My name is Roman Wright.

I'm handsome, smart, caring. The works.

Any woman would be lucky to be with me.

But I still find myself alone.

I'm picky, and I'm looking for that perfect woman.

It isn't until I discover that the porcelain doll I'd gotten for Sadie's birthday is alive that I begin to find hope.

Hope that the perfect woman really is out there, waiting for me.

Three cards. Three very different women.

Reliving three Saturdays in a row.

One of them has to be my ideal partner.

Right?

Game of Hearts is a fantasy romance short story about the woes of finding the PERFECT partner. 

Review.

Game Of Hearts is a short but entertaining story.

I found the plot interesting and wished that the book was a bit longer; I still had questions left at the end that I would have liked answered.

 As long as a novella, there was still a lot going on to keep me intrigued and invested in the final outcome.

Maybe perhaps a full-length novel; I'd like to explore this world a bit more; the concept was really something I could read more about.

Otherwise, I liked the idea, can one person be too fussy in picking their partner, can they compromise with what they want or are they bound to be endlessly alone.

If you're after a quick, one sit read, then pick this up.

Earth buckled under the weight of the anger of a few abandoned Gods.

Knox
The Greek Gods were something from history books as fiction. However the beings that abandoned Olympus and caused mass destruction across Earth were very much real. I've done everything I can to survive away from their reign.
Until her.
A flash of red hair and a lost, confused gaze and I was sucked into a black hole of heated desire and a need to protect.
Yet she could destroy me in a way that even the Gods couldn't.

Callie
Lost.
Confused.
Broken.
That's all I felt as I opened my eyes without an idea of who I was. Knox's no bullshit attitude challenged me to be more than an unknown. I was determined to make sure that "Callie" was not just the beaten girl lost in the desert.
Until my memories reveal more than what broke me...but how I could break them.

Review.

I was intrigued by Memories Of Fire as soon as I read the description and discovered that this book featured Greek Mythology; I will read anything to do with or about Greek Mythology so to say I was excited to pick this book up was an understatement.

What made this story unique was the setting like a post-apocalyptic world where Zeus and the other Gods have risen and, in doing so, set off a disastrous set of events that has destroyed the way humans live. Having to depend on trading items such as food and gasoline with other towns to survive.

When a young girl is dumped from a car, beaten and unconscious, Knox and his brother Eric reluctantly take her in. 

Callie has no memory of her name, who she is or what happened to her, and Knox being his grumpy, distrustful self doesn't believe her claims of amnesia, but despite that Knox finds himself falling for her, slowly bits and pieces of Callie's memories start to return, but once her full memory comes back will Knox be able to accept who she really is?

I was very surprised to discover Callie's true identity, it was an exciting twist, and I like the storyline it created.

The main characters' chemistry was well written, and I enjoyed this first book in this series; the ending has me hanging for book two, which I'm very much looking forward to.
