This is my first read by Becky. I started with her 6th book in the series and now I HAVE to go back and read the rest! Becky had me glued to this book from page one! It’s a romance but add the feeling of a now a day crime story. You have a murder, twists and turns and a real feel of what today’s society could be like for kids in the system. You have Maddie, a former foster kid with no family turned social worker that is trying to protect Kat who witnessed a murder. Kat went into the system after her grandmother passed and they are trying to get in contact with her now legal guardian; her older brother Nate who is currently overseas. In this book you will see not only romance blossom (very minimal spice) but also friendship and family. You’ll witness the tragedy and betrayal. Just wait for the shocking turn of events towards the end. My husband jumped when I yelled “what?!?”!
I could not put it down! Thank you Becky! I am hooked with your writing and style!
I absolutely love Becky Flade’s gift for story telling. I’m always hooked from the first few lines. Although this story is about love it isn’t just the romantic kind. We also see friendship and family form. Maddie and Kate bond is just as important as Maddie and Nate. I think Becky did a great job with showing the side of foster care that most of us never experience or hear of. There are some sensitive topics so fair warning before you start.

A Safe Place is the sixth intriguing instalment in the Philly Heat series by Becky Flade. It seems like this series just gets better and better with each new addition, and Ms. Flade has upped the ante here, yet again producing another fantastic romantic suspense. Well-woven with plenty of drama, tension, danger, mystery, tragedy, betrayal, suspenseful developments, emotion, chemistry, intensity, crime & investigation, family, friendship, a ruthless killer, and clever twists- Ms. Flade had me hooked right from the get-go. This book has all the ingredients needed to keep me engrossed from beginning to end, especially- -a teenage runaway who is witness to a gruesome murder ✅ -the caring and protective social worker who is assigned to the case ✅ – the teens older, strong, kind, and skilled older brother ✅ -a ruthless killer ✅ -a bit of a game of cat-and-mouse with the killer on the hunt to eliminate loose ends ✅ -suspenseful developments ✅ -chemistry/spice ✅ The Philly Heat series is made up of standalone stories, where each instalment focuses on a different main cast- but there are some interconnected characters/details/threads which tie the whole series together. So, I recommend reading the previous books- to get a firm foundation, and because they are all fantastic reads in their own rights. As I have said numerous times before, I have really enjoyed this series, and excitedly pounce on and devour each new instalment as they release- and as each new addition seems to slightly eclipse the previous ones, it definitely makes it harder and harder for me to choose a favourite, as they are all so good. Looking forward to more from Ms. Flade! Happy reading…

Book #1 Mistaken Identity by Stephanie R. Caffrey was such a thrilling read, I couldn’t put this book down! I love the characters and how feisty they are, especially our main female character, Evelyn, who finds herself in a messy situation when she is mistaken for someone else while traveling abroad. Patrick happens to be at the airport looking to prevent Megan from going on the run, when he accidentally grabs Evelyn instead, who happens to look similar to Megan. All this mess happens because Megan, who was in a hurry to get onto the airplane, bumped into Evelyn and accidentally grabbed the wrong travel bag. Due to this accident, Evelyn was left holding Megan’s bag, which puts her in a very dangerous situation. Throughout this book we see Evelyn forced to step out of her comfort zone, and continually have to fight for her life, and the lives of her new friends. This story is so realistic, it will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what may be waiting right around the corner! There is a budding romance throughout the story, that is beautifully intertwined with the thrills of mystery and danger. What a wonderful touch to have a slow to develop romance that stayed in the bounds of old-fashioned courtship, showing that there are good men still out there who respect women’s morals.
Book #2 This is the second book of the London Detective Agency series. It focuses on James, who investigates a stalker case for the local bakery owner, Tessa. This book continues along with the first book in the series and contains all of our favorite characters and many new ones. I loved how James finally finds someone to keep him from being such a huge workaholic in the office and gets him to get out a little more from his daily habits of spending way too much time at work. What a great mystery that has you second-guessing who the stalker may be. It casts a light of suspicion at so many of your favorite characters but beware not all are as good as they seem. This book has a lot of exciting scenes in it and will make you anxious to read it from cover to cover, so grab a snack and get ready for a fun read. Happy reading everyone, until next time! @Brandy Rymer 10/2024

