Tropic HeatTropic Heat by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tropic Heat (Flamingo Island Series) by C.A. King. I love this author so I was excited to read this romance and I was not disappointed. Its the jilted groom left at the altar scenario that I haven’t read because its usually always the bride left at the altar, anyway it was a fun short read and I feel in love with Daniel. After Daniel is left at the altar his best friend Joey talks Daniel into going on his honeymoon especially since the tickets are nonrefundable and taking Joey with him. What Daniel doesn’t expect is to have a one night stand with a woman and catch feelings for her. Sara just wanted to go on a vacation without any strings until she falls into bed with a key person on the case she is working on. And on top of that she really has chemistry with this guy and wouldn’t mind seeing him again. What I thought was a short little novella left me with big feelings. I loved this book! Read it to find out all the juicy things that happen!

Encounters with Old CoyoteEncounters with Old Coyote by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Encounters With Old Coyote by Laura Koerber. This is a wonderful collection of 13 short stories or episodes with the same main character. She’s a 70 year old professor named Andrea or actually Andrea’s ghost. Andrea decides she wants to die in the Nevada desert under the starts. That is the story that begins it all. She also sees a spirit called Coyote and he wants to hear stories of Andrea’s life. The other stories are those…one being a camping trip to Arkansas (which was one of my favs, because I live in Arkansas), stealing a dog and stories of getting drunk on beauty. Andrea keeps asking Coyote about the afterlife and he keeps avoiding it at all costs. Such a different book that I was not expecting. In the final story we meet other spirits and they set the closing of the book. I was very surprised that I enjoyed this book as much as I did! Do yourself a favor and read this interesting and thought provoking book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mission Target (Jake Wolfe Thrillers Book 7) by Mark Nolan. This is another exciting addition to the Jack Wolfe Thriller series and can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading them in order to get a better feel for the characters.

Jack sometimes does things that might be considered illegal but he only does it to save someone or fix something. Jack has found out there is a new drug being used as a weapon against all US Citizens and if Jack doesn’t find out who it is and stop him it will wipe out the US. When women that look like Jack’s girlfriend start showing up dead it becomes personal and he will go covert to save her. The messes Jack and Cody get in are so good and so bad at the same time. I love the writing because I always feel like I’m there in the story. These are the kind of books that you will think about long after you have finished. Grab a hold of your seat and read this amazing series. You won’t be disappointed! I hope there is another one!

Finding the End Zone (Game Time Series)Finding the End Zone by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding the End Zone (Game Time Series) by Tam DeRudder Jackson. I loved this contemporary, football romance. Its the story of Jamaica who is on scholarship and will do anything not to lose that scholarship. When she is paired with Callahan, the star football, to do a project she is determined she is not going to get swept up in his charm and good looks. Callahan doesn’t know what it is about Jamaica that is keeping him up at night because she is not his type at all. She knows nothing about the sport his loves and she is very uptight but she is all he can think about. When one of Callahan’s “stalker fans” tries to come between him and Jamaica he is mad. But when they threaten his NFL dreams and Jamaica’s scholarship he is livid. He will let nothing come in between his and Jamaica’s future. Will they be able to make a relationship work because the more time Jamaica spends with Callahan she sees a lot more than football and good looks. Such a good football, romance!
