SEALs of Honor: Chase by Dale Mayer

SEALs of Honor: Chase by Dale Mayer was a book I knew I would love just from the cover of it. These are the types of books I will pick up when I want a book that I can get lost in. There is something about this genre of book, and I usually end up buying them so when I saw I could get this one to review I knew I had to get a copy. I enjoyed everything about this author and her books. I am so glad to have found her because I know have another author to read books by. I loved this author’s style of writing and how she was able to get me interested right from the first page. I would say that this book is predictable, but most books are for me at this point because I have read so many of them. I also really enjoyed her characters, and I found that I was looking at them as if they were real people. I know that if you love chick lit books and books that have military people in them than I know you will love this book as much as I do.

About The Book

This is the next installment in the SEALs of the Honor series.

Everyone has something in their history they’d like to keep buried in the past…
Chase has more than most. And his secrets are about to blow wide open as one really bad part of his past has come looking for him.

Because You’re Mine by Colleen Coble

February 1, 2017

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from BookLook 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.

Because You’re Mine by Colleen Coble was a good book. I always like books that Colleen has written, so I know I would enjoy this book but it wasn’t one of my favorites by her. I did have a hard time staying interested in this story, and I think that has to do with the fact that I wasn’t a huge fan of any of the characters in this story. I felt sorry for Alanna, but I didn’t really like her which makes it hard to stay interested in the book. I just couldn’t stay interested in this story, so it is another one that once I post this review I know I will forget I ever read this book. If you love Christian mystery books than I would for sure have you check this one out it just wasn’t the right fit for me.

About The Book

Alanna has been plagued by tragedy. So it should come as no surprise that in the beauty that surrounds Charleston, all is not as it seems.

When her husband is killed by a car bomb while their band is on tour in Charleston, Alanna doesn’t know where to turn. Her father-in-law is threatening to take custody of the baby she carries, but the one thing she knows for sure is that she can’t lose the last piece of Liam she has left.

Their manager offers her a marriage of convenience to gain her U.S. citizenship and allow her to escape her father-in-law’s control. It seems like the perfect solution . . . But her doubts begin almost as soon as she arrives at Barry’s family home, a decaying mansion surrounded by swamp.

To make matters worse, Liam’s best friend survived the car bomb. She’s never really liked Jesse, and now she can’t seem to get away from him. When he takes Liam’s place in their band, it’s almost more than she can bear.

But then things start happening. Things that could easily cost Alanna her life—or the life of her unborn child. Are they mere coincidences? Or is there something much more sinister at work?

Twilight at Blueberry Barren by Colleen Coble

January 10, 2017

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from BookLook 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.

Twilight at Blueberry Barren by Colleen Coble was a great book. I don’t think I have ever read a book written by this author that I haven’t liked. This is the third book in the series and the first one from this series that I have read. You don’t read them in order to understand what is going on in this book but with that being said if it were up to me I would read them in order because I love all of her books so I know I will like the other books in this series. I think these characters might be my favorite out of all of her books. They seemed like the most life-like characters that I have read so far in her books. I read this book in a couple of days because I didn’t want to put it down until I was finished with the book. If you love Christian fiction books than I would for sure have you check out this book.

About The Book

USA TODAY Bestseller!

“I need you to keep these girls safe . . .”

Kate Mason has devoted herself to caring for her family’s blueberry barrens. But after her fields stop producing fruit, she’s forced to come up with alternative ways to make a living.

Renting out the small cottage on her property seems an obvious choice, but it won’t be enough. When entrepreneur Drake Newham shows up looking not only for a place to rent but also for a nanny for his two nieces, it’s almost too good to be true. And maybe it is—because Drake brings with him dangerous questions about who might be out to kill his family.

The more time Kate spends with Drake and the girls, the more difficult it becomes to hide her attraction to him. But a family crisis isn’t exactly the ideal time to pursue a romance.

Meanwhile, Kate learns that her uncle—in prison for murder—has escaped. Add to that a local stalker who won’t leave her alone, and Kate is looking over her shoulder at every turn. With threats swirling from multiple directions, she wonders if her blueberry fields will ever flourish again . . . or if this twilight is her last.

Set on the beautiful coast of Maine, Twilight at Blueberry Barrens brings together suspense, romance, and the hope that one day new life will come again.

Relentless by Nancy J Alexander

December 26, 2016

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from iRead 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.

Relentless: An Elisabeth Reinhardt Thriller by Nancy J Alexander was a great audiobook. I enjoyed listening to this book as I was driving to and from work. I would totally get into what was going on in the book and because of that it keep me from getting super pissed off while I was driving. I enjoyed that the author was the narrator of this book. I just liked knowing that the person who wrote the book was telling the story and for some reason, it made me like this audiobook even more. This is another book that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire thing because of how well it was written. I did find that when I got home from work, I would sit in my car until I was able to get through the chapter I was on because I hated having to put this book down and do something else. If you love thriller/suspense books than I know, you will love this book as much as I did. If you have read or listened to it what did you think of it???

