As I was readingTouching Smoke (Touch Series Book #1)there were bits that described some of what Fallon and Isaiah had been through, their history together and where it all began.  I say touch because it was nothing like what I experienced reading this book.  Touching Eternity is amazing, it goes back and gives us readers the ultimate, descriptive story about the beginning.  The back story I should say.  It touches on all the why's of Amalie and Isaiah past and history together.The story is very detailed, descriptive, easy to imagine all that the story has to offer from beginning to end.  In detail everything Garrison had done to Amalie, and as her father he should never have done half of what he did.  The pain and torture her father put her through.  A madman, a very weak word to describe Garrison.  The thought of self blame, as Amalie blames herself rather than blaming her father for everything. Isaiah, oh my Isaiah, her only hope, the love she learns she has for him, her anchor, her very breath of life."I won't fall for you again.  I won't let you hurt me again.  Stay away, Isaiah.  Go back to...whatever her name was!  She can have you." ~  AmalieThe choices Isaiah has to make, decisions that will change his life forever!  To follow his dreams or to stay with the woman he loves...  I just love Isaiah, his character is just everything that a male character should be, especially in this story.  He's Amalie's everything, and to leave her could mean her death at the hands of a madman.  How can he ever let her down, ever turn away from her, ever choose to be without her.  Oh the choices Isaiah must make...  The thoughts of where he could be in life keep him distracted, thoughts that should be of where he is headed and what he has to do for his love.'There was no one else.  There never was.  He would have fallen to his knees right there and then and confessed it all, but she was running away from him.' ~ IsaiahI loved every minute of the story.  Learning the history of Amalie and Isaiah allows for me to move forward with ease to what will come next.  I cannot wait to see where the author takes Fallon and Isaiah in her next installment of the Touch Series.  I want more twists and turns, mystery and suspense, energy and speed.  I love reading a page turner that takes me to a new place, I've never been before.  I will be following Author Airicka Phoenix in her journey of writing & publishing, reading her stories as she continues to write them.
