If you’ve ever watched the T.V. series Bones, you should thoroughly enjoy this book. If you even remotely like any of the CSI or NCIS type police dramas, you’ll love this book.

Scottish policeman Hamish MacBeth has more trouble with women!  First, he gets engaged to an illegal alien, allegedly from Turkey.  When her employer, Mrs. Gentle, ends up dead, the girl is the prime suspect, along with Hamish, but then her body is found in a trunk in the basement... 

I know Susan Page Davis from posting on ShoutLife and Edgy Christian Fiction Lovers and since the title was intriguing, I decided to order Witness.  I was not disappointed.  The plot twists kept coming.  I enjoyed the read tremendously. 

Humorous Hollywood mystery with rich characterization

Racing the Moon by Michele Hauf (Nocturne Bite, 2008)

Copied Blurb:

When the full moon rises, his urgent sexual desire becomes overpowering...and satisfying his demanding lust is the one way he can stop his transformation.

But now he’s stranded in the middle of nowhere, with a storm raging outside, and moonrise imminent. And only the beautiful stranger who rescued him can keep the wolf at bay. Only, she’s resisting his ardent seduction with all her might.

It’s not that she doesn’t ache for him every bit as hungrily as he does for her. Their mutual attraction is fierce and explosive. But they are very different species...and surrendering to her desire will call forth something much more terrifying than the wolf.
