Passions In Death – Unrequited Love

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
September 5, 2024

The party was a killer!

Literally!!! A pre-wedding party turns into a crime scene when one of the brides is murdered, grueseome, personal and with hatred. 

There’s no rest for Lt. Eve Dallas and the cop inside. Called into the crime scene inside the Down and Dirty club owned by one of their many friends, Eve has to be the reason and free from passion to bring the murderer to justice.

With her innate sense of detection and tenacity, her ever competent and witty team of enforcement and Eve have the arduous task of catching an envious evil consumed by passion that led to a horrendous crime.

Don’t miss a single dialogue between Eve and Roarke! Their banter and conversation is to die for, and every time I read a “Death” book, I am amazed at their relationship. They have come a long way from “Naked In Death” to “Passions In Death”. Narrating the path from meeting to marrying to traveling the bumpy road of a relationship to the maturity of their relationship,  amassing a life long of friendships and family, is a masterpiece that in my humble opinion only J. D. Robb can be trusted to pen with heart.

The highlight for me, in every Death book is Eve’s and Roarke’s relationship, leaving me delightfully gratified and satisfied!

Mind Games – Mind Over Matter

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
July 21, 2024

Isn’t life a mind game? Give and take, ups and downs, doubts and beliefs, tides and rifts. With a twist of fate and destiny taking your hand, what we do with the given is entirely up to us. 

A happy and content family, the Foxes lead a successful life with their children and like every year, their annual trip to visit Grammie Lucy is the highlight of their lives. But this year, fate has other plans for this happy  family, gripping them in a turmoil of “Mind Games” that forever will change their lives. 

I don’t even know where to start with a review, because this is one of those stories that is a compulsory read, to journey with Thea and her brother Rem, as they learn to navigate a life without their parents, for Thea to come to terms with her vision, and build a future for themselves along with their Grammie Lucy.

The entire time I was reading the story, I was waiting for the other shoe to fall. I forget for a second that this is Nora Robert’s plot and never does she give us the ordinary, and there’s a reason she’s a topnotch writer! The characters are created with extreme care and thought, their characters developed with great thought as they age through life, and the ancillary characters were well placed with care. The antagonist of the story is a masterful creation and giving him the vision made him a worthy adversary when the time comes for Thea to put an end to his mind games.

To understand the relationship of the Foxes, Grammie Lucy and the aftermath of the tragedy, the consequences of having a special gift, and the courage to accept and live  a full life, “Mind Games” will give the readers an insight into these wonderful characters. A must read book!!

The past is definitely not dead and gone!!

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.

That Cowboy Of Mine – Is A True Savior!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
April 25, 2022

Any book by Donna Grant is a definite read in my list and her latest, “That Cowboy Of Mine”,  is another captivating romance with two heartfelt souls finding a future with each other. 

Running a ranch is hard work and Dillon Young wants to protect her family legacy from falling into the wrong hands. But finding Cal Bennett unconscious on her ranch was not in her plan nor is offering him a job, considering she doesn’t know him at all.

Waking up to the barrel of a gun in his face, was not what Cal Bennett was looking for when he comes home. But then neither is Dillon Young and the sparks of attraction amid a series of accidents aimed at her.

Someone definitely is after Dillon and her ranch and posing as lovers is one way that Cal can help Dillon keep her ranch and at the same time, protect her while digging out the people behind the attempts. And Donna adds a twist to the finale as secrets come to light, and of the spark between them is strong enough to withstand the fall out and get their happy ending.

Another western romance from Donna Grant,  captivating her readers with a story of redemption, hope and love. She’s one author who does tremendous justice to paranormal as well as  romance with an ease of mastery.

Reading Donna Grant is like chicken soup for the soul! Whether she writes a twisted tale of the Dragon Kings or a contemporary cowboy romance, it will be a reading pleasure no matter the genre.

ACowboyLikeYou-HeartOfTexas#4-DonnaGrant

And with a cowboy like Danny Oldman, her fourth book in the Heart Of Texas series, is another heart warmer. The Lone Star Sheriff is content being the protector of his citizens, and love for him is far fetched as the girl of his dreams far away. But then fate always plays a hand bringing Skylar Long back to him with her painful present dogging her heals.

Now with their long ago attraction only deepening into love, both have to fight the demons before they can make a future.

“A Cowboy Like You” is another great read from Donna Grant!
