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

This was phenomenal! Absolutely nerve wracking but brilliant!

Hannah Patel , public defender, tragically lost her brother and she is so focused on her career and family but she also has an admirer aka a stalker and he’s getting bolder , she’s in danger and because she’s seen as the enemy her support is next to nothing but there are still some good guys out there and they come to her aid ….

Hannah enjoys rowing and it’s her release and I’ll be honest she makes it look rather tempting 😉I love her gentle heart and that volunteers at a shelter ❣️🐾and that’s how Oscar joins her family and bless his little canine heart he comes through when she needs it most ! Love you buddy 🥰🐾

Doyle is on a sabbatical after a rather harrowing case but when a friend calls in a favour he sees the real danger lurking ..,.

Things really get hairy at a stage and I’m so grateful Doyle is around and that he knows people that can help and just as it looks like everything is safe you get this eerie feeling and spot on some more hair raising action comes our way ! But all is well that ends well😉and there were some really “ oh my gosh “ moments for me where I thought this is it , she’s a goner and she’s braver than I would’ve been !

Newly pinned deputy Jolie Murdoch’s first big job as a McIntire County deputy is to locate a missing girl. What Jolie doesn’t expect is to stumble upon a corpse—the girl’s father–with a prime suspect still hanging around. But why would local bartender Xavier Hartmann go off the deep end and bludgeon a man to death?

A former marine, Xavier is barely coping with a traumatic brain injury, and he has no memory of what happened at the crime scene. He came to Eider to confront his past, not get embroiled in a murder as the number one suspect. To make matters worse, as the mystery deepens, Xavier finds himself drawn to the reluctant deputy.

As Jolie fights against mounting pressure to get to the truth, she realizes there’s more to Xavier than meets the eye. But someone is lingering on the fringes, determined to put a stop to her investigation and Xavier’s freedom. Will Jolie do her sworn duty or buck the status quo to give her and Xavier’s newfound passion a chance?

Winter Austin perpetually answers the question: “were you born in the winter?” with a flat “nope,” but believe her, there is a story behind her name.

A lifelong Mid-West gal with strong ties to the agriculture world, Winter grew up listening to the captivating stories told by relatives around a table or a campfire. As a published author, she learned her glass half-empty personality makes for a perfect suspense/thriller writer. Taking her ability to verbally spin a vivid and detailed story, Winter translated that into writing deadly romantic suspense, mysteries, and thrillers.

When she’s not slaving away at the computer, you can find Winter supporting her daughter in cattle shows, seeing her three sons off into the wide-wide world, loving on her fur babies, prodding her teacher husband, and nagging at her flock of hens to stay in the coop or the dogs will get them.

She is the author of multiple novels, with more on the way.

Beautiful Dangerous (Philly Heat Series Book 4) by Becky Flade

Beautiful Dangerous is the fourth book in the Philly Heat Series and is a wonderfully written Romance Suspense that will keep you turning pages until the end. It’s a very intriguing yet intense at the same time. I’ve read other books by this author but this one is definitely my favorite yet. There are twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. The characters are developed, there’s definitely chemistry and they bring the story to life. They’re raw yet relatable. These two have serious chemistry between but they both have pasts that seem to lurk. Hannah just wants her lurking stalker to be caught so she can go back to having a semi normal life. Doyle will do anything to protect her but that’s not a guarantee with the crazy stalker. This story will keep you hooked till the end. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Atonement (The McIntire County Series: #1)Atonement by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First off i just want to say thank you to Austin for broaching a subject that many either shy away from or that is taboo to other PTSD is a very real thing ! I salute you for “ going there” secondly thank to all those who go to war to keep me and mine safe 🙏 I honour you and your families and your sacrifice ❣️
Another thing that got me is Cando and others like him , what happens to service dogs ?

Nicolette Rivers aka Nic , first female sniper , now retired from the marines is working as a deputy in Mctinre county and we meet her having to the unimaginable but the necessary, she has to a man to save his wife and children , she manages one but not the other and most of the townsfolk are questioning her and giving her a hard time but she followed orders …. People are dying by their own hand and something is amiss , my worries was that she’d be next ! She’s vulnerable with the ghosts that chase her and theses people that are dying by their own hand aren’t doing it by choice they’re being assisted! Twisted I know ! Someone had a god complex and is dumbed “The priest “

Due to Nic being involved in a fatal shooting and investigation / debrief has to take and Detective Con O Hanlan , our Irish Yumminess joins the story , trust me to find a little spark 🔥 but what can I say I’m a sucker for the accent 🤣🫣 anyhoo back to the task at hand ….

