From the moment I read the description for this book, I knew I wanted to read it. I was intrigued and wanted to find out what happened to the main character. Once I started reading, the book was just as intriguing. It is one of those books that is action packed, fast paced and exciting. I loved seeing how everything developed and I really enjoyed the connection between the two main characters.
This is one of those authors that really knows how to write a great story. Each one I have read is engaged and well written. I become invested in them all. This book is just as good as I have come to expect and I would certainly recommend it.

I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately and this was the perfect book for this time of the year to pull me out of it. So much to this book that will keep you guessing and turning the pages. F/F romance giving you a look into dark perception of “love.” Can’t wait to read more by this talented author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Central Florida Stories series. These books can be read as standalones, but I do recommend reading the entire series as there are characters which interconnect.
The author was able to portray the emotions of the characters very well, to the point you can’t help but get emotionally invested in them. The trauma that Hadley has experienced (as an example) and how this has affected her, changed her and the danger she’s in tugs at your heartstrings, you want to jump in and take the pain away.
The descriptive narrative paints vivid imagery that makes you feel you could step into the world alongside the characters and experience what they do.
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Hadley and Ross, the chemistry was evident, and the progression was believable. The character development was also enjoyable and believable.
This is was enjoyable read and contains doms and subs and BDSM so if this is not for you be aware of this. I’m hoping for more soon!

Liar, Liar (The McIntire County Series: #4)Liar, Liar by Winter Austin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the McIntire County series. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the others first.
As usual the author’s writing style is great, flowing well and descriptive, creating vivid imagery of characters and scenery. There were plenty of twists and secrets in this book and I think the plot has a lot of potential to be incredible, but this was my least favourite of the series so far.
This was an enjoyable story overall, but the characters are what tampered my enjoyment in this one. I really enjoy the series, but there was something about the characters that didn’t have the same realism for me. I felt for them both, and it was great that the emotion was there with their difficult pasts but as the story progressed the character interactions became less believable.
Overall this was enjoyable and I look forward to more.

Beautiful Dangerous (Philly Heat series, #4)Beautiful Dangerous by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book four of the series. This is a romantic suspense novel.

Hannah is still struggling with her brother’s murder. She turns to family and work to help get her through. Doyle is doubting his future but maybe he can redeem himself. Hannah needs protection from the person that has become obsessed with her and Doyle needs to redeem himself. Neither one of them knew that their closeness would lead to more issues.

This was a good read. The books don’t need to be read in order. There was just enough suspense to suck you in and keep you waiting to finish it. The story was well written. The progression of Hannah and Doyle’s relationship was realistic. I enjoyed this book.

I really enjoyed this book. Con and Jessica’s romance was quick but romantic. I was concerned about how fast they were moving, but could tell Con was super into Jessica and that wasn’t going away anytime soon. When tragedy struck, my heart kind of broke a little wondering how things would play out with their future. I was confused about how Jessica’s friend Syd and Con’s brother knew each other but, it didn’t deter from the point of the book. The thoughts behind the book and the concept of the story was great. I like how this author worked, helping the homeless into this book, it flowed so nicely and really makes you think how you can help in your own area.

Liar, Liar (The McIntire County Series Book 4) by Winter Austin

Liar, Liar is the fourth book in The McIntire County Series and is a wonderfully written Suspense Romance that will have you turning the pages till the end. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This author knocked it out of the park yet again her style of writing, attention to detail along with complex yet developed characters make for a epic story. This is a fast paced story about Shane and Liza and their determination to find the killer before it’s to late. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

While this is the 4th book in a series, It’s the 1st book I’ve had the privilege of reading by Becky Flade. Hannah and Doyle’s story drew me in INSTANTLY. I couldn’t put this book down, no matter how much my eye protested. The way the story unfolded kept me on the edge of my seat. I was truly impressed with how knowledgeable the author was with the way law enforcement works and how smoothly it all played out. It was like watching a movie in my head. One I will definitely be “watching” again. I will also be checking out more books in this series, and highly suggest this one!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Let me preface this with saying that I am surprised that I gave this 4 stars.
I’m an avid smut reader and this was the opposite. This was a pure romance.
It was a spiritual romance.
It was a book I didn’t know I needed to read in a time that I needed it…especially
in the state our world is in.

Saint Con is a street lawyer. A lawyer who was supposed to be a priest. A man from a good Irish family. A legend. A looker. A hero to many.

Jessica is a lawyer as well. A stuffy, prudish lawyer. A lawyer that forgot how to live life. How to live in the present…until a chance meeting with the legend himself.

And then life becomes about as discombobulated for both of them when the Saint goes missing.

