Secrets, Lies and Betrayals (Protect and Honor Series Book 1)Secrets, Lies and Betrayals by Lynn Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Secrets, Lies and Betrayals is set in a political arena which has brought nothing but pain, loss and deceit. This is the first engrossing book in the Protect and Honor Series and the first book I have read by this author.

Maxwell Cole ex special forces operative saved her life and watched over her. With her life in jeopardy once again can he find the threat before it gets to her. He will do anything to keep her safe and expose the truth of the person behind it all. Can he save her twice?

She has been in hiding since she was shot as a little girl but someone is gunning for her again. Someone has exposed her and she is in just as much danger as she once was. Who was it that revealed her secrets?

It is fast paced, action packed, intense & suspenseful. It is an engaging read with a cleverly crafted plot keeping you on your toes. It certainly lives up to its name with plenty of secrets, lies and betrayals. Sometimes its better the devil you know or is it?

I look forward to reading more of Max Cole.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An absolute page turner. Michaela Manning, an adorable 3 year old is shot during the assassination of her grandfather a US Senator. Her life is anything but normal, she grows up under a false identity and is hidden away from everyone. That is until her entire world comes crumbling down and her true identity is exposed, but by who? A story that makes you question everything you think you knew about history and politics. Throw in some romance and it’s a book you can’t put down and will have you sitting on the edge of your seat till the very end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When you commit your life to someone, and decide to accept their marriage proposal, how well do you really know your spouse, or could they be hiding things? Horrible things that could potentially cause your demise? That is the case with Come Home to Death by Marilyn Levinson. Her husband is always disappearing on ‘business trips’ and one day two thugs appear on her doorstep claiming he owed them money. I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone. This was a fast paced novel that kept you on the edge of your seat, wondering what was going to happen next. Lots of twists and unexpected turns that will keep you turning pages. I don’t think anyone could be disappointed in picking up this one.

Erica finds out that her husband of only 9 months has been lying to her about his “work.” terry actually isn’t working at all but finding trouble like owing gambling debts to a gangster. When Erica finds out she decides to find a way to help Terry. What she didn’t expect was her life being in danger as she returns to her childhood home. Who is targeting her and why?
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. I really enjoyed her writing and world building. Erica is a character I could connect with and understand her struggles and frustration.

Since I hadn’t read anything by this author before, I wasn’t exactly sure what I was getting myself into. The cover grabbed my attention immediately and didn’t even need to get halfway through the synopsis before picking it up. Once I opened this book there was no turning back. I was completely and utterly captivated from the first page to the very last. I may or may not have neglected some of my responsibilities in order to finish this book, but I had no choice! Erica is content with her life as a newlywed until things get weird, and they get weird fast. Strange circumstances revolve around her husband and her family, so who can she trust now? I won’t spoil anything at all because this book is well worth the time. I highly recommend picking it up if you enjoy mystery, suspense, and avoiding chores to read! Definitely looking forward to the next book by this author.

This book, as all her books in this fabulous series do, has an amazing mix of wonderful characters and creative storylines that truly will have you hooked.

This was a really enjoyable read. The story was so cleverly written that I didn’t know who the real culprit was and my opinions changed all through out the book.
The saying is true that money is the root of evil and it definitely is in this case. This story so full of danger, suspense, secrets, lies, a little romance, and a constant feeling of not knowing who you can trust.

Erica thought her life was good until she finds out things about her husband which put them in danger. As she tries to help Terry out of the debt he is in she realises that her husband isn’t the man she thought he was.
While Erica is left with the feeling she doesn’t know the man she married she is also blind-sided to find out she is set to get a lot of money when she turns 25.
Just when she thinks that’s their problems solved Terry leaves her and then winds up dead. Was it an accident or something more sinister?

When Erica gets a warning about her safety from Terry’s life, Erica is now left wondering who she can and can’t trust. Why would anyone one to harm her? Could it be due to the money she is due to get? Or is it something to do with Terry’s past.
Can she figure out who is trying to harm her and protect herself before it’s too late?

This story is full of shady character so you will definitely be left guessing who is the person who is trying to harm her. I was completely captivated by this book and I couldn’t put it down.

