I noticed Nobody’s Fool was the second in the Sami Kierce series so I decided to read Fool Me Once first. I found this very confusing since there was no character called Sami Kierce. There was a Roger Kierce and he was a minor, background sort of character. So I was surprised now to read […]
I’ve read the Myron Bolitar series for quite awhile. It’s been three years since the previous book and maybe ten years since I read the first 10 books in the series. I have read the Mickey Bolitar series so I stayed up to date. There’s more of the quirky and absurd in Think Twice than […]
I don’t read very much historical fiction. It is often degrading to women. The commonplace beliefs are upsetting. A Calamity of Souls was heartbreaking each step of the way. With less scientific methods, and the prejudice in law enforcement and judicial systems, a black man arrested for murder is likely to be convicted. He is […]

They have depth in their flaws, and their wants and needs, their rationalizations and dreams. The primary character is David. […]
I listened to the first two books in the Atlee Pine series with the main character is a female FBI agent. She gets into some intense, suspenseful cases. She prefers working more independently in her small office, although she has worked in large offices, too. I love her assistant, Carol Blum, who is an older […]
I really have loved this Kendra Michaels series . I have given my rapt attention to Kendra who uses all her senses to deduce what is going on in the world. She often helps the FBI on their cases, reluctantly. There’s action, mystery, intelligent casework and a nice group of family and friends. Adam Lynch […]
ICYMI is a post from my early days of blogging at Yummy Men & KickAss Chicks. You can see the original review here. . This is an anthology of Christmas romances. I think it can be difficult to develop characters sufficiently to care about them in shorter stories. It is also challenging to have the […]
