**********MY REVIEW*********
This book is a prequel in the
Chemical Attraction Series--Their Rigid Rules is the last (or first)
book in The Chemical Attraction Series. In my opinion, it isn’t
necessary to read the other books before reading this book--the
same characters are involved in the series; the stories are completely separate
and unique on its own.
Dr. Stuart Morgan is a
history professor and former marine who has been targeted by a killer. Taylor
Valentine is anxious to start her new life and she didn’t expect that her new
teacher at Western Michigan University would factor into this new life plan.
Taylor has fallen for her new teacher Dr. Stuart Morgan. Stuart didn’t
expect ever to fall in love or ever fall
in love with a student but that was until he met Taylor. It is a tricky
situation as someone is intent on killing him. He has
to have a bodyguard following him around all the time.
As things heat up between the
history professor and the college student, so do the threats and the danger. So
do the risk of them losing themselves in the taboo relationship and the
passions, in the feels and the heat.
While all this is going on, bodyguard Joe is thinking and revisiting his
feelings for Taylor. A girl he has always had feelings for but never said
anything to.
This is a story that has excitement,
mystery, danger, passions, angst and suspense. This is a great prequel to the
series because I was able to get a great backstory before reading the series
yet pretty much I have the backstory here. I enjoyed what is here and cannot
wait to read more into the series.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****

The Kindred Code is the second book
in the series and there is such life going on in this book. The connection between
Taylor , Stuart, Joe, and Eva is even
stronger in this book. I felt so bad for Stuart because of all he has been thru
and yet felt he was being stupid. My heart went out to Taylor and how she was
impacted by everything. Eva comes into a new relationship in this story and I
loved how she finds life after college. I loved how everything changes from book 1.
This was a great story and I loved getting meshed into all the characters into
the story. I really was rooting for one couple and I wanting to see HEA and
hoping it would happen. Reading everything as it unfolded kept me on the edge
of my seat but what a great way to read. I look forward to the next book in the
series.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
