Cold Light of Day Elizabeth Goddard

 Description:

Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and even an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.

Grier is in Alaska for the same reason so many others are--to disappear--when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he's not sure even Autumn could save him.

As the stakes rise and the dangers increase, Autumn and Grier must rely on each other to extinguish the deadly threats.

My Review:

I really like this book. Just when you think you have it all figured out the author those in a twist and keeps you guessing. I liked Autumn she was a fighter and would stop at nothing to keep your friends, family and town safe. She truly had everyones best interest at heart. Grier was Mr mystery, I am usually not a huge fan of when an author drags out a mystery of a character however in this case it played out really well. I really enjoyed this book overall and could not put it down well worth the read!!

Stay with Me Becky Wade- Misty River Romance series #1

Description:

A mysterious letter alluding to a secret in her parents' past brings Genevieve Woodward back to her Blue Ridge Mountains hometown, but she's also in need of a break from a high-profile career that has left her dangerously burned out and concealing a powerful secret of her own. When she wakes inside an unfamiliar cottage to find the confused owner staring down at her, she can no longer ignore the fact that she needs help.  

Sam Turner has embraced his sorrow and his identity as an outsider. The solitary, disciplined life he lives on his historic farm is the life he's chosen for himself. The last thing he wants is to rent his cottage to a woman as troubled as she is talkative. Yet, he can't force himself to turn her away right when she needs him most. 

As Genevieve researches her family's history and her and Sam's emotions deepen, they will have to let go of the facades and loneliness they've clung to and allow light to illuminate every hidden truth.

My thoughts on the book:

This book is super powerful, it discusses some very tough subjects. The author also discusses finding forgiveness when life doesn't look so great. I found this book really hard to put down. I liked how the author held nothing back. The characters felt like so relatable and felt like I was catching up with a friend who was going through something. This author does not disappoint the book draws you in keeps you going to the end. I really hope to read more about the Miracle five and I hope that Ben and Sebastian's stories will be coming soon. This book is a good clean read though it does discuss some tough topics it's so worth the read. 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

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.

Greetings from the Flipside Rene Gutteridge, Cheryl McKay

What's the book about:
Hope Landon has been rewriting other people’s greeting cards since she was six years old. There’s always a funnier caption in there somewhere. She’s ready to chase her creative dreams in New York City with her fiancé―until he leaves Hope at the altar.

That may give her something to write about . . .

Hope disappears for the time that would have been the couple’s month-long honeymoon, and upon returning learns of her own funeral. Everyone concluded Hope must have killed herself after being jilted. Needing a fresh start more than ever, she heads for the Big Apple only to discover it isn’t easy to rent a place when you’ve been declared dead.

Taking shelter at the YMCA, Hope lands a job at an inspirational greeting card company assisting Jake, the guy who shut down his organization’s humor department. She has lost her faith in love; he needs to find something or someone that will make him laugh again.

Fun and faithful, Greetings from the Flipside will keep turning over in your mind.

My thoughts on the book:

Hope is sure of one thing she wants out of her small town of Poughkeepsie. She is getting ready to see that dream come true as she walks down the isle, she is also so happy to see another dream come true of moving to New York and becoming a famous greeting card maker. Only problem is that everything changes on a dime and she's not sure where she will find herself next. Jake loves his job he loves designing flower and greeting cards and he knows one thing for sure he will never love again. He is out on a delivery and he can not wait to see his old friend and show her is design, he however finds himself in a situation he never thought would happen. 
I just loved loved loved this book. I really had it read in one seating and it was amazing. It did not disappoint at all.

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.

My thoughts on the book:
Chet is so ready to love his NANA, his boys, God and his ranch when Kimberly crashed into his world he had no idea where it would take him and he really didn't care, he had a broken hearted boys to attend to. Kimberly is broken she on the run from her past (well kind of) she is ready to start a new life in Kings Meadow, well for now anyway and she wants to give her daughter the world she's use to. 
This is love just a love story about 2 people this story was amazingly written and I found it hard to put down. The story starts off great and just gets amazing with each page turned. The love story and the chemistry is also amazing. But as we all know love without end is always a wonderful kind of Love! Get this book you will not regret this amazing story.

