This book has just the right amount of romance, suspense, and magic. It is refreshing to see a book with real problems and feelings but it also has a HEA. You will fall in love with Bella. This is a page turner, once you start you won’t be able to stop until you are done.

I was really looking forward to reading the fifth book in this series and I wasn’t disappointed. It was great to catch up with Miles and Bella again and see their story progress and their story definitely isn’t plain sailing. There was so much going on in this book and it definitely captured my interest from beginning to end. There really is so much more to this story than meets the eye and I really enjoyed reading it. The author has a wonderful imagination and creative writing style and she certainly managed to engage me throughout this book and the previous ones. I would recommend reading the books in order to understand the characters and their relationships.
Overall, really great book and one that I would highly recommend.

This is the 5th book in this series and while you can read this on its own, you can appreciate it more if you read the other 4 books before this.
I really enjoyed this book, it kept me reading and attached to the characters I was reading about. Its not often you read a story about an already married couple who have a pretty strong relationship and how they work through the problems that come along and that i think is what really kept me enjoying this more and more.
Highly recommend

When you are almost late to work you know its a great read! I didn’t realize this book was part of a series but you definitely don’t have to read the others first. I will be going back and reading them after enjoying this one so much! I loved reading about Bella and Miles. Their trials and conversations made the story seem more real and then throw in some secrets to make a great page turner. Not to mention the different plot twist that I was totally not expecting!

I was happy to see another book in the More Family Saga. Face the Fire was not my favorite in the series, but it was still a good continuation. The story picks up shortly after the previous book left off- with Miles and Bella still newly weds and managing life after the birth of their twins. They are listed as stand alone books, but I think you should read them all to get a full story. Miles has a unique gift, better explained in early books, and their relationship and overall family dynamic is built upon. I felt like this story had too much focus on external characters, mainly Pharroh. Pharroh is an artist within Ari Music, and Bella is his handler, so to speak. He develops a crush on her, and drama ensues. The book had a good ending, wrapping everything up nicely. I hope to have the next book focus on the twins.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There is lots of action in this Book 2 of the Moore Family Saga series. Miles is quite the surprising little character, with lots of tricks up sleeve! When his powers are discovered, the family members all react in different ways, casting about as to how to handle the new development. Then tragedy strikes the family, it’s all they can do to hold together and keep safe.
I really enjoyed getting to know Miles and figuring out about all the things he can do. There were a lot of plot twists, and some surprises I definitely didn’t see coming. The characters deepened in this book 2, and became more lifelike for me. Overall, I found this book more engrossing and layered than the first one in the series. Glad I decided to check out the second one.

Act I: Seed On Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Seed on Fire is book encompassing a wide of range of emotional topics in life: love, hardship, sacrifice, loss, disillusionment, and forgiveness. Throughout the turmoil, Lecia and Cade’s love is tested and strained to the edges of its bounds, as it is pummeled by threat after threat. Cade loves his wife deeply, but struggles to come to terms with his changing role as a father, and what that means for his career, his marriage, and his sense of self. These two love each other fearlessly throughout the ups and downs of the early marriage, and hope that if they hang on tight enough that their relationship will survive forever.
I found this book tended to be rather melodramatic and hokey in parts, leaning heavily on the ‘soulmate’ trope in way I found hard to take seriously. Perhaps I am too jaded a reader, but I found it hard to believe in their relationship. A more romantically inclined reader may have a very different take!

This romantic paranormal novel was full of suspense which had me hooked from start to finish. The novel is book five in the series and can be read as a standalone story, however, the characters do crossover. Having been introduced to the main characters in a previous book, I enjoyed the continuation of Miles and Bella’s story. The storyline is definitely unique with a mix of romance, drama, suspense, magic, paranormal aspects and added magical realism elements, but it all makes for an enjoyable and engaging read. Bella and Miles Moore are great characters with plenty of chemistry.
Miles is determined to make his dreams of having a music empire a reality but his wife, Bella is concerned that business is taking over family life. Bella also fears that the extremely competitive music industry along with the growing feud with their competitors will lead to bloodshed. The couple are still trying to keep their secrets from being revealed, and also discover that their shared success is endangering not just them but those they love. The author really does merge genres well and vividly brings the setting and characters to life with her descriptive narrative. This is a fast paced read, with an exciting plot that kept me turning the pages late until the night!

Miles is now grown, and we get to know the adult in this book. Fire God Tour is book 3, and I would advise to read previous books in the series. Miles is a successful musician and on tour. His new chief of marketing has caught his eye. Only problem is she doesn’t like fire. I really enjoyed this romance, and once again the author puts the focus on the relationship and overcoming the obstacles. Another great romance plot line by this author!

With Miles and Bella getting married, we start book 4 in this series in a happy and exciting place. However, things soon start taking a turn as they encounter people and secrets from the past. I love how the author always brings such a realistic outlook to romance and relationships. Even when two people truly love you, communication and compromise definitely have to be there as well. Thank you to the author for bringing us such great storylines and romance.

I really enjoyed this paranormal romance. This books can be read as a standalone but I think if you read from the start of the series it will give you a better understanding of the characters. However I have just read this one and I was still able to enjoy and follow the story.
The author does an amazing job with her characters and building the world around them.
Bella and Miles are both part of the music industry. From the outside they have everything you could wish for. Bella’s and Miles relationship is strong but it does get tested a lot in this story.
Add to this the hidden secret about Miles’s gifts which is hard to keep hidden when they are so much in the public eye.
Bella wants to settle down and raise her twins. Her priority is them and their happiness and safety, but Miles seems to be focused more on his career and business than being with his family. With the added stress of Pharaoh, causing trouble and rifts in their marriage. Can they work through it all and stay strong or will something finally succeed in pulling them apart?

