Pulled Me In and Didn't Let Go!
This story pulled you in right from the start and never let go and I was upset when I had to stop it to do real-life things.😠Maxine and Grayson have great chemistry and they really brought the story to life. I look forward to starting Ignite and continuing with this series

A top read
Bravo! This book had me INVESTED! I had to keep reading because I was dying to know what would happen next. I think I have fallen in love with Nicole Fanning’s writing. I love how this book was so dark yet had great comedy in it! Jaxon Pace has made it to the top of my book boyfriend’s list. And as for Natalie, I can’t wait to see her grow in her strength! She went through so much stuff in this book (most of it unexpectedly) for her to come out of it with a game plan makes me love her even more!
This book has mafia romance, single dad, jealous ex, protective hero vibes. It’s a must read and listen! The Narrators are Grayson Owens and Maxine Mitchell. The amount of emotion they put into this book was chef’s kiss. Grayson literally BECAME Jaxon just as Maxine BECAME Natalie. There are no other Narrators that I could see voicing these characters. Their chemistry was just to good! I cannot wait to get into the next book!

Catalyst
Heart of the Inferno, Book 1
By: Nicole Fanning
Narrated by: Maxine Mitchell, Grayson Owens
WOW! I love a good mafia romance, but this is so much more! Nicole Fanning starts her Hearts of Inferno series with a bang! This is action packed, alpha male, strong willed female, a cast of incredible secondary characters and an adorable little girl! I don't even know where to start! Natalie finds herself in the right place at the right time to foil a kidnapping. Putting herself in danger to save the child seemed like a no brainer, but it has catapulted her into a world she didn't expect. Jaxon, the head of the mafia takes her in, and is completely enraptured by her. But he doesn't do commitment and this new feeling he is getting finds him at a loss. He just cannot get enough of her. And with his lifestyle, danger is always lurking. Things pick up and the suspense, twists and turns and excitement lead to a cliffhanger that is having me cue up book 2 immediately! I need to know what is going to happen next. It's the best kind of romantic suspense and I can't get enough!
Maxine Mitchell and Grayson Owens start out this storytelling with a phenomenal narration. Mitchell comes in as the slightly hesitant, yet stubborn Natalie. I love her voice, always picking up nuances of the character and creating a personality that fits the bill. Grayson Owens is new to me and a better alpha male voice could not have been picked as Jaxon. He is commanding, demanding and delicious! I love this combination as they create this fabulous world and look forward to the next book!

Extraordinary!!!
I absolutely love this book from start to finish. Nicole Fanning is a new author to me and I’m so glad that I found her through Maxine’s Earbuds on Facebook. Nicole you are a phenomenal author and I cannot wait to read all of your books. The way you write just pulled me to enjoy the ride while sitting on the edge of my seat. This is one of the best slow burns I have read in a quite a while. Nicole Fanning thank you so much for writing this book so I could fall in love with your literary world that I cannot wait to devour in the next few days.
