The Cowboy's Claim Sinclair Jayne

   

Description:

“No strings,” he said….

Ex-special forces soldier and military dog handler Calhoun Miller is lucky to be alive. He wouldn’t even be in Marietta but for a vow he made to his fallen team leader to solve a mystery that spans decades. Spending a sexy, magical night with a beautiful woman isn’t part of the plan, but he’s never felt more compelled to seize the moment. And then a freak accident hospitalizes him, risking his mission to honor his friend.

As if returning to her hometown of Marietta isn’t awkward enough, hospitalist Dr. Jory Quinn is blindsided when her sexy, anonymous hookup becomes her patient, possibly derailing her career. She begs him to keep their secret, but when Calhoun reveals he’s in town to solve the long ago disappearance of her father and brother, keeping her distance, hands, and secrets to herself is beyond challenging.

Not to mention she might be…pregnant?

My Review:

I have read this whole series so I was excited to get my hands on this one for sure. I will say I was happy to see this one came with a bit of a suspense/mystery to it, it felt right. I like Calhoun he was a bit of a softy and not really a tough guy but with the situations in the book it just made sense. Jory was a tough nut, she was someone who had walls built so high it was going to take someone softer to break those walls down and let her see the love she deserved. They just complimented each other so much. I was also glad to catch up with the others from the series and see where they were in life. This book does contain sex content so may not be suitable for all. Overall I would say this was a fun book to read and the author did a good job keeping you guessing with what was really going on.

Beneath Copper Falls Colleen Coble- Rock Harbor #6

Description:

Dana has already learned that love isn’t safe . . . but could it be different in Rock Harbor? 

As a 911 dispatcher, Dana Newell takes pride in being calm in tough circumstances. In addition to her emotionally-charged career, she’s faced enough emergencies in her own life. She recently escaped her abusive fiancé to move to tranquil Rock Harbor where she hopes life will be more peaceful.

But the idyllic town hides more danger and secrets than it first appeared. Dana is continually drawn to her new friend Boone, who has scars inside and out. Then she answers a call at her job only to hear a friend’s desperate screams on the other end. Soon the pain in her past collides with the mysteries of her new home—and threatens to keep her from the future she’s always wanted.

My thoughts on the book:

Dana has decided after dating a man who is not safe any longer maybe it would be better if she moved home this way she could be close to her friends and family and maybe they could help her. She never expected there to be more danger and secrets to uncover then when she came home and things start to reveal them self and she started to question what was really going on. Can she stay safe or is there more then meet the eye in this small town she called home once? Boone, is broken and scarred inside and out and he knows if he will ever find happiness again he needs to learn to let it go. But when he looses someone close to him and then his past seems to just come face to face with him he wonders what can happen next. When he seeks to help protect Dana he starts to wonder is there more then meets the eye with the world he had held so much anger towards?

OH MY GOODNESS, I just can't with this book. Literally from page one to the last page you are left guessing what the author is going to throw at you next and it keeps you on the edge of your seat for sure. The author has a way of sucking you in and then all of a sudden the book is over with. Wow just wow. I really enjoyed this book and wanted so much more from this story about these two. I am hoping they will appear in cameos in another book. (Its not a cliff hanger ending but you just get sucked into this book you are left wanting more.) I loved while this is a mystery the author kept the book good, clean and fun. I really enjoyed the biblical aspect of it as well. While Dana was trying to face a dangerous situation she was trying to get here heart right with God and see his handy work in whatever she faced on a day to day bases, and that seems to matter most. I enjoyed how Boone was broken he didn't come off as "whinny" but came off as a broken man looking for healing. If you want a book that will keep you guessing with every page turn seriously grab this book you will not regret it

Devoted Defender, Rachel Dylan (Danger in the Deep South #2)

Description:
Danger in the Deep South #2
Personal Chef Annie Thomas thought she’d finally found a safe haven from her past. But when her boss is shot in cold blood leaving her as the only witness, she’s forced to go on the run—again. And this time there is an even bigger target on her back.

When hiding is no longer an option and threats surround them, will Caleb be the devoted defender Annie needs with her life on the line?


My thoughts on the book:

Annie just saw her boss killed and now she is on the run something she learned in the past is to trust no cops, and now she wondering who she can trust and if they will find her who ever they are. 
Caleb enjoys being a cop in a small town but he is all to aware that just because his town is small there is not bad things happening but he is going to do his darnedest to keep it safe. But when Annie comes speeding into his life he know he needs to protect her weather she likes it or not.

