Meghan O’Flynns, Hidden is book four in the in Ash Park Novel Series. AND this BOOK gutted ME!!! I have read each book in this series and this one was vivid, hard, amazing, and gripped me in ways that I never thought a book could. I have spent so much time in Ash Park and this just shocked me. Meghan truly has created such an amazing book, world, characters that captured my mind and my heart. I truly did NOT put this BOOK down!!! I love a book that lets me feel the emotions the characters are, I love to be able to close my eyes and picture what they are going through and that is WHY I LOVE this series, book, and the author. Her writing style is simply perfection. Detective Edward Petrosky serves and protects Ash Park, and he refuses to let a killer continue his carnage on his town. A grandmother killed on her front lawn, a finding in the basement that shocks everyone, a clues that show a child was there but no trace of this child. Then another killing and this shows the killer they all thought was gone, IS NOT and the killer is on the loose in Ash Park! Edward will do anything to find this kidnapper and killer, but the question will remain, how much he will have to sacrifice to stop the madness.

Siren Call is the third book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. It can be read as a standalone. While good, out of the three books I have read in this series, this is not my favorite. It felt like the mystery around Sirena went on a little too long, BUT, overall it was a good read. I feel like if I could have connected to the characters more, it would have been superb. And that could just be on me, maybe it was not the right time for me to read the book…that happens sometimes, and then I pick it up later and love it.
What I did love about the book is that it shows the range of strength to vulnerability that women can have. It also shows the different ways that we deal with emotional trauma and how that affects our ability to communicate and relate to other people. And, as always, the author has the ability to convey alternative lifestyles with positivity while also showing the concerns associated with it. For instance, in this book one of Jessie’s concerns is being in a relationship with someone who is bi-sexual—the fear that she might not be enough for the other person. A real fear that comes up for many people.
I think my favorite part of the whole story is Sirena’s scene with the sheriff…cracked me the heck up! And you’ll have to read the book to find out what I’m talking about. ?
Colour me impressed. Like Kuwait was painted Violet and Violet was “painted” forever by Kuwait. A plot that gets your interest right from the beginning. Kuwait immediately after war, but prospering and being the attraction of citizens from other unfortunate countries. Violet, from Goa, India leaves her pride home and comes to Kuwait to pay her family’s debt by working as a maid. Though everything is thrilling with what happens in the house, the missing maids, the weird noises, the author highlights some very serious issues that even today persists. So many graduates nowadays work in different fields in order to maintain themselves without having the chance to put that degree at use. The way Violet and the other maids were treated is something that many immigrants have to pass through even in these days. So hats down for Pamela to touch such a sensitive subject.
A book about history, life lessons, different cultures but also full of adrenaline that will keep you in your toes till the very end!
Give and Take by Lee Kilraine is book two of the Thorne Brothers Series. This book can be read as a standalone, which I did, but I get the impression you get more background on some of the other characters I’m book one so I suggest reading book one first.
Rhia isn’t like the rest of her family and she’s well aware of that. All she wants to do is prove to them she can be successful even if she doesn’t follow their chosen career path. For that reason, she is determined to make her business thrive. Step one is free office space which is how she meets the Thorne brothers and most notably Wyatt. Wyatt is quiet and is quite particular about things around the office. When he meets Rhia, she is the exact opposite of him and it truly grates on his nerves. Soon however, he realizes he quite enjoys her outspoken, colorful personality. Will Wyatt be able to step outside his perfectly constructed box and let Rhia into his life or will he keep everything tidy and Rhia at arms length?
I truly enjoyed this book. I was pleasantly surprised with the fun banter and I even got a good laugh a couple of times. Rhia knows who she is and for the most part, she’s not afraid to embrace that. Her family isn’t always in her corner and that was so frustrating to witness but she pulls herself back up and takes care of business. Wyatt had a bit of growth throughout the book as well. At times his growth was subtle but it was still nice to witness him making some changes even if he didn’t realize it at the time. I love how close the Thorne brothers are in the book. The relationships were so fun to read. I’m definitely going to read book one and see what I missed!

