Motherland (The Tom Grant Series Book 3) by Samantha Adair – Review by Amanda Swindle

Motherland (Tom Grant #3)Motherland by Samantha Adair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Tom Grant series and I really liked the continuous action with twists and turns all the way through. This is my first book by this author and was able to read it as a standalone, even though it is the third book, but I will be going back to read the others to see if there is any further character development or backstory to enhance this read. There were a couple instances where I was lost or confused on details, so that is why I want to go back and read the others (plus it is a really good story!). In this book, Isabella’s father has passed away and she plans to take his body back to her homeland of Belarus, a country bordered by Russia and Ukraine. This alone is dangerous since Isabella has a bounty for her capture, and she is not sure who put the bounty on her or why. When circumstances brings a childhood friend back into her life, things are not as they seem, and he is not the same boy she remembers. Threats against Tom makes her delve back into the life she had thought she left behind, and now she has to find her escape in a dangerous world where even her friends may not be trusted.

This is the 2 book in the Shadow Defense Security Series. I have not read the first book in the series but after reading this one i am going to have to go back and read it. This book was so good. Regan and Pavlo tolerate each other at best. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. The dynamic between the characters is amazing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a two story book && they are both great stories!! Quite a bit happens in the first story. Very entertaining and such a fantastic story. It is a romantic suspense that is full of a whole lot of sizzle along with secrets, danger, hidden agendas, action, and of course love. Captivated from the very first page!! Story two was yet another amazing, suspenseful, romantic story in the series. The author’s stories are always well written and unpredictable with fantastic characters. Story two was such a fantastic addition to the series, I loved it and could not set aside until finished. Really LOVE this author and her writing style. Sooo glad I started these series!

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott – Review by Christie Mitchum

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 2)Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shadowed Agenda is a part of the Shadow Defense Security Series. Regan Christenson and Pavlo Barislov are like oil and water. In other words, they don’t mix. The two are forced together on a book tour…they even write books in two completely different genres. They avoid one another and only interact when they need to, and usually when they do, it’s full of snark. All that changes when Regan’s life is threatened when she refuses to do a private book signing for a woman who just may well be the next First Lady. The sole person who can protect her is Pavlo. As the two spend more time together, they discover their first opinions of one another were all wrong, and that snark may have been hiding a desire for the another.

I will be completely honest. I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this book because it involved politics, and I get enough of that every day on the news. However, I quickly changed my mind as that didn’t dominate the book! Yes, it was a part of the plot that drove the story, but it didn’t take away anything from the actual book itself. The pacing was spot-on, and the twists and turns kept me guessing. Just when I thought I knew who the bad guy was, Ellscott would flip the script on me, and I was second-guessing myself. I couldn’t stop flipping the pages to see what the final outcome would be.

I loved Regan and Pavlo. They were complex characters, and with each chapter told in their own POVs, another layer of who they were was revealed. Both of them had some serious trust issues. They had each loved someone with everything they had to have their hearts and their trust in love destroyed. Regan and Pavlo also dealt with that differently. Regan wouldn’t even consider a relationship much less a one-night stand, and one-night stands were all that Pavlo could offer a woman. Each of them was fiercely independent and determined. Pavlo was dedicated to his job with Shadow Defense, and Regan was dedicated to her daughter, Emmeline.

The secondary characters also added a layer to the story. Characters were not always who I thought they were. In fact, that was part of the guessing game for me as well. Because of my uncertainty about their agenda, the epilogue was such a treat for me. It was one of my favorite parts of the book.

It’s been quite a while since I have read romantic suspense, and Mavery Ellscott reminded me why I love this genre. She did a fantastic job of combining mystery, intrigue, and romance. She is a new author for me, and I’m so glad I got the chance to discover how talented she is. I will be reading more from her in the future!!!

Kai Serrano, Hollywood director, needs a Navy SEAL to be a consultant on her next film. What she neither needs, nor wants, is to be distracted by him, even if he is every woman’s ideal military action hero.