OH MY Goodness I loved this book hands down. Rachel doesn't disappoint at all. She has once again knocked it out of the park with this book. I Love reading her books it really is easy to get completely lost in her books, including this one. I think the only negative thing I would have to say is I wish her books were much longer. If you have never read anything by her check this series out especially if you like Christian authors like Dee Henderson, Dani Pettrey or even Terri Blackstock all these women are just amazing and I know that Rachel will not disappoint you either. Her books are on the small scale but you could totally know them out in one setting just needing to know whats going to happen next.

Must Love Wieners, Casey Griffin Rescue Dog Romance series

Description:
LOVE—UNLEASHED. . .
First in a wickedly funny new series brimming with mystery and romance!
Piper Summers works like a dog juggling three jobs to put herself through veterinary school—driving taxis, delivering pizzas, and singing telegrams. Thankfully, Piper has her devoted dachshund Colin to help her keep things in line. That is, until she gets fired...and someone throws her a bone that is too good to resist.
Aiden Caldwell is an Armani ad come to life—a billionaire CEO who’s just adopted a dachshund from the rescue center where Piper volunteers. He’s hot on Piper’s tail to be his personal dog walker...but he may be after more than a walker for his wiener. The gorgeous, spirited Piper is everything he’s ever wanted from a woman—and more. But can Piper ever love, and trust, a man who has never learned to open his heart—or has she bitten off more than she can chew?

Must Love Wieners is the first book in Casey Griffin's Rescue Dog Romance series!

My thoughts on the book:

Piper Summer has so much going on she doesn't know whats going to have to give but she knows something has to give soon. When she is sent out to a job to sing for a CEO of a company it quickly becomes that things are about to go as not planned and she doesn't know what to do next. She does know she has a few people to avoid for just another few weeks, but will she be able to or will others have plans and she just seems to be the target of those plans.
Aiden just adopted Sophia and needs a dog walker and he needs to convince Piper she is the one that needs to do the job. But will he be able to keep her at arms length and everything business or will something target both of them forcing more things in both there past to come out?

I found this book very tongue and cheek, very much like the title of the book. At first I was looking forward to the the back and forth of the characters however that was just me assuming that would take place. The book is totally from Piper's point of view but trust me when I say you won't be disappointed. The book has some twist and turns in it while at some points you want to smack Piper for your choices you quickly realize there in an under laying story going on and you just need to keep reading to find out whats going to happen next. I was slightly disappointed not knowing the side of the story from Aiden's point of view however when the book is over you quickly see why the author chose not to go that route and I was glad, it truly made the book hard to put down and I found it keeps you drawn into the book wanting to know what was going to happen next. 
There is some adult language.

Medical Judgement, Richard L. Mabry, M.D.

What's the book about:

Someone is after Dr. Sarah Gordon. They’ve stalked her and set a fire at her home. Trying to recover from the traumatic deaths of her husband and infant daughter is tough enough, but she has no idea what will come next. Her late husband’s best friend and a recovering alcoholic detective are trying to solve the mystery before it’s too late, but both appear to be vying for her affection as well. Sarah finds herself in constant fear as the process plays out.
As the threats on her life continue to escalate, so do the questions: Who is doing this? Why are they after her? And with her only help being unreliable suitors in competition with each other, whom can she really trust?

My thoughts on the book:

Sarah has lost it all her husband and daughter and she feels like she has lost herself. When someone sets out to destroy her, she starts to wonder what God has in store for her and if she will survive it or will she have to keep fighting the unknown. She also is starting to wonder if she is sending off the wrong signal to men because she just doesn't feel like something is right and her husbands best friend Kyle seems to want to take things further then she's ready and now she wondering who can she trust now that someone is set to torcher her. Will she get to the bottom or will she end up hurt or maybe dead?
    This book was amazing, its not a love story at all. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat and just when you think you have it figured out it throws something else at you. I really enjoyed this book its the first one I have read from this author and I must say I am not a fan of male authors there always seems to be some sort of disconnect in the stories I have read and this was not the case this story just was so amazing and well written I could not find one thing wrong with it that I didn't like. I liked how the author made the focus around Sarah but had other characters in the book who had struggles that added to her story. This book will keep you guessing all the way to the end even when you think you have it figured out be prepared for some twist and turns.

Traces of Guilt Dee Henderson Evie Blackwell Cold case #1

What's the book about:
Evie Blackwell loves her life as an Illinois State Police Detective . . . mostly. She's very skilled at investigations and has steadily moved up through the ranks. She would like to find Mr. Right, but she has a hard time imagining how marriage could work, considering the demands of her job. 

