I love this book so much. Bass can rescue me anytime! <3 Samantha Christy is a Rockstar! <3
I have enjoyed pretty much all of Samantha Christy’s books and this was no exception. It is full of such heart and feelings. While Bass and Ivy did have “insta love”, it somehow worked for me. I did, however, get very frustrated with Ivy halfway through the book. I don’t want to give spoilers, so I am going to be pretty ambiguous. What she had went through was absolutely AWFUL. And what she had to face was salt in the wound. But I really did not agree with her decision. In the end it worked out and I was able to appreciate the whole story. Plus I loved the ending!
Such a fantastic story that I literally had to read in one day. So good.
I’m a true believer in love at first sight but I admit that some of the story was hard to read. I completely lost it and bawled my eyes out twice. And that’s saying something! I usually never cry.
Real life tragedy is so devastating to read about and Samantha nailed Ivy’s character. I know for certain that events in this book have real world significance for many families and for an author to have me feel, cry, gasp and hope all within one sitting….you know that the author has done her job and delivered it well.
It was fantastic to see old characters show up but this book is a complete standalone with how people are introduced. Igniting Ivy is beautiful, heartbreaking and romantic. A wonderful story.
Wow Samantha has done it again.
I honestly don’t know how to put into words how this book made me feel.
Ivy has had so much heartbreak in her life and you really feel every emotion along with her, she meets Bass and manages to get some sunshine back in her live but they certainly take you on a journey throughout their story.
This book will take you on such a rollercoaster ride of emotions but you just don’t want to get off, I laughed, I cried, I felt so much during this story.
The writing is incredible and so smooth to read that you won’t be able to put it down.
Well done Samantha I think this is your best work yet.
I loved every word in this book. I cried throughout (fair warning – have Kleenex next to you), and felt every single emotion. At first I thought this was going to be a typical romance. But it was quickly so much more. This will definitely be in my top 5 reads for the year.
Igniting Ivy is an absolutely amazing story and kicks off The Men on Fire series. This book takes you on an emotional roller coaster and you can’t put it down. Sebastian and Ivy’s story is sweet, romantic, steamy, heart breaking, and heart warming. There are heart stopping moments, twists you don’t see coming, and so many moments that bring tears to your eyes. This story shows you that even when a person experiences the worst there is and feels totally broken, the human spirit perseveres and you can get your happily ever after. A truly fantastic read! Samantha Christy never disappoints and you should check out all of her books!
Bass made me so envious of Ivy! The way he shows his love, passion and devotion is swoon worthy. Samantha has given us another 5 Book (more stars if able). This maybe my favorite book so far due to the incredible depth of detail and feeling. You HAVE to read this one!
Well, Samantha did it again!
She gave us another story that had my emotions all over the place. I experienced some lows, then some highs, followed by some lows… mellowed out some, got low again… high again… (you get the picture) my emotions were all over!
I got mad at one point and put my Kindle down…
Geez!
This story has all ‘the feels’.
We meet Ivy in Hawaii. Bass we met in a previous book, but in this book, we also meet him in Hawaii. He’s on his honeymoon. Or is he?!?!?
THEY meet while on a helicopter excursion viewing the island they are on. He’s enjoying every minute. She’s crying.
They meet and eventually become more. Ivy tells Bass it can only last while in Hawaii. He’s in love though. He hopes to change her mind in the eleven days they have left together. He also hopes to find out why she is so sad and he hopes to help her heal. (Big tasks to accomplish in 11 days!)
In order to not ruin this wonderful story, I’m going to leave my review here and stop writing about the actual story.
I HIGHLY recommend this one!
You will NOT be disappointed.
This is book 1 in this new series, but if you enjoy this one, go back and read Samantha’s baseball series to meet characters you touch on in this story. You’ll definitely want to read more about Bass and Aspen’s relationship.
I forgot to mention… Bass is a firefighter!!!
well written, great story and characters. a couple of curveballs throughout that I really did not see coming. Love her writing and cannot wait to read more.
First I want to say, I LOVED IT. It’s a must read!!!
Ever had a book literally break your heart? This one did it for me. It broke me and then put me back together.
Igniting Ivy is an emotional roller coaster and you never know which way it’s going to go. I found myself cheering so hard for Ivy and Sebastian because they deserved so much happiness.
Ivy has been through more than anyone should ever have to go through. It’s no mistaking she is broken. Who wouldn’t be if they had to deal with what she did?
Bass? He’s just a lost boy with so much love in his heart and no one to give it too, until Ivy.
Samantha Christy is an AMAZING author. Her books and writing is always FLAWLESS.
Every expectation that I had going into this one was absolutely blown to bits by Briggs and Ivy!!! Samantha’s most emotional story to date. Pack the tissues!!
Absolutely a RITA contender romance, and worthy of 10 pollen coated, petal blooming, You are My Sunshine stars. LOVED it!!!
Whether you are a seasoned Samantha Christy fan or a brand new fan girl…YOU NEED THIS BOOK!
Samantha Christy kicks off her sizzling new romance series with a seamless segue between the ball field and the ball of fire just delivered by NYFD firefighter Sebastian “Bass” Briggs. I’m not even sure where to begin with Briggs. He is quite possibly my favorite SC book boyfriend to date! The capacity of this man to continuously put the needs of others above his own needs was astounding. From his decision to drop out of Juilliard in order to eventually become a firefighter with the NYFD, to his response to the young woman with the sad eyes currently on the helicopter beside him, Briggs cannot ignore his intuition of being “called to action”. There is something about flower lovin’ Ivy Greene that speaks to him, and he is determined to spend more time with her, even if he is in Hawaii on his Honeymoon!
