Review! Combustible: The Complete Series (Combustible #1-4) Brandy L. Rivers
Combustible: The Complete Series - Brandy L. Rivers

 

 

So hot it’s combustible.

 

This crew of firefighters put their friends and families first, but haven’t found the person who sets their passion ablaze.

 

With mystery, suspense, determination and a fierce sense of brotherhood, these men will do anything to claim their heart's desire.

 

 

Readers experience a sense of brotherhood in this exciting, moving and heart capturing collection of books. Combustible: The Complete Series consists of four romances full of sizzling attractions, blazing hot desires and thrilling suspense all of which ignite the reader’s passions.

 

In Heart on Fire, Mila Day just wants one wild night but it’s not exactly what she gets. Fireman, Kyle Blake is happy alone until his heart is stolen by his new next door neighbors.

 

In Falling Star, Ella Cross tries to bury her on-screen persona and start fresh in a small town only she can’t resist her new neighbor, Trent Ward. Trent knows she’s running from something but between his demons and her past, he has to wonder if he will have the strength to save her from her worst nightmare.

 

Next up, Sweet Tooth, Isandro has a sweet tooth and a long time crush on the feisty choc0latier and Arianna is finally ready to take a chance but her ex-lover won’t take the hint.

 

Finally, in Backburn, a firebug is loose and old flames, Marissa Cortez and Dave Metcalf will have to pair up in order to solve the string of arsons.

 

This small town is full of strong, well developed and delightful characters that capture readers’ hearts as they work through their sizzling romances full of emotional turmoil and thrilling suspense. The reader certainly won’t find a dull moment as stalkers, exes, family squabbles, overbearing parents and electrical sparks flying in every direction keep readers glued to the pages of these fast paced and smooth flowing plots.

 

I enjoyed each and every one of the four books and found that when I finished one I couldn’t wait to start to the next one of course, that meant I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep, but it was well worth it and these sexy heroes are extremely combustible.

Book Review of Sweet Tooth (Combustible Book 3) by Brandy L Rivers
Sweet Tooth (Combustible) (Volume 3) - Emily A. Lawrence,Brandy L. Rivers

One taste and he craves more...

 

Isandro has a sweet tooth only a feisty chocolatier can sate. Rejected years ago, her sudden interest comes as a surprise, but he won’t miss this chance.

 

Seeing is believing.

 

Until Arianna caught her now ex-lover cheating, she couldn’t shut the door on Derrick. After a few drinks, she’s ready to take a chance.

 

Isandro is like nothing she ever expected, but everything she’s dreamed.

 

Derrick won’t take the hint. Her family doesn’t approve of her choices. Now she will be forced to choose between blood and her heart.

 

Review 4*

 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.

 

This is the third book in the Combustible contemporary romance series. I loved it!

 

Arianna Nelson is a wonderful character. I really liked her. She is a chocolatier who runs the local sweet shop. When she catches her on again/off again boyfriend Derrick cheating, she decides that enough is enough and breaks up with him for good. Attracted to Isandro, she wasn't looking for love but cupid had other ideas.

 

Isandro Cortez (or Bulldog as his firefighting team mates and friends call him) is a fantastic character. I love his protective and loving heart of gold. He has had feelings for Arianna for years, but didn't act on it as she was in an on again/off again relationship with Derrick. Now she's broken up with him again, Isandro hopes that he can win her heart.

 

I started to read this book and quickly became hooked. The story is told through the eyes of both Arianna and Isandro, which allowed me to see what they were both thinking and feeling. I found myself on a roller coaster of emotion from beginning to end. I am a sucker for contemporary romances with sexy firemen and chocolate in it, and this book doesn't disappoint.

 

I must admit that I enjoyed this book much more than the first two books in the series. I think this is because most of the characters have already been introduced and they have become my friends. Having said that, I found myself not liking Arianna's mother. She comes across as cold and snobbish due to her ambition and lack of compassion towards Arianna; she also belittles her, which affects Arianna's self-esteem. Who needs enemies when you have a mother like that? Arianna's sisters, Cherise and Antionette, are also more like their mother, though Cherise is nicer to Arianna. However, she is rather more tactless/thoughtless and says things that are hurtful without realising it. Derrick is a total douche and Arianna is much better for breaking up with him in my opinion. Marissa, Isandro's sister, however, is a wonderful character with a warm and welcoming personality.

 

There's a lot of heat between the main protagonists and it fairly sizzles on the page. The characters themselves feel lifelike and likable. I love flawed characters, as they come alive on the page. There are a few surprises that I didn't see coming though, and I reached the end of the book with mixed emotions. I felt sad that the story ended, but happy with the way it did. I can't wait to read the next book in the series, Backburn, as soon as possible.

 

Brandy L. Rivers has written an entertaining contemporary romance series. I love her fast paced writing style, and the flow is wonderful. Her characters are lifelike and likable. With her ability to write in both the paranormal and contemporary romance genres, she is one of my go to authors when I'm in the mood for a sexy read.

 

Due to explicit scenes of a sexual nature, as well as use of bad language, I do not recommend this book to readers under the age of 18. However, I do recommend this book if you love hot erotic contemporary romances full of sexy firemen and determined women. - Lynn Worton

Book Review of Falling Star (Combustible Book 2) by Brandy L Rivers
Falling Star (Combustible Book 2) - Brandy L. Rivers,Kathy Lapeyre

One day of hell changed her forever.
Ella Cross wanted to bury her on-screen persona even before her abduction. Being in the spotlight grew worse after the ordeal. She left Raven Star behind to find herself again.
A fresh start.
No ties to her past.
In a small town where only her oldest friend knows who she was, she believes her secrets are safe. But secrets never stay hidden forever. Sooner or later the past always resurfaces.
Then she meets him.
Trent Ward can’t resist his new neighbor. Ella is familiar, but he can’t place why. He knows she’s running from something. As much as he wants to protect her, he wants to unravel her mystery.
Between his demons and her past, Trent may not have the strength to explore the growing connection to Ella.
Will he save her from her worst nightmare?

 

Review 4*

 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.

 

This is the second book in the Combustible contemporary romance series. I loved it!

 

Ella Cross is a wonderful character. I really liked her. She is a well known actress and goes by the stage name Raven Star. Even before being kidnapped and escaping her captor, she had become tired of the media circus. She grabs the opportunity to get out from under the spotlight and moves to a small town where her best friend from childhood (Mila from the previous book), lives. She was not expecting romance, but when she meets Trent Ward, her new neighbour, the chemistry between them is undeniable.

 

Trent Ward is also a wonderful character. I liked him a lot. He is a loving, caring man. It doesn't hurt that he's a fireman either. When he meets Ella he's intrigued with his mysterious new neighbour and is attracted to her. However, he also has his own family problems. But, when danger threatens Ella, his protective instincts are triggered. But can he protect his heart?

 

Having previously read paranormal romances written by this author, I was eager to read this contemporary romance series. I started to read this book and quickly became hooked. The story is told through the eyes of both Ella and Trent, which allowed me to see what they were both thinking and feeling. I found myself on a roller coaster of emotion from beginning to end. I am a sucker for contemporary romances with sexy firemen, so meeting Trent's friends and colleagues was a thrill too. Trent's nephew, Blaze, is also a wonderful character and has had to grow up too quickly due to his mother's drug addiction. This made me sad.

 

This story felt a little predictable as it followed the traditional romantic theme, but there's a lot of heat between the main protagonists which made up for it. The characters themselves felt lifelike and likable. I love flawed characters, as they come alive on the page. This story has several flawed characters, which kept things interesting. I love the way the story unfolded, and some topics (such as Trent's sister's drug addiction) was handled sympathetically. The danger that Ella faces from her kidnapper/stalker lends a bit of suspense to the tale, but I didn't feel that the threat was as immediate as it should have been. Other readers may have a different opinion. However, having said that, I certainly wouldn't have guessed at who the culprit was, as there were several twists and red herrings.

 

I reached the end of the book (which doesn't end in a cliffhanger) and was left with a happy, satisfied feeling. I am now looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Sweet Tooth, as soon as possible.

 

Brandy L. Rivers has written an entertaining contemporary romance series. I love her fast paced writing style, and the flow is wonderful. Her characters are lifelike and likable. With her ability to write in both the paranormal and contemporary romance genres, she is one of my go to authors when I'm in the mood for a sexy read.

A Little Combustible Chemistry: Prequel to Love, Chocolate, and Beer (Cactus Creek)
A Little Combustible Chemistry: Prequel to Love, Chocolate, and Beer (Cactus Creek) - Violet Duke Although I may never read the rest of Luke and Dani's story this first introduction to the pair was not only laugh out loud good but made me hungry for some chocolate and a little drink to wash it down.

Neat initial start to a series that has serious potential to please a large audience of contemporary romance readers.