The Wedding Cake Tree Melanie Hudson

What's the book about:

Can a mother's secret past provide the answers for a daughter's future? Celebrity photographer Grace Buchanan has always known that, one day, she'd swap her manic day job for the peace and quiet of her beloved childhood cottage, St Christopher's - she just didn't expect it to be so soon. At the reading of her mother's will, she's shocked to learn that she hardly knew Rosamund at all, and that inheriting St Christopher's hangs on one big - and very inconvenient - condition: Grace must drop everything for two weeks and travel the country with a mysterious stranger - war-weary Royal Marine, Alasdair Finn. Caught in a brief but perfect moment in time, Grace and Alasdair walk in Rosamund's footsteps and read her letters at each breathtaking new place. As Grace slowly uncovers the truth about her mother's incredible life story, Alasdair and Grace can't help but question their own futures. Will Rosamund's madcap scheme go to plan or will events take an unexpected turn? An emotional, fun-filled and adventurous journey of a lifetime.

My thoughts on the book:
While Grace is ready to receive her inheritance, she is face with going on a journey one she did not want to go on let alone with someone she didn't know. Alasdair is so caught up in his life an guilt that when he is asked to go on a journey he said yes and now he is wondering if that was the best choice. 
I found the book quite predictable some times and I was ready to just roll my eyes and wanted to book done, but my view to that changed quickly. I really really liked this book. There where a few twisted an turns which kept you wanting to change the pages, so I have to say the book is a page turner and worth the read. I also have to say that the language is not to strong but I would say it would be better for either a older teenager. The author did a good job giving chemistry between the characters even though it was only from a one persons view. You really can not go wrong with this book its worth the read for sure.

The Cinderella Princess Melissa McClone

What's the book about:

Thanks to a philandering father, ad exec Emily Rodgers knows happily ever after doesn’t exist. Relying on a man only leads to heartache. She takes care of herself, and work defines her life. But Emily soon finds herself in the hands of a real-life prince who defines the words charming and sexy. Not to mention reckless. If Prince Lucas doesn’t find a royal bride, Emily’s dream of being named a partner at the advertising firm will die. 

Luc’s fun-loving ways have made him a magnet for scandal. His father gives Luc an ultimatum—find a wife on a reality TV show or be disowned. Rules require him to marry nobility, but after he meets the uptight American sent to find him find a princess bride, his search for Cinderella might be over. Too bad Emily wants nothing to do with him. Perhaps he can show her that fairytale endings can happen in real life…

My thoughts on the book:
Playboy- check, fun-check heart of Gold- what in the world no way that is not something any one who knows Luc would describe him to have. Emily, is hardworking and is ready to be partners when she has one more task at hand or so she thinks.
I LOVED this book the storyline is amazing, its a real pager tuner, I had a hard time putting the book down. While the story is short the storyline is not its amazing and well written for sure. The chemistry with the characters was subtle but was jumping off the pages at every turn, to me that makes not only a great book but a great author to do something so hard but make it look so easy.

His Outback Cowgirl Alissa Callen The Wildflower Ranch Series

What's the book about:

Australian cowgirl, Bridie Willis, travels to Montana to meet her half-brother and to escape the pain of losing her father. Headstrong and determined to live life to the full, she plans to spend the summer photographing wild animals in the back country.

Cowboy, Ethan Morgan, has been shaped by a childhood spent on the run. Cautious, steady and conservative, he must ensure the risk-taking cowgirl he is entrusted to babysit doesn’t come to any harm.

But the biggest challenge Ethan must face is to accept how Bridie makes him feel. And the biggest risk Bridie must take is to trust in her heart.

