Flirting with Fire

I loved Flirting with Fire written by Kate Hardy, the second book in the Men of Marietta series. This is another heart wrenching story featuring people who missed out on the love from their parents. This is Lyle Tate and Emily Foster’s story, their siblings being featured in the first book. Emily comes to Marietta, from London, to check on her twin Charlie and if her love for Logan is true and it is there she meets Lyle, Logan’s younger brother. As these two spend time together they decide to act on the attraction between them by having a fling. However, these two skeptics towards love soon realize that love is what they feel for each other. Emily realizes that, like her parental neglect, Lyle needs to come to terms with thanking his brother for protecting him from their mean, drunk father. The biggest problems for Lyle and Emily are admitting that they love each other and what to do about the distance between their homes. This story really resonated with me, exemplifying that hope and love does exist. Also that there is more than one way to follow one’s passion. Ms Hardy did an outstanding job exemplifying this in her writing and plot line. I really enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down, reading it in one day. I highly recommend this book to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Yet another great story! I'm really enjoying this series so far. Emily is in Marietta to check up on her sister who suddenly went from wild child to settling down with a rancher. Lyle is that rancher's little brother and is a bit of a wild and crazy person himself. They say opposites attract, and these two definitely had a lot of chemistry. I really loved how sweet and caring Lyle is deep down. He goes out of his way to help everyone else, including lost dogs, but yet keeps everyone at a distance. I really love how Emily figured him out, and how he figured her out. They really were a great match.

Two sets of siblings that have the ultimate bond and love for each other despite having grown up in loveless households with parents who either neglected or abused them prove that life is truly what you make it. Wonderful characters that you cannot help but fall for with huge hearts that take care of each other and those around them find their true loves and happily ever afters.
