Melt: The Steel Brothers Saga, Book 4

While I've read books 1 through 4, I didn't decide to write a review until completing number 4. The books are well written, characters are developed nicely and the story line is interesting although disturbing. I read all 4 in about 3 days. Which brings me to my next point...I think I am tired of books with cliffhangers forcing me to pay and pay and pay. These four books could easily have been two very excellent book including what is obviously coming in book number five. This is the first time I've read books from this author and I must say she writes well enough to make you feel a part of the story but I'm probably won't be reading any others. My dollars are just as important as my enjoyment of the written word. If you're already a fan, I know you'll continue to enjoy her books but for me, there are great authors out there who are willing to write a complete story without breaking it up into as many pieces as they can for a few extra bucks! I willing to look for them!

I enjoy the story and I am dying to know all the details but dragging this out over several books (that I have to keep paying for) is becoming rather annoying. This whole thing could be wrapped up in a couple of books. I wouldn't mind that. And I do enjoy getting to know each character. However, the details of this one life-changing event being dragged out is starting to really ruin the whole thing and bore me. I'm starting book 4 now, but I feel like if I even get through this one, I won't care to finish the rest. I've also found too much repetition within the whole saga. Phrases, emotional descriptions, behaviors of the characters.. I know its common with reading different books by the same author but I feel like some things could be switched up a bit.

So far Jonah's story is my favorite, at least the way it starts. Jonah is struggling with failing to protect his brother as result he travels in the wrong areas and allows men to beat him up. It is getting to the point that these escapes are becoming more and more deadly. Jonah needs help. He goes to Dr. Carmichael because she was so helpful to Talon. Dr. Melanie Carmichael isn't a good solution to Jonah however, because they are too attracted to each other. Continuing in therapy will not be professional. Melanie has her own problems fighting a malpractice suit.What I like about the way this series is developing is the fact that each brother has three books to tell the love story but the connecting mystery is woven through the entire series. It is a very interesting and suspense filled series that I'm looking forward to finishing. Love these Steel brothers.

****SPOLIERS AHEAD****OMG!!So I wasn't sure how I would feel about this book since it was about two new characters, Jonah and Melanie, and not about Talon and Jade. I loved Talon and Jade from the first three books but Jonah had always peaked my interest.You see at the beginning of this book that Jonah has so much guilt about not being able to help Talon twenty-five years ago when he was abducted. Talon finally convinces Jonah to go talk to Dr. Carmichael, Melanie.Jonah and Melanie had an instant attraction when they met months before but Melanie felt that as his doctor it was inappropriate to act on those feelings.Jonah isn't the only one dealing with personal issues. Melanie had a patient commit suicide months before and it affected her confidence in her ability to do her job.After going back and forth, Jonah and Melanie finally hook up. This happens multiple times but you come to realize that both of them are using sex to escape the present and their problems.There's so many different parts to this story. Along with Jonah and Melanie trying to figure out the relationship that they are going to have, you have Jonah and his brothers, Ryan and Talon, trying to figure out the secrets of what happened to Talon all those years ago. You also have Melanie trying to figure out where she went wrong with her past patient who committed suicide.I don't want to ruin the ending but all I have to say is February cannot come soon enough."No wonder I was drawn here. To you. Because you're the one person who might just understand."

I first want to say Helen did it again. I can't believe that this was such a page turner and I hated having to put it down for anything. I forgot where I was and just wanted it to go on and on. Then I got to the end and did not see it coming.Joe is such a great dom that I was hoping that it worked out with Dr Carmichael. I was shocked he had the destructive behavior he had.And in comes Dr Carmichael to help and in so many different ways;).Her story is crazy. It makes me wonder if she was taken by the same kidnappers of the Steel brothers past.Joe just has to save her.But until then I will just reread to see what I missed with the audible book reading to me.Helen Hardt is a great author.

Well, I need to talk about author, Helen Hardt. She has just blown my mind! I received "Craving" for free and it was fantastic, so I bought the remaining 8 books in the Steele Brothers Series. Then, I bought all 9 audiobooks because I love to listen to the voices. The narrators were perfect! The storyline was amazing; not what I was expecting at all. I love how a male narrator and female narrator took turns, back and forth. Each book tells part of the overall story, and it will keep you reading/listening till the end. No laggy parts. I highly recommend this brilliant series!

I'm surprised that I didn't break my kindle. i was so absorbed in this book series that I couldn't stop reading. i dropped my kindle several times because I would fall asleep reading. I've already preordered the 10th book. my only problem is I'm so involved with these books i want it to go on forever.

I think the story is good, keeps you hooked and captivated throughout- I was really pleased with book 4 as it was from a brothers perspectives rather than Talon and Jade in the first three- however this is as done really well and you still have a lot of interaction with the previous main characters.My BIG problem however is extremely off putting for me in purchasing anymore...... the books finish at 68% and at £4.99 each, that is ridiculous!!!!

I've read all of these. Mainly because once you have invested in the characters then you need to continue. Okish books. I enjoyed them. Enjoyed the characters but the sex scenes are a bit of a joke. Mostly when described from the male perspective. Not a way a man would describe those interactions at all. And so often it becomes tedious and repetitive. Ok for a bit of easy reading.

I think this is an interesting story line but it's now starting to feel milked now that were in book 4. I always say I'm going to wait until the next 3 in the set is out but I just can't wait.

Where books 1-3 were based on Talon Steel, Melt (book 4) is Jonah Steel’s story. As with the previous stories in the series, this one contains some very steamy sex scenes but also has a really good continuation of the underlying theme. The story overall is developing and getting bigger, and yet again ends on a cliffhanger which has me keen to progress to book 5.

As the other books in this saga they are brilliant,... Need to read the rest. But at £5.00 or more per book and not very many chapters/chapters not very long I feel it works out too expensive to complete the whole series. I read the 4 within a matter of days but the cost is too high. Which is a shame as would love to continue reading them until I find out what happens at the end.
