Some things are stronger than metal and stone, like loyalty and love. Which makes the loss of either, a blow that strikes clear through to the heart.Loss has hit the Walker family hard, with the death of the family patriarch, and having the fiance of his grand-daughter accused of murdering him. If that wasn’t enough, someone is determined to hurt both Heritage and Kal Burton, so it seems their … so it seems their fates are linked in more than Kal’s love for Cici Walker.
There’s a mystery to be solved and a lot of people determined to solve it, including the man who holds the reins of Heritage, Russell Walker. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep his family and their legacy safe, but it’s getting damned hard to know who he can trust. Right now, there’s only one person. Naomie Taylor. The woman who stirs his blood and makes him wish he was twenty years younger.

I love the fact that other characters from previous book have also featured in this story. Great integration into the storyline and superb writing style.
As always another great book. It seems someone wants to hurt russell’s family and can’t figure out who or why. Ever since his dad was murdered and his daughter’s fiance’s been held responsible even though he was shot too. Naomi is devastated too, she loved his dad and is going to do whatever she can and call in friends to find out who is causing all the damage around the ranch. I so hope these two souls can get together. Plenty of action, family ties and love to go around.
This is intense, suspenseful and sweet. We finally know about Naomie’s secret past, and Russ is getting closer to giving in. Mace finds love, twice over, then suffers a shocking injury. Naomie helps Amber hide what she’s doing while on vacation. Both Delaney and Edward are pressuring Kal to sell his land. There are more serious incidents of attack on Heritage grounds. Naomie invites some friends to help out with Kal’s trial and to try to figure out why someone would want the land so badly. The next book should be informative and intriguing.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
The second entry in this new “Heritage” series I’d even better than the first. The main characters in this one deal with a lot of drama and issues while trying to figure out their relationship. It’s great to see or hear about characters from other series. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series.
Russel Walker is in a good place. In addition to owning Heritage, the most successful quarter-horse program in the world, he is also seeding fields to attract pollinators and runs wind and solar fields program to produce energy. His friend Kal Burton is interested in building a green city and has enlisted Russ’s help. Things are progressing well until something goes wrong, very wrong. Suddenly, there is danger everywhere and you have no idea who, what or why!
This book is intense. There is a great deal going on that will keep readers focused, and flipping pages like crazy. Forget the exhale. You have a while to go before all things become clear in this series, but don’t worry, there is plenty of “heat” and family drama to keep your attention focused.
I received a copy of the book with no obligation and have chosen to review this book of my own accord. I really like this series and the individual stories that are appearing as the books progress.
I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of The Fire You Hold . I also purchased a copy for my collection . I will start by saying in my honest opinion this series and story just seems to get more intense , more Suspenseful , more action packed . This story is Fan – Freakin – tastic . The characters are wonderful . I was pulled in from page one and read till I finished and I want more .
This is Russell and Naomie’s book but it includes all the Walkers . I love that the characters from Mrs. Stones other stories are either mentioned or appear in this series . This is so full of mystery and romance . I felt like I was right there with the characters .
I really enjoyed reading it .
Russell and Naomie’s struggle thru their relationship due to Russell’s age hangups and fear she will decide at some point to leave him . He doesn’t understand it doesn’t matter to Naomie’s . She loves him for who he is . This is the second book in the Heritage series .I’m truly looking forward to reading more in this series . A favorite story of mine for sure .

The Fire You Hold is book 2 in the Heritage series by Ciana Stone and WOW…
This story picks up with the funeral of the Walker patriarch and the fiancé of Cici Walker who’s accused of his murder, Kelvin Burton. While Cici and Naomi are trying to prove Kelvin didn’t do it… more strange things are happening at Heritage and when one question gets answered another pops up…
Such a well written book that flows from one scenario to another. Lots of suspense, steamy romance, heartbreaking, complex relationships, twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat!!
Really need the next book, please….
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book !
In this book, we lay to rest a beloved character.
However, the mystery of who is trying to hurt the Walker family continues.
I loved to read more about Naomie as well.
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
When Robert Walker, patriarch of the Walker family was shot and killed, his granddaughter Cici’s fiancé, Kal, was suspected of the crime. As the family was divided on his possible guilt, Naomi urged them to get their own crime scene expert. Could this expert prove his guilt or keep him from facing a murder charge and trial? The family are still dealing with acts of vandalism at Heritage without knowing who or why the family is being attacked. Is someone out to destroy Russell, who maintains control over Heritage land, or his brother, Richard, who has plans to run for the highest office in the land. More suspicions arise when there is an offer to purchase Kal’s property, which is adjacent to Heritage, and then for Heritage land as well. What is it about their land that is causing someone to be so interested in the property? The Walker family is a large and proud family and they will not rest until their questions are answered. A totally engrossing story as almost the entire family comes together to guard their lives and their heritage. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author.