Gabriel Thane is a lifetime resident of Carin County and now its sheriff, a job he loves. Gabe is committed to upholding the law and cares deeply for the residents he's sworn to protect. He too would like to find a lifetime companion, a marriage like his parents have.

When Evie arrives in Carin, Illinois, it's to help launch a new task force dedicated to reexamining unsolved crimes across the state. Spearheading this trial run, Evie will work with the sheriff's department on a couple of its most troubling missing-persons cases. As she reexamines old evidence to pull out a few tenuous new leads, she unearths a surprising connection . . . possibly to a third cold case. Evie's determined to solve the cases before she leaves Carin County, and Sheriff Thane, along with his family, will be key to those answers.

My thoughts on the book:
There are quiet a few characters in this book they all play a part heres my thoughts. 

•           Gabriel: Has a heart of gold he loves living in his home city he's the sheriff an has a few cases that have gone cold and is all to happy to have someone take a look at them and he will do just about anything to protect those in his city, even if that means digging into peoples lives that would rather have things hidden. He is also told some secrets that will affect his family and he knows he needs to keep a close eye out and protect them as well. But will he be able to do it all.
•       Evie: She has a easy detachment from her cases but can easily find a way to connect and hope to find a way to solve every case. When she finds out that the soon to be Governor is leading a group to close cases in her state she sets out to prove she is good enough to be on that team. She uses her vacation to take on two cases. But will she be able to solve the case and keep everyone at arms length or will she in the end have to walk away and leave the case cold?
•       Will and Karen:Even though Will and Karen play a small part in the book its still there. They both have secrets in there past and each wondering if it will destroy them?
•       Josh and Grace: Josh has always loved Grace since they were kids. When Ann asks for a favor and it involves letting Grace back in his life he is determined to do whatever it is no matter the cost. But will it destroy them both or will he have a chance to get the first and only love back?
• Ann and Paul: Ann and Paul from the book have a pretty big role in this book they were fun to catch up with and see whats happening in there lives.

          

  This book was hard to put down from the beginning I was on the edge of my seat the whole time needing to know what is happening. There is a lot of speculation in the book just like any missing person or cold case and you find yourself trying to find out before they figure it out, it reminds me of the show Disappeared. There are a lot of moving parts in the book and switch between a the key players listed above but Dee has done a good job starting each section with who its about, it really did not seem hard to keep up as each had something to do at the time and played a key part at that time in the story. There really is not much of a love story here at all, which kind of bummed me out. I think the only thing I did not like about this book is the end. I am not sure if there will be more books in this series but I have a feeling that there is still more to be told and I will say the end leaves you wanting more. If you are looking for a book that you can't put down then this is the book for you but just know this is not a typical book of Dee Henderson's that I have ever read in the past.

Step By Step Candace Calvert

What's the book about:
Three years after a tragic accident left her a widow, ER nurse Taylor Cabot is determined to move on, checking off one item after another on her survival list. Her relationship with a handsome plastic surgeon even gives her hope for the last point―“fall in love again.” At least until crisis chaplain Seth Donovan steps back into her life, reawakening unanswered questions about her husband’s death.

While in San Diego to train community volunteers, Seth hopes to learn why Taylor is backing away from the crisis team and from their friendship. But nothing prepares him for the feelings that arise when he sees Taylor again . . . and sees her moving on with another man.

When a community crisis hits home and puts lives at risk, emotions run high and buried truths are unearthed. Will hope make the survival list?

My thoughts on the book:
After loosing her husband Taylor decides its time for change and she knows the change needs to start with her and right away. She moves to San Diego, is closer to family and is on the right track to moving forward. She is facing some set backs and when some news about her husband is dropped in her lap she now feels like will she ever be able to move forward, because its starting to feel as those close to her may have betrayed her. Seth is sent to San Diego for training and knows he needs to find out what is really going on in Taylor's life he knows he wants to help her but he's not really sure how. There is also seems to be a point in his past that seems to be catching up with him and he's wondering what the next step will be.
    So in the first book it was very much on the edge of you seat need to know what happens very much a mystery to it, however in this book that was not the case. It was a really good book very very little mystery to it. There was something big that happened in the book and it seems to end leaving you left figuring out what happens, the book does NOT end in a cliffhanger, but it just makes you wonder why that part did not have a finish up. Over all the book was well written and well worth the read, but if you read the first book know its nothing like that its very much a love story with a little bit a mystery to it.

