~ 4 Blaze of Glory Stars ~

Blaze of Glory is book one in the Prospect Spring Shifters series by Mandy M. Roth. This is a quick, short, and fun read about a kick ass heroine, an alpha shapeshifter, and what each of them will do to protect the one they love.

Molly has run from everything, the town she grew up in, the man who harmed her and the one man she has ever loved. She is now a gun totting and badge wearing, Special Marshall. She has grown into a tough women.

Jonathan has tried to protect Molly as best he can. He receives the best and worst news all at the same time. Now he must decide how to get the one and only women he has ever loved. He won’t let anyone stand in his way.

Blaze of Glory introduces us to a post-apocalyptic time, with gunslinging shifters, futuristic metal steads, and magic. The novella is full of action and twists on the old west. We get a whole family of HAWT shifters to salivate over and an interesting world ruled by different country territories and rules.

I enjoyed the world and different creatures Ms. Roth has created in this Sci-Fi Erotic Paranormal Romance. I liked the futuristic post-apocalyptic twist on the old west and look forward to continuing this series.

This is a novella set in the future, although that is not really gone into in much depth. Actually more of it is brought up in the middle of the book and it kind of throws off the story.
The story is okay but a lot doesn't make sense. Her friend pretending to be her didn't last long, it is not explained who Cole is to her exactly either.
I suppose in the next books these may be answered. ( )

First of all, let’s point out that cover. Holy cowboys, that is definitely one of the most beautiful cowboys I’ve ever laid eyes on! Let’s all take a moment to wipe up our drool….

Whew, ok, that’s settled. The year is 2807, the place is Prospect Springs. Jonathan MacSweeny (Jon), is the Sheriff. Jon is just now realizing how much he has loved a certain girl, Molly, since he was a teen. He intends to get her back. The old ways of the 1800’s have become the news ways of the future. Women are commodities, but pack law supercedes human law.

Molly’s father has just promised her to a real pig of a man, Gerald. Yep, I do mean arranged marriage. Nevermind the fact that this pig raped her as a teen. Well, Molly is not a little girl anymore. She’s all grown up, and a lot more clever – and now she has guns. She has a stand in, in her friend Lynette. This little presentation in town is going to be a sight to behold, for sure.

Right away Jon knows Lynette isn’t Molly, but not having seen Molly in years, he’s not sure exactly who this mystery woman is. But he can smell Molly in the air. Smell? Oh yeah, you guessed it. Shifter!!!!!

This story was relatively short. But Mandy M Roth certainly knows how to write a story. (A little sidenote for those who weren’t aware – Rory Michaels and Mandy Roth are the same person!) This story really had it all. There were shifters galore, a bit of magik, some outlaws and glorious cowboys, and it all takes place in the future! The sci-fi aspect was certainly a fun addition to this story. Prospect Springs is definitely an interesting place that I’d love to see!

As far as Jon and Molly are concerned, their relationship and reunion is strained, at best. Years of misinformation, and some stubborn heads on both of their shoulders definitely sets the scene for some hilarious and dramatic confrontations. And lets not forget the steamy heat! While this story was not overflowing with sex scenes, you definitely get a taste. But most important, Jon and Molly have always loved each other and you can really see that in everything they do.

Something else that’s awesome – this book is part of a series! Next up is Parker’s Honor, where we get to see a bit more of Jon’s brother, Parker. And trust me, you will definitely want to see more of him! I know I am definitely continue on with this series, and I hope you join in on it too. ( )
