Rookie Moves: A Quick Snap Novella by Tarrah Anders – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Rookie MovesRookie Moves by Tarrah Anders
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a short story that is full of sports romance. This is an engaging, fast paced story. I was pulled in right from the beginning. This is a story about Grant who not only is a rookie but also has one of the worst images. What will happen when his team decides he needs to clean up his image? This is where he meets Emily but the problem may be that she is not the prim and proper everyone thinks she is. What will fate have in store for these two? I enjoyed their characters as they were connectable and made the story easy to read. Their chemistry is hot and I found myself hoping they would get together. They are well rounded and supportive. I highly recommend reading their story. I don’t regret picking up this book and neither will you.

The Patience of KarmaThe Patience of Karma by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in this series, they keep getting better and better with every installment. I enjoyed seeing Madeline again in another story. This is a well developed story that kept me turning pages to the end. The characters made the story engaging and fast paced. I had no problem connecting with them. They made the story easy to read and really made the story into what it is. In this book we get to see Madeline and her partner Mike back in another set of mysteries. This story reads as if there are two mysteries but it is done well and understandable. Madeline is faced with finding out if a composer’s wife is having an affair and Mike is faced with coming to terms with choices made in the past. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what Madeline and Mike have in store for us next in this story. As always, Madeline is such a great character and has been my favorite from the beginning. You won’t regret picking up this book, I know that I didn’t.

This is a little different book for me but I enjoyed the story nonetheless. This is a well developed story that brings paranormal to a new level for me. The characters bring the story to life especially my favorite Clive who made the story for me. I felt bad for him in parts and felt his determination in others. They made the story fast paced and had me easily turning pages. This is a story about Clive. He had it all until he was killed one night. Now he has a ton of questions about why and who. He communicates with the detective on the case through dreams and visions. He cannot settle until he has his answers, will the detective be able to help him? Will Clive find the peace and forgiveness he desperately needs? I enjoyed the twists and turns the characters bring to the story. I am glad I picked up this book and I think you will too.
