Excellent

J.D. Mason is a very good writer. Don't know where I have been, but I just recently started reading her books, and WOW I am enjoying each one so far. I will be going out to view her other books and purchase them as well.

Great read for adults

This book was great from cover to cover. I picked it up one day in the library because the cover looked interesting and I could hardly put it down! After reading a few random pages, I realized I had to have this book and have not been disappointed.It's a real page turner and I felt every emotion from anger to sadness. An excellent book, very entertaining and sultry as well. I highly recommend this book and author.

Sometimes you can't stay away from the fire, no matter how hot it is...

In, This Fire Down in my Soul by J.D. Mason, you're taken into the live of Faylene Watkins. She's the counselor at her husband's church in Texas. The story isn't more so about Faylene, but about three women she's counseling. First, there's Elise. She's fallen in love with a married man that she's had an affair with for the past several months. Like the story you get from most men, he loves his wife and kids, will never leave, but the woes of work, taking care of kids and home has worn on him and he finds solace in the arms of another woman. Elise feels if she is everything Jay says his wife isn't, he'll eventually leave her to be with Elise. Renee is successful and fancy free. She's all about her interior decorating company that is quite lucrative for her. She has a man in her life here and there, but nothing serious. When she wasn't looking, she found herself having an affair with her latest client's husband. Lewis loves his wife, but he can't deny the chemistry between him and Renee Tess has always been the faithful wife to her deacon husband. They have been married for over twenty years, and although she's stuck with her husband through all the infidelity, she's finding she's ready to live her life, and be happy. She finds herself interested in someone other than her husband, and she tries to fight temptation, but she's not sure how long she can hold on. All the while, Faylene counsels these women, sometimes looking down on them to allow themselves to become caught up in such scandalous affairs, but she has scandal in her life that would make these ladies lives look like child's play. This Fire Down in my Soul is a wonderful story. I easily got caught up in all the character's lives, impatiently waiting for the last page to see how it all plays out. At first, I thought there were a lot of characters, but the author did a great job of making sure you knew them all and didn't get lost in the story. It was a very interesting read that gave a perception of infidelity from all aspects of the people involved. Kudos to the author! 5 stars Reviewed by Leila J.

Good Read - Highly Recommended

I enjoyed this book. It goes to show that no one is perfect and even Christians make mistakes. You have to put your faith in God and lean on him when things get tough!!!! Keep up the good work. I
