My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh well this was refreshing.
This was an easy read so entertaining.
I loved the plot to this story the suspense and romance was amazingly written.
I loved the character development that it’s a future story.
This should be a standalone because even though it had the same story line and characters as the rest of the series this seemed more like a past story then six weeks later.
This wasn’t as good as book four or three but this author has a way with words.
It’s great to know that the story goes on with the main character.
I really enjoyed this overall.

I love a book that you are new to the author and you fall in love with the first book you read and are already hooked! This story has different elements….. family, suspense, mystery, fame, family but with a twist of paranormal wrapped in. Bella and Miles run a Music business and are very successful along with raising their family. Love is tested in this story…and we learn Miles also has a “gift” that is also passed down to their children. Can Miles and Bella’s love survive? Definitely read to find out.

I know I definitely want to go back now and read the series from the beginning. What a great book!

Face the Fire: A Romantic Paranormal Suspense Novel (Moore Family Saga #5) by Michele Sims

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. This is actually the second book I’ve read in the Moore Family Saga. Face the Fire is the fifth book in the Moore Family Saga.

Miles is the head of AriMusic and the father to twins. He’s got a special condition that he’s passed down to his kids. When he learns how far The Network is in his life it bugs him. The quote I chose for Miles is: “Our business is a family business and I need to be there. Bradley, I need to see for myself what trouble Pharaoh has gotten himself into.”

Bella is Chief of Marketing for AriMusic and the wife of Miles. She is scared when she learns that the twins have his special condition. Then she is scared that her and her mother are falling apart. The quote I chose for Bella is: “I’m sorry I slapped you. I came to remind you about your interview later today with WCAL. They’ve given your song a lot of airtime, and we need to make sure they know how much we appreciate their role in making the song a success.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Suspense lovers.

Must read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We take a step forward from Cade and Lecia to dive into Miles’ life- his career of following in his father’s footsteps when Mile’s studio hires a new marketing manager; someone completely opposite of what he normally looks for in a woman. While the author’s first two books have a lot of spice in them, this is a nice, slow burn of a romance. It was interesting to see Miles’ all grown up, and to see him find a love like his parents.

Cade is back on stage in the second book of this series, on tour with his wife and his son. Lecia returns home, and suddenly Miles falls ill, resulting in the unexpected return of Cade to their home in North Carolina. The author did a good job with this sequel. It has a lot of twists and turns, and there’s a big moment that’s hard to see coming. Taking place about 8 years after the first, she does a good job of pulling the audience back into the Moore family story.

This book was the first book I’ve read from this author, and it wasn’t bad. It was pretty good, and started to delve into the story of newly-weds Kaiden and Lecia, as they find out that Lecia is pregnant from the honeymoon. Through the stress of their careers, and of the tragedy around them, they struggle to find ways to hold on to each other. In the end, their family is happy, and everything is as it should be.

The latest installment of the Moore Family Saga has us watch as Miles and Bella juggle life with their children. While the plot seems a bit slower, towards the end they are struck with an unexpected loss. The author has an articulate way of showing how people heal, which is one of the things I like about her writing. I wonder what she has in store for the rest of the series!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I don’t know how to feel about this book.
It wasn’t the best but it wasn’t the worst.
The plot was good but it was all steam not much build or burn.
Now I have never DNF’d a book and I am determined not to ….this almost got it.
Maybe because I’m a mood reader the characters didn’t catch me but I enjoyed the story itself.
This was a love hate type of book and the fact it’s a series had me determined to finish and again I just don’t know how to feel.
It just seemed a bit chaotic.
This gave great tension but I lost my place a lot trying to figure out if I missed something.
Warning it’s third person. That is not for me.
I would recommend this for smut, for good story no.
This fell flat for me.
I am sorry, I am going to reread this soon maybe I just wasn’t in the mood.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While it took me a long while to get into this one, Michele Sims did deliver with good character building and great attention to detail. I believe that I would have grasped this book a little better had I read the previous books in the Moore Family Saga, although the information states it can be read as a standalone. I just felt like I was missing some crucial information when I read Face the Fire. I did enjoy the elements included that involved the ups and downs of managing various artists in the music business. It seems like a business that very few are truly cut out for. Couple those ups and downs with the paranormal aspect in the lives of Miles and Bella and you have a pretty entertaining book. Although this was not a favorite of mine, it was still a good story and I look forward to reading more from Michele Sims.

