The Innovator (WaterFyre Rising Book 3) by Nadia Han – Review by Beverly Finnie

The Innovator (WaterFyre Rising Book 3)The Innovator by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series! Book 3 did not disappoint! The Innovator made me intrigued of what’s to come. There’s been drama, action, and romance in all the books so far, but it’s starting to peak in book 3. The author wrote a wonderful story about the romance of 2 people, but also the collective danger lurking in the wings for all the characters throughout these books.
Book 3 is Grayson and Natalie’s story. Which definitely didn’t start off on the best foot. They argued and got under each other’s skin, at the same time those arguments made them more interested in the other.
Natalie is in Providence trying to find out why her father died and why he left her a building. Under an alias she gets a job at the Department of Public Works and Parks to see if she can dig up any info she can on The Prism. Not that it led her to anything but Grayson.
Grayson is trying to get his Three Point Park Project off the ground. One problem he needs to get his hands on The Prism building. The other problem is a beautiful blonde(Natalie) who just gets under his skin but he loves to argue with.
It’s a constant game of cat and mouse between these two. Until a bet is placed between them. That bet goes hand and hand with their attraction to one another. But what happens when they end up at The Fortress together. A getaway retreat where they are the only two occupying the space.
Do they succumb to their desires?
What happens when Natalie is threatened by her ex? Does Grayson come to the rescue?
What about the never ending threats to Grayson and his friends?
They saw something when they were teenagers that could threaten their lives and of those they love even now. Can Natalie and Grayson weather that storm?
So much going on and so many questions that come to mind. I’ll reiterate that the author wrote a wonderful story. A story that could be read as a standalone novel because of the romance, however it’s not recommended due to the drama and action. These books are all connected. Each one may focus on a different set of characters but it also focuses on the group of guys as a whole. You will have so many more questions if you don’t start at the beginning. So it’s time. You need to either start this series, trust me you won’t regret it. Or it’s time to jump into book 3 because you read books 1 & 2. The decision is yours!

Obedience (Ties That Bind Book 1) by Liza Snow – Review by Shannen Kern

ObedienceObedience by Liza Snow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Obedience gripped me from the first page and never let go! I absolutely loved every bit of this adventure, and I’m planning on listening to the audiobook for an immersive experience. Trust me, after you read it, you will want all the different variations you can get. There is plenty of tension, especially in the first half of the book, but there is plenty of suspense and steam as well. Cassandra grew up watching and wanting a master aerialist named Chandler. What she didn’t know was that she would get the chance to fly with him…among other things. Chandler was always looking for someone he could relate to and teach his passion of performing acrobatics in the circus. When he finds exactly that in Cassandra, it takes him by surprise when he falls so deeply for her. Will they bend with the pressure, or will they break from their dark history? I can’t believe I have to wait another 6 months for book two because I am fiending for it already! I highly recommend picking this up and reading (or listening!) because it is absolutely amazing!

ObedienceObedience by Liza Snow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cassandra has wanted to perform with Cirque de Lys ever since she was a child and first saw her idol Chandler performing his aerialist routine. From that moment she vowed that she would do whatever it took to be a silk aerialist and join the circus. When Cassandra’s dreams come true, and Chandler becomes her mentor she realizes that she cannot live without him. Chandler soon realizes that Cassandra means more to him than just being one of his students. On the surface it seems that fate has brought them together but what they do not realize is that something far more sinister is at play. Their lives have become intertwined, and they both have demons from their past that they are trying to escape from. Can they shake the shackles of their dark pasts to have a bright future?

This is an interesting story about romance between a student and her mentor. The borderline obsession that Cassandra had for her childhood idol Chandler turns from admiration to passion, then to romance, and ultimately to love. The age gap between Cassandra and Chandler was interesting and did not seem plausible until many years had passed. The book took an interesting plot twist when it was discovered that there were sinister elements at play, and they were brought together for a reason. Danger and suspense lurk under the surface as both Cassandra and Chandler try to escape demons from their past. It seems they both have secrets they have been hiding from the other that could put their lives in danger. The book ends on a cliff-hanger which sets you up for the second book in the series. I cannot wait to follow the further adventures of Cassandra and Chandler to see what deep dark secrets they are hiding.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I should not be surprised at the varied and depths of emotions this author can evoke from me. But I find myself surprised again. The story keeps you involved from beginning until the end. Each mystery is part of the larger story that continues to build. The devotion from these childhood friends is the backbone for each guy. The growing SSG is a fantastic compliment to the guy group.