Briggs and Ivy provide us with a love story that is so real, raw, captivating, heartbreaking, and powerful that you will not be able to put it down. You should plan on shedding tears! While there are plenty of smiles to be had, the road to this HEA is not an easy one. Both Briggs and Ivy come to Hawaii with loads of baggage, and it’s not the kind that gets checked at the airport. Tender-hearted Briggs won me over from page one; he’s just THAT guy….the one that Disney has told us only exists in fairytales. He’s seriously the stuff that every woman’s fantasies are made of. We fell for him in Stealing Sawyer, and he runs away with our hearts as he tries to hold onto Ivy Greene. He’s a chart topper ladies!! Beware.
Ivy Greene is an unforgettable heroine, and her pain nearly ripped me to shreds. I wouldn’t wish what she’s endured on any woman. Her story is one of immense hope, healing, and the power of love. If anyone deserved a HEA, it was Ivy. Gosh…she winds herself around your heart like a vine. My heart ached for this woman!! The way that Briggs was with her….SWOON!! She NEEDED him, and the devotion he felt for her. It was a magnificent love, second only to the love Ivy had for……
This emotional read beautifully blends a new cast of characters and wonderful stories yet to come, with old favorites from previous works. Out of the many things that we can cherish about a new SC book, how amazing is it that she gifts her loyal readers with cameo appearances by our favorite heroes and heroines? I love that we never lose them!
Samantha’s ability to capture our attention, and our hearts with her soulful writing style and characters we feel connected to continues in The Men on Fire series. I highly recommend you delve in with a book buddy, some tissue, wine and chocolate. This makes a fabulous book club discussion piece as well. Lots to mull over and discuss. It’s a truly remarkable story and one that you definitely won’t want to miss!!! It’s her best work to date.
I LOVED EVERY MOMENT WITH BRIGGS AND IVY!
Wow! What an emotional read. Plan on reading this from cover to cover. You will not want to put it down. I’ve read all Samantha Christy’s books and loved them all. This is my favorite so far. Her beautiful detailed descriptions make you feel like you are in Hawaii. You think you know what is coming next, and then you are blindsided. You experience so many emotions in this story. Love how all her characters intertwine in all her books. Looking forward to her next creation!
Wow. This book completely wrecked me!! Wrecked me, put me back together, wrecked me again!! Sebastian comes into Ivy’s life when she needs someone the most. I cheered for them from the beginning, but had no idea if Sebastian would be able to break down Ivy’s walls to figure out what her secrets were. I’m going to leave it at that….don’t want to give anything away…I’ll just say this is a top read of 2019 for me!
WARNING: Kleenex and undivided time needed to read this book. I thought I would start this book on my lunch hour and then spent the rest of the day hiding from my boss because I could not put it down. The longest roller coaster in the world does not have as many twists and turns that Samantha Christy put into this book. Highly emotional and devastatingly beautiful in every aspect. The characters and storyline were top notch and the amount of Kleenexes I needed while reading were by far the most I have ever used while reading a book. 5 Stars are not enough!! Stand up and take a bow Ms. Christy – a job well done!!
In true Samantha fashion she brings all the feels and then some. Ivy endures something no woman should have to and while in Hawaii trying to find herself Sebastian is brought into her path. As a firefighter, Sebastian wants to break down her walls to save her. But the question is, can he?
“Sometimes it only takes one day, one moment even, for everything to change.”
I don’t think the words exist to describe how this book made me feel. There were moments of profound sorrow and sadness, complete and utter frustration and beautiful happy endings. This book made me feel it all. I couldn’t put it down and never wanted it to end. If you have read any of her previous books, you’ll love the cameos of old favorites and a further look into future Men on Fire.
I own every one of Ms. Christy’s books both in print and on my Kindle App and Ivy will be no exception. As with all her other books, I expect to read it multiple times. If you are a fan of Samantha Christy like I am, you already know what I mean. Her characters come to life and it is more like watching a private movie in your head than reading a book. I could not stop reading, I stayed up all night to see what happened next and finish it. I can’t wait to read it again.
Ms. Christy has a way of making you have “All the Feels”. You will laugh, you will cry, you will just feel good. I admit there were several times while reading the book that I yelled at the book (making my son give me strange looks) because I knew what was going to happen before it happened. I don’t know if that was because I’ve read too many Romance novels (If that is even possible) or watched too many Hallmark movies. Don’t worry, there were several surprises I didn’t expect as well.
If you know Ms. Christy’s books, you know friends from previous books will make appearances so you can see how their lives are progressing along with “veiled” references that will make you want to read the Mitchell Sisters books again. Wink, Wink, think about the titles of those books. Be careful ladies Bass may become you new favorite.
This was a sweet novel. Sebastian “Bass” was an amazing guy. Too amazing. Like there is no guy out there that amazing. And, the way the book was written there were lots of secondary characters that make it seem like there was a book before this one. Just strange. The girl, though, Ivy? I get it. I have experienced a loss quite similar, but I just felt like once she started healing, it was hard to want to root for her. She was kind of selfish. I didn’t like that at all.
This book made me sob! Ivy really has experienced some awful tragedies. She is finally taking the holiday she promised she would. She didn’t realise that she would meet Sebastian, and that he would be a catalyst to help her talk and process her tragedies.
Their relationship in Hawaii was confusing, but also romantic and life changing. My heart hurt for them both when they were both back in New York….
Thank goodness for a happily ever after to leave me with a teary smile…..
I just happened to come across this book and thought it sounded interesting. I am so glad I decided to give it a chance. It was such a wonderful, heartwarming, and emotional book. I loved the characters and they were so easy to connect with. The author’s style of writing and the story touches your heart. This is a series that will make you cry and want to read the next story of the series right away.
