Advance Industries #2
Advancing
Reunited but at what cost?
Because when time is involved, everything can change in an instant.
After travelling away from Advance Industries Faith and Kye find themselves in an unfamiliar city.
Facing new enemies, old grievances and dealing with the impossible decisions awaiting them.
Faith has emerged as a new woman. Determined to control her own destiny, but Kye is just as determined to right the wrongs they caused.
Which will win?
Morals or love?
Sometimes, the one we want most is the one we're best off without and love doesn't always conquer all.
They need to decide whether to listen to their hearts or their heads and they need to do it fast before their enemies close in.
Please note this is the second book in the series. Book 1 Advance does need to be read first for this to be understood.

Drawn in with book one and overtaken with book two. This book pulls no stops at pulling you into a World that is exquisite yet scary at the same time . That's how I feel about this book. It's hard to get too much into it because this is book two. But the way this author makes the New world, just wow. So much happens in the span of this book. You're not sure weather to hug the author or get mad at her! She was able to invoke emotions that bring out tear, emotions that make you laugh at the witty banter, swear out loud because you think you know, but really you have no idea.
We get a better look at all the characters that we meet in Advance. Kye will make you mad in this book but give him a chance, he makes you love him all over again! Faith shows her strength and determination more in Advancing. While she is still stubborn, we get a better feel of the true person that she is!
All the secondary characters enter twine to make this book pop. I can't wait to see more of them in Cal's book.
The evil characters…… We learn that they truly weren't all that evil. Crazy yes, misguided, definitely. But we learn a whole lot more about them. We also meet a new Villain in this story.
Overall this book rocked! As simple as that! Read Advanced, then hurry up and get this book! You won't be sorry!

Blown away!! This book had everything and more with writing that flowed perfectly. It felt so natural and so right reading it, despite its futuristic setting.
Picking up exactly where Advance left off, we get the continuation of Kye and Faith's story. I don't want to give the plot away but events provide us with the opportunity to see Kye and Faith in day-to-day life, giving us the chance to get to know them better. Both are very strong and stubborn characters so be ready for plenty of head butting but also plent of heat and sweet moments. There is plenty of intensity, angst and emotion as the battle for survival continues and there is the issue of who can be trusted.
I loved this book: the story and characters came together and you are completely drawn into their journey by some incredible writing. I can't wait to see what comes next from the incredibly talented K.A. Duggsy.

After reading the first book in this series I didn't think that KA Duggsy would be able to write something that could live up to my expectations of where the story would take us but boy was I so very wrong!
Book one Advance told us mostly about Faith's background story where as this book focuses mainly on Kye and gives you an insight of the workings of his mind and his feelings and emotions for Faith and his strong loyalty to his team of men under his command. I also liked that we got to know more about Trask, Saunders, Cal and the other members of Kye's team with them playing a larger role in this book.
There are a lot of very powerful and emotional scenes as the story plays out and I found myself aghast on more than one occasion as they were so well written and thought out that I was stunned by what I was reading but on the flipside there are also some very funny scenes that had me laughing out loud as I read about the banter between Kye and his men and the pranks they play on each other.
The relationship between Faith and Kye and their stubbornness with each other almost drove me insane but that's what makes them so interesting and gives life to their characters, I love a female lead with a mind of her own that won't willingly bend to a man's will and Faith was no exception she was so strong and determined to survive after the life she had led and wouldn't go down without a fight.
I absolutely adore this series, KA Duggsy is a master at writing this genre as each book gets better and better, she has created a world that you really could believe exists. Outstanding storytelling is what I have now come to expect from her.

So book 1 drew me in, but book 2 locked me in and threw away the key !
The authors writing style has just got better, if that's possible from book to book. The way it flowed and the structure of the book allowing you to feel everything. The story focuses on the main characters Kye and Faith and picks up right where book 1 left off.
We find out more about the relationships between the secondary characters, who are integral parts to the story and don't feel like secondary characters at all. How these relationships develop and strengthen the team. The relationship between Kye and Faith and how yet again it needs to be put to the test and whether it survives the storm. There is some shocking discoveries to the timelines and some unexpected and brilliant twists that we have now come to expect from this wonderful author.
I am floored by Kelly's ability to give me everything I need in this genre and then sum, leaving me wanting...
I'm looking forward to Cals book so much and can't wait to see where she goes from here 5 beautiful stars

K.A. Duggsy has done it again! The second book in the Advance Industries is even better than book one. Once again I was sucked into the world of time travel, something that is so interesting that I couldn't help but love the story. This series is so unique and unlike anything I've read before. Not to mention, how at every turn I was hanging off my seat waiting to see what would happen next. I thought in this book Kye and Faith would have some sort of peace. After book one finished, I knew they needed time to heal, time to grow as a couple, but let me tell you...this one will definitely pull on those heart strings. So many times I felt mine breaking, and I really want to praise K.A. for pulling so many emotions out of me.
Like I said, this series is totally different but it's so interesting to read! I loved this series from the start and now I'm a bit sad book two is over. Just know if you take a chance on this series, you're in for a awesome ride! I highly recommend checking out this series, just so you can experience it yourself. I also cannot wait to see what will come next!

