My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story is written just right. It starts out slow but not too slow and then just continues to build. It has emotions, love, action. A lot of suspense with a happily ever after ending.

His Protector by Sara Vinduska
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining and engaging romantic suspense, which kept me hooked throughout. President Jack Amborn is left grieving the death of his wife and unborn child, following a botched assassination attempt. Although the assassin is still at large, he’s determined to carryout his Presidential duties, after all that’s what his expert security detail is for, to keep him from harm. That job goes to Secret Service agent Ginger Carver who has literally spent her life preparing for this job. She has put in endless hours, and meticulous planning and constant vigilance are second nature to her. However, she never planned for falling in love with the man that she’s duty-bound to protect! This is an action packed story, with great characters and a refreshing storyline, having a female protector for a change. I loved the chemistry between Jack and Ginger, and how their slow burn romance developed. Meanwhile, the plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story.

This was a good story that was definitely all about the characters. They had a great connection right from the start that really draws the reader in. The book is action packed and, even though it is spread over the course of 5 years, it is pretty fast paced. I enjoyed watching the relationship between the characters develop over time. This is a new author to me and I liked the flow of the book and the style of writing she used. I enjoyed this book and will be sure to read more from her in the future.

If you’re looking for a mystery thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end, P.J. Mann’s A Stranger in Disguise is a must-read. The book is written in English but is set in Italy, and the author’s use of language hints that they may be more familiar with a different language, but this does not take away from the book’s readability. The story follows Detective Maurizio Scala as he investigates the murder of a costume maker for a foreign acting group in Rome, Italy. At first, it seems like a straightforward case, but soon reveals itself to be more complicated than it first appeared. Detective Scala finds himself embroiled in a web of lies, deceit, drugs, and murder, as he discovers the victim’s ties to a bank robbery and the Romania mafia. If you’re a fan of thrillers, you won’t want to miss out on A Stranger in Disguise!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the 3rd book I’ve read in The Green Brotherhood series and I feel like it’s the best one and most put together. For a book on the shorter end Real Movie Hero I enjoyed it. Fair warning it could very well be a trigger warning for some. I do enjoy this author, I just wish the books were a little longer. I always want more whenever I finish one. The one thing I know I can count on, is all these storylines overlap, so though 1 book might be done but the next one overlaps at a point. Which makes me enjoy the author more.
Both Reed and Christie won tickets on the radio to the next great action movie’s premiere. What they didn’t know was how that night would change their lives. Initially drawn to one another after experiencing a traumatic event they are thrust into each other’s paths. Bringing them even closer together.
Will Reed be the next Seal to fall?
Will Christie get past her fears?
The author hooks you and by the time you’re into it, it’s over and you’re wanting more. This book as well as the series are worth checking out. Especially when you don’t have a lot of time. If you enjoy reading but have little time these shorter books are perfect for you!

A Stranger in Disguise: An Italian Murder Mystery by P. J. Mann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Even though this is #4 as a series, I read it as a standalone, and now I want to go back and read the first three. The story centers around multiple murdered bodies as an actors’ troupe is set to perform the cursed play, Macbeth.
As Macbeth himself says, “If it were done when ’tis done, then ’t were well
It were done quickly”- I found the book a fast read, yet intriguing. The author, P.J. Mann, does an excellent job dropping enough hints to help you solve the mystery of the murder yourself, without hitting you over the head being obvious. Enough twists and turns to keep it interesting, and if I wasn’t such a well read mystery reader, I might have solved it before Inspector Scala.
I found the banter between Inspector Scala and his colleagues to be refreshing and highly realistic- I thought I was a fellow detective working along side him. The author also characterizes the suspects well- reminds me a lot of Donna Leon’s writing, which is a high compliment. I also enjoyed the inclusion of every day nuisances like traffic refreshing because even the police have similar irks as civilians!
As a side note, while reading this, I assumed the author was male, because PJ Mann illustrates the camaraderie and banter among the male police squad spot on.

This was an amazing murder mystery story. It was so well written and well thought out that there were times that I felt like I was right there in the story myself. I haven’t read any other book in this series, but I can say that this book was great by itself, I was not confused or lost because it was so amazing that this can be read on its own. But I can assure you I will be reading more. It was very fast paced, suspense, action filled, twists and turns, gripping book that I couldn’t put it down and had to read it as fast as I could to know what Detective Maurizio was going to do or handle the situation next. This book is just a wonderful read and amazing all around, highly recommend.

This book is part of a series, but a great stand-alone read. This is a classic who-done-it and it has mysteries within the mystery. The characters are well- developed, and the plot moves along at a good pace. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes a good, clean, book in which the author does not have to resort to sordid details (that is the plot device of a poor story). This is an excellent mystery, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the characters.