Wildcat (MetroGen After Hours, #1)Wildcat by Carina Alyce
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has romantic suspense as well as sports. The author does a good job of mixing these two and makes a great sports romance.

She isn’t seeking for Mr. Forever; she is looking for Mr. Right Now. Everything changes when she brings her city’s star football player home, and he begged for more. There’s so much more Leslie McClunis didn’t give up ballet to pursue a career in firefighting because she was told she’d be more successful if she behaved more ‘feminine.’ She’s entitled to curse like a male and toss her one-night stands to the curb in the morning like a guy, in her opinion. As football’s biggest and baddest defensive end, Trevor Hampton isn’t used to being shown the door. He doesn’t like to lose, therefore he wants Leslie for longer than a night. Nothing is going to stop him from getting his hands on his very own firefighting wildcat. Not even a thief of his football team.

I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read the rest of her books.

This is the fifth book in the Moore Family Saga. I have never read the previous books but boy do I plan to. Who doesn’t like a story of deep love, the importance of family, and the ins and outs of the music industry and the ability of having special secret powers? You instantly get swept up into this story and are yearning to keep reading because you just need to know what is going to happen. There are twists and turns in every chapter. Definitely a page turner and must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Born in Darkness tells the story of Stefano Rossi and Emiliana Vitale. Emiliana has some serious trauma in her past, in no small part because of human trafficking. Stefano has trauma of his own to try and heal from, both from rescuing Emiliana years before, and the hell that was his childhood. The two have been friends since childhood, but both have always wanted more. Stefano keeps Em at arm’s length to try and protect her from the monster that is his own father. Em is afraid that some wounds may never truly heal from her past, though she is more than willing to try and find out. While the pair, and the other bosses and their significant others, try to figure out where the rat in the family is, they must work together and be very careful, and think five steps ahead of their enemies to try and save themselves, their friends and family, and everything they’ve ever known. This book has just the right amount of suspense, romance, intrigue and twists to keep you guessing until the reveals.

The 3rd book in the mafia elite series but can be read as a standalone.

Stefano and Emiliana have been in love with each other for years but due to the ruthless nature of Stefano’s father and mafia boss, they can’t act on it. But when it becomes apparent that there is a rat in the family and Emiliana is in danger, things move real fast.

This is a slower burn than th authors other books but thoroughly enjoyable and always leaves you wanting more and anxiously waiting for the next installment.

While this was a new author to me, I personally look forward to reading more from this author. This story just blew me away, full of steamy details and emotions I just simply couldn’t put it down. But our author didn’t stop there this book is filled with everything a romance reader could ask for including angst, tensions, suspense, and of course drama. Leslie feels as a female firefighter she has to work twice as hard for everything she wants. Until a one nightstand with a football superstar, will it be a one night stand or will our Wildcat finally settle down? You’ll have to read this story to find our for yourself.

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blood Oath continues the Mafia Elite Series by Amy McKinley. This second book in the series is a worthy companion to the first installment. This series keeps getting hotter and keeps ratcheting up the suspense and the drama. I can’t wait to see where this series goes from here, but I have absolutely no doubt that it will be amazing from start to finish. In this book, we follow the story of Sofia La Rosa and Enzo Vitale. Two star crossed lovers worthy of another Italian couple. While their families aren’t at war with each other, arranged marriages and secrets threaten to keep our clandestine lovers apart. Through the many twists and turns that can only possibly found within the Mafia , from a blood oath undertaken during a terrifying event at very young age, this pair find a way back to each other at different points in their lives, and even find a way for their love to work, at least for a while. The biggest question of all, though, is will the secrets that Sofia holds and that Enzo is a part of keep them apart for goo While there is definitely more blood and guts in this book, there is also a truly impressive story being told and unfolded at just the right pace to keep you guessing and coming back for more. I truly cannot wait to pick up the next installment of this gripping series and see if I have correctly found the rat among these Mafia bosses and their families.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I haven’t read anything by this author previously, but after reading the synopsis it sounded like a quick, hot read. It really was, but I was pleasantly surprised by the story I became drawn into. While the timeframe is set in the 90s, the ideas presented of women in a “manly” job, interracial relationships, one night stands can still be considered very modern.

