The Daredevil (WaterFyre Rising Book 2) by Nadia Han – Review by Allison Davis

The Daredevil (WaterFyre Rising, #2)The Daredevil by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the WaterFyre series but can be read as a standalone.
TW: mentions of suicide, mentions of sex trafficking, murder attempts, eating disorder

Royce is a volcanologist that is chasing the next adrenaline high. Michelle is a travel blogger with some trauma. She calls it the monster in her closet.

The title of this book is so fitting, both main characters are daredevils in their own way. Royce needs to work through his trust and ability to open up to love. Michelle is fighting that monster in her closet which requires daily work. Together their chemistry is undeniable.

Friends to lovers, fake dating, forced proximity, fated moments <3, suspense, and action. What more could you want?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read by this author, and I was blown away at how quickly I read this book! I cannot wait to read the first book in this series, which thankfully these are ones that if you read them out of order, will not mess up what happens or the timeline in the series. In this book, these two people, Abi and Finn, are married at first sight on a reality tv show. The sparks between these two were palpable off of the page let alone between them. I could not read this book fast enough as they had a wonderful story that had conflict and that ultimately ended on a great note. I loved this romance book and cannot wait to read more of the books by this author and read the others in the series!

In this second book of the series, Tallie is searching for a missing girl but doing so might bring up secrets from Tallies past. While I believe it is possible to read this book as a standalone, having not read the first book, I did feel like I was missing a few details about Tallie and her past. Missing those few details however did not take away from the overall story of the second book nor did it hurt the relatability of the characters. The author did a tremendous job of building relationships between characters while also giving twists and turns that were unpredictable. Great story, looking forward to reading book and more in the series.

Revenge Never Rests starts right where Secrets Never Die ends.

The story follows her in gaining a better understanding of herself while trying to find out the mystery of who is taking previous military personnel.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Picking up from where book 1 leaves off, Tallie has discovered why she had so many skills geared towards disappearing and staying hidden. She has also discovered a passion for seeking out lost individuals to bring them home. One night, she gets an Amber Alert and is immediately on the hunt. Her quest for the missing girl leads to some painful truths and lessons regarding her family.

This novel focuses on Tallie discovering that her past appears to be linked to a set of disappearances that have remained unsolved, and now someone she just found existed is on that same list.

Loads of twists and turns, yet again from this author. Very well thought out plot, presented in an incredible way. Great characters and heart. Lots of mystery and suspense and some romance.

This story is amazing… Tallie Brown is by far my favorite character yet. She’s been through trying times and as a strong female lead character, she fights with everything she has. Despite all of the hard life she was forced to lead, she makes the best of what she’s got. She uses her talents for good and keeps going.

I love how involved the author is with her military knowledge and the way that she conveys the story. Her acknowledgements are also heartfelt and I appreciate it so much. She did an amazing job and I look forward to reading more of her work.

This was a book with constant twists and turns and so many surprises. Tallie Brown has finally learned who her real family is and is on a mission to meet the man that is her father when he goes missing. This is a fast paced page turner that instantly pulls you in. Each chapter follows and different characters perspective and it is very easy connecting with each one. I wasn’t expecting the ending but it made it all the more perfect.

The Daredevil: A Friends to Lovers Romance (WaterFyre Rising Book 2)

I found myself waking up in the middle of the night and spent about an hour reading so I could see what was happening. Definitely regretted that this morning. There is a little bit of everything. Mystery/suspense, friendship blooming and of course the mean girl.

Royce and Michelle are great individually and even better together, their dynamic is so electric which led to some pretty hot moments like the pool and waterfall. Wow!

There were so many little details that helped bring the story together for me. I was so happy with the healing and growth they both experienced on their journeys towards happiness.

I read the first book in this series and remember being impressed by the writing and how polished it was especially for her first release. I’m even more impressed now, there was no let down between the two books and as much as I enjoyed the last I think I liked Royce and Michelle more.

