I love the Beckett series.My mom and I are both enjoying Mary Martinez books. I had the pleasure of meeting Mary Martinez when my husband and I went to Sacramento last July.Please check out her books.
Profit: Utopia the Conclusion (Beckett #5) is another great read by Mary Martinez. The one thing with this one that stopped me in my tracks was the scene in the trunk. I'm not sure that a Great Dane and a person could fit. Maybe, but somehow I doubt it, even if Bryn was 95 pounds soaking wet.
Otherwise, another excellent plot that was well-written!
From the very beginning I have loved Matt Beckett. He is honest as the day and the only person he wants in his life is the lovely Brynn Connelly. Brynn has the host for Matt but she thinks he is a playboy. Till one day Matt gives her his phone and tells her she can call anyone she wants. From that moment on they are inseparable. The need to be in order to catch the new threat to them. Just when you think it is safe, the monster rears it's ugly head. Brynn is caught. Matt would die if anything happens to her. You could just feel the love when they are near. I loved the ending.