Natalie is trying to find out the truth behind the secrets surrounding her father’s death. She walks away from her posh lifestyle in Paris to re-establish herself as a municipal employee in Providence, the city that contains the answers she is looking for. She meets Grayson through normal business and decides that he is a jerk.

Grayson has been in a dark place ever since his uncle’s secrets and deception came out. Grayson has been shaken to his very core. He has been grouchy and growly, not caring who he insulted. It was during this time that he met Natalie. When he started hanging out with her, for business of course, he discovered that there was more to this woman than her persistence for government documents and signatures. Her creative soul spoke to his wounded soul in a way no one else had ever before.

I love this series. These characters are real despite their millions. Facing down secret societies and masked villains are commonplace for this group of friends. A wonderful chosen family that defies the quests and coded operations. Looking forward to the next in the series. Forrest!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another wonderful book by this talented author. I really loved this story and the characters in it. This was Natalie and Grayson’s story! Natalie and Grayson had such chemistry, it was literally pouring off the pages. If there’s one thing this author does right is she gets the connection and passion between the characters she’s writing about spot on. Apart from the simmering connection between the two characters we’ve got the twists and turns that deal with both of their pasts and I think in particular Grayson’s past was really interesting to see him work through. This is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading in order though personally.
I’m definitely looking forward to more from this author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Waterfyre Rising Series. Even though it is part of a series these books can be read as a standalone as the main story focuses on individual couples. One thing i love about this series is that author attention to detail and character building. Her characters have so much depth and back stories that you can’t help be captivated by their story and how it unfolds

In this story we meet Grayson and Natalie.

Grayson has had a tough upbringing after witnessing a murder with his friends and then suffering more lies and betrayal in his family he has grown to become a man who trusts no one and allows no one to get to close to him. Relationships aren’t something he does as he loses interest too quick that is until he meets Natalie. Natalie is quick witted, she had a spark about her and she’s not afraid to bite back which makes her interesting to Grayson. Shes not like other women.

Natalie however, isn’t all she seems to be. She too is hiding secrets and lies revolving her family which is she on the hunt to find the truth too. The last thing she needs is to get distracted by a man. Especially a man that makes her blood boil as much as Greyson does. Why does he have this effect on her? Why does she allow him to possess so much control over her feelings?

This is a steamy enemies to lovers romance story which will keep the reader gripped till the end. As secrets start to be unraveled between them and their closeness grows will Natalie be able to break down the wall around Greysons heart or are they both too damaged to be able to fixed the damage they have already suffered?

ObedienceObedience by Liza Snow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The thing about this book that captured my attention was the description of the student-teacher relationship. Cassandra has admired Chandler basically her whole life. She followed his acrobatic career in the circus. When she gets the chance to work with him as her mentor, she quickly begins absorbing information from his knowledge and experience. Chandler knew from his first glance at Cassandra that he wanted to be the one to show her the silks used in his circus act. Their feelings for each other quickly develop beyond a mere professional relationship. However, tension follows them as they both are keeping secrets from each other. I didn’t realize until the end of the story that this is actually the start of the series, but I feel like the story Ms. Snow penned wraps up the introduction to Cassandra and Chandler’s lives. It also left enough of a cliffhanger that I am excited to read the next book. There are some spicy bits, that enhance the story in my opinion.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was very very excited for this story! I LOvE this series and could not wait to dive into this one. Sadly I did not love it. Oh there are scenes that were excellent but for way too much of the book there were too many repeated inner thoughts of the two main characters. I actually ended up flipping pages and could go 3-4 before I started reading again so I could pass repeated info. The beginning was good, the chase was good and the ending was great. All the rest I could have done without and enjoyed a shorter more condensed, more exciting read.

With that being said there were parts I loved. All the angle references were extremely cute. The bantering leading to that first kiss!?! Soo Sexy! His sensual attack on her senses during the bet would be hard to pass up. The time spent with his friends and her friends and when he worked on the game among others. The characters were fun to watch and learn about as are the secrets.

Overall this is just above an okay story for me. I LOVED the first two in the series and was expecting the same here. It is a good story but I am just sad about it. I am hoping the next gets back up to snuff.

