The Golden Garza (Red Cage, #4)The Golden Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. I love how she makes her books from both characters’ points of view. This is the fourth book of the amazing Red Cage series. I was so excited to read this one I stopped everything and started this one immediately. I could not put this book down until the very end. I can’t wait to see what this amazing author will write about next.

Soleil is so excited to actually see her best friend in person. When she gets there she is told to sleep in her older brother’s room because he is gone. She is surprised when she wakes up to Tripp lying next to her. Soleil knows that Tripp can’t stand her but her world falls apart. She is shocked when Tripp is the one that says he will help her. They get to know each other and sparks fly. Will Soleil get her bad boy after all or is this just a job?

Dominic Price believed he had a future with Juliana Rutherford until one dark night, she goes missing, and her affluential father has him arrested for her disappearance. After spending nearly two years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, he is acquitted and has one goal in mind – Revenge.

Whitney Greene is content with her life until a voice invades her thoughts. It is a woman, and she needs help that only Whitney can provide. Her world now off its axis, Whitney is about to be tested when sent to help the one man with the power to destroy them both.

Dominic is powerful, wealthy, and so close to exacting the vengeance he sought when a ghost from his past emerges, only she’s claiming that she isn’t the one who’d set him up for a fall before. Whitney tries convincing Dominic that she isn’t Juliana, but he isn’t fooled. The timing is too convenient and the taste of betrayal still too bitter.

Deciding to use her as an additional pawn in his deadly game, what ensues is a series of events causing each of them to question themselves, question each other, and reveals a force more sinister than either could’ve ever imagined. When the dust settles, will absolution finally be found?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, Winter Austin has me wanting to get the 1st book in this series. Give me chills towards the middle of the book. Poor Lila can’t get the shaking fear that the killer is somewhere watching her every move. I don’t like the fact that Elizabeth used Lila to lure the killer to her knowing that she wants to be free of fear. Funny thing that I live close to Chicago LOL.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII, but I didn’t even notice so could be a stand alone. A Navy Seal and a belly dancer, how could you go wrong. Cutter and Zarifah are so sweet together. She is trying to get past her abusive fiancé and he is trying to find a nice girl (not a stripper). Can he keep her safe?

The Golden Garza (Red Cage Book 4)The Golden Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book I’ve read In this series. These Garza boys!!! Wow.
I don’t even know where to begin. Soleil comes to
Visit her best friend and they end up staying at her brothers house. Soleil and Tripp have been seriously been into eachother for years but neither had any idea. The first night Tripp returns home and finds a woman in his bed, he thinks it’s Maggie causing Soleil to
Almost get what she wants more then just about anything.
The guys at Red Cage take on big cases and they charge a lot of
Money. I really
Like how all the guys all have totally different personalities. Soleil needs help and she cannot afford to pay them but, luckily
For her, that doesn’t seem to be a problem. When the Garzas care about you, you will be protected. There’s a lot going in on this
Book, definitely suspense, and some steam. I loved how this book was written and just flowed so
Easily. Loved the characters, and loved the friendships. Aside from this book, over read True Garza but might have to go back and read the others. I’m still trying to figure out Guy’s story!!

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book but after reading the sleeve I knew I had to read it. Chatroom with a view was far darker than I was expecting; it may be triggering for some. Troy, one of the main characters, character took be through a range of emotions. I started out feeling sympathetic to his history but by the end of the book I found I really did not care for him ( well written character I believe this was the author’s intent). the book was well written, though there were a few places I felt like there was something missing. Even still I would recommend this book. I know I will be reading more of Maynard.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A complex and winding mystery that follows a third person POV. I read this as a stand alone but will be going back to read the first two in the series. It was an enjoyable read as we are taken back by the dead to a murder scene where three girls, each with different fate, had a story to tell.

A quick-witted read with plenty of suspense to keep you on your toes. Overall, a good read.

