From “The Raines Of Wind Canyon” to “The Brodies” to “Boss Inc.”, Kat Martin has created amazing characters fighting for justice and protecting the loved ones in their lives. As each series progressed into the next one, I enjoyed every page of these brothers in arms to their extended cousins and friends.

“Into The Fury” is the first book in the “BOSS INC” (Brodie Operations Security Services Inc.) series pitching Ethan Brodie against a stalker hell bent on creating havoc among the lingerie models touring cross-country. And one of the models happens to be Valentine Hart, best friend of Ethan’s sister-in-law then all bets are off. Now when extended family is concerned, the Brodie’s protectiveness comes out in spades.

Being a lingerie model is for Valentine Hart is just a means to a goal of becoming a veterinarian. Being stalked by a killer was never a part of her plan, and neither is falling for the hot and protective Ethan. I loved Valentine for her independence, endurance and just her nature to help others. She’s just perfect with her imperfections and a perfect partner for Brodie.

Another fast paced, thrilling ride from Kat Martin as she weaves pages of romance and danger. Incorporating and setting up the relationship between Megan O’Brien and Dirk Reynolds to take us into their story was brilliant and jelled well with this book.

“Midnight Secrets” took the readers on a ride of destruction, betrayal and loss that Isabel Devlaux endured and lived through. As secrets were revealed and her brother comes back from the dead, Lisa Marie Rice takes us into the secret life of Jack Devlaux through her latest release “Midnight Fire”

MidnightFire-LisaMarieRice-Sept2015

Surviving the Washington Massacre took Jack Devlaux from the living to the darkness of shadows to stay alive and trying to unravel the mystery of the Washington Massacre. His tryst with dark shadows reveal layers of betrayal and plans of terrorist acts that threaten the innocent…and one such person of interest is Summer Redding.

As a political journalist, Summer has been thrown into some dangerous situations, but nothing like her quest to search for answers to the Washington Massacre. Her job takes her to the doorstep of death, as her entire life is destroyed and burned to the ground. Saved by her presumed first crush, Summer and Jack are on the run trying to outwit death and stop a terrorist that would change the course of the world.

Lisa Marie Rice does what she is brilliant at – writing stories of danger and evil, family and friends, support and love; adrenaline pumping and spine chilling rides of some with amazing narration. Each book can be read as a stand alone, with the characters from the previous stories making an appearance, which is such a pleasure. And she makes sure that Jack and Lore burn the midnight fire to its fiery heights.

Time flies on wings

Toddler to a lady so fine

Yet memory only sings

Of a little girl mine

Bountiful in hearties

Taller and faster

Funnier and smarter

Each year brings a new you

Humble, kind and true

Adios to silly girl games

Hello to boys with aims

Drop-off and pick-up

No more your kind of cup

Learning permits and mania

Cars and driving hysteria