Neighing with Fire Kathryn O'Sullivan (Colleen McCabe Series)

What's the book about:

Fire Chief Colleen McCabe is enjoying a quiet summer and her budding romance with Sheriff Bill Dorman. However, her peaceful start to the tourist season is shattered when a tropical storm blows through Corolla and unearths a body buried under a vacation home boardwalk. When callous land developer Denny Custis dies in a suspicious fire, Colleen has a hunch the two deaths are linked. As she and Bill investigate, they discover that virtually everyone, including Colleen, has had a beef or run-in with Denny and a motive for murder. When Pinky Salvatore becomes the primary suspect, Colleen is determined to clear his name. Despite his and Denny's well-documented housing development rivalry, Colleen is convinced that the real killer is still out there. While digging through an ever-widening list of suspects, Bill and Colleen become embroiled in a vicious battle between those committed to saving Corolla's wild horses, those protecting the endangered piping plover shore bird, and a greedy tour company who would destroy their habitats.

Neighing with Fire is the third entry in Kathryn O'Sullivan's cozy series known for its colorful characters, strong setting and thoroughly charming humor.

My thoughts on the book:
Scandal rocks the small town of Corolla and now its Colleen and Bills job to find out what in the heck is happening to there small and peaceful town. In the mean time they have a new "relationship" if you want to call it that, that they are working and discovering. Bill is trying to find out who killed Denny all the while keeping his jealousy intact. Colleen is just set out to figure out whats going on between her and Bill so she can put a name to it finally and all the while find out who is setting fires and killing people, all while putting her self in harms way or is she?
I have not read the other books in the series it didn't take long to follow the story though. I would not say there was a whole lot of romance in this book there was a little but what draws you into this book is the mystery, and trying to find out what happens next. This book took me less the a day to read as it was a real page turner and you find it hard to put down because you really want to know whats going to happen. I would say if you are looking for a good decent book with not a lot of "romance" but a well written story line then this is the book for you.

A Stitch in Crime Cathy Elliott

What's the book about:

Thea James has accepted an assignment as co-chairperson for Larkindale’s first quilt show extravaganza. Juggling the new assignment with running her antique business, she’s already feeling frayed when things start to unravel.
Mary-Alice Wentworth, a much-loved town matriarch, respected quilt judge, and Thea’s dear friend, is covertly conked on the head during the kick-off Quilt Show Soiree, throwing suspicion on her guests. It also appears that a valuable diamond brooch has been stolen during the attack. The family is furious. But is it because of their mugged mother or the missing diamonds?

When a renowned textile expert goes MIA and the famous Wentworth heritage quilt disappears, Larkindale’s reputation as a tourist haven is at risk. Thea attempts to piece the mystery together and save the town’s investment in the quilt show before Mary-Alice is attacked again . . . with far worse results.
 

My thoughts on the book:

Thea is the co- chair for the up and coming quilt event, she didn’t expect it to be too much work but it seems like everything has fallen on her. At every corner everything seems to be falling apart, and she can’t figure out how to keep her head in the game and keep this event falling apart before it even takes off.

So I have to say that I expected this book to be on the edge of your seat type of book something to keep you guessing. I have to say for me that was not the case the book seemed very predictable from the beginning and I kept wanting to keep reading in hopes the book would get there. I wanted to have more interaction with Thea and Cole also in the book. The ending tied everything up just in case you hadn’t tied it all together, I did however feel it left you hanging at the end with one thing. Over all I will say the book was a decent read and will keep your attention from the beginning to end. Once I started I did have a hard time putting it down. If you have read other quilt of loves books this will be worth your time to read this one. If you have not this book is still worth the read, the storyline is well written.

She is still fighting inner demons when circumstances force her into hiding with the one man she's desperately trying to avoid: sinfully handsome, confirmed bachelor, Blake Harrington.

Trail of Guilt is a contemporary story with a tantalizing blend of romance, intrigue and suspense.

My thoughts on the book:

Ok I have never read anything by Rebecca Tust, but I will say after reading this book I will be buying more of her books. This book is about a girl who has been stalked and now she has a friend who it appears to be going through something very similar. While Chelsea is living with the after effects of being attacked with her best friend she has guilt over putting her best friend into a situation that gets them both attacked. Blake who comes in to convince Chelsea she is causing alot of issues avoiding everyone. Blake celebrates his birthday and convinces his friends to come out for the day of fun that saturday, when all hell brakes loose. This book doesn't have a slow part in it. I thought at one point it was coming to and end only to be so wrong. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and you will not want to put it down. I did not know that this was part of a series and now I am wanting to go back and read book one, I will say that you will catch up with some of what happeneded in this book but I would recommend read book one so you are not left with a few questions.
I will say at first I though oh man there are to many characters in this book its going to be hard to keep up with every one and everything going one, boy was I wrong the author did an amazing job with this storyline and you will not go wrong with this book.
