My rating: 5 of 5 stars
So this is a short but sweet story, it’s about Riley a private detective and Tristan who save Riley from a fire. There’s mystery, a touch of danger and of course the sweet romance. I really enjoyed reading the book. I do wish it was longer but I am still going to read the next book in the series.

A meeting of eyes, with a spark of interest, in the coffee shop – exactly what Riley Scott and Tristan Cain have – yet neither of them act on it, each for their own reasons. Yet, as fate would have it, they would see each other again. And so begins their story.
This story was well written with well developed characters and detailed words building. I would recommend this book to others. It was a quick, enjoyable read.

Where Fire Meets Flame is the first book in the Yours From the Ashes series by Elena Kincaid. This is an engrossing contemporary romance, with suspense, mystery, action, danger, drama, intrigue, tension, emotion, twists, chemistry, and sizzle.
This is a short story, but it packs the punch of a much longer novel. It has a fast pace, and I finished the book in one easy sitting.
Riley is a strong independent and sassy private investigator. Tristan is a hunky firefighter who has a bit of an agenda. What happens when he comes to Riley’s rescue, more than once? Well, get set because the sparks fly, and things get heated- in more ways than one.
Looking forward to the rest of the series…
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Elena Kincaid!

This book starts off really strong with the steam which I wasn’t expecting. The overall plot of the story is good. The writing is good as well. If you enjoy steamy romances, this will be perfect for you.

WOW. So, this book had a very spicy start to say the least. This is the first book I have read by the talented Elena Kincaid, and I am already looking into her other work and ready for book two in the Yours From The Ashes series. Where Fire Meets Flame is a dual perspective, told from Riley and Tristan’s sides.
The book starts with Riley on a case into yet another cheating husband when she is suddenly hit from behind and memories of her car accident 6 months earlier lead into a flashback. Nine months earlier a chance encounter at her favorite coffee shop brings the two main characters together. Instant sparks on both sides but he has a complicated situation and doesn’t want the beautiful redhead caught in the cross hairs. Shannon, the living embodiment of evil if you will. Tristan had attempted to date her for about two months but his work schedule and the fact that there was no spark for him with her. After several instances he has no choice but to get a restraining order against Shannon, but she has a few loose screws and won’t let that stop her from getting near him. Riley and Tristan finally share their first kiss at a night club one night only for Shannon, or as Riley knows her the “grumpy brunette”, to appear. Suddenly, Riley was involved in a seven car pile up days later, and then Tristan is told she is dead. Returning to the present-day, Tristan is holding Riley in his arms trapped in a burning building, she’s alive and every terrible reality comes crashing down, Shannon is behind it all.
Will Riley and Tristan get there happily ever after? Can the police catch Shannon in time? The world the author creates is one based in reality; I have known people in similar situations with a crazy ex. More important is the amazing characters, breaking stereotypes, a petite female that loves kickboxing, and an over six-foot-tall man not afraid to show emotions when overwhelmed. This was the perfect short Sunday read to finish off the month of April and I anxiously await the next installment in this series.

Riley….Tristan… i could leave the review right there. This book was exceptional. I could NOT put it down and I may have been missing in this book for hours while my family fended for themselves. What a dynamic this duo had. Definitely a satisfying read. Book one in the Yours From The Ashes series and I cannot wait to see what’s next. This one will be hard to top and is most definitely in my read again stash.

I have loved every book I’ve picked up from Elena Kincaid, this one included! Where Fire Meets Flame is the first book in the Yours From The Ashes series and it’s a quick but wonderful start. There is plenty of romance and steamy scenes throughout as well. You’ll devour this in one sitting because you can’t get enough of Tristan and Riley! Their chemistry is amazing, and the characters are quite in-depth for a shorter story. I love the protective vibe I get from Tristan too. I can’t wait for the next book already!

Have you ever been somewhere, and you see a cute guy or girl and your eyes meet and you feel a little chemistry, maybe you talk to each other but don’t exchange numbers, so you go back to the place just hoping you might run into them again? If so, you need to read this book. It’s a quick contemporary romance. Fast paced, strong characters some stalker drama and steamy romance.