Waters is a man with no identity. Even if someone knew his real name, it would only lead them to a dead man. He cannot afford to get distracted by an attractive, sassy director. Relationships are not allowed, even if he wanted one.

Kai and Waters work well together, but there’s trouble brewing on the set. Items are going missing, accidents are on the rise, and Kai’s office and living space have been broken into. To top it all off, now her brother is missing, but it’s unclear if he’s been kidnapped or hiding out.

It’s clear Kai is in danger, but from whom? Is it her executive producer who attempts to belittle her at every turn? Is she leverage in her brother’s disappearance? Or does she unknowingly have something she shouldn’t?

With the stakes this high, are Kai and Waters good enough to figure out what’s going on without falling for each other in the process?

Trigger Warning: This book contains a violent assault. Content throughout is for mature readers.

To Catch An Elf by Debra Parmley – Review by Heidi Sturgess

To Catch An Elf: Pennsylvania Fighter PilotTo Catch An Elf: Pennsylvania Fighter Pilot by Debra Parmley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a brilliant read to end the year of with ! It literally was a gift that came my way for which I’m most grateful for ❣️📚

Marcie is a bit of a nomad if you like , no real home but she housesits/petsits for a living and when she’s not doing that she’ll crash with a friend or long stay hotels ,a loner with no family and that makes her the ideal candidate for our psycho serial killer …..

Marcie has a good heart and her love for animals speaks volumes of her character but again she’s vulnerable and an easy target and that’s exactly why our killer chose her but fear not our TDH Ted will come to her rescue and let me tell you he’s hotter than a cup of delicious hot chocolate in the winter 🔥

I loved how Ted just knew something was off ( other than the creepy elf ) and went full on protector mode but he’s been like that with Marcie from the moment they met ❣️ our 4 legged friends Ginger and Ace won my heart 🐾🥰

I’m not sure who I dislike the most , the creepy elf , Zeke the psycho or Beverly the entitled , selfish , self centred waste of space ?!

There was enough tension to keep me on the edge of my seat and this was written in a way that said alit but nothing at all , meaning I’ve got a picture mind and the writing style lets your mind wander which I think is absolutely brilliant! Again a brilliant way to end my reading year 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story was AMAZING. I was INSTANTLY hooked. I was thrown at first because I thought that Beverly was the main focus, and I did NOT like her… Thankfully Marcie was the main focus of the book and she was AWESOME. A sweet soul, an animal lover, the kid of girl you just knew you’d be friends with it you met her at a coffee shop… And I was instantly distrusting of Zeke, maybe because of the way he was with Beverly, I just instantly didn’t trust him. But goodness this story has some drama. If you love a good romance, with some drama and suspense and military stuff mixed in… You’ll LOVE this book. I absolutely recommend it. SO MUCH! Debra Parmley has definitely done something amazing with this story. Can’t wait to read more from her.

This book begins with Zeke and Beverly walking when he spots the best elf for Beverly to enter into the contest. Beverly decides she hates it because it’s an antique. She hates all antiques because they’re old and smelly.

Zeke ends up purchasing the elf without her knowledge and with a secret plan. He then convinces Beverly to hire Marcie as their dog and house sitter so he can spy on her through the elf.

Marcie later meets Ted, who moves in next door and there is instantly a spark between them.

If you’re looking for a cute holiday themed romance novel, this is for you. There’s a little mystery, a little romance. Perfect for everyone.

To Catch An Elf by Debra Parmley was not what I expected at all. It was an interesting story with romance and suspense. The characters were developed pretty well and painted a fairly strong picture of each character. As the story went on, I was drawn in more and more. I did feel that the ending was rushed, but overall, the story was good. The elf and Zeke definitely brought the creepy element to the story, but I really loved the romantic storyline between Marcie and Ted.

I agreed to read this book, without knowing anything except the title. Honestly, I thought I was going to be reading a quick little children’s book. Imagine my surprise when I saw the cover! This was an amazing book! It was full of mystery, romance, and suspense. At the same time, it was not graphic. The story did not open with the viewpoint of a protagonist, or a neutral viewpoint, but rather from the viewpoint of the antagonist. There was humor mixed in throughout the book. And who can resist the antics of beloved canine characters?