The Jack (The Immortal Series Book 2) by M.K. Harkins
Four Star The Jack by MK Harkins was a good change from what I normally read. In a world where Readers and Seers think that all the Jack’s are dead. But one remains and he risks everything to save the woman he still loves and her husband who use to be his best friend. Archer is very interesting character. He was betrayed by the ones held close. Everyone saw him as a traitor. I loved Sadie. She was super fun I loved her personality. I definitely took issues with how every one treated Archer. It’s not his fault who his mother was. Plus they grew up with him they should’ve understood what was happening to him. Most especially Devon. The author dis a great job putting this story together. I was a little lost at first but it quickly come together. The thing I love most about reading is stepping into a world someone else has created. This author did great taking me away fro m my surroundings and being completely focused on this book. Reviewed by @gguerrero89

Harkins – Review by Gail Guerrero
Picking up where the last book left off The Jack follows Archer on his road to redemption. What’s so lovely about redemption stories is that we get to see the complications that come with wanting to redeem one’s self. Archer was a minor character in the previous novel, and now he finally gets to shine. He seems so different than he was in the previous novel because two years have passed, allowing him to think on all the lies that led to his betrayal, lies he thought of as truth, forcing him now to come to terms with his actions and the consequences. It is very nice to see his character grow. In the previous novel, again, he was a minor character and very flat, static. That was okay because the story was not about him and he was, very much, a plot device. Everything is different now. Now he has a chance to shine, and he has that chance to shine. Archer is far more enigmatic in this novel than he was not a previous novel his narrative the description of his little twitches, quirks, and personality make him jump off the pages.
He is not the only character that gets to shine. Their’s Sadie who is the last Seer. Sadie has lived her life and isolation because the Jacks killed all the other Seers. So naturally, she harbors this resentment and hatred toward all things Jack including Archer understandably even though he is only half, Jack. Ultimately the fact that the story goes between Archer and Sadie makes the story thrive. It is a very different formula than the previous novel that only followed one person’s perspective, but now the story goes back and forth between the male perspective in a female perspective and two characters who have similar common denominators as far as their lives are concerned.
Both characters are very different than what Harkins has given readers in the previous novel. They have different dynamics that make the story flow. Their romance is also very different than the previous novel, and both characters have such defining qualities that make them likable to the reader.
It is an entertaining story, and much like its predecessor, its fast pace it keeps moving it is honestly novel one could probably read one day because it just moves so quickly. However, there’s also a lot going on in the story. Some scenes just like in the previous novel do seem a little rushed, but they do not hinder the story or distracted reader. However there’s still so much history that could be explored, there’s so much in the backstory that could make this novel have a higher level of depth than it already has.
Ultimately at the end of the day, it is an excellent novel to rain because it just moves very quickly, keeps the readers on their toes and has fantastic character development.

Redemption: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 5) By Meghan O’Flynn The books in this series are emotional, dark, twisted, and will get in your head, and this one is just like that as well. This book is so exceptionally well written that it stayed with me long after I put it down. I thought I knew what was going to happen and I find out that I was completely wrong and then I was thrust into another twist. This book had me completely captivated throughout the entire read. This story is not for the weak at heart, because it takes you into an intense, dark and twisted world. I suggest you read these books in order to have more background and it will enhance your reading experience. I also think that you won’t want to miss any of the stories in this series because they are all exceptional reads. I highly recommend this book you won’t want to miss out.

Siren Call by Phoebe Alexander is the third book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. Again I’m blown away by Ms. Alexander’s writing. I’m experiencing a lot firsts with this series. This was my first F/F book, and she did it so well with such detail.
Jessie is a police officer in Ocean City who also a member at The Factory which is the local swingers club. She plays but with women only. She is fascinated by the mysterious blonde and wants to know everything about her.
Sirena has a lot of secrets and will do whatever it takes to keep them hidden. She loves to play, doesn’t matter who it is.
Both of these women have amazing stories and overcome quite a bit. The strength they have and don’t realize just blows me away.
I managed to read the first three books of this series in just four days and now I have to wait until the next book is released and I’m trying to be patient but it’s killing me.

