Romantic suspense

It’s Christmastime in Boston, and this
year the silver bells will be wedding bells as FBI agent Jules Cassidy ties the
knot with the man of his dreams, Hollywood heartthrob Robin Chadwick.

SYNOPSIS:  It all starts with a dead body left garishly displayed at St. Sebastian's Chapel....

Back Cover: Determined to heal her broken heart, Katherine Wyatt retreated to her family's ranch.  She vowed to avoid men - until she had to share space with a charming, infuriatingly sexy cowboy.  Somehow Hunter Sincair knew just how to provoke her, and he seemed awfully determined to keep her in his sights.  Especially as someone wanted the Wyatts off the ranch for good.

First off, I primarily got this book because there was a continuation story from Shannon McKenna.  I can go to the moon and back with all the wonderful reasons why I love her books.  She is one of the authors that I check their website monthly to find out when the next book is coming out and if there is a new snippet of an upcoming book.

Just finished the first Night Huntress story HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE by Jeaniene Frost and had to run right out and buy the sequel. A sure sign of a good read. Heroine Cat Crawfield is a half vamp dedicated to killing any vampires whose path she crosses until the night she targets a vamp she just can't stake.

Wow!

SYNOPSIS:  Lucy Karmon has taken her skills from the Athena Academy and formed a mercenary team.  Her specialty: explosives.  Delphi wants her assistance in the fight against the deadly Athena Academy foe, Arachne, and Lucy is more than willing.  Her mission leads her to Africa and the empire of Miranda N'Buta.  Miranda has a new security chief, Nolan Taylor.  Will Nolan prove to be friend or foe in this mission?

     Sharon Sala is a favourite and autobuy author and has been for years... in both of her guises.  Until now, I figured that it was her stories written under Dinah McCall that were more mystical, but obviously not!  Either way, I was not disappointed in this story ~ and I have debck3 to thank for the fact that I moved this book up; so "Thanks Deb... great review!"
     The connection that Jonah Gray Wolf has with animals is wonderful; his connection with Lucia is beautiful and right from the very beginning their spiritual union shone through.  This story took me away and it took me a little over 4 hours of interrupted reading to finsh... I did not want to put the book down.  If you enjoy mysticism connected to nature; if you enjoy a soul-deep connection in your romance; if suspense adds a little fillip to your reading, then this is a story for you.  VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

RATING:
Excellence: Excellent to OUTSTANDING ~ 4.5 stars
Steaminess: Romantic, barely Sensual

"Bailey Wingate's scheming adult stepchildren are surprised when their father's will leaves Bailey in control of their fortune, and war ensues. A year later, while flying from Seattle to Denver in a small plane, Bailey nearly dies herself when the engine sputters-and then fails.

Cam Justice, her sexy Texan pilot, manages to crash-land the aircraft. Stranded in the wilderness, and struggling to douse her feelings for the ruggedly handsome man by her side, Bailey begins to wonder whether this was a mere accident. Who tampered with their plane? Who's trying to reunite Bailey and her husband in the afterlife? Cut off from the world, and with little hope of rescue, Bailey must trust her life-and heart-to Cam, as they battle the harsh elements to find a way out of the unforgiving wilds and back to civilization . . . where a killer may be waiting to finish the job."

Rating:  Okay - 2 stars

This is my first entry this year and I have SO MUCH to catch up on! It just took me this long to figure out how to do the blog (yes I'm that computer incompetent, yeesh)...will try to do a few at a time, starting with the most recent, which I finished on my exciting (not) PATH ride this morning, Cindy Dees's latest SRS THE DARK SIDE OF NIGHT, the first in her new HOT Watch miniseries.
