Surprising!

Revisado: 12-24-24

Like all the books in this series, this was very good. It will be on my reread list. Flynn and his teammates were kidnapped and forced to undergo DNA enhancement, making them next-level soldiers. They now own a security company headquartered in Flynn’s hometown so he can oversee his mother’s care for dementia. When Carina comes to serve as his mom’s nurse, Flynn and Carina immediately feel the sparks flying. There are a lot of twists as the two navigate persistent exes, neighborhood thugs, a deadly mercenary, and even a biker gang. Along the way Flynn betrays Carina and their future is suddenly tanked. The author deftly weaves a riveting tale that will have you rooting for the couple even as you want to smack… any number of people, including Flynn. Recommended reading!

Just a lovely book!

Revisado: 04-16-23

Ryan is divorced with two young teens and an ex-wife who is a constant thorn. He wants to find someone but thinks his life is too busy. Then he realizes the new doctor in town, Judith, is the sister of his high school best friend. There was attraction then, but it couldn’t go anywhere; you’ll find out why. Their romance has ups and downs, and a scary series of events happen, including murder as well as attempted murder of Judith. It’s an engaging, lovely read with a strong storyline w/o heavy angst. I highly recommend!

Different but just as good!

Revisado: 12-06-22

Ace and his SEAL team slip into a war-torn country to rescue a well-connected Peace Corps worker. They end up rescuing a friend of the worker, Piper, and three young orphans she had saved. Piper sees the horrible situation the girls would be in if they were left behind, so she and Ace marry to facilitate the adoption There is clear chemistry before they marry and they both intend the marriage to last. So a lot of the romance is after they marry. Not a lot of tension in the romance, but it’s sweet and spicy and enjoyable to see the couple build their bond. There are some tense twists and turns that keep things going. Recommended. It will definitely be on my reread shelf.

A sweet, engaging story

Revisado: 01-01-20

Karen Hawkins brings her signature humor and story-weaving talents to this sweet tale of a town in crisis. I love the underlying premise: Books know who needs them, and let librarian Sarah know so she can get them where they need to go. There really isn’t a villain, just assorted crises they work through. I look forward to returning to Dove Pond as this series continues. Definitely worth a credit, because I know I will be rereading this more than once.

Exciting, sad, sweet

The latest outing of Amos Decker hits all the buttons. It’s a tangled tale that reminds me of my own Appalachian hometown, which has many similar problems. Well worth a credit. The narration is likewise very well done by both voice actors.

Well worth my time

Revisado: 04-25-18

This is a complex story well told. The premise - testing new drugs on the military - is all too plausible. The lead character, Jack Reece, is relatable and likable even as he moves from deep heartbreak to extreme violence. An excellent debut. I hope to see Reece again.

Another fine story

Revisado: 01-10-18

This book is fast paced, intriguing, and definitely worth my money. I have been a fan of Krentz for a long time, in all her genres. This book does not disappoint. Cabot and Victoria were both rescued from a cult when they were children when the cult leader set a fire that killed their mothers and others. Now as adults, they meet to investigate whether one of the last old survivors of the erstwhile cult was murdered or committed suicide. I definitely didn’t see some of the twists coming. This is the second of a series of connected books, and the last chapter sets up the next one, but not in an annoying way. I am looking forward to the next book, and I know I will reread the whole series again in the future.

Well worth the time

Revisado: 01-28-17

This book is a rich mix of history, adventure, anthropology, and epidemiology. It tells the story of a group of mostly Americans on a harrowing trip to be the first non-Hondurans to see the Lost City of the Monkey God, buried deep in a thick and dangerous rainforest. I enjoyed all the side paths Preston took, but be aware the story of the trip is maybe half the book. I will listen to it again, I know. The only drawback is the reader. He is clear with good expression, but always sounds a little hushed like he doesn't want to disturb someone in the next room.

Wonderful book!

Revisado: 10-09-16

I read a lot of books about crime investigation and forensics, as well as true crime and crime fiction. This book is a good overview of modern forensics by a top crime fiction writer, and well worth your time and money. You should also check out McDermid's fiction, which is likewise excellent.

Another homerun!

Revisado: 09-29-16

I love Linda Howard's books. She rarely disappoints. This book is an intense story with strong characters and solid plot. Even though I had read it before, I was up all night listening until I finally fell asleep at 5 a.m Juat finished it. Good thing I don't have to work today!
