| Reviews & Excerpts |
Reviews Overall Rating: 4.0! “...it’s not the classic chick-lit book. It has more depth than that… I believe there are a lot of different types if secrets in A Fiery Secret. Some are evil, some are wrong and some are through choice. It is a sweet, modern romance where the normal everyday complications of life meet a mystery head on. But above all, this book has a nice feel good ending that makes you smile.” ~Janet Davies, Once Upon A Romance
Review rating: 5 Author Diane Craver has a way with mystery. This enchanting Chick Lit voiced novel will have you suspecting just about everyone when it comes down to just who killed the janitor? And why? She keeps investigative reporter, Catherine Steel on the chase, not just for her story, but her hot co-worker, Jake Michaels, as well. ~JoEllen Conger for Gotta Write Network
This story begins with a fun, flirty bang and keeps a light-hearted energy throughout the pages. The mystery is woven in amidst life, love and much laughter. The story does not concentrate its focus on the who-dunnit, but shows you many sides and aspects of the main character’s life. Catherine Steel is an investigative reporter who does some fluff pieces on the side for extra money. Catherine is handed information that leads back to an old case and, as she begins digging into the past and uncovering secrets, it soon begins to look like murder. While struggling to uncover the truth, she is also faced with the advances of an old flame. I enjoyed the tension and attraction between Catherine and Jake. Having been spurned in love before, by Jake no less, Catherine is determined to make a second chance difficult for him and she is bold and shameless in her flirting. It was refreshing to read a story where the main character was confident and smart, comfortable in her body and at peace with herself and her life. Catherine is looking for love, but not desperate for it. She is determined to live her life to the fullest. Reviewed by Lily for The Long and The Short of It Reviews |
