My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It feels like it has been such a long time since I read one of these books and this one has to be the best so far. It was so easy to reconnect with the characters and become engaged with the story. This book is just as exciting and fast paced of the rest of the series. It is action packed right from the word go.
One of my favourite things about this series is the connection between Jake and Cody. It is lovely to see how much they both rely on each other, not just one way or the other. With each book, their relationship grows stronger. This author has created a strong and lasting series and I hope there will be many more books to come.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have truly sat and tried to figure out what to say about this story. I have read both stories. this book touched me so much. It’s really an emotional story. They both have tremendous emotional issues to deal with. Watching their emotional relationship develop was beautiful yet painful because her adoptive parents were supportive, yet not. There are so many issues in the story. It touches your heart and you want to root for them because they go through so much. You just watch them work through it and though Annie seems immature, she is a strong woman. She is just young and has a big trauma. Cal, however, is older and is dealing with a large loss. It’s a beautiful story that I would recommend. I’m in awe of both stories.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jake and Cody rule. There are just no two ways about it. They are classy and fun.

So much has happened since my last Jake and Cody thrill ride. Cody has puppies!! No surprise that they are super smart and helpers, just like Cody. Okay, I digress.

While enjoying some time off in the Florida Keys, Jake is contacted by his Secret Service contact about needing Jake for a job. It is during this job that Jake finds out about a new weapon being used against citizens of the US, a new drug that is deadly and being used to taint the drug supply. This new lethal combination is causing havoc throughout the drug trade, even in-fight within the cartels.

Jake and Cody have been tasked with taking down as many of the traffickers that they can find to stop or at least stem the tide of this new drug entering the US. As Jake and Cody do their thing, it paints a large bullseye on not only them but friends and family. Jake and Cody must work within the law to keep everyone safe, especially themselves.

The action in this book does not stop. Whether it is guns blazing or Jake and Cody saving senior citizens from bullies on the beach, Jake and Cody are in constant motion. The author does not fail to entertain or keep you guessing. There are a few surprises sprinkled throughout.

Here is to Jake and Cody saving the world (or at least some part of it) again and again!!! Fantastic read.

Mission Target

Once again, Mark Nolan knocks it out of the park with this Jake Wolfe book. Jake and Cody are at it again and they are trying to stop a deadly drug that is spreading like wildfire. However, this assignment is not going to be what it seems and we are taken on a well crafted roller coaster ride as Jake and Cody work to finish the assignment and stay alive. This is perhaps the best Jake Wolfe book yet and I hope that there is more to come. I definitely recommend reading this book and the rest of the series!

Killer Lawyer
By: Mark Nolan

Jake and Cody have quickly become some of my favorite characters in any series. Jake has some crazy ideas and I love watching how Cody helps Jake with these ideas. This story moves quickly and there were so many times when I thought for sure that there was no where else for the story to go when another twist comes out of the woodwork. Throughout the series Jake makes fantastic connections with other characters. Although these books each function as a standalone, Mark Nolan leaves threads that bring characters back up in some way.
Mark Nolan knows how to craft a thriller, it is filled with twists and turns that keep you riveted until the very end. I recommend reading this one and the rest of the series!

Jake has such an interesting background and he’s not afraid to go rogue when the situation arises. He and his trusty sidekick, Cody, are immersed in another drama that is threatening American lives. Together, they set out to get the people behind all this action and bring them to justice.

Deadly Weapon

Every once in a while an author creates a character that I find myself consistently wanting to read more of. Mark Nolan created this in the character is Jake Wolfe. I am so excited everytime I see that there is a new Jake Wolfe book for me to read. I know that it will be a book that sucks me in and sends me on a fast paced suspenseful ride. This story definitely ups the suspense factor as it seems so much more realistic than some of his past books. Not that any of the others were far fetched but I think it is really because the story hits so close to home for me. This is book 5 in the series, but each and every book so far would be able to be read as a standalone. But I definitely recommend you read each of the series as you will be entered into the world of Jake Wolfe.

Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie
By: Mark Nolan

This is a very well written story. The characters are completely well developed and interesting. I loved how Cody (the dog) was such a great part of the story. Jake is always in the wrong place and the wrong time and that really drives the story. That and his secret past. I found it interesting that he was engaged to someone he felt he had to record. This part of the story really felt somewhat relatable to me but it definitely also felt like it was the stuff that reality shows are made of. When he finally comes to his senses and moves out things get even more interesting. I truly loved how fast paced the story was and how there just seemed like so much depth to Jake and the whole plot. I definitely recommend this one as it was well written and fast paced.