Such a good duet! This author is always a good one and I enjoy their writing style and their ability to keep me entertained throughout the whole story!
The first book in the duet is centered around Damian and Bryanna. I likes both of them! Their story was fast paced with lots of action and suspense. It also has quite a bit of steamy romance!
The second story in the duet was centered around Dereck and Layla! I liked this one too but not as much as the first story. There was danger and lots of drama and the steamy scenes were strong in this one too.
I enjoyed both of these stories and I am looking forward to more by this author in the future!

Linda Burson, a native of Pennsylvania, but long time Connecticut resident, has been writing ever since she was given a writing assignment in school, at the age of eight. Later, as a teenager, she started out writing memoirs and attempted several nonfiction pieces.

After attending college, she worked in positions where she edited papers for others. She spent time pursuing other interests, and traveling. Much of Linda’s free time was spent reading mysteries, romance, and women’s contemporary novels.

After several attempts at writing nonfiction, but having life get in the way, she put her passion on hold again. She gave up writing to focus on raising her daughters, being a wife, running her own custom computerized embroidery business and taking care of her dog, a Lhasa Apso named Nathan.

After a serious bout of breast cancer, Linda eventually closed down her business after almost fifteen years. She decided it was time to attempt writing again. This time, however, with nothing to distract her, she decided on tackling fiction, a contemporary, commercial romance with a dark edge.

In January, 2013, she sat down with her laptop and started writing the first chapter. After a few more chapters, she began keeping notes about the details of her characters so she wouldn’t forget the important characteristics. The writing continued, and never stopped. Before she was aware of it, her idea of a single book turned into a trilogy, which turned into a much longer series called the MARCY SERIES. There are a total of 13 books in the series.

When asked about inspiration, Linda has this to say: “Nobody really inspired me to write, but I do remember my mother and father always saying ‘anything you put your mind to you can accomplish. Don’t ever let anyone tell you, you can’t do something.’ Having the support and encouragement of my family is also important.”

To Catch an Elf
By: Debra Parmley

To Catch An Elf is a wonderfully fast paced novel that is filled with suspense. It features an elf and a not so nice guy. In addition, there is an incredibly swoon worthy fighter pilot and a dog sitter. This book is well written with an interesting plot and well developed characters. The suspense is just right and it keeps the reader interested to find out how the situation with the elf resolves itself. I definitely recommend picking this story up!

I’ve read a few books by this author and this one has been my favorite so far! It is incredibly suspenseful, and the flow of the story is great. I couldn’t read fast enough because I had to know what happened, and I read it all in one sitting. Reading about Ted and Marcie’s relationship is entertaining, but adding in their chemistry and the danger that could keep them apart takes it to the next level. If you like the romance genre with bountiful suspense intertwined, this is your next read!

This was a great book for me to take home over Christmas. There were many elements I enjoyed – not only the typical holiday romance, but also the danger and suspenseful elements which come along with the kidnapping. I was gripped almost immediately by the absurdity of the elf and when everything else starts coming together I was blown away.
Marcie’s latest job also seems to require her to complete a list of tasks with an old elf. This is just the beginning of the strange things about this job, but I won’t give any spoilers. When Marcie and Ted meet and there’s instant chemistry, so they pursue this connection and you get all the feels. But there’s still a lot left in the story, so you know something is about to go down! I could not put this down until I knew what was going to happen. I was too invested.
When Ted returns from a family event, Marcie has seemingly disappeared and so Ted begins to put things together. And so begin the twists that lead to the answers around this mystery elf and all the strange happenings.
Festive but action packed, I loved it! It was well written and the development and set up was subtle but worked so well. The darker side was balanced so well with the lighter holiday romance and it was right up my alley. I love the darker twisted stuff but also love the cheesey holiday romances, so combine the two and it was just what I wanted!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Marcie Hayes is a young woman with a nomadic lifestyle, she moves from place to place so that she can work as an in-home dog sitter where she temporarily moves into a client’s house so that she can look after their dog while they are on holiday, and she loves it. Normally she thoroughly checks out her clients beforehand, however, a last-minute offer in the Pocono Mountains has her changing her routine, including following the instructions left by the owner, however, in this case, she is having trouble with it because of her slightly rebellious nature and the ridiculous demands within it.

