This series deserves every award it gets!I loved every book and this is the last and it makes me sooooo sad. I want to be able to read all the books again like they are brand new to me. The stories will hook you from the very beginning and each will make you crave the next book.
Grace has a journey she needs to go through. She needs to heal but some will let her go, some will betray her, and some will just love her. This book was the master to the end of this series. I don’t want to give anything away but its one of those books that needs be begin without the knowledge of what happened just so you can feel the journey.
This book and series were EVERYTHING. Everyone needs this soul shattering series in their life!

Surviving Grace is the fifth and final book in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. This novella brings the whole series together and should not be read as a standalone. This book like the rest of the series is well written and grabbed my attention on the very first page. With this installment we learn about Grace and the things that happened to her in the past. This book is full of suspense, heartache, and heartwarming romance. I love how Ms. Wine brought back all of the characters from previous books. I highly recommend this book, series and author. I’m looking forward to reading more from Ms. Wine.

“I had my words to comfort me, my thoughts on paper. Pouring the black inky darkness onto the white sheets. Releasing them to the universe, a single slip of paper healing my broken past. Messy feelings visibly bared and unprotected for all to see. This was my story.”
Surviving Grace is the fifth and final book in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. This book is written with a lyrical, poetic style that really enhanced this story. The poetry between each chapter also helps to set the tone and mood for the whole book. As this is the fifth and final story in the series, I really recommend reading all the books so you have all the information you need to properly understand/follow and enjoy this book, at the very least you really need to have read book four, first. Surviving Grace is about family, friendship, trauma, betrayal, love, loss, trust, self-realization/self-discovery, and overcoming. There is plenty of drama, emotion, and romance. I had been waiting for this book to release, so I had quite a lot of expectation- but Ms. Wine didn’t let me down, finishing off the series with a very captivating read. This is ultimately Grace’s story, and we follow along as she slowly pieces herself back together and tries to move on with her life after the trauma she experienced. Things are not easy, especially with horrible memories haunting her nights and tormenting her days. Things are not easy for her, with lots of obstacles to deal with. So, what happens when the past catches up with her? Read this great story/series to find out. Ms. Wine has created a complex story, full of interconnected details. The characters are well developed- and the recurring characters from the series make appearances again in this book too. I was a little sad to finish the series, but Ms. Wine certainly left the best till last, in my eyes!

Surviving Grace by Virginia Wine is book five of the Surviving Series. This book is a novella and is written in a poetic format. This book should be read by readers 18+ due to the content and language.
Grace is a beautiful, strong woman that experienced a lot of pain and devastation. There is quite a bit of suspense as you wait to see how Grace’s future will play out. I couldn’t put the book down. There is so much emotion in this book you can’t help but feel a sliver of what Grace must have been feeling. She is such a great character. She is so strong and didn’t let herself get beat down even though at times she didn’t think highly of herself.
This was a great book. It was interesting to read it in poetic format. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it when I first started it but once I got use to it, it was really good. I definitely recommend this whole series!

Surviving Grace: Book Five (Surviving Series) by Virginia Wine is a contemporary romantic suspense. This story was creative and a fabulous addition to the Surviving Series. The way the characters from the previous stories were brought together in this book, along with the emotional stance this story takes makes it riveting! The journey that Grace has to embark upon in this story as she attempts to live her life while also surpassing her past were well written. I found the style of this book was a pleasant change of pace. Overall, this series was excellent with each story tying into the theme of the series.

Surviving Grace by Virginia Wine is the fifth book in the Surviving series. This book cannot be read as a stand-alone, it does need to be read in order. This novella is the last one in the series and what a way to end. I absolutely loved the poetry in the book and the emotional depth that it brought to the whole story. You were instantly immersed in the characters and their story. Grace is one of those characters you are just drawn to. I wanted to read more about her and I wanted her to find her way. This has been such a great series overall. I have enjoyed every moment, this book being no exception. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone.

Surviving Grace is the 5th and final installment in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. This final installment is not a full length novel whereas the first 4 are. Also, whereas the first 4 books can be read as a stand-alone, you need to read the 4th book, Hard As Steel before reading this novella. As this is such a fantastic series, I would recommend reading all 5 books, preferably in order as characters reoccur in subsequent books. If you read them out of order there would be spoilers. We are first introduced to Grace in Hard As Steel (Steel and Nichole’s story), where she has been the victim of a sadistic abuser. Through therapy and her love of writing, Grace is slowly coming to terms with the years of abuse that she suffered. She is however still very mentally fragile. We are also introduced to Will in Hard as Steel. He is the vain, cocky, player, immature brother of Nichole. He is exactly the type of man who Grace should avoid, but as circumstances mean that she is living with Nichole and Will, she can hardly avoid him. However, as they spend more and more time together, Grace starts to see a different side of Will that no one has seen before. Deep down, he is a very caring, gentle man who will do anything to help Grace overcome the demons from her past. I also loved that we got to see a little insight into each of the couples from the previous books. What I didn’t like is that this series has come to an end. This series has had me gripped from the very beginning right through to the end. It is certainly a series that I will revisit and read again.

