Booker: Hate City Book Review and Giveaway


NEW RELEASE....
After a life filled with destruction of others and himself, and his body ravaged by disease, there's only one thing left for Javier Calero to do. Leave a legacy that will finally bring meaning to his life—and to the death of an American president more than fifty years ago.

The CEO of a green energy company is murdered behind his million-dollar estate, his neck nearly severed in two. Recruited to aid the widow and find a savage killer, Booker finds himself in the middle of a family train wreck.

Days later, thrust into the crossfire of a deadly sniper, Booker eludes sure death with the uncanny arrival of a young woman who only wants to save her father from harm. But she can't do it without Booker's help.

Joining forces with a Latin spitfire, Booker and his new sidekick, Maggie, embark on a twenty-four-hour quest to hunt down a killer determined to make an indelible mark on history—just like the one that struck down John F. Kennedy a half-century earlier, which launched a cascade of assassination investigations and theories.

BOOKER - Hate City weaves a historic tale of thrills and suspense, examining the justifications of the unjustifiable.

My thoughts:

While I've always really enjoyed the Booker series, this is by far my favorite book so far!

Booker is given a case of missing JFK memorabilia, and soon finds himself with an additional murder to solve. But when a second person is murdered the same way with absolutely no connection between the victims, Booker is thrown into a mystery that spans decades.

Historical mysteries and subterfuge mix with modern day theft and murder to make for a gripping story! I loved the historical references (and learning different theories about JFK's murder).

Maggie was a refreshing addition to the story, and I love that she spent the book trying to stop her father, even if it meant spending the rest of his life behind bars.

I was so wrapped up in Mr. Mefford's characters that I was finding myself getting mad at Justin for the choices he was making with the bar!

This is definitely a great story, and I can't wait for the next in the series.

Booker: Streets of Mayhem (Booker #1)
On a cool October afternoon, the majestic blue sky above Dallas is polluted with swells of gray smoke, carrying shattered memories of fifteen people, mostly children, who've just been killed by an explosion on a bus.

A white supremacist group claims responsibility, opening old wounds, turning neighbor against neighbor--fracturing the community. A Southeast Dallas native, Booker T. Adams couldn't be more invested in the city…in the people he'd served for the last seven years as a beat cop for the Dallas Police Department. Without warning, it becomes personal for Booker on so many levels. And as panic grips the city, he must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice to end the chaos.

With his career called into question and his family in the crosshairs of one terrorist act after another, Booker invests every fiber of his being to protect a broken community, and to stop the brutal, senseless slayings.

If he fails, terrorism will reign in the city of Dallas.

Booker: Tap That (Booker #2)
A performance for the ages.

Courtney Johnson brings the house down in the heart of the vibrant Dallas Arts District. Later, shrills pierce the hallways of Wyle Theater when Courtney, a budding Broadway musical star, is found dead, a single bullet to the head.

Driven to find the killer before panic tears apart the arts community and all those who support it, private investigator Booker T. Adams discovers evidence of a professional hit, then uncovers a lovers ' triangle that takes him all the way to the mean streets of Boston.

And then it happens again. Another performer killed, someone Booker had met. Rocked by the shocking murders, performers and patrons alike fear that a serial killer is on the loose, and no one knows when and or where another dead body will show up.

But professional obligations quickly morph into personal vendettas. Running against an unforgiving clock, Booker is forced to solicit the help of a crime boss, The Shark.

With his life threatened at almost every turn, and his heart being put through a meat grinder, Booker taps into every resource at his disposal to stop more than just a killer.

But at what price?

Full of unforgettable characters, bone-chilling suspense and stunning thrills, BOOKER - Tap That is a wild ride that will test even the most fervent reader's quest for a luminous reading experience.

Cape Cod Kisses Review and Giveaway


NEW SERIES RELEASE....
Love on Rockwell Island is a Brand New Contemporary Romance Series by New York Times & USA bestselling authors Bella Andre & Melissa Foster.

Fall in love on Rockwell Island...Sink your toes into the sandy beaches at the heart of Cape Cod Bay, where family comes first, good friends are around every corner, and true love is waiting beneath the stars.

When Quinn Rockwell left Rockwell Island a decade ago to build a shipping empire, he never thought he’d return to live on Cape Cod Bay—that is, until his grandfather summons Quinn and his four siblings to take over the prestigious Rockwell Resort. Quinn is already working fifteen-hour days, and the last thing he has time for is his grandfather’s demands. But on his first night back, when Quinn finds a gorgeous and carefree woman skinny-dipping in his favorite cove, he’s tempted to ignore his work for a while...and focus on her instead.

As a free spirit who follows her heart and her dreams, Shelley Walters is not the kind of girl to wait around for Mr. Right, so she heads to Rockwell Island for the honeymoon of her dreams—a solo honeymoon. Ready for a week of sun and fun, she never expected to meet a man like Quinn Rockwell.

Wealthy and intensely driven, Quinn is everything Shelley swore she didn’t want. Refreshingly spontaneous and a true romantic, Shelley is everything Quinn never knew he needed. Drawn together despite their differences, during a week of sizzling-hot passion and deep conversations, they fall head over heels for each other. But when their perfect week on the island is over, will their love survive in the real world?

