrained by Becky Flade
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!

Yesterday’s Over is the third book in the Philly Heat series and I truly enjoyed reading this book. This is Romance Thriller that will have you turning the pages trying to figure out is going to happen next. This is a fast paced story that is packed with action, drama, suspense, murder mystery and so much more. The characters are amazing and really bring the story to life. This is a story about Ben and Trudy. She works as a Medical examiner who happens to find some bones under a house after an explosion and finds herself working with Ben who is a anthropologist. These two see this case from different views but can they figure out who committed the crime ? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.

Trudy and Ben were great. Trudy meets Ben while working on a case. Ben is also working on the same case. They work together to find the answers they are looking for. Their connection also grew. Will they get to the truth before the killer gets to them?

Overall this was a great read. We get suspense, romance, mystery and so much more. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. The author does a great job with her writing. I look forward to reading more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

Trudy works as a medical examiner who is trying to bring justice to victims and their families. When seeking out answers to the bones found under a house after a huge explosion, she encounters Ben, a forensic anthropologist. Although they see the crime from two different viewpoints, it brings them together. Trudy believes that the killer may still be out in the city. Will these two solve the crime or will the killer find them first to keep them from spilling their secrets?
I love crime and mystery books, now add romance to that. What a wonderful well written book that keeps you wanting more! I will be going back to read the rest of this series!

Yesterday’s Over is the third book in the Philly Heat series. It is a romantic thriller with a few twists and turns. With secrets and lies, bombings and murder, danger and uncertainties just to name a few, there is something for everyone to keep the pages turning.

The complex characters are full of flaws and all and you will fall in love with them. This is Trudy and Ben story where the chemistry between them is undeniable. With romance, drama, and suspense what more do you need. I really enjoy a story when it is told in dual POV and this one was.

To unravel the mystery, they must work together but what happens when professional and private lives become blurred? Who is out to get them and who wants to keep them from unveiling the truth?

I wonder what is next on the agenda for the Philly Heat series?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in this series, I was looking forward to reading this latest story, and I was not disappointed. Assistant Chief Medical Examiner Trudy Beasley is asked to investigate when bones are discovered in the rubble following a massive explosion that rocked Philadelphia. Trudy is used to being able to provide answers and closure to victims families, but the mystery surrounding the skeletal remains is something she’s never seen before. Her instincts are telling her that whoever was responsible for the deaths may still be loose in the city, and she is determined to get answers.
However, Forensic anthropologist Benjamin Roberts disagrees, and just sees the remains as an academic challenge, and not a legal one. The more time the couple spend together as the investigation progresses, Trudy and Ben’s professional relationship also becomes more of a personal one. As their relationship develops, the pair are in danger, as someone wants the secrets that were buried along with the bones to stay a secret, and is willing to kill again. This was an enjoyable and exciting read, with great characters and a storyline that kept me hooked from start to finish. The characters are so likeable and relatable, that I felt engaged with them, and the chemistry between Trudy and Ben really came across in the narrative. An entertaining romantic suspense novel, which I definitely recommend.

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.

The concept was thrilling as well as gripping. The characters were indulging as well as showing great character development, as well as how deeply with details the author had written them. Trudy and Ben were great lead characters, and enjoyed the other characters as well. The story was really intriguing. I am a girl who loves talking bones, so of course there was strong appeal for me haha. The story flowed nicely an was easy to follow. Enjoyed the suspense, and twists that the author gave us. Great read. Loved it!

This book is a must read for me, and I wish I could read it again for the first time! I was hooked and at the edge of my seat till the end! Highly recommend this author, book as well as series! For sure a must read!

Yesterday’s Over: Philly Heat Series #3 by Becky Flade

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Yesterday’s Over is the third book in the Philly Heat Series. The book had me hanging by a thread. The book contains two of my favorite things. Crime and medical people.

Trudy is the corner for the police department. When a building blew up they found bones. She has to call in for help and there she finds Ben. She finds herself in some trouble as they figure out what happened to the people. The quote I chose for Trudy is: “Thank you. Bistro Romano was a good choice. They’ve an excellent wine cellar. That painting? It’s local artist S.S. Welling; an amazing talent. She paints watercolor still lifes so vibrantly they look like photos. I have a smaller, less expensive print in my loft. It was the first thing I ever bought myself that wasn’t second hand and cost slightly less than my car.”

Ben is a professor and loves what he does. When he gets the call about the police finding bones he jumps on it. He finds that Trudy, the medical examiner, is hard to keep off his mind. He wants to see if they have more in common. The quote I chose for Ben is: “I’ve watched you perform autopsies, teach interns, and work with me while juggling administrative issues with aplomb and grace. I’d assumed you were already the Chief Medical Examiner.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Suspense lovers.

Lexi has lost her husband and now people think she’s getting special treatment. Some want her out of the department. She fights to stay and finds herself falling for her new partner. Can she take the hits as they come? The quote I chose for Lexi is:“I’d rather feel boxed in than watched.”

Xavier is new to the team and is under strict instructions to find anything on Lexi. When he finds that she’s passionate about her job things change. He wants her to be the best. The quote I chose for Xavier is: “Xavier Knight. I’d like to say it’s a pleasure, but under these circumstances, that feels inappropriate.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Suspense lovers.

When I found out only special people had stories to tell, I wanted to be one of the magical ones who shared their stories with the world. I wrote my first book in kindergarten with the help of my teacher, Mrs. Daniels. My mom – my biggest fan and most ardent supporter – has that my little crayon-drawn book tucked into the pages of her family bible. It took almost thirty years to get from there to published but here I am, making my own dreams come true, one happily ever after at a time.

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.

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!
