The Hunt

The Hunt (Big Bad Wolf Series)The Hunt by Heather Killough-Walden

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I have read all the books in this series and loved them. They are hard to put down. It helps to read them in order so you have a better idea of who each character is. They are all available on Smashwords.com for all eReaders, Barnes and noble for Nook, Amazon for Kindle.



Byron Caige has been a prisoner for the last fifty years of his supernaturally long life. Just when he gives up hope of ever knowing the taste of freedom again, he is unwittingly rescued by the very same woman who only wants to see him dead. Katherine Dare - Kat - is smart, fast, strong and beautiful - but unfortunately she's a Hunter, and she's convinced that Byron murdered her father twenty years ago.



She's also Byron's dormant.



As supernatural war breaks out amongst the otherworldly of Earth and threatens the existence of entire races, Kat is faced with a terrible decision. Should she give up her cause and believe Caige when he professes his innocence? Or should she fight him and possibly avenge her father's taken life - even while she forfeits her own?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is an easy fun book to read. I must admit The Murder Mystery Club had me smiling thru this story.



Susan Collins always wanted to be a hard hitting reporter, but there isn't much call for her talent in sleepy Glory North Carolina. Then the Murder Mystery Club a trio of enterprising octogenarians decides to open their own CSI lab at the assisted living center, and when strange accidents begin to happen Susan senses she could be on to the news story of her dreams.



Mark Tremayne has returned to Glory to take over as CFO of The Glory Examiner. His job is to keep the newspaper profitable, which means covering the annual Baptist Church Bake Off Sale. and selling ads for the county fair- not allowing his too sexy for her own good reporter to hare off after a wild story that could alienate some of the townspeople.

Mark's & Susan's viewpoints could be from different planets, but their mutual attraction is in total alignment.

The Countess by Lynsay Sands

The Countess (Madison Sisters, #1)The Countess by Lynsay Sands

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


When I read this book I found myself smiling a number of times. The problems encountered when you try to hide a dead body ! This is a fun easy romance to read.



The fairy tale courtship did not turn into a happily-ever-after . . .



Not until her husband dropped dead, that is. He had been horrible enough to Christiana during their short marriage, and she was not going to allow the traditional period of mourning to ruin her sisters' debuts as well. So she decides to put him on ice and go on as if nothing's happened . . .



Until the real earl appears. Richard Fairgrave had every intention of confronting his villainous twin who had robbed him of his name and title . . . only to discover that he had died. Quietly assuming his identity, Richard must now deal with a maddening desire for his ravishing inherited "wife"— certainly a gold digger and possibly a murderess. And Christiana must deal with an unwanted new "husband" . . . and they both must figure out what to do before the ice melts!
