Fire in His Eyes by M.J. Nightingale3 out of 5Victor and Monica’s story was not what I expected. They meet in a bar, things get hot fast- and then Victor puts on the breaks at every turn. He tells Monica that he can give her one weekend a month a maybe a day during the week. And he has secrets that he can’t share. So don’t ask. And don’t fall in love with him because he offers no promises. Monica, for some reason that I still cannot fathom, falls for the jerk.And then we learn Victor’s secrets. If it was me, I would have been out of there and I wouldn’t have looked back. But the heart wants what the heart wants and Monica’s wanted Victor. Monica was a neat character with an interesting past in the romance department. Victor was not for me. He came off as a bit of a jerk for most of the book. Once things were out in the open he was sweeter, but it was too late for me. Plus, this book was a little too wordy for me. I appreciate good descriptions and all that, but some things don’t need to be said. I felt like there was a lot that could have gone unsaid and there were some things that could have been expanded upon or made more clear.This was an okay read for me. Someone else may enjoy it more than I did because it is certainly an interesting story, but I just never got that attached to the characters. M.J. Nightingale is not a bad writer and I will keep a look out for future work from her that may appeal to me better.
