Face the Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 5) by Michele Sims – Review by Kerry Carr

Face the FireFace the Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I picked 4 stars but it’s more like 4.5. I enjoyed the way the battle with the Hellspawn ended. I loved the introduction of new characters and the goodbye to others. However I don’t feel like the part about the elemental witches was concluded enough. It seemed like it was going to be a bigger deal than it was. Even with that being said this was a great book and I’m sad that the story is over. Oh and the cover art for all three books is gorgeous.

How much have I absolutely loved this series you ask? Well it’s more than I can easily put into words. Tasha and Levi have taken my heart and I’ll never forget their adventure they took me on. This book was even better than the first two and I honestly can’t wait to reread the series again at some point. Once again I was instantly drawn in and ready for the ride the author and the characters created were taking me on. I tried slowly reading but it just couldn’t be done I was hooked and read it all in one sitting. This author knows the key to writing a story that leaves you wondering real world from fiction and I loved it! Another well written storyline that everyone needs to one click right now. Five well earned stars and highly recommended!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series. I loved it! It’s fast paced. You learn so much about all of the characters that were mentioned in the first book. There are quite a few surprises. The war between the vampires, Lycans, and hellspawn is insane. I’ve never read a book like this before. The intimate moments are decent. My only complaint is that at this point Tasha should know Levi’s feelings. The constant doubt she has kind of gets tiresome. Luckily Levi is a patient guy. Radar is still my favorite. He’s such an adorable guy. I love his technology expertise and his hobby.

Forbidden WolfForbidden Wolf by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the theme of the book. Forbidden love between two different species and the battles they face by being together. I thought the story was very original. I didn’t like how frequent some phrases were used.

The characters were developed nicely. Tasha is a good person to her core. She sees the world differently and has faith in what it could be. Levi is intense but in a good way. He knows what he wants and will do everything in his power to make sure he gets it.

My favorite character is actually Radar. I hope we get a spin off series in the future. Maybe he finds his mate or the creature he’s been searching for.

The pace of the book was medium to fast. There’s parts that go a tad slow but it’s definitely a page turner.

Tasha and Levi are at it again but even stronger this time with their daughter and Tashas honed in on her power with the help of the witches. I’ve been waiting for this last installment of the book for sometime but the author has been quick with releases. I’m sad to see it end but it was not with any disappointment at all. I cannot wait to read the spin off series comming out. There was plenty of action, world building, character building and sexual tension as always. I don’t want it to end. Whose to say CR will end it though? Maybe in spin offs the author will decide to continue some more stories about Tasha and Levi. This was the best in the series in my opinion. A must get, and a to go. Couldn’t put it down.

This novel was so good. It was a fitting end to Tasha and Levi’s story. There was adventure, suspense, joy, vampires, werewolves and very intense fight scenes. This series has been epic and it kept my attention, I could not put it down. I love a happy ending and this book didn’t disappoint. I highly recommend this series for anyone who loves paranormal adventures.

This is the 3rd book in the series and I really loved it.
In this book Rebecca is happily married , her career is at an all time high and she leads a good life with her husband and step daughter.
However, nothing remains perfect. People from the past turn up and it makes the relationship between Rebecca and her husband difficult.
Her step daughter is stepping into her shoes with a penchant for singing and blooms into a confident little girl. Rebecca has to really fight with all her strength to hold on to the things and people who are dear to her life. It is a bitter sweet ending, but I did enjoy every bit of this fast paced love story.

Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream is the second book in the Rebecca Steele series by Joanne Patterson. Finding the Dream is a very sweet romance with some touching moments. Rebecca finds herself in new circumstances and things around her are changing rapidly, except her best friend. She seems to be doing well in her career, but then life turns upside down . Major decisions have to be made, and well, the path isn’t straight. The characters are intense and well rounded. The plot is interesting. I overall enjoyed this sweet romance.

Anton, a famous actor is finally proposing to his love Elsa. Everything seems to be working out just as they hoped, Anton is continuing his acting career and Elsa is a well known real estate agent in New York. Anton and Elsa’s story takes a curveball I kind of expected from the warning about some experiences in the story might trigger some readers. To be honest, I was somewhat surprised to find myself tearing up as I read portions of this book. I think the author did a wonderful job of showing some difficult situations couples find themselves in when life doesn’t exactly go how you planned or prayed for it. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed this and thought the story was excellent! This is the third book in a series and I’m hoping to eventually get to the first two at some point. I’m really into westerns right now and I loved the western setting. It was a cute love story with some twists and unexpected obstacles thrown at her, but she handled it well! I highly recommend for anyone looking for romance and who’s into westerns!

