First off I want to thank Harlequin Intrigue for inviting me to read and review this book, because so far they've never let me down when it comes to their Suspense romance , and every time I pick up one of their books I tend to get lost in their stories as well as in their characters . And the same can be said about this one. Right from the start the story the story had me hooked and the characters themselves became some of my all time favorite ones. I loved how close Eli and his family was , how they was there for each others back when ever they needed help. As for Ashlyn herself  I loved how she was strong and would do anything to keep her daughter safe, and how she came to realize that it wasn't Eli fault that her best friend was killed . As for the story  itself here is what I loved about  how it was an intense, fast-paced read that grabbed my attention from the very first page and didn't let go until the end. There was plenty of drama, action, and suspense to keep me on the edge of my seat, and after reading it I realized that I wanted to read more books by this author .

Excerpt, SETTLING AN OLD SCORE by Delores Fossen
Ashlyn knew it would take more luck to pin Dominick down on that. Especially if he had in-deed
hired those gunmen.
As soon as Kellan walked out, Eli took hold of her hand and moved her out of the doorway. Out
of view from the windows, too. She hadn’t needed a reminder of the danger, but that gave her one any-
way.
“There are too many puzzle pieces,” she said. “In the meantime, you and I—maybe Cora,
too—are in the crosshairs of a killer.”
He didn’t argue with her. Couldn’t. Because it was true, a frustration that they both felt. That
frustration was in every muscle of his body when he pulled her into his arms. As he’d done in the
kitchen, he brushed a kiss on the top of her head. A kiss of comfort.
And it worked.
Ashlyn could practically feel some of the tension slide right out of her. Of course, the heat came
in its place. No surprise there. She’d been dealing with it for much too long.
He pulled back just a little and looked down at her with those smoky gray eyes. They weren’t
stormy now but had some of the same fire that she was certain was in her own.
“Yeah,” he said as if he’d known exactly what she was thinking—and feeling. “If we were still in
high school, I would just coax you into taking a trip out to my truck. That won’t work this time, though.”
“No.” Since he could be dangerous. And also since sex should be the last thing on their minds.
But Ashlyn wanted to make this moment a little lighter than spelling out those reminders. “Because
we’re sensible adults now.”
The corner of his mouth lifted, causing a dimple to flash in his cheek. Yes, a dimple. It was
another weapon in the arsenal of Eli Slater, hot cowboy. But the smile didn’t last long.
“Soon, we’re going to have a brief talk about this,” Eli drawled, his voice all smoke and heat.
“And then we’ll deal with it. I’ve got some ideas as to how we can do that.”
Now she smiled, and even though she figured it was a mistake, Ashlyn brushed her mouth over
his. Again, not a full-fledged kiss, but it could have qualified as foreplay. Short foreplay.

Would I recommend it ? Yes in fact I all ready did to some of my friends who love this type of romance.

Would I read more of this series? Yes

Would I read more by this author? Yes

First off I want to say thanks to Carina Press Blog Tour Program, as well as the author and NetGalley for letting me read and review it, because I was so happy when I got the invite to do so and I knew as soon as I saw it that I was going to say yes because after reading book 1 which I loved , I knew that I could wait to read the next one because I had to know what happened next to Garrick and if he got his forever happiness. And just like the first one I fell in love with the characters Garrick and Rain . There was just something about the two of them that screamed they was made for each other , one of the things I loved and it was a big part of the love for this story was how Garrick never tried to change or make Rain become someone he wasn't , he liked him for who he was . And other thing I loved was how the story was about them coming together and not just about the hot steam sex they had . Plus I loved how the author handle Garrick's disability  and how she brought to life that no matter what your life throws at you your always have family and friends right there to help you and that its alright to  ask and admit that you need help. With that said I can't for wait to read the next book in this series.

and for all...
Danger lurks everywhere for Central Oregon’s fire crews, but the biggest risk of all might be
losing their hearts. Don’t miss the Hotshots series from Annabeth Albert: Burn Zone, High Heat,

For a first book by a new author , she's  off to a great  start with this series, from the very start it had me hooked and I had to know what happened next . And I'm so glad that I requested as soon as I saw it on Netgalley , it was the title that made it want to get it as well as the cover. And the characters themselves was great as well but my favorite character is Mackenzie. The story line was wrote in a way that once you started reading it had you hook, line and sinker.That no matter how hard you tried to put down the book you just couldn't , because  of suspense, secrets, crime, lies, secrets, friendship and the twist and turns that came at you , and as your  setting at the edge of your set you wounder what else could go wrong, with that said I want to thank NetGalley for letting me read and review it.

A profoundly moving and unconventional mother-daughter saga, The Last Story of Mina Lee illustrates the devastating realities of being an immigrant in America.

Margot Lee's mother, Mina, isn't returning her calls. It's a mystery to twenty-six-year-old Margot, until she visits her childhood apartment in Koreatown, LA, and finds that her mother has suspiciously died. The discovery sends Margot digging through the past, unraveling the tenuous invisible strings that held together her single mother's life as a Korean War orphan and an undocumented immigrant, only to realize how little she truly knew about her mother.