Faith is questioned. God is questioned.

Faith answers. God answers.

Read the story to find out about a happily ever after…

Another great story by the author, great character and world building! Add in suspense, action, romance and a very well written story that keeps you hooked all the way to the end. I really appreciate that the author connects the characters from prior books in the series. When a dead body is found, Sheriff Hamilton decides to cut his personal time of reflection short to search for the murderer. Soon Sheriff Hamilton finds that his case is matching up with FBI agent Liza Bartholomew’s case. What will come next?
I highly recommend reading this series in order. I hope you are enjoying these books as much as I have!

This is one author I never hesitate to pick up a book from. Her work is always so well done and this book is no exception. For me, this was all about the characters and their connection. It was so strong and could be felt on each and every page. Although this is an intense story it is one that you can easily become invested in.
This book is the fourth in the series, however it can be read as a standalone. My recommendation would definitely be to read them all as they are so good and it is worth the time investment. This book was a brilliant addition to the series and has just made me want to read more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this multiple POV novel, we follow the story of Hannah Patel and Doyle Murphy.

In the aftermath of her brother’s murder, Public Defender Hannah Patel has withdrawn herself, personally and professionally. She is struggling with her brother’s murder a year later and also has to defend herself from a man that is obsessed with her.

Detective Doyle Murphy starts to doubt his career in law enforcement after a fatal error. Who would expect these two people to cross paths?

Doyle Murphy sees protecting Hannah from the man obsessed with her as a form of redemption. When the two start to develop feelings, will they be able to move forward?

I have not read the other novels in this series, but I plan to. I loved the characters and the progression of the relationship. Even more, I loved the suspense and storyline. I am not one to read or watch suspense bodies of work, but the times when I do, I get hooked.

The passing of a loved one is hard. But to lose them so suddenly and through the act of murder, my heart went out to Hannah.

The entire time reading, I did not want to put the novel down. I just wanted to read.With the twists and turns, I did not know which direction the story was going to go in. Now I am going to read the other books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We are back in the Eider police department, this time following the story of Sheriff Shane Hamilton following his “just barely” win of the election. On top of the win causing blowback, Sheriff Hamilton is dealing with two homicides and multiple cases of arson. Add the work stressors rising to the distraction of a personal anniversary, he is wanting nothing more than a bit of time to sort his feelings and emotions regarding it all.

Unfortunately, FBI agent Liza Bartholomew appears in that same time frame on a tip that a scam artist she has been pursuing for years has been spotted there. Liza has a history with Eider, and coming back was never in her plan. With a thirst for vengeance on behalf of the victims and racing to protect her career, Liza refuses to let the town sheriff hold her back, no matter what he may stir in her. When they realize their cases are connected, they have to decide to work together, in spite of their feelings on relationships and their chemistry, as well as the high stress cases and Liza ending up back in Eider.

Really have enjoyed the Eider PD series, the characters are likeable, the suspense is palpable, the writing is compelling and keeps you flipping the pages. There’s romance, danger, trauma, some steam, bad guys and the good ones who pursue them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Karina Cardinal Mysteries series. These books can be read as standalones, but I recommend reading the books in order so you can understand the characters better, their backgrounds and relationships.
I enjoy the author’s writing style; it flows well and is easy to follow. The story points come together really well, and you can tell things are thought through.
Karina continues to be her lovable self; she gets into trouble/danger and must investigate. Her strength and determination shine through and I can’t help but love her.
The plot is fun and entertaining, keeping me gripped throughout. There were moments I was left guessing and not trusting anyone, and it was great!
I am still so obsessed with this series and swiftly moved onto the next book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the McIntire County series, this can be read as a standalone but to get a deeper understand of the characters and past events which link them, I would recommend reading from book 1. In this instalment we followed Jolie and Xavier.
As with the previous books in the series, the writing style is easy to follow and the descriptive language pulls you into the story, allowing you to picture both characters and scenery.
I found the characters of Jolie and Xavier particularly interesting; their pasts were what interested me most and how this affected them. Jolie, a new deputy in charge of finding a missing girl, faces the pressure from her family and what makes her different and intriguing to me. It’s not just the usual pressures, her brother is a killer and the effect of this on her was shown quite well, I think. She’s determined and continues looking into the case and the new elements despite being given the ‘easy’ answers. I enjoyed her character development as she reminded me a little of myself in being unsure of herself, but her confidence grows, and you can see her really coming into her own. She’s one of my favourites so far.
I look forward to the next one!

Wow this book was amazing. It si a passionate love at first sight story but with so many twists and turns I wasn’t sure our couple would ever get their happy ever after.
The author’s writing really brings the characters to life and it makes this story so engaging that you won’t be able to put it down.

