Beautiful Dangerous (Philly Heat series, #4)Beautiful Dangerous by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this multiple POV novel, we follow the story of Hannah Patel and Doyle Murphy.

In the aftermath of her brother’s murder, Public Defender Hannah Patel has withdrawn herself, personally and professionally. She is struggling with her brother’s murder a year later and also has to defend herself from a man that is obsessed with her.

Detective Doyle Murphy starts to doubt his career in law enforcement after a fatal error. Who would expect these two people to cross paths?

Doyle Murphy sees protecting Hannah from the man obsessed with her as a form of redemption. When the two start to develop feelings, will they be able to move forward?

I have not read the other novels in this series, but I plan to. I loved the characters and the progression of the relationship. Even more, I loved the suspense and storyline. I am not one to read or watch suspense bodies of work, but the times when I do, I get hooked.

The passing of a loved one is hard. But to lose them so suddenly and through the act of murder, my heart went out to Hannah.

The entire time reading, I did not want to put the novel down. I just wanted to read.With the twists and turns, I did not know which direction the story was going to go in. Now I am going to read the other books.

Liar, Liar (The McIntire County Series Book 4) by Winter Austin – Review by Shea Gilkerson 10/17/23

Liar, Liar (The McIntire County Series: #4)Liar, Liar by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We are back in the Eider police department, this time following the story of Sheriff Shane Hamilton following his “just barely” win of the election. On top of the win causing blowback, Sheriff Hamilton is dealing with two homicides and multiple cases of arson. Add the work stressors rising to the distraction of a personal anniversary, he is wanting nothing more than a bit of time to sort his feelings and emotions regarding it all.

Unfortunately, FBI agent Liza Bartholomew appears in that same time frame on a tip that a scam artist she has been pursuing for years has been spotted there. Liza has a history with Eider, and coming back was never in her plan. With a thirst for vengeance on behalf of the victims and racing to protect her career, Liza refuses to let the town sheriff hold her back, no matter what he may stir in her. When they realize their cases are connected, they have to decide to work together, in spite of their feelings on relationships and their chemistry, as well as the high stress cases and Liza ending up back in Eider.

Really have enjoyed the Eider PD series, the characters are likeable, the suspense is palpable, the writing is compelling and keeps you flipping the pages. There’s romance, danger, trauma, some steam, bad guys and the good ones who pursue them.

This is book 1 of the series and my first time reading anything from this author. I was not disappointed at all! Even though this book jumps between different cities here and there to piece together information, it is very easy to follow and keeps you wanting more. I didn’t want to put it down! I wanted to know if Cade would catch the Blonde Killer or would the killer get to him first???

This is book 2 of the series and I would recommend reading them in sequence. Once again I was not disappointed at all! Detective Cade is comparable to the Will Trent series an I think these books would make a great tv show. I like how the story continues from book one with just a new series of murders. I can’t wait for the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and entertaining crime thriller which has a gripping storyline and an interesting main character in celebrated investigator Cade Dawkins. When Dawkins is given a difficult case to solve, he soon discovers that a serial killer is on the loose and that he has a type. Virtually identical blonde women are being murdered in Minnesota, causing the public to panic and resulting in political pressure to catch the killer. Dawkins learns that the serial killer has his own plan, one that is part of a larger more dangerous agenda. It soon becomes a cat and mouse game between the killer and the investigator but Dawkins realises that he might be the mouse. The descriptive narrative brought both the setting and the characters to life making me feel immersed in the story. The dual POV narrative from both the killer and Dawkins worked well and made me feel engaged with both of them. The suspense that was building chapter by chapter did disappear slightly for me when about half way through we learn the identity of the killer. However, the cat and mouse game continued and the main mystery was still to be solved. Overall this was a fast paced and exciting read.

I really enjoy reading Kimberly’s Notebook mystery series so when I saw this new book, I was excited to see what it was all about.
It is easy to be drawn into the worlds that Kimberley creates with historical facts, the adventure, the intrigue and mystery, suspense and drama that she writes so well. There are twists and turns to keep you on your toes.
1897 takes us on a historical trip where there are many interwoven story threads cleverly put together to make one interesting and compelling read. It is the story of Mark Sutherland a reporter who gets a job of a lifetime.
Kimberley’s narrative is vivid in her descriptions that it is easy to imagine all that she describes with mysterious craft crashes, oil discoveries, gold to be found and new friendships forged.
There is a lot going on in 1897 which adds to the anticipation of the story. You can feel the excitement, the hopes, the dreams, the failures, the wants and much more that the well written characters get caught up in and their discoveries.
Come along on this exciting adventure.
I can’t wait for more of Mark Sutherland and his adventures.

