Flash Point RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW

Title: Flash Point
Series: Kilgore Fire Series #2
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: June 2, 2016
Cover Model: Quinn Biddle
Photographer: Furious Fotog 
Masen Crisfield fell in love with Booth Jones when she was sixteen years old. Booth was the love of her life. The rock she needed to get her through the day. Then she rips his heart out while he’s deployed, leaving him wondering just what he’d done to warrant something so severe as a breakup that neither of them wanted.
Stubbornness is their middle name, and ten long years pass before either one of them try to breach the gap.
Circumstances force Booth to come home, and within an hour of him being back in his hometown, there she is. Right back in the forefront of his mind where he knows she shouldn’t be.
The day he starts his first civilian job at Kilgore Fire Department, his worst fear of seeing Masen is realized. And not only does he see her, but he sees her with another man. A fellow firefighter that he has to trust with his life.
It soon becomes apparent that they are both still just as much in love with each other now as they were the moment they met. But there’s a problem. Booth’s married, and Masen’s in a committed relationship.
They fight the pull with everything they have, but they’re both about to learn the true meaning of flash point as the two of their lives crash together. Their love consuming everything in its path.

My Thoughts…

Oh My Gosh…. Those Kilgore Firemen definitely give me good dreams.      Booth is wonderful.   He is not perfect, but what fun is perfect.     Masen is interesting.     With that mouth, that temper, and that heart she is perfect for Booth.    

Long time sweethearts who are known for fighting and making up have been apart for way too long.   When circumstances bring them back together the sparks fly.    Fighting them is not easy although they both try.     Anyone who has read a Lani Lynn Vale book knows that her characters can’t stay apart for long.     This holds true for Booth and Masen also.    The sparks, the love, the fights…everything about them is wonderful.    They are real, true, and so amazing!   A relationship is not all roses.    This is what makes Booth and Masen so perfect together.    

This is the second book in the series and the other Kilgore Firemen make appearances.   There is the chance to get caught up with Tai and Mia from Shock Advised (see my thoughts HERE).    The next book cannot come soon enough.    I certainly need more of these characters.

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.

Which couldn’t be further from the truth.
He’s fought hard to become the man he is today. He’s a hero in the public’s eye. A firefighter that the young all the way to the old turn to for help at the lowest point in their lives.
What people don’t know, though, is that he’s no hero. He’s the reason his sister is dead, and he’ll spend the rest of his life trying to right that wrong.
Then one split second decision has him coming face to face with Mia Darling. The woman changes his life, making him reevaluate everything he thought he had figured out, and showing him the tenderness he never knew he needed.
Just like always, though, his luck runs out.
When the smoke settles, Mia’s gone, and Tai realizes there’s no way he can live the rest of his life without her. He’ll show her just how hard a bad boy will fight to get his woman back, and he’s not opposed to fighting dirty.

Stacked Up (Worth the Fight #6) by Sidney Halston

ebook, 265 pages
Expected publication: May 31st 2016 by Loveswept

Working two jobs to support her infant daughter is harder than anything Penny Richards has ever done, but it sure beats living under the rules of her stepfather, a television preacher who demands a picture-perfect family. And if Penny hadn’t struck out on her own, she never would have met Travis Calhoun. The intensely physical heavyweight brawler has a way of drawing out her wild side. But Travis lives fast, with no responsibilities—and that just isn’t for Penny.

Most of the women in Travis’s circle wear tight clothes, high heels, and tons of makeup—not pearls or plaid headbands. But once he works past Penny’s inhibitions, Travis discovers a kindred spirit who longs to trust someone with her body, and her secrets. Still, Travis can’t help but wonder if this rich girl is just slumming it before she returns to her privileged life. Now it’s up to Penny to prove that she wants her hard-edged, hard-loving fighter just the way he is.

My Thoughts…

My first thought was how sad that the WtF men’s stories are all told and Travis is the last one in this series.      From the very beginning of this series I loved the characters, their significant others, and their stories.     I was invested on them all being okay, happy, and together and now it is done.    I am positive I will continue to read Sidney Halston’s future books and will love them because she is so incredibly talented.   

In Stacked Up we see Travis grow up.   He’s a fun, sexy, mma fighter who doesn’t want to settle down or have kids.    As Penny comes into his life he still wants to have fun and still doesn’t want kids but…. Sarabelle gets to him.    How can a cute little girl not win over the protective side of a MMA fighter?    The answer is the fighter cannot win.    His heart belongs to her from the beginning.     I love  when a tough guy falls for the little girl, even before he falls for the woman.    

Penny and Travis are perfect for each other.    He has the funds, the house, and the love to keep her safe from an over bearing stepfather.   She has the heart, the skills, and the will to win his heart.       She doesn’t expect him to protect her, she doesn’t expect him to fall in love with her, but she deserves all of that and more.  Travis is the best and only guy for the job.

This book and this series are some of the MMA books I have ever read.    The characters are real, the trust and love is real, and the stories are ones that you won’t forget.   I recommend checking out this book. 


Each book is a stand alone.   They can be read out of order.   The characters appear in each other’s stories but each book is its own story.