My thoughts:

What a fun island read! I've fallen in love with Rockwell Island, and the inhabitants are amazing! This amazing island is only a 30 minute flight from Boston, yet it's a world apart from the grind of regular life.

When Quinn Rockwell's grandfather summons him and his siblings to the island, they reluctantly return, attempting to run their businesses long distance while dealing with their grandfather's edict.

Shelley Walters has decided she's sick of hearing about everyone's wonderful honeymoons, so she books the honeymoon cottage for herself and hopes for a week of amazing experiences.

They meet on a moonlit night and start a hot, passionate relationship. But can Quinn set aside his workaholic tendencies to enjoy a relationship with a free spirit? Or will love not be enough to keep them together?

Revenge in Paradise Book Review and Giveaway


When a man of questionable character’s corpse is found at The Cottages, beaten to death with Madison’s own gardening tools, she and her partner, Fab, set out to prove that the man’s abused girlfriend did not kill him. Along the way, Madison finds herself behind bars twice, held hostage in a mansion, and running from flying bullets.

There is no shortage of action, suspense, comedy, or romance in this edge-of-your-seat story of two friends with a knack for getting into—and somehow out of—trouble. This time they must answer one question: Who is responsible for getting their Revenge in Paradise?

Revenge in Paradise is the sixth novel in Deborah Brown's Paradise series, which can be also read as a stand alone book.


My thoughts:

I absolutely love this series! Madison and Fab are an amazing pair of women, and the situations that they get themselves in are laugh out loud outrageous!

The plotline starts out simple enough, the abusive boyfriend of Madison's gardener shows up dead in the gardening shed at The Cottages, and their gardener is accused of murder. Of course Madison sets out to prove that she's innocent and pulls Fab along with her.

Like any good Paradise story, Deborah Brown soon has multiple small story lines going at the same time, with lots of action, jail time and hostages.

I'm so happy that Madison and Creole are spicing up their relationship and that Zach is off the radar, because the sparks between these two are off the charts.

This book is a fast paced, fun read that makes you long for the next one!

"I loved the location, the story, and the people so I recommend this book for those who enjoy a good mystery that has a lot of fun as well." 

"I've ready every book in her Paradise Keys --and can't wait for the next one to come out. " 

"So delightfully entertaining this is one story not to be missed!"

About the Author

I've been writing, in one way or another for as long as I can remember; writing poetry, short stories, a romance novel secretly stashed under the bed and sappy love letters. Fiction should be fun. I wanted to create the perfect beach book, to make the reader laugh, cry and cheer... and then run out and tell their friends about it.

My love of reading began when I was seven, the day I opened the cover of my first Mrs. Piggle Wiggle book. Mrs. P gave lessons to other children in how to behave and to me I learned to love the written word. I live with my family and demon children aka rescue cats in South Florida.

Catching Cassidy Review and Giveaway


NEW HARBORSIDE NIGHTS is a sexy, hot, and evocatively real New Adult Romance series that follows a group of friends who have known one another for years as “summer” friends, and now come together after college to build their lives. They’re tough, edgy, and accepting—most of the time. This series is written in the loving, raw, and emotional voice readers have come to love by New York Times & USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Melissa Foster.

Wyatt Armstrong never imagined that instead of celebrating his college graduation, he and his twin sister would be dealing with the death of their parents. Then again, Wyatt had never been one to think past tomorrow. He heads to their summer home in Harborside, Massachusetts, with his best friend Cassidy Lowell in tow, to deal with his parents’ death and to try to figure out his next step.

Six foot two, infuriatingly handsome, and flirtatious, Wyatt Armstrong has always been there for Cassidy, helping her pass her classes and fend off unwanted advances, while driving her insane with his one-night stands—but that’s what best friends are for, isn’t it? Having each other’s backs. There was never any doubt that she would accompany him to his family’s summer home—but she never expected to begin seeing Wyatt as more than a friend. Or has she been ignoring her feelings all along?

It’s impossible to ignore the sizzling heat between them as Wyatt and Cassidy get even closer, but Cassidy knows Wyatt’s past, and she has a real job to begin in the fall. Wyatt may be a sure thing for the summer, but Cassidy needs more. For the first time in his life, Wyatt is forced to look toward the future if he doesn’t want to lose the one woman who’s shared his past and owns his heart.

**CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+**

My thoughts:

I seriously love Melissa Foster's books, and this book definitely doesn't disappoint! Catching Cassidy is book one of the new Harborside Nights series, and Cassidy and Wyatt have a touching story.

Wyatt and Cassidy have been best friends forever, and at college graduation their whole lives are in front of them. Wyatt's parents are killed in a tragic accident and Wyatt and his twin sister Delilah go home to Harborside to mourn and to help run their parents' bar. Cassidy goes with them and soon heat is pouring off of Wyatt and Cassidy.

But is it worth it to potentially destroy a lifelong friendship to try a relationship? Cassidy and Wyatt will have to decide, but in the meantime there's some crazy hot action to enjoy!

Being along for the ride while they're mourning is heartbreaking, but it shows the depth of their friendship and proves that their relationship has a rock solid base.

I love that so many friends and future main characters are introduced in this book, and I can't wait for the rest of the series!

“Catching Cassidy was laugh out loud funny, heartwarming, sexy, and hands down one of my favorite reads so far this year!” — #1 NYT Bestselling Author of The Bet – Rachel Van Dyken