An entertaining read with an intriguing storyline which kept me hooked throughout. Full of drama and suspense this was a real page turner, and the mystery element kept me guessing especially with the plot twists and red herrings. Nine months after her wedding Erica’s husband is away on another business trip when two thugs turn up, claiming he owes their boss a large amount of money from a gambling debt. Not wanting to stay at their apartment and fearing for her life a frightened Erica returns to her childhood Long Island home. She’s not been back long and with her aunts who raised her being just as interfering and controlling as always, she remembers why she escaped and has not been back for three years. Erica has a trust fund from her parent’s life insurance and her plan is to ask the family attorney for an advance so she can pay of her husbands debt and return to her life. However, she is shocked when he refuses saying that if she waits until her twenty fifth birthday she will inherit millions. With not long to wait she agrees but discovers that her aunts are keeping secrets, and with her husband still missing and people turning up dead, she realises that someone is trying to kill her and before her birthday. I felt fully immersed in this story as the descriptive narrative brought both the characters and the setting to life. I liked the mix of characters, some likeable and some not but who all brought their own personalities to the story. An enjoyable and engaging book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is a slow rolling mystery. There is a little romance, mostly one sided it seems. There are many secrets being kept in this story, right up until the end. The plot flowed with these secrets and the good number of characters keeping them. The main character, Erica, is too trusting of not only her new husband but of every person she meets. She believes everything she hears. “You’re a gusty, intelligent woman, but sometimes you act like a brainless fool.”

Other characters include Erica’s husband Terry; her well-meaning older aunts; Doug, who is a “friend” of Terry’s; and the Hartley family. All of these characters are on my list of characters not to trust. Every one of them has a secret or two. The author’s writing leads me to believe they are all troublemakers and unable to be trusted.

Erica needs to decide what is happening around her, what happened to Terry and most importantly, she needs to survive long enough to turn 25 to inherit millions from her parents.

Erica falls for and quickly marries Terry, a man she soon realizes she doesn’t know anything about at all. They’d been married for nine months and he frequently went on weird business trips away from home. While he is away on one of the trips, Erica is confronted by two men asking where he is and telling her the truth about him having a gambling problem and owing lots of money. She decides she has to help him get out of trouble, so she moves back to her hometown with her overbearing aunts she despises living with to try and come up with the money in time. Turns out she is about to receive an inheritance that will solve all their problems. But before she turns 25 and can get her money, she keeps having weird run ins with blue cars and strangers, who seemingly keep trying to scare her or kill her. One even tried running her off the road. Erica is in over her head and finds out she really can’t trust anybody.

This book was recommended to me and I’m so glad I decided to read it. I was hooked from the beginning and it kept me guessing the whole time. Plenty of twists and mysteries throughout

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first read by this author. This book can be read as a stand alone but I will go back and read the previous books are there are a few holes I’d like filled in.

Vivian is a dentist and a self defense instructor. She has a bit of a rocky past and she’s wanting to keep it pretty close to the vest. Arrow (love his name!) is an former Navy Seal who is a now a billionaire wine connoisseur. He spies Vivian and is instantly interested in speaking to her.

There are many layers to this story, as well as many great elements. The chemistry between these two keep things interesting with a mystery and some pretty intense feelings in play.

Overall, great story and I look forward to reading the previous books in this series.

Erica has a lot going on, and I was invested in all of it. Between her husband, her aunts and her childhood best friend, it seems like she has things coming at her from all sides. Throw in the fact that she is extremely close to getting an inheritance that she didn’t actually know much about, and you can see how any nearly 25 year old might be overwhelmed, guarded and questioning everything.
I definitely felt Erica’s concerns and confusion when each one person that it seemed like she should be able to trust, there was something that made that person not seem quite as trustworthy. For each wonderful thing that was going on in her life, it seemed like there was something that cancelled it out and made it not so amazing.
I truly enjoyed this book and would read more from this author.

When you get married you don’t fully know the other person. You have to get to know them and grow with them. Right? Well Erica definitely doesn’t know enough. Her husband Terry has disappeared, AGAIN, on one of his “business” trips. She doesn’t even know what he does for work! Well she’s set to find out real fast what his life is really about. Face to face with two thugs has her spiraling down quick in this book. Turns out that he has a HUGE gambling debt. As she returns home to borrow the money she keeps noticing a blue car, but she isn’t sure who owns it. Does everyone own a blue car now?? Was it chasing her. Was that a gun shot? What the heck is going on?! Are the thugs messing with her? And if so, why?!! This book is so good. It’s pretty fast paced too, so you get caught into it well while you try to figure out what the heck is going on. Right along side Erica! It seems she has a target on her back. Things keep happening to her and around her. Will what started as a simple debt, turn into her death? She gets run off the road, her husband is killed in a hit in run, she gets pushed into traffic, and the hits just keep coming in this thriller. You will be wondering up until the end with this one!! You will not be disappointed at all! SO SO GOOD!!!!