Good grief if the cover alone was anything to go I’d tell you now to get your ice chips and fan on hand so that you don’t melt 🤣🙈🔥
This is the second read , different author , that I started and restarted after i redefined a word which adds a whole new dimension to the title and story within … well it made a difference for me ❣️📚
Whitney has a gift of sorts , she’s inherited it from her grandmother, anyhoo she can hear peoples thoughts and she can help them heal and there’s a woman’s voice that reaches out to her for help , a voice that needs to set the record straight, a voice that needs to heal a vengeful heart , a voice that needs to heal the hurt …..
Juliana came from an affluent and powerful family so her father was not in favour of the love she shared with Dominic so when disappears after an argument it’s easy for “ daddy dearest” to blame it on Dominic and despite the fact that he’s found not guilty 2 years later , Dominic had not only lost the love of his his but he’s also lost 2 years of life , he’s determined to crawl his way to the top and with a full of vengeance it makes for riveting reading and a man I would not want to upset …..
Whitney looks so much like Juliana so when her path crossed with that of Dominic she tastes his ire firsthand and he doesn’t hold back , he’s hurt , he’s angry , he’s cruel and Whitney better have her wits about her , Dominic is not an easy man …,
I had mixed feelings about Dominic …. First I lived him then I hated him and then I just fell in love with him again ❣️😂🙈 as for Whitney , she’s a strong , patient , compassionate and brave woman she was a healing balm of sorts 🫶🏼
A hot , spicy , twisted read that earns every star of its five star rating 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The author shares enough personality in character development to feel a connection to the main characters. There is a balance within the romance that made this an easy to read book. While some of the storyline wasn’t relatable, which I typically prefer, it was still enjoyable to read. Definitely a quick read worth your time.

A fast paced story where the characters are not only connectable but pull you into their world from the start. This is an engaging story that is hard to put down and one you don’t want to miss. There is great growth with the plot which makes the story easy to read and entertaining. I really enjoyed reading this suspenseful story which I highly recommend.

This was a great 5 star read. The beginning oh my, it starts with some heart wrenching moments. The characters were great, they were both strong and great for each other. Even though they fought the attraction they did finally give in. Ginger is hired to protect Jack after his heartbreaking loss. Now that he is president his safety is her number one priority. As they spend time together feelings start to develop. Will these two give in to their attraction? Can Ginger protect Jack? Overall I really enjoyed this book. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing and I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today.

What an introduction to this new author! His Protector was a wonderful read and in all honestly such a refreshing read. I loved the storyline for this book and it really was so well written. The relationship between the two main characters was so genuine and believable. I think given the plot a slow burn worked perfectly, I think anything else wouldn’t have felt right and I’m so glad the author chose to write their relationship that way, The suspense that ran through the story was great and my attention was definitely kept the whole way through.
This really was a great read and I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

The way Christie and Reed meet is anything but ideal but at the same time trauma can help bring two people together.
What starts out as one of the worst nights of her life ends up turning into a completely different story for the two of them.
I think Reed is my favorite so far, could be the Texas thing but I think it is more than that. Another short but interesting story about this SEAL team and can’t wait to see who falls next.

You should celebrate women’s history month by reading a book with a strong female lead character. This is the book for you, me, and women everywhere. Our heroine has a secret, unrequited love with a married man. Spoiler alert: he has a Very Important Job. When he becomes a widower, she is assigned to protect him. In close proximity, sparks begin to fly.

I was a bit hesitant to read this book initially, given it was so far through the series but I am so glad I gave it a chance. The book was easy to understand and had an intriguing plot line. I enjoyed trying to work out how it was going to turn out. There was an interesting mix of characters to compliment the storyline and everything as a whole seemed to work well.
I also really enjoyed that the book was set in Rome. It felt different to the usual American/English settings. This is still a pretty new author to me but if this is an example of what her books will be like, I can’t wait to read more.
I read most of this in one sitting. This was page turner. This book keep me on my toes with suspensions of everyone! I enjoyed the ride. Plus, really liked the ending.The speaker for this book did wonderful! She changed voices for each character.

This was a really gripping read. The author is new to me but I will definately be keeping my eyes open for more books. I loved the story and the role reversal. It was nice to read a romance Suspense with the female character being the protector instead of the male. The romance and chemistry is a slow burn as both Ginger and Jack have issues to deal with but there is no denying that it is there.
Jack is running to become president when he and his friends and family are attacked. In that one moment he lost his friends and his pregnant wife and he feels like his life is over. Why would someone do this to him? When he has time to recover he decides to keep on with his race to become president but the danger hasn’t passed and he relys on his security team to keep him safe. One person in that team though catches his eye in a way not entirely professional.
Agent Ginger Carver has been assigned to cover Jack’s protection detail. She has seen his darkest moments of losing everyone he cared for and his slow rise to pick himself up. She realises that her feelings are growing in ways that aren’t professional but with the increased risk Jack if he makes president and the unknown person(s) trying to take his life Ginger knows she can’t allow herself to be distracted from the main goal. Protecting Jack at all costs.
Will they give into the chemistry between them? Will it mean Ginger takes her eye off the ball?
Can she protect him while allowing her emotions take over?

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up by her. Her books are engaging, hard to put down and this one is no different. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world from the start. They are connectable and bring romance and action to another level. They have great growth as well as bring a lot to the story. This is a well written story that is fast paced and one you don’t want to miss. A story about what happens when you get a last minute movie ticket and the unexpected things that happen. You need to read this book to find out what happens next for sure. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This book is the second in a series. It reads just fine as a stand alone. I enjoyed the story, but I definitely wished there was more! Christie Anderson attends a movie premiere and meets Reed Tindal. Reed’s protective nature takes over when someone shoots during the movie. I felt like the characters were relatable, and I could see myself in Christie. The language in it was mild which I personally liked. It was a sweet, relatable short story that was fun and fast to read.

His protector is the first book that I have read by this author, and it will not be the last book. His Protector is a wonderfully written Romantic Suspense read. I enjoyed the story line and the characters of the book. What happens when an agent falls for the person she is protecting?? I loved the building of the Chemistry between Agent Ginger Craver and Jack. I liked the realness of this story not far off things you can’t relate to, this story is believable and enjoyable. I look forward to reading more books by this author, If Romantic Suspense books are your cup of tea i highly recommend this read. Thank you to this Author for writing this great read.
