My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Liam is usually the protector of his twin sister Ali. He travels overseas and is presumed dead by all but Ali. Three years later, he is “found” and comes back home to help his pregnant sister and new husband. Ali and new husband, country singer Joe, have just bought a new house with 2 guest cottages on the property. Liam stays in one and Joes sister Teresa. Liam’s protector instincts take over even though he typically is weary of the rich, after Teresa starts having serious accidents.
I did read the first book in the series and would recommend doing the same. While the story focuses mostly on Liam and Teresa, knowing the backstory is very helpful.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dr Con O’Brien travels back to Ireland with his new girlfriend Neve, a therapist, to help his brother solve a medical mystery with his fiancée Ciara. Ciara’s ex, Max has caused much trauma and his cult past and dark secrets are the key to helping Ciara.
This is the second book. I didn’t read the first, and while I did fine reading the second, I wish I had read it, there were a lot of references to things that happened in it that would have made more sense.
It was still a great read with a good story line.

Handle With Care (Chase Care Book 1)Handle With Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hunter and Selma both drs, are trying to navigate a relationship but with past damage. Her, an abusive marriage and him, loss of a loved one. Selma gets some surprising news and gets spooked and runs away to work with drs in a third world country.
A deadly outbreak spreads fast and kills many. The drs work quickly to save who they can, find out where the disease came from, who made it and why.
The author for sure did lots of research for the medical portions of the book. It seemed to be written in the format or a journal and for me personally I didn’t like it. The timeline sometimes skipped back and forth.

This was a really good series. It follows the Hawke family siblings and their friends. Set in New Orleans, you get clubs, murder, mob, hurricanes and lots of family drama! Some very streamy scenes as well. Well written and you get to really know the characters as they develop.
