Lone Wolf Lawman – Exciting New Series!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

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.

LoneWolfLawman-AppaloosaPassRanch1-DeloresFossen

The Appaloosa Pass Ranch Series kicks off with the “Lone Wolf Lawman”, as the Texas Ranger Weston Cade is drawn into the web of a serial killer. His search lands him in the home of his one night love Addie Crockett, and who’s DNA matches the serial killer.

Adopted and raised with love and a line of brothers who adore her, Addie Crockett lands in the crossfire of the killer who happens to be her father. Yet as the danger and bullets fly in galore, it looks like there is more than one killer and secrets that unravel may be the death of the good people. And Addie definitely is not going to risk her unborn child.

Interesting story, charming characters and a bountiful of suspense and danger, “Lone Wolf Lawman” is a racy start to another of Delores’s fascinating stories.

Dead In Her Tracks – Deadly Christmas In Solitude

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Christmas in Solitude, Oregon wakes up to the death of a young woman, dragging Sheriff Zane Duncan and his girlfriend/detective Stevie Taylor out into the cold winter of evil and secrets.

DeadInHerTracks-RogueWinterNovella2

Connecting from the death in the first Rogue Winter Novella, “Tracks Of Her Tears”, Zane and Stevie are thrown right into the path of a serial killer, who’s practicing his skill of killing until her gets to his ultimate goal Stevie. People are not what they seem to be and things are not what they are led to be believed. With drugs making its rounds in Solitude, Zane and Stevie have to put their best foot forward to keep Solitude safe.

Co-written by the author duo Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh, the Rogue Winter novellas are short and quick reads that keep the readers captivated and interested. I love the little details of humor and everyday life that Kendra injects into the gripping tale as we revisit Zane and Stevie. It’s nice to reconnect with some lovable characters as they try to live a normal life amidst evil and danger.

For the uninitiated or new readers, this series would be a great start to get to know two wonderful authors/writers. And you would be tempted to read the Rogue River Series where all the suspense, evil, death and romance started.

Tracks Of Her Tears – Death Revisits Solitude

November 14, 2015

Solitude, Oregon has been in solitude too long, and so why not just stir up some evil, betrayal and death. The Rogue Winter Novellas start off with Melinda Leigh taking us back to Solitude and the people fighting for justice and protecting the innocent.

TracksOfHerTears-RogueWinter1-MelindaLeigh

We have left Solitude as Seth and Carly finally accept that they love each other too much to put an end to their marriage. As they work out the kinks in this second lease of their relationship, the death of Carly’s brother’s girlfriend tests their fragile bond. Seth is determined to bring justice to the dead and Carly gives her everything to keep the orphaned baby safe and secure.

Co-written by the author duo Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot, the Rogue Winter novellas get off to deathly winter start. It’s always wonderful to re-visit characters from the previous stories to see their continuation after HEAs. And it’s absolutely fabulous to read romantic suspense written by Melinda.

Short and quick, captivating and arresting, “Tracks Of Her Tears” is a fast read of suspense and romance, love and relationships, support and solidarity.

For the uninitiated or new readers, this series would be a great start to get to know two wonderful authors/writers.

Fan The Flames – Inflammable Hero!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
November 8, 2015

This is my first read of Michele Dunaway and her first book in the Man Of The Month Series; “Fan The Flames” is an interesting read. And the man of the month Brad Silverman will definitely flamed my heart!

Brad Silverman is an ex-Navy SEAL and now a fireman in St. Louis and is entrusted the tough job of taking care of his partner’s widow. A difficult job indeed considering that he’s always loved Scarlett for the longest time and now the responsibility of her and her little daughter falls on his shoulders, to keep his promise to his dead friend.

FanTheFlames-ManOfMonth-MicheleDunaway-Sept2015 returns to St. Louis to start fresh after he husband dies in the line of duty, and renting Brad’s home throws them together everyday. As they re-connect, so do their hearts and the attraction lurking in the shadows can’t be ignored any longer.

This is Brad’s story all the way. He is one of the most admirable heroes I’ve read in a while. With kindness and humility, hard work and caring, patience and supportive, he takes care of Scarlet and her daughter. Even as guilt rides him for losing his partner, he is man enough to address them and tries hard to overcome. Michele Dunaway did a super fine job creating Brad Silverman to his perfect imperfection. I just loved him.

“Fan The Flames” will keep you interested and Michele Dunaway does a good job with narration and creating a good love story. I hope she gives a bit more strong and interesting caricature to her heroines in her future stories.

Christmas In Silver Bell Falls – Let The Magic Begin!

Filed under: Book Reviews — 1 Comment

It’s the season of snow and hot chocolate, hope and forgiveness, family and friends, love and miracles. It’s the season of magic. As the holiday season comes around, so do the Christmas romances written by some my favorite authors and leading this season for me is Samantha Chase’s “Christmas in Silver Bell Falls”.

A heroine averse to Christmas and all that it represents and a hero who thrives in the festivities of the season and his belief in the kindness and humanity. Two wonderful people, poles apart in beliefs, but brought together by circumstances and some careful planning.

ChristmasInSilverBellFalls-XMasNovella-SamanthaChase

Author/Writer Melanie Harper has so many bad memories tied with Christmas during her childhood years, that even as an adult she just can’t seem to let go of pain and forgive her past. But then an inheritance from an unlikely source takes her to the magical town of Silver Bell Falls, and to Josiah Stone.

The upright and sexy Sheriff of Silver Bell Falls, Josiah Stone falls hard for the new visitor in his town. He makes it his mission to show the wonders of Christmas and the kindness of people. He brings her into contact with the beautiful people of Silver Bell Falls, their care and kindness, their friendship and support, and in the process trust and love.

A wonderful read perfect for the holiday season. A simple love story as two people learn to give each other the trust and the foundation of a future. A simple narrative of a story, Josiah and Melanie take a place in my heart as they overcome pain and insecurities. Samantha Chase creates some wonderful supporting secondary characters and she does what she’s good at – weaving a winter wonderland of romance.
