Task 5 - 29. Read over 750 450 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.

Professions such as LEO, military or musicians are ok. Just don’t try to pass off a rancher and a chef as both being in the food industry - they are simply not close enough. Please include the selected profession in your completions post and to let me know how you know the book qualifies - title, precis, tags or lists, including links and any other necessary information. I need to know where to look to confirm your books. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

Please note that private investigators/private detectives are NOT considered law enforcement officers.

Jane  | 548 comments How long is your book? The one I’ve chosen (but hasn’t started) has only 223 pages.

Does your book have at least 227 pages? If not I’ll search for another when I get up in the morning.

This was okay, a quick read. I liked Josie, Noah was a bit pushy. The main issue seemed to be solved a little to easy.

Rating/Review: ★★★
This was 3 novellas about a couple put together in 1 book. It spans several years, starting in High School. I'm not actually a fan of a lot of high school books where it is a lot about girls doing anything for star athletes. The female MC is not like this but it is still very clearly describe as normal. It is also her who has to help him all the way through the book.

Characters are all a mess and I get it its tjere cha but I just couldn't love th or want to understand them. Se parts were confusing. The wndong was what is going on.

It is over 6 years since I read #6 in the series but I actually remembered quite a bit of it. As usual Stacy is under attack and has to both fight different people and protect her cousin with the help of her familiar, a great Dane. It has a couple of fun twists at the end.

I didn't know what to expect here as it took me some time to find a book from the list but it was funny. I really enjoyed this short romance and was actullly laughing out loud a couple of times. Both MCs were very likable and so was most of their families. I might actually check more books from this author.

I saw this book for many years but never got to it. This year I found out that Ian is autistic and was amazed and rly wanted to read for months since then bc I was curious how will be that portrayed. Lets me say it I enjoyed it. The romance was on point. Sometimes I would get annoyed by brothers but that is what brothers do. To annoy.