My thoughts on the book:

Birdie comes to Marietta with her mother and finds out she has a half brother she never knew about. Now she's her in Montana away from the only home she grew up in and has ever know to deal with a loss that has her world falling apart or so she thinks. 
Ethan has a heart of gold but know that is a situation presents its self he has no problem defending and protecting his family. He came to Montana to help his dad he he just found with in the last few years recover from surgery. Now he is put into a situation he seems to not be able to say no to, or will he find loss greater then love? 

I feel like even before the chemistry picks up which you just find yourself falling in love with all the characters. I love the quirkiness of Henry and Birdie. Once the chemistry hits you have no chance you will want to read every page to find out what is going on, not just because of the chemistry but because of the storyline it self. This book is a real page turner for sure.

Christmas in July Debbie Mason

What's the book about:

Grace Flaherty had given up hope of ever seeing her husband again. After all, it'd been over a year since he went missing in combat. So when he strides through the door of her bakery in downtown Christmas one sunny afternoon, she can hardly believe her eyes. But her happily-ever-after is going to take some effort - because Jack has no memory of his family.

All Jack Flaherty remembers about Christmas is that he couldn't wait to leave town. Now he's a local hero with a wife and son he doesn't know. Even as he struggles to rekindle the romance with his wife, he knows in his heart what he wants: a second chance at love.

 

 

 

My Thoughts on the book:

The book starts off really good and stays that way till the end I don't think there is a dull moment in this book, it keeps you wanting more. Right as I thought the book was ending the author would through another curve ball. Over all the story line was well written and very cute. She does a tribute to out men and women who serve and as an American who comes from a military family that means a lot to me. I think that only thing that is different about this book is it seemed like after one crisis was down another happened but if you think about that's how life works its not all fairy tales and everything is perfect, but for some readers you are so use to having everything be so "put together" in a book and in this case I love how the author did not do that, so over all the book was amazing and I cannot wait to read more from this author.

 

I got a free copy of this book from Netgalley for my honest option.

Shaken (Heart of a Warrior series) Kariss Lynch

What the Book is about:

When her world is shaken, will her foundation survive?
Idealistic and sheltered with a passion to change the world, Kaylan Richards leaves her comfortable life in Alabama to serve in poverty-stricken Haiti. Despite her inexperience and the opposition of a voodoo priest, Kaylan develops a love for the country and the Haitian people. But something deadly is about to strike.

It is the worst earthquake the country has ever seen, and in its aftermath bodies, buildings, and broken lives litter the streets. People she cares about are dead, and Kaylan is caught in the middle of the destruction, questioning a God who said He was good.

Navy SEAL Nick Carmichael never planned to find a girl he loved more than his country. Now she is a world away, trapped in a deadly situation nothing could have prepared her for. Can Nick’s love help Kaylan heal and show her the God who never abandoned her, or will tragedy shake even the most rooted faith?

 

 

My Thoughts on the book:

 First off let me start off by saying that the book is broken up into 4 parts and so I wanted to break up my review into the same four parts, however the whole book is just that good I didn't want to do that I feel like I would be taking the book apart to much . In first Kaylan and Sarah Beth(BFF) graduate college a semester early and decide its there turns to take on the world, well at least Hati, so Kaylan has the daunting task of telling her parents her plan, but before that can happen her past has come back and now she is having 2nd thoughts about everything. Her and Sarah have a bond that Kaylan can turn to Sarah as a sister and ask her for anything or help her with anything they are like 2 peas in a pod. I had the hardest time putting this book down it was amazing it keeps you wanting for more and just want to put life on hold for a few hours just to read this book. From the very first page to the very last page the momentum of the story does not stop. This book hand down would get 8 stars if I could give it that. If you are ready to read a book that keeps you wanting more this is your book I would have to say I could easily compare where righting and hold you in the book style to Dee Henderson.I cant think of one negative thing to say about it.