House of Blood and WhispersHouse of Blood and Whispers by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book drew me in with the blurb that the author wrote about it. I want to tell you, that I was not disappointed. The MC’s are amazingly well written and you can actually visualize everything that the author describes as the settings in the book. The situations that the characters find themselves in are not typical but make complete sense in the book. You know how sometimes things happen and you just can’t imagine it any other way. That is this book. The series of events in the plot are amazing and once you read it, you realize that yep that needed to happen. The character growth is great and that is normally what really draws me into a book but this book it was the plot itself that kept me turning the pages. It is a really good read that had me flipping pages as quickly as I could because I was so engrossed in the storyline. I am actually having a hard time writing this review because I want to spill all the beans about the story but I don’t want to give anything away. That is how you now this book is really, really good. There are many twists and turns. Just when you thin you have everything figured out, boom, n something happens and all y0ur thoughts are gone. It allows you to get comfortable with the characters but will have you knowing that at any page turn something crazy could happen.

Novella
This is the prequel and gives the backstory for Riley and Lynette who are already together in book one of The Talisman Series. The cover is so Riley, his cockiness just shows through.
The story is a modern day take on Celtic warriors who each have a fated talisman that compliments their powers. It was great to meet all the characters that each have a book dedicated to them. Really looking forward to diving into this series. Highly recommend.

Two weeks before Christmas, I lose my job and my apartment in London. Now my best friend’s no-good cheating boyfriend has left her with a non-refundable plane ticket she can’t afford.

So I do what any good friend would do and use my redundancy payout to buy Shona’s ticket and board a flight to Australia, where I plan to forget that Christmas even exists. Except I soon discover that the festive spirit is alive and well in beachside Sydney—only it looks completely different.

When I receive an unexpected invitation to Christmas lunch from a gorgeous surfer guy I keep bumping into, I’m tempted. But I’d be mad to have a fling with a single father like Jaz who has enough personal baggage to make my oversized suitcase feel feather light.

Then again, holiday romances aren’t supposed to last…are they?

This is a beautiful story. I really loved the characters, and the way the story is written really makes you slow down and adsorb what’s going on in the story around you. It was a bit of a slower read, but i really enjoyed all of the details the author put into it. It’s well written and thought out. Highly recommend.

3.5 Stars

 

Almost and Forever by Angela K. Parker is a contemporary romance with love, loss, pain, grief, chemistry, challenges, dramatic developments, second chances, forgiveness, and hope. This isn’t your typical hearts and flowers romance, this is a raw, heartbreaking, and impactful tale where the author will toy with your emotions, shaking you up like a snow globe, before tending to your wounds. I recommend having wine and tissues close at hand for this read.
There are also possible triggers for some readers, so be aware before diving in. Sensitive topics include death of a loved one.
This is a beautiful, albeit heartbreaking tale of ‘all good things are worth the wait’, fate, second chances, overcoming obstacles, hope, forgiveness, and the healing power of love.
Looking forward to exploring more of Ms. Parker’s work…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Angela K. Parker!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Be sure to read this series in order so you don’t miss the important groundwork laid in the first book. There will likely be a bit of confusion reading this out of order.

Another fun young adult read. This time, Mia and her friends are getting ready for a Quinceanera for Tiffany. As they are doing this, there is a man who is murdered and dumped into the nearby water hole. Mia, along with Gumshoes, help the police to solve the “whodunit” of this mystery.

I enjoyed this book but felt that it lacked some of the pizazz that attracted me to the first book. I would have liked to have seen more development of Mia’s newfound powers. I feel like it was glossed over in this one.

Tracker (The Talisman Series)Tracker by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Tracker is the seventh book in The Talisman series by Tam DeRudder Jackson. As with the rest of the series, this is another steamy paranormal romance with fated mates, action, adventure, danger, destiny, drama, intrigue, the supernatural, druids, tension, suspense, creative world building, magic, Celtic mythology, warriors, good vs evil, history, and much more.
Even though this is the seventh book in the series, it serves as a prequel to the series- so it can be read as a standalone if you wanted. But saying that, there is plenty of engrossing reading contained in the previous books, which you will probably want to know about- especially if you love paranormal romance, good vs evil, Celtic mythology, warriors, shamans, fate, and adventure.
Here we get Riley and Lynnette’s story. And what a tale they have to tell. Riley finally finds his talisman, only to find that there is a sinister force bent on keeping them apart, to snatch away their chance of fulfilling their destiny. What happens makes for a intriguing read.
This is a novella length story, which makes for a quick and easy read. Even though it is short in length, it has the feel and impact of a much longer novel.
The series consists of (so far):
-Talisman (Book #1)
-Warrior (Book #2)
-Prophetess (Book #3)
-Bard (Book #4)
-Druid (Book #5)
-Rogue (Book #6)
-Tracker (Book #7)
Bring on Book #8!
Happy reading!

