Handle With Care (Chase Care Book 1)Handle With Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a well written story with many twists and turns. It makes you want to keep reading the next chapter that you are at the end of the book before you know it. If you like medical outbreak stories added with a touch of romance, this is the book for you.

Hunter and Selma have known each other for years and have been in different relationships until 20 years later when they can finally be with each other. However, they take their careers first.

Selma has volunteered to go overseas to help Doctors without Borders when after she arrives, an outbreak happens. Hunters and a team of doctors end up going over to Africa after her to try to help with the sick and to get their friends out of the country and safe back home. Everyone debates whether or not the outbreak was an intentional threat or not.

The author does a great job in displaying knowledge and understanding of the events in the story.

The author keeps you guessing in this book. When a killing happens at the beginning of the book, you think the story is about that. However, further into the book it becomes about another killing that comes around and is part of the first killing that happened two years prior. The book keeps you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out who did it.

This book is not one I would have originally chosen to read, but the narrative peaked my interest as did the book the entire way through. It starts during a stent in Vietnamese years ago, where Rex did a wrong doing and leaves Don getting the punishment for it. Rex goes back to the States, not knowing what transpired after he left until years later when Don and his family had relocated to Mississippi. Don held a grudge for years and wanted to speak with Rex about it, but never gets the chance before his death. Rex finds out after Don’s death what transpired years ago, which brings them to the current day. However, Don’s death was thought to be a murder, but was it? Rex’s sons are being blamed for Don’s death. Don’s daughter, Anh, finds a journal that her dad had written in years ago that explains everything that happened. It’s a great story of how we cannot assume we know what other’s have gone through in life as everyone has a past. I highly recommend this book to readers!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m Not Your Difference a Fitz Series Book 4 by Theresa Sederholt
The book is packed with love, acceptance and very family oriented. I could not put the book down and wanted more. What Stephen ad Andy have to go though is extraordinary and they do an amazing job.
This is a story of Stephen and Andy’s love for each other, Stone’s hatred and the DeMazzi’s prejudice ways that bring the story together.
This is the fourth book in the Fitz Series that can stand alone. After reading this book, I am very interested in the other stories. All the characters are so well done that I let like I knew them.
The book begins with how MJ, Fitz and Andy grew up together and the relationships they now have, and how they are all so close knit and look out for each other. It’s about how Andy deals with his illness and raises his adopted daughter, Stella. Stephen has a problem with both and leaves, finding Stone. Stone realizes Stephen still loved Andy and wants revenge, which becomes life threatening for both Stephen and Andy. In the end, the revenge makes Andy take a closer look at what life is bringing him.
