Blue Magnolia (Red Farlow Mysteries, #2)Blue Magnolia by W.F. Ranew
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love a good mystery and Ranew is certainly proving his talent knows no bounds as this series unfolds. I love the main characters – Farlow stumbles into another situation that is filled with intrigue and riveting detail. Cowboy is a fantastic character and one that filled every page he graced. I haven’t had a good mystery in my hands in a while and this is one book and series I will gladly pick up and read again very soon!

I’m not quite sure how I hadn’t picked up this book from Fletcher before now. But I am SO thankful it found it’s way into my greedy hands. Fletcher is extremely talented with her words and storylines, always painting extremely relatable characters that somehow relate to the reader. I adored Casey and Sam and from the onset was cheering them on, hoping they would find a way. Add in the layer of intrigue with drama in their lives and this complex story kept me guessing at every turn. Fletcher holds the keys to my book loving heart and will always be a one click for me!

Marin has captured my attention with this series and this third chapter was everything I hoped it might be. I’ve loved the journey Marin has taken me on through each installment and this latest edition – perfection. Each story can stand on it own; truthfully, I don’t know why you would stop at one. Once you dive into this world, you will want to read them all. A fantastic read that my YA, dystopian, fantasy, romance loving heart simply devoured!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m never quite prepared for the rollercoaster I embark upon when I pick up a book from Boyes. But it is the best kind of thrill ride. Twists and turns and moments that take your breath away. I’ve read a few other books from this series and have greater desire to reread those books as well as pick up the rest. Boyes is a gifted writer, one that captures intense moments that grip you and leave you glued to your chair. I loved every suspense filled moment and that there is a fantastic romantic storyline tying it together. Fantastic!

The Debt Collector (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 1) by India Kells – Review by Heather Lovelace

Romance. Suspense. Kells is a master at this genre. And this is my first audiobook of hers. I loved this book when I first read it and the narration takes this story to a completely different level. I felt the intensity of the characters and the romance in a way I was quite frankly unprepared for. This book, hardcover, electronic, or audio, is one that will leave you breathless from the suspense and fanning yourself due to the pure chemistry.

I really enjoyed getting to know Lady Isra in these pages and getting to know our dark villain better. And see her as more than the darkness she embraces. A unique take on the witch genre and a storyline I felt had a solid voice and steady pace. I am glad to see this is part of a series and look forward to reading more!

I love a good romance that has classic push and pull between the two leads from page one. Flockton does a beautiful job establishing the conflict early as we follow our heroine and the possible lady’s man that is the peach farm owner’s son. I loved the setting that this story took place in and it’s charm extended from its festival to each resident in the town. I fell quickly into this story and found this book to be an extremely pleasing and easy read. If you love a good romance, you’ll truly love this work.

However I will express that once you read once you won’t want to read it without the others. You will want to immerse yourself in the entire universe. Another amazing journey with Ian Troy!