Fools Gold Christmas Susan Mallery

What the Book is about:

 

The unrelenting cheer in Fool's Gold, California, is bringing out the humbug in dancer Evie Stryker. She learned early on that Christmas miracles don't happen, at least not for her. And this year seems like no exception. An injury has forced her to return to the family fold, no matter that they're estranged. She won't add to the awkward scenario by being seduced by the bad-boy charms of her brother's best friend, the last man she should ever want to date. Even when she's recruited to stage the Fool's Gold winter festival, she vows to do as promised, then move forward with her life anywhere but here. Jaded lawyer Dante Jefferson is getting used to the backwater town he now reluctantly calls home, but the pounding of little dancers' feet above his temporary office is more than any man should have to take! When he confronts their gorgeous teacher, he's unprepared for the attraction that sears him down to the soul. Evie is his best friend's sister--off-limits unless he's willing to risk his heart. Dante has always believed that love is the most dangerous force in the universe, but that was before he had to reckon with the magic of a certain small town, where miracles do seem to happen....

 

 

 

 

 

My thoughts on the book:

 

I have to say hands down this is one of my favorite series of books. I love this little town of Fools Gold. In each book the mystery of the mayor just add to it and this book is not different. I love how each time you catch up with characters from past books and each time it only adds to the story. In this one Evie is brought to Fools Gold and she is not happy about it. Why she does everything to fight it in heart and in her soul, she throws herself into dancing which she has always enjoyed. She doesn't want to deal with the issues of her family and with Christmas right on her she starts to realize she may not have a choose.

She finds friendship in Dante who is also fighting his own demons. Dante is also fighting dealing with the town of Fools Gold and decides his only ally is Evie and they become 2 against everyone else. I love everything about these 2 I love how they are friends and there helping each other "out". I had a hard time putting this book down I wanted to find out how it end with these two since for the few books before they each had a small part in them I was so happy to finally hear there stories. This is a story you can not go wrong with it fun, quick read and really good love story to get lost in.

Crazy Little Thing (A Bell Harbor Novel) Tracy Brogan

What the book is about:

If Sadie Turner is good at anything, it’s putting stuff in order. So when she finds her “perfect” life in disarray, she hopes a summer vacation at her aunt’s lake house will help her piece it back together. She wants to relax, reboot, and heal the wounds left by her cheating ex-husband. And that requires time away from men. All men.
Or so she thinks.
With two slobbering dogs and two cousins living there—one a flamboyant decorator intent on making over Sadie—it’s hard to get a moment’s peace at eccentric Aunt Dody’s house, especially with everyone so determined to set her up with Desmond, the sexy new neighbor.
Desmond is Sadie’s worst nightmare. Tall, tanned, muscular…and to top it off, he’s great with her kids. But he must have a flaw—he’s a man—so Sadie vows to keep her distance.
As summer blazes on, the life Sadie is trying so hard to simplify only becomes more complicated—a new career presents itself, her evil ex haunts her, and Aunt Dody reveals a tragic secret—but maybe a little chaos is just what Sadie needs to get her life back in order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Thoughts about the book:

I loved this book it was fun and witty and kept you laughing through the whole thing. I could not wait to find out what was happening. It was lighthearted but also dealt with divorce, affairs homosexuality and so love thrown in to boot. Aunt DO it a riot, I think we all have a family member like her. She is fun, loving, exocentric, but she will love you in spite of herself.  This book will have you laughing so hard at so if you are in public be prepared I was dying laughing at probably the most inappropriate times...lol I hope you enjoy this book it is defiantly with the read hands down (not recommend for young reads for sure). There is some foul language used in this book as well as some adult situations but over all it does not take much from the book.