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. I went on a huge binge reading this series and it’s amazing.
The story between Paisley and Calvin started off slow with lots of flirting between the two of them. But when they finally got together I wanted to cheer. They were just so good together and I wanted to see the happy.
Paisley was old enough to know that you have to communicate with people but she just wouldn’t do it. I wanted to shake her to try and get her to wake up. Her back story is shocking and sad but she managed to make something of herself in spite of it all.
Calvin is a good guy who was brought up by amazing parents. He was very open and honest with Paisley about who he was but he couldn’t get her to open up.
This was another hot and steamy read by Ms. Alexander. I cannot recommend this book and series enough.

5 Star Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers Book 2) By Lee Kilraine is the second Book in The Thorne Brothers series.This can be read as a standalone but I do recommend reading the first book as well. I loved this book and couldn’t put it down once I started reading. I love the characters Wyatt,and Rhia.Wyatt likes things to be in order and is very determined to stay focused on his job and doesn’t really have much time for a social life.Rhia feels like she doesn’t belong like she’s a outsider ,She is determined to make her buisness a success .These two have chemistry but are completely the opposite of each other. Can opposites attract?Can they make a relationship work?To find out the answers to these questions I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait for the next boom.

Fisher of Men by Phoebe Alexander is the first book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. I have had this book in my TBR list and on my Kindle for quite a while. Finally got a chance to sit down to read it. My old regret is I hadn’t read it sooner.
The story between Leah and Cap was a lot hotter and more detailed than I was expecting and I don’t think I would have enjoyed the book as much if she had written any other way.
Leah has quite a good head on her shoulders for someone as young as she is. Definitely an older soul in a young body. And Cap sounds like a silver fox. He’s older and wiser than Leah, especially with his experience in the Swinging world.
I have read a lot of different sub groups in the Romance world, but I do believe this was my first foray into the swinging world. This book is not for one who gets uncomfortable during intimate or explicit scenes but I felt that the book was so well written that you can look past it.

Georgia Pine is book three in the Southern Promises series written by KG Fletcher. While it is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone. This was probably my favorite of the three stories and is Tim and Jessica’s story. Both have their own set of problems and issues and this great story is how they handle each issues along with moving forward. It has it’s surprising moments and moments of “no what are you doing?!”. overall the story is great and has a little bit if everything in it. The characters had issues you can relate to and the emotions they experienced are similar to real life scenarios. Reviewed by @krystalgaston

Hidden is the fourth book in Meghan O’Flynn’s Ash Park series. It is not my first encounter with the writer but it was my first read of the series and what a read it was! Do NOT read it late in the evening if you do plan to sleep … I faced a sleepless night haunted by the images my brain came up with when reading the book … oh my goodness! Everyone told me that you can read this story as a standalone and yes, you can BUT I felt so often that I didn’t get all the nuances because I had not read the first 3 books and did not know who was new and who was recurring and the whole backstory so … now I am stuck … meaning I will need to pick up the first 3 books before going for the last one in the series! Detective Petrosky is NOT letting me go … I am still haunted by his pain, his loss, his guilt, his grief … This story reminded me an extended version of Criminal Minds episode … the gore, the twistiness of the monster, the puzzle that needs to have all the pieces on place to relieve the big picture … I have no words but “pick up a copy and read it over the weekend”. The Ash Park series will be haunting me for some time …

These three stories follow Gigi, Ellen, Lilly, and Dr. Kite on their path of self-improvement. I really loved reading about these characters and how they change throughout the trilogy. Each character’s story is different, interesting, and with different conflicts. Overall, I particularly loved Ellen’s story! There are a few twists and turns that I didn’t see coming, which I really enjoyed. These stories are quick and fun to read.

