Couldn't guess the ending (0 more)
Some things were shocking (0 more)
I like the twists and turns in this book and the motive. You can guess the motive from the beginning of the book but you can't guess the true ins and outs. There were a couple of different stories going on which helped the story unravel.
I usually read this kind of genre - crime. It was one of the good ones which you couldn't guess.
I was hooked from the first chapter and sometimes crime books take me a few chapters to get into. I couldn't put the book down.
The story flowed really well. The only thing I didn't like was the descriptions of people at the beginning of the book - some of the information was not relevant and never came up in the story. Also I get a feeling for the characters and learn about them as I read. With so many characters described I quickly forgot the information about each character. I understand the author had done this as people had commented that they would prefer this but me personally I didn't like it.
Some of the information that came to light in the book shocked me and the book is definitely not for the faint hearted. Although it is fiction it does remind you that this stuff really does go on.
The audience is definitely adults due to the content which was shocking.
I would 100% read the other books in this series.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

FIGHTING THE LURE is part of the multi-author Fighting for Love series, and I am in love and want more!

Sam left home ten years ago, leaving her parents and younger sister behind. When she tried to contact Nina, she was shut down. So Sam disappeared out of their lives, leaving a younger Ames wondering where her crush had gone. Time moves on and Ames moves to a new city and a new gym, and wouldn't you just know it...

Hot and intense - I loved every word, every thought, and every scene. The connection between Ames and Sam is instantaneous. Sparks fly, my friend, think fireworks. BUT it wasn't all about getting hot and heavy. There was so much more to these two. They connected on every level, not just the physical.

So many characters that I enjoyed reading about, and I'm really hoping Brooks and Emmit have their own stories. I may just have to check out the other books in this series! I also hope Nina gets her HEA! I think she deserves one after being lied to for all these years. Plus, she lives so far away from Ames now! 😄

A great read that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Another jewel in Katherine McIntyre's crown!

SPIRIT OUT OF BALANCE is the fifth book in The Guardians series, and I haven't read all of them, and I'm wondering if I missed something.

Let me explain...

I've read books one and four in this series, and both of them could be read as standalones, BUT for this story, I just felt as though I had missed something about Mathias and his arm. Maybe it's because I haven't read this series recently? I'm unsure. Anyway, moving on to the rest of the review.

Out of the two main characters, Lex was my favourite. She is a strong character who does the best with what she's got. Her brother is a douche, and I really wish I could have met her father. I loved reading about the dances Lex did and her passion for them. Lex and Mathias may not have met in the best of circumstances, but the connection between them is undeniable - until Mathias decides he knows best!

This was a great addition to the series, and I really hope we get Eamon's story at some point. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have no hesitation in recommending it. I just wish I could have connected with Mathias and his story a little more.
