Here is my 3.93 rounded to 4 stars review of The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Romantic Comedy
Cute, Light, and Entertaining
I read The Last Sister and The Silence by Kendra Elliot. They're the first two books of her Columbia River Series. I enjoyed them both.
I'm now reading the Dr. Charlotte Stone Series by Karen Robards. It's a Paranormal Romantic Suspense/Crime Thriller Series and spans over four books. Pretty interesting so far.

I've read and enjoyed the first three books of this series. The fourth and fifth book—Deep Tide and Liar's Point—are on my TBR list. I'm hoping I get a chance to read them within the next few months.
Happy Reading :-)

Shelby—I enjoy the Detective Josie Quinn Series by Lisa Regan too :-) The Touch of Evil Series by Kennedy Layne is on my TBR list. I hope I get a chance to start it soon.

Lisa Kleypas is great. I don't think I've read this book but I've read her Hathaways series and enjoyed it a lot :-)

I read books 1, 2, 3, 5 & 8 of the Broslin Creek Series by Dana Marton. I'd planned to read three books for the Deadly Author of the Month Challenge in the Tall, Dark & Deadly group but I ended up reading five. I enjoyed them all. My favourite was book 3—Deathtrap.

Yes, that series also seems interesting. It's on my TBR list too but not for anytime soon. There are several other books I wish to read first. But I'd love to hear your thoughts on it when you get a chance to read it :-)

Great review, Pam, I agree with everything you wrote :-)
I remember when I read this book I had to skim over certain scenes as they were too graphic for me. (Though I admit I do this with a lot of Romantic Suspense and Crime Thrillers I read. Lol.)
Still, overall I found it a very enjoyable read. I'm glad you enjoyed it too :-)

I really like how she writes her stories normally. This one was just darker and more graphic than many. I'm glad you enjoyed it too.
Here is my 4.18 rounded to 4 stars review of Murder in White by Patrick Kellyhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Mystery / Police Investigation
Good Characterization
Solid Plot
Excellent World-building

Yes, she's a great writer. I've enjoyed everything by her that I've read so far. You're right though. Some of her books are darker and more graphic than others.

I read books 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the Abbott and Lowell Forensic Mystery Series by Jen J. Danna and Ann Vanderlaan.
I'd planned to read these books sometime later this year but I read them now because book 5—Lament The Common Bones—had an academic setting, which was the requirement for the June Reading Challenge in the Tall, Dark & Deadly group. The story didn't have as much of an academic setting as the plot description led me to believe, so I'm not sure if it actually qualified for the challenge, but I did enjoy it.
I enjoyed all the books actually. My favourites were:
Book 3: A Flame in the Wind of Death
Book 4: Two Parts Bloody Murder
I've learned that Jen J. Danna and Ann Vanderlaan have written the FBI K-9 Series under the pseudonym of Sara Driscoll and also that Jen J. Danna has written the NYPD Negotiators Series under the same pseudonym. I hope I get a chance to read them soon :-)