This is by far one of my Favorite authors. I want to thank you for such an amazing series and what an ending it was! Tasha and Levi are the Paranormal Romance everyone needs with all their love and devotion for themselves as well as their family and friends. I was so glad to see Kimber had a highlight! She’s one of my favorite sideliners like Radar! That man is a whiz!! I hope there’s a mini series on them! If you are looking for a great romance with a lot to persevere through to keep it, then this is your series!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forbidden Moon is the third book in the Shadow Chronicles series. It’s definitely worth reading this series from the start to get to know the characters and context for this fast-paced story.
Wow. This is a fantastic, exciting book! It’s got vampires, werewolves, witches and more. It’s got myths and prophecies and so much magic. It’s a real page-turner that I couldn’t put down. And a perfect story to read during the January Wolf Moon.
The narrative mainly switches between Tasha and Levi’s perspective. This is particularly effective where they are both trying to make decisions to protect each other and you can see how there’s just no way either of them will keep the other out of trouble!
There were a few points where I felt like things were moving a bit too quickly for me to keep track of, but I was able to flick back a few pages and reorient myself. Definitely a book that you want to be giving your full attention!
This book gets five stars from me! I would recommend it to fans of modern fantasy series (if you’re a recovering Twihard you’ll probably love this). And start with book 1, Forbidden Wolf, if you haven’t already read it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

And we’re back to wrap up Becky’s story. I have mixed feelings about Rebecca Steele Living the Dream. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing.
We still have the past of Johnny Munroe still lingering around as Chance & Becky begin their lives as man and wife. There’s also Chance’s past with his daughter’s mom Carrie. Baggage on both sides. Which leads to some ups and downs on both sides. Once tragedy strikes it’s all about how they rise up and go on with life.
I don’t want to give much away so I’ll say this: If you stumbled across this book as I have, you should start back at book 1. Get the entire backstory, not that it couldn’t be a standalone novel, however some things will make more sense. Enjoy!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Such a sweet story! Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream was very good. With ups, downs, highs and lows it’s everything you could ask for in a book.
Becky Steele, on the cusp of starting her country music career while in her 40s, picks the one song that reminds her of past love with Johnny Munroe to launch it. Besides all that she also competes in barrel racing at the rodeo where she meets Chance(Adam Mason). After a scary accident she loses most of her memory of her 20s & 30s, but is assured it’ll come back in time.
Romance is in the air between Chance & Becky with Johnny looming in the shadows.
With sadness, love, happiness, and drama this story does not disappoint as Becky navigates a new road in life while leaving an old road behind. Well minus her best friend Emily, who will always be along for the ride.
I look forward to reading book 3, more than I was to reading this book because of the time jumps in book 1. Don’t let that deter you because I’m glad I did. It was worth it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Con Quest was a great beginners guide on how to sell at cons. While the book focuses on selling books the principles mentioned in this book would work for any item you’re selling at a con. The book also mentions the networking involved that happens before, during, and after cons. If I ever decide to open a venture that would have me running a booth and making sales at a con you can bet that this book will be tagging along to help me with its tips and tricks on the trade. For instance she mentions the benefits of your booth neighbors and even some of the benefits of being friendly to security and staff.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was excited to read this third and final book in the ‘Rebecca Steele’ series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was great being back with the wonderful Becky and to be fully immersed in her world again. I would recommend reading the previous books in the series, not just because they are a fab read, but because this continues her story. As usual I felt engaged with Becky who is such a likeable and relatable strong main character, and it was nice that her daughter Cassie took a more prominent part in the storyline. Although Becky is enjoying her life on the country music stage, when she faces some adverse conditions, once again she needs her strength, resolve, attitude and faith to see her through. As well as her old friends turning up in the story the author also keeps things interesting with some new faces. The exciting storyline and plot twists kept me hooked from start to finish and I just couldn’t stop reading. I’m disappointed that this is the last book in the series and I will miss Rebecca Steele, but this was definitely a good send off for her.

Levi and Tasha are back and they are still fighting for their lives, as well as for the lives of their families and friends, as the hellspawn continue to attack their military bases, the vampires and the lycans are putting aside their differences and the allied forces they have created together finally believe they can work together and a truce has been called between the two races. Meanwhile, the hellspawn are becoming stronger and more daring in their attacks, but the allied forces weaponry is advancing at a much faster pace, albeit everyone is on edge and exhausted, they continue their fight against the swarming darkness.

As the battles continue, Tasha is looking into the history of their races to try and figure out their origins and why she has the magical powers within her, this is all while studies are being made into the different breeds of hellspawn and what makes them so strong, as well as unravel the mysteries as to why they are determined to destroy the two mates. On one of their information gathering excursions something goes awry and nearly destroys the bond between them, however, as they frolic under the light of the full moon and relive an encounter from their past in the most passionate way possible, an ancient power returns and a truth is revealed which may just be the key to their survival.

Despite this, the danger surrounding them doesn’t lessen as they recover from one shock after another a new kind of hellspawn emerges and as they attempt to break the connection between Tasha and Levi it just makes them more determined to find each other again, but will they come together in time to stop the Hellspawn plans for domination, or will the world as they know it come to an end? This is a paranormal romance with plenty of action and adventure to keep you hooked as two opposing species come together to fight an intolerable evil which preys on all without discrimination in this addictive fantasy adventure.