For the wealthy lawyers of the San Francisco area, beware! The Artist is coming after attorneys and Jake is going to do everything he can to save as many of them as possible. Can he do it without coming into harms way himself though?

What a great start to this series! I love that there is a military war dog involved in this series. I’m a bit of a pushover for these creatures! There is a lot of action, twists and turns, and some deceit thrown in to make this a very enjoyable read!

Lottery of Secrets by Nadija Mujagic

Lottery of Secrets is a Psychological Suspense Thriller that will have you turning the pages till the end. This is a fast-paced story that is packed with drama, secrets, lies, betrayal and so much more. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This is a story about Lynn, she should be living the dream life especially after winning the lottery instead she’s living in a terrible nightmare where you don’t know who you can and can’t trust. There’s danger lurking around every corner and with a stalker who is sickly obsessed with her she’s fighting for her life. As I don’t want to give to much away. I highly recommend reading this pyschological thriller to find out what happens next. I’m really looking forward to seeing what the second book brings us.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a an adventurous book that will keep you constantly on the edge of your seat, once you get through the first few chapters. It was a slow start and I had a hard time connecting with Fenimore, aka, Simon Shaw. However, after the first few chapters, I really felt a connection with him. There is a lot going on within the book between Simon’s “coming of age”, budding romances, a mystery man, and murders, there is something to appeal for everyone in this book.

As the book progressed I found myself loving characters I hated and hating characters I loved. The character development was very strong. You really got to know many of the members in the gang and their background. For example, Ford had has a unique and volatile personality. Early on in the book, you learn his history and his characteristics make sense. I ultimately really enjoyed all the twists and turns and absolute surprises.

I have thoroughly enjoyed each book I’ve read by this author, and this one followed suit! I love psychological thrillers, so this was right up my alley. I’m really excited to see that it’s the beginning of a series as well because I definitely need more. It’s everyone’s dream to win the lottery, right? We dive into what nightmares could be waiting on the other side of this wonderful dream come true. This book was absolutely riveting, and I read through it in one sitting. I couldn’t read fast enough because I needed to know what happened! It was a rollercoaster of twists and turns, never knowing where we were going to end up. I highly recommend picking this thriller up and going on a crazy ride. I am (not so patiently) waiting for the next book in this series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Man in Black is a historical, LGBT romance. Fenimore James is a young man who is bored in his life. He is a dreamer and believes he should be more, however, that more is running away from home to become an outlaw named Simon Shaw. Simon believed he was going to be able to rob his way through life living his best life. He joins a gang, but he comes to find out that joining this gang is no joke. This is a life that is a bloody one and there is a mystery person out there after the gang’s blood. Many of its members are being murdered. Simon has dreams at night where a “man in black” visits him. He doesn’t understand why this man is in his dreams but he thinks it is important. However, he is dealing with other “issues” as he starts to question his sexuality – at the beginning, he has always questioned this but was engaged to a woman. However, his feelings for men are too strong and he ends up trying on this experience with another gang member. He and his new “friend” start to try to help the gang figure out who could be hurting them, and the leader gets scared and starts to think it could be someone they are all close to. This is a thriller and has a good plot, but will Simon find the life he has always dreamed for himself, is the killer someone close to them, and will he figure out where he belongs amongst all of this?
This was an interesting story. It has been a while since I read a historical setting piece, but the fact that it was a thriller made is worth the read. It was a little slow to start, but if you can get through the beginning it will be a good read. There are many exciting parts, the aspect of taking on a puzzle, outlaws, and it was nice seeing a man trying to figure out who he was. If you are looking for a different take on an LGBT story and love thrillers, this is the story for you.

This was an enjoyable wild west thriller which I enjoyed. I’ve not read a book based in the Wild West for a long time, so I was pleasantly surprised when reading this by just how much I was enjoying it.
The plot was intriguing and unique, and the book was written well – the descriptive language used painted vivid pictures of both the scenes and characters.
Fenimore/Simon was an interesting character. Leaving a small ton life for the ‘glory’ of life as an outlaw was an interesting plot point. Then the mystery thriller elements, the character truly develops as he navigates sexuality and life within the gang. I love seeing character development so this was a great thing to see.
I liked that this wasn’t the typical western story, there was a lot more to it. The length of the book didn’t put me off, I adore long books, but feel like this may put some readers off. Give it a chance, you may surprise yourself.