I’m so looking forward to the next books release. Can’t wait to see more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Revenge Never Rests is the second book in the Tallie Brown Suspense Series. I did read the first book so I felt that I had all the necessary backstory for this book. If you haven’t read the first book in the series (Secrets Never Die), I highly recommend doing so before diving into this one. Laurie Lewis continues Tallie’s story shortly after the events in the first book. There are several returning characters in this book and, again, Lewis delivers unusual yet realistic, humanized characters. This book follows Tallie in the search for her missing father, Cai Kaswell, along with several other missing persons. While this book has many twists and turns like the first book, I felt this one was a little faster paced, which I enjoyed. Overall, this book is on par, if not higher, than the first book! I look forward to reading more books by Laurie Lewis!

Tallie Brown has discovered that she is not who she was raised to believe she was. The woman who raised her taught her how to simply disappear. In this suspenseful book, Tallie must use all of her skills to figure out how people are disappearing never to be seen again. I was hooked from the very beginning.

5 Stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a new author to me and I can say….I LOVED this book!! This story was such a fun read and I devoured it in one sitting. I could not get enough of Abi and Finn.

Trying to save face, Finn agrees to participate in a TV Reality show and marry a complete stranger. Finn is such a ladies man and player for sure, but trying to help his own image he decides with hesitation to “marry” Abi. All Finn needs is 3 months…..

Abi is a hard worker with multi jobs trying to help her sister Eva and has no time for any dating or meeting new people. When Eva and Abi’s best friend, Ros, plan up to have Abi apply to be part of this new reality show, Abi is hesitant…but then decides what does she have to lose. Will she meet her Mr. Right….

Can I say I love Abi and Finn together, their attraction is sizzling, even at first Finn being hot and cold…trying to keep Abi at an arms length and not get to close…I was rooting for them from page 1. Such a great contemporary romance that gave me all the feels of romance, banter and sizzle… and I am totally looking forward to reading more from this author for sure!!

In a continuation from the first book in this series, the story brings us back to where it was left off from the first. Learning how strong of a woman Tallie is, despite her unusual and mysterious upbringing, she continues on her own mission in seeking the truth. As she recently discovers who her father, General Cai Kaswell, is considered missing and embarks on a journey to find him and get more questions answered.
Just as the first book, this book is such a great read and keeps you on your toes with action and mystery. Not only is the action and suspenseful aspects of the book amazing but the concept of friendship and valuing its integrity. Such a great series!

This is the second book I have read by Laurie Lewis and is the second book in the Tallie Brown Suspense. A continuation of the first book Secrets Never Die, following the loss of her mother and learning about the secrets that sent her on the run for most of her life.
I enjoyed this fast-paced suspense book! A lot of the stuff in this book felt like it was ripped from today’s headlines. The action and intrigue really drew me in, and I found it hard to put down. It’s a race against time as Tallie Brown is trying to find her father whom she recently discovered and is now missing. One of the biggest twists of the first book is that her mother Julia wasn’t her biological mother and kidnapped her. Despite the dubious circumstances in which she was raised. Tallie learns of a missing girl that she uses the skills she learned while on the run with her mother to help find not only the missing girl but all the missing people. Tallie can thank Julia for everything she taught her about tracking, self-defense, etc. as it comes in handy as the story progresses.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dear lord where do I start with this book? This was such an amazing book! It starts off as a simple way for a loving sister to help out with her family and for a Hollywood actors’ way to salvage his career from a mishap, when they’re thrown together in a marriage for reality TV, they’re both skeptical, you’d think that because Abi has never seen Finn in a movie so she’s not much of a crazed fan; He’d be happy and more receptive to the idea. But no, he is an enigma to her because she can’t get a read on him, one minute he’s a doting and loving husband and the next it’s like he’s repulsed by her, and she doesn’t understand what she did to him. For him she’s perfect… too perfect and is waiting for the bomb to drop and she uses him just like all of his ex’s but her real motives for agreeing to this crazy idea is much more important to her and when the walls start coming down, he doesn’t want to let her go. But she’s faced with a choice that she can’t see a good outcome regardless of what she chooses. Can they find a middle ground and compromise on the things that matter? Or will it all be for show?