Beckoned, Part 5: Adrift in Costa Rica by Aviva Vaughn
Stars: 4
This is Soren’s story with Elena. I’ll admit that Soren was definitely favorite character from the Beckoned series. I absolutely love that Aviva has gone back to him to tell his story. She does a fantastic job at developing her characters and reeling in her readers into the story she weaves. This story is no exception to that description. I cannot wait to see what happens next and how it happens. I also love the extras that she added at the end (a recipe and a soundtrack for the story)!

The Jack (The Immortal Series Book 2) M.K. Harkins is another example of why she is an excellent storyteller. I have read the first book, The Reader and really really enjoyed that one but this one went the extra mile. I loved all the angst and suspense, the action and all of the surprise twists and turns and lets not forget the romantic tension between our main characters. This story is enthralling and engaging and I was unable to put it down. Being the number one suspect and being separated from those he loves leaves Archer with conflicting feelings when faced between helping them or not. But is he really who they think he is? This story is well written and will take you on a ride to remember.

Simply Amazing! Meghan O’Flynn has done it again and has done it better with Hidden, Book 4 in the Ash Park Series. This series just keeps getting better and better. This book follows Detective Petrosky and Detective Morrison try and find a serial killer that has come back to Ash Park. They let him get away once and they are determined to put this guy away for good! Not only do we follow them in their work lives but we delve deeper into their personal lives as well. I’m not going to lie and say this one isn’t a hard one to read, but it is. That being said, this book takes you on a serious emotional roller coaster and you will definitely need to pull the tissues out for this one! You are either cheering or encouraging one or more characters and at the same time you want a couple of characters to seriously be destroyed! LOL Like I said…EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER! Either way, I loved this book and loved the characters in this book. The author is so good at pulling you in and making you feel like you are a part of the story that by the time you come to…you are finished with the book! Ms. O’Flynn has become one of my new favorite authors because of this series and I’m truly honored to have found her and her wonderful stories. I’m excited to see what she has in store for us in the next and final book in the series! I hope she can top this book!

Moments That Define Us A Gray Ghost Prequel Book 0 By Amy McKinley ☆☆☆☆☆ This is just the beginning. A little suspenseful and protecting your family, blood or not.
Jack is the oldest of this gang. Can’t really call them a gang though. As they are more homeless teens then a gang. A place to hang out and be safe. While Jack has graduated from high school, he feels responsible for the other students. His goal is to keep them safe from the drugs, abusive family members and the local gang. Amongst the guys is Jack’s girlfriend Jenni. Problem is she is the sister of the rival gangs leader Rex.
Amy McKinley is just getting started with this short prequel. She has set the stage and her story is a go. What a beginning it is too. This book caught my attention on page one. I hated that it ended so soon. The story is a nail biter, and I was on the edge throughout the book. I am looking forward to reading more from Amy McKinley. Let’s get this story started! As I need so much more of Jack and his family.

Redemption by Meghan O’Flynn An Ash Park Novel Book 5
5-Star Novel
Out of all of the Ash Park Novels this one by far is my favorite. Hannah Montgomery disappeared in the first book after escaping death from the Looking Glass Killer. She is discovered by Detective Petrosky and Detective Scott. She shares that she may have info on the person who killed Petrosky’s daughter so instead of hauling her in for questioning he provided her a safe place to stay.
I loved Hannah being back in this novel. I really liked her character in the first book. The author never ceases to amaze me with the detail in her books. I also like that Petrosky seemed to be remade into a better man with this novel. This novel was also an emotional one but very enjoyable. I thought I had it figured out toward the end but there was a change I did not foresee.View all my reviews

Hidden: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 4) by Meghan O’Flynn 5 stars
I’ve taken 2 days to write this review as I’m still trying to process all that happened. Ive become attached to all these characters through this series and the events in this book pushed me to the brink of throwing in the towel. I was not prepared for the emotional roller coaster this took me on. The story had me hooked and I had to finish and to say the ending leaves me wanting to pick up book 5 to see what happens would be an understatement, I NEED to read it! I can’t give away anything that happens here as it is a must read as you go. @lyndseyfairley