These demands include a creepy antique elf which must be posed every day in certain ways so that the owner can enter an online contest, but Marcie is not impressed and decides to do it but change things up slightly if circumstances lead to a better opportunity. While she is not happy about the elf, she is more than happy with the dog, a loveable King Charles Spaniel who loves nothing more than cuddles and walks, as long as the elf is nowhere in sight.

As the days pass, Marcie meets another resident, a tall, dark and handsome man called Ted, an RAF Pilot who also owns a dog and they are immediately attracted to one another, the connection is strong and even better, the dogs get along too and as they spend more time together, the flirting and chemistry heighten, but when Ted has to go away to a wedding, leaving Marcie home alone with the dogs, she suddenly goes quiet and Ted has a bad feeling.

When he returns to the Mountains, his worst fears come to fruition when he finds that Marcie may have been abducted, but he is determined to get her back, but will he be able to do this in time and find the breadcrumbs leading to her, or will Marcie become as lifeless as the antique elf before he can? This is a festive romance with a dash of danger, as this sweet romance turns into a race against time to rescue a damsel in distress by her knight in shining armour.

This book has it all. A little romance, suspense, thriller, and smiles. I was caught between wanting to binge read the entire thing and wanting to put it down so that I could take my time reading it.
From the very start I enjoyed reading about Marcie and was so excited when she found Ted. Beverly is annoying and Zeke is just a creep. As the story goes on, those feelings only intensified.
A great read! I enjoyed it and will be putting more Debra Parmley books on my TBR list for sure!

Book 1: Bryanna and Damien’s story. Bryanna, a strong and independent young woman, finds herself in some trouble. All she was trying to do was protect her loved ones. Damien is a top notch body guard to one of the richest men in the world and he has been given the task of finding Bryanna. He didn’t think it would be as hard as it was to find her, but once he does he doesn’t expect to end up having feelings for her. <br /><br />Book 2: Dereck and Layla’s story. Dereck has been asked to help out on a case he figured it was just another job. The last thing he was expecting was the spitfire that was Layla Contreras. Her sister and friend have both been kidnapped and she is determined to get them back at any cost. She has secrets that could easily be spilled and she doesn’t know who she can trust. Not even Dereck is trustworthy no matter how much he tries to convince her he is trying to help. <br /><br />I enjoyed these books. Although they are a bit fast paced you can feel the heat coming off the pages. Even though the female leads were strong willed and independent their male counter parts suited them perfectly. I started in the middle of this series so I will be going back to read the others. The author did a good job and I can’t wait to discover more of their work.<br />

Auctioned Surrender is the second duet in a series. Via Mari has included two books in this book just like Whispered Surrender had the first two Auctioned Surrender has books three and Four. I think this is nice for the shorter romance books because you ultimately get more in the novel and can jump straight into the next book. Book one is auctioned and it follows Bryanna and Damian’s story and book two Relentless follows Layla and Dereck. This novel was par for the course with this authors books full of drama, suspenseful, and intriguing with well developed characters that just jump off the page. You will be reading well after bedtime.

Auctioned Surrender is the second book in the Sinful Duets and is a wonderfully written Billionaire Dark Mafia Romance that will have you turning the pages till the end. This is one author I never hesitate to read whatever she writes. Her style of writing and attention to detail makes for an epic story. There’s just the right amount of drama, action, danger, suspense, steam and so much more. This is Bryanna and Damian’s story. She’s fierce and finds herself in a situation where she’s trying to protect her family (neice,nephew and mom) Things get serious when a young girl is kidnapped. Now the race is on to find the missing girl and protect her. Damian thinks it’s going to be get in get the girl and get out. But what happens next? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. As always im looking forward to reading more from this Author.
