Nicole Austin

I read this book via an Amazon KU [KINDLE Unlimited] download.

While this book has gotten dedicated to all young Christian women who have gotten confronted by challenges in their lives, as well as frustrations, I found it useful for a woman of any age. Christian women who have gone through these experiences in their lives can wind up questioning their faith in our Lord and Savior.

As Christians, we need to remember that we possess the knowledge that with the Lord always being close to us, there’s nothing we need to fear. We need to remember that He is our Shepherd and that His staff will give us comfort. His presence will strengthen our resolve, and we’ll become courageous because of this.

Sometimes, situations arise in our lives that cause us to become tongue-tied and unable to speak our minds when we should be quite vocal. These include issues where we should be beseeching our Lord for His intervention. Scripture in ACTS 18:9 reminds us of the following:

“Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;”

Christians always need to remember that the Lord wants to be with them, especially in their time of need. By remaining silent, they forget their hope lies with Him, and all they need to do is to ask, and they’ll receive. All that they need to say is something that will revere His magnificence.

What the author, Nicole Austin, has done in the pages of her book has been to given her readers a 21-day devotional journey designed to rekindle their faith and their relationship with the Lord hopefully.

For wanting to restore the lives of her Christian sisters to the faith they’d once possessed, I’ve given Ms. Austin, 5 STARS… (lisätietoja)

Ummmm, well it was better than your average erotica, but not great. I liked the story, but the writing was pretty darn bad. I know others don't mind that, but I can't stand it. Also, the lead is suddenly in love with two guys, but only one of those storylines is developed. There should have been some lead-in to her falling for bachelor number 2. I gave this 3 stars because the story flowed and becuase it is nice to see some solid polyandry, not just a wild night or a wild week, but a long term relationship… (lisätietoja)

Melting Ice is the fifth book in the SEALs On Fire Series by Nicole Austin. While I have not read this series before I found it could be read and enjoyed as a standalone. This series is a bit different from the norm because several of the books are written by different authors, like Desiree Holt, Brenna Zinn, Samantha Cayto, Allie Standifer, and Regina Carlysle. I have Nicole Austin before and was interested in another story by her and I found this one.

Sam, aka Ice, and Syndra have been together for years working there relationship around his military schedule. Syn loves Ice a lot she was willing to work around his schedule but lately she wants more. She decided that this trip with Ice is her last. She wants kids, married and a spouse that is home more than away. Sam has been in the military for almost twenty years and is ready to give his heart to the women he loves.

The chemistry between Ice and Syn is blistering hot. The sex scenes were a wonderful mix of hot and steamy fun. Syn was the perfect match for Ice in the bedroom and out. As long as Ice communicates with Syn these two are a great match long term for each other.

This story felt like much long than the 52 pages it was. It was packed with emotion and it also showed how hard it’s on the families of the military when they are away from home. While I was not fond of the ending, I found it very realistic. Overall, I will be picking up the other books in the series shortly.… (lisätietoja)
