My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this series, I enjoyed it just as much as the previous books. I highly suggest reading the previous two books to get to know the main character and help enjoy this series. This is a well rounded story that has characters that are creative and brings the story to life. Beck is talked into taking tennis lessons by her sister. What will happen when a tennis pro is murdered? I highly recommend finding out what happens when she helps the detective on the case. I really enjoyed the characters and what they bring to the story. They kept me engaged, this was worth the pick up.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Killer Blonde is one of the best books I have read recently. Once you get into the story, you will be on the edge of your seat and not be able to put the book down! This was the first book I have ever read by Allan Evans, and he will definitely be on my must-read authors list. Killer Blonde is a suspense-filled cat and mouse game worthy of James Patterson. At the beginning of the book, you will immediately be drawn into the killer’s web of horror. Allan Evans successfully pulls humor into the story with character jokes and levity. I enjoyed that even the minor characters are likeable and fun to read about. The main character, Cade Dawkins, is lovable and a man you would want to protect you. You will identify with Cade’s honor and either want to be him or be married to him. This is your next must-read story!

5 stars!
Excellent! I was hooked on this book just as much as the first one. This book can be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend reading them in order, as it gives some history on the other characters. I was excited to see this book was about Jaxon. I liked the connection of Jaxon standing in for the current chief of police who happens to be Kaylas father. My heart broke for poor Kayla having to deal with an abusive boyfriend, and it seems he has no problem in taking it to the extreme of trying to kill her. I swooned when Jaxon would stop at nothing to help Kayla and make sure she stayed safe, I love second chance at love. All of the suspense, drama and romance really made for an awesome story. Amy McKinley is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors with the way she can tell a story, I was kept on the edge waiting to see what was going to happen next and was blown out of water with the twists and turns I didn’t see coming. Who is up next!?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another Amy McKinley story with love, misunderstandings, adventure, missed opportunities, 2nd chances and sexy times. Another story worth reading. Bound by Secrets, Deadly Isles Special Ops book 2 is about Kayla and Jaxson, the past they share and the future they want. But the present is trying to kill Kayla, making the future look anything but bright. This story starts out with violence but with hope as well. The journey that Kayla takes is full of surprises, including the one that got away, Jaxson.

I enjoyed this story with all the emotional ups and downs the characters had to face. Looking forward to reading more in this series and seeing what happens next with the other Special Ops.

What a great Psychological thriller. Killer Blonde by Allan Evans is just that kind of a book. Quite a little twist on the victims in this one. The story moves along fluidly and is an easy read. It was an enjoyable read. I especially like how Detective Cade Dawkins thinks and his constant reflection about how he enjoyed his work and the people he worked with. For such a dark subject it is balanced by the Detective’s positive attitude. This is a new author for me, but he will go on my list of read again writers. A good clean read.

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans was a great read! This book had all the elements of a well written novel. It had thrills, suspense, a bit of mystery, some romance and a touch of dark humor that made me laugh throughout the novel. There wasn’t really anything that stuck out to me as different from other crime novels, except the state trooper element. That was interesting. I loved the cover, it was what originally made me decide to read this novel. And the synopsis finished the decision for me. This was a very interesting read that grabbed me and held my attention. I can’t wait to read more, and hopefully see Cade again in the future!

Beck’O Rourke, her carefree sister Lizzie and her adorable grandmother are back with the handsome police detective Devon Mathis in the third installment of the series, A Tennis pro to die for. I have read the previous two books and I am a huge fan of Judy Moore Cozy mystery’s books.
This one is by far, the most complicated of the plots. Beck and Lizzie decide to take tennis lessons at a racquet club in the country club in Florida. Her instructor gets into a hit-and-run accident and is killed. Beck decided to step in and helps out Devon to solve this intriguing mystery.
Similar to the previous two books, the plot is very fast paced. The relationship between Beck and Devon is sweet and is still blooming. The characters are endearing and heartwarming.
I liked this book and look forward for more from Jude Moore.

