Lindsay McKenna - Silver Creek series - Bk 1 is Silver Creek Fire.

Colleen Coble - I recently read the first book in her Annie Pederson series - Edge of Dusk.

I also enjoyed Rebecca Zanetti's first book in her Laurel Snow series You Can Run

Have you tried Katie Reus' Red Stone Security series? I've read a couple of the more recent ones in this series of 19 books. I haven't read the early ones, but the first in the series is No One to Trust.

Thank you for the recommendations Pam. Really appreciate it :-)

I checked out the authors you mentioned, and I think I will start with Hidden (Deep Ops Book 1) by Rebecca Zanetti.

I'll read it as soon as I finish See Him Die by Debra Webb. I already bought it. Was too impatient to wait for Christine's feedback. Lol. So far I'm enjoying it :-)

You're welcome. I am looking forward to seeing what you think of it. I have her Deep Ops series on my TBR, but haven't worked it into my reading schedule yet.

Well, I finished See Him Die. It was okay—some parts were more enjoyable than the others. I plan to read Hidden next. Will be sure to share my thoughts with you :-)

Diverse characterization, exciting scenes, and great world-building made this crime thriller a winner for me.

PamG (lynguy1) | 1147 comments My 4 star review of Daughter of Redwinter Daughter of Redwinter by Ed McDonald by Ed McDonald:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

This is the first book in a new epic fantasy series. Overall, it is gripping and thought-provoking. The high stakes and smooth writing made it a page turner for me. There’s a lot of time spent introducing the characters and some of their back-stories as well as world-building, but that’s not unusual in the first book in a series of this magnitude. However, there is a lot of introspection by the main character that slows the pace as times.

PamG (lynguy1) | 1147 comments Here is my 4 star review of Harlem Sunset Harlem Sunset (Harlem Renaissance Mystery #2) by Nekesa Afia by Nekesa Afia.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Set in Harlem in the late 1920’s, Harlem Sunset by Nekesa Afia brings to life the vibrant nightlife, jazz music, dancing, and cultural awareness of the times. It’s not just a historical mystery, but also the character journey of protagonist Louise Lloyd.

PamG (lynguy1) | 1147 comments Here is my 4 star review of Harmony of Fire Harmony of Fire by Brian Feehan by Brian Feehan:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Brian Feehan’s debut novel, Harmony of Fire is an intense paranormal romantic suspense novel with plenty of action, thrills, and edginess. The author’s creativity and great world-building stand out in this novel. (Brian is the son of Christine Feehan).

Read books 1 to 4 of the Deep Ops series by Rebecca Zanetti.

I enjoyed all the books, though if I had to pick a favourite, it would probably be book 4: Driven Driven (Deep Ops, #4) by Rebecca Zanetti

Going to start book 5: Unforgiven Unforgiven (Deep Ops #5) by Rebecca Zanetti soon.

Pam, thank you again for recommending this author to me :-)

Recently finished Katie Lane's Kingman Ranch series. All are sweet and sexy stories, with a bit of comic relief.
* Charming a Texas Beast
* Charming a Knight in Cowboy Boots
* Charming a Big Bad Texan: Bad Boy Cowboy

First Class Family The Complete Collection (First Class Novels, #1-9) by A.J. Harmon
I also finished a reread of a go-to, feel-good favorite, First Class Family: The Complete Collection by A.J. Harmon. The series comprises 10 stories of the Latham family and the loves of their lives. All save the final story, which recalls the parents' love story, are available separately (However, the first book ends in a cliffhanger which resolves in book two.

My latest GR update took forever because of the dang captcha. ACK! That alone could keep me from listing my reads (and I don't even list everything!)

PamG (lynguy1) | 1147 comments My 3 star review of The Finalists The Finalists by David Bell by David Bell:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The author layers multiple themes as the story focuses on the challenges students face in order to get an education as well as the lengths colleges will go to in order to receive donations from wealthy donors.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Deaths, an island with a history of murder, violence, superstition, child abuse, and a strong storm make this a disturbing and suspenseful story. The world-building was well-done and the premise was excellent.

Karen (xkamx) | 101 comments Hard and Fast (Italian Stallions, #2) by Mari Carr
Recently finished Mari Carr's Hard and Fast, part of her new Italian Stallions series. The series is a spinoff of and features characters from her Wilder Irish series -- "Italian Stallion" sisters/cousins married into the Collins Clan and several of the "IS" craftsmen cousins worked on the Collins pub in the last couple of books in the Irish series.

I've enjoyed the series so far (two books to date).

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

This is a British crime drama / police procedural. The narrative is suspenseful with a creative, absorbing, complex, and well-paced plot with some twists that will keep a reader guessing. This is the fifth book in the series, and it is best read in order.
