I read all 3 books in the Secrets and Seduction Series by MJ Nightingale, in order, one right after the other and I could tell as the series progressed so did MJ's writing.
In Fire in His Eyes things were a little stilted and didn't flow as well, but by book 3, Afraid to Hope, the story flowed effortlessly.
Each book was hot n sexy, most definitely; with characters that were easy to like. Monica's personality tends to be on the shier side, then Louisa who is selfless, to Ana who is bold and vibrant and in your face. Ana was my favorite of the 3 girls.
Victor was definitely a little more alpha than your average everyday Joe. Easy to see being ex military and all.
Teddy, Ana's beau, was so funny, and really easy to love. And I must say, up for anything. He was my favorite guy! But let's not forget about Jay. Jay is going to school, sells t-shirts at the flea market and has some serious PTSD. He was in the service also, but there's underlying reasons for his moodiness.
I enjoyed all 3 books, their angst, their relationship trials and most of all, the hot sex.
Each could be read as a standalone, but I think you would get more enjoyment out of reading all 3 in order.
If I go too far, I end up with spoilers, and I HATE spoilers, so I can't get into the trials of relationships in each book.
I've rated this series as a whole 4.0 Stars.
