February 2, 2024

Marina Adair’s second book in the Sierra Vista series, “Second First Kiss” is an entertaining read. But do not miss the undercurrents of emotion, the desire to have a companion, and the intense need to have a family and keep it all together. 

Kat Rhodes is a character you’ll fall in love with her sassy attitude that shelters so much longing, hurt and fear. A sister to take care of, and a father MIA, she has a lot at stake. Throw in a federal agent who loves her, only wants to become her support and make her his, forever is enough for Kat to keep her distance.

Nolan Carmichael, the federal agent and a rule follower, has his job cut out for him. Between the drunken campers and helping run his family’s lodge, Kat Rhodes throws a wrench into his life. He has a hard road ahead of him convincing Kat to be his forever and not skate outside of the law. 

“Second First Kiss” is an endearing story of two lovable characters, as they navigate a road filled with fun, family and anxiety to their forever.

Protecting Rebel – A Riot Of Love

September 24, 2023

It’s always a pleasure reading Katie Reus and if that story is an extension of Red Stone Security, even better for her ardent readers. “Protecting Rebel” features billionaire Weston and his childhood friend and musical start Rebel, as they come face to face after a long time. Yes, they kept in touch as they went their separate ways, but always had a connection with each other, and Weston’s aunt as the common denominator. But never confessed their feelings for each other.

Weston’s aunt funeral and a threat to Rebel, keep them in each other’s paths. Weston will move heaven and earth to keep Rebel safe, and Rebel is ready to come home to where her heart really is. 

And it always is a pleasure when you hear mentions of the founders of Red Stone Security and come across agents that make appearances in various stories.

Book 21 of the Red Stone Security series is another HEA and feel good story.

Identity – Create Yourself

May 22, 2023

“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” ~ George Bernard Shaw ~ 

Planting roots and making a life for herself, is Morgan Albright’s desire. With a house to her name, two satisfying jobs, friends and family as her support, Morgan is cruising life and enjoying finding herself in the process. A chance encounter with a stranger whom she likes, a normal occurrence of a relationship that she hopes may lead to something more, actually transcends to extremely tragic circumstances. Morgan not only loses her best friend, but also her life as she is stripped off of her life, her goals and her identity.

Identity theft is such a common and devastating occurrence in our current world, and reinventing yourself is no mean task. With the help of her mother and her grandmother, Morgan realizes what happened to her is not what she is, but what she chooses to become now, will be her identity. Creating a new life, takes immense courage and strength and Morgan has that in spades. 

“Identity” is a psychological thriller, following Morgan’s struggle to create a new life, staying one step ahead of a pathological killer, having faith to trust and embrace love. Roping in Miles Jameson to support Morgan with her struggle, sparking honesty and love, binding her with relationships, giving her the confidence to believe in planting roots again, is testament of the fact that there are good and kind people in this world.

Any story by Nora Roberts is always topnotch with narration, plot and incorporating intense research. Peppered with witty dialogues, springing a love story amidst danger, developing relationships and giving characters a chance to create themselves, “Identity” is an extraordinary story

Garrett’s Destiny – His Life Or Death?

November 17, 2022

There’s nothing more fascinating than getting to know another Dark Protector in the outer realm, and if it is one by Rebecca Zanetti, it’s worth the read.

 In total honesty, it has been a while I visited them. It was a great going down memory lane as I met Talen, Zane, Dage, Conn, just to mention a few, as Rebecca Zanetti takes us on an engrossing ride with Vampire-Demon Garrett Kayrs and his Destiny.

Garrett’s Destiny truly is a captivating story of relationships, friendships and the need to create a peaceful world for future generation as Garrett and Destiny try to fight for their own future. With an interesting background for Destiny Applegate, and her appearance in Garrett’s life, and the twisted turn of events that bind Garrett and Destiny, is a great read for any book lover
