I loved this book. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it after reading the first book – I loved you yesterday – to continue to follow Austin’s story. This one was as fantastic as the first and I loved every page. I Ioved the twist at the end and once again am hanging for the next instalment! I can highly recommend this read!

I love this series and book 2 definitely did not disappoint!! I recommend reading this series in order as some of the storyline from book 1 is addressed in many ways in book 2.
I love meeting Michelle and Royce…..Michelle is a no holds barred travel blogger that is now taking her life in her hands with no one to dictate how she should live her life…..Royce is owner of his own companies and totally super smart…definitely science smarts…but when it comes to love and relationships he hold them from a distance. When Michelle runs into Royce in Iceland they realize they have mutual friends between them. Michelle and Royce knew each other from long ago….but now their attraction toward each other is totally scotching off the charts!!
When strange things start happening at Royce’s businesses….murder and accidents that are not explained…someone from his past is out to get revenge. When the revenge goes to far and also impacts Michelle…Royce will do everything in his power to keep Michelle safe…
This book had it all!! Hot sizzling moments, murder, intrigue, action and some mind blowing twists I did not see coming. I am totally enjoying this series and I am looking forward to seeing more to come for our WaterFyre Rising family!

The Daredevil is the second book in the WaterFyre Rising series by Nadia Han. It is a intriguing friends-to-lovers/billionaire romance. It’s a great addition to the series- a romantic suspense with plenty of intrigue, danger, mystery, tension, secrets, sensitive/trigger issues, chemistry, drama, and sizzle.
I do love this series, but it did take me a beat or two to connect with the characters and become invested in their story. I felt like the story was a little slow to get going, even though there were some ‘tense’ moments- and some of the dialogue at the beginning felt a little stiff. Then as the story progressed and the pace picked up, there seemed to be moments where the story slowed and dragged, before picking up again. But the sizzle, drama, and suspense made up for it in the end, so it didn’t detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the story.
Looking forward to seeing what ‘The Innovator’ (Book #3) has in store for us (due to release in March 2023).
Happy Reading!
Thank you, Nadia Han!

The Daredevil (WaterFyre Rising Book 2) by Nadia Han
The Daredevil is the second book in the WaterFyre Rising Series. This is a Friends to Lover’s Contemporary Romance that I absolutely loved reading. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely going to check out what other books they have written. I found myself lost in the pages and couldn’t put it down till I finished. He’s living life on the edge until he meets her. and she’s got a monster in the closet and is only half way living her life. That is until she meets him. Can he be what she needs to fight the monster in her closet ? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author

This was a really good book! There’s one circumstance that ties the characters together but for the most part this reads like a standalone so I don’t think you have to read the first book to enjoy this one. This book takes place in Iceland, and the imagery the author uses is just magnificent. I thought I was right there with them. I really enjoyed this story and the characters. It’s full of romance and will keep you reading and engaged with the story! I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

In Book 2 of the WaterFyre Rising Series, this story focuses on two other friends from the group of friends in the 1st installment, Royce and Michelle. Royce is a volcanologist and Michelle, a travel blogger, finds themselves ironically enough in the country of Iceland. Their circumstances bring their friendship turned to romance together. From fake dating to healing, they end up needing each other more than they ever thought they would.
This was great reading after finishing the 1st book in the series. Another great asset to this story is that this can be a stand alone book without having to read the previous one. Or who knows perhaps for some, it will entice them to read the first book in the series. Another great romantic suspenseful story that has been reading till the very end. Very much enjoyed this book as much as the first and cannot wait till the next book in the series comes out!

Royce and Michelle. This was such a steamy book and such a good storyline. Royce is a hard guy to crack and Michelle still believes in love. The scientific and blogger storyline was a hook for me as well as the mystery. Royce grew up in a way that makes him scared to love and Michelle also didn’t know her father and he’d abandoned her. Royce has valid feelings in the beginning about not wanting to be like his father. Overall this book was a great read and I definitely recommend it.

The Daredevil is the second book in the Waterfyre Rising series, and it is incredible! I was captivated and breezed through the entire thing before I knew it! You can read this as a standalone if you so choose, but you don’t want to miss out on the magical writing of Nadia Han. I was at the edge of my seat and loved every minute of it.
Royce is our daredevil who loves adrenaline spikes and seeks the thrills that others shy away from. But underneath everything is a man who just wants to be loved and accepted. Michelle is traveling for a new job, but she has walls around her heart and emotions, unwilling to take risks again. Will they be enough to save each other from what they’ve accepted as life, or will they create another excuse to hide away?
You can feel the chemistry leaping off the pages and it comes so naturally, which was incredibly refreshing. This author will be a constant recommendation to anyone in my life for sure, I highly recommend it!