This is the first book I have read by Laurie Lewis. The synopsis drew me in but from page one I was hooked. At first, I was very confused on what was going on and honestly thought I started the 2nd book first by mistake.
It begins in Julia’s point of view, her being in 2014 but still running and hiding from the secrets of her past in 1993. Her one thing that she thought she could do, raising a normal child as a fugitive, until her name starts getting flagged and she receives a call from her handler. After seven seemingly normal years everything comes back in a rush leaving Tallie all alone with the mystery of who her mother was.
What is the Mogadishu incident? What does Julia have to do with it? Why have they been on the run most of Tallies’ life? The world that the author builds submerge the reader in the world. Drawing you into the story and wanting to keep reading to learn the secrets that led to Julia’s death. I made it through this book in one day and can’t wait to start the second book, Revenge Never Rests, to see what happens next in Tallie Brown’s story.

As far as she can remember, she has moved from place to place and after her mother’s untimely death, around her 20s, she has found herself in the Pacific Northwest.

In the midst of changing a storyline, his path is led to Cutler’s Ridge, a failing Virginia coal town and ends up meeting Tallie. Both loners and led by untrustworthy pasts have intertwined their paths.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is set shortly after the first book in the series. A lot happens in the first book. To understand the characters better, read the first book before this one.

Tallie Brown is still grieving the loss of her mother as well as what will never be (the loss of her biological mother and sister) when she gets news that the father she cannot claim, Cai Kaswell, is missing she jumps at the chance to find him. Seeing as Tallie has a unique skill set, Major Norris knows that she will be a huge asset and welcomes her aboard. This mission brings Tallie into a bigger conspiracy than they thought. Not only is Cai missing, so are many others.

The clues bring the group to Mexico where Tallie is introduced to Burke, the agent on the case. Instantly Tallie does not trust him. She has to learn to work with him while trying to keep things from getting personal for her. Nothing is adding up and Tallie doesn’t know who to trust.

Memories of Tallie’s past with her mother keep her on her toes. She was raised to look at everything and trust no one but it’s hard when it’s your fathers life on the line.

She also has to overcome her feelings of not being good enough if she wants to keep her new found relationship alive.

This book was great. It sucks you in right from the beginning. Compared to the first book it is much more fast paced. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store next time.

This is book 2 in a series. I did not read book 1. While it was good as a stand alone, I think it would be better for the backstories to read book 1 first. In this book we meet Tallie. She is a strong woman character who is on the search for the answer to the disappearance of a missing girl and then of a General Kaswell. Jackson and Tallie have a strong connection and have to make a decision as to whether they should work together or separately. This happens just as she discovered who her real father is.
Throughout this story, there is intrigue, conspiracy and high action. It kept my attention and was a good read on a really long car ride over the holidays. If you like this type of genre, you would rate it much higher than a three.

What a fun read!!! This very talented author created a great storyline with such lovable characters that you just wanted to keep reading from the very first word. I am not much of a reality tv watcher myself but I loved reading this authors take on this type of show. She created such vividly described surroundings and events that you really left like you could see everyone and everything as it was happening. I loved the characters Finn and Abi right from the very start even if Finn was at times giving me as much whiplash as he was giving Abi! More than a few times I wanted to yell at them to just damn well talk to each other LOL. They totally captivated my heart! Even the side line characters had me wanting to know more about them. I am looking forward to more not only from this series but from this wonderful author in general.

Married Blind is a forced proximity contemporary romance tale. It is the second book in the Kings of Screen series but can be read as a standalone. I encourage you to start with the first book even though each book is about different characters who are sexy, steamy and spicy and let’s not forget British movie stars.
I enjoyed the push pull and sassiness between these characters Finn and Abi. Their story is told in dual POV which gives them so much more depth and understanding of them as people. It is my preferred method of storytelling.
The story is done in a reality show setting where sometimes it was hard to remember what reality is and what is not. Where there is a marriage of convenience a reality-TV husband and wife. Should be easy right? Wrong!
This story is a light hearted romance tale that is a quick read. If you want to know what happens then you will have to grab a copy to find out for yourself.
I look forward to reading more in the series.

This book is the second in a series. I did not read the first book, and I was able to follow along just fine. There was some struggle to get everyone straight, but nothing I wouldn’t have expected. My favorite part of this book was that it was clean and didn’t have the F word on every page. That was incredibly refreshing especially paired with a great story! Tallie Brown is a strong female character with completely relatable doubts and issues. I enjoyed hearing her thoughts and reservations. This book is worth the time to read. I look forward to reading more from this author!