Nic and hee spitter ended up getting romantically involved and after a specific incident he took his life and she found him and it hones for me because I lost my mum to suicide so my heart just aches for Nic and having to carry on after is very hard and this new case is a massive trigger for her and I’m so grateful to Con for being there for her !

I’ll just say this expect the unexpected, what seems to be obvious isn’t and just as I thought I I knew who “ Tbe priest “ was I’d be left in the dust again , you’re kept on your toes 😉

There were other elements that added to this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read , Con’s family own the local pub so there’s that element which is warm and inviting , it’s home if you like , Cando, the German shepherd , adopted by Con after his retirement from the military ( thank you for your service 🐾❣️) and while he follows order he has a soft spot for Nic that’s for sure and again I’m floored at the compassion of animals , there’s romance yes and it’s enough to take the edge off the tension of this read ….there’s family drama as well , as I said a little bit of everything thing and expect the unexpected 😉

Looking forward to more of Winter’s writing it’s almost fictional non fiction if that makes sense ….

Born to Die (The McIntire County Series: #2)Born to Die by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Born to Die is the second book in the McIntire County book series and another great romantic suspense/mystery from Winter Austin. This book is its own case/story but we do meet Cassy and Boyce in Book one, Atonement, which is the story of Cassy’s sister, Nicolette, and Con. We hear a continuance from book one of their life over the past two years but we get plenty of suspense, twists, and turns concerning Boyce and Cassy. Cassy and Boyce have a history and a bitter one at that because she got hurt and he ran away when she needed him the most claiming his job would get in the way and ruin a case they were building on his mother. So struggling with her own mental health and PTSD she is shocked to find him re-entering her life to aid a murder/bank robbery case in McIntire County. Can she find it in her head to solve this case, and in her heart to trust him again? Winter has written another winning novel in my book.

Born to Die (The McIntire County Series: #2)Born to Die by Winter Austin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the McIntire County series and links back to the first. For this reason, I would recommend reading the first book prior to this one. In this book we follow Cassey and Boyce working on a case involving a dead officer. This is a well-written novel with plenty of suspense, secrecy, danger and romance.
Cassey is strong, attempting to overcome an incident in her past which continues to affect her but is determined not to allow it to hinder her.
Boyce is an interesting character with a surprising background which has caused him to hurt Cassey (unwillingly) in their shared history.
The pair are thrown back together in order to solve the case of the dead officer, and things between them are rocky. The chemistry is there, you can practically feel it sizzling on the page, and I was rooting for them since the moment they ‘reconnected’.
I really enjoy books which have great character development, and this book has that. The growth that you see in both Cassey and Boyce as they work through their issues was exactly what I hoped to encounter, and it added to my enjoyment of the plot.
This was another great read from the author, and I look forward to more!

Born to Die (The McIntire County Series: #2)Born to Die by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Born To Die is the second book in The McIntire County Series. It is a gripping romantic suspense book that centers around the character of Detective Cassy Rivers. We first met Cassy in Atonement, the prequel to this book. If you have not yet read the first book, I highly recommend that you do as there are details that will overlap. Cassy is the sister to Nic Rivers who was the main character in the prequel, Atonement. She is still dealing with the aftermath of barely escaping from her life two years ago. Now faced with the tragic death of a fellow officer and a string of robberies she must ask the help of her ex against her best wishes. This man broke her heart and has left her with trust issues. What she does not realize is that her ex, Boyce, had very good reasons for doing so. As Boyce and Cassy work side by side the attraction between them grows and things heat up in more way than one.

This book was another well written story with a strong female character who persevered and battled through her own demons. The relationship between her and Boyce was an interesting dynamic that kept me reading so I could see how it all played out. The two clearly had feelings for each other but because of how it ended, Cassy had trust issues. Boyce had his reasons for leaving and did so to protect her, but she still felt betrayed. This book had action, suspense, drama, lies, secrets, betrayals, passion, and romance. I look forward to reading the next book in this fantastic series!

Born to Die (The McIntire County Series: #2)Born to Die by Winter Austin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I did not read book one of this series, although I feel they can be read separately since we are told what does happen in book one and book two reads as a great stand alone, I feel I should go back and read the first to get a better chemistry between Cassy and Boyce. I do like them together and I did like the romance, but I felt like something was missing and I that’s on me for not reading the first one. Saying that I really enjoyed the story, you’re hooked right from the beginning. It’s a nice mystery with suspense and I like the added family drama from both characters. I wasn’t suspecting Boyce’s mother to try to come around Cassy, I do wish there was a little more drama with the FBI but there are other murders to be solved. I really liked Cassy’s character; I’ve seen other reviewers say she has had great character growth since the first book. I feel she’s kind of badass, she went through so much in book one, leaving her with PTSD, it’s nice that we see how she is still scared of going into the woods, but she’s working through it and still trying to do her job and she’s doing a great job at it as well.

