I love Ps Kris' writing!

This book has been so helpful to me in my journey moving in the office of prophet.  I love what Kris says...it doesn't take prophetic eyes to see someone's junk...true prophetic ministry sees through the dirt to see the gold in people.  I liked this thought.  It's not sugar coating people's sin, it's helping them get free in Christ.

Down to earth teaching about a supernatural topic.  I love his work.

I really enjoyed Ignited. As soon as I picked the book (e-reader, technically) up, I was sucked into Kris's adventure. I absolutely refused to stop reading. The next book in the series cannot come soon enough!

Kris is a great main character. She is relatable, snarky, and realistic enough that I started seeing her as a real person. Also, she has character growth. By the end, I could see how she was stronger! And I felt her connection with her grandma. Another favorite character, for me at least, is Nathan. At first, I was not a fan of him. At all. Actually, I kind of wanted to punch him when he wasn't giving us information. In the first bit of the book, he is pretty darn silent when it comes to what is happening to Kris. By the end, however, it was a very different story. I now think of him as sweet and protective instead of a jerk.

I really liked the adventure aspect of the book! While the two characters, Kris and Nathan, are traveling I loved how all the action played out. Also, the book never lagged. There was always something happening that kept my interest, whether it was a fighting scene or something fishily magical. However, the book wasn't overly fast paced with no time for development.  Also, the plot was perfect. It was creative, with twists, and not to predictable.

The well developed (I'm all about story development today I guess. Sorry!) romance was another favorite part in my opionion. It starts out as witty banter and a bit if tension between the two characters. There is no insta-love or insta-kissing. I am breathing out in palpable relief as I type that sentence, which no one can blame me for, right? Also, the banter and tension was fabulous, if I do say so.

The editing in this book was so amazing! I don't think there was a single mistake which always points to the fact that the author and team worked super hard to make this the best book possible!

 Overall, this book was a quality read that I hope many people will experience! I laughed, felt my heart beat out of my chest, smiled, and gasped while reading Ignited. Who doesn't love a good book that creates such wonderful emotions? I cannot wait to continue the series!

4/5 Stars

The book is so well written. I need to buy the next book in the series. Krista keep on writing as I like all the books you have written.

Kristie Cook is one of my favorite writers and she knocked me out again with this story. I literally could not put it down and even read through the night in a few spots. I love the way she fleshes out her characters. I can see the whole story in my mind and I loved it. I was a little confused, as were Leni and Jeric, in the first book. There was so much going on and not a lot of explanation. I'm glad that a few of the questions that were raised were answered now. I laughed and I cried and I was even shocked more than once. Can't wait to read the last book!!

I am so glad I discovered Kara Louise and her P&P variations!  She's an extremely gifted writer and I've read Only Mr. Darcy Will Do and Mr. Darcy's Voyage several times.  I enjoyed Mr. Darcy's Rival very much too!  A slow burn of longing that builds on both sides...whew!  How does she come up with this stuff?  I look forward to much more by Ms. Louise.

I was so, so excited to read this book!  I love the Saint Squad series and I love Traci Abramson's books.  Happy is the day a new book comes out for me to delve into.

Craig is the newest member of the Navy Seal team dubbed the "Saint Squad".  He is still trying to find his place among this tight knit group of men.  Craig is a defender.  He takes his jobs seriously and he is dedicated.  He just oozes all strong man, all the time.

Sienna and Craig meet when Craig thinks he is saving her from a stalker guy on the beach.  Oops, wasn't a stalker, but Sienna is impressed with Craig and asks for his help with her upcoming movie.  I enjoyed the growing relationship between Craig and Sienna.  It had a natural flow to it even though the circumstances were anything but normal.

This book is a romantic suspense.  It's not heavy on the suspense so even a "won't read scary" girl like me can read and enjoy it thoroughly.

Content:  Clean!  No swearing or sexual content.  LDS fiction- some religious elements mentioned as the characters are LDS but nothing preachy.

Loved it, Kris! You're definitely in touch with the "human psyche." I could relate in more ways than one. I don't re-read many, but this one I will.

BOOK RATING: 5
PANTY CHANGING RATING: 5

This was my first KA. OMG.  It was so fantastic right from the get go.  I don't think I have ever experienced an author who consistently "Hits the ground running" with every freaking book she writes.  There's no, Oh yeah, I'm 10% in and waiting for something to happen.  Nope.  It's, WHAM!  You are RIGHT THERE in the middle of the best angst in the effing universe.  I love angst.  I did not realize how much I loved angst until KA.  KA is the angstiest author.  LOL!

Anyway, I believe I have read approximately 20-something books of KA's now.  Every time there is a new release?  It's like I'm a 7 yr old on Christmas Eve!  Seriously.  I don't even get that excited about my own family. Sorry, but have you READ KA?

Absolutely loved this one!  Kristy never fails at bringing us her "A" game when it comes to writing.  Cannot wait for what she has in store for us next!!!!