Wow I managed to go straight into book three of this series and I was not disappointed. <br />Again we find the characters from the previous 2 books all making appearances as Chris finds it is his time to have his story told. Rowan needs a knight to step up and be her partner in a fake relationship.<br />There is certainly chemistry, and the well written banter between the characters that I have come to enjoy from this author. The story is interwoven with the previous stories (as with His Forever Muse book 2 in the series).<br />The author continues to give us romance with a twist, angst and emotions. I feel that it can be read as part pf the series or as a stand alone. Personally in the series you get to see the bigger picture and get a full feel for how the author builds their worlds.

The third book in The Echo Series and this is Chris and Rowan’s story. We met Chris in previous books and I was glad he got his own book. The banter and chemistry between Chris and Rowan and the added mystery kept me glued from start until finish. I loved the cameos from characters from the previous books and how everything was cleverly woven together. Highly recommend this book and the whole series.

Rowan Kelly and her family are enjoying refurbishing their family farm and Inn. With her brother Kieran running the farm and making it a success, the building work is going along on the Inn which is her domain. When one night her Dad decides to divulge a secret which rocks the family but also leaves Rowan and her brother in limbo.

Chris is visiting the Farm and Inn which Rae has been informed that she has a third in, but that her siblings are just getting over the shock of her arrival on the scene, so as Rae’s friend he offered to scope out the Inn and see what is going on.

Once Chris arrives he is instantly drawn to Rowan and with things mysteriously going wrong at the Inn and trying to cater for Rowan’s cousin’s wedding, can they find the saboteur and making the wedding a success in a matter of weeks. All trying to juggle Rae arriving and a fake engagement, you will have to delve in to find out.

I love this series and was waiting for Chris’s book as he has flitted in and out of the past two books you don’t really get to the bones of the man until this book. This can be read as a stand alone book as the author does reference some information from previous stories which enhances and adds information to this story.

I loved the chemistry between these two characters and that at first they were prickly to each other but as they got to know each other you are just willing them to believe they are meant for each other. I loved the secondary characters and would love to read Kieran’s story in the next book.

Rowan has inherited her family’s inn and wants to prove herself worthy. What better way to do that than to plan an amazing wedding for her cousin?!? Even though the inn might not be fully ready…and she doesn’t quite have the staff she needs…she (begrudgingly, at first) accepts the help of a stranger.

Chris comes to the island on vacation, and as a favor to a friend to check on the inn. What he doesn’t plan on doing is helping to plan a wedding and pretending to be the fiancé of the inn’s owner. He also doesn’t plan on the intense attraction the two have. But, when things start to get crazy, will Chris and Rowan be able to work together to get to the bottom of it?

I was really rooting for these two. This book has so much going on…love, loss, grief, drama, banter, angst, fake relationship, sabotage, healing…the list goes on and on. The author does such a good job at keeping you guessing til the end and making these characters feel so real. As the third book in the series…it can definitely be read as a standalone. However, C.R. Alam leaves lots of little gems in this book that refer to previous books in the series. This is a good book that I enjoyed reading.

This is a great read and a great series. Unexpected Entanglement is book 3 in the Echo Series, and I highly recommend reading this series as characters are tied in throughout the book, and I would have to say this while I loved all the books this would be my favorite story. I loved Chris and Rowan.
Spark, sizzle, fake relationship with banter, secrets, suspicion, drama, unexplained “accidents” and healing.

Chris Sullens, planned a vacation spot in Vinalhaven and a bit away from work as a successful hotel owner…but upon coming onto the island, he meets a fiery, Rowan Kelley. Chris’ plans also including to help out Rowan and her brother Kieran with their Inn, especially coming from experience….but this help at first comes with much questions and push-back.

Rowan wants to prove she can run her family owned Inn successfully…she is so determined. Things change unexpectedly with a loss, but it does not deter Rowan to fulfilling her family legacy and keep the Inn going. When Chris Sullens shows up to help, with at first hesitation, she ends up learning so much more. Rowan is determined more than ever to have the best wedding for her friend at the Inn…but when strange things start happening at the Inn…..will Rowan be able to have the wedding that she planned for her cousin be successful while working with Chris as they also navigate their feelings?

This is such a fantastic read, I highly recommend! This story gave me all the feels as I devoured each page and I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

Rowan Kelly has inherited an inn and she’s super excited to host her cousin’s wedding there. Everything has to be perfect and beautiful for the big day. Rowan can handle just about anything that is put in her way but having an extra hand or two never hurts!