I bet no medical examiner ever expects remains found under a building would bring a dormant serial killer out of hiding. That’s exactly what happens though after a massive explosion unearths some old bones. Trudy Beasley is the Assistant Chief Medical Examiner in Philadelphia, and she intends to figure out this mystery. Her counterpart, Forensic anthropologist Benjamin Roberts, disagrees that there is a legal reason to try to figure out the truth. Being on the same side they of course work together closely during the investigation and their professional relationship turns into a romantic one. The secrets they have unearthed brings danger to their lives and could potentially spell the end of their newfound romance. Someone intended to have their secrets remain hidden with those bones even long after they were gone. Now though, they must stop the investigation at all costs. Will Benjamin and Trudy be able to stop the killer before they find another victim, or worse become a victim themselves? I am absolutely enjoying this author and her writing style. The characters all go so well together as well. Sure, they are in close proximity with their professions, but the relationships have all grown organically. The twists and turns will keep you turning the pages and anticipating what is going to happen next. This is a great series to add to anyone’s collection.

Hannah Patel is still dealing with the tragic passing of her brother more than a year after he passed. Noone of course ever gets over losing their loved ones, especially if they’re close. She withdrew from everything both personally and professionally. In doing so she unfortunately let her guard down and a man that was obsessed with her was able to get too close. Detective Doyle Murphy is taking a break from working cases as he analyzes whether or not he wants to continue on in this line of work. He becomes Hannah’s bodyguard and is doing his best to keep her safe from her crazy stalker. Due to their forced proximity, Hannah and Doyle have the opportunity to strike up a relationship that starts out innocently enough, but soon turns into something more. This of course causes her stalker to up his game and become even more obsessed with getting her. Will Doyle be able to keep her safe from harm? Will their relationship be able to flourish, or will the crazed stalker get what he believes is rightfully his? This was a great book with a lot of twists and turns. It keeps you turning the pages and anxious to see what is going to happen next. I really enjoyed the characters and growth of their relationship. After reading this book I am looking forward to reading the others in this series.

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

 

4.5 Stars

 

Beautiful Dangerous is the fourth book in the Philly Heat series by Becky Flade. It is another tense and intriguing romantic suspense- with an unhinged stalker on the loose, danger, mystery, drama, intense developments, emotion, chemistry, sizzle, action, forced proximity, a quest for redemption, and more.
As I have said before, this author certainly knows how to tell a gripping story and has once again crafted a tight, well-woven, and intriguing plot. I have devoured this series, excitedly pouncing on each new instalment as they release, and have loved them all- but have to say that I think this is my most favourite of the series, so far.
The characters have been skilfully crafted into fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. They are not only relatable, but entirely realistic and believable- which made this story all the more convincing and engrossing.
Philly Heat is a series of standalone books, where each instalment focuses on a different ‘couple’- but there are some interconnected characters/details which tie the whole series together. I recommend reading the previous books, too- because they are fantastic reads in their own rights.
This is Hannah and Doyle’s turn, and I was pulled into their story right from the beginning, becoming fully invested in them and the outcome of their story. They are both damaged and bruised souls in their own way, and have been through so much already- but fate isn’t finished with them quite yet as they are thrust together while danger circles- sparks ignite and their simmering chemistry starts to boil over. But with an unhinged stalker in the mix, things take a complicated turn when Hannah and Doyle’s connection drives the stalker to dangerous new heights. What happens makes for a gripping read..
Looking forward to more in this series!
Happy reading!

Thank you, Becky Flade!

The Mother's ThreatThe Mother’s Threat by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another interesting read by this author taking place in non other, Millersville. This is the first book by this author that didn’t feel like it came completely out of left field. Violet recently opened her own security firm and upon meeting her first client, finds herself deep in a security issue. This book really touched on how much individuals in high places are so easy to dismiss those not in their circle. Violet really had to hold her own, even after finding out that her mom is one of the masterminds of these protests. This is a standalone and no other book needs to be read to know what is going on, however, the glimpses into previous books were a nice nod to the others that take place I’m Millersville.

This book was so so good. The right amount of intimacy for the “scary” parts. the twist at the end, I sort of saw it coming but not happening the way that it did. I love the build-up of this story and the suspense. This wasn’t my typical genre but I am very glad that I chose it. The red hair and the olive skin. The family dynamic and the realism in the storyline. I found it predictable but not. Hanna is a bomb lawyer and has a fire to her that Doyle is attracted to but he is taking a leave for personal reasons from work but something brings them together. I loved this book and highly recommend it.

