Rebecca Zanetti has taken her readers on an amazing thrill ride with the “Sin Brothers Series” and the spin off of the new “Blood Brothers” series starts off with a “Deadly Silence” as all the players are brought onto the stage of experiments, betrayal and secrets that seem to exist among them, yet those very secrets seem to cement a bond with these enhanced blood brothers.

Behind the “Lost Bastards Investigative Agency” are a group of blood brothers, with a past tortured by scientific experiments and genetic testing that erases the human to create a beast. Yet that very fear of the beast motivates the brothers to escape and help the innocent. As a PI, Ryker Jones has a very good cover up, but the past has a way of creeping up within the shadows of his life and his brothers and he would kill to protect his family.

As a paralegal Zara Remington has her hands full, what with her legal work helping a friend and her nights being spent with Ryker. Little does she know that one of her cases would lead her straight into danger and get into the cross hairs of Ryker’s past. Strong, independent and stubborn, Zara fights for the innocent, and would give her life for her loved ones…just like Ryker.

A brilliant start to the series, “Deadly Silence” also brings the Sin Brothers and it is always a pleasure to have them re-visit the readers. And the story doesn’t disappoint as Rebecca Zanetti weaves another series, to give another set of blood brothers justice and hope for a normal life.

Received an ARC from Forever (Grand Central Publishing) via NetGalley for an honest review.

Under siege. That’s how Ryker Jones feels. The Lost Bastards Investigative Agency he opened up with his blood brothers has lost a client in a brutal way. The past he can’t outrun is resurfacing, threatening to drag him down in the undertow. And the beautiful woman he’s been trying to keep at arm’s length is in danger…and he’ll destroy anything and anyone to keep her safe.

Paralegal Zara Remington is in over her head. She’s making risky moves at work by day and indulging in an affair with a darkly dangerous PI by night. There’s a lot Ryker isn’t telling her and the more she uncovers, the less she wants to know. But when all hell breaks loose, Ryker may be the only one to save her. If his past doesn’t catch up to them first…

Full of twists and turns you won’t see coming, DEADLY SILENCE is New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti at her suspenseful best.

EXCERPT:

Heat from his body washed over her, but she lifted her head to meet his gaze. “We don’t have a relationship.”

He smiled then, and the curve of his lips held more determination than amusement. “I’m not letting you run, and I’m certainly not letting you hide, baby. Although neither of us has been in this for the long haul, I’m staying in Wyoming for the moment. The first thing that’s going to happen is I’m going to figure out who dared put a hand on you and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

For the first time, she saw a side of him that gave her true pause. In the long haul, he’d be unbearably possessive. Why did that give her an intriguing sense of safety? “Knock it off,” she snapped in his face. “Get out of my business.”

That quickly, she found her back against the door and her front pinned by hard male. His hands planted on either side of her neck, his thumbs at her jaw, forcing her to look at him. “Something you need to understand and pretty damn quick is that your business is my business right now.” His thumb swept up and over the offensive bruise on her face.

“Step back.” Her voice trembled.

He ignored the very calm order. “No. You don’t want to tell me who did this? Fine. I’ll find out on my own, and I’ll have the name by the time I pick you up for supper. What you don’t want to do is deal with him or his case until I have that name. Kicking him in the balls might’ve just pissed him off more, and now you’ve let a bully stew on it for a while, which might be dangerous for you. Got it?”

“You have no right to interfere,” she whispered.

“Baby, I’ve been fuckin’ you for months. That gives me every right.” Anger glowed dark in his eyes.

“We’re done. Get out.”

His eyes softened. “You shouldn’t make statements you can’t back up.”

She shoved against his ripped abs.

He didn’t move a millimeter.

And then he did.

His head dipped, and his mouth found her neck and wandered up to her ear. His teeth scraped, and then his tongue licked the slight wound.

Of its own volition, her body did a full tremble.

He leaned back. “That.”

Her mind fuzzed.

His mouth slammed down on hers. She knew his kiss—often dreamed about it. Not soft and sweet . . . not even lustful. It was dangerous. From day one, she’d tasted danger on his tongue, and it burned her hotter than she’d ever been.

Never had she dated a bad boy, but after living her desired routine-driven life for years, she’d craved adventure, and he filled that need. He drew out a wildness she hadn’t realized she possessed.

He held her flush against the door, kissing her hard, sending a craving along her nerves that almost hurt. His tongue went to work, his left hand keeping her jaw open for him. His right hand found her hip and dragged her against the obvious bulge in his jeans. By the time he released her, she’d stopped thinking completely.

“What time are you finished today?” he asked, his breath heating her face.

“Fi-five,” she stuttered.

He leaned back and gently put her to the side. “Stay in the office until I come for you at five, Zara.” He ran his thumb across her bottom lip. “Cross me on this, baby, and I ain’t gonna be gentle.” He had already shut the door behind himself before she could take a whole breath.

She blinked several times, her fingers going to her still-tingling mouth. What had just happened?

 

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.

Received an ARC from Sourcebook Casablanca via NetGalley for an honest review.

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.

Received an ARC from Montlake Romance via NetGalley for an honest review.

Adding another new author to my list to be read again and again! In fact I went and bought a few of her books! I always get goose bumps every time I read a new author and end up loving them for repeat reads and a place in my library.

Vonnie Davis is a brand new author and her latest (and first for me), “Her Survivor” takes readers into the stories of the courageous and brave soldiers who guard us with their lives, and the aftermath of war and death. But let me assure that there is plenty of romance to warm the heart.

HerSurvivor-BlackEagleOps#1-VonnieDavis-Jul2016

Navy Seal Dustin Frank is recovering from the trauma of losing a leg and getting acclimated to a life that will just not be normal anymore, yet he needs to make it normal to survive. Heading to Eagle Ridge Ranch to surround with his army brothers to recuperate, never did he dream of a life that comes in the bookstore owner Kelcee Todd.

Inheriting the bookstore that she loves with all her heart, Kelcee Todd is all set to step into the next chapter of her life. Strong and independent, warm and compassionate, supportive and kind, Kelcee Todd has a lot to be grateful for and has a baggage of past to unload.

Together Kelcee and Dustin are at each other’s throats, together they set the sparks on fire and together they sizzle between the sheets, and together they have to overcome a danger from the past, if they want to have a chance at a future together.

Vonnie Davis does a brilliant job of caricaturing Dustin as the struggling war veteran, giving us an insight into the lives of these brave wounded soldiers, fighting the nightmares of death and tragedy, yet giving them hope as they cling to the support and warmth of friends and kind people. Kelcee Todd is a firecracker of a woman, going toe to toe with Dustin as his better half.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Dustin and Kelcee, along with the supporting characters, and the thrill of looking forward to a new series as Vonnie Davis lays foundation to the Black Eagle Ops with the first book, “Her Survivor”.
