No Stone Unturned by Andrea Kane

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

No Stone Unturned by Andrea Kane was an interesting book but not one that I would want to read again.  I believe that I had read one other book by this author and in this series. This another one where you won’t be lost if you only read this book but like I said before if you want to read the entire series I would start with the first book so nothing gets ruined in later books.  When I read books like this one I always wonder if things like this actually happen in the real-world or if companies like Forensic Instincts really exist in our world today. I did really enjoy this author’s writing and I was sad when the book ended because I really did enjoy these characters and I began to think of them as real people that are alive someone in the United States.  This book wasn’t super suspenseful but it did keep me reading the book until I was finished with it. I also didn’t figure out who had killed Rose until the end of the book which was also a good thing because that doesn’t always happen when it comes to books that I am reading because at this point I have read some many books I am usually able to figure out who killed the person pretty early on.

WHAT IF YOU FOUND YOUR FRIEND DEAD AND FEARED YOU’D BE NEXT?

Jewelry designer Fiona McKay is working on her latest collection of Celtic-inspired jewelry. She’s excited by the possibilities uncovered by Rose Flaherty, the antiquities dealer helping her research the heirloom tapestries inspiring her new collection. So when Rose calls to tell her she has answers, Fiona hurries to meet her. But her artistic world is shattered when she finds the lifeless body of the elderly woman.

Why would anyone kill such a harmless person? And what if Fiona had arrived just a few minutes earlier? Would she have been killed as well? Unnerved, she heads for her brother’s Brooklyn apartment seeking advice and comfort.

Ryan McKay, Forensic Instincts’ technology wiz is not amused by his little sister interrupting his evening with his girlfriend and co-worker, Claire Hedgleigh. But when Ryan and Claire hear the details of Rose’s murder, they fear that Fiona could be next, and quickly assume the role of her protectors. What they’re unaware of is how many people are desperately seeking the information now buried along with Rose.

A former IRA sniper. A traitorous killer who worked for the British. Two vicious adversaries taking their epic battle to America. A secret Irish hoard as the grand prize in a winner takes all fight to the death.

As the story woven into the tapestries passed down from McKay mother to daughter unravels, Forensic Instincts realizes that Fiona and her family are in grave danger. Together, the team must stay one step ahead of two rival assassins or risk Fiona’s life and the McKay family tree.

Dangerous Ground by Susan Hunter

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Dangerous Ground by Susan Hunter was a great book that I enjoyed so much that I read it quickly.  I believe that I have read one other book in this series but I can’t be positive. That being said you don’t have to read the entire series in order to understand this book.  If you are interested in the series I would start from the first book and read them in order but if this is the only one that interests you then you won’t be lost if you read this book.  Leah did get on my nerves from time to time even though I knew why she was making the choices that she was. This book wasn’t super suspenseful but it did have enough that kept me reading until I was finished with this book.  I do think that I am going to back and read a few more books in this series because of how much I enjoyed this book. I would be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy all of the drama that the characters had with each other because of the things that happened when they were all in high school.  It took me about half of the book before I was able to figure out who the killer was and when I figured it out I was totally shocked with is always a good thing when it comes to books in this genre.

A Murder Among Friends …

Everyone is anxious to connect with actor Ryan Malloy when he returns to town for his 15-year high school reunion. Everyone except crime writer Leah Nash. She doesn’t have many fond memories of Himmel High’s golden boy. But it turns out she’s not the only one who isn’t a fan. Before the weekend is over, Ryan Malloy is murdered.

The hard-headed but soft-hearted Leah is unwillingly drawn into investigating his death by the pleading of Ryan’s terminally ill mother. She soon discovers that Ryan’s self-absorbed journey through life trampled on the dreams of a number of people. His old girlfriend, his best friend, his own brother, a local businessman—there’s no shortage of suspects—or secrets. But the solution eludes Leah, until the past and the present collide in a dangerous confrontation that threatens one life and ends another.

Levi

 

It’s no secret I was born from money. And I’m destined to take over the family business, King Cosmetics when my father retires.

 

At least that was the plan. 

 

Until my father decided to impose some stupid rule about being married before I take the reigns. Everything I’ve worked for hangs in the balance and the future of the company is in jeopardy without a King behind the controls.  

 

I never considered Becca part of the plan for taking over, but when one kiss leads to so much more, I can’t help but wonder if she’s the answer to my problem.

 

Becca
There are two things I love – my beauty blog and Levi King. 

 

Coming from the same social circle has given me ample opportunity to crush on the next generation of King Cosmetics, but he made it clear a long time ago that I would never be anything more than “like family” to him.

 

Feeling the need for some serious changes in my life, I start shaking things up. 

 

It wasn’t part of my plan to kiss Levi, but one kiss could never be enough. When that kiss turns into a relationship and I find out that Levi’s been keeping a secret, I begin to question if our love affair was too good to be true.

 

Looks like we’re about to find out if we can truly build flawless foundations for the rest of our lives. After all 425 Madison is the perfect place to fall in love.

