More Than Enough

I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This book is a wonderful start to a new series. This author has done extensive research into the field of firefighters. To that end, her books are so very life-like, I feel that I am right there in the middle of the action. It is almost like a movie being played. What really helps with that feeling is the book is written in a multiple POV format. Getting that glimpse into the minds of the different characters, really makes them more human and more easily understandable. Trish is one of a group of women firefighters. The Sisters of Fire all graduated together 10 years ago. That training that they went through formed an unbreakable bond between them. Trish (Mac) is in an abusive relationship with a policeman, Rick. As the relationship between Trish and Rick further deteriorate, a new man enters Trish's life, Nathan. He is a kindergarten teacher. The difference between Rick and Nathan are like day and night. I adored Nathan and how he reacted to Trish's situation and helped her to overcome. As well as introducing the Sisters of Fire and the relationship development between Trish and Nathan, the author does a wonderful job in laying the ground work of the other Sisters of Fire and their stories. I so look forward to reading those. This is a slightly sexy story. There is a reference to the sexy scene but it was glossed over in a manner, that I would suggest a parent to say yay or nay to someone under the age of 18 in regarding to reading this.

4 Star reviews of More Than Enough (Sisters of Fire #1) by Kathryn Shay I was excited when I learnt that Kathryn Shay had a new series releasing, particularly since it is a series based on strong women and I couldn’t wait to dive in to More Than Enough. The writing was strong, with characters that were easy to relate to and a story line that you cannot help but become invested in. This is firefighter Trish “Mac” Mackenzie and kindergarten teacher Nathan Mitchell’s story and I was hooked from the first chapter. This is an emotional story that brought me to tears on occasion; having been verbally abused as a child and then by her boyfriend, Mac has no self confidence. When Mac and Nathan meet he feels a connection, but since she already has a boyfriend he knows it cannot go further. However once Mac gets away from her abusive boyfriend, Nathan is there to offer support in any way he can. I really loved Nathan, he is so swoon worthy, loyal and supportive and I fell hard and fast for him. The chemistry and connection between them is obvious but Mac needs time to heal emotionally and build up her self confidence. Ms. Shay handled this subject matter with dignity and respect, she isn’t afraid to write about characters that are flawed, human if you will and who are not afraid to seek therapy and help when it all becomes too much. I am excited to see what Ms. Shay has in store for the rest of the series.

MORE THAN ENOUGH....Katheryn Shay #1 Sisters of Fire At the academy five woman and two teachers bonded a name of Sisters of Fire was given to them. The first we meet is Trish and called Mac . We meet Mac a firefighter, took a few showdowns for the others to realize she was not going to be a pushover. With Banks checking the second story of a house fire, stairwell is gone, and Mac getting a woman out and to safety. Didn’t want to have shoulder that beam hit looked at, would they accept why the bruises. Going home, a day off for Frank, with beer and a game on, saying sorry, that was not enough .Living with him and his abuse of throwing her across the room. His older brother was a cop and drank too much, together disaster. Growing up in a traumatic situation Mac recreated it by choosing a man like Frank. With her job she is a winner. Would a major event have to happen before she could and would take the steps to work on her self esteem and how to chose a healthy relationship Good story that was handled well, and steps needed to get out of it, Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
