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.

More than friends?

Maybe by Valentine's Day!

Shy Kitty Crawley never got over her crush on former bronc champ Tyson Ellis. She’s always been his pal and “my buddy’s shy little sis” and that’s just dandy. Mostly. But now that Tyson’s temporarily the guardian of two little girls—and in way over his cowboy hat—they’re finding more ways to bond. Suddenly Kitty’s cowboy crush is in danger of growing into something else. And with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, there’s no escaping Cupid…or the bronc rider she’s falling for.

Such a cute book it was heartwarming and sweet. I loved the romance that was happening. I loved the sense of community with others always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Tyson is watching his nieces for a short while and was doing everything he can to make their stay comfortable. Kitty used to have a thing for Tyson in the past and it looks like those feeling didnt leave but its looking like someone is out to pursue her and she's not sure how she feels about this guy so it was interesting seeing how that played out. Overall theres plenty of sweet heartwarming moments and I really enjoyed out.

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. 

Review : The Rough Rider

Return to Maisey Yates’s fan-favorite Four Corners for a marriage of convenience between two unlikely souls—a hopeless romantic and a man who has long given up hope

When Alaina finds herself pregnant and alone, she knows she’s in a tight spot. Small towns like hers tend to raise eyebrows at unwed mothers and she knows the vicious gossip mill will soon be churning. Thankfully, her ruggedly stoic childhood protector, Gus McCloud, knows a thing or two about guarding secrets. Offering Alaina a marriage on paper is the least he can do.

As a hardworking rancher, Gus is well equipped to provide for Alaina and her baby. And despite plans for a solitary life, he wants to. He knows what it’s like to be an outsider, especially after a traumatic childhood left him with scars inside and out. Alaina has long dreamed of a fairy-tale romance, but as the growing fire between her and Gus starts feeling real enough to burn, she questions what that means. Maybe her fake marriage to Gus is the real love she’s been missing all along.

Alaina and Gus have known each other for very long time and when Alaina finds herself pregnant she isn't thrilled about the idea that the small town will go so her childhood friend Gus decides to stand in. Gus has always been a protector to those he loves and Alaina is no different and will do everything he can to take care of her and her child as a husband without the whole love thing getting in the way or at least that's what he thought.

I really enjoyed this book this whole plot is something that I'm pretty sure you've read many times over but I like how the author managed to make it her own with these unique set of characters. It was interesting seeing how this book played out. Alaina was a pretty free and out there character, and Gus was pretty serious and he really took care of things in a way he only knew how. When I got to know the past of the characters I could really see why they made certain choices. Both didn't have the greatest parental figures which made them question how it would be when it came to being parent themselves or loving someone. There are plenty of steamy scenes which kept things a bit spicy. Overall this was a pretty good book I really 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. But working with Huck Monroe, Sunset Cove’s new deputy detective, is more than business—he broke Olivia’s heart a decade ago. Huck is just as dedicated to uncovering the truth as he is tamping down any old feelings…until family secrets reveal a shocking surprise and unmitigated danger.

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.

No one knows the tune, until Julia Harcourt recognizes it as a piece she’s written herself. The lovely violinist is also a perfect physical match to all the victims. For the hunt to finally end, Rhys needs Julia to risk everything to catch the killer…before the elusive killer catches her first.

Rhy is a FBI special agent who is on the case defined the composer killer that's leaving the music tattoos on his victims when he stumbles upon Julia. After a bit it seems someone is clearly out to get her and Rhy will do everything he can to catch the killer and protect Julia. 

There was just so much in this book to enjoy. As always I love getting to know the characters and their backstories to what led to where they currently are which also made it easier to understand why they made certain choices throughout the book. There was attraction still simmering between the two but I'm glad that nothing became of it really in this book this was a clean book which I appreciate. Clearly the two cared about each other but I was kind enough curious when they would get together. Then there was a whole killer thing and what was his interest in Julia. I was curious someone he would try to strike on her and how it would play out. Overall this was just a really fun mystery suspense novel and I really enjoyed reading it.

Catching a kidnapper takes teamwork

…and a K-9’s help.

When a three-year-old boy is kidnapped, deputy sheriff Chandler Murphy and his search-and-rescue K-9 partner are on the case. And when the child’s mother, Bristol Delaney, insists on helping, he can’t turn her away. But someone is dead set on stopping the investigation. Can Chandler guarantee Bristol’s safety and rescue the missing child before the trail goes cold?

Bristol three year old son is kidnapped and she will do everything she can to find her child. Deputy sheriff Chandler and his K-9 partner is on the case. Bristol is pretty sure she knows who is the kidnapper or at least know someone was tied to him and she is a mother will never let go of her child and will do everything she possibly can to help.

So this was a really good book. I enjoyed reading it. You can tell how much love and devotion Bristol has for her child she would do anything and everything to get him back. Even if that puts herself in danger. It was actually kind of  meddlesome the fact that she was kind of like that instead of waiting for the police to do what they have to do. But it was still interesting seeing what length she would go  through to find him. There was just so much mystery behind who was the one who had kidnapped her child and why. I just loved following along and seeing how the book played out overall it was really good I enjoyed it.
