Ratings and reviews

Captivated, I was married to a firefighter so I know there are women that are firefighters also. From the moment I started reading I could not put the book down. The story covers everything from divorce to religion. Conflicting views. I love the way it was written. I fell that readers will really enjoy it. It does provide a different perspective.

4 Star reviews of A Different Way (Sisters of Fire # 5) by Kathryn Shay A Different Way is book five in Kathryn Shay's latest series and this was an enjoyable read that drew me in. This time it is Battalion Chief Lynn Lucas and Brady Jamison’s story. Recently separated Lynn finds herself trying to adjust to her new life and struggling to get her life in order, Lynn is also trying to help her children to adjust to their new normal. When she takes her youngest Trick or Treating she meets widower Brady. The attraction sizzles between them from the start and although Lynn is older than Brady, that doesn’t appear to be an issue between them. Since their children are close in ages, they continue to run into one another and their relationship develops. I enjoyed this story line, although it is not my favourite of the series. However having said that it was well written and I liked the characters. It was great to see previous characters pop up whilst reading and that added an extra layer to my enjoyment.

Another Sister found her love and more. Lynne was trying to find a way to be happy and do what was right for her. She had the strength to divorce her husband, move to another town altogether, and try to raise her children. The other Sisters were so supportive, and I enjoyed them as they popped in and out with their advice. Brady kept his secret a little too long, but I found him to be a good man, very patient and accepting, and a wonderful father. Lynne and Brady felt the pull of attraction and finally worked out their differences. I look forward to the next, Brooke's, story. I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