Lottery of Secrets is a psychological thriller full of action, suspense, angst, danger, mystery, intrigue, drama, and secrets. The story centers around the character of Lynn who has just won the lottery and is dreaming of how she will start a new life with her winnings. She is currently living in a rundown house with her abusive husband and wants to leave but has been unsure how. When Lynn discovers she has won the lottery she grapples with the decision of whether she should tell her husband or if she should just start a new life somewhere else. Winning the lottery does not change her life the way in which Lynn had hoped and dreamed that it would. Instead, she finds her life spiraling out of control as she receives anonymous notes, and her past comes back to haunt her. This book takes some twists and turns that kept me reading to see what happened next. Lynn is a character that is easily likable and relatable. Suffering from an illness and living with an abusive husband left me hoping she would be able to get the happily ever after she deserved. The book ends with a cliffhanger, and I anxiously await the next book in this series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this psychological thriller which held me captivated throughout. Lynn Miller wins a life altering amount on the lottery, and suddenly all her dreams and goals are within reach. However, a stalker suddenly emerges from nowhere and is relentless, but her husband, James seems to be sceptical of the potential risk. Lynn becomes paranoid and uncertain as things become more sinister and family secrets are revealed. Suddenly her wealth is a nightmare not a dream and she’s unsure of who she can trust. To ensure she is safe, Lynn finds herself having to navigate between her wealth, deceit and family loyalty, as lines are blurred between friends and enemies. This is a fast-paced gripping read and the suspense builds chapter on chapter. The characters and setting come alive through the descriptive narrative, which made me feel immersed in the story. I literally could not put this book down, a must read!

Lottery of Secrets by Nadija Mujagic. I loved this book and can’t wait to read another by this author. Its a psychological thriller that will keep you turning pages late in the night. Its the story of Lynn who is terminally ill and in a very abusive marriage. She feels like her life is a sad and just wants it to end peacefully. When she wins the lottery she is determined not to let her husband know and she is for sure not going to share with him. She is going to leave him and find a way for her to live the rest of her life in peace. When a stalker starts to harass her she feels like she can’t trust anyone around her. This is not the peaceful ending she had in mind and she even hires a private investigator to find the stalker. Fast paced, mystery, lies and paranoia abound in this book. The only problem I had with it is I’m not a fan of open endings but all in all it was a great book!

Not only does she have a rough home life, but she is also dying from cancer when she wins the lottery. I do not want to give away any spoilers, so I will just say that this book did not disappoint when it came to the shock and surprise of the plot.

This is the story of a young man that leaves his family with the hope of becoming a famous outlaw. On his journey, he joins an outlaw gang. This book contains mature content, such as violence and a M/M romance. This is not the type of book I usually read, but I did like the basic storyline and the mystery of the man in black.

Mission Target (Jake Wolfe, # 7)Mission Target by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mission Target is book seven in the Jake Wolfe Thriller series. I do recommend reading the previous books in the series just to get better character development but it can also be a standalone. Jake and Cody are back at it again, with more adventures, action, danger, and violence. Mission Target deals with drugs, and the aftermath of them. Jake and Cody must try to find the source of the drug war to end it before more people are affected, or killed. That is, until Jake becomes a target himself. If there is ever a person that can attract all the danger, it is Jake. This one is full of twists and turns and when you think you got it figured out, more information is released. I liked this one more than the previous ones but still way too unbelievable for me to get fully immersed into the story. I absolutely LOVE Cody and his intelligence and loyalty, so if there are any more adventures planned for Jake and Cody, I will definitely read them. Overall I would say this series is a solid 4 star, for me, but don’t allow that to deter you as it is a fun storyline with a lot in each book.

Key West DeadKey West Dead by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Key West Dead is book six in the Jake Wolfe Thriller series and can be read as a standalone. This one is probably my least favorite of the series so far, and feels rushed and not executed as well as the previous books were. It could be that I am used to Jake and Cody now, and predicting what is to come, so it could be a biased focal point for me. This time around, the duo are on a boat in the Keys with long-time girlfriend Sarah when someone decides they want to take out all the military in attendance. Cody is an ex-war dog that can do it all, and this time is no exception, and goes right to work helping Jake discover who is involved and taking down the bad guys. While we still have all of the action, danger, and over the top scenarios, the last two books have also had quite a bit of romance in it as well. This is still a good book to read, just not as interesting to me as the previous ones have been, but hopefully the next one will step back up to the plate. Anyone that is new to the Jake Wolfe Series may love this, as there is a lot to unpack in it, just like the others.