This book is chock full of information for authors on how to sell at geek and nerd cons. The author shares her wisdom on everything she knows about how to sell your book successfully. Her knowledge stems from years of experience selling at cons and she includes personal stories of learning experiences from selling her books over the years. It includes tips on how to set up your table, how much inventory to bring, and how to pitch your book to potential buyers. It even includes pictures!

I loved how this book was laid out and found it very easy to read. It was informative and packed full of information. The author clearly knows her stuff and has gained her knowledge from her own personal experience. I highly recommend this book to anybody who is considering selling their books at geek and nerd cons.

This is book three of this series by this author. This one was just as good as the previous two books in my opinion. This author is such a great writer. I love her visualization process and how it has progressed throughout each book. These characters are fantastic. I feel like they are my own friends and family just living in a different state. That’s how real this series has been to me. As with the previous two books I couldn’t put this one down and was gripping the edge of my seat throughout several chapters. While I was hoping the author would continue with this series I think she did a wonderful job closing the chapter and ending it. However, I do hope that maybe she will change her mind and perhaps do a spin-off at some point in the future. I highly recommend this for anyone that loves “western” themed stories. If you like the show “Yellowstone” you will like this series.

This is the third and final book in the series and I was looking forward to seeing how Becky and Chances life panned out as I had really enjoyed the previous book.
For the first half of the book I was really enjoying being back in Becky and Chance’s world. Then came the twists and I was like “WHAT?” No Way!! I won’t mention what the twists were as I won’t give spoilers but I have to say that I really didn’t enjoy the book after that. It totally spoilt it for me.
I have read a lot of other reviews and almost everyone is raving about how good the book is, so I guess I’m out on my own but I really didn’t like the direction that the book took from this point.
I will say that the book is very well written and the author does a great job of writing great characters, so it’s not all bad and I did love the first half of the book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This whole series has really hit me in the feels and has grabbed my attention to the point where I finished most of these three novels within the course of two weeks. Tasha and Levi’s family are all together, fighting the evil that has descended upon them to protect what’s theirs, and what will continue the legacy of these fated mates, or as I like to think of them, these star-crossed lovers. The world did seem to be against them, with every turn, but as these strong individuals came together, true love conquers all, or at least, that’s what we hope for with this lovely finale of a fantastic series.

I was on the edge of my seat, laughing as the Tasha and Levi bickered, only to make up in very hot scenes, cringing whilst these species fight together against the greater evil, and my heart swelled as this adventure came to a close. I love how the author included many of the supporting characters to give them a chance to shine and prove that it takes a village for so many things to prosper. Can’t wait to read more by this author and have recommended these novels to many. Well done!

Shake Loose the Border (Thunder on the Moor Book 3) by Andrea Matthews. This book was sooo good. Its a time traveling, paranormal romance. Its the story of Maggie and Will who are getting married soon. One day they find Johnnie Hetherington’s body tied to a tree on their property. Of course the police question Will and his family though its pretty obvious that they didn’t do it. It is decided the Wedding can proceed but shortly after the other Clan attacks them sending Maggie going back to another time to be safe. Will finds himself in trouble again and its going to take everything Dylan has to save him. The Scottish time seems so beautiful and I truly felt like I was there. I really believe this can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading them in order to truly understand all that’s going on. Will Dylan be able to save Will or will he end up losing everything? Read this amazing paranormal, time traveling romance!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

While I still enjoyed this last installment of the series, I, unfortunately, did not enjoy it as much as the first 2 books. I feel that Tasha’s character had started to become a little too perfect and even less interesting. A lot of her developments and strengths over other characters just didn’t make sense. I, once again found myself wishing that there was more Levi. Even though he has a good amount of chapters, he brings balance. He is a much more mature character. Tasha is exactly the same as her book 1 young adult self. Despite being a mother and older she only grows in abilities but not maturity.

There were also plot points that seemed important but then dropped. I also feel like a lot of what balanced Tasha and Levi was lost with the development of the characters in the end. I get what the author was trying to do but there is a beauty to the characters remaining what they are and being different from one another. They had already incorporated quite a bit of each other’s abilities in themselves, which was great. It felt like it negated the whole idea that they were the only ones who accepted each other for who they were. On the other hand, I was surprised at how I liked the witches. I also absolutely loved seeing more Dominic. I hope that the author gives him a series of his own. It would be awesome to see a romance with Charlotte and have Levi and Tasha come back as supporting characters in that one. All of that being said, I still enjoyed this book a lot.

Wow! Forbidden Mate is even better than book 1! This book sees Tasha and Levi’s fight against their detractors continue. There’s more of everything. More action and more sweetness and love between Tasha and Levi. I love that they are an unquestionable unit here. They have faith in each other and their love. Tasha’s story with Castus takes center stage and it’s a doozy. I felt all of Tasha’s anguish and fear as well as her relief and love. I loved getting to see her parents, especially her dad, step up to protect her. Caine made me stand up and cheer. I am so glad there was more to him than Tasha initially thought. I loved the resolve to her saga with Castus. It was very cathartic. I especially enjoyed seeing Levi’s protection, love, and worry. I can’t get enough of this series.
