I finished listening to The Black Box by Michael Connelly, Harry Bosch Universe #24, and really enjoyed this one, despite the change in narrators. Here’s my review.
I finished Make Her Pay by Roxanne St. Claire, Bullet Catchers #8, and it just might be my favorite to date. It was excellent! Here’s my review.
I'm listening to Divine Evil by Nora Roberts (almost done and really enjoying) and reading Exposed by Laura Griffin, Tracers #7.

Nice review! Saving this read for the first snowfall of the season.
Last night I finished
Last Man Standing by Cindy Gerard. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished listening to Divine Evil by Nora Roberts and loved this creepy story! Here’s my review.
I’m now listening to The Horse Dancer by Jojo Moyes.

I forgot to update what I've been reading!I finished Duke of Desire (Maiden Lane #12) by Elizabeth Hoyt. This is the most recent release and brings me up to date with the series. I liked this book. But I also had a hard time with it. The hero deals with something tragic in his past, and sometimes right after talking about it, he and the heroine went right into sexy times, while I'm still reeling from the flashbacks. No bueno.
I also finished Crazy on You (Lovett, Texas #2) and Rescue Me (Lovett, Texas #3) by Rachel Gibson. I loved both, but really loved Crazy on You.
Lauren wrote: "The narrator changes with book 5 (thank goodness or I would have stopped listening) and Sophie Eastlake is a significant improvement over Cynthia Holloway."Good to know. I never cared for Holloway either.
I'm very slowly making my way through As Death Draws Near
. That will bring me up to date on that series.
Honor Reclaimed by Tonya Burrows 5-StarsGreat story with a flawed hero.

She is a terrible narrator. Cannot do accents or men's voices at all!

I finished Talk Sweetly to Me (Brothers Sinister #4.5) by Courtney Milan. I really enjoyed it. This was my first historical (regency) romance with a black woman as the main character, and I loved her. I wish this had been a full length novel so it could have addressed racial issues in more detail, but no complaints other than that. I am now up to date on this series.
I finished
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. Interesting book.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Then I picked up
to read one story, but discovered a Bullet Catchers story by Roxanne St. Claire called "Diamond Drop". My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Best Man last book in the
Second Service Box Set by Adrienne Bell 5-StarsMy Review: "The Best Man" https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... Short, Sweet and just Wonderful
My Review: "Second Service Box Set" https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... Highest recommendation I can give. Just fantastic and entertaining light reading
I just finished the first book in a series, it's been on my TBR for a while and with the new Romance Package at Audible, I felt it was time to get to it. Easy Love (Boudreax #1) by Kristen Proby. I mostly liked it, definitely enough to continue to the next book. Now I'm listening to Ice Blue (Ice #3) by Anne Stuart. I'm looking forward to getting back into this series. Again, Audible's Romance Package for the win.

My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished Last Man Standing by Cindy Gerard, Black Ops, Inc. #7, and loved the true series ending. It sets up the spinoff nicely. Here’s my review.
I finished up the series with the super short Dying to Score, #7.5. Not sure why she wrote this one (probably just for the anthology it originally appeared in) but it was pretty exciting. Here’s my review.
I’m now reading Pick Your Poison by Roxanne St. Claire, Bullet Catchers #8.5.

I just finished
(Harry Bosch Universe, #29), which will be the last series that I'll either finish or catch up on this year. I did make a lot of progress on a couple others and should easily catch up on all of these in 2018. I'm not a binger - I like to rotate through multiple series as well as non-series books, so I've read about 40 books that are part of series this year, but only 5 of them got me caught up or completed. I may get in one more of a couple of these by the end of the year, the rest I'll resume and probably complete in 2018:
(Song of Ice and Fire, #4)
(Jack Reacher, #13)
(Mitch Rapp, #16)
(John Wells, #9)
(Amos Decker #3)
(Millennium, #5)

Good job, Jeff! Reacher, Rapp and Decker are all series I’m reading. I’m up to date on Decker and am enjoying that series.
Have you checked out Cormoran Strike by Robert Galbraith (J. K. Rowland’s pseudonym)? I think you’d like it.

I'm loving this series so far. I hate to see it end. I haven't tried the audio on these books. Maybe next time around.
