At The Edge -Leaves You At The Edge!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
March 8, 2016

I’m a big fan of Griffin’s Tracers Series and Glass Sister Series are some of the most brilliant and fascinating books I’ve read in my time and have re-visited very often. Her narration is gripping, her characters are perfectly etched and the suspense and thrill keeps the readers glued to the very last page.

Laura Griffin’s new Alpha Crew series starts off with a bang and a crash, leaving the readers “At The Edge” of a precipice as Emma Wright and Ralph Owen try to survive the dangers of the Philippines jungle as well as the guns that seem to chase them.

AtTheEdge-AlphaCrew#1-Part1-LauraGriffin-Mar2016

When Emma survives her plane crash and is rescued by the secret and special elite Alpha Crew, little does she knows what life has in store for her. Rescued by Ralph and his teammates, Emma ends up in the path of danger as she tries to uncover the conspiracy behind the crash of her government plane. The more she questions, more closer she gets to danger and Ralph has no choice but protect Emma for the sake of his own survival and heart.

Part one of the first book brings Ralph and Emma closer to each other, as well as close to death. As the attraction between them heats up, so does the many unanswered questions and the possibility of mole in the FBI. As Emma and Ralph succumb to the passion of their feelings, Emma gets kidnapped leaving us readers wondering if Ralph would make it in time to save her.

And that would continue in Part 2, “Edge Of Surrender”

Jackson’s Trust – A Scintillating Touchdown!

March 7, 2016

Anytime I think of Violet Duke, I picture this ball of positive energy with wings, a wand in one hand sprinkling pixie dust of romance and brandishing with the other a pen to write the most alluring and charismatic of love stories!!!

Jackson'sTrust-FourthDownSeries-VioletDuke

Whether the heroine is a chocolate connoisseur or an expert in arms, a shrewd business lady or a super smart sports analyst, Violet Duke writes each character within their fields of strength with so much detail and aplomb, it’s hard not falling for them and their charm. I love her attention to detail and every dialogue brings a chuckle or a smile…. and sometimes a tear.

And Leila Hart is not far behind in giving Jackson Gray a ride for his pedestal of sports fanaticism and analytical skills. Hiding her skills as a sports analyst close to her heart, Leila Hart is trying hard to blend into the background and concentrate on fulfilling her dream of becoming a college and pro football reporter.

Her smile kicks Jackson Gray in the gut, and her intelligence only convinces him that she’s hiding things that he wants to know, play by play. As his Sunshine shuffles and evades, Jackson strategizes and plays to win her heart. And what you get in “Jackson’s Trust”, is a story full of witty dialogues, panty melting wooing, a few sacks and turnovers, huddles and touchdowns as Jackson and Leila race to the end zone.

And that my fellow readers is a brilliant touchdown!!!!

Into The Fury – Brodie Of Boss Inc.

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.

The Secret Sister – Mystery On Fairham Island

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Brenda Novak is one brilliant writer/author I have the pleasure of reading. She’s a maestro at weaving heartfelt romances with tasteful flavor and with equal vigor she churns some amazing mysteries that grips her readers from page one to the very last line.

“The Secret Sister”, book one of her Fairham Island series brings Maisey Lazarow back to her hometown of Fairham, SC. Reeling from a bitter divorce, Maisey comes back to build her shattered life back and rebuild her relationship with her troubled brother Keith. Coming back also brings back memories of pain and a mother that she wants to avoid. Coming back also puts her in front of Rafe Romero, her first love.

TheSecretSister-Aug2015-BrendaNovak

Rafe Romero comes back to the island to heal and raise his blind daughter. He’s built his life back, albeit a few scars and pain. Coming face to face with Maisey brings up a whole bucket load of emotions that he’s not ready to face. But with him renovating the cottage and living next door to Maisey only makes so much more difficult to stay away from her.

With Rafe and Maisey thrown together, rekindles feelings long buried and the possibility of love and forgiveness. As they try to deal with their feelings, Brenda surprises us with a twist in the story as old pictures bring back memories of a sister that Maisey vaguely seem to remember.

And now with mystery added into the equation, “The Secret Sister” takes the readers on a roller coaster ride of pain, love and forgiveness.

I can’t wait for Brenda Novak to give Keith his closure on pain and a chance at love.

Her Forever Hero – The Final Fairytale

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
February 21, 2016

 

One final hero remains standing in the town of Sterling waiting for the love of his life to show up. The final book in her Unexpected Heroes Series, Melody Anne gives the charming and kind Camden Whitman his happily ever after, with the woman of his dreams Grace, “Her Forever Hero”

HerForeverHero-UnexpectedHeroes5-MelodyAnne-Feb2016

His adoptive family had given Cam a support structure and a family he deserves. Raised with morals, ethics and humbleness, he would do anything to help the underdog and a few more beyond the call of duty. And when his client is his Grace, he pulls everything to protect her and keep her at his side.

Coming back to Sterling brings back memories that Grace would have liked to forget. But circumstances push Grace right into a major muddle with the IRS with a non-profit she is associated with and Cam ends up being her knight in shining armor.

Yet they have much unfinished business between them. But there are emotions that defy their hearts, pain that needs closure, and questions that need some answers before these two can have their very own happily ever after. With a stubborn and headstrong Grace heading the chase, Cam with tenacity and charm makes sure Grace can never leave his embrace of home forever.

Melody Anne does what she’s super good; write some super nice romances with ultra savvy heroines and alpha heroes. Good for the soul and warmth for the heart!