When Con and Jessica meet after literally bumping into each other at a bar, Con knew she was the one for him and he had to be with her. Jess on the other hand was not as confident, not wanting to get her hopes up. However Con is determined to prove to her that its love at first sight and goes out of his way to do that. So Jess is more than a little confused when their date arrived and Con doesn’t show up.
Feeling heartbroken and angry at being led on Jess leaves feeling like she was played with. She plans to move on and forget Con until it comes to light that Con is missing.

What follows is a story that at times made me cry and made me doubt that they would ever get the break to see if what they have is real. With kidnapping, amnesia, PTSD and an attack which altered the course of both of their lives will they ever be able to find their way back to each other or will what they have disappear just like Con did on that fateful day.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

No Amends was a hauntingly tragic book about a mysterious car accident that left so many people wondering what happened to Dee. Tang a writer who is suffering from writer’s block, is keeping secrets from her girlfriend Layla. What connections does Tang have to Dee, will they come out, and if so, how will Layla react to the uncertainty about their relationship? Angela Lam did a wonderful job keeping the reader engaged and constantly connecting the pieces of this romantic suspense story. The characters are so in-depth that you feel connected to them. You question what is going on in their minds, and what they are thinking when it comes out who had passed from the fatal car accident that happens in the first chapter of the book. What a great way to get a story started, to keep the reader guessing and compiling clues from the get-go. I love a good suspense romance story and was quite impressed with this strong storyline. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Chapters have different character POV between Dee and Tang,and the point in time to help keep the plot moving. The steamy scenes between the two female lovers was just about right for this type of romance. The suspense of the affair and if Tang was going to get found out kept me turning the pages. Lam does a great job of giving just enough of the secret almost slipping out for Tang to be caught, and the loneliness she feels with having no family. The suspense of the relationship Tang tries to balance and the writing of her book keep you guessing!

This was a gripping read which kept me hooked until the very last page. This was a real page turner of a psychological thriller, with a dark F/F romance and plenty of mystery and suspense. The mystery element comes from not knowing who the stranger is who was in the fatal car accident at Hangman’s Bend. Meanwhile, writer Tang Young is suffering with writer’s block and also feels guilty for something she can’t tell anyone, even her girlfriend Layla. Tang and Layla’s relationship is going through a difficult spell, when Tang begins a forbidden romance with Dee. However, Dee is not being very honest with Tang and isn’t exactly who she says she is. Once the stranger is identified other truths are revealed, no spoilers, I recommend reading this book!

What an amazing thrilling story! I loved this and sped through it like a demon. The book is filled with many tense times and action/suspense filled moments. I did struggle figuring out who is behind this mess so that even adds more excitement to the story for me. All of the characters are well done and they surprise than excite me as the story progresses. I do have a favorite moment and it’s during a fight between Hannah and Doyle. I won’t say what was said and done but I loved that whole scene.

I did read this out of order for the series. It can be read as a standalone as I had no problem following along. I think the other books characters were filtered in but they are placed as minor characters. I would love to read more in the series.

Connor O’Brien is a former priest turned street lawyer and advocate for the homeless. Jessica Knight is a corporate attorney who happens to run into “Saint Con”, quite literally. He’s a bit forward in his mannerisms and before they know it, as soon as they run into each other, they are separated. Jessica has a bad feeling about this and is about to swear men off indefinitely when new information comes to her attention that changes everything. Will Con ever return to her?

This was a gripping novella that keeps you in suspense. The story is intriguing and engaging throughout. One minute I was a fan of Con’s, the next minute I wasn’t. This is one of those I couldn’t put down until I finished it.

Liar, Liar
By: Winter Austin

Once again, Winter Austin delivers an amazing story filled with suspense that will keep you reading late into the night. Winter Austin is one of my favorite authors due to the fact that she writes believable stories filled with well developed characters. Each of these characters is flawed in a way that is believable and you find yourself invested in the characters as well as the plot line. Each book can be read as a standalone, however, I recommend reading each one because there is backstory on the characters that definitely develops throughout the earlier books. Book 4 focuses on Sheriff Hamilton. He was hoping to have some quiet time to himself, however, a body that was discovered has different plans. Liza is an FBI agent who is following a suspect who is taking her back to Eider. Eider is somewhere she’d rather not be. However, she finds herself entangled with this body that was discovered. As she works on the case with Sheriff Hamilton, she realizes there might be something else worth returning to Eider for. I definitely enjoyed this story and truly recommend it as I do all Winter Austin books! I cannot wait to see what will happen next with the cast of characters in Eider, Iowa.
