I love these books in the Federal K-9 series because of the dogs who work and the law enforcement aspects. The author has 23 years as a federal agent and it shows. I like it because the dog has a personality and a role in the story. We get at least brief mentions, if not […]
Just in time for the Spooky season, Tessa’s case starts in a graveyard and involves a box of bones. The Wrong Bones is the tenth in the addictive Widow’s Island romantic suspense series bringing together two fabulous authors. Tessa is on routine patrol, but a misty Widow’s Island night doesn’t end in routine. She prevents […]
I’ve been reading the Widow’s Island series. The books alternate between the authors and each author has its own main character although the whole series is set in the same world and the main characters are close friends. They are written alternately by Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh. Each book in the series are short, […]
Returning to Widow’s Island, Bone Deep, the ninth of the series, finds Henry taken from his clinic at the point of a gun by two desperate men and threatened with his life if he doesn’t save their gunshot partner. Cate Wilde thought her years of intense, heart-pounding FBI work would be over when she bought […]
The Widow’s Island series is written alternately by Kendra Eliot and Melinda Leigh. Each book in the series are short, novella length. I would read them in order due to the personal relationships. In previous books, Cate is an FBI agent who is injured and comes back to the island to stay with her grandma […]
An FBI profiler matches wits with a serial killer from her past and comes to terms with a failed romance when she is forced to partner with her ex-husband. New to me author and a thrilling set up were a solid combo for grabbing my interest. Her Darkest Secrets caught my attention as soon as […]
I really wanted to try this one because of who the author is. The narrator being a favorite tipped me into trying the audio. Rules of Engagement looked to be just the kind of romantic suspense I enjoy. There is a complex set of layers in this world and in these characters. The main setting […]
I’m always interested in reading about dogs and a North Carolina setting. The first in the K-9 Defenders series doesn’t have a trained K-9, rather a smart dog. So I’m not sure the series title is very accurate. I peeked at the other two books and it looks like the series is about the three […]
When I’m in between series or recovering from a book hangover, I’ll re-read old favorites or go to some reliable authors for satisfying standalones. I guess it is kind of like an amuse-bouche for my brain. Nora Roberts is one of my go-to authors for several reasons; the most important of which is that I’ve […]
One of the biggest compliments I can give an author is to not pay attention to the blurb and simply grab up their next release without a qualm. In the Pines was therefore a delightful surprise when I barely read the first page and realized this was a revisit to the Mercy Kilpatrick world. I […]