This novella sets the stage for the adult Gray Ghost series.
This was a lot of book for just under seventy pages! I have personally read the rest of the Gray Ghost Novels from Amy McKinley and I am still pondering if this is one of those prequel novellas that must be read before you read the books that come first or not? I for one feel like this opened my eyes to a lot of things that may have just not quite had clicked for me before after reading the previous two. I do wonder if that was intentional though of the author all along. Especially after reading this latest book. Regardless, I would highly recommend that at some point all the books in the series.
This one really does exactly what it says it will. It shows us how these teenage boys came into the adults they are today. These boys have suffered in their own individual ways. It has led them to live a paramilitary lifestyle and form a group to protect the abused and weak. In a way they could be described as a modern day group of ‘Robin Hoods’. These are the reasons why they are the way they are. I loved this one, and I can’t wait to find out what will come next in book three, Beneath the Surface!

Each novel in the Ash Park series just gets creepier and creepier. This one is sick and twisted. This book isn’t for the faint of heart. Hidden starts off with a murder just like the rest of the series. But that basement…man, why are basements so creepy? The killers in each of these stories are so messed up.
Hidden is book 4 and is part of a series that really should be read in order. The main characters, Detectives Morrison and Petrosky, are hard at work trying to make Ash Park a safer place. But evil ranks high here. And it seems as if its an evil they already know. References are made to situations from the first three books so if you haven’t read the first ones you will be wondering about certain things. This series is so worth the time.
O’Flynn’s writing makes my heart pound and my breath short! Her stories also make me hug my loved ones a little extra after every chapter! I would recommend this book, this author and this series to the reader that likes gore, mystery, and heartache. This is not a fairytale with rainbows and unicorns. No sparkly sunshines here.
My Hidden Life by Necie Navone is A Brothers of Camelot Prequel. Alessandra learns very early on in her life how dangerous being part of her family can be. It is a lesson she is taught in the most harsh of ways. And yet Alessandra knows that she must step up to be the leader of her family, to be everything she knows she can be and more. This book was brilliant. It has you hooked immediately. The writing completely draws you in. I liked how the POV varied as it made the book even more interesting. Alessandra was a great character to read about – she was strong and determined. This was a great book and I cannot wait to read more.

The Jack (The Immortal Series Book 2) By M.K. Harkins Rated 5 stars!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. This is a great sequel!! It blends well with the first one (The Reader). The beginning starts out two years after the ending of all Jacks. Archer is living a life he doesn’t want. He secretly watches Ann and her family from afar. Since he is supposed to have perished and possibly committed murder he can not approach or he will be committed to prison after Devon works him over. So when a slip of a girl approaches Archer to warn of impending doom for Ann and her family. What will Archer do? Give himself up for Ann again? Or let her perish? What a great start right?!
I enjoy hanging out with these characters. It started in The Reader and it continues here in The Jack. We still get to see Devon and Ann but we are able to learn more about Archer (yes!) and Lucy. Lucy is a force to be reckoned with..I can’t wait to get her story (Hopefully). Archer…..well he can’t catch a break! He seems to be in the same position as the last book. Love triangle! Grrr! That poor boy! He has skills and is cute with his blond looks. He is fun and that smile is charming. When it isn’t covered by sadness and guilt.
There are new characters (good and bad) that we meet. They all add some fun and adventure to the story. A few we get more insight as they have a more active role. My favorite was Sadie. She has some fire and stubbornness to her. Plus she is a forward thinker which will help out the main crew. Her and Archer are kinda like oil and water….at first.
The story drew me in and kept my interest. I loved the idea of the Readers, Jacks and Seers. Plus they live in a mountain! Seriously how ingenious! The gadgets they have are so cool! It’s a fascinating world these people live in. The story moves forward nicely and I struggled to figure out who the bad people were. Which was awesome! I enjoy stories that intrigue me and keep me guessing. Ha ha that’s what makes me speed through….so I can figure it out. The author keeps me interested by giving information out but not too much. Very well done!
This is easily a favorite series and I look forward to reading more. I can’t wait to see how Archer, Sadie, Devon and Ann fare in future stories. Oh and I don’t want to forget Lucy!

