Resolved by Sara Vinduska
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

FBI Field Agent Ward Calhoun is tired of losing all the best men, and this last loss to his company has really taken a toll on him. Ward is spiraling out of control, feeling like he's at fault. They have got to get this bad guy off the streets before anymore innocent life is lost.

FBI Agent Alicia Davis is assigned to the special case unit and doesn't ever anticipate seeing Ward again...until they are working on the same team. A long ago one night stand had them both desiring more but knowing that it wasn't feasible in their line of work.

Can they work together to get a killer off the streets? At what cost?

I enjoyed this book for the storyline itself. I did find the excessive strong language to be a huge deterrent to me fully enjoying this read.

Love You Better: A Second Chance Stand Alone in the Oakville World by Kallyn Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a stand alone novel that can be read without having read any previous books in the series. If you like a second chance romance with older characters, this just might be the book for you! There is great character development in Blake and Cyndi and their story is a bit typical. Follow along with the drama, humor, and passion as their relationship develops.

The Bootlegger's Wife: A Sweet Historical Roaring Twenties Novel (Moonshine Madness Book #1) by Denise Devine

 

The Bootlegger's Wife: A Sweet Historical Roaring Twenties Novel by Denise Devine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is set in the 1920's in Minnesota. Char's nine year marriage to Gus is falling apart right in front of her face. She finds herself needing to separate from Gus and is able to hide from him right in front of authorities trying to help him find her.

Just when you think you know what will happen next, a new curve is thrown into this fast-paced, exciting story! The author makes it clear which characters you should cheer for and which ones you should loathe along the way. The descriptions of the time period are fairly accurate and make you feel as though you are in the room with all the excitement going on.

I look forward to more books in this series!

Love's Unfading Light (Eagle Harbor Series #1) by Naomi Rawlings

 

Love's Unfading Light by Naomi Rawlings
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a beautifully written story about Tressa, a bakery owner, her 10 year old son, and Mac. Tressa's a recent widow who's quickly learning that her former husband was quite the scoundrel. He's wracked up a pretty healthy stack of debt and everyone is calling on Tressa to make amends for his misdeeds. As she struggles with all this, money that she had saved up to pay her rent on her bakery is stolen, further putting her in the crosshairs of the money-hungry men of Eagle Harbor, Michigan.

Mac enters the picture and sees that Tressa is really in need of some help. She is done with men and does not want or need any help that Mac provides but he keeps offering anyway. It's when she's being threatened further that she finally relents and allows him to step in for assistance.

I listened to this audiobook and found the narrator very easy to listen to. I am looking forward to the next book in this series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Prepare to read this one in one setting if at all possible. It's a great story that is hard to put down!

It will grab you from the first page and won't let go until the end. This author is becoming a new favorite of mine! I enjoy his writing style and storytelling!

The Last One at the Wedding by Jason Rekulak

 

The Last One at the Wedding by Jason Rekulak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a new-to-me author and I've heard so much about this book that I had to borrow it to listen to while driving.

Frank and his daughter Maggie have been estranged for some time. Maggie is getting married and decides she wants her dad to walk her down the aisle. Frank is ecstatic and can't wait to meet the man of Maggie's dreams, along with his family.

The whole set up is rather disturbing to Frank. The secrecy of the family, the massive security details, and the elusive woman at the window. Who is this family that Maggie is marrying into? She doesn't even seem to really like her fiance, Aiden, which adds to the mystery.

Overall, an enjoyable read!