Capturing Fate is a psychological thriller/suspense/action with a dash of paranormal and romance added in. Abbie Roads is one of my go to authors, and I’m so glad I read this fast paced thrill ride.

When gruesome tragedy uncovers a serial killer’s twisted agenda, Daughter and Dolan must help one another if they hope to survive. Can they stop the body count from rising, or will they find their only purpose from the start was to be pawns? This is a standalone novel but to better understand Dolan, I recommend reading book 1 first. Abbie Roads is a wonderful author. She doesn’t disappoint the reader. Step into another wonderful world full of twists and turns. The best way to describe this series is combination of paranormal and suspense.

Witness (Ash Park Series Book 9) by Meghan O’Flynn
Genre – Crime/Hard-boiled Mystery
Page Count – 324 pages
Cover Designer – Fresh Design
Detective Edward Petrosky has seen his share of horrors—abused children, terrified assault victims, and of course, the vicious predators who don’t stop killing until someone like Petrosky puts them away. It’s no wonder he needs a little whiskey to take the edge off.
So he’s relieved when he gets a call on a burglary—he’ll take stolen laptops over dead bodies any day. But he quickly learns this is no ordinary housebreak. There’s a considerable amount of blood at the scene, though the owner doesn’t appear injured. And Petrosky recognizes him as a man accused of sexual assault years prior; his psycho relatives are more cult than family.
When the neighbors identify their burglary suspect, the case goes sideways—it’s not possible. How could a woman who burned to death along with her husband nearly a decade before, a relative of the homeowner, be the one fleeing the crime? If the witnesses are correct, and the woman faked her death…that means she murdered her own husband. What possible reason could she have to return?
It doesn’t help that Shannon, Petrosky’s surrogate daughter and wife of his murdered partner, appears to be at the center of the conspiracy. Years of deception have masked a far more intricate web of lies, filled with secrets that implicate the people Petrosky loves most. And with these criminals tying up loose ends, Shannon’s life is at stake.
Petrosky must decide how deep he’s willing to go, knowing that exposing the truth could rip apart a terrified woman’s family…and his own.
Addictive, fast-paced, and unforgettable, Witness is an electrifying ride through a maze of family secrets, desperation, and perseverance. For fans of Criminal Minds and The Blacklist, Witness will keep you guessing until the last page.

This is the kind of story I can get down with! Intense, fast-paced, and plenty of action as you are brought into Dolan and Daughters story. And while this this the second in the series, you don’t need to read the first one to understand this one. Dolan is an FBI agent and after Daughter meets him, she knows there is something between them. Circumstances prevent that at first and they endure a rough road. Their journey is an epic read!!!

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans was a story full of suspense and drama with a dash of comedy. The crime aspect of the novel made it such a fantastic read. The thriller had me at the edge of my seat the whole time.

Investigator Cade Dawkins is given a time-sensitive case the pressure of getting the job done. The governor is putting the pressure. The killer has plans that no one can expect. They turn the investigation into a cat and mouse game; no one knows who is the cat or mouse.

Suspense and thriller isn’t my usual read, but this was such a good book that I might read some more of these kinds of books.

WOW!! What a book! This is my first read by this author and after reading this I have no idea why I haven’t read everything available.

This one had me all messed up (in a good way) right from the start. I loved every single thing about this story, even the parts that totally ticked me off LOL I was completely unsure till towards the very end how this story was going to play out and I love it when I read a book and it absolutely can not be considered predictable.

Not going to give any part of this away so will mention how I connected immediately with these characters, I also could visualize everything written and really felt like I was there. This was amazing. The very best part for me is that this is not my genre, I normally can not get into stories like this, but this author blew those thoughts away and I want to read so much more of her work now!

It seems this is the 2nd in this series but I only know that from looking at the book list so it absolutely can be read as a standalone. I was never confused and never even caught on that there was another book before this one.

Read this, I’m not even kidding..it is a WOW kind of book that I know I will want to reread in the future.