Caffrey – Review by Brandy Rymer
This is a fantastic set of books 1 and 2 in the London Detective Agency series. I loved both stories. Book 1 – Mistaken Identity This is the first book in this series. The FMC is set to study abroad in her graduate program but when her bag gets mixed up with another woman. This gives her a major mistaken identity and she is forced to rely on the MMC. He is a private investigator and is trying to bring down the not so nice guy. He needs to protect her, she needs to survive the whole ordeal and together they try to avoid their feelings for each other. This is a great first read.
Book 2 – Be My Little Baby
This is book 2 in the London Detective Agency. Tessa is a bakery owner who doesn’t expect to be thrust into the limelight the way she is with her new bakery and has to go to James for help when an over zealous stalker will not stop. For his part he tries to follow his don’t date clients rule but, well he fails. This book is funny, well written, and a great story.
After losing her grandmother, Kat ends up in temporary foster care while the state tries to find her brother, Nathaniel. When the situation at the foster home leaves Kat feeling unsafe she runs away. While on the street she witnesses a murder and becomes a target. Maddie is the social worker who gets called in to help. She takes Kat home with her until her brother can make it back to town. Maddie and Nate feel an immediate connection. Will Nate be able to keep both Kat and Maddie safe? Will Maddie be able to trust in her feelings for Nate or will he leave like everyone does?
I loved the combination of suspense and romance in this book. The spice level is low but it definitely has all the emotions needed for a good romance. Maddie’s past leads her to be closed off from love and her struggle with her burgeoning feelings is very well written. And with any good suspense, I didn’t see the twist at the end coming at all. I’m looking forward to delving into more of the Philly Heat Series.
I adore this series! This all starts off with a slam(quite literally) and keeps you drawn in from there. I was ready to see what was next and felt like I never quite knew what was going to happen. Evelyn is a wonderful character with an array of feelings that you can totally understand while reading what is going on. Patrick is great and when you get more of his backstory, he becomes even more relatable. Them together is so fun. James is supportive of Patrick and then you get to learn more about him and boy is it amazing. He takes his job seriously and wants to do his best in building the business. He’s trying hard to resist his attraction to Tessa, but with Patrick and Evelyn egging him on, it’s difficult. Tessa is also wonderful. She is goal driven and doesn’t want to let anything get in her way. From mystery to thriller, romance to comedy, this series covers it all and kept me interested the whole way through. I would recommend this series to anyone!

Caffrey – Review by Jessie Hopkins
The story of Kat, Madison and Nate is a perfect balance of sadness and joy. The care and patience shown for Kat by both Madison and Nate knowing she is going through an impossible situation was glorious. Madison, with her own horrible past, was the adult all foster kids need in their life. She’s caring, patient and kind. Understanding of the needs of Kat. She puts Kat first no matter what. Nate, Kat’s older brother, also puts Kat first. He shows such concern for his little sister and puts her first no matter what. Of course there is everything to love about Bravo, that puppy is the puppy everyone needs.

Another enjoyable and engaging novel in this exciting series. In this gripping romantic suspense story fifteen year old Kat is the witness to a gruesome murder. Maddi O’Hara is the social worker tasked to provide emergency housing for Kat, who is thought to be a flight risk. Whilst Maddi is hopeful to reunite Kat with her older brother Nathaniel, it soon becomes clear that Kat is in danger. The man the police are looking for is hunting Kat, and Maddi and Nathaniel put their own lives at risk to protect her. Nathaniel finds that he is falling in love with Maddi, but with the danger from the murderer escalating they may not get a chance at a life together. I was hooked from start to finish by this fast paced story with plenty of unexpected twists and turns. The characters and the setting came vividly to life through the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the storyline. I have enjoyed the previous five books and recommend reading all six books which currently make up the series!

