An intriguing read, one that keeps you hooked from start to finish. A book that you do not want to put down, don’t blame anyone for the book hangover you will have reading this. <br /><br />If you like your romance with a healthy dose of suspense and angst then this is definitely a book for you .<br />The character development with Nic, (ex sniper and now deputy) and Con (detective) is really well handled, taking into account their pasts, triggers, ptsd and their relationships with the other family, friends and members of the town, brings a real life feel to the story<br /><br />The suspense in the book keeps you wondering what next.<br />A definite 4.5 out of 5 and I will certainly be looking for more from this author.<br />

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the second book in the Olympic Peninsula series says WATCH THIS! Liam and Teresa are both a handful on their own but when you throw them together watch out. It is very rare that the second book rivals the first but I must admit I think I like Teresa and Liam’s story better than Joe and Ali from book one. You should read these in order as they do carry on from book one and Joe and Ali are very prominent in this second book. I am eagerly awaiting the 3rd book…. I have read the blurb and let’s just say I can’t hardly wait!

Atonement (The McIntire County Series: #1)Atonement by Winter Austin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nicolette Rivers is an ex military sniper who is now a detective in the Eider, Iowa police department.
When she is called in on a case of a dangerous man who is holding his wife and kids hostage, her boss tells her right out of the gate that if he can’t be talked down to take the shot and protect the family. He loses it and shoots his wife, so Nic takes the shot and is reminded of her past – and with it comes a whole bunch of suffering from PTSD.

Con O’Hanlon is a fellow Eider police detective who has been pining for Nic for a long time. When they pair up to investigate a rash of suicides that don’t appear to actually be suicides the more they look, Con seems to be the only person in Nicolette’s corner. He helps cover up the issues she is facing while searching for The Priest and offers so much support and strength as she spirals from her PTSD. The two of them together deal with thrills, romance, danger, suspense, chemistry…

While it’s pretty clear from early on who the killer is, and there are a lot of things unexplained, I enjoyed the world building, relationships and chemistry, and how much I learned about PTSD and how misunderstood it really is. Looking forward to watching these worlds and relationships grow and expand.

I adored this book. First in the series and started with a bang. It was gripping, twisty, and I was completely enthralled. Such a well balanced read with characters you can’t help but love I consumed this one. Such a great promise for what’s to come in the series that’s for certain! I really enjoy this type or style of novel and always feel it lacks in chemistry but atonement delivered and kept on giving!

I finished this book in one reading stint. The need to know what was happening next kept me fully engrossed in the story. It follows our main character Violet who has started her own security company. A protest in town is the task at hand for her company and one of the leaders of the protest just happens to be her mother. The atmosphere and tension of the story that unfolds leaves you feeling like you are in the protest. This book has both the suspense and the family drama.

The Mother’s Threat
By: Susan Specht Oram

Susan Specht Oram has become one of my go to authors for thrillers. This one definitely was exactly what I love about her writing, it is entertaining, suspenseful, and full of twists and turns. The Mother’s Threat features a female main character named Violet Cleveland who was incredibly relatable. She was a woman who listened to what I call her “spidey senses”. Her parents definitely were an added part to the twists and turns in the story. They were definitely a distraction for Violet but I definitely related to her worry for them. Violet (and this whole story) was emotionally charged and I found that as a large part of what I loved about the story. It kept me reading and wondering how Violet was going to handle certain situations. There were many times where I thought I would have lost my cool only to see Violet continue to try to keep a calm head and her new business open and in tact. This book was legitimately so good and I definitely loved all the twists and turns in this story. Violet was the perfect main character and her parents were the perfect opposite to her. I definitely recommend this story for anyone who loves a good thriller or anyone who loves a good strong female lead with a complicated family.

Thrilling with unexpected twists

Atonement is the first book in the McIntyre County Series and I really enjoyed it. With strong characterisation and a multilayered narrative I was glued from start to finish. The story followed Nic and Con as they navigated a series of suicides and their feelings for each other. The balance between the investigation, the romance and the drama was really well done. The writing shows how much the author understood the effects of PTSD on a person and those around them. I am really looking forward to continuing this series. Highly recommend.

The Guardsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 2)The Guardsman by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed The Guardsman, it’s the 2nd book in this series. The author wrote a follow up novel that works out quite well.
Liam has returned! Ali has her twin back, but does she? He’s changed and he has secrets to keep. Is it for good reason or just privacy to spare what really happened?
Teresa is the one who finally convinced him to admit his true identity and come home. She also has a lot on her plate she’s running from. Running right into Liam’s arms. When freak accidents start happening one starts to wonder if someone is after her.
The author navigates all these obstacles and challenges wonderfully. The growth of Liam’s character is what kept me glued to this novel. Despite his past he’s one of the good ones, however does he know that?
You don’t necessarily have to read book 1 to read book 2. It’s a series but a standalone in its own right. Now for you it’s time to check it out! Me I’m going to go back to book 1 and read it right through book 2 to see if I’m missing anything.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Mother’s Threat is advertised as a standalone thriller, but I feel like the characters are crossover from one of the author’s previous books….The book followed over Violet over an intense couple of days. She has recently opened a small security agency, and has her first big job. There is rumor of a protest, that the local police and politicians have blown off, assuming it will be a small peaceful protest. Things escalate quickly, and Violet is thrown off guard when she realizes her mother is one of the leaders of the protest. Emotions get muddy when the mother daughter duo face off. Violet is struggling to seperate work and family when they have overlapped. While the book kept me very engaged, the ending was a little Meh for me. It was a little anticlimactic after such a series of events. I still enjoyed the book, and will read others by the author.

A suspenseful romantic thriller by an author that is new to me. I Loved the writing style, the author did a great job with world building and with the characters. Part of the reason why I chose this book for my next reading choice was the main character – who suffers from PTSD and how that’s affecting her life. It’s stories like this one that make you feel how the characters are feeling that I’d like to think make me a more open minded person. These situations are tough and help make the characters stronger and I hope that it helps me to understand them better. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Atonement by Winter Austin is the first book in The McIntire County Series. In this story, we follow Nic Rivers, a former Marine and current deputy, as she is brought in to stop a killer who may be causing people to commit suicide. Nic comes with a lot of baggage from her father and PTSD from her days as a Marine. Con O’Hanlon is a detective brought in to assist Nic with her case. I really enjoyed the suspense of this story. I also enjoyed the characterization of Nic. Her PTSD and issues with her family ring very true. I also enjoyed the attraction between Con and Nic and the effort he put into trying to build a relationship with her. This was a very intriguing and engaging story.

The Mother’s Threat by Susan Specht Oram. I have loved this series and this book is no exception. You can read each of these as a standalone but I always recommend reading them in order. This is the continuing story of Violet and her mom. Violet owns a security company in the small coastal town of Millersville, Washington. When she gets her first big client, Bettermed, she is so excited. They service the medical field and they are coming to MIllersville for a conference and Violets job is to keep it safe. The only problem is Violet’s mom. She is a peaceful (usually) environmentalist and is getting together a group to protest Bettermed. When this “peaceful” protest turns into much more Violet is worried she can’t handle it. She even calls in the local sheriff but he doesn’t believe that it is a big deal. Will Violet be able to keep everything safe for Bettermed or will the protesters win? Read this fast paced thriller to find out.

I must say I did not see this coming. Violet Cleveland has a security business, one she is very happy to run. After all she has been through, you would think things couldn’t get any harder. Wrong! When your own family attacks, what is a person to do? The betrayal is so hard to imagine, as well as believable. Violet and her crew are pushed to the limit in this story. This author has once again brought forth strong independent characters. Added an unexpected host and kept me flipping the pages of this story. Forget sleep, forget snacking, forget the chocolates. If you are like me you will dive in and be stuck reading as this story has many events that will shock you. I. Really enjoyed reading this story. I hope you do too. No Spoilers!

The second book in The Olympic Peninsula series, The Guardsman tell the story of 2 lost souls trying to find their place in the world. Liam and Teresa have been through so much, on different levels and were not looking for love but the chemistry said otherwise. This well written contemporary romance has everything that makes for a great read. Looking firearm to reading more from this author. Recommend.

