Canyon of Deceit Diann Mills


   
 Description:
A rescue team searches for a missing young girl and suspects all is not as it seems in this high-stakes romantic suspense novel from the author of Lethal Standoff and Facing the Enemy.

When wilderness survival expert Therese Palmer receives a frantic phone call from former colleague Professor Rurik Ivanov, she is shocked by the news that his young daughter, Alina, is missing—and that Rurik wants Therese’s help finding her. She’s sure Rurik hasn’t given her the whole story . . . especially since he refuses to report the kidnapping to the police. Yet with a child’s life hanging in the balance, Therese can’t turn down this mission. She knows the clock is ticking and she can’t do this alone.

Therese reaches out to Texas Ranger Blane Gardner, whom she met seven months ago during one of her training courses in wilderness survival skills. Blane’s specialized training and background with the Crisis Negotiation Unit make him uniquely prepared for this search-and-rescue mission. He agrees to help Therese and to accept Rurik’s terms to keep Alina’s disappearance quiet, and as the two begin working together, Therese is determined the spark growing between them won’t distract from their mission to save Alina.

Traversing deep into the desert of Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Alina’s last known location, Therese and Blane struggle to separate truth from lies within the mix of intel they’re receiving. As they close in on answers that suggest the involvement of Russian organized crime and a high-profile international assassination attempt, they must fight to rescue Alina before she becomes an innocent casualty of a much bigger plot—no matter the risk to their own lives.

My Review:
I am never disappointed when I get one of this authors book so I was excited when I grabbed this one. As always its one of book that start strong and I really struggled to put it down it just kept drawing me in. I really liked Blane he was a no non-sense kind of guy who tried to keep things as honest as possible no matter what. I really liked Therese she truly was a fighter, she didn't let anyone push her around. She wasn't in law enforcement but would stop at nothing to help find a child who needed to be found. Overall I like that this author keeps you drawn in till the very end, the author also kept this a clean read. Well worth the read.

Storm Warning Elizabeth Goddard

   
  Description:
"Amnesia, a hero with dangerous ties, and a deadly storm all combine to create a thrilling ride, perfect for devouring in one sitting."--Lynette Eason, bestselling, award-winning author of the Lake City Heroes series

Haunted by a half-forgotten past, former army photographer Remi Grant is working at an isolated storm-watching lodge on the rocky Washington coast when she receives a mysterious puzzle piece. The piece may be the catalyst to unlock a disturbing incident she struggles to remember--the event that sent her into hiding. But with heavy storms rolling in, she must focus on the present, not get caught up in the past.

When a mysterious man at the lodge saves her life--more than once--Remi becomes suspicious and confronts him. After a catastrophic event in his own life, former military pilot Hawk Beckett is trying to get some perspective at the suggestion of his former commanding officer. Faced with the fiercest storm to hit the coast in a decade, Remi and Hawk are forced into survival mode. 

But they're not alone at the lodge. Someone doesn't want Remi to remember what happened--and they will stop at nothing to see her dead.

"Elizabeth Goddard's 
Storm Warning is perfectly named. This book takes readers by storm as her characters face danger not only from outside forces but also from the deadly secrets that rage inside their souls. Secrets that could cost them . . . everything. Highly recommended."--Nancy Mehl, author of the Ryland and St. Clair series

My Review:
This book did not disappoint. I could not put this book down and was up till wee hours trying to finish it because it was just that good. The author hints here and there throughout the book on who the bad  guy is to keep you guessing, One minute you think you have it all figured out and then the next you are wondering who it could be. I really liked Remi while she was dealt a rough situation she handled it with the best head on her shoulders and not wanted to get those close to her hurt. Hawk was a man of mystery he try to keep things close to the vest but also trusted those who he thought had his best interest at heart. They both sought answers to things going south in their lives and hoped to each help each other find those answers. This book will keep you going and was well worth the read.

Serial Burn Lynette Eason

 
  
 Description:
She's out for justice. But the arsonist she's tracking is out for retribution. 

Now the fire marshal of Lake City, Jesslyn McCormick is determined to find the person who started the fire that robbed her of her family when she was just seven years old. As the twentieth anniversary of the tragedy approaches, a string of fires--including at Jesslyn's church--brings up all those old feelings and offers new evidence.

Because church fires are considered a hate crime, FBI Special Agent Nathan Carlisle is called in to work with local law enforcement. Nathan has his own past--one he'd prefer not to revisit. And focusing on helping Jesslyn track down the arsonist is a great distraction.