Surviving Grace is an amazing story that takes tragedy and learning from it. Virginia Wine has become an author that I enjoy reading. Ms. Wine really takes her characters to a new level. She involves her past characters that were in earlier books and gives us a snapshot of what has been going on in their lives with in the later stories. This story is about Grace. This story tugs at my heart strings. The emotions run high. I suggest a box of Kleenex and plan out some time so you can finish the story in one sitting. Grace has a brutal past that she is learning about. She understands that she needs to deal with the past before she can move forward. Will Grace allow time to heal her soul or will she be overcome by the darkness she is learning about?

5 Star Surviving Grace: Book 5 (Surviving Series ) by Virginia Wine is the fifth book in the Surviving Series and a series I will definitely be rereading later on. I was instantly hooked from the beginning and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I was dying to know what happens next. I’ve truly enjoyed this series and recommend if you haven’t read the first four books to go read them as well. This story had me not only turning the pages fast but I also felt like I was on a emotional rollercoaster ride at times. I love how the characters are very well developed. The detail this author uses is amazing. Grace has a dark past that leaves her feeling broken at times but she’s pretty strong and doesn’t let that get her down. Find out what is in store for her future. What a great ending to this series. I can’t recommend not only this entire series, but this author, enough. She’s quickly climbed to the top of my list. Can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Surviving Grace (Surviving Series Book 5) by Virginia Wine
5-stars
Surviving Grace is another 5-star read by the incredibly talented author Virginia Wine! This novella is the fifth book in the Surviving Series, a series that cannot be read as a standalone as each new book closely follows the previous.
After reading the 4th book and being haunted by Grace’s story I couldn’t wait to dive into this one, and I was certainly not disappointed. I loved being able to follow Grace, she had so much courage and strength and really is unlike any other.
This is a series I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for their next suspenseful romance reads!

Surviving Grace is another incredible addition to this already captivating and epic series. But sadly, it’s the last in The Surviving Series, and May I say the best. This book has to be read as part of the series and not as a stand-alone, it flows brilliantly from the start and ties up all the characters from the previous books in this series, but to make it even better we get Grace’s story. This is a emotional read from the beginning and is expressed more with the poetry that’s in it. This is Grace’s story about finding yourself, learning to trust and to try and live her life again and get away from her past.
This book is brilliantly written, it has depth, it flows from chapter to chapter and brings us amazing characters and storyline. I’m so glad that I got to experience this series, with wonderful characters and amazing storylines. I cannot wait to see what else this author can bring us! I will eagerly be awaiting her next read!

The last installment of the Surviving Series follows Grace as she works at reclaiming her life back. Moving in with Nichole and her brother, Will, changes things for Grace and the direction her life is taking. As she makes peace with her past and looks to a possible future with Will, her parents have the potential to put it in jeopardy. I felt the drama with her parents was very rushed and could have played a bigger part in the story. All the characters from the other books come together towards the end of the book, which is nice to see where everyone ended up. Great way to end the series.

Surviving Grace: Book Five (Surviving Series) By: Virginia Wine 5 out of 5 stars
The story Surviving Grace: Book Five (Surviving Series) by Virginia Wine is a romantic suspense book. It is a story that drew me in from the very beginning. I have truly enjoyed reading the first four books in the series and this the fifth one was just as wonderful. This is a story that is emotional. There are heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. My emotions went up and down the entire time I was reading it. I enjoyed reading about Grace. She is a beautiful and strong woman. While the darkness of her past has her feeling broken at times, she has an inner strength that just won’t die. It is sad at times to read how she feels and how she sees herself. Grace is a character that I have grown to love since I first read about her. My heart went out to her and she is someone that I only wished happiness for. She is a character that you just want to embrace. Read this book to find out what the future has in store for her. There are times when I wondered what was going to happen next. The suspense had me turning pages. I also enjoyed reading about the characters that have been brought forward from the previous books. You get a feeling of family when they are together as they banter/interact with each other and Grace. There are romantic and steamy moments in this story. The story has a smooth flow to it and doesn’t let you go until you have read the last page. Don’t miss out on the latest amazing story sure to win over your heart. It is a book I highly recommend reading.

This series. No words. The author has done a beautiful job weaving intrigue, suspense, drama, and romance together to create the universe in these pages. This last installment stays true to the tone set by the stories before it. I found myself once again immersed and neck deep in the story before I even realized I’d turned the first page. This page turner is highly recommended!