The Golden Garza (Red Cage, #4)The Golden Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My sunshine. The bringer of light in my dark, dark world.
Holy broody, dark, possessive, strong man, Batman. The Golden Garza gets all five stars from me. I truly enjoyed reading Tripp and Sunny’s story, his dark monster, and her warm sunshine. This can be read as a stand-alone as each story is an individual one but there are elements in each book that connect them and would make more sense if they were read in order. Each of these books thankfully has a happy, satisfying ending, and no cliffhangers! You will need to schedule a big chunk of time once you have started this book. I started The Golden Garza and lost and entire day because I just could not stop reading or pull myself away from it. Honestly, this is a wonderful, spicy book/series with a great storyline that will pull you in and not let go. Do yourself a favor and give this book and this series a chance!

Sheriff Benoit and Deputy Dayne are back at it investigating another crime in the book, Straight for The Kill (Benoit and Dayne Mystery #3) by Winter Austin. This is another wonderful mystery, crime, and suspense story that will have readers at the edge of their seats. I could not put this book down, and to be honest I ended up reading all three of the Benoit and Dayne Mystery books over this past week. This book has kept me guessing and wondering, who did it? Will they find the killer before there is another victim?

The True Garza (Red Cage Book 3)The True Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Didn’t you know?” “Love is madness.”
Once you start to read True Garza and get into Trueman and Londons story you will be immersed and unable to come up for air until you have devoured every last page. I can attest to feeling that way throughout the 24 hours it took me to read this, I just couldn’t stop! I appreciated the real life struggles that True suffered with because as someone who has also been given a diagnosis of ADHD it can be as debilitating and difficult to control as he describes in this book. It takes so much work all the time, being cognizant of what is expected of you, and to ‘try’ to be normal and not speak as Guy in this book states like “tripping over a bunch of wires.” I liked that this book was spicy but that wasn’t the sole focus, there was plenty to follow and love in the interesting storyline as well. This was a fabulous 5 star read and I loved it and the entire Red Cage series so far!

I was pleasantly surprised by this book! I read some of the reviews before I read it- and I was worried about how dark the story would be- but it was really well written. I didn’t feel like it was dark for the sake of being dark (if that makes any sense?). It was for sure a more creepy, twisty, read than I normally consume but I thoroughly enjoyed it! The characters were very well developed and at times relatable. I had empathy for several of them. The authors writing style was vivid and captivating! Like other reviewers I kind of stumbled my way through the beginning but I’m really glad I gave this book a read. It kept me guessing and excited to continue reading! This was a fantastic start to my first book by this author and I’m eager to read even more! (:

Another great read with Elizabeth and Lila on the case. Book three in the series and still going strong. I enjoy these novels so much, they are written with such a perfect balance where there is never too much information or details but also never not enough. I always enjoy cozying up and getting lost in a mystery and this one was a doozy. Nothing beats a lady-duo on the hunt for answers and someone to nail to the wall with it. I lost myself to this book until I was done and felt like i could breathe again! Another great, exciting read!

While this is book 3 in the series it could definitely be read as a stand alone. However I will state that this whole series is incredible. The characters are simply amazing and the plot of this third installation had me hooked from the beginning. The cover is absolutely beautiful, and the authors plot development and character development are amazing. But the mystery behind a cold case involving our lead characters best friend being murdered will have you on the edge of your seat. When you pick up this book you better make sure you have enough time to read it, because trust me you won’t want to put it down.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kasper had me fuming mad in the beginning of this book so it was going to take some convincing on his part to win me over.
Krysta felt like someone I would want to be bff’s with as she was funny, foul mouthed and takes no crap and can defend herself.
These two won me over pretty quickly as they just melded together. Yes they had a past but who doesnt. And Kasper did finally win me over.

I really enjoyed this and now I want to read the first 2 for those stories. Can be read as a standalone. This author brought this story to life with these characters and they felt relatable and real.

