End Game Rachel Dylan Capital Intrigue Book #1


Description:
When elite members of the military are murdered on the streets of Washington, DC, FBI Special Agent Bailey Ryan and NCIS Special Agent Marco Agostini must work together to bring the perpetrator to justice. Unfortunately, all evidence points to a Navy SEAL sniper whom Bailey refuses to believe is guilty. 

When Bailey and Marco start to connect the dots between the victims, including a link to a powerful defense contractor, they wonder if there's a deeper cover-up at play. Then Bailey is targeted, and it becomes clear that someone is willing to kill to keep their dark secrets. 

With the stakes getting higher by the moment in a twisted conspiracy, there's a rush against the clock to determine whom they can really trust. As allies turn to enemies, the biggest secret yet to be uncovered could be the end of all of them.

My thoughts on the book:

"I think they might be keeping dead bodies in their condo". Any book that starts off with that sentence you know you are in for a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I could not put this book down I really wanted to know what was going to happen next. The author truly keeps you guessing from beginning to end. At one point I thought I had it all figured out and then the author would throw in a twist and keep you winding what was going to happen next. I really can't say I had a favorite character in this book I have to say I really enjoyed everyone on the team for all different reasons and I really want to know what happens with them. I like Izzy and how she held back but when things needed done she got them done. This book is a good clean read and you will not regret reading this book.

Love you, Truly Susan Tuttle



Description:

Blake Carlton, the camera-shy son of Hollywood’s Darling, dodges the invasive limelight and scripted relationships that so often accompany fame. But when his mother’s popularity declines and she falls into a depression, he offers himself up as the next bachelor on a reality show, hoping to reignite interest in her career while creating a way for them to finally connect.

After her fiancĂ© dumps her for her best friend, aspiring photographer Harlow Tucker is done with romance—until her beloved, disabled sister requests her aid to start a nonprofit. Harlow agrees to do whatever is needed to raise funds, even reluctantly costarring on a dating show with a notorious womanizer who distrusts anyone behind a lens.

As Blake and Harlow navigate the superficiality of a reality show, their preconceived notions of love are challenged. Deciding to trust each other feels like the ultimate risk, but taking that chance could lead to a love truly picture-perfect, worth both of their hearts.

My thoughts on the book:

This book was so cute I am not a huge fan of a certain tv show that this may be based off and so some  of this I was I was thinking this my come off as corny or cheesy and that never happened. The author draws you in and literally keeps you sucked in till the end. I really really loved Charlie and Darcy they were like what friends are made of. I really like Harlow and Mae as well both very stubborn and independent women who shine with God's love for their life. I love how the author kept the relationship with God the first and foremost in this story because no matter what that's what important. This book is a good clean read. There are some tough topics discussed but well worth the read.

The Amish Wedding Promise Laura V. Hilton- Hidden Springs #1


Description:
Could this bride's wedding disaster be a blessing in disguise?

Grace Lantz always imagined her wedding day would be a blissfully happy occasion. But after a tornado swept through town, she finds herself relieved that the ceremony is delayed. After all, her groom-to-be hasn't even bothered to check on her. Instead, it's the handsome volunteer Zeke Bontrager who selflessly offers Grace his strong shoulders to lean on.

Zeke came to Hidden Springs to assist a community in need. He didn't expect to meet his soul mate. Determined to ignore his feelings, Zeke promises to help reunite kind, beautiful Grace with her groom. But after spending time together, Grace confesses that she might not want to marry her fiancé after all. Can Zeke convince her that her true love is standing right in front of her? And can she find the courage to follow her heart?

My thoughts on the book:

I like this story it was cute and down to earth. I did however feel like parts of the story did drag on. Without giving much away I wish the main subject or at least it felt like the main subject would have been handled a lot sooner in the book and the secondary situation would have played out sooner so there could be more of that story and less of the other. I loved Zach he felt like wasn’t good enough but he always seemed to keep his head up and keep fighting for what was right. I was not a huge fan of Vernon and I wish we found out more about Jon. I liked Grace a lot to she was reckless, fun, independent and reliable and you could totally feel like you could be friends with her. This book was a good clean read and fun to boot. You can’t go wrong. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

Strike Force Mary Alford- Courage Under Fire #1



Description:
Out of the ashes of defeat comes a brand new mission.

Who will survive?

Forced to change their names just to survive, Former CIA Agents Piper Morgan and Reed Decklin fled the frozen tundra of Alaska to take refuge in the mountains of Wyoming. 

With their new identities in place, Sidney Morgan and Kaiden Bennett join the recently-formed Strike Force in order to bring down the deadly terrorist team known only as Legion. But how can you win against an enemy that will stop at nothing to fulfill its deadly plot?

The one good thing to come out of the attack in Alaska was Sidney and Kaiden found each other again. As their love grows stronger, nothing prepares them or the team for the magnitude of Legion’s plan, or how far up the command chain Legion’s reach truly goes. Even to some of the highest offices of government.

In this sequel to the USA Today Bestselling story, Storm Warnings, the Strike Force team is determined to finish the mission that started two years earlier in the deserts of Afghanistan with the deaths of Sidney’s entire CIA unit.

With the stakes, this high, failure isn't an option. Because if they fail, the freedom of the entire world might just be in jeopardy.