While I enjoyed the overall story, it felt a bit rushed or underdeveloped. The main character, Riley, supposedly is closed off to relationships, but after only spending a short amount of time with Tristan, she seems to open right up. Terry, Riley’s best friend, seemed like a fun and interesting character that barely received a cameo part in the story. The writing style, characters, and overall plot were good; the book just didn’t seem to reach its full potential. This one does have a decent amount of steamy scenes.

Short story firefighter romance that leaves you wanting more from this world. Where Fire Meets Flame was enjoyable. The author gives a wonderful back story, however that’s the majority of this series.
Riley’s a private detective that’s on an assignment that’s going to upset her client. Unfortunately she never made it out of the building. She was knocked out cold and left for dead, while the building went up in flames.
Tristan has been in mourning the last few months but that does keep him from doing his job. The building’s coming down and he needs to get himself and this woman out. Unfortunately they don’t have enough time. They end up in the basement where he shares his oxygen with her. Little does he know the surprise he has within his grasp. Which when it jumps back 9 months prior to the interactions between these two. And the danger that’s lurking.
Will Riley and Tristan get their chance?
Or will the danger lurking win?
It’s short but cute! Definitely enjoyed it and want more from this world.
Riley is a private investigator, her job is to uncover the evil doings of cheating husbands or wifes, seeing that the reality of relationships is such that she decided long ago that her heart and soul will be forever closed for business.
Tristan is a firefighter with a very crazy ex-girlfriend, they happened to date a month but the woman does not get the message, and stalks the man to the point of lunacy.
One day by the clever ways of destiny Riley meets Tristan in a coffee shop, and their adventure begins under the most unexpected circumstances. A romance story full of action and unexpected twists.

This was a quick, easy, and engaging read. It was my first by this author and I quite enjoyed it. The world building was great, storyline kept you turning the pages, and the chemistry of the characters really comes through the pages. This book had almost anything you could want: enjoyable characters, steam, and suspense. I only wish it were longer! The author does a wonderful job, but the story and characters really could have been developed even more and more pages could have made an already very good story into a great one! I look forward to reading the rest of the series still!

I really enjoyed this short romance. It was a gripping read with a dangerous twist that made the story even more of a read I couldn’t put down. The author does an incredible job with the characters, you can’t help but what them to work out despite all the obstacles against them.
Tristan is a firefighter. Everyday he puts his life in danger protecting innocent people. After splitting with an ex and her turning strange on him, he had given up on the idea of romance that is until he meets Riley.
Riley is a private detective. She has seen the dark side of relationship far too often so she closes herself off to the idea until she meets Tristan.
But their path to romance isn’t straight forward. With 2 incidents involving Riley almost losing her life and Tristan rescuing her everytime they realise these aren’t random incidents. Someone is trying to harm Riley but why?
As this story unravels you are taken on a heart racing journey as Tristan and Riley struggle to find each other and escape a danger than is determined to keep them apart.

Riley Scott is a Private Detective who has seen more than her share of ugly. Both in crimes and relationships. She has no time, nor does she want time for another relationship. Tristan Cain the tall blue eyed firefighter. Has his own downfalls in the relationship department. Besides, he has other things on his mind, one being getting justice. That is all I can say about this story. I give No Spoilers! This is a story you need to read. The author of this book is very talented with her words. Her story is clearly written and at times I felt like I was seeing the events in my mind. The characters felt like people I know I would love to be friends with, maybe I already am. The story is fast paced and brings forth many emotions. This author was new to me, but not anymore, she climbed onto my must read list.

There’s definitely some sizzling chemistry between these two. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Elena Kincaid starts you out just right. Who doesn’t love an immediate sex scene beginning. This story is a twisty love tale with a slight triangle that is just staring from the back. I really enjoyed the tale of how Riley fell for Tristan at first sight but nothing allowed them to go farther. Shannon loves Tristan too and sometimes one love is crazier than the other. Can’t wait for the next book of this series.

