Review ~ Playing with Fire by Lexi Ryan



Dr. Phoenix Reid isn't who she seems...

Everyone knows a phoenix rises from the ashes. What they don't talk about are the people she drags with her into the fire.

I thought one hot night with Max Hallowell was harmless. I never expected it would force me to face my past or bring back the man who swore he'd never let me go. Now Max wants to help me. Wants to save me. But if I let him, he'll be destroyed. I can already smell the flames. 

A woman with a secret past. A man determined to protect her. A dangerous passion that could cost them both everything.

My Thoughts:

I started with the Here and Now books, Hanna's story. I have been completely addicted since then.

This one is one I have been waiting for. I felt for Max in Hanna's books and I am glad that he finally found his one. :-)

Nix is another great character. Actually, all of the characters from New Hope are really likable except Meredith.  I don't think I will ever like her.

Nix is the Doctor and a member of the girl's gang. This is her story. She has been a little mysterious in each of the books and now we finally get to understand why.

I loved this story. It had a damsel in distress, a hero without a stallion, some danger, fires, sexy scenes, romance, friendship, parenthood issues, and so much more.

The pages of this book were packed with romance, suspense, action and danger, sexy parts, drama and wonderful characters.

I recommend the whole series! Each book has been great.

I received an ecopy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. It was fabulous! I can't wait for more. I have my suspicion who cat woman is and I can't wait to find out!

Also, I apologize for not having the purchase links listed for you, my computer got a virus and I am using someone else's computer. It is older and not able to open and download many of the apps that I need to access. Luckily, I had most of the post ready ahead of time! Thanks for understanding!