This turned out to be a wonderful story! At first I was concerned about that is moving along at a slow pace with all the inter-speculation. That did bother me throughout the whole story but eventually I was able to get past it and get immersed into the story. The actual action and suspense throughout the story is attention grabbing. I loved that part of the story as well as the romance between Michelle and Royce. The connection between these two is cosmic and it is shown numerous times throughout the story. One of my favorite things is Royce’s job because of all the neat things I learned and I don’t think I have run across another one in my years of reading.
This story is filled with lovely sayings and thoughts. I loved that Royce is a volcanologist because that leads to a lot of cool and sweet sayings. One of my favorite…okay there is the T-shirt sayings (so cute!) but also:
“Love flows through all of us like magma flowing through the earth. Sometimes it takes an eruption for you to understand its beauty, its power, its essence—the love that is seeped within nature.”
Just makes me go Awe! See what I mean? Just filled with wonderful sentiment.
I really enjoy all the work this author puts into these stories. So many connections, fun filled times perfectly woven through the story. I get pulled into their lives and come to care about the characters and what is going to happen. I look forward to more from this series and this author.

I was not expecting all the steaminess this book provided. So if that isn’t your thing then this book will not be for you. It is done very tastefully compared to other books. However, once I started I could not stop. I had to know how their story played out!
Royce and Michelle are friends through their mutual friends. Their story turns out to be so much more. They discover that it’s the Universe that has put them in each other’s lives. They have encountered one another without really knowing. I loved that part of their story. They were destined to be together.
Royce was raised by his aunt and encountered some hard moments very early in his life that likely shaped him to be who he turned into. He is a successful business owner that Michelle was trying to not let herself get caught up in. When unlikely circumstances kept pushing them together!
The end, I was not expecting that at all. What a great happy twist and this author did an amazing job at making you feel like you were watching their story unfold and keeping you sucked in the whole time.

I knew I was going to love this book SO much! I read the first one and loved it from the very first page! It was the same for this one! I was actually stuck just from reading the blurb! So good! Characters are amazing, the plot was great! Author has a way of grabbing your attention and keeping you interested and I love that! And it’s friends to lovers? That’s one of my favorite tropes and I can’t get enough of it. Michelle and Royce are just great together! There’s some spice in this book as well but who doesn’t love that? 😍 the suspense and drama ALSO had me hooked. I need a book that gives me all the emotions and this book did that! Such a great read!! Check trigger warnings before reading!
The Mastermind by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a great story! I love a good suspenseful mystery twirled with some romance. Book one of the WaterFyre Rising Series, this book features Remington or Remi, who emerges from his dark and mysterious past as he claims his own path in life being successful and not letting disruptions in his way. There is also Audri, the sister of one of Remi’s best friends, who is seeking her own path in the world amidst her own past and present struggles. The various moments they had appeared in each other’s lives, they always had a sense of connection and alluring connection for one another. When their circumstances fall into seeing each other more often, they eventually can’t help it but to see where this connection leads to. It is honestly amazing to see their love journey emerge.
As their relationship develops, other alarming details seem to start connecting Remi and Audri into unfortunate circumstances that seem all interconnected. Lies, deceptions, harassment, past secrets and betrayal lead them into such horrible situations they never imagined. Remi has been known to make sure those who wronged him got what they deserved but how would Audri feel about his actions towards protecting himself and those he cares for? This is a must read and a great introduction to another amazing series! Contemporary romance and suspense at its best!

Royce lives is life look for the next thrill and pushing limits. Michelle, a travel blogger doesn’t want to get involved or attached to anyone due to her past demons. Their friendship turned romance makes them both face their demons and obstacles.
This is the second book but you can definitely read this as a stand alone. There are steamy scenes. A good story.

There is a caution with this book so make sure to check it out before reading the book.
The Daredevil is a friends-to-lovers contemporary romance tale where the suspense is often palpable. Nadia has done it again with secrets and lies, danger and hope, steam and passion there is something for all to enjoy. It is the second book in the WaterFyre Rising series and can be read as a standalone, but I encourage you to read book 1 first as it is such a good read.
As the books title suggests the Daredevil is living life on the edge and the high and the thrill that goes with it. That is until he meets her. It is the one that could make him whole again?
She is living a half-life and that life is shrouded with a monster that no one can banish. That is until she meets him. He may just be the one who can fight her monster, but can he keep her safe?
This thrilling tale will have you on the edge of your seat as you embark on this journey of highs and lows
I can’t wait for the next instalment.

This is the second book in the WaterFyre Rising and it’s just as good as the first. This book is about Royce and Michelle. I was so happy to see snippets of Remi and Audri. Royce is a strong, alpha male character who is very sure of himself but carries some pretty heavy baggage. Michelle also has her demons. Theirs is not an easy journey. Exceptional writing and highly recommend.

This is the second in the WayerFyre Rising series but you do not need to read the first to read this one. The main characters start off as friends from the same group who run into each other in Iceland. They get to be better friends and fake ( not for long) date. The suspense and action is well written. There are plot twists that surprise you and keep you on your toes. Some of the scenes may be too spicy for some (not me but some people may not like it). All in all great book!