It is a fast paced story where Tristan rescues Riley from a fire but what will happen when fate puts them together a second time? In search of justice, they may just find safety and heart barriers are broken down. I enjoyed both of these characters. They add so much to the story which makes it easy to read. They are strong, supportive characters that are relatable and pull you into their world. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout and their chemistry is undeniable. They truly made the story for me. This is a hard to put down story that will keep you coming back for more. An engaging story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Where Fire Meets Flame is a fun contemporary romance. It is the first book in Elena’s Yours From The Ashes which I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, it is a short, but it is a sweet, sexy and steamy read. It is filled with action, a spot or two of danger, a little suspense and a dash of tension. There is humour within a world where vengence keeps getting in the way.
I enjoyed the amazing characters and the world that Elena created.
Riley Scott is a private detective and one feisty redhead who is not looking for a relationship the reinforced steel around her heart says so. That is until she keeps crossing paths with one sexy man.
Tristan finds himself coming to the rescue of one independent and sassy woman who finds herself in the heat of things more often than not. She doesn’t know it but one look in those eyes and he was a goner.
Can he keep her safe?
It is sizzling, hot and scorching with flying sparks in more than one way. If you are not careful you will caught in the fire.
I look forward to more from Elena.

Hmm, a tale of spontaneous combustions with a little psycho stalker. Oh, let’s not forget a dash of steamy romance. I found the story of Tristan and Riley quite intriguing and fun to follow. You could feel their chemistry. They had their own drama to take care of. I do wish the story could have been a little longer. It was quite exciting, colorful, and adventurous in this short read. Who doesn’t like a story with firefighters? Come on, you know you do? A quick ready to enjoy over a weekend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is book two of the series. It can be read as a standalone. If you are looking for a spicy m/f/m romance this one is for you.
Jocelyn is struggling after the death of her mother. She can’t handle the guilt she feels so she pushes everyone close to her away. Her dreams are trying to tell her something but it can’t be real right? They are dreams after all. Cameron dreams of Jocelyn every night. He’s not sure the significance but he’s always seen things others haven’t. His dreams take a turn when Reed makes an appearance as well. Will these three connect or are these dreams just that?
This wasn’t a book I’d typically read but it was really well written and pulled me in. It didn’t lag anywhere and the story was engaging. I’m glad I picked it up!

I loved the continuation of Joss, Cameron and Reed’s story. I knew when they finally met, things would get hot and I am so glad I was not wrong. The three of them share such a strong and intimate bond, despite not meeting before the cruise ship. I love the paranormal aspect to the story. It’s very fitting. You should give this series a try asap!

Reed and Cameron are cousins and two share a dream in which they meet and interact with Jocelyn, a girl they have never met. Every night, the three meet in their dreams and they all become close. Tragedy strikes Jocelyn and she begins to push them away.
I don’t usually read ménage a trois but the plot of this caught my attention.
I enjoyed reading this and getting to know the characters and how Reed and Cameron want to be there for Jocelyn, even as she runs from them and her feelings.
This is short but it packs a lot of emotions and conflict. I am a sucker when it comes to paranormal aspects.

The FMC keeps people out of her life after she looses her mom in an accident but she can’t keep her men out, no matter how hard she tries. Luckily her guys don’t take the push back laying down and soon push past her fears for an hea full of steam!

Made in Heaven series book 2. This book is almost as good as the first one. You do NOT need to read these books in order as the characters are totally different and not connected in anyway from book to book.
This book has cousins, Cameron and Reed and their dream girl (literally) Joselyn.
But will their love remain only in the dream realm or will they ever find each other?
The biggest thing in this story is that Cameron is psychic, How or will this affect their future together?
I recommend this book, it is full for hot steamy scenes, just a disclaimer though it is MMF and it is HOT.

The spice? Amazing. The plot? Fantastic. It’s a bit of a paranormal RH book, which brought an interesting element into the story. Cam’s visions with Jocelyn in the beginning really set the stage for the whirlwind romance. It’s a short, quick read. I think I finished it in about 2 hours. This book can be read as a stand alone within the two books in the current series, and I’ll for sure be checking out the first!
