The “Game of Chance” warriors, survivors of enemy captivity, are slowly finding their normal in the civilian life, vanquishing one demon at a time, building relationships and finding love along the way. 

Kendrick Evans, aka Bob to his mates, still strives to face danger, gets his adrenaline rush by going on rescue missions without his team watching his six. One such mission is to rescue archeologist, Marlowe Kennedy imprisoned in Thailand on false charges of drug trafficking. 

A simple archeological dig turns into a nightmare for Marlow Kennedy, when she’s betrayed by an associate and imprisoned between the walls of a Thailand prison. With her brother pulling strings to get her released, her only hope now is “The Hero”, aka Bob, who is tasked with rescuing her. 

The rescue mission to break Marlowe out of prison may be a success, but the road home is filled with frightening bumps and painful suffering. Hoping to make the escape easy, Marlowe and Kendric end up as husband and wife and as things come to a head, his teammates come through with a royal intervention, making their entry into homeland less of an ordeal. 

Two courageous souls, bound by circumstances, and fated to be together, have one final demon to vanquish to cement their future. 

Susan Stoker brings another heartwarming and courageous story of two wonderful people meant to be together.

A night of fun with her best friends becomes the last night for the unsuspecting sixteen year old Jenna. A random death that leaves her parents with a grief, unsaid and unexplained. But for Lieutenant Eve Dallas, death is personal, always. The why of the murder is what fascinates Eve more than the how. The why is what feeds her intelligent and experienced mind the start to an investigation, to bring justice to the victims.

With her tenacious and insightful mind, murder board, Peabody, Roarke and her team of passionate law enforcement always at her back, Eve Dallas will go to any lengths to bring down the psychopath consumed with hatred and fixated on killing young people. 

But, what I love the most about J. D. Robb and her Death series is the growth of Eve’s and Roarke’s relationship. From the time they met, to getting married, to falling into a wife and husband status, both have matured and nurtured each other, family lost, as well as an extended family. These glimpses that J. D. Robb gives importance to in her narrations and pages, makes my heart full.

Writing the Death series as J. D. Robb, Nora Roberts is always topnotch with narration, plot and incorporating intense research. Be it suspense, paranormal, romance or law enforcement, she is unsurpassable!

A new series, new characters, with a glimpse fo the olden and golden characters making a welcome appearance. 

Katie Reus’s new series, Redemption Harbor Security” spears ahead with Jessie Lenox “Fighting For Haley”, to keep her in his life. A self made millionaire rising from the ashes of foster care, Jessie always had a soft spot for Haley that grew into love. But circumstances and life has a way of coming in between two lovers, driving them apart. Years later, fate gives Haley and Jessie another chance at love as all the foster siblings come together to save one of their very own. 

I like these new characters in her new series. Loyal, faithful and devoted to each other, I’d love to see the rest of the siblings finding their true love.

The past is definitely not dead and gone!!

Graphic designed Sonya MacTavish is forging a new path in her career after a broken engagement with a supportive mother and her best friend. But being the sole beneficiary of her unknown uncle’s estate sure throws her into a world of the unknown tarnished with a legacy of death and mystery.

Now it’s left to her and her new found love interest, the young lawyer Trey, Cleo and Owen, to get to the bottom of the murders that have plagued her ancestors. Sonya has to keep an open mind and follow the clues her friendly ghosts seem lay out, to a realm that may give her answers and put an end to the curse that has plagued her family for generations.

Remember, this is book one of “The Lost Bride” trilogy and we have to wait for Sonya and Owen to bring back each other to the present. Trey and Cleo will have the wait of a lifetime!

Any story by Nora Roberts is always topnotch with narration, plot and incorporating intense research. With her unlimited imagination, Nora weaves another trilogy of mystique and romance.

Kenzie Macallan, a new writer and a new read on my list. Heading into her Deep 8 series way down the list to her fourth book “Risk”, with Campbell Creighton laying down his life for his Quinn Donovan

With AI being the hot topic of the current world, Kenzie weaves an intriguing story around this very concept, and if we are talking about AI, then politics, conspiracies, power, money and betrayal are not far behind. With technology outspacing humans, it’s a power struggle for survival of the fastest and the richest!

Genius brother and sister duo, Liam and Quin are working on an AI nuclear weapon in a top secret location that is compromised. With her brother MIA, Quinn reaches out to her trusted friend and security specialist, Campbell for help before being kidnapped. The burden of rescue now falls on Cam and his team of special operatives, to thwart whatever the political and power plan was set in operation. And Cam will need his head in the game, if he wants to protect his heart and life, Quinn to bring her back safely.

A fairly new Indie writer in my opinion, “Risk” starts off a bit slow but gets going as we get into the fifth chapter and onwards. But Kenzie Macallan has the imagination and the forte to narrate a story with a genuine plot, keeping the flow of the story interesting and making sure the chemistry among the characters is strong enough to carry the storyline. 

Kenzie Macallan is an author to look out for and she’s caught enough of my attention to add her to my list.
