Retribution is one of my favorite concepts. It’s strange, really, because I also believe in unlimited second chances. But retribution, when warranted, offers such a satisfying plotline. And in Melinda Leigh’s fifth Bree Taggert book, Dead Against Her, the retribution is bone chilling. The first chapter opens during a double homicide and is told in…
In G.B. Gordon’s By the Book, a young accountant becomes a target when he stumbles across a money laundering operation, and ends up in the protective custody of a gorgeous FBI agent. Although I suspect some of the procedural elements are off, that’s not unusual for the genre; many movies and TV shows condense or…
Narrated by Kai Rubio I liked the sound of the storyline of Chrysalis, book one in The Formicary duo, so as I’ve enjoyed books by S.E. Harmon in the past and even though the narrator is new-to-me, I decided to give the audiobook version a go. Please be aware that Chrysalis ends inconclusively and that…
Layla Reyne begins a new romantic suspense series with Dead Draw, in which two FBI agents who turn out to be working the same case from different angles enter into a marriage of convenience so that they can continue to work it under the radar after an operation goes badly wrong. MoC is one of…
AAR has reviewed over ninety-two books by Nora Roberts and given most of them high grades. Nightwork is my first time reviewing her in about ten years and I was surprised by how comfortable and familiar her work still feels. Harry Booth started stealing when he was a child. His aunt Mags taught him pick-pocketing…
I know that Kat Martin is a veteran author of dozens of romantic suspense novels, but I haven’t read any of them, so I decided I’d jump in with The Last Mile, a story that promised to combine the excitement and danger of a hunt for lost treasure with a romance between an Indiana Jones-type…
I love Alexandra Ivy’s Pike, Wisconsin series for its old-school suspense, and this standalone third installment is a nail-biter. Unstable is a second-chance romance at heart, and reunites Rachel Fisher and her ex-husband, Zac Evans, whose marriage imploded eight years earlier. But if there’s one thing history (and romantic suspense) teaches us, it’s that the…
Narrated by Gary Furlong The Bridge of Silver Wings and This Other Country are books three and four in John Wiltshire’s More Heat Than the Sun series of thriller/romantic suspense novels following the exploits of Ben Rider, a former SAS operative, and enigmatic (ex) diplomat Sir Nikolas Mikkelsen, two of the most stubborn Alpha Males…
Temporary Partner, the first book in a new series of romantic mysteries from Nicky James, features two rival detectives who team up to solve a missing persons case. It’s a thoroughly entertaining read and I raced through it in a couple of sittings; it’s fast-paced, tightly-plotted and the sexual tension between the two leads is…
I’m an aficionado of creepy house stories, so that was the very first thing I thought of when I saw “Location Location Location” as a prompt. I tried a couple of gothics that didn’t quite do it for me, and then as I combed through my books, I saw Shattered Haven. The mention of a house…