Once again Ciana Stone gives us another great read filled with drama, danger, suspense, a bit of romance, and loads of action in the 2nd book of the Heritage Series. Naomie & Russell finally make strides into a romance that has long been in the making, due to Russell’s worry of their age gap. The roller coaster drama and mystery continues for reasons still to be revealed, as the vicious attacks are ongoing to the Walkers’ Heritage Ranch by unknown forces. A fantastic series, I can’t wait to read part 3 as they get closer to finding who is attacking their family. 5 Stars!
**I was gifted a copy of “The Fire You Hold” and freely give my honest opinion**
The first book, A Death in Texas, ended with a shock. When I started reading this book, I expected to have forgotten some things because it has been a while.
I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I remembered everything that happened in the first book. It was just that memorable.
This book definitely did not disappoint. It was equally as good, if not better. So much is going on, but it is not hard to keep track of what is happening.
Naomie is the thread that holds everything together. She is the one that keeps the Walker family moving forward. There is something almost mystical or spiritual about Naomie.e
A story full of action, mystery, danger, and suspense. A family trying to hold it together and survive the evil that is pointing in their direction.
More of Naomie’s story is told, but there is much left to be told in this saga, and I am really looking forward to the next book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy.
The Walker family drama continues…
Book 2 in the “Heritage” series continues right where book 1, “A Death in Texas”, ended. There is enough drama, suspense and relationship issues in this book to make ANY soap opera jealous. I swear I can hear the theme song from “Dallas” in my head every time we visit Heritage Ranch! And, like any good soap, we are left wanting more at the end of the story. Hopefully we won’t have to wait long.
*I received an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book which I am voluntarily reviewing*
We start right where we left off With A Death in Texas, The situation doesn’t look good for the family or for Kal for that matter but the family is not responding well after loosing Patriarch. Cici is feeling left out while making sure Kal has what he needs to get released. Naomi seems to be a God send helping everyone see their way through the pain of loss. Then there is the fiery situation going on with the Ranch, as well between Naomi and Russell dancing around each other. But a dark horse has come to town to kill, steal and destroy to get what the want. So many secrets and under currents you on the edge of your seat . Cannot wait for next installment. Great Characters and story line. I was given an ARC from the author without obligation. An honest review has been provided.
So glad for more of the Walker family & the Heritage Series. I’m enjoying these characters & the crazy web that’s holding them together & the mystery behind all the trouble.
Family Threatened
The Walker family just keeps on giving. The book is just the latest edition to keep you in the loop of happenings with the family. Every line in this story will keep the reader engaged or should I say invested in what is going to happen next.
The author has written thought out story line the flows from one situation to the next without leaving this reader unsatisfied. This book is so realistic that you can visualize the characters and scenery clearly. This is like the best drama ever.
All I could think while reading was Ms. Stone got me again and I could not put the book down until it was done then got mad because the next book is not available.
My recommendation is if you are interested in reading about this family and their friends pick this book and the others for a good time reading fest you won’t be disappointed.
Love reading about this family and hope to entice other reader to this author to encourage her to continue writing and this is why I read and review books that I enjoy.
There’s a lot going on here. Emotional, very intense and suspenseful as the threats to Heritage are accelerated to a very dangerous level this time. Naomie is like super woman, great character who seems invincible and really loves this family. There is so much drama and so many couples. I am a little disappointed with the Naomie & Russell “romance” portion, just wasn’t enough for me. Russell loves his family, I am not convinced that he really loves Naomie though. Regardless of that, this story adds some shocking twist and the series mystery plot does open up a bit more. Can’t wait to read how Heritage will pull out in the end. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author.
Finally the highly anticipated book two of the Hertiage series…it was worth the wait.
Catch up with Russell and Naomi, and all the Walker family in “The Fire You Hold.”
Don’t worry that you might not remember what happened in book one, Ms. Stone gives us an overview to help bring us up to speed.
In this book things heat up between Russell and Naomi and apparently love is in the air for many of the Walker men. Also, old foes
are once again threatening the Walker’s and thoes they love.
Happy Reading:)
This is a fast-paced action romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the book. The action is intriguing, suspenseful, and heartbreaking. It’ll have you guessing what’s going to happen next up to the very end. From the very first in the series, you are drawn easily into the story and continue to be thoroughly invested in the players’ dynamics. The characters are extremely interesting and well-developed, and the storyline is filled with complex relationships and gripping, captivating conflict. While the relationships are growing and beginning to get their HFN, you will be left anxiously awaiting the outcome of the developing story. This is a wonderful addition to this amazing new series. It’s a wild roller coaster of emotions that will keep you on your toes, bring you to tears, and warm your heart, and I guarantee it’ll be one of the best stories you’ll read.
4.5 Stars
The fire you hold is the next book in the Heritage series and I have been trying to read it as quickly as possible because I know another is due out soon!
The book, much like the first focuses on a few different couples but this time focuses a bit more on Russell and Naomie and the happenings at the ranch Suffice to say, the sabotage is continuing at the ranch, but a couple new characters that are friends with Naomie are introduced, with the aim of helping the Walkers figure out what’s going on. A couple surprises headed your way and more
Keen to start on the Senator’s Daughter in the next couple of days
This one was a delight to get into continuing on with the characters you had begun to know and their dilemma’s. This will also be a big picture on how deep can love go and what it can do. There is also a big mystery that has pieces that will be hard to fit if found. Russell is one character I found so interesting and can not get enough of with also his daughter neck to neck in capturing a reader. War is raging with the enemy I do believe under estimating the love of a family but this author will hold you captive too.
