I always enjoy the Bree Taggert series.   It’s a police procedural, with a found family, and there’s K9 work too.  I’m very attached to Bree and her family, her relationship with Matt, and her old partner, Dana. Bree has revamped her force and it includes more women now.  She still hates the politics, press conferences […]

The Bree Taggert series continues to be a much loved favorite of mine.  Every book has been a pleasure to read.  I like police procedurals but the found family, aspects of their personal lives, and some K9 work all really add to the overall read. I did feel Dana was barely there in On Her […]

Lie to Her by Melinda Leigh @MelindaLeigh1 #MontlakeRomance @amazonpub  @melindaleighauthorpage #KindleUnlimited

I have loved this Bree Taggert series from the beginning.  It is in the genre of police procedural which is a favorite for me.  But the great development of complex characters with attention to both their professional life and personal one is a key. There is the mystery of the investigation which I always enjoy.  […]
