Romantic-Suspense Lite and RIGHT!
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2..."
I read this a while back and thought it was pretty cute.
I finished Hunt Her Down by Roxanne St. Claire, Bullet Catchers #7, and this might be the best to date. Here's my review.
I'm now reading SEALed With a Kiss by Cindy Gerard, Black Ops, Inc. #6.5.

Has anyone read this one?"
I think I have??? It was years ago, before Goodreads, but if it is the story I'm thinking about, I really liked it.
I finished listening to The Drop by Michael Connelly, Harry Bosch #21, and found it highly interesting on several levels. Here's my review.
I finished Then Came You by Jeannie Moon, first in a new series called Compass Cove, and liked it a lot. Here's my review.
I'm now listening to Heaven's Keep by William Kent Krueger, Cork O'Connor #9, and reading Going Dark by Monica McCarty, The Lost Platoon #1.

A short, quick novella about legendary Marshall Jack Walker who has been forced by his wealthy parents out east to find a wife. Jack wants to settle down and farm. Piper Renwick, is also forced to marry has been sent to Boston from England as a Mail Order Bride. Jack isn't expecting this beautiful woman when she walks down the plank. Piper is a God fearin' woman who is sassy and independent and not sure of this unkempt law man. The join a wagon caravan to Detroit. Charles Dewitt, a charming, well mannered man takes an interest in Piper, which of course, rankles Jack to know end. Jack has no idea how to charm a lady and every attempt he does, backfires. Charles Dewitt is not who he seems to be. The story is full of clean romance, suspense, intrigue, robberies, shootouts and kidnapping. A fun, inspirational love story. 5 stars

Hey Jonetta - the link to your review may be bad - or maybe it's my computer

Casey Edwards has spent the last 10 years in Sanctuary, a mental hospital. She has been released with no recollection of her past and why she was sent there. Dr. Blake Hunter finds her wandering around town and starts up a sweet friendship with Casey. Casey and Blake are determined to unravel her past and get her memory back. This story is full of secrets, greed, murder, betrayals and romance. The characters were so developed and believable. (Just wish she would have used some other names for some. Too many that started with 'R' that I had to really think who was who). This was a book I really had a hard time putting down. Full of mystery and suspense. I just loved it!! 5 stars


Not what I expected.

Bravo! Bravo! Story of four young children from many backgrounds who come together under the same household to be cared by a African American housekeeper named Mama Pearl. The story flashbacks to their pasts, secrets, dreams, desires and friendship up to adulthood. How each character evolves, the secrets that comes out. A book of love, betrayals, tragedies, forgiveness, some history, mysteries and romance. I figured out some of the ending half way through, but other incidents just blew me away. I thought the characters were so strong, unique and believable. Each person had their unique characteristics. I found this book so hard to put down. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I absolutely LOVED it!! +++ 5 stars

Tillie is a dress designer from a well to-do family. Her parents only want her to marry and be the perfect wife and hostess. Tillie doesn't want to marry and to just pursue her career. Alexander is the Duke of Barre and was taken with Tillie at her best friends wedding. The only way he can get her to give him a chance is to make up a scheme regarding his ex fiance and to make a deal with her to benefit her career. This was a fun, quick story to read. I loved to see the heroine very independent and strong willed and the hero not to be the rake people think he is. The banter between them both and with the ex fiance was fun. A great little historic romance story.
**Was given this book free for an authors review** 5 stars
I finished listening to Don't Let Go by Harlan Coben and loved it. Coben is an auto read and here’s my review.
I’m listening to My Husband's Wife by Amanda Prowse.

Linnie has had to take on the family Wayfair Inn after her reckless brother Freddie stole the money and many of the towns shops and jobs, not to mention the families money and left for California to make movies. Linnie has dutifully tried to bring the Inn back to run for profit again. The Wayfair's have the legacy that only the male heir has rights to the Inn, so when Freddie 'grows up', he will before full owner and manager of the Inn. Linnie had hoped her brother would never show his face again, but when the "Siren's" filter the local mail and find out 'brother dearest' is coming into town, Linnie is furious. The Siren's are a group of women who reminded me very much of the Ya'Ya's. Freddie hires Linnie's heartthrob Daniel to do some secret work for him which puts their relationship (what there is of one) in turmoil. The goings on between siblings, family, friends, co-workers and boy-friend make this book out to be very interesting and funny. What I didn't care for was, too many characters to try to keep track of and I felt the book was too drawn out where I lost interest at times. I think it could have been condensed and still have the wonderful characters and story lines. With that being said, I would still love to read more in this series. 4 stars

I realized I had already read Corrupt too.

It's a dark gritty romance type of book that's easy to love or to hate, but still would recommend for anyone to give it a go. Free with Kindle Unlimited.

This was a surprise find for me. Needed a book that took place in Florida for a challenge. Did not think I would like it as much as I did. The series seems promising so hopefully the next book will be as good as this 1st one turned out. Fair warning - although the the book's mystery is solved, it still ends on a cliffhanger as the series has an running plot/mystery. Free with Kindle Unlimited.

Book 10 in the Mercy Thompson series. I freaking love this series, so much. I kept saying I wasn't going to pay that $14 for it....but ended up needing it for a challenge so caved. I'm not thrilled at the price, but I don't regret getting it either.

High Expectations Met
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm sorry but The Highland Hero was not one of my favorites in the series. It was not as action packed. A romance between Chrissie, the youngest of the girls and Blaine, the Man at Arms. Chrissie is at a crossroad of who she really loves and wants to marry, Heath or Blaine. Once she finally decides she is kidnapped by enemies. She looses her innocence from rape, but sure gets over it fast for Blaine. Drama continues through the story even after marrying Blaine. Past characters make an appearance: Amabel, Analis, Broderick and Duncan and Aunt Alli, along with the new children. What I didn't not like was all the tears, crying and sobbing. It seems every time the two were together there were tears for both of them, no matter what emotion. It got very old to read. Blaine, for being this tough Man at Arms cried a lot. Not very manly for the time period. I really have enjoyed her series and will continue to read her works, but I felt this to be a lame ending. 3 stars