In the second book of this series, we once again have Faith and Kye in new and different circumstances, but the old push and pull between them is ever present. At times it really does seem that their relationship is doomed to fail because of so much turmoil between the two of them. They are both so insanely stubborn and Faith's flight instinct is still in full swing. However, there is a new spin on things and they find out that whatever they did screwed up the future and now they must go back again. But there's a complication with Faith and things spin out of control very quickly. As much as the back forth between the two drove me half mad at times, I absolutely loved the end of this book and what was written in those last chapters by the author were quite profound.

I received this for my honest review. This part picks up exactly where Advance left you, now the story continues for Kye and Faith. I don't want to do spoilers but these events give us the chance to see Kye and Faith in their day to day lives and give us the chance to get to know them better. While both are very strong and stubborn characters you need to be ready for butting of heads but also plenty of hot and sweet moments for them. You will also feel the intensity, angst and emotion as the battle for survival goes on and there is the huge question of who can be trusted.
I loved reading this book as in where the story and characters came together and you are completely drawn into it by the writing I can't wait to see what comes next...............

My emotions were absolutely everywhere reading this! - one minute I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat, the next I wanted to punch KA Duggsy in the face (whilst crying).
I honestly think Advancing is better than Advance!!
Advancing has moved me in so many different ways..
It's extremely well written, well thought out and an altogether amazing book.
You, KA DUGGSY are a very very talented author.
One of the best books I've read in a very long time... In fact, one of the best books, period.
Advancing is deserving of 5 and more stars!

I was given a free copy for an honest review, I read book one and I strongly recommend reading book 1. I am again taken away to a different time and place, a new society. Time travel has messed with the reality we know. Can Kye and Faith fix what happen? Get her sisters back? strap in and get ready for a journey.....
June 9, 2016
Wow, wow, wow!! I thought Advance was amazing and was going to be tough to beat! But Advancing is equally as good if not better.
This is the second installment in the Advance Industries series, and you really do need to read book 1, before you read book 2. Book 2 starts off from where book 1 finished, so it's a great continuation of the story.
I absolutely loved Kye and Faith as characters. In this book we learn a lot more about them and continue to follow them on their journey, as their characters and stories develop. They have both faced a lot of challenges in the past, and they have a lot more to overcome. They need to work out where each of them are headed going in to the future or the past, and if that is going to be together or separately? Can they overcome the challenges and threats that face them both?
This book is written so well. I absolutely adore the authors writing style and love how she writes with such passion for her characters. I loved Faith's friendship with Trask, and I also really enjoyed interaction with some of the other secondary characters. I can't wait to hopefully see more of them in future stories!!
The story flows really well and I think everything is really well developed. This book will take you on a journey - you will go on a roller-coaster of a ride and spend much of the book on the edge of your seat. The book is filled with drama and suspense! I felt so many emotions reading this book - I laughed, I cried, I was angry and I was happy. Not forgetting the huge amount of friendship, love and HEAT that is strong throughout the book.
Another wonderful book from K.A.Duggsy - I can't wait to see where this author takes us next!

Faith and Kye find themselves in an unfamiliar city, though it may have been familiar at one time. They are back home, in a sense, and struggling to find their ground in a time where they are not remembered. Both have insecurities and ponder whether traveling again will right the wrong.
Advance Industries has changed drastically and Faith can only hope that her sisters have been freed and the rest of the team is in good health.
They find living among Kye's grandparents, only they don't really know him. He sees them differently and is willing to entertain the idea of them being the same people he once knew. Time travel has messed with everyone and everything. The city they once knew is now run by a different president. Is he the one behind this mess? Does he, himself, hold the answers and changed time for good?
Faith and Kye decide it is time to travel back and right all the wrongs for all parties. They struggle to remain strong together and after fearing the loss of a child of their own, they are more determined to go back and give hope and life to all.
This is a great time travel, romantic story of the human struggle to live life to its fullest. I had the pleasure of receiving an ARC. Thank you K.A. Duggsy for allowing me to enter your world.