The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising, #5)The Strategist by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Arrow Holt is a retired Navy Seal and is a part of the billionaire set but he has worked hard to get where he is. His childhood was not good and his escape into the Navy gave him a sense of purpose and instant family but the things he has seen has left a big mark on his life.
So, when he meets her, he has this overwhelming protection of her when Vivian gets into some trouble, but will she let him help her and can the attraction he feels be put aside.

Vivian has been through the ringer in life and does not trust very easily, when Arrow becomes part of her life, she at first tries hard to reject his advances but there is just something about him that she wants to trust. Vivian has spent her whole life being just her can she let this man into her world and open her heart to him.

This is the fifth book in the series and with every book I say it’s my favourite and this book does not disappoint. As always, the characters are rich and well developed with their backgrounds that you fall straight in love with them along the way. Although this is part of a series you can read as a standalone story but there is a story arc which runs through the books, but I feel this would not distract from the story.

Arrow has always been one of those characters mentioned in the other stories that I was intrigued to know his story and here it is, this character is an alpha male, but you see the vulnerable side to him which is always great to read in such alpha characters. Vivian was the perfect equal to him as she was fiercely independent and had a fire inside her which was just brilliant to read and see in her character.

The story is full of twist and turns and I was fully engaged with the story. Having these two characters the chemistry was off the page and I enjoyed as previously said the vulnerability they were prepared to show to each, and the slow burn of the trust and relationship had me on the edge of my seat.

Another great addition to the series and can’t wait to read more by this great author.

Erica is comfortable in her life. She has a good job she mostly enjoys. She doesn’t mind her nosey landlady and likes where she lives. Things are heating up with her husband. He recently disappeared and has been gone much longer than usual. Two goons showed up at her apartment to talk about her husband. They told her things she didn’t know.

Now Erica feels she has no choice but to go home to the two overbearing aunts she left 3 years ago and see if she can convince her attorney to give her an advance on her trust fund to help out her husband. This is where things start to get screwy.

Once she has asked for the money, small things start happening. Erica is nearly run off the road by a man wearing a Darth Vader mask waving a gun. Her best childhood friend starts acting weird. Erica learns that she is about to inherit approximately $20 Million. Erica’s husband is killed in a hit and run accident. Her aunts are bickering and reveal they knew about the trust since becoming her guardians. Erica meets a man that says he was friends with her husband. Erica gets pushed out into traffic, almost getting hit by a car.

As her birthday gets closer, the strange factor just keeps getting higher. The only constant is the stranger that claims to have been friends with her husband. The only problem is Erica’s growing attraction to him. As the near death incidents start picking up, Erica is also growing up, figuring out who she is and who she wants to be.

When it hits the fan, it is the person Erica suspected the least. Betrayal by those closest to Erica hits her hard. Erica’s savior is more than he seems. And things will never go back to where they were before.

This decently paced thriller will keep you wondering.

The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising, #5)The Strategist by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Everything and more. This is the first book I have read by the incredibly talented Nadia Han though I have several of her books on my tbr, this was the first and I was over the moon with it. Yes, this is book five in the WaterFyre Rising series, but each book can be read as a standalone. I wasn’t confused or lost on anything, and it was explained what the previous four couples did to warrant the Trogyn being after him and his friends. Dual perspective of Arrow Holt and Vivian Vo.
Arrow has many accomplishments and interests including wine and video games. The one thing he wants is her. Vivian Vo is an accomplished pediatric dentist and martial arts master. Her childhood led her to mastering self defense and teaching others. So much in her life could be different if she and her mother knew those skills back then. After uprooting her entire life and putting it on hold to move across the country to find a kidnapped nine-year-old girl the unexpected shows up along the way. Seeing Arrow makes her have a flutter and spark of something she long thought was lost, something she could never get back when the scars were burned into her body long ago. Arrow thought he could have anything and everything he wanted until he found someone that matched his scarred soul, that awakened a part of him he never knew was there and only there for her. Thanks to Kaylee, the thirteen-year-old girl that Vivian is the guardian of, things progress faster in some ways than they could have. Vivian is forced to feel and not judge with her eyes as she begins to fall for “Bullseye” Arrow, while also battling herself about their actual encounters. Arrow falls for “Tulip” Vivian quickly and goes the distance to prove he is all in. When her past comes knocking, she worries more about how Arrow and those around her than herself.
Will Arrow run when he sees her scars as others had? Can Vivian let her walls down and finally trust someone again? This world is outside, maybe not in my personal experience but with how the world is I feel at least one person has lived this life or is living it now. The characters burrow into your heart, you feel their pain and their fear, but the author also makes you feel their hope and love as they break down their walls. Knowing up front from the tropes on that they get there happily ever after builds suspense and fear on how they will reach it. I cannot wait to see whose story comes next in book six, The Protégé, October 29th, 2024. Now to go back and dive into the other four books and see how his friends found their happily ever after.

