Six-Gun Showdown – Showdown At Appaloosa Ranch

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
August 6, 2016

I love Delores Fossen and her simmering lawmen guarding under the big Texas sky. From one series to another she creates romance filled with danger and suspense, captivating and spell binding stories of love, support and families.

The Appaloosa Pass Ranch Series continues to captivate, as the law enforcement seems to find love amidst the numerous secrets and the elusive Midnight Strangler that seems to bring all these characters together.

SixGunShowdown-AppaloosaPassRanch-DeloresFossen-July2016

Deputy Sheriff Jax Crockett saw his ex-wife Paige buried a year ago, yet the message on his answering machine defies all odds. Faking her own death was the only way Paige knew to keep her son and the love of her life alive. Yet now, her position has been compromised and as she runs back to Appaloosa Ranch with a killer on her heels, only brings more danger to her family.

Utter shock and anger is what keeps Jax on guard even has his desire for Paige resurfaces. A desire and love that never died and now he will move heaven and earth to keep his wife and son safe from the killer, in the “Six Gun Showdown”.

This series has been very interesting and Delores Fossen sure pays attention in keeping all the characters in line and the plot steady and interesting. With secrets intertwining her characters, each story is narration with enough suspense, danger and romance to keep it interesting.

Trouble Walks In – A Sweet Romantic Suspense

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Sara Humphreys is another writer that I enjoyed reading and will continue to do so. My first book of hers was “Brave The Heat”, first in her McGuire BrothersTroubleWalksIn-McGuireBrothers#2-SaraHumphreys-Aug2016 series and I totally fell in love with the McGuire brothers and her skillful narration of a love story.

In her second book, “Trouble Walls In”, Maddy Morgan is a big trouble with a capital T and she ends up in Ronan McGuire’s territory giving him sleepless nights. Occasional meet ups, long runs and talks with his once old flame is not enough and neither being in the friends zone. But Maddy is hiding from living life and Ronan needs to play his cards carefully to handcuff her to his side permanently. As a successful real estate agent, Maddy has made a safe life for herself after a painful loss but being friends and spending time with Ronan sparks a desire for more.

And as both explore their feelings for each other, there’s a serial killer targeting real estate agents and Maddy gets into the cross hairs of an evil hell bent on killing her. And it’s up to the K-9 cop Ronan and his dog to bring Maddy home safe.

A romantic suspense that warms the heart and keeps the suspense going, Sara Humphreys keeps the narration tight and strong. The dialogue and chemistry between Ronan and Maddy is penned with care, detail and charisma.

Repressed – Captivatingly Dangerous

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
July 27, 2016

It has been a long time since I read Elisabeth Naughton and her latest release “Repressed” is the perfect book to dig into, captivating me as always with her suspense and romance, bringing back memories of why she’s one of my favorites!

For Samantha Parker, coming back to Hidden Falls after eighteen years brings back hazy memories and nightmares that seem to haunt her. Teaching high school chemistry and living in Hidden Falls is not on her agenda, yet she gets herself sucked into helping a troubled teenager stay out trouble. But the handsome child psychologist Ethan McClane doesn’t make it any easy for as she tries to figure out if he’s a friend or a foe.

Repressed-DeadlySecrets#1-ElisabethNaughton-July2016

Coming back to Hidden Falls brings Ethan face to face with a past that was incidental in him becoming a psychologist. It also brings him face to face with evil among friends and face to face with the charming and stunning chemistry teacher. Helping Sam understand the mystery behind her nightmares as well as help a teenager doesn’t seem to stem the chemistry between them.

But along with love and romance, comes danger and death, comes secrets and betrayal that puts Sam right into the path of a past that wants to silence her forever. A past that Ethan is intertwined and Sam’s repressed memories once surfaced can put an end to their love.

Gosh how I missed reading Elisabeth Naughton!!! Sam and Ethan were perfectly imperfect, the plot was tight and gritty, and the suspense was stretched to the penultimate pages keeping me rooted to my chair keeping me awake into the wee hours of the morning to finish the book.

A definite more than 5 stars in my opinion and a definite paperback addition to my library.

Always My Girl – Quinn Shaughnessy Finally Sees Anna Hannigan!

Filed under: Book Reviews — 1 Comment
July 5, 2016

For the uninitiated, Samantha Chase started off her new series “The Shaughnessy Brothers” with “Made For Us” (Aidan and Zoe), “Love Walks In” (Hugh and Aubrey), and now the third Shaughnessy brother Quinn sure takes his own sweet time trying to come to grips as to what’s been staring in his face all this time.

AlwaysMyGirl-Shaughnessy#3-SamanthaChase-July2016

Quinn Shaughnessy will make you want to shake some sense into him, he can be an idiot where Anna is concerned, you want to smack him when he makes decisions for Anna and you want to love him for his heart made of gold. He sure made Anna Hannigan wait a few years before he finally comes to his sense and declares to the world that she’s “Always My Girl”.

Anna Hannigan, the ever-sweet girl of his who can never say no, always at his side rain or shine and friends of the heart, has literally pined for Quinn for her entire life. Coming out of her shell and trying to live life outside of Quinn doesn’t seem to work in her favor. And when they do finally become a couple, their relationship is not short of fireworks, as they try to navigate the transition from friends to lovers.

Like every love story, Quinn and Anna have a lot of baggage to shed, insecurities to overcome, and fears of failure to conquer. Again, Samantha Chase does a wonderful job of setting Quinn apart from his brothers, with his own characterization and individuality, his weaknesses and strengths and his equation with his Dad. And again she does a brilliant job of interweaving the dynamics of the Shaughnessys, as they stand together in support in their varied degrees.

“Always My Girl” is another wonderful story of love and care, support and strength, friendship and family, that not only gives us a warm romance, but also gives us an insight into different personalities and the dynamics of a large and caring family.

Fan The Flames -Mr. Firefighter And Ms. Firearms

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
June 28, 2016

And when that happens, what we get is an explosion of lust and passion, betrayal and pain, danger and death.

FanTheFlames-Search&Rescue2-KatieRuggle

Ian Walsh has two passions – being a firefighter and loving Rory Sorenson. He may be a member of a Motorcycle Club, but it’s all within the boundaries of law. Being set up for a murder was never on his agenda, and fighting to keep Rory alive was definitely not what he had dreamed of. Yet circumstances make him a suspect in a murder, and Rory getting into the crosshairs of a personal attack turns his life upside down.

Rory is one kickass and diplomatic business lady keeping peace as deals in firearms. Unfortunately she finds herself right in the center of a gang war, and she and Ian have their job cut out as they try to stay alive.

Pretty intense, sexy and captivating, “Fan The Flames” is an adrenaline ride of danger, gangs and the reality of a world that exists under the radar and the brotherhood of these factions.

A fairly new author, and a new series, Katie Ruggle keeps the interest flowing and the passion flaming. And I’ve read her first book, Hold Your Breath and it was pretty captivating.

A definite good read for me. Do not miss the prequel novella of the series “On His Watch”, a thrilling start to her new series!