From USA Today Bestselling author Mary Alford comes a brand new series entitled Courage Under Fire.

Be sure to read all the stories in the series :  

Distant Thunder - See how the conspiracy first began
Storm Warnings - Prequel to Book One
Strike Force – Book One
Zero Visibility – Book Two
Thin Ice – Book Three
Chinook Winds – Book Four

My thoughts on the book:

Oh my goodness. this book had me on the edge of my seat and I did not want to put it down. The one question that had me asking the whole book was how deep does Legion go? and will they ever get caught. I really loved Piper she felt beat down but never seem to give up she wanted to keep fighting and trying to save as many people as she could. Reed was a gentle soul but continued the fight with Piper and ever sometime would try and get her step back but she kept fighting which really added to the story because no matter what they faced they did it together. I loved the Strike force team I have my thoughts on one member but I don't want to ruin it. So read it and tell me if you think you might know who I'm talking about. This book is a good clean read and you can't go wrong.

My One and Only Cowboy A.J. Pine -Meadow Valley #1


Description:

From this "fabulous storyteller" (Carolyn Brown, New York Times bestselling author) comes the first book in an all-new western romance series.
Delaney Harper thought she'd seen the last of Meadow Valley two years ago after she divorced her lying, cheating, gambler of a husband who left her broken-hearted and, well, just flat broke. But news that her ex sold their property---without legally removing her from the deed---means heading back to claim her share of the land---and possibly her dream.

Sam Callahan, co-owner of the Meadow Valley guest ranch, is barely keeping his head above water. He bought the land for a steal, but keeping a new business afloat is another story. When a gorgeous blonde barges onto his property on a quiet Friday afternoon insisting he bought the place in a fraudulent sale---and that she's there to prove she still owns half the land---Sam realizes he's got much more to worry about. He could lose everything---including his heart.

My thoughts on the book:
This book was not for me, I had a hard time just getting into it. I really did like Delaney and her take no prisoners and her independent attitude. I was not huge fan of Sam he came off as whinny. I felt like a lot of the book dragged. I did like Ben he was fun to read about and I liked Scout too. This book does have sex and adult Lagrange thought out so may not be suitable for all readers. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

The Chill of an Early Fall Mary Alford- Amish Mountain Secrets Book 1



Description:

A STALKER IN AMISH COUNTRY

An act of rejection drove Sadie Eicher away from her St. Ignatius Amish Community at seventeen. Now, a stalker’s threats force her to return to her Amish roots. 

When she first received the dozen red roses, Sadie thought it was a mistake. Until her stalker breaks into her apartment in Billings, Montana, and leaves a chilling message that takes away all doubt and sends her fleeing for her life. 

The moment Elam Beiler comes face to face with a terrified Sadie, two things become crystal clear. She is running away from something very bad, and he’s still as crazy about her as he was the day she left. 

Can Elam help Sadie unravel the truth behind a stalker’s obsession before she becomes his next victim? And if he does, will he lose Sadie forever when she leaves the way of life he can’t imagine walking away from.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Mary Alford comes a brand new Amish Suspense series that will take you to the stunning vistas of the Mission Mountains of Montana where even in the quiet St. Ignatius Amish Community, danger and intrigue lurks!

My thoughts on the book:

In most amish book is always about the good and how they struggle with something in their life styles or leaving the religion. In this book the author took you for a twist and turn, super twisted for sure, but very realistic. I really liked Sadie, and her Mom they were both very stubborn and strong willed but very out spoken and they author made you feel like you were catching up with friends. I wish Elam would have been a little bit more spoken but he and his brother hands down had hearts of gold and would do anything for those they love. This book was a quit read and you really can't go wrong with this book.

Seconds to Live Susan Sleeman- Homeland Heroes #1



Description:

When cybercriminals hack into the US Marshals' Witness Protection database and auction off witnesses' personal details to the highest bidders, the RED Team led by FBI Agent Sean Nichols begins a high-stakes chase to find the hacker. But before he can even get started, the first witness is targeted and barely escapes with her life. Sean believes Phantom, an obsessed hacker who previously outwitted the top minds in the field, is behind the attack, and Sean needs this witness's help, as she's the person who has come closest to discovering Phantom's identity. 

Trouble is, she's a witness under the care of US Marshal Taylor Mills, and Sean is reluctant to work with the captivating marshal who knows his deepest secrets. But Phantom claims he knows where the witness is hiding and will kill her, so to stop the hacker, Sean and Taylor must work through their personal pain and learn to trust each other. . . . The seconds are ticking down before someone dies.


My thoughts on the book:

I can honestly say I am ready for the next book I want to know what's the team is up to next. I found Dustee had her moments sometimes she acted like a child and other times like the adult she is, she kind of was borderline annoying. The author did a good job keeping you guessing and wondering what was going to happen next. That being said there was a part towards the end that kind of dragged for a chapter or two but over all I found the book hard to put down. I was not a fan of the epilogue I won't give the reason why as it will ruin what happens in the book. I will say that this is a clean read and there is so much suspense you will want to finish it in one setting just to find out what happened. I would totally recommend this book and I really can't wait to read more about what's happening next with the Montgomery Three. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion
