Holding: Playmaker Duet (Prescott Family...

Mignon Mykel’s HOLDING is an amazing conclusion to the Playmaker Duet.  HOLDING takes place where ALTERCATION left off; Asher Spence and Avery Prescott were kidnapped by Asher’s former foster father, James Johnson.  Understandably, Asher is having difficulties dealing with the abduction and her memories that resurfaced.   Mignon Mykeln does a fantastic job relating the emotional aspects to this story. 

Asher is an astonishing heroine.  She has undergone a lot and has grown tremendously through this series.  She feels tainted.  She has ghosts and experience self-doubt.  I love Porter Prescott. He is supportive and loving to Asher.  He gives Asher her space but is broken hearted doing it.  The couple faces so much.  They are stronger and better together. 

The plot was tear-jerking and believable.  Unexpected situations arise that the couple must face.  The Prescott’s are a remarkable family that truly cares for one another.  I love the epilogue.  It made the story feel well concluded.  At 91-pages HOLDING is a fast read.  I could not put HOLDING down.  I am sure I will end up re-reading this series.  I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Mignon Mykel’s ALTERCATION is an emotional and amazing read.  ALTERCATION starts out where Porter and Asher met in BREAKAWAY (Playmaker Duet, #0.6; Prescott Family, #3) but is told from Porter’s point of view.  The story continues with the couple’s lives, fluctuating between both viewpoints.  I adored this story.

Mignon Mykel did a wonderful job developing the characters.  Asher and Porter both grew tremendously throughout this novel, having several obstacles and issues to overcome.  Asher is scarred by her past growing up in foster care. She finally feels like she belongs somewhere with the Prescott family.  She is terrified of losing them, and haunted by her past.  Porter is a great guy.  He is perceptive, patient, and protective with Asher.  Asher and Porter have powerful chemistry. 

The plot was well written with interesting twists.  I love how Avery is always getting involved with Asher’s and Porter’s relationship.  I love the explanation to why all the Prescott siblings had eleven tattooed on themselves.  My heart broke for the things the family went through in this story.  Everything that happens is believable and well executed.  ALTERCATION ends in a cliff hanger.  I cannot wait to read the next story, HOLDING, to find out what happens.  I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Breakaway: A Playmaker Duet Prequel (Pre...

Mignon Mykel did a wonderful job with BREAKAWAY, the first book in the Playmaker Duet. My heart completely went out to Asher.  What happens to her at the beginning to this story was difficult to read.  I wanted to be able to protect her and felt helpless reading the events unfolded.  This story could have some triggering effects for some people.  Asher is an amazing individual.  I love the meaning behind her tattoos.  Her life seems to be one giant obstacle to overcome.

I appreciated that Asher became such good friends with Carter Douglas. I thought it was great what Carter’s brother, Hunter, does for Asher.  I was trying to figure out if Mignon Mykel had another series about Carter and her family. I couldn’t find anything.  I could easily see a Douglas series. 

I thought it was clever how Asher meets Avery Prescott and is introduced to the Prescott family.  I love how insistent they can be.  I also, love that The Douglas’ and Prescott’s instantly adopt Asher. After everything she has been through, I could understand her being skeptical. 

BREAKAWAY is a short story and fast read.  I didn’t want the novella to end when it did.  I cannot wait to hear Porter Prescott’s and Asher’s story.  I was happy that the first chapter to the next book; ALTERCATION was included to tide me over.  I cannot wait to see how things pan out.  I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