*AN ARC was given to my blog, by the Author, in exchange for a honest review.*
I was blown away by Advancing. This love story is truly one of a kind. So much uncertainty that this couple faces. It's truly enough to pull them apart. Yet, it's their bond that keeps them together. Advancing starts off right where we left off in Advance. So many questions left unanswered. The biggest, are they where they need to be in this particular time? As events unfold, you see that this story is a perfect example of the saying, “Everything happens for a reason”. Together, with friends and family, they made history, which was their destiny. I think the most important part to realize is their struggle to not only obtain but to keep their love afloat. I'm glad to say I felt feelings while reading this sci-fi, time travel, romance. Very sweet, sexy, heartbreaking, triumphant feelings. The only thing I'd like to know is if Cal will get his story?!?! That piqued my curiosity, with a big grin on my face. Overall, if you were a fan of Advance, you're definitely going to want to read book two. You're going to fall in love with Faith and Kye all over again, the story itself, will leave your heart pounding, and the end, is one you never saw coming. This reader loved it and she's a big fan of the Author for this series.

*in exchange for my honesty, I was given a free copy of Advancing
I enjoyed Advancing...but I have to say, I didn't like it as much as I had hoped. There are a couple of reasons for this, one, I felt like she threw in some sex scenes that weren't really necessary. Sex scenes are fine, if they really make a difference to the story, I didn't feel like these did. Second, the excessive use of "babe" is soooo grating. I know that's really nit picky, but it really detracted from the sentiment in several cases. Lastly, there were a few times when certain characters over explained things excessively and it sounded far too forced.
All that said, I still liked it! There is so much good here that it far overrides the negative. Whether intentional or not, there is so much commentary on society here. From guns to political power, to technology. There's just so much commentary on society here that's really poignant. It was almost a little Orwellian in some ways. It could definitely use some polishing, but overall, I did enjoy it, and will absolutely read more from Duggsy. I would absolutely recommend this series.

This is the second book in the series and I definitely recommend that you start with Advance (Book 1) as this book picks up right where Advance ends.
One change of the past, has huge repercussions in the future, something that Faith and Kye soon realize once they get back to Kye’s time. Now it’s up to the pair and the rest of Kye’s team to figure out how to get back to Faith’s time to fix it.
Faith and Kye face many trials in this book, from family not knowing who they are, to medical emergencies, to having to face the past in order to fix it and move forward with their lives. KA Duggsy is developing into a great writer, the flow of the book is good and character development is wonderful. Thank you for introducing some family members, it makes the characters feel more real. I hope to read more about Cal and the other members of the team, get their stories and see how they progress as well.

A FIVE STAR RECOMMENDED SEQUEL!!!
I purchased this sequel the day it was published and it blew me away!!! Like the first one, I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! It had me on the edge of my seat and not wanting to stop reading because I had to know what was going to happen next! My emotions were all over the place as the non-stop action had me constanly up and down - happy one minute then worried the next. This is now another one of my favorite books that I have read!! I still really loved the chapters being written from the perspectives of the different characters, giving me a chance to have a view from within each character's head. My favorite people in the story were still Faith and Kye and I was so rooting for them! I was thrilled with the ending and will definitely read more from this exceptionally talented author!

Advancing by K A Duggsy I really did enjoy this book but to me it wasn't as good as the first one! It's didn't have as much of a suspense story till over 50% in. I could have done with out a lot of the love scenes and more involvement with the team. As for the ending I totally didn't see that coming and I love the fact that they are making it work in her time but I need a follow up and what happen in Kye's time??? I'm worried about his grandma and pa did it change for them how does he get to stay in the past will it change his life??? I'm so hoping for a book from Trask POV!!! Ugh I know this will be a series I will read over and over again!!!

At the end of the last book Kye and Faith have escaped to Kye's time, Just when they think they've won and can look forward, they find that things are not the same as they left them ! What happened? What did they do? Or not do right to cause this change.
It's obvious they have to solve and rectify the problem, the decision they make tears at their souls and with betrayal and twists to keep you enthralled the only question is, can our time traveling couple survive what needs to be done ?
An emotional and absorbing read that you'll easily be absorbed into.

As much as I enjoy this author I was sorry to see that I could not finish this book. I just couldn't get into it as I did the first.
What I read was well written as usual but it did not hold my attention as I hoped
I will try again in the future and update review accordingly
