This was a good read, starts kind of slow but picks up the pace after a while. I really enjoyed reading about a middle aged plump protagonist who is close to reality. Ready to ready the next story on this series
Love this book, Torrie is middle aged, divorced, and wishes for a man in her life but when she bumps into Quinn. He is a Liege Lord clan of shifters known as The Kindred , (How’s that for a shocker) and Torrie is his Promised Soul. A great story that has all the emotions/actions/reactions that makes a person just have to read it. There is also villains that bring dangers into Torrie and Quinn’s lives. It’s a must read book and I’m onto book two. I’m positive I’ll enjoy it just as much as I did this one
this book was amazing! she is a older woman who is no longer married and looking for the one. he is a shape shifter looking for his forever mate. danger is around the corner and he will protect her with his life. read to find out what happens.
What a story. So interesting with the fact they can shift into any animal. The whole Promised One rather than just a mate. The story itself was an enjoyable read. I will say there were parts that could have been shorter. There was some parts that did drag on. There was not much conflict in this story, unlike most books that have a lot of drama. Tori was a little to quick at times to just accept things, but she did think things through and decide what was important. I am looking forward to reading more from this series.
really enjoyed this story. It was well written and paced well. The characters are engaging and I can’t wait for more.
This was just okay for me. It didn’t really grab my attention. The premise was good but it wasn’t believable to me. The interactions between the characters just didn’t feel natural. Other then that it was a sweet romance.
A real enjoyable read with it’s ups and downs for our loveable characters. I loved the book and it’s mystical clan. I hope the second book is as good as the first.
Torie and Quinn’s story is amazing! Highlanders and shifters, what more could a girl want in a romance! Between scary relatives and raging storms, Torie and Quinn have a time of surviving and making their home together.
Torie Masters is a middle-aged divorcee who wishes her life was like the paranormal romance novels she loves to read. A man who is her true love and loves her completely. Quinn McGrath is a centuries old shapeshifter who has wanted to meet his mate for many years. Meeting Torie has sparks flying and the word MATE floating through his head.
Wonderful book. Loved every minute of it.
A book about Promised Souls and shifters with hot hunky men!! Not a bad story, very easy reading with many different characters and a descent storyline. Torie meets the man of her dreams at a bookstore, Quinn is everything a woman could ever want, with an added bonus..he’s Kindred, an ancient race of warrior shapeshifters!!!!! a good book for a lazy afternoon read or curled up in front of a warm fire!!
New author for me, great story. Right off the bat this story is different from most shifter stories, the main character is a middle aged grandmother looking for love… she then finds it in someone straight out of one of her books she loves. The book weaves a nice tale of excitement, a little mystery and a lot of love. wait to read the second one.
Phoenix Rising is a wonderful love story, filled with a great “magic” touch. The storyline and characters were well thought out. This story is about a shifter Quinn McGrath, who falls in love with a human Torie. It was so refreshing to read about a man who truly treasures his true love. Their love is so unconditional. Pheonix Rising is full of action, trust, kindness, adventure and hope. Hope that it does not matter what gets in your way, the bond of a family will prevail.
I did find that some chapters were a repeat of things already covered, but over all this was an amazing book to read. I’m going right into the next book for sure.
To me reading is an escape. A place where I can go to relax for a little while away from real life drama and stress. My own little world. Ms. Granger is one of those writers who paints a clear picture of the world she is creating for you. Her writing flows very easily, and feels like it comes to life naturally on the pages. She makes it seem like this could happen to anyone of us, like its possible in real life, even though it’s fiction. I love how her women are real, not some stereotypical woman that the world believes we should all be. In Phoenix Rising Torie is curvy, middle aged, and worries more about her family than the way she should look (not that she isn’t beautiful, but she loves herself with her curves). Quinn is how I picture my dream man to be, loving and caring and has a soul deep need to just make Torie happy. Phoenix Rising touches all of my wants in a book; fantasy, romance, a little steamy action, some drama, and a lot of happy. Can’t wait to continue reading Ms. Grangers other books!!
Phoenix Rising Book 1 of the Kindred series is a great read with wonderful characters set in the modern world. It is a story filled with love and passion, intrigue and action. Quinn and Torie begin the saga of these alpha warriors and their Promised Ones and there are more to follow. Highly recommended to all lovers of PNR.