I thought this book was as great way to start a new series. It is an interesting take on an ex-military character. I can’t recall another book that it is the female character who was in the military, let alone a sniper. I engaged with the story easily and became invested in the characters pretty quickly. I liked the fact the author didn’t shy away from the PTSD element of the book.
This author is one that I have become recently familiar with and this is another one of her books I can say I thoroughly enjoyed. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the series.

My favorite things about this book: a female Marine sniper, a retired military war dog, and an author not afraid to tackle the very difficult topic of PTSD.

This book had it’s hooks in me from the get go. There is a series of suicides happening in the small community of Eider and they all seem to be connected. It’s up the sheriff’s department, along with the feds, to try to figure this out. Nic is bound and determined that she’s going to be the one to crack this case. Her demons keep getting in the way and putting her in harm’s way too.

Eider Police Detective Con O’Hanlon (I laughed everytime I read his name even though it’s shortened…a con as a police detective) may be the only thing that can stand in the line of fire when these demons come back to haunt Nic. She’s got to be willing to let him in to do that though!

Very well written story that has your turning pages as quickly as possible, yet also not wanting the story to end!

Wonderful book. I can’t wait to continue this series because I could feel every word Ms. Austin wrote. You could tell how much she cared about this story, about the message she was sending. It bled through every word. This isn’t my normal genre but something about Austin’s passion drew me to this book and I never looked back! Very thoughtful and thought provoking! Packed with plenty of suspense, mystery, and thrills, Atonement speaks for itself in volumes! My next trip into McIntire County can’t come soon enough! Highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a story that will make you think about life differently and have so much more respect for what people go through and what they might be hiding.

This book is an interesting and intriguing story. And for a Thriller, I thought it had an unusual but likeable focus on the characters and their relationships. It added a depth to the story that I don’t often see in this type of book. I thought the story itself was well written. It was dull of mystery and suspenseful and really knew how to keep the pages turning.
This book can ties in with a series but can easily be read as a standalone..this is a great story that I would recommend reading.

The Guardsman (The Olympic Peninsula Series Book 2) by Cat Treadgold. I love this Olympic Peninsula series. Its the second book in the series and I recommend reading the first book before due to the same characters being in this book. This is Liam’s story. Liam is a troubled man who has pretty much had to raise his sister Ali and they had a very hard time growing up. Liam was presumed dead for 3 years after being in an explosion in Israel. Ali has never stopped looking for him and when they find him, she and her husband bring him home with them. Liam is trying to heal and get his life back together and decide what he wants to do with his life. When he meets Theresa, Ali’s sister in law, he becomes very protective and feels things he swore he would never feel. As he tries to process all the emotions of what he has been thru will there be room for Theresa and will he allow himself that happiness. Read this amazing 2nd book in this series to find out!

The Mother’s Threat was interesting and the 4th book in this Millersville Series. I’ve read them all, and nothing beats the first one but this was a close 2nd. Each book is different, though based in the same town. They can be read in succession or as a standalone novel.
This book brings Violet and her mom head to head. Violet has booked her first client and she’s excited. When one starts a new business it’s sometimes hard to get off the ground. She’s contracted to protect Bettermed while they are having a nationwide conference. One problem: her mother and a bunch of other people who want to save the planet and go after corporate juggernauts are coming to protest and cause trouble. Second problem, the police chief and mayor don’t think it’s a threat. That all reports are false. Third problem: there’s 100s more than they expected and they are wreaking havoc on this coastal town.
What does Violet and her team do?
Will her mom be a problem that prevents Violet from seeing everything clearly?
Those questions and so many more as you navigate this novel. This author is a wonderful writer and keeps your mind going throughout. Edge of your seat type writing. It’s well worth it, so check not just this book out but all of them!!

The Mother’s Threat is a tense standalone by Susan Specht Oram. This story weaves a tale of complex family dynamics, drama, tension, challenges, emotion, and more.
Violet Cleveland has a lot riding on the outcome of an important security contract that gets more challenging as the hours go by. She certainly never expected that her own mother would pose a threat to her safety and the success of her mission – and we get a front-row seat as it all goes down. When the tension mounts and agendas are revealed, the stakes get much higher.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Susan Specht Oram!