Kayla and Jaxon were just wonderful to read about, I loved them both from the very beginning and I was so invested in their story throughout. I loved that when they met again there was this lovely genuine connection between them. Both of them were really lovely characters. There were some unexpected twists in the story too which made the story exciting to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The second in the Deadly Isles- Special Ops series, Bound by Secrets is just as exciting as its predecessor! Once again, we are in the beautiful city of Honolulu, this time with Jaxon Hale and Kayla Kane, his high school best friend’s little sister. Kayla is outrunning her abusive ex-boyfriend when she runs into her childhood crush while returning to her parents’ home; Jaxon is working as an interim-police officer while Kayla’s father- the police chief- recovers from heart surgery, and is pleasantly surprised that she is back in town, but worried about the man who hurt and scared her so badly. Bound by Secrets follows the two former friends and lovers while they work through their shared history and heartache, and through the current threat to her life.
Just as before, I could not put down Amy McKinley’s book once I started!! The characters are richly created, and the scenery is as beautiful as in reality. There is a bit of cliché in a girl and her late brother’s best friend finally coming together after years of hurt between them, but the impact that the late Keiran Kane had on his friends and family adds a kind of sweet twist on the tale. I’m excited for the last installment to come out in March!!

Bound by Secrets is the 2nd book in Amy McKinley’s Deadly Isles Special Ops series. It is pretty similar theme as the 1st book. I really love these books, and cannot wait for them to merge into the Gray Ghosts series. While you do not have to read in order, you really should read book 1 as well, because they are both great. This story focuses on Jaxon, another Hale brother, and Kayla. Kayla is escaping a bad relationship, one she nearly died from. Upon returning back home, she runs into her childhood crush. Despite her feelings for him, he is the best person to stay with, and keep her safe. The characters both have good backstory and their chemistry is great. I love that they have a history and are friends before lovers. McKinley is so good at keeping things a secret, and keeping the readers hooked throughout. I did not piece together all the pieces of this puzzle until the very end. I did not see in coming, much like book one. I highly recommend this story, and cannot wait to read book 3, which I imagine tells the story of the last Hale brother.

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #2) by Amy McKinley was a great 5 star read.

Kayla is in a relationship that takes a dark turn and she runs, she’s done but she knows he won’t give up on her that easily. She goes home but she knows she has to stay alert. When she sees Jaxon old feelings come back.

Jaxon was Kayla’s brother’s best friend and she was off limits. But when they finally gave in to their feelings tragedy hit and that was the one and only night they had. Now that she is back in town he is determined to never lose her again. He agrees to her staying with him and they quickly discover they still have the chemistry and attraction from before.

Overall this was a great read. I felt like I had several different stories going on. We have several twists and turns. There was an even bigger twist towards the end that totally threw me off and had me thinking WTH. All of the characters added a great element to the story. We get a couple of steamy moments. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

When there is a serial killer on the prowl, will Cade be able to solve these gruesome murders and catch the killer.

Cade has been assign a case which will take all his years within the police to try and track and catch a serial killer who is killing blonde glamourous women. As Cade investigates the killer becomes more invested within the cat and mouse of the chase and will either one of them win this deadly game.

I have to say I was looking forward to this story but at times I was a little disappointed in the book. Although the story was full of twists and turns the actually sleuthing was not that difficult to predict who the killer was, it also was a two POV conversation of the two characters which was great but did not leave much to the imagination with for me is the best part of a book.

With that said the overall story was constructed well and flowed through the story very well, there were a lot of characters within the story to sometimes keep track of which did detract from the story some what sometimes but the main characters hold the tread through the book. All in all the book is a great read, I would like to read more by this author in the future.

Loved every minute of this crime mystery! From the first page, I was captivated by the authour’s flow and competent ability to draw the reader in close. The writing style was completely engaging; the plot grabs you immediately, and the fluidity is masterful. I was hooked and settled in to read happily.
Our hero, Investigator Cade Dawkins is smart and loveable – he is a standout among officers, and notices the pattern in killings before anyone else. As he pieces together clues to solve the brutal murders, the mystery winds in on itself, and he seems to be the only one that can untangle the web. As the game of cat and mouse races toward the finish, we increasingly have to wonder – who is the cat , and who is the mouse?