Interwoven with Margot's present-day search is Mina's story of her first year in Los Angeles as she navigates the promises and perils of the American myth of reinvention.

But that love story sets in motion a series of events that have consequences for years to come, leading up to the truth of what happened the night of her death.

Told through the intimate lens of a mother and daughter who have struggled all their lives to understand each other, The Last Story of Mina Lee is a powerful and exquisitely woven debut novel that explores identity, family, secrets, and what it truly means to belong

Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) Book Award Finalist**

The gripping story of a team of Nazi hunters at the U.S. Department of Justice as they raced against time to expose members of a brutal SS killing force who disappeared in America after World War Two.
In 1990, in a drafty basement archive in Prague, two American historians made a startling discovery: a Nazi roster from 1945 that no Western investigator had ever seen. The long-forgotten document, containing more than 700 names, helped unravel the details behind the most lethal killing operation in World War Two.

In the tiny Polish village of Trawniki, the SS set up a school for mass murder and then recruited a roving army of foot soldiers, 5,000 men strong, to help annihilate the Jewish population of occupied Poland. After the war, some of these men vanished, making their way to the U.S. and blending into communities across America. Though they participated in some of the most unspeakable crimes of the Holocaust, "Trawniki Men" spent years hiding in plain sight, their terrible secrets intact.

In a story spanning seven decades, Citizen 865 chronicles the harrowing wartime journeys of two Jewish orphans from occupied Poland who outran the men of Trawniki and settled in the United States, only to learn that some of their one-time captors had followed. A tenacious team of prosecutors and historians pursued these men and, up against the forces of time and political opposition, battled to the present day to remove them from U.S. soil.

Through insider accounts and research in four countries, this urgent and powerful narrative provides a front row seat to the dramatic turn of events that allowed a small group of American Nazi hunters to hold murderous men accountable for their crimes decades after the war's end.

The world’s most beloved detective, Hercule Poirot—the legendary star of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile—returns in a delectably twisty mystery.

Hercule Poirot is travelling by luxury passenger coach from London to the exclusive Kingfisher Hill estate. Richard Devonport has summoned him to prove that his fiancée, Helen, is innocent of the murder of his brother, Frank. There is one strange condition attached to this request: Poirot must conceal his true reason for being there from the rest of the Devonport family.

On the coach, a distressed woman leaps up, demanding to disembark. She insists that if she stays in her seat, she will be murdered. A seat-swap is arranged, and the rest of the journey passes without incident. But Poirot has a bad feeling about it, and his fears are later confirmed when a body is discovered in the Devonports' home with a note that refers to "the seat that you shouldn’t have sat in."

Could this new murder and the peculiar incident on the coach be clues to solving the mystery of who killed Frank Devonport? And can Poirot find the real murderer in time to save an innocent woman from the gallows?

Would I recommend it? yes

would I read more of this series? Yes in fact I have book 2 to read and review

Would I read more by this author? Yes

While it it slow though out the book for some unknown reasons I ended up liking it a lot more then I thought I would because of it, in fact the pacing helped in a lot of reasons and to name a few  it helped bring the places and descriptions as well as the characters to life, and it even give it the feeling like it was one of my  old detective books or movies that I love t read and watch.Another thing is that the main character was a former-paleontology-student turned private-detective which is way different then anything I've read because even in the old detective stories the main character was a cop of some shorts or even a soldier that become came a detective. And while it was slow like I said before it still had everything that make a great mystery which is Drama, mystery, fights, and plot twists . With that said I want to say think you the publisher as well as the author and Netgalley for letting me read and review it.

Rating: 5

Would I recommend it ? Yes

Would I read more of the series? Yes

Would I read more by this author? Yes

Just like the first book it movies at a good, steady pace, and you get to see the characters come to live,and I loved the inter action between Patience & Lillian as well as Elvis and  Susie Bear with Henry. And the author did a really good job handing her character of Henry, she really brought him to life. And the  twists and turns this book takes will keep you awake until you finished it. Can't wait to read the next book when it comes out because I have to know what happens next to out beloved characters.

Series:Mercy & Elvis Mysteries #2

 Paula Munier 

Genre:Mystery

Former Army MP Mercy Carr and her retired bomb-sniffing dog Elvis are back in Blind Search, the sequel to the page-turning, critically acclaimed A Borrowing of Bones

It's October, hunting season in the Green Mountains--and the Vermont wilderness has never been more beautiful or more dangerous. Especially for nine-year-old Henry, who's lost in the woods. Again. Only this time he sees something terrible. When a young woman is found shot through the heart with a fatal arrow, Mercy thinks that something is murder. But Henry, a math genius whose autism often silences him when he should speak up most, is not talking.

Now there's a murderer hiding among the hunters in the forest--and Mercy and Elvis must team up with their crime-solving friends, game warden Troy Warner and search-and-rescue dog Susie Bear, to find the killer--before the killer finds Henry. When an early season blizzard hits the mountains, cutting them off from the rest of the world, the race is on to solve the crime, apprehend the murderer, and keep the boy safe until the snowplows get through.

Inspired by the true search-and-rescue case of an autistic boy who got lost in the Vermont wilderness, Paula Munier's mystery is a compelling roller coaster ride through the worst of winter--and human nature
