Molly J (Cover To Cover Cafe) (106 KP) rated Pursued (Nikki Boyd Files #3) in Books

Feb 27, 2019

Holy smokes! Ms. Harris is a FABULOUS thrilling, suspense author. Her book had it all. I mean all. It had the thrills of suspense, the chilling twists, the roller coaster ups and the breath taking romance that makes up a well rounded, beautifully written romantic suspense novel.

The characters within this book are perfectly chiseled. They are real-to-life and complexly portrayed in this thriller. Nikki, Erika, Tyler and the other secondary characters really pulled me into the heart of the story with them. Every fast paced move, every heart pounding scene truly came to life for me. I loved that!

Ms. Harris had me on the edge of the my seat through this whole book. I read it in one intense sitting! That is how a book is written, that's for sure. She added the perfect amount of messages from God and kept the story line flowing. This story is filled with hope and trusting in Him. You need both in today's world!

While this is not the first book in this series, it wasn't hard to get acquainted with the characters and their stories. But, I will for sure be checking out the first two books in the series as well as looking forward to the next installment! Ms. Harris, you are truly, superbly talented and I give this book a whopping 5 star praise and roof-top-shouting recommendations. <a href="http://cafinatedreads.com/revell-reads-review-pursued-by-lisa-harris/"; target="_blank">This review was originally posted on Cafinated Reads</a>

First, can we just take a minute to talk about this cover? It’s absolutely adorable! I love the birds, and the books, and the colors. That alone would pull me into the book. Second, can I just tell you that I wish we had books like this when I was a kid! Don’t get me wrong, Beverly Cleary, Ramona Quimby, The Baby Sitters Club, and a few others were awesome. But, books like TSAOF would have been happily devoured then, too!

I absolutely adored Alastair. I’m not a fan of birds, but it they were all like Alastair I would have a dozen! I loved his curmudgeon quirkiness, and his ability to pull you into the story, along with his sister Aggie. His poetry was awesome and captivating! And, Fritz. Let me tell you what. I saw a lot of my own kiddos in Fritz. He was just lovable. And, Bertie! The perfect “grandma” for the story. I loved her laugh-out-loud moments in the story.

This debut novel by the amazingly talented Cory Leonardo is one that should be on every young reader’s shelves. It’s filled with life lessons, lots of laughter, characters who will become friends, and lots of fun. If you have a younger reader, age 8 and up, I would definitely recommend you get this for them. It’s worthy of 4 stars, for sure! Great job on your debut, Leonardo!

Radiator 2 consists of three mini-games by Robert Yang: Hurt Me Plenty, Succulent, and Stick Shift). All three are gay in nature. In "Hurt Me Plenty," you play a faceless hand that spanks a gentleman. This game is pretty neat in that it has strong messages about consent, limits, and aftercare. You shake your "date's" hand until an agreement is reached via symbols, and you go to town. Afterwards, you provide a comforting touch to his shoulder.

In "Succulent," you guide a nice fellow as he deepthroats a popsicle. You win when it melts! (We all do.)

"Stick Shift" was my favorite game. You "stimulate" a car by shifting gears. The face of the driver is hilarious. The aim of the game is to get the car into its final gear, but it's tricky. The further you go, the easier it is to stall out. If you stall out enough, you get pulled over. If you get pulled over, you are automatically locked out of the game for ten minutes--unless you make kissy-faces at the cops, which I did. Each kiss adds ten minutes to your lock-out. I think I still have like, two hours left before I can play again. The same thing can happen in "Hurt Me Plenty" if you hit your partner too much or after he says his safe word.

These games are amusing, but they're not meant to have long term playability. It's a free game, so it's not as though you're not getting what you paid for.