I give The Jack (The Immortal Series Book 2) by M.K. Harkins, 4 stars. *This review may contain spoilers from book 1.*
Archer just exists now. His once best friends hate him. The woman of his dreams is in love with the man he considered like a brother. He cannot move on. But when a woman warns him that his friends are in danger, he cannot only not get her out of his head, he thinks she might be of a race thought to be long gone. Does he warn these people who now hate him?
Sadie is the last seer, and it has been foretold that she is to kill the last Jack. They are an evil race and must be permanently eradicated. But then she starts events that have her surrounded by Archer and the Readers. The more she gets to know Archer, the more she feels for him. Are they sure he is the last Jack? Can she go through with it?
This is such a great book. It has been a while since since I read book 1, and it took a little bit for me to get back into it, but once I did I could not put it down. There is so much going on and so many twists and turns that you will never see what happens next. Incredible writing makes this story even more interesting. Sadie is a great new character and I like how she interacts with the others while keeping her secret to herself.
I recommend reading book one first, but I highly recommend this book and series for lovers of fantasy with some suspense thrown in for good measure.

The Reader (The Immortal Series) by M.K. Harkins Rated 5 stars
Wow! What an amazing story! The world building was perfect. The characters drew me in and didnt want to let go. They were fun, serious, different and strong willed. I even chuckled and said “Oh!” A couple times. I loved the story of the readers, the jacks and the seers. Ann, Archer and Devon were Intriguing and I just kept turning pages until I knew all about them and all their secrets. I was amazed by Ann more than once. She might have no memory but those memory muscles….they work perfectly. Ha ha. Right Devon?? I loved the idea of “The Lost One”. Some of the history was tedious but it was needed as well to understand the future story. I enjoyed learning about where The Readers lived and how they made things work. Very smart!
If Ann is the Lost One she will need to soul bond with either Devon, Archer, Lucy Or Marcus. What happens if more than one feels the beginnings of the bond. Who will Ann choose?
This is not my first book by the author. I enjoy all of her stories. They are inventive and interesting. This one was no exception. There was action, action and more action. The wording flows nicely and the story catches my attention. I loved the world and the characters.

Give and Take is the 2nd book in The Thorne Brothers Series by Lee Kilraine. There are 6 Thorne brothers and I’m sure that each will have their own book. Although the series revolves around the 6 brothers and their construction company Six Brothers Construction, each book can be read as a stand-alone. I hadn’t read the first book and did not feel that this hampered my enjoyment or understanding of this book. The six brothers had an awful childhood and spent most of it split up and living with foster parent. They set up their company as a way of them all being together. In Give and Take we have the story of youngest brother Wyatt. Wyatt feels that he owes his brothers so much as, being the youngest, he was shielded from much of the horrific life they lead. He is training to become an architect as this would save their company a lot of money and he feels that this is his way of paying his brothers back. When the brothers decide to help out a new company by giving them office space, we are introduced to Rhia Hollis. Rhia is everything that Wyatt is not. She’s loud, full of fun and a total scatter brain. It’s a match made in hell. She’s the family black sheep in a family full of scientists and she’s trying to prove to her family that she can be a successful business woman. I loved reading Rhia and Wyatt’s story. Their interactions when they have to share an office are hysterical. They could not be any more different if they tried. I also loved the interactions of Wyatt’s brothers. The way that they do everything to get a rise out of him is so endearing. I was gripped to this story right from the very beginning. I adore the characters in this book and really want to read the rest of this series to see what the author has in store for the rest of the brothers.