What a compelling and hook to the beginning of the story! I’m just an avid reader and for me personally, it takes a bit for me to get hooked into the story itself but this one had me at page one. As the story details develop, the characters unveil their true intents, and the story line emerges, the story grapples its readers.
Troy, a 24 year old born and raised in a small town in Connecticut with a dysfunctional family setting. When a family tragedy occurs and he receives some unexpected news, Troy takes his anger and becomes vengeful. When a surprising truth is discovered about his family background, something must be done to change his future outcome.
With a psychology background, it is quite interesting in seeing the destructive pattern of negative, hateful atmosphere that engulfs those surrounded by its actions and it becomes a cycle. In order to break a cycle, drastic action and change is needed. Aside from those notions brought to light, this novel is amazing from start to finish!

This is a very dark book and unless you are understanding of that and are willing to really read it thoroughly I wouldn’t recommend it. I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to like it bc it is so dark. It makes me feel sad for people who have gone thru things like this. I feel so much pain as well as a connection with Troy throughout the whole book. There are moments that I can actually visualize and its quite disturbing when I see what Troy is going through. I will tell that his father got what he deserved in my opinion.

This is a fast paced, rather dark and intense thriller, which had me hooked from page one. A real page turner of a novel, the storyline focuses on the idea that a ‘killer gene’ can be passed down through the generations of a family. The main character, Troy Cullen comes from a very dysfunctional family which has kept him from, “the normal integration with society”. However, it’s the knowledge that his ex girlfriend Veronica is pregnant that causes Troy’s life, and mental state to spiral out of control. Whilst Troy plots to “do unto others as they have done unto him”, Veronica looks into his family’s past. Veronica is shocked when she finds the ‘killer gene’, in Troy’s family, and must decide what action to take, knowing that her unborn child could also carry this gene. Meanwhile, Troy’s plans result in an epic showdown! This is an emotional rollercoaster of a read, with an intriguing storyline which kept me gripped throughout. It can be difficult to read in places due to the sensitive issues raised, but I felt engaged with the main characters and immersed in the story.

Third in its series, Saving the Bellydancer is a likeable read that gives you the mystery, thrill, drama, and romance. Cutter and Zarifah are thrilled with the chemistry they have between them and when her ex storms in all bets are off. I enjoyed this read, enjoyed watching the story bloom and was pleased with the ending. Perfect read if you are trying to escape but not escape for days into a book!

This is a first book in a series about Hunter – a doctor and head of a hospital. It is a love story… one between Hunter and Selma. Both are afraid to get close because of past relationships gone wrong. But when Selma finds herself in a third world country alone, pregnant and sick – she hopes that Hunter will be there to help her. I enjoyed the story line – the one of helpers helping helpers and going against the odds for love/friendship. At times, I got distracted by the story line with the background stories. But all in all, a good romance read!

This is a well written story where the author used details to make the story come to life. The characters pulled me into the story from the start. They took me on an adventure of new worlds and survival of a human race is at risk. I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot as well as the characters. It added to the enjoyment and entertainment of the story. This is a fast paced story that I found hard to put down. I enjoyed the adventure and I highly recommend this book.

This book is book three of the series. It can be read as a standalone but honestly book three is so good just start with one and work your way through. I need to go back and read the other two. This book pulled me in right from the start. I was so interested in the dynamics of the characters right from the jump.

Krysta has only truly loved one man her whole life. Too bad that went south really quick. To make matters worse, he’s her brothers best friend so not only does she have to keep it a secret, she still has to see him from time to time. Kasper knows he messed up all those years ago. That doesn’t change how he feels about Krysta and always has. Keeping the secret hasn’t been easy but as soon as some bad stuff goes down, his only option is to fess up. Can he get Krysta’s forgiveness or is all hope lost?

This book was intense. Quite the rollercoaster of emotions! I couldn’t put it down. I read it in one sitting. Definitely some suspense and mystery to keep you on your toes. I highly recommend giving this book a chance!