Insert Chris Sullens. Chris is a well-known hotelier who is more than happy to dig in and help Rowan make this wedding the best ever. What he didn’t expect is the role that he’d be asked to play in order this wedding to go off WITH a hitch!

This is probably my favorite book of this series so far! There is an overlap of some characters from previous books (it was good to catch up on them!) but this book can be read as a standalone easily. I look forward to seeing where this series continues to go!

None other than the handsome Chris Sullens turns up at the hotel where wedding planning is underway and ends up helping her. As their attraction and planning come to be, other things are unraveled.

Rowan Kelly thought her life was all planned out until she finds out a secret that was carefully hidden. Now the improvements she is hoping for for her inn. When Chris Sullens ends up in town offering his help and to get a sense of the inn, she never expects it to be in a fake relationship. As they get closer though they find the chemistry is too much to ignore, what happens when they fall for one another.

Another great story from this author. Rowan is full of sass and I liked that the emotions for her and her sister were a bit raw, it fit with the plot. Chris is great, he has some swagger and the attraction between Rowan and Chris is undeniable.

Unexpected Entanglement
By: C. R. Alam

This is the third book in the Echo Series. This brings what readers of C.R. Alam have learned to love. A great plot, characters that feel like they could be someone that you know and some love.
Chris is such an amazing character. I love that he is a famous entrepreneur but he is able to come into a small town and really fit in and doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. Rowan has come into an inn and she is pouring her heart and soul into fixing it up. She is facing a serious deadline, the inn needs to be up and running before her cousin’s wedding.
Chris is a famous hotelier. His hotels are located all over the world. But being in this small town he knows how to get things not only done but done well.
What happens when Chris and Rowan’s paths meet? What begins as a fake entanglement may just become something more.
I definitely recommend reading this book and the others in the echo series. Each book is a stand alone but I wouldn’t miss a single one as they are all excellent.

Having read and enjoyed the previous two books in the series I was looking forward to this story, and I found it as entertaining and engaging as the others. Although the characters do crossover it can be read as a standalone story. Although the inn which Rowan Kelly has inherited is not as ready or as staffed as she would like, she’s determined to provide her cousin with a beautiful wedding held there. Meanwhile, well known hotelier Chris Sullens had planned on staying in Vinalhaven for just twenty four hours, but finds himself offering to help the beautiful but fiery innkeeper plan a wedding.
Rowan knows she should be flattered by Chris’s help and use his expertise but she just finds him nosy, and a bit charming. Despite their obvious mutual attraction and sizzling chemistry, they both try to keep things professional, and we’re doing well until Chris finds himself playing the role of Rowan’s fiancé. However, the couple have to work together as strange events seem to threaten not only the wedding and the inn’s future, but also Rowan’s safety. The storyline flows well and the plot kept me hooked throughout. Both main characters are likeable and relatable, who’s chemistry really came across in the narrative. This heartwarming romantic suspense story was a real page turner.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unexpected Entanglement is the third book in The Echo Series. It centers around Rowan who has been working hard to restore a rundown inn that has been in her family for years. Her father was working with her to restore the inn until his sudden passing. Before her father died, he told Rowan a deep dark secret that he has kept hidden from her and her brother all their lives. This secret shocks Rowan to the core and alters the course of future events in her life.

Fast forward several months and a wealthy hotelier named Chris has arrived at Vinalhaven. As a man who owns hotels all over the world he is well known and well respected in the hotel industry. His plan was to only remain for twenty-four hours and do some snooping around on the owners of Vinalhaven. However, his plans quickly change when he offers to help Rowan who is fighting a tight deadline to get the inn ready for her cousin’s upcoming wedding.

Although both Chris and Rowan try to remain professional about their arrangement, they find it hard to deny their attraction to one another. When he gets roped into playing the role of Rowan’s doting fiancé things take a turn. Suddenly things between them sizzle and the sparks between them start to fly. Will Rowan and Chris be able to work together when things start to go wrong at the inn and its future is at stake? Is there a future between the two of them? Is there a future for the inn?

The chemistry between Rowan and Chris was undeniable and it was interesting to see where the story was going. Especially since Chris was at Vinalhaven to basically spy on Rowan and her brother. Obviously, a heart wants what it wants, and attraction is hard to deny. The long-lost family member part of the story was intriguing and gave the storyline an interesting twist. I needed to read farther and see if there would be a family reunion of sorts between the siblings and how that would go. This book had mystery, drama, chemistry, passion, unexpected romance, and a twist with long-lost siblings.