Alterations Trilogy by Jane Suen contains the three books Alterations, Game Changer, and Primal Will. So glad this came out in a set. I have recommended in the past to read the books in order because they pick up after each other. This is a creepy sci-fi dystopian set of novels dealing with our need to improve ourselves. Alterations: Alterations by Jane Suen is a futuristic, psychological thriller. The story is about three women who get an implant put in them to help them with different aspects of their lives. The story is interesting and different from other stories I have read. I enjoyed the three different female characters and the differences between them. They all had relatable aspects and problems that many women deal with daily. The doctor helping them seemed interesting also despite not being in the story much. I really enjoyed the concept and the story. I would have enjoyed a longer book with more background and information about the characters. There seemed more that could have been explored. I hope to read more from this author in the future and will keep an eye out for her books. Game Changer Game Changer by Jane Suen is the second book in the Alterations series. I recommend reading the first book first in order to get the full impact of what is going on in the story. This book picks up after the first and continues the stories of the nefarious Dr. Kite and the three women whose lives he changed. I enjoyed getting more in the story of Gigi, Lilly, and Ellen. I continued to hope the best for the women and that they would recover from their experiences with Dr. Kite. This book is again full of suspense and mystery. I wanted to know where the story was going and am curious as to where the last book in the trilogy will take their experiences. Primal Will Primal Will by Jane Suen is the third and final book in the Alterations series. The conclusion of the story did not let me down. I recommend reading these in order because one story flows to the next. I was really curious as to how Gigi, Lilly, and Ellen would handle their experiences of being subjects of Dr. Kite. Each of the women had a different experience but still had after effects to handle. Dr. Kite is on the run. Will the women allow Kite to run and hide? I like that each of the women are different from one another but with this common thread in their lives. They are strong and a bit fierce. I’m glad to have read the entire series and go on this adventure.

And the mystery of Ash Park continues!! This series must be read in order
This part of the story follows the Prosecuting Attorney Shannon Taylor. She is a hard woman. Burned by her cheating ex husband who happens to be her boss. She’s tough and has more guys friends than girlfriends. She is beginning to question what she believes is the truth. She loves her family. And someone is trying to get her to quit.
Then there’s death. Death of the bad guys, death of the people who know too much, and even death of loved ones. It’s the loved one’s deaths that make this story feel too much like reality and really brings on the tears. But having a support system, just that one person to lean on, truly helps. Shannon Taylor has that with her best friend, Curt Morrison. He’s also a detective. He’s Petrosky’s partner, from book one.
Conviction has a little of everything, the murdering psychos, a little romance, and all the feelings that go with them. This author really keeps me entertained with the story line, as I really never know who the murderer is or what is going to happen next.
I enjoyed this story and can not wait to read the next in this series!
The Romance in Rehoboth Boxed set by KL Montgomery includes the first three books in the series. What a great way to get several lighthearted stories together. These can be read out of order but why would you when you have them all together. Fat Girl Fat Girl by K.L. Montgomery is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. These are standalone stories but with characters that carry over from one story to the next. Claire is going through a reinvention of herself after her divorce. She is fat and had a lifelong challenge with her weight. She is a blogger/journalist who decides to join the online dating world. Her character is relatable and fun. I could relate to her because the character is the same age as myself and so were her references from her past. I liked the story and read this quickly. If you are needing a fun read this is for you. The Flip The Flip by K.L. Montgomery is the second book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. This can be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel. The story is about Andrew and Sonnet who were academic rivals in high school. When both jointly inherit a house ten years after high school can they put their differences aside? Andrew is the underachiever who enjoys his life. Sonnet is the overachiever who wants to continue her education and lead girls into the sciences. The two decide to flip the inherited house. There were elements that reminded me of “The Money Pit”. This was a fun read that kept me from putting it down. I wanted to see where the story went. The characters were relatable and realistic. I hadn’t read the first book in the series but am now going back to catch that one before continuing to the next book. I hope that the stories are as fun as this one. Plot Twist Plot Twist by KL Montgomery is the third book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. This can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading in order because some of the secondary characters were introduced in earlier books. Lindy wants to hide from the limelight but is convinced by friends to become involved in a local theatre production. Meric is a newly divorced accountant by day but a handsome actor after work. Can Lindy overcome her insecurities to allow Meric to be more than a friend? I have enjoyed the other books in the series and this one did not disappoint. The characters have real issues and to face not only themselves but also those around them. KL Montgomery gives another strong female character and reminds us that there are nice guys out there.