Another fantastic book from this author…I loved this story right from the start. Fast paced, suspense, intrigue, secrets, crime drama that had me at the edge of my seat of what will happen next…

Violet Cleveland is owner and head of a security business that she is proud to start up. When Violet is approached to be security for a big corporation and their big meeting will take place right in their small town, but this meeting is also bringing out people whom oppose to this meeting. Talks about protests coming..but the Violet’s surprise the ring leader is her own mother, Daisy. Violet wants to not only protect her client but the town as well and lets the mayor and chief of police in on what may happen only to get ignored multiple times. Daisy brings mayhem at every corner and Violet desperately tries to stay ahead that no one is hurt. Will Violet be able to protect her client like she promise or will Daisy and her followers protests turn an ugly corner?

This is a fantastic read and I highly recommend. The characters are fantastic and I loved how strong Violet was even when her own mother took advantage of her….and the relationship they had.
Can I just say I also loved the bar owners in this story as well…….made me smile…..

Atonement is book one in The McIntire County series. I was hooked from the start. Who doesn’t like a romantic thriller with a mystery to be solved? It was awesome to see a story where the PTSD of our veterans is part of the plot. I enjoyed the not-so-perfect characters with emotional issues and it helped move the plot along.

3.5 stars
The Mother’s Threat is another psychological drama from Susan. It is a standalone book so there is no need to worry about missing out from a previous storyline.
This story is about a woman that is trying to build her life and her ever dramatic relationship with her unstable mother is complex to say the least. The twisty tale is driven by the rocky road mother/daughter relationship.
There were many times throughout that I wanted to do away with the vile woman who was supposed to love and care for her daughter. So, to say I had a hard time connecting with this woman was an understatement.
Susan also includes contentious themes within the driving of the story.
This emotionally charged tale is full of pain, frustration, heartbreak, betrayal and a lot more as one woman is ignored whilst trying to stop an all-out war.
If you like a story that is a fast-paced quick read thriller with lots of action, protests, threats and some intense moments this book may just be for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I picked up “The Mother’s Threat” because I have read other books from Susan Specht Oram and have enjoyed them. Like all of her books, the cover gives little away, which I appreciate, with simply a chain link fence, which makes me question- whom or what is being kept in? Or out?

We soon find out the main character, Violet, is a recurring character from the book Shore Lodge, whom has set up her own security service company she set up to try to right the wrongs done to her as well as fellow employees. All goes well until her mother comes to town as part of a huge environmental anti-government protest movement in the quaint town of Millersville. Throughout the book, I appreciated how both of the main characters learn to forgive and move on, as well as grow their mother/daughter relationship- to an extent. I thought the ending was highly predictable, but this book was still worth reading to discover how Violet solves her maternal issues.

The most memorable part of the book was the tension and atmosphere created by the author- I really felt like I was in the middle of a protest, at times. The vivid descriptions of the actions of the protestors, the police, and Violet’s company were highly realistic and fearful, as they were, what would happen next.

This book will grab you and won’t let up until the words “the end” come up!

Violet is setting up her own security company after years of working for others. She’s amassed a team that has experience covering all the major facets of security. When a prominent business owner approaches her for her services, she’s thinking that this will be a very easy first job. The contracts are signed and everything suddenly changes.

Violet finds herself in the midst of a battle to save not only her client, but the town in which she lives. Rioters find their way to town and just about do them in. Violet and her team are on the case, even if other officials are not.

This book has strong political undertones dealing with corruption in some of the highest local offices. It was almost impossible to put this down as the story just grew more complex with each chapter.

Who can you trust if not family? This story takes place in a familiar small town on the West Coast where nothing much happens. New business owner Violet dreams of thriving in the private security world and even has her first job lined up…but soon finds her mother standing on the opposing side when a peaceful protest gets chaotic. The author always shows complex characters in her books and even more complex relationships between them. I love the fast pace of the book and the thrilling psychological aspect to the story! I’m looking forward to the next novel written by Susan Specht Oram!