This book had me engrossed from the start. This story has romance, friendship, danger, trauma, mystery, bad guys, family, healing, drama, and great characters. This is the 5th book in this series but it can be read as a standalone, but my advice is to read them all. This book is Arrow and Vivian’s story. Arrow is an ex navy seal, entrepreneur with a traumatic past. Vivian is a dentist who also has a traumatic past. Vivian is looking for a missing girl and it’s bringing her past into her present. The chemistry between these two is undeniable but Vivian isn’t ready to date at this point in her life. Arrow isn’t giving up on her that easy. This is a must read to find out what happens between these two. The author had me reading late into the night turning pages needing to know what happens next. This story kept me captivated the entire time. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Strategist is Book 5 in the WaterFyre Rising series….I have read every book in this series and I have loved every book…but this is my favorite. I love the connection between Arrow and Vivian…truly undeniable. This story gave me all the feels that I was all in for….hot sizzling chemistry and moments, danger, action, secrets and deep dark pasts.

Arrow Holt, a former Navy SEAL, is methodical and thinks every step with strategy. Building his wine business and being part of the WaterFyre team…he is also on the hunt for the bad guys. When his charms trying to ask Vivian Vo out on a date do not initially work…he waits patiently for her. Vivian has no time for romance, being a dentist, but also have other agenda on her mind in her hunt for a very bad guy as well…she consistently shoots him down for a date, until danger lurks and her determination to find a missing person brings her to new levels of danger. As Arrow tries to protect Vivian at all costs..will both Arrow and Vivian having painful dark pasts and scars to bear tear them apart or bring them closer then ever with the unexpected spark they have between them.

Definitely read and find out. This is a fantastic story!! Although you can read this book as a standalone, I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning….I cannot wait until the next book in the series to get to know Orion more!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved The Strategist which is book 5. Every book in this series has been so good. I guess they don’t really need to be read in order but, there are spoilers so, I’d recommend reading them in order to see how they all ended up where they are now. There’s so much action and suspense that it will have you reading more and more chapters in one sitting just to see what happens or how it happens.
Vivian is trying to locate a missing girl named Aimee. She refuses to believe anything other than the fact that she is alive and well.

When Arrow and Vivian run into eachother unexpectedly, they agree to a duel.
Arrow took a liking to Vivian and asked her out on a date. She turned him down but, that didn’t stop him. His actions could be confused with a stalker but he definitely is not a stalker. He always was close by and always kept an eye on her. He gave her, her space but knew, she was going to be his some day.

Arrow has a lot of connections and knows he can help her. The entire group of friends are there to try to find Aimee.

Vivian and Arrow made the best couple. They are both incredibly smart and care about others. They have something in common that neither of them would’ve ever guessed. I’m very surprised about when Arrow found Kaylee in chapter 68 and they came to realize something, it didn’t get more attention or come as more of a shock.
Looking forward to book 6 so we can learn more about Orion.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Where is Terry? Erica is disappointed that her husband of nine months has disappeared on one of his mysterious “business” trips. As she is walking up to the apartment complex, she notices a large blue car parked in front of the building. Before she can walk upstairs, Mrs. Bressler, her landlady, stops her and says that two men are upstairs looking for Terry. Afraid, Erica runs away to a local cafe. Unfortunately, the men saw her flee and sit down in her booth. Sean and Andy claim that Terry owes their boss twenty thousand dollars for a gambling debt. Tearfully, Erica claims she didn’t know where Terry went but she gave thema note Terry had left her the previous week. Sean gives her a card and tells her to call if Terry shows up.
On her walk towards her apartment, another man pulls up in a blue car. He claims he is a friend of Terry’s and wondered if she had seen him. Erica says no, the man introduces himself as Doug and gives her a card to contact him. Erica’s determination to help her husband leads her on an uncertain path for the future.

Come Home Death by Marilyn Levinson features Erica’s tumultuous life waiting for her inheritance. Her whirlwind romance with Terry Parker is unconventional. This unpredictable plot takes the reader on a journey seen through Erica’s eyes as she tries to make sense of who she married. Her dislike for Manordale is made clear, especially since she must deal with two eccentric aunts and the attempted romance advances both Doug and Jason make to her. Suspense builds as several revelations and murder fills each page. Whose life is on the line? Read this captivating novel to find out. Come Home Death will appeal to fans of intriguing slow burn romances.
