I loved reading the story Cade (Default Distraction #3) by A.S. Roberts. It pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the ending page. I have loved this series from the very first book and the stories just keep getting better. I loved reading about Cade Morello and the woman that he is falling for. Cade is the drummer for Default Distraction and the son of a mafia boss. Being in the band he can have any woman that he wants, the one he wants won’t let her guard down. He is determined that she will be his. There is chemistry between them. Is it all physical or is there more of a connection between them than they think? What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. There is a push and pull going on between the two main characters. I grew to care about what happens to them and wanted them to be happy. Will what they have between them work? Cade is a man that is haunted by his past. He finds himself pursuing her and there are times when you see the real man behind what he portrays in public. This is a story that includes some romantic scenes that will have the temperature in the room rising. It also had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I enjoyed reading about the other characters, many of which are familiar as they have been brought forward from the other books. This is a book and series that you don’t want to miss out on. Highly recommended reading.

The story DIE FOR ME by Diane Hester is a thrilling psychological suspense book that I enjoyed reading. It pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It had me on the edge of my seat, turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the character of Lauren Donnelly.

This leads her to reach out to Ada Phelps, the survivor’s daughter. How far will Lauren take in repaying the debt of life? Is Ada all she appears to be? Read this book to find out. The story is wonderfully written, and I found myself feeling like I was right there in the story with the characters. I found my mind working overtime to try to uncover the motivations of those around Lauren. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters, many that are friends and work with Lauren at her nursery. I grew to care about Lauren and wanted her to succeed in all that she does. This book also does have a bit of romance. There are twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I love suspense novels and this one is a good example of why. Highly recommended reading.