Thank you, Tam DeRudder Jackson!

This is the third book of the North Fork Series. After reading the second book (which I really enjoyed) I went back to read the first book which is Fire Me Up. I know I didn’t have to, to understand this but the author tells such a good story. I just had to pick up the others’ stories from her. This one was a quick cute read with some steamy scenes you’ll love and a few twists you don’t expect but will enjoy. Wynter and Caleb even though they come from different backgrounds, I think they are perfect for each other and are soooo adorable together. Also omg who doesn’t love doggos 🥰🥰🥰🥰I’m looking forward to reading more books by Alicia Street

Melt My HeartMelt My Heart by Alicia Street
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Melt My Heart is so relatable. If you throw money out the window and focus on the characters. Most people have been so hurt in a relationship that their trust is broken and their hearts are sealed. The author not only gives us one character like that but two. Brought together by a stray dog these two may very well be the broken pieces to mend one another.
However there’s a task that needs to be completed that makes it interesting.
Caleb is a local guy, former Navy Seal, and comes from a wealthy family with a lucrative business. He knows that most women see dollar signs and not him. At the same time they aren’t the ones who broke him. It was a girl he was in the service with who was severely injured and felt unlovable, not worth it. He never expected a beauty to fall into his lap, let alone be given a task by his godfather’s father to help her complete.
Wynter is starting over. Her life was destroyed In Manhattan by a man no less. She doesn’t want love, she just wants a career. Goals she set out for herself when in college. Caleb and this task were never in the cards. So what happens when those items start to change her?
These two go on an adventure of mending one another while trying to deliver a message. Easier said than done. But like I said at the onset, very relatable.
This is my first book in this series and by this author I’ve read. I look forward to digging more into both. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m sure there’s more where this one came from.

Wynter and Caleb come from very different backgrounds – Wynter used to hob-knob with the rich and charm them into donating to worthy causes, until heartbreak caused her to take a different path. She meets Caleb in a cafe where she waitresses and avoids love at all costs. Caleb is a former active duty Navy SEAL and has been burned by love, as well. They both swear off relationships until they run into one another while he stops in to grab a bite to eat.

Both characters are charming, sweet, relatable and familiar. Very likeable and as an animal lover, I enjoy the involvement of 4 legged characters, as well. Very cutesy comfort read, a lot of fun. Not many surprises but there are a few, and some heat as Caleb and Wynter advance forward from refusing love to a full embrace. Definitely a quick, enjoyable read and I’ll be checking in to the first 2 of this series, as well!

This is an intriguing story about Celtic warriors of this time. This story brings readers a look at the world belonging to The Talisman series. Tracker gives readers the story of Riley and Lynnette. When the two meet their lives are turned upside down. I enjoyed seeing the way these two bonded. The two work well together and it was nice to see them fight for what they know is right. I liked seeing how Lynnette grounds Riley and how together there is nothing that can stop them. Their story is fast paced and has strong characters. The author has woven a world full of magic and emotions and I am interested in seeing what will happen next in it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So.. I have settled on a 3.5-4 star rating for Tracker by Tam Derudder Jackson. Upon picking up this book I was drawn in by the description of the book and the cover but I am unsure what I was actually expecting but it wasn’t what Tracker ended up being. I only found out after reading that this book is a novella and a continuation of another book which was dedicated more to Riley and Lynette which could be why the book felt like it started in the middle of their story and was just a snippet of an event. I believe that I was expecting more old school/adult, more similar to Outlander, but it read more like a young adult/teen novel except for the spicy scenes which were very adult. I’m not saying this was a bad book either. I think now that I have realized what I was getting I enjoyed what I got. This book was a SUPER quick read, like I read it in about 2 hours, and it is quick to get into the action and stays there. It was a wild ride to the end and kept you wondering what was going to happen next. I thought Lynette and Riley were great together and enjoyed how their powers interacted with each other.