I wholeheartedly recommend this book for crime and mystery lovers, or anyone who appreciates an amazing storyteller and writing.

Bound By Secrets is the 2nd book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. I have been a huge fan of Amy McKinley’s writing since I first read the Gray Ghost series and I always love when she releases a new book for me to indulge in. I had loved the first book in the Deadly Isles series Twisted Secrets and was looking forward to reading more about the Hale Brothers.
In this book we get the story of former Navy SEAL Jaxon Hale and his former best friend’s sister Kayla Kane. Jaxon and Kayla had spent one night together as teens and hasn’t seen Jaxon since she moved away following the death of her brother. Now he has Kayla back in his life Jaxon is going to do everything he can to make sure that she doesn’t ever leave him again.
I loved Jaxon and Kayla’s story. It’s a fantastic second chance romance with a lot more thrown in. Amy McKinley’s stories are always full of danger, intrigue, mystery and passion and Bound By Secrets is a fantastic example of her amazing storytelling talents. She has the amazing knack of being able to grab you straight away with the story and keep you gripped and entertained right up to the very end.
I’ve given every book of hers I’ve ever read 5 stars and this will be no different. This book is definitely worth the 5 stars. Highly recommend!

Bound By Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Book 2) by Amy McKinley has secrets, tragedy, an abusive ex-boyfriend, family relationships, and some twisted logic in the part of one character. This book is about Jaxson a recently retired Navy Seal and Kayla who finds herself in an abusive relationship and runs away to hide. Jaxson and Kayla have unresolved feeling for each other from when they were kids. The night they finally got together as teens, Kayla’s brother died in a tragic accident and things got kind of messy. Although Kayla was holding onto a lot of anger and hurt, she reaches out to Jaxson for help with Roy and how much danger she is in.

The story is well written and kept my attention. Jaxson and his brothers were in the first book so it was nice to have that background. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

The connection between Dolan and Daught is romantic but they definitely go through a lot, both together but also in terms of their past and backstory. So I really enjoyed following their journey.

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This book has my two favorite genres, second chance and military romance. This storyline exceeded all my expectations. This is the second book of the addictive series of Deadly Isles Special Ops. They don’t need to be read in order but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book down until the end and I can’t wait to read the next book.

Kayla Kane leaves her abusive boyfriend and she has to lay low. She finds herself back in her childhood city. Kayla starts to think about her brother that died in an accident that was never solved. She is shocked when she sees her high school lover, Jaxon. Kayla can’t help but to have feelings for him but he broke her heart. She doesn’t want to get hurt again but she needs his help. Kayla knows her ex is watching her and sooner or later she will be in danger. Will Kayla and Jaxon be able to heal from the past or will there be more secrets that will ruin it all?

I couldn’t pick this book up fast enough after reading the first in this series and absolutely loving it! I enjoyed this one almost as much, McKinley’s writing style is so easy to read and her writing just flows effortlessly which makes for a really relaxing reading experience, despite the fact the plots are so fast paced and thrilling.

This plot was less thrilling that Twisted Secrets for me personally, which is the only reason I have given a lower rating than the previous book. I – again – really enjoyed reading about Jason and Kayla and I thought Jaxon’s character in particular was very well explored. I would have enjoyed a little more background on Kayla. Having said that, I loved the storyline involving her and Kieran. And the final paragraph of the book genuinely brought tears to my eyes and really moved me.

I think if you want a book that has lots of twists, some steamy romance scenes and a thrilling plot then Amy McKinley is definitely a good author to get to know. I will absolutely be continuing this series and cannot wait to see what the characters will have to face next.

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans a fast-paced four-star read. I enjoyed the story and found it to be very good, but there was something missing, the pacing was very good, fast enough that your heart raced what felt like the whole story, but it wasn’t too fast that you couldn’t follow the story, that’s a great balance to find. The way the story is laid out is very good, it really gives you such great prospective, it does solve some of the mystery but that wasn’t an issue for me as there was still enough hook to the story. Overall a good story, just needed a little more polish for me.
