Playing with Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Playing With Fire is Book Two in the Moore Family Saga Series of books. This book seamlessly picks up where book one left off. Cade’s success as a musician is taking off when he’s been offered a chance to go on tour in Paris, France. Alicia and his young son Miles come along with them until Alicia becomes tired of the touring and wants to return with their young son back to the United States. Alicia knew that when she married Cade that things would sometimes become difficult because of him being a musician. But what she never anticipated was how alone that she would feel even though she is married. She knows that Cade loves her with all his heart, but she misses her family back home and wants her young son to get to know her side of the family. Cade is upset and misses his wife and young son terribly. However, he is also enjoying his fame and his rise to stardom, which causes Cade to become conflicted between his family and his growing success as a musician.

Shortly after Alicia returns home with her young son Miles, he falls very ill. She must call Cade and get him to come home as she breaks the news to him that their young son is gravely ill. To make matters worse Alicia must deal with a woman who was once her friend but has now become her enemy. Will Cade and Alicia be able to get to the bottom of what strange ailment is afflicting their young son? Will they be able to remain strong as a couple while also enduring the ups and downs and hardships of parenting?

This is a great series and I highly recommend that you start with book one, Seed on Fire, and work your way through the series because each book introduces you to more of the storyline. Each book progresses where the last one left off and answers some questions from the previous book. In Book Two we are introduced to more of the family and their roles that play a vital part in the Moore Family Saga. We learn a lot about both Kaiden and Alicia and their respective upbringings when we are introduced to their families. Things become intense with Kaiden, and Alicia’s relationship and it threatens to disintegrate when they are hit with some bumps in the road. They are forced to decide if they should weather the storm together or call it quits.
