100 Pages A Day...Stephanie's Book Reviews

I absolutely love historical fiction and read a lot of it; I love to learn history this way.  I also enjoy reading science fiction, fantasy, horror, thriller and non-fiction science.

Red Nights

— feeling wink
Red Nights - Shari J. Ryan

Felicity Stone awakes one morning to a world of red, her house is on fire.  She barely escapes with her life, but when Felicity wakes up in the hospital she finds that her house burning down was just the beginning of the tragedy.  Unknown to Felicity, her brother Blake was also home at the time of the fire.  Blake did not make it out alive.  Now, Felicity’s perfectly normal life is thrown into upheaval.  With no place to go, she stays at her coworker, Aspen’s place.   Her ex, Tanner, comes back into her life since he was one of Blake’s best friends.  Then, to top it off, Felicity is named a suspect in the arson of her own house and all of the evidence seems to point to her.  The only good thing Felicity has going for her is a new guy that she met, Hayes.  Hayes seems perfect in every way; he is a former detective, very easy on the eyes, sweet, caring and understands what Felicity is going through.  As Tanner points out though, he might be a little too perfect.  Now Felicity is stuck not knowing who to trust when all she needs is a friend.

 

 

This romantic suspense kept me guessing the whole way through.  Not only is there a great mystery built into the story, which kept me interested in the plot and the characters, but an amazing and steamy romance.  The characters are complex and real.  I immediately felt a connection with Felicity; she felt a need to be perfect in her home, job and with her family, which became very stressful.  Aspen is the perfect crazy friend that Felicity needed, but also caused her added stress with her wild ways and her own secrets that she kept from Felicity.  Tanner seems like the one who got away, but he also had his own mysterious motives.  Alright, Hayes is the perfect guy.  We all need a Hayes in our life.  I loved all of his cheesy jokes about his dog, Lady, and he was perfect for Felicity since he was also a bit broken and going through a rough spot in his life.  The romance in Red Nights is amazing, going from sweet to hot and heavy and I loved reading the natural progression of Felicity and Hayes romance.  Furthermore, the mystery in the plot of who burnt down Felicities house and why kept the story moving, it was the perfect amount of suspense and I felt like I was solving the mystery along with Felicity and Hayes.