This is another brilliant addition to this intriguing series and I think it has to be my favourite in the series so far. The story is full of twists and turns and it utterly captivating. I felt like it was never a given as to which way it would all turn out, and that kept me on the edge of my seat.
The characters have undeniable chemistry which draws you in all the more. Hannah and Doyle really made the book for me, adding that icing on the proverbial cake. They each seemed to have so much going on and yet came together convincingly. This is a well written and suspenseful book that is truly enjoyable.

Born to Die (The McIntire County Series: #2)Born to Die by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Born to die is the second book in the McIntire Series, and a followup to Atonement. This is another romantic suspense centered around a strong lead female, and touching on real life issues such as PTSD. Deputy Cassy Rivers narrowly escaped a lunatic two years prior and a string of thefts reunites her with an old flame. Enter Boyce Hunt, a fellow officer that just so happens to be her ex. Working a case with your ex has to be absolutely awkward and a struggle in itself. Can the two get along and solve the case? Will feelings of resentment deter the outcome? Maybe the old flame will be rekindled? Born to die can be a stand-alone book since it does not follow the same characters from Atonement, but there are interlinking details that pull you back to book 1, so I recommend grabbing them in order (so far). I liked this one just as much as the first book, and I can definitely see the story developing more into book three!

I loved the intensity and suspense of this story. Right from the beginning, I was pulled in. I have never read a romantic suspense that started with such an intense scene as a direct punch to the face. The female protagonists are both strong women just trying to do the right thing. The male protagonist is just trying to help. I found the writing to be perfect for a romantic suspense. I love how the author has just the right words to give you the feel of a thriller/suspense. You just feel the edge to the story as you try to figure out the creep and root for the romance. I enjoyed the story and really recommend the story/series to romantic suspense lovers out there.

With secrets, lies, threats, danger and a stalker, just to name a few, it’s so easy to get lost in and the pages keep on turning. Add in romance, drama, fear and suspense what more do you need.
Becky’s narrative is told through different POV’s which I really enjoy in a story because we learn so much more about the characters this way. The characters are fully realised, complex and you can’t help but become invested in them and feel that you are in on the journey with them.
Doyle is determined that nothing will happen to her but with her unstable stalker on the lose nothing is guaranteed.
Hannah just wants her life back but with someone out there lurking in the shadows her life will never be the same again.
The chemistry between Hannah and Doyle is undeniable and I really, really liked them.
How far would you go to save the one you love?

Beautiful Dangerous is an entertaining romantic suspense novel, that I recommend you read if you love this genre.

The Mother's ThreatThe Mother’s Threat by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

New author for me, but I will be reading more. There is suspense, intrigue, danger, tension, drama, secrets, and unexpected twists in this book.

Violet is opening a security business and just clinched a great protection gig for her first job. While starting her protection duties, stresses are coming to a head in town and protestors, rioters and vandals are actively working against her. As she was sharing her information with her parents, they get a little shady about the details of an upcoming trip they’re taking.

Violet is trying her best to offer her protection services, but those who have come to the area to help stir up the unrest are coming for her. Why would they be specifically on the lookout for Violet? Because her mother is there as a leader of the protests and is leaking them information that is very dangerous for her daughter to have them know.

The mother and daughter find themselves facing off and Violet is forced to face so many emotions that go along with loving someone but not liking them or agreeing with them. Angst, fear, tension, family drama, and so much danger and betrayal for Violet in her first big contract. The characters were well written and intriguing, the mother was SO FRUSTRATING and unwilling to protect her daughter, the ending was mildly anticlimactic after so much angst and strain throughout the story, but it was good and I’ll certainly be reading more.

Born to Die (The McIntire County Series: #2)Born to Die by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The second in the series and no loss of thrill, mystery, or great character building. I enjoy these types of books so much and appreciate getting to read books where I get to grow to love me learn the characters. This book was gripping, in a can’t-put-down-must-see-what-happens way. It took me on a roller coaster and the push and pull between main characters was amazing. Really enigmatic read and left me excited to see what is next for the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Born to Die (The McIntire County Series Book 2) by Winter Austin a great romance suspense

Deputy Cassy Rivers’ heart is in danger as trouble is on the loose in rural Eider, Iowa. She narrowly escaped a terrifying ordeal at the hands of a lunatic two years ago, but not without scars. She now needs to put her trust in the one man who destroyed her heart after a string of random thefts results in the violent death of a fellow officer.Boyce Hunt, an FBI agent, is aware that individuals with a past like his shouldn’t commit. He once parted ways with Cassy in order to shield her from his mother’s criminal enterprise’s extortion and manipulation. However, their attraction rekindles as they grudgingly work together to apprehend the current Bonnie and Clyde terrorizing McIntire County, separating Boyce between the two loyalties.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.