About The Book

“The little girl lay under the hay stack scarcely breathing. Sweat poured down her face and dripped into her eyes; her heart pounded through her thin chest. Tiny flecks of hay clung to her wet skin, making her itch. She squeezed her nose tightly afraid she’d sneeze. Eyes clamped shut, she lay there. Flies buzzed around her, crawling on her. She didn’t move. She didn’t know how long she’d been there in the loft. She didn’t care how long she stayed. She couldn’t move. Not yet.”

Nearly a lifetime after a childhood filled with misery and abuse, Gina, now a successful doctor, finds herself thrown back into a terrifying world where her nightmares become far more than just a dream. With the help of an unconventional therapist with secrets of her own, the hunt is on and Gina fights for her life in this harrowing tale of cat and mouse.

About The Author

Love of the mystery/thriller genre combines with psychotherapy training and experience to produce an emotionally supercharged dramatic novel. Nancy Alexander has devoted much of her professional life to helping survivors of childhood trauma; their distress has been ingrained and works to create characters who give voice to their plight. To analyze the evil minds that prey on others and the intricacies of law enforcers who pursue them seemed a natural interlacing of professional, literary and creative interests.

The Kill Sign by Nichole Christoff

December 21, 2016

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley 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.

The Kill Sign by Nichole Christoff was a good book. I took a few chapters for me to get into the book but I am glad that I stuck with it because in the end, I did end up enjoying the story. This is the fourth book in the Jamie Sinclair series and the first one that I have read. That being said I understood everything that was going on, so you don’t have to read the books in order if you don’t want to. It is a slow started, but after I few chapters I didn’t want to put it down. This book did keep me on the edge of my seat, and it was one that I found myself staying up way too late because I hate putting books like this down when things are happening so fast. This is the first book I have read by this author and since this is the fourth book in the series I will be reading the other books in the series in the future.

About The Book

Security specialist and PI Jamie Sinclair finds herself in deadly waters off the steamy Gulf Coast in this combustible thriller from the award-winning author of The Kill Box.

Never in her life has Jamie Sinclair anticipated a weekend getaway more. After four months apart, she’s flying to Mississippi to see her would-be boyfriend, military police officer Adam Barrett. Barrett’s currently stationed in the same Gulf Coast town where Jamie got her start as a private investigator, and she’s equally excited to reconnect with her old mentor, Ray Walther, and his pregnant wife, Corinne, who’s Jamie’s best friend.

But all hopes for a relaxing and romantic weekend are shattered when a dirty bomb explodes on a riverboat packed with military, killing dozens of soldiers. In the chaotic aftermath, Jamie believes that she spots the bomber—and recognizes him from her past. As Barrett and Jamie race to catch the terrorist before he strikes again, Ray and Corinne become targets themselves. And this time around, Jamie won’t let a little thing like the law keep her from protecting the people she loves most—no matter the cost.

About The Author

Nichole Christoff is a writer, broadcaster, and military spouse who has worked on air and behind the scenes producing and promoting content for radio, television news, and the public relations industry across the United States and Canada.

The Twilight Wife by A.J. Banner

December 20, 2016

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley 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.

The Twilight Wife by A.J. Banner was an extraordinary book. I have read a book like this one in quite a while, and I am so glad that I decided to review this book because it was a great book. I don’t read these type of books all that often because even though that I love them I always end up staying up way too late because I have to know what happens next. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I can’t wait to read other books by her because she hooked me right from the first page and I didn’t want to put the book down until I was finished. I didn’t like Jacob from the outset because he seemed off to me from the outset. If you are looking for a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat, I would recommend this book to you. If you have read it already what did you think of it?

About The Book

From bestselling author A.J. Banner comes a dazzling new novel of psychological suspense in the vein of S.J. Watson’s Before I Go to Sleep and Mary Kubica’s The Good Girl that questions just how much we can trust the people around us.

Thirty-four-year-old marine biologist Kyra Winthrop remembers nothing about the diving accident that left her with a complex form of memory loss. With only brief flashes of the last few years of her life, her world has narrowed to a few close friendships on the island where she lives with her devoted husband, Jacob.

But all is not what it seems. Kyra begins to have visions—or are they memories?—of a rocky marriage, broken promises, and cryptic relationships with the island residents, whom she believes to be her friends.

As Kyra races to uncover her past, the truth becomes a terrifying nightmare. A twisty, immersive thriller, The Twilight Wife will keep readers enthralled through the final, shocking twist.

About The Author

A. J. Banner grew up reading Agatha Christie, Daphne du Maurier, and other masters of love and mystery. She enjoyed sneaking thrillers from her parents’ library, which gave her excellent fodder for her first novel of psychological suspense, The Good Neighbor. Born in India and raised in North America, she always dreamed of writing gripping stories in which nothing is what it seems. She’s hard at work on her next novel in her home office overlooking a Pacific Northwest forest.