As both the case and the chemistry between Jesslyn and Nathan heat up, memories will come flooding in from the past to bump up against hopes for the future. And when Jesslyn comes face-to-face with her worst nightmare, she'll have to confront her fears and rely on Nathan and her community of friends in order to survive.

My Review:
I really could not put this book down. This book did not disappoint at all and the whole book I sweat I thought I had it all figured out it could only be the person I guessed right, Wrong. The author keeps you guessing and then when we finally revels I am like no way I did not see that coming!!! I liked how the author did not finish the book on a cliff hanger or leave you trying to figure out what happens :"next". I really like Jesslyn and her friends they all had each others backs and when one was faced with something everyone would rally around and help out anyway they can. I liked Nathan he really faced some really tough situations and he didn't let that hold him back trying to help those out and trying to heal. There was a situation between Nathan and his brother Eli, while I have see other authors try and approach this subject lightly this author took it head and did not sugar coat it. Its something people deal with all the time and it was nice to see her address it from a christian aspect with out a whole lot of judgement coming off the pages. Overall I would recommend this book to just about any one there are tough topics but it will keep you on the edge of your seat and its well worth the read.

My Review:

What a way to end a series, I have really enjoyed this series so far so I was excited to get my hands on this final book. Jade she took nothing from no one she was a fighter and had no problem going toe to toe with anyone including Crispin. Crispin was beaten to an inch of death throughout this series but kept bouncing back to bring justice to those who sought out to do harm to the country he loved, the people he loved and those who he didn't even know but wanted to protect. I feel like with Jade, Crispin met his match and there was no way he would get away with anything he had in the past. Overall this was a book I could not put down and had me guessing what was going to happen next till the very end. This book was well worth the read!

One Wrong Move Dani Pettrey


   
 Description:
Taunting riddles.
A deadly string of heists. 
Two broken hearts trapped in a killer's game.

Christian O'Brady was pulled into a life of crime at a young age by his con artist parents. Now making amends for his corrupt past, he has become one of the country's foremost security experts. When a string of Southwestern art heists targets one of the galleries Christian secured, he is paired up with a gifted insurance investigator who has her own checkered past.

Andi Forester was a brilliant FBI forensic analyst until one of her colleagues destroyed her career, blaming her for mishandling evidence. She now puts those skills to work investigating insurance fraud, and this latest high-stakes case will test her gift to the limit. Drawn deep into a dangerous game with an opponent bent on revenge, Christian and Andi are in a race against the clock to catch him, but the perpetrator's game is far from finished, and one wrong move could be the death of them both.

My Review:
I really enjoy this author so I was super excited about reading this book and it did not disappoint. I really liked this book so much. I could not put it down. I really liked Andi she was unsure of her self due to situations in her life but that did not stop her from seek out what was right and finding out the deadly truth. I really liked her friendship with Harper they seemed more like sisters the friends ready to protect each other at all cost. Christian was a force to be reckon with as well but he also had his siblings to who had his back and he them they were close and would stop at nothing to protect each other. Man oh Man Riley that girl spoke her mind when necessary and did not mix words. Truly this was a story worth reading and I can't wait for more from this group of friends. Grab this book you will not be disappointed

Fatal Witness Patricia Bradley


    
Description:
As a child, artist and potter Dani Bennett witnessed the brutal murder of her parents. With no memory of the incident or her true identity, she was forced to take on a new name and a new life, hidden away in Montana for the past 25 years.

Mae Richmond has spent the same stretch of time searching for her granddaughter, who went missing the night her daughter and son-in-law were murdered. Convinced the woman she saw in a pottery magazine feature is the woman she's been searching for, she enlists the help of K-9 officer Mark Lassiter of Pearl Springs, Tennessee, who tracks Dani down.

Skeptical but curious, Dani sets out on a journey to uncover the secrets of her past and reclaim her true identity. But someone close to her is determined to keep the truth of what happened all those years ago hidden.

My Review:
I like this author a lot I like the suspense of the books I have read from her so I was excited to get the chance to read this one. I will say I liked the story overall, but I felt it was more of a love story with a little suspense sprinkled in here and there then the opposite. I had a hard time getting into it at first but when it did pick up I could not stop reading. I LOVED Nanny Mae that is one women you would not want to mess with. I liked Dani but I felt like the author made her out to be this fragile soul who would just snap and then some one who would take on the world, it just felt all over the place with her. Overall this book was good read and the author kept it clean so it would be suitable for all readers.