London Detective Agency: The Complete Series Boxset is the third instalment in the London Detective Agency series by Stephanie R. Caffrey. It contains the two books that comprise the series (so far), so it’s a fantastic way to binge this romantic suspense series. Ms. Caffrey has produced well written and intriguing tales, imbued with plenty of tension, mystery, danger, investigation, a private investigator element, chemistry, angst, emotion, secrets, and gripping dramatic developments. –Mistaken Identity (Book #1): What should have been the opportunity of a lifetime for graduate student Evelyn Stevenson turns sour quite quickly- propelling her into a situation she could never have imagined. With the help of a PI, Evelyn must navigate this new situation, hopefully before it’s too late. –Be My Little Baby (Book #2): When Tessa Lopez, who owns a bustling little bakery in London, is targeted by a stalker, the police fail to help her- so she turns to PI James Moore to help put a stop to her torment. I don’t want to spoil it for you, suffice to say that what happens makes for quite a gripping read. While I really enjoyed the first book, Mistaken Identity, this instalment is even better. It did start off a little slow, but the pace picked up pretty quickly and I was soon pulled into all the intriguing developments.

This series is absolutely incredible and I cannot recommend it highly enough .If you are looking for the perfect blend of romance and suspense in a fast-paced thrill ride, pick this up!
Book 1: Mistaken Identity – This was an absolutely phenomenal first book in the London Detective Agency series! The real world did not exist to me once I opened this book, and I didn’t return until I finished the last page. Typically, when I pick up romantic suspense books, they lean heavily on either the romance or suspense. This book somehow balanced both equally, and I loved it! Evelyn is traveling and her bag gets accidentally swapped by another lady named Megan. Patrick is a PI focusing intently on finding Megan…who looks an awful lot like Evelyn. The chemistry between Patrick and Evelyn is palpable and getting to see them react to each other was wonderful. The tension will keep you captivated throughout the entire story. I highly recommend picking this up if you are looking for a fast-paced, intriguing suspense-filled read!
Book 2: Be My Little Baby – This is the second book in the London Detective Agency series, and I enjoyed it even more than the first! While you could possibly read this book without reading the previous one first, I highly recommend picking them up in order. Not only are they just magnificent and complement each other, but getting the background of each character is important in the grand scheme of things. James and Tessa are incredible characters and have been very well developed. The chemistry between the two of them leaps off of the pages! I won’t give anything away, but I will absolutely recommend this book repeatedly. If you enjoy a fantastically crafted romantic suspense story, please do yourself a favor and pick this book up!
This series is the perfect mix of suspense, intrigue, and romance. Caffrey kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and kept me turning pages well into the night. The plot line for both books flows so well and there are some really great twists and turns that had me gasping as I read. This series is really just all around fantastic. In the first book, we meet Evelyn and Patrick and their character development both independently and together is phenomenal. I also love that James, the cheeky wingman for Patrick, is really such a huge part of the plot but he doesn’t come off creepy or forced. In the second book, we get James and Tessa’s story and Caffrey does it again with the character development both individually and together for these characters. What I love about these stories is that you don’t have to read one to read the other, but with them combined why wouldn’t you?! Grab this today along with your hot beverage of choice and a cozy blanket and settle in for forced proximity, witty banter, suspense, action, forbidden love, protector, damsel in distress, and an ultimate HEA.

Caffrey – Review by Megan Rea
This complete series of the ‘London Detective Agency’ has two standalone stories in one book, perfect for ‘binge reading’!
In ‘MISTAKEN IDENTITY’, graduate student Evelyn leaves home to study abroad. However, a chance meeting during her London layover changes her life forever. Then she becomes on the radar of a notorious crime boss. Having to rely on the handsome and burly private investigator Patrick Miller, who has sworn off love, to protect her definitely wasn’t in her plans. If they can stay alive then they might find love with one another.
In “BE MY LITTLE BABY’, Tessa is the owner of a popular London bakery. Tessa is also being stalked and is receiving threatening letters and photographs. She decides to ask the famous and handsome private detective, James Moore for help. The pair can’t deny their obvious attraction, but James has a rule not to date his clients.
The main characters in both stories are likeable and relatable and their chemistry comes across in the narrative. Each story has an enjoyable, engaging and exciting romantic suspense storyline, which kept me hooked throughout.

4.5 stars Stephanie has put two great stories into one book for you to enjoy and enjoy you will.
Mistaken Identity Stephanie R. Caffrey’s debut novel, “Mistaken Identity,” is the action-packed first book in the London Detective Agency series. This fast-paced, suspenseful romance tale will keep you entertained as the mystery unfolds. Stephanie gives us a page-turning tale full of the unknown, danger, secrets, lies, intrigue, angst, fear, hate, betrayal, revenge, and ulterior motives. What was meant to be a trip of a lifetime turns into something Evelyn never saw coming in a million years. Now her life hangs by a thread and in the hands of the mysterious PI Patrick Miller. Is she running for her life, or is she going to unravel the mystery? I look forward to reading other books to come from this author.
Be My Little Baby I was really impressed by Stephanie’s debut novel, Mistaken Identity, so I was eager to read more of her work. I didn’t have to wait long before the second book in the London Detective Agency series was released. In this sequel, PI James Moore is brought in to help when a woman’s peaceful life is disrupted by a stalker. The police were unable to assist, so she turns to James for help. The only problem is that there’s chemistry between them, but he has a rule against dating his clients. This thrilling story is packed with mystery, danger, and excitement that unfolds at a brisk pace. It’s a suspenseful romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Will James be able to uncover the stalker’s identity before things spiral out of control? You’ll have to read the book to find out. I’m looking forward to the author’s next work!
Absolutely riveting mystery series. I have read them both and I love the fact that they are now available in a complete set. This is a set full of action, humor and some romance. I loved the chemistry between the two main characters in each story. Each story had a very nice flow. The stories were written very well. They were very easy to become engaged in. The characters were very relatable. You almost felt like they were your best pals. This is a mystery set that I can definitely get behind.
This is a fantastic collection in Book 1 & 2 in the London Detective Agency series. I loved both books and the story-lines had me at the edge of my seat.
Book 1 – Mistaken Identity Wow! What a debut novel….Mistaken Identity is a intriguing, fast paced story fill with drama, mystery, greed, corruption, suspense and some romance.

Book 2 – Be My Little Baby Be My Little Baby is Book 2 in the London Detective Agency series and after reading the first book and absolutely loving it, I was excited to dive into this story featuring James.

This is a great collection of the first two books in the London Detective Agency series. They are Mistaken Identity and Be My Baby
Mistaken Identity This was such a thrilling read that was action packed right from the start. The twists and turns in this story kept me hooked and the chemistry between out two main characters is recognisable from the beginning and sizzles throughout the book. This is also the first book in the London Detective Agency Series so I can’t wait to see what else the author has in store for us.
Evelyn was all set to embark on her new life and adventure but a accidental collision with another person and picking up the wrong bag has changed her plans and added a whole level of danger to her life. The problem is the woman she collided with and that she looks almost identical to is a lady on the run. As a witness for PI Patrick Miller against a crime family she decides to flee. However in doing so she has now placed Evelyn in harms way.

Together then now need to work together to bring this family to justice while making sure the Fitzgerald crime family don’t get to Evelyn.
This story is action packed and fast paced. I enjoyed how the romance between Patrick and Evelyn was slow burning in the background of this story which only made it better. The characters are both well written and likeable. Both are strong in their own way and I loved how Patrick was focused on getting justices, you get the feeling that even if there wasn’t chemistry between him and Evelyn he would still protect her with everything he had. I am really looking forward to reading more.
Be my baby This is the second book in the London Detective Series. After enjoying the first book I didn’t hesitate in picking this book up and I wasn’t disappointed. This is a romance suspense filled with drama, intrigue, danger, and investigation.

And as they get closer together what will happen to Tessa’s stalker. The stalker is determined to have Tessa all to themselves so how will they react as the spark between Tessa and James grows. Will this lead them both into a dangerous situation with targets on their backs, or will they be able to stop the stalker in their tracks before they go too far.