Leslie is a badass firefighter, putting up with being treated as though she is out of place, interested in a hot guy she just wants a quick fling with – to relieve a little stress. Trevor is on board and they have a hot night together – but both can’t stop thinking ofthe other. There are a lot of things that seem like they might not be able to tied together, but I really enjoyed this book. It was definitely a hot quick read, but not because there wasn’t a lot of story to get engrossed in. Looking forward to getting into more of this series.

This is book one of the series. I couldn’t put this book down!

Leslie is bold and unapologetic. She gave ballet up for firefighting and definitely feels she should be able to act like one of the guys as she sees fit. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t have to work hard for every bit of respect. After a one-night stand with Trevor, the last thing she wants or needs is a distraction. Trevor doesn’t want only one night with Leslie. He’s got a lot to focus on with football but he’s determined to get another chance with Leslie. Can they work it out between them or will they be too reluctant to distraction?

I enjoyed these characters. Leslie is tough and is such a great character. I wish I could be more like her!

This book is scorching hot and it sucked me right in from the very first page. I absolutely love how Leslie breaks the mold in so many ways. She isn’t afraid to take chances and go after what she wants in her personal life. She also works in a male dominated field and it’s horrifying the things those monsters put her through simply because she is a woman. Trevor is such a sweet, patient man. He doesn’t let her scare him away with all of the walls that she keeps throwing up and he loves to take care of her and show her that it doesn’t mean she’s weak if she leans on him sometimes. This book is full of heat, romance and danger and tackles misogyny. This is a definite must read and I’m so excited to read the next book in this series.

Leslie McClunis is a dedicated Firefighter trying hard to make her way in a male dominated profession made even more difficult when the men she is suppose to work along side and trust, don’t want her there and make their feelings known regularly. This element of the story made me so damn angry!
At a painting class she meets Trevor Hampton, who unknown to her is a defensive end for the Cleveland Browns. Leslie is keen for a one night stand but Trevor very soon decides he wants a whole lot more. Trevor is one determined man and he is out to see that Leslie, his strong independent pocket rocket becomes his and that she succeeds.

Wildcat is a fast paced Steamy Firefighter Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I absolutely loved this book and the characters are relatable and fully developed. This is a fairly new author to me but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what other books she has written. This is Leslie and Trevor’s story. She’s a Firefighter and he plays football. These two had one steamy night of passion and her normal is to send them packing. Can one night lead to more? Can they make a relationship work? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

3.5 Stars

 

Wildcat is the first book in the MetroGen After Hours series by Carina Alyce. I had not read any of this author’s work before, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect going in. But the blurb read well and intrigued me enough to want to buy a copy to explore. What I found was a great firefighter romance with hot and steamy details as well as emotion, humour, banter, angst, push-pull, tension, suspense, and drama.
Leslie McClunis feels she’s had to work twice as hard as the men in her field and has to prove herself every day. She works hard and plays harder, enjoying her independence. She definitely doesn’t want or need a relationship tying her down. Then she has a one-night-stand with a hot football star who has other ideas. Will he be the man who finally tames this wildcat? You will have to read the story to find out all the interesting and steamy details for yourself.
This is a very quick and easy read, with just under 200 pages I zipped through the story very quickly. I did enjoy the story as it is but would have loved to read a longer version with even more details and what is here already being more fleshed out.
I also learned that ‘wildcat’ isn’t only a term used to describe our main female character, it is also a football term used to describe a play (offensive)where the ball is snapped to a player other than the quarterback.
And now I will definitely be looking for the rest of this series to read
Happy reading!

Thank you, Carina Alyce!

Leslie is a firefighter and Trevor is a football player, both of them had no intentions of having a relationship. But….after a one night stand they both are having a hard time moving on.

Will they both let down their guard and try for something more?

I really loved these characters, Leslie was very independent and was like one of the guys. This is a great start to the new series. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

This is the first book in the MetroGen Downtown series. We meet Trevor and Leslie who have an amazing night of passion that is supposed to be a one-night stand. Leslie is working hard to prove herself as a woman firefighter. Trevor is a football player who isn’t used to being told no. I am a sucker for a strong female lead in any book, and I love Leslie. My partner is a wildland firefighter and I know firsthand that it isn’t an easy job and loving one can be even harder. To be a female and going through the same struggles, I couldn’t even imagine. Can Leslie let down her defenses just a little to let Trevor in? This was a read full of steamy romance that I couldn’t put down.
