A shocking bequest

could cost her life.

Attacked on the property she unexpectedly inherited, Rose Balfour barely escapes with the help of former hostage negotiator Henry Walsh. Someone is determined to keep her from testifying at a loan shark’s murder trial. But when she does and the danger continues, Rose suspects there are answers in the house left to her. Teaming up with Henry, Rose uncovers surprising evidence and a powerful enemy determined to silence them. Not even Henry’s isolated ranch is a safe refuge. With their lives on the line and captors closing in, can Rose and Henry expose the web of secrets—before they vanish forever?

I just really enjoyed this book there was just so much going on. From the moment this book even starts there's something we are dropped in the middle of and to be fair it was hard to put down because you just kind of don't want to stop. So it appears when Rose inherited a house unexpectedly she inherited more than just that and the trouble seems to want to come after her thankfully she runs into Henry Walsh who was able to help her out in her time of need. Overall it's a really good book very fast-paced I really enjoyed it.

he’ll have to trust a woman from his past to save his future.

On the shores of her lighthouse on a stormy night, the last thing Ava Donovan expected to see was her old flame Liam Brody. While investigating a nearby shipwreck, Liam’s business partner was murdered at sea. With no memory of the incident, no alibi and in need of refuge, Liam finds safe haven with Ava, her lighthouse providing a perfect hideout from those trying to catch him. Finally reunited, Ava will stop at nothing to help Liam restore his memory and, with it, the truth behind the brutal murder. But will love be enough to recover what was lost…before time runs out?

I really enjoyed reading this mystery suspense novel. I enjoyed watching as they work together to figure out what really happened, Ava is a amateur sleuth and in her own way trying to find connection together in question those in suspicion. This had a small town with everyone being loose-lipped and closely know each other so in a way they're tight-lipped and protecting those they care about. But it was interesting seeing how they work together to piece things to redeem Liam from being considered a murderer, there was a small romance going on between the two which didn't it really distract from what was going on. Overall this was a pretty good book if you like mystery suspense novels you might like this.

A serial arsonist is looking for revenge against Hazel and her family. When Hazel finds out her son and his Championship friends are missing possibly kidnapped in the middle of the forest she will do everything she can to find him. Especially since there are so many elements that could get the boys as well as the serial arsonist she will work together with Mitchell a firefighter who will do everything we can to help Hazel find the boys.

Whew this book jumps right into the middle of the action. From the moment the book starts readers will be hooked by the massive of amounts of things that happen it was barely a minute to rest. I enjoyed following along I say follow the bread crumbs to finding the boys and figuring out how to deal with their faith that was really being tested throughout the book. I like that while there was interest between Hazel and Mitchell it really didn't do much in this book I mean there is no time for Romance time is of the essence with this book. I thought it was interested in the family dynamic and the issues people had with Hazel's father he really was something else. Overall I really enjoyed this action packed book it really will leave you hooked.

This was a pretty interesting book I enjoyed watching as they followed any leads they could find. This isn't Jakes first rodeo of his daughters going missing and now hurts even more being so close yet so far when she goes missing once again but now he got Laney someone as desperate as him to find her. This mothers love holds no bounds and would do everything she can to get her daughter back and figure out why the person even did this.

Some secrets should stay

beneath the surface…

Working alongside Marlowe McCoy means that NYPD diver Wyatt Trumbull has to ignore his fierce attraction to the prickly safecracker. He faces a whole new set of challenges when she finally responds to his desire with her own—and when clues in his latest case implicate her family. He wants to protect her, but will his own hidden scars make them both vulnerable? 

Marlowes skills at being a safecracker make her a great asset and tends to get called frequently by the NYPD lately. Things start to get complicated when Marlowe is seeing a bit of connection between her family and Wyatts case and the more they look into it its clear she's onto something.

I really enjoyed this book. There was plenty going on to keep me interesting like how Marlowe was seeing certain connections that police weren't and how she decided to follow up with her own type of shotty investigating. Then there was Wyatt who was the actual investigator to what's going on and when he finds out about her looking into things when she shouldn't ends up aiding her or at least protecting her from herself because she was catching someone who clearly didn't want her looking into things eye. There was a bit of steamy scenes which also kept things interesting. Overall pretty good book I enjoyed it.

Or become the next victims?

She returned home for a funeral, but Olivia Ballard is soon embroiled in her grandfather’s possible murder.

Olivia is back home for the funeral for her very much loved grandfather who after looking into it feels like more then an accident. When clues are leading towards possible murder Olivia looks further into it with deputy detective Huck who broke her heart a while ago. 

I like a good mystery book and I really found myself enjoying this one. It was also a quick read for me as well so if you like a mystery that isn't too long but with a lot going for it you'll like. There was a bit of attraction between the Olivia and Huck that was somewhat from the past they once had I appreciate that it didn't completely take over the book because clearly they are out to solve the mystery. I really enjoyed following along as they put things together and seeing how everything came out in the end. Highly Recommend!

From the moment this book started the readers are thrown in right into the middle and I got to say it was a great start because I was hooked till the very end. I love the many twists and turns that kept happening the attempts on her life wondering when they would strike next. There was never a dull moment when it came to this book. There was plenty faith-based things going on and it had a clean somewhat of a romance that doesn't go farther than a skinny kiss. I just had so much fun reading with me I love when a book can keep me on my toes and if you like mystery suspense novels you're going to really enjoy this one.