Second Chances by Rachel R. Vaughn

What its about:

Kate Strickland Ross is small-town attorney seeking election to a local judicial position, who has just discovered that her son Trey has been arrested for armed robbery and attempted murder in a neighboring college town. Although she is highly respected in the small town where she practices law, Kate has an ugly secret that, until now, she has successfully hidden for more than twenty years. Her son’s legal troubles and the sudden exposure of her dark past now threaten to ruin her chances of winning the election and to destroy relationships with the people she loves. Thanks to Wade Anders, a long-time friend to Kate and mentor to her son, she soon discovers that she is the target of an angry young man bent on revenge for misdeeds he believes Kate committed long ago against his deceased mother. It turns out that the vengeance-seeker, Andy, has been insinuating himself into the lives of the Ross family for years as part of a twisted plot to destroy Kate personally and professionally. Andy’s discovery of Kate’s secret gives him an advantage in his attempt to harm her reputation and, in his mind, insanely justifies the criminal rampage he has carried out thus far.

Kate is forced to face her past, along with the consequences it brings, and in doing so she has to unearth the enormous guilt that she has suppressed for decades. In the mean time, Wade, who is in love with Kate, desperately seeks evidence to clear her son’s name, and in the process, discovers that most of the people who have wronged Andy have wound up dead. Alarmed and convinced that Kate’s and Trey’s lives are in danger, Wade soon shockingly finds himself at Andy’s mercy, and he is compelled to reveal a long-held dark secret of his own which could devastate his own relationships with Kate and Trey

My thoughts on the book:

I could easily hands down give this book a four and a half stars out of five. From My understanding this is the authors first book and I think she did not pull out any stops for this book. I can not wait to read more from her. I can tell you this my only disappointment was I wish it was longer. The book keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first few pages. Its a complete page turner and you will be sad when it ends.

As Kate and Wade are both haunted from their past and you find the story being followed by a few people it does not get distracting at all it flows well. When they are forced to face the past there are so many involved it wont be easy to handle it. All the while Andy and Trey are brought together by school or so it seems, Andy has something to hide and it "appears" Trey does too, or does he?

Rachael Vaughn takes each character and gives them real life circumstances and flaws, she does a good job showing that God's grace is for everyone, not just who we think are perfect. A true book about second Chances. I really think that if you are looking for a quick read (should only take a few hours) and a page turn this here is your book. You can not go wrong!!

What's the book about:

Ann Silver is a cop's cop. As the Midwest Homicide Investigator, she is called in to help local law enforcement on the worst of cases, looking for answers to murder. Hers is one of the region's most trusted investigative positions.

Paul Falcon is the FBI's top murder cop in the Midwest. If the victim carried a federal badge or had a security clearance, odds are good Paul and his team see the case file or work the murder.

Their lives intersect when Ann arrives to pass a case off her desk and onto his. A car wreck and a suspicious death offer a lead on a hired shooter he is tracking. Paul isn't expecting to meet someone, the kind that goes on the personal side of the ledger, but Ann Silver has his attention.

The better he gets to know her, the more Paul realizes her job barely scratches the surface of who she is. She knows spies and soldiers and U.S. Marshals, and has written books about them. She is friends with the former Vice President. People with good reason to be cautious about who they let into their lives deeply trust her. Paul wonders just what secrets Ann is keeping, until she shows him the John Doe Killer case file, and he starts to realize just who this lady he is falling in love with really is...

My thoughts on the book:

So if you are like me this is a book that has been a long time in the coming. Dee Henderson has written the O'Malley series and then a few other books. SO when I found out that she was releasing another book I could not be more happy, I was so happy when I was offered to read an advanced reader copy. So when I got the book in the mail I did not mind a second to stop what I was reading and start reading this book
   At first because it has been so many years it took me a sec to connect this book with catching up on some of her characters from her other books, which I loved. I can honestly say there where 2 days I really did not want to go to work so that I could just finally finish this book. It starts off fast and keeps going. I liked how through out the book no one part was rushed but the story was well told. As the characters are struggling with there "demons" and some even come back to haunt them in the book there story doesn't take away from the main story line in the book.I am not trying to be to wishy washy with the story line but if you are an avid reader as I am I hate when people start to tell you about a book and it ruins it. I can tell you this is you have read Dee's other book this book as her others will not let you down.