Kristen Ashley is one of the ONLY authors that delivers again and again. WHATEVER book/genre she writes I can be assured that Ill enjoy it. Its rare to find an author that is this versatile, talented, and has such a unique voice that it will NEVER get boring.

Of course, throughout the years and the 40plus KA books Ive read there are some books that stand out more than others. The MAGDALENA series has been one of those series. Every single book has been heartbreakingly beautiful, deeply affecting and an emotional roller coaster. She gives these couples a second chance, often later in live, that involves big families, kids and ex-partners.

Im at that point where I don't even need to read her blurbs anymore because who cares what the book will be about its a KA book  enough said!!

So, while reading The Time in Between I was reminded again and again why I liked KA as much as I did. Kristen Ashleys unique brand of dialogues, her vivid and detailed description, her sense of fashion, interior design and her absolute god-given talent of writing some of the BEST families Ive ever had the pleasure of reading  makes her a JOY and a devour-in-one-sitting kind of author.

OMG  and The Time in Between had the BEST cameo EVER!!!! Rock Chicks rejoice!!!! I was smiling so HARD!!! I loved, loved, loved the connection to Denver, it was such an amazing surprise  she couldn't have written it any better.

The beginning of The Time in Between was a little slow, and I had some trouble understanding Cadys family ties, but that was forgotten as quickly as I got deeper into the story.

I have to mention it again, there is NO ONE that writes families as well as KA. There was so much love, affection, loyalty, and fun in The Time in Between. Her character (most of them) have the most wonderful family values that I wish everyone would experience in their life. And the women have the best husbands of all. 

Reading a KA novel makes me HAPPY!! And Im super glad that she writes like crazy because I would hate having to wait an entire year for the chance to read another Kristen Ashley book.

Of course I am loving it once again. I was introduced to this series when Ward had written the first five books. I have anxiously awaited each new release since then. As a literature teacher myself, I truly love her writing style. She does not fill her books with "fluff"-useless unrealistic comments by characters. Every word is uniquely crafted to fit the wide range of personalities. I still haven't found another author who consistently does this. Thanks for another great read with "The  King". Please keep going with this fascinating series!

I absolutely love Krisas work. Her books are truly well laid out I haven't had a coloring book that is this relaxing in a very long time I will definitely be buying more of her books

I absolutely could NOT put it down! I finished it in about six hours. I loved the way Kristopher's back story was incorporated into such a fast paced, action packed story! It was so different from the other books and that just added such a new dynamic with the norse mythology added to the mix. Kris may be my favorite of the Kings!  But I'll have to reread them all again to decide !

I personally know Keith ( I work with him) and now that I have read this book, I feel like I personally know Kris.  They have opened their hearts, minds, and souls to the homeless in Bowling Green, KY.  I am inspired by all of the selfless hours they have given to the the broken hearted souls by the "bridge".  I will never pass judgement again.  Now I know when I see a homeless person on the side of the road I will tell myself  .... "there's a story there"!  This book makes me realize that being "homeless" could happen to ANYONE at ANYTIME, no matter WHAT!  So be careful not to judge them because it could be YOU!  I am looking forward to hearing the next set of stories when the 2nd book comes along.  I believe Kris and Keith are angels sent from heaven taking care of those less fortunate in my hometown!  I pray that Greg is happy and at peace now that he is in HEAVEN!

This book has been on my to be read list for a while and while on vacation I did get some reading done after a crazy kindle/pool incident.  This was from an author that I have never read before.  I found this to be a refreshing take on the concept of vampires mythology.
The heroine Kris (Kristina) Chase is a creator/necromancer who brings back people as vampires.  She then begins finding powers on her own.  She is not some simple little girl who needs rescuing.  She is a kick ass necromancer with no problem fighting any supernatural.  After receiving the bad news her sister Torra is kidnapped Kris must decide to embrace her destiny or not.
Then tossed in there is the irresistibly hotness that is Rush Davis, the leader of the Necromancer Center.  Kris finds herself hating everything he stands for but I love the chemistry and interactions between the two as Kris is still wildly attracted to him.  Hang in there Rush she will figure it out soon!
This book if full of supernatural creatures  Vampires, Necromancers, ghosts, ghouls, phantoms, and hell hounds all with unique spins on them.  Tossing in some excitement, suspense, action, romance with a dash of humor and this book will surpass all your expectations.  Pulling you in from the beginning and as you get to the last page you are like what NO there should be more!  *take that as a hint Cliffy up ahead*  I personally can not wait for the next book in this new exciting series.  I am going back to my to read list to see if I can find another exciting surprise like this one was!
A few lines that cracked me up:
Shes not my girlfriend. Is that so?  I could cut the tension between  you two with my fangs,
Well, hell, Thatll teach me to play hard to get.
dealing with her is like trying to teach an old poodle how to piss outside.
5 Stars!!
