More to love in book 2!

More Mack, more Pumi, more Robin - more of everything from the recipe of success of book 1 in this innovative and exciting series. Book 2 the perfect way to.continue the adventure!

Mack and Pumi - shades of the incredible hulk and kool aid man add humor and comic relief to what is often a deep, involved, and exclusive genre to read.

I thoroughly enjoyed how Shift truly broke out into her own in this installment. She was awesome in book 1, so wait until you see what she's up to now! The dark elves have been sent back, but this isn't over by a long shot. There's a new bad girl to lay the enforcer smackdown on, and she might be the toughest test yet. And the town has turned into a massive rainforest! The Queen is not happy, even though Shift already saved the day in book 1. No good deed goes unpunished, as usual.

Shift's relationship with her mother, The Queen, is perfectly narrated with a nice flashback to further accentuate what The Queen put her daughters through for what she thought to be the greater good; yet there is a level of ignorance to her that anyone who has worked with a dominating authority figure will recognize. I (the reviewer) have certainly worked with and for folks like The Queen, and I appreciate the connections the author made with the world of magic and the world of reality to flesh out her character a bit more.
This is the direction cyberpunk took to evolve to post-cyberpunk (relationships and making the characters more approachable),  and I like to hope that the world of fantasy will continue to be brought into the present day and style by Mr. K. Line.

Comic book/hero, magic, distopian, apocolyptic, and horror fans alike will enjoy this series. Can't wait for the next one!

So glad she's writing more in this series! I also love the new characters and that the characters we know and love are still there too! I can't wait to see what happens next

It wasn't long ago that I fell in love with the first book in this series, and now I've finally had the chance to read the second as well. Needless to say, I loved this one just as much, if not more. A great follow up and build up from where the first one left off. The author has a way with words, and a wonderful way of creating interesting and intriguing characters that draw you in. A very satisfying read, for sure! More than satisfying - I loved it!

Mia and Gabe continue their story together, both so scared to hurt each other! Mia finally admitting to herself the feeling she has for Gabe is truly love!  It scares her so much she doesn't want to believe it herself but finally gives in!  Mia, between her health concerns and her best friend's pregnancy, hopefully she is able to lean on Gabe to help her get thru it all! Book 2 is much better than the first! I really could not put it down. I was so eager to see what was going to happen next. And I still want more. Really good story.

Book two continues with the story of multimillionaire CEO Hemi Te Mana and sweet Hope Sinclair who has captured his heart in book one and the adjustments and struggles they both bring to their newly engaged relationship.

Fractured started off a little slow for me.  I didn't really get into the story until about a third way into the book.  I think it was more frustration with the character of Hope.  The book started to hook me in the middle and I could not put it down!  I was really thinking this was going to be the first book I didn't care too much for but Rosalind proved me wrong!

What I loved most about this book is that you become so involved with the emotions you are feeling in the book.  I was mad at Hemi for his controlling ways and Hopes insecurities and not really being as independent as she leads on to be.  Frustrated with Anika the troublemaker that you wished would just go away.  Sadness and anger with the mean co-workers which we probably have all encountered before.  The love you can feel from both Hemi and Hope even with their struggles.  I really enjoyed the characters of both Hopes sister Karen and Hemis Koro which ties in the importance of family and their love and support.  You got me hooked!  Books with cliff hangers are not my favorite but I cant wait for book three!

Note: This book has some steamy or dirty loving as Rosalind notes in the intro.  If this is not your cuppa, this book may not be for you.

I adored this book and now I am dying for more!  The only thing wrong with this series is that number 2 isn't out yet!

What a great book! I love that it kind of back tracked a little at the beginning to show Amelia's point of view of what happened at the end of the first book!

What happened to Amelia and Kyle is so different from the first book and I love that even though we are reading about 2 different leading characters we still see the characters we grew to love in Book 1! I also love that even though it's different main characters we still get to learn more about the other characters from book 1!

It's truly a great story! I love that a tragedy only brought them closer and they grow throughout the following weeks after it. Their love grows stronger as well.

It's a beautiful story that is touching and heart felt and it deals with things that can happen in real life! Although life doesn't always have an HEA I'm glad this book did!

This book will leave you wanting more! I wish the two main characters would have found love before the middle of the book.

This book was even better than the first, and I can't wait for the third one to come out this month!

Joy is now an Elite Hunter, no longer followed around by the cameras or competing in the rankings.  She soon learns that there is more danger than anyone expects, and not just from the Othersiders, but within the city of Apex itself.
There is much more action in this sequel than in the first book, which I was personally very happy about!  This book makes up for the world-building in the first novel, and I can appreciate how the two books worked together.  The plot thickens in this story, and things go from bad to worse for Joy and the Hunters.  The buildup in this story is incredible, and I couldn't put the book down the closer I got to the climax, wondering how they would defeat the Othersiders.  The tension is fantastic, and I really hope there will be a third book as I've become attached to several of the characters in this story!

Liked this one more than the first! Typical love triangle and the reader is left wondering who she will choose... can't wait for book three!

I enjoyed this story so much more than the first book in the series! So very glad I decided to continue on.

Abraham (Bram) Evans certainly has his issues but at least he evolves through the story. He was adopted by the family that first fostered him and his twin brother at age six. Anita (Ani) Martin was also fostered by the same family but after Bram had left and was on his own. Their relationship could be described as acrimonious at best...until it wasn't.

The thing I like most about all of the characters in this series are their authenticity. Bram and Anita aren't always likable individually and most definitely as a couple. What they are is realistic, behaving more like the people we know than those we wish they were. It's that honesty that works and exposing their vulnerabilities just makes them endearing.

This was a rocky, emotionally-jammed journey that I couldn't put down. The extended family was such a major factor in the story, illustrating the dynamics and beauty of blended relationships created through foster parenting, adoption and children born to the parents. Kudos to the author for writing such a powerful and positive example. Bram and Anita felt like real people and crept into my heart when I didn't expect to feel them.

(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)

Book one was the adventure of who Garrick and Knoah are and how their lives lead them to one another. In book two we see just what each will do to keep their love alive! Each one is no stranger to pain and the ugliness that life can bring but through their love they have found peace and a sense of purpose!

The danger is higher than ever in this book and all will be revealed to shed light on that intense cliffhanger from book 1  (i'm seriously trying to not leave spoilers!) can Knoah's and Garrick's new found love be strong enough to get them through the truth? Will the danger ever be gone?

If you read book one I highly suggest reading book 2! It will blow your mind away! For any one new to this series start at book one Untouched Perfection than continue with this beauty! I assure you that you won't regret it

Loved this book even more than the first one! Scarlette and Marcus are spicy hot, even if they don't want to admit it. A really great read full of passion and romance!

I wouldn't have thought that I could enjoy as much as the first book, but Healing Rain exceeded my expectations!  It was even better!  I loved the developing relationship between Raina and Kaz after we were left hanging at the end of Saving Rain.  I like the fact that it's a love story, but not JUST a love story.  It had a lot of action surrounding the task of finding the elusive "ghost" and trying to break up the ring of human traffickers.  I cannot wait to see what will happen in book three!