A Safe Place (Philly Heat Series Book 6) By Becky Flade
I can’t say if the books in this series can be read as standalones as I have started on book six which most times is not a good thing as there could be great background information that I have missed out on. This book has plenty of twists and turns some may be somewhat of a surprise. We also have some tragedy and betrayal; I also like the writing style of this author, which by the way this is the first book I have read by her. Kat and her brother Nat were brought up by their maternal grandma after their parents died in an accident before Kats’s first birthday. Now they have lost their grandma as well. Their grandma has left her home equally to both Kat and Nat and named him as Kat’s guardian. Kat is now 15, Nat is away in the army so until they can get hold of Nat she needs to be placed in care, as this will be a temporary placement, what could go wrong? Plenty is the answer. Kat reports that the foster parent’s son had exposed himself to her instead of being mad at their son, they were mad at Kat, so she left for school and never returned to the home. This home will now be investigated as its suitability for other children to be placed there. If that is not enough for a 15-year-old to go through she is an unfortunate witness to a murder. Kat is placed under social worker Maddi’s care, while Maddi not only needs to protect Kat but is also working to reunite Kat with her brother so she can be safe in her own home. This is a book for budding love as we find Nat falling in love with Maddi, but is Maddi able to return the feelings? Grab a copy of this book to find out what happens with Kat, Nat, and Maddi.

A Safe Space is another great book by an author that I have really come to enjoy. This book is part of the Philly Heat series and is a great addition to the series. For me, this book was all about the characters. I seemed to really engage with them and I loved the dynamic they presented. Even with everything going on around them, you could feel their connection. And not just the main characters, but also with Kat. The story is exactly what I have come to expect from this series. It is exciting, action packed, fast paced and a truly enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend this book (and series and author!) to anyone.
This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the start. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. Kat witnesses something that puts her in extreme danger. Will Maddi be able to help her? Can Nate keep both of them out of danger? I don’t want to say much more and give away anything. Overall I really enjoyed this book. There were twists and turns that added a great element to the story. The characters were great. We get danger, secrets, mystery and so much more. This is part of a series. I would suggest reading all of them, but this can be read as a stand along. If you are looking for a great series to read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.
4.5 stars A Safe Place is book 6 in the suspenseful series Philly Heat. A Love Restrained is the first book in this series and you should start there before delving into the others working your way through. You won’t be disappointed. There are twists and turns and a web of cleverly woven threads to make this another engaging mystery. It is full of drama, fear, thrills, secrets, lies, threats, danger, and a murderer. A Safe Place is a compelling tale and so engrossing that it is easy to get lost among the pages. The characters are complex and fully realised and very relatable. Becky certainly puts them through their paces. Maddy is trying to help a runaway but there is more going on behind the scenes. Will she be able to keep her safe or will she be in the crossfire. Nate will do anything to keep his baby sister safe, but can he do that with a murderer on their heels? I think this book is my favourite to date, but I have thoroughly enjoyed them all.
An enjoyable heartwarming story. The main characters, Ash and Calla, are well written and I cheered for them thru out the book to find themselves and each other. The story is heartwarming and draws you into not just their lives, but those of their friends and family. I can’t wait to see how the other characters stories turn out as well.

This is a quick read but a good read. It features a little bit of romance mixed with some thriller, suspense, a plot twist, and a mystery all at the same time. Lecia and Cade are spending some time together in Europe away from the kids for the first time. Cade’s brother shows up with some interesting news. Eventually tragedy strikes. Or does it? This was definitely a good book and I hope there might be a second book on the future. I would absolutely read this book again.

This was such a great little story. Immediately sucking you in from the first page and holding that attention until the end. I was wanting more from Lecia and Cade by the end.
Cade and Lecia are in Greece as part of the band. However trouble is brewing and following them. Cade’s brother Vincent is there helping stop some incidents from happening. However the biggest one of them all is on the horizon.
Can Cade and Lecia come out unscathed? Will they figure out who is behind all the trouble being caused? Pick up this book and find out!