This book was a nice light romance read, and the characters had great character growth. In the beginning we are introduced to Austin and then to Casey. This book was the first time I was introduced to these characters, even though this is the second book in the series. I thought the story between Austin and Casey were a very cute couple that had to learn to grow together. They also had to learn how to manage life with out Mavis, as this person both impacted the two in differing ways.

This is the 2nd book in this fantastic series which I’ve loved so far. This book technically can be read as a standalone but I think you’d enjoy it more and understand it better if you have read the first book in the series beforehand.
In this 2nd book Austin is trying to mend his heart after losing the girl he loves to his twin brother Josh. I have to say that I wasn’t the biggest fan of Austin in the first book as Josh and Mavis were always destined to be together. Austin should not have gone near Mavis in a romantic way. Reading this book, we see a whole different side of Austin and realise that he really did love Mavis and was totally heartbroken. I have to say that I totally fell in love with Austin in this book. As for Casey, well, she’s a total breath of fresh air. She’s quirky, sassy and rather awesome and she’s just exactly what Austin needed.
I really enjoyed reading Austin and Casey’s story. It really takes you on an emotional journey. I was gripped by the story from the very beginning and did not want to put the book down. I just had to know how their story turned out.
In addition to Austin and Casey’s story we get the beginnings of what will be Lauren and Mitch’s story in the third book and I’m already excited for that.

This book certainty held its own! I have read others book by this wonderful author, and I must say this one gives appeal in a different sense but captivates just as the author’s other works have.
Royce and Michelle, really had the wow factor chemistry going on. I loved the romantic suspense between them and the mysterious plot that was at hand. I had a lot of curiosity as I read and I loved how the book kept me engaged and interested in the plot and the characters. I loved the development with characters and the relationships around them as well! The book had lot of intrigue, and suspense that builds up, in a good way, and left you nothing short of intrigued! Loved it!
Such a thrilling read. I could not put this one down! The author never disappoints me in anything that they write, highly recommend this must read book as well as the intriguing author behind the writing!

What a very sweet story. I am a complete suckered for a 2nd chance romance. KG hit me right in the feels with this one. Ted is an admirable character right from the start! He took the fault for a crime he didn’t commit. And never once made anyone feel bad that he did. Robyn seemed like a very sweet natured woman that loved Ted more than she deserved.
I really enjoyed this book so so much.

This is a romantic suspense that is exciting and full of drama. Someone is sabotaging Royce’s business and it goes back a long way. Michelle has come to Iceland to use her blog to help market a new line of cosmetics. Right off the bat you can feel the sparks ignite between these two. The author has written in such a way that you feel the ignition. There is a little spice in the book, it totally fits and keeps the ice away. I found the suspense and adventure keeps your adrenaline going as you are reading. You feel like you’re in the story. I felt engaged from the beginning. I’m becoming a fan of this series since The Mastermind. The protagonist is a strong woman that can get through the challenge and let’s the man help her at times. She’s brave but knows when she needs help. The plot was outstanding. I enjoyed trying to figure out who did it and what was going on. I like it when a book gives me this kind of plot along with romance. Big fan of romantic suspense here. I loved this book and believe that you should read it too.

Well I’m not sure where to start with this wonderful book but after reading the first sentence I knew I would be hooked. Having only read a couple of novels by this author before I knew just by looking at the amazing cover that I was in for a great read and I definitely wasn’t wrong. Not only did this author provide us with an amazing story as a whole, but she brings together two completely opposite characters to tie this story all together like a perfect Christmas bow. There is definitely a lot of emotion in this book, and it definitely takes us on an emotional ride, but trust me when I say it’s definitely worth the read.

❥ PREORDER ❥Lily is running. From a dead-end job, a neurotic mother and all the losers she dared to date. Moving halfway across the world to Bluestone County seemed like a good idea at the time. So did reopening her estranged father’s hardware store. But now she isn’t so sure.
Small town living has its perks though. Wide-open space, clean air, and sexy cowboys. Well, one sexy cowboy. Jake. Who also just so happens to be the new bane of her existence. At least when he’s not talking, she can admire the view.
Jake is the king of casual. The love of his life has always been his ranch, and that was fine with him. He never really saw the point in long-term. But all that changes when a mouthy, blonde sasses him into oblivion. He should have known she’d be trouble as soon as he laid eyes on her. Now it’s too late. She’s all he can think about. All he has to do is convince her that he’s finally the right man.
Isobel Reed’s hilarious, emotionally charged romance will have you holding your side with laughter or reaching for a tissue. Reminiscent of small-town romance by Tessa Bailey or Kristen Ashley, you will fall in love with LOVE TOOLS and Isobel Reed’s unique writing style.