Surviving Grace was an emotional 5 star read and book five in the Surviving Series. This is such a great must read series, I was sad to see it coming to an end.
I needed closure, somehow to erase the darkness from my past.
Grace is working on getting over her trauma, she is taking one day at a time. It’s not easy for her but she’s working on it. When things go in a different direction with Elijah, Will takes his chances with Grace. He has had feelings for her but was holding back how he felt, until now. I really liked Will he was so loving and understanding, he is perfect for Grace.
My emotions were all over the place with this book but I was so happy to see Grace get her HEA. There are some twist and turns, and some betrayal that adds a great element to the story. All of the secondary characters were great. Virginia Wine does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing. Each book in the series can be read as a stand alone, but I suggest reading them in order.

Hard as Steel is the fourth book in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine. The love and suspense start off at the beginning and don’t stop.
This was one of those books I had a very hard time putting down. I even laid in bed reading it with a migraine just to avoid putting it down.
I’ve had a crush on Steel since we first met him in the second book and the crush has grown to point that I might be in love. He is a take control guy who knows what he wants. Totally swoon worthy.
This was just a great story overall and I’m ready to read the fifth and I’m guessing final book. I really hope we get more of Will’s story and hope he ended up where he is now.

This book is just as good if not better than the previous books. One of my favorite things that an author does with a series is when we get to see what happens to characters from previous books which is what this author has done in this one. In this book we get to see Grace’s story. Grace is trying to move forward from her tragic past but what will happen when her past comes to her present? She is a strong, determined character, she is my favorite. I highly recommend this book.

After Grace’s traumatic attack and escape left her with no memory. Pieces began to reveal themselves, but to her horror the nightmares were real. Breaking free of her brutal past, and learning to cope with the vivid memories that haunt her every waking hour.
Adrift, Grace follows a beautiful but troubled future. Her secrets on paper, her pain exposed. Her life displayed and subjected for all to see. Baring her soul, writing her words, yet protecting her fragile heart that beats in rhythm with her broken spirit.
But it all threatens to fall apart when her dark past catches up with her present. Grace knew that digging into her past was the only path to find her future.
Bringing all the original characters together for the final installation in book five. Discover what has happened between the pages, between the couples who have captured your heart in the series.

Hard as Steel (Surviving Series Book 4) by Virginia Wine
5-stars
Hard as Steel is a truly phenomenal read! It’s the fourth book in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine and my favorite of the series so far. I would suggest reading this series in order and not as a standalone. Form the very beginning Steel was my favorite, he was mysterious, powerful, successful and always brooding and I couldn’t wait to dive into his story!
Steel’s story is intense, action-packed, twisted, emotional and heart wrenching. I read it in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to put it down. I was so intrigued by Grace’s case and I couldn’t wait to find out what happened, and not once did I see that ending coming, which made it so entertaining! I would absolutely recommend this series to others!

Hard as Steel by Virginia Wine is book four of the Surviving series. This series should be read in order to get the full story. Many of the characters are ongoing and overlap from previous books. This book is intended for readers 18+ due to some content. This book has quite a bit of suspense, I found myself reading quicker just to see what would happen.
Steel Archer is like the ultimate alpha. He protects what matters to him and those he cares for. He’s the strong, silent, independent type. Steel has walls around his heart but he may have met his match in Nicole Lancaster. That is until he works a job that has him helping Grace. Grace is a lost soul and romance may not be in the picture for her in the near future. Who will be Steel’s match?
There is so much emotion in this book. It is written so well you can’t help but feel what the characters feel. I can’t wait to see what the rest of this series holds.

Hard as Steel is the fourth book in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. I would highly recommend this series be read in order because of recurring characters and backstory will help you see the bigger picture. This romantic suspense will keep you on the edge of your sheet from beginning to end. Steel Archer is such a strong, dominating character who show a caring side for those close to him. Virginia Wine has done a wonderful job with this book, and I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Hard As Steel is the 4th instalment in the awesome Surviving series by Virginia Wine. Each book can be read as a stand-alone. As characters from previous books make an appearance in subsequent books and the fact that this series is so damn good, I would recommend that you read all the books in the series, and in order, to get the most enjoyment from the series. In Hard As Steel we get the story of ex-army, now member of PI Securities Steel Archer and FBI agent Nichole Lancaster. We are introduced to these 2 characters in a previous book and you always knew that if they got their own book it would be hot and fiery, and by God it certainly lived up to my expectations. As well as the fiery budding romance between the 2, this book has so much going on. There is a very detailed and intricate plot that will keep you gripped. This book pretty much has it all, it’s a hard hitting story with a great deal of intrigue and suspense and you won’t want to put it down. In this book we are introduced to Grace, a beautiful young woman with a harrowing story to tell. The next, and final, book in this series will concentrate more on Grace’s story and I can’t wait to read it.

