The Colton 911: Grand Rapids series is part of a wider universe featuring members of the Colton family (who are all military, law enforcement or in some other related profession) who live and work across the US. It’s a multi-author series, in which all the books are supposed to be able to stand ...
The Same Place is book two in Gregory Ashe’s The Lamb and the Lion series about a Utah-based wildlife vet and a con man – an odd couple if ever there was one – who, in The Same Breath, teamed up to solve a murder. Like its predecessor, this book is a perfectly balanced combination of myster ...
April Hunt has written a handful of romantic suspense novels, but I haven’t yet read anything of hers, which is what prompted me to pick up Fatal Deception, book three in her series about the Steele siblings, all of whom are ex-military and who now own and run a private security firm. Before I go ...
I foolishly start every Ashe novel thinking he can’t possibly top his last book. I finish each one and then decide it’s my new favorite. They Told Me I Was Everything is another winner, and the slow burn romance between the principal characters is challenging and frustrating, and wonderful a ...

Kaylea Cross is a popular and prolific author of romantic suspense novels, and I’ve read (and listened to) a few of her books with varying degrees of success – some have worked for me and some haven’t; and unfortunately, her latest release, Lethal Temptation (book two in her Montana-set Rifle ...
In honour of one of the principal characters in this book, I'm going to start this review with some statistics. Gregory Ashe’s The Same Breath is the fifth of his books reviewed in 2020 to get a DIK review (he’s received nine since February 2019). It’s also the eighth book he’s published ...