 

Excerpt 
Copyright @ Lauren Helms 2020

“Em, is there anything at Envirogal open? I don’t know, maybe in research and development?
Or even the finance department? Maybe it’s time to put my degrees to use?”
She pops out her bottom lip. “I really don’t think we have any openings that would fit what you’re looking for or would enjoy. But I will definitely talk to HR on Monday.” I deflate a little at her response. Damn it. She was a great resource in the field I would want to work in since I clearly have to work.
“Oh, you should talk to Levi. King Cos is always hiring. They are just so much bigger than Envirogal. I’m sure he’d be able to find you a great job!” She’s all excited about the prospect, she’s also completely unaware of my distaste for her brother, Levi King.
Well, if she is aware, she does a great job of ignoring it. Just the thought of her tall, slender, dark-haired, brown-eyed brother makes me twitchy. Then, of course, my next thought goes to the fact that he now lives just down the hall. Which means at any time, he could just show up. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that Emmy’s relationship with her brother is stronger than ever. She deserves it since she has some of the worst parents, but I was as happy as a clam not seeing Levi on a regular basis.
 
I’ve known Levi King since I was a freckle-faced, braces-wearing preteen. We’ve always gotten along but were never friends. With him being two years older than us and seeing him being a nice big brother to Emmy, instead of an asshole like a lot of the other brothers in our social circle, I had it bad. My crush on him grew pretty quickly way back then. Unfortunately for me, that crush never really faded, but instead grew as the years went by. That is, until college.
It all ended one night in my Sophomore year. Emmy and I visited him at Harvard one weekend. He was a senior and surprisingly welcomed a visit from his sister. He took us out with a few of his friends to their local hang out and, well, let’s just say I had a lot to drink. I decided with my liquid courage that I’d flirt a little. He flirted back, to my surprise and extreme excitement. Toward the end of the night, I thought I was actually getting somewhere. So, when I finally kissed him, I was in heaven. Until he pushed me away and told me I was drunk, and he’d never take advantage of a woman under the influence. Okay, so I can commend that. But drunk me just kept pushing until he delivered his final blow. “Becca, you’re like a sister to me, nothing can ever happen between us.”

 

Ouch. You know what’s worse than being friend-zoned? Sister-zoned.

Mercy by Rashel Rossano

 

Rachel Rossano is a happily married mother of three children. She spends her days teaching, mothering, and keeping the chaos at bay. After the children are in bed, she immerses herself in the fantasy worlds of her books. 


Tales of romance, adventure, and virtue set in a medieval fantasy world are her preference, but she also writes speculative fantasy and a bit of science fiction.

The royal wedding approaches and the country is alive with anticipation. 


 Among the craftsmen traveling to the capital is Constance Rendare and her family. An artist, a widow of an unhappy marriage, and the mother of a young son, she dreams of escaping the cruel servitude of her father’s household. 


 Wilard Naron serves the Earl of Dentin. He returns to the capital, his childhood home, to collect his earnings and finally free himself from his father’s reputation. 


 Kidnappings, bandits, and a plot against the king complicate the journey. The conflicts throw Constance and Wilard together as their circumstances grow steadily worse. The more the pair uncovers, the direr the future looks for the country and for them.

Wilard

Constance’s small smile for her son as she emerged from the wagon door the next morning made the exhaustion in my limbs worthwhile. I could function on a half-night’s sleep per night for a few days if I could see such a clear positive result. Madam Rendare, despite all of her efforts to be independent, needed a champion. It was a position I didn’t intend to sign up for in the long-term, but I was happy to fill the post short-term with Hugh’s assistance.

“Roman is acting like a wounded bear this morning,” Hugh informed me as he guided the gypsy wagon’s team past me to their hitching places. “I would steer clear.”

I nodded but didn’t comment. Roman hadn’t approached the women’s wagon during my watch, but I had heard him pacing in the dark barely out of sight for most of my time on duty.

Making my way around the camp to check on everyone’s progress in the preparations for the day’s journey, I encountered Owen racing through his tasks.

“What is the rush?” I asked as he trotted past me with one of the feeding bags over his arm.

He blushed. “I am a bit behind, Master Wilard.”

“Why?”

He avoided my gaze.

“Owen, regard me directly and tell me the truth.”

He reluctantly met my gaze. “Aunt Meri made me scrape the pot last night, and I overslept this morning.”

“If she orders you to do so again tonight, seek me out, understand?”

He nodded briskly while glancing off toward our wagon and his waiting tasks.

“Go on with you. Continue in your duties. We will move out as soon as everyone is ready,” I said. He flashed me an eager grin before running off to finish his work. Turning my own mind to the task of collapsing and packing the rain cover, I set to warming up my aching muscles.

Before the sun cleared the far horizon, both wagons were on the move. The horses followed at a more leisurely pace as Roman and Owen kept the herd in check. Hugh drove the gypsy wagon, utilizing his greater experience. I handled the open wagon with its cover stowed.

The women walked. Constance’s calm and graceful movements contrasted strongly with Meri’s agitation. Meri made her points with a yanking of her wrap and a general demeanor of aggression. Despite the physical signs of a disagreement, their voices never rose to the point I could hear them above the noise of the wagons and horses.