Hard as Steel was a great 5 star read and book four in the Surviving Series.
I was pulled in right from the beginning, my heart when out to the poor girl that Steel finds. He calls in Nick to help. They call the mystery girl Grace for now until they can find out who she is. The things this poor girl endured just breaks your heart.
What story could be told from my injuries, in some twisted way the cuts and bruises may indeed be my salvation.
Steel works for PI Securities and is ex military. Nichole (Nick) is an FBI agent. Nick and Steel work together to try and find out where Grace came from and who was behind all of the abuse. Steel and Nick also have quite the attraction between them. They are both really strong characters but when they finally give into their attraction we get some very hot and steamy moments.
Will Steel and Nick find out who hurt Grace?
There is romance, suspense and so much more. Be prepared for some twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going on. Virginia Wine does a great job with her writing, you feel everything that the characters are going through and I loved it. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started today on this great series.

This series literally gets better with each book! Hard as Steel follows Steel and Nick as they navigate a case and their budding attraction for each other. Grace is a young girl that has managed to escape from horrors but has no memory of what happened to her. Running into Steel was a stroke of luck on her part as him and his partner Flynn stop at nothing to help her. This book has the drama and the action that seem to define Viriginia Wine’s books. She has quickly become a favorite author of mine.

This is one of those series that seriously consume me! From the very first book, this series is one that everyone needs to one click right away!
I loved Steel Archer! He’s one of those male characters that will do anything and everything for those he loves! Then we have Nicole Lancaster who is an FBI agent and used to men in the world of her work. The chemistry is intense between these two and the story is UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE!!!
This story is definitely dark and has its twists and turns. I love a book that keeps you guessing. These two had their work cut out for them but they’re story was phenomenal! Everyone needs this series!

I had the pleasure of reading Hard as Steel by Virginia Wine. I have to say that I’ve enjoyed working my way through the Surviving Series, and couldn’t help but be excited when I started Hard as Steel. The author never ceases to amaze with her writing style and character development. I couldn’t help myself but fall for these characters, and loved watching grow as individuals. I loved everything about this book, and can honestly say that it was a 4 Star Book for me.

Content warning: Contains adult content, language, and scenes that may not be suitable for all audiences.
Hard as Steel is the book four in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine and this book is not a read alone story as the characters do carry from the previous books. I love the way Ms. Wine writes her characters as if they are my friends in real life. I was pulled into this story from the first paragraph until the last word. Hard as Steel has some adult content that may not be for everyone and I found myself having some trouble getting through a couple of scenes but I am glad I did not give up. On the other hand there is some good times as well, there is mystery, love, comedy, suspense and romance. I recommend reading this story especially if you have read the other books.

In the dark where monsters live, a dark story flourishes to life, born of wicked intent and evil power.
A warning of sorts, sinister actions threaten the innocent and rob them of their virtue.
Steel Archer, with his commanding charisma and keen focus captivated his platoon. He had been to battle and tasted the sand of the desert war. No one understood, how could they? The adrenaline buzz, the anticipation, the planning and preparation that came with each mission fed his mind, body, and soul. It was addicting until it all went wrong, men died. His men.
But now that was all behind him. PI- Securities firm was where he landed and his reputation for questionable methods of persuasion, worked to his advantage.
“I’d been told I had a calm about me. But don’t be fooled, undermining my power would be foolish. I saw myself as a wild predator who lived life on the razors edge.”
His good looks and intensity rolling off in waves. Years of training banishing any trace of emotion. Every muscle in his body instinctively warning him, like a sixth sense of what’s to come. Foreseeing the enemy’s next move is far more primal, instinctive, and raw than most believe.
“There’s never been room for a life outside my profession. Certainly not a woman, that’s a liability I can’t afford to indulge in. “
Virginia Wine’s love for books all began as a book-blogger, dedicating her time and passion to talented authors, assisting and reviewing the world’s top writers.
A voracious reader herself, and insatiable appreciation for the book world. She soon discovered her own passion for writing, and knack for storytelling. Writing what she loves to read, the romantic suspense genre was a perfect fit. Dreaming of new ways to tug her readers heart strings, and creating scorching hot love scenes fed the thrill for inventing new stories. Only just begun, she came out of the gate with a blast, delivering the Amazon best-selling Author with her first book, then again with her second series. Midwestern born Virginia Wine can be found living in paradise, on a beautiful lake where she and her family enjoy the water, and peace living amongst a small-town feel.
