November 2, 2022 by Kate H. Leave a Comment

His Christmas Guardian by Cindy DeesRunaway Ranch #4Thriller/LGBTQ+ RomanceOct 25, 2022 by Harlequin Review by Kate H. There is a lot to like in His Christmas Guardian.

We begin with intrigue, action, and a near death experience. We learn that Nick, an operative in the US intelligence services, was left out of a deadly and Continue Reading

October 14, 2022 by Jen Leave a Comment

The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks and Sarah PekkanenMacmillan AudioDomestic ThrillerMarch 8, 2022 Review by Jen This book should become a series. One of the MCs is a therapist with an unconventional approach to helping her clients. I need more of this character!  The Golden Couple is a psychological thriller that follows the marriage troubles of a couple, the Bishops, who are beautiful, live in Washington DC and seem to have it all.

Melinda’s Mini Reviews: No Strings by Lucy Bexley & the Roxane Weary series by Kristen Lepionka

June 17, 2022 by Melinda 1 Comment

No Strings by Lucy BexleyLGBTQ Contemporary RomanceJan 11, 2022Purchased Review by Melinda No Strings by Lucy Bexley is genuinely one of the most charming and surprising books I’ve read! The cover may be one of the worst I’ve ever seen so I would never have picked it up without a friend telling me it was 5 stars for her. Elsie is a puppeteer on a kid's TV show that she basically created…but gets next to no credit OR money for. And when the head of the company dies, his daughter Jones Continue Reading

Review: By the Book by G.B. Gordon

June 16, 2022 by Kate H. Leave a Comment

By the Book by G.B. Gordon Contemporary Romance/Thriller/LGBTQ+Published June 14th by Carina Press Reviewed by Kate H. I love books that cross genres, but when genre expectations conflict, not all readers will be happy and I’m afraid that may be the case with this novel.  By the Book is a m/m romance and a thriller – the tale of a novice accountant, Ben Coyne, and Nick Marshall, a playboy FBI agent coming up against his 40th birthday.  Ben has discovered a Continue Reading

Audio Review: The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

June 10, 2022 by Melinda 1 Comment

The Woman in the Library by Sulari GentillSuspenseJune 7, 2022, by SourcebooksAudio ARC Review by Melinda I’m always looking for good thrillers, and I think they can be difficult to find. It takes someone really talented to build the suspense necessary to keep a reader invested in the plot, and then even more difficult to have a twist that no one sees coming. The Woman in the Library does the next to impossible and has high tension, a unique format, and is completely addictive. I Continue Reading

Review: When No One Is Watching: A Thriller by Alyssa Cole

September 3, 2020 by Melinda Leave a Comment

My love for Alyssa Cole is well established and I truly think she can write anything but this book blew me away! I know people are going to say wow this book is so timely…and yes; it’s so timely - but not because of the massive protests happening this summer, or the micro and macro aggressions that are being filmed and rightly passed around, or the horrors of police brutality, but because racial injustice and inequality has always been timely in America.  What made this Continue Reading