This was a decent read. It had a really good storyline and interesting characters. However I couldn’t get into this one easily. I think I was having an off reading day, but no matter how much I tried to concentrate and read I just couldn’t make sense of some of the story. The timeline seemed wonky and just random part of the times and then at others the conversations seemed a little forced. I’ve read two previous installments of this series in the past and while they had some of the same issues I didn’t notice it as bad as I did this time around. Again I think it was just an off reading day because when I could get into the story the plot was interesting, the characters were interesting, and it was really good I just had a lot of trouble getting into this one. Maybe next time will be better for me!

Face the Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 5) by Michele Sims. I have loved this series so much and this book was no different. This could be read as a standalone. This is the continuing saga of the Moore family and in this book Miles and Bella have finally gotten married and have had twins. Bella is very family oriented and always puts them first. Miles is more career motivated and wants nothing more than to have a very successful music career. Bella is the Chief Marketing Officer for their growing company and she knows that any competition is going to be cut throat. While she learns more about the music industry and their competitors she realizes it can be very dangerous and she will do anything to protect her family. Will they be able to continue to grow their business and keep their family safe or will it tear Miles and Bella apart? Read this great addition to this series!

A Fantastic five-star read. This is the start of the Moore Family Saga and it just starts with a bang, showing us about how this author manages to create characters that will ensnare you, they will have you caring about them in the first few pages and all the way through. I weirdly started this series at book four, and then realised that I could go back and read them all and I am, its great. Coming back to the start and sinking my teeth in again, was like coming back to old friends, falling in love again. This is a great story and I am so excited to sink into number two.

I was excited to get my hands on this fifth and exciting installment of the Moore Family Saga and it most certainly did not disappoint! I was completely swept up and away into this story much like I had been in the past with the others. I would personally recommend that you take the time to delve into those before this one as they really lay a foundation of the family and the characters that will build the story for you. The author does a wonderful job of building the world and the story that I am sure if you really did not want to you could read it as a standalone and I am sure you would be hooked into it and want to read the others though. In this one we find ourselves completely immersed in the world of Miles and Bella, and I find myself really finding this one to be my top favorite! I cannot wait to see what will come next!

The Moore Family Saga book 5 starts with Miles and Bella with twins and still working together in the music industry. As outside forces show up and work to split them up, we see the couple have to fight and protect what they have. The main theme in this series is the family and what family means. All of the books have their own unique storyline and this story is a wonderful addition to the series. The author brings it in the emotional turmoil and depth of her characters.

I dove right into this book without having read the first four in this series. I found this to be an enjoyable read without feeling lost in any way. I do however plan to go back and read the other books for more of a back story and because I’m sure they are just as good as this one and I would like to know whilst I missed. This book kept me entertained throughout the entire story. I loved how strong Miles and Bella’s marriage is even with the obstacles and outside forces that can cause problems. Miles’ success is important to him but is the cost too high? To find out this and more you must read this book. The magic in this story is an added bonus to an already good read. I recommend this book.

Playing with Fire is book 2 in the Moore Family Saga. Cade and Lecia are back with their child, Miles, who was born with a genetic mutation that gives him a super power – fire. Even with this paranormal theme starting to weave itself into this story, the focus is still on family bonds and the highs/lows of parenthood. It’s about the good and bad in every individual. As the Moore’s navigate parenthood, careers, and marital difficulties, we all can relate in some way or another. Well written and enjoyable read.

Seed on Fire is the first book in the Moore Family Saga. Cade and Lecia are the main characters in this story, and it starts with tension and resentments building between this couple that are expecting their first child. I found the emotional turmoil and reactions of the characters so realistic. So many changes and challenges come as people become first time parents. I think the author did an amazing job of representing that in the story. While this series is a paranormal series, I don’t feel like that is the focus. Family values and the familial relationships really stand out. Overall, a really good read.

Face the Fire is the 5th book in this series. I have only read one other book in the series but I didn’t have trouble following the characters from the previous book that I read. However, I’m sure the story would be better if you read the series in order.
However, I really enjoyed reading about Miles and Bella and their family. From the beginning of this book, you jump right into a situation that Miles as a music producer and with his paranormal abilities skirts a bit around the right thing to do. Seeing how Miles and Bella’s strong relationship working together kept my interest. There were many nights I had a hard time putting the book down to get some rest.

The 5th book in the Moore Family Saga was such a great read. Miles and Bella our main characters are married and have twins. They are very attentive to their immediate and extended family and the strength they gather from this closeness is truly a fine work of detail written in by the author. I love to read about strong family bonds and romance especially when a bit of paranormal is tossed into the mix! I enjoyed the easy reading style and the deeply feeling characters that are incredibly well thought out and written. It was so great to be able to identify and be able to hear the thoughts of both of our main characters not just a one-sided conversation or thought bubble. While I have not read the first four books, I am anxious to go back and start the series from the beginning as book 5 had me enthralled from the first page. It was exciting to be able to see a glimpse inside the music industry and to learn about the pitfalls and the fact that even celebrities remain tempted by their past, their fame, and the money. But I must say that the romance scenes are classy and romantic and so well written that I couldn’t help but to fall in love with Miles myself. Such a great read!

This series has been sublime, I have loved every page. I am so excited to see what this author will imagine next.

All of the characters play a part in this story, but my goodness Miles will play every string of your heart and leave you wanting more. Number four was good, but this one will just blow you away.