I really enjoyed the way this author weaves the romantic suspense and steam into the third book of this series. Even though this is full of complicated emotions, I felt a connection with each of the characters. The level of detail that went into the characters and settings were top level. My favorite by far was Rowan. She is so feisty and independent, until she meets Chris. They melt into each other and there is plenty of spice involved. I appreciated the thoroughness of the plot, so the author didn’t just rely on the tantalizing scenes to carry the story. Even though they have PLENTY of chemistry, is there a happily ever after for these two, or is it just a short stint they’ll look back on fondly?

This is the 3rd book in The Echo Series. I highly recommend reading the books in order so you get a better feel for the characters as previous characters show up in this story. However it could be read as a standalone because it mainly focuses on the two main characters Chris and Rowan.
This story has a mixture of everything. The romance is a slow burn as circumstances mean that Chris and Rowan have to pretend to be a couple. So what happens when faking being in love actually turns into the real thing? This is something neither of them expected to happen or were looking for. All Chris had to do was help Rowan pull off her cousins wedding, but as attraction sizzled between them and strange things started happening he knew there was no way he could walk away from her.

As a reader you can’t help but fall in love with the characters which just goes to show how much love and character the author puts into them. They are more than just words on a page you can imagine them as living breathing beings and you feel every emotion they go through. I really enjoyed this emotional heartfelt story.

I love the Echo series !! This 3rd book is just as fantastic as the other 2. None of the characters resemble each other & none of the storylines are even close to the same . There is always an element of excitement, along with some steamy spots, but mostly they are so wholesome. Chris is such a great guy & it was wonderful to see him find love! I didn’t really care for Rowan & I would have liked to see Chris be loved as freely & enthusiastically as he deserved. She was very negative & self denying & hurt his feelings too often for me. It was kind of annoying. However, she was a tough cookie & courageous. There were good qualities in her, & her love for Chris & Rae were the most important thing. Plus, grief has a profound impact on personality & the author showed that beautifully. I LOVED that Rae finally got to meet her sister & brother, & loved even more that it was her friend & sister that connected. The bit of mystery was also done phenomenally & really kept me uncertain right up to the reveal. Even though I thought I knew, I still thought it could have been different too. I’m so excited to read more of these books & I hope we get a Kieran & Frankie story from this amazing author!

Unexpected Entanglement (Book 3 of the Echo Series)Unexpected Entanglement by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This very talented author creates such amazing characters and storylines filled with so much heart! I was instantly in love and was completely invested in the story of Rowan and Chris right from the start. Having met Chris a little in the previous books in this wonderful series I knew his story was going to be a great read and it definitely was that and so much more! Now if you haven’t read the previous books you will still follow the storyline and enjoy it wholeheartedly but I HIGHLY recommend reading the entire series simply because the people and places created in these pages will burrow into your heart to stay and you don’t want to miss out on that.

Unexpected Entanglement (The Echo Series Book 3) by C.R. Alam – Review by Kiana Corley

Unexpected Entanglement (Book 3 of the Echo Series)Unexpected Entanglement by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a great read with a lot of character development.

This book follows Rowan. She inherited an inn and has been fixing it up. She has a pretty clear vision of what she wants the inn to look like and the feeling it will have. With the help of her father, she has been able to get quite a bit of the remodeling done. She has a deadline that she wants to have up and running by and that is her cousin’s wedding.

Chris is world-renowned in the hotel industry. He has many hotels all over the world. What happens when he winds up in the same town as Rowan’s little inn? Chris is pretty laid back but knows how to put his foot down and get things done and done well.

What happens when the sassy spitfire meets the well-put-together businessman? Can something that was just for show really become something? Read this book to find out what happens with Rowan and Chris. Also, find out what happens with the inn.

This is the third book in this series and it didn’t disappoint. This is my favorite of this series so far. The chemistry between Chris and Rowan is off the charts. I was rooting for them the entire story. The author did an excellent job bringing out many different emotions in the reader. I enjoy a book that gives me all the feels, and this one definitely did. This book is full of love, family, chemistry, friendship, danger and more. This is definitely a must read and I can’t wait to read the next book by this author.
