My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love a good book that keeps me so engaged that I can read it in one setting without missing a beat. This is one of those books! Harper walked away from her FBI career but there's a case just keeps haunting her. Too many similarities are popping up and she fears that she may know more than she'd like about the identity of the suspect. She puts her cap back on and decides to solve this one for good. However, she's met her match in Detective Silas Kane. He's quick to let her know she's not welcome here. Harper starts seeing his mistakes and does her best to work together with him. Together, can they solve this case before more women end up dead?

This is an enemies to lovers style read and I really enjoy the ones where the relationships take time and a lot of work to get to that point. This is a great example of that. I really enjoyed the storyline and was kept engaged the entire time. I do want to go back and read the first book. This is a standalone series but there is an overarching between them all. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Forlorn Harbor by Jim Doran

 

Forlorn Harbor by Jim Doran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Imagine wanting to fit in so much that you're willing to do just about anything. That's where Martina was and she, along with a handful of others, decided to break into an old abandoned movie theater. Sounds like fun, eh? Well, it's all fun and games until the movie projector comes on and the band of trespassers find themselves involved in a game of sorts. Not the kind you really want to play though!

This was such a thrilling read and I believe that young adults as well as more mature adults will appreciate this story. The theater setting is unique and ominous for the parts to be played out. This is a great read and I will likely add this to the "re-read pile" to enjoy again down the road!

The Gift of Belonging (The Wise Women #3) by Cheryl Burman

 

The Gift of Belonging by Cheryl Burman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a beautifully written story about Rose. There is magic, there is love, struggles, and overcoming adversity. I found myself strongly identifying with Rose as I learned more about her in this story. I found it hard to put this book down to deal with "life" and was glad when I could get back to this story. Rose will stick with me for awhile!

I didn't realize this was part of a series when I picked it up. I'll be picking up the others in the series before this one. Each book is independent of each other so there's no "missing out" but this author writes so well I want to read everything she's written.

Highway to Happy: A Soulful, Heart-Tugging Romance by Kelly Fletcher

 

Highway to Happy: A soulful, heart-tugging romance by Kelly Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sometimes you just need to go on a road trip...I can totally relate!! Get away, clear your head, fall in love....oh wait, that wasn't supposed to happen!

Keri is from a small town in Georgia and her first impression of Adam is that he's homeless and sharing his last bite with this dog. This is a touching, heartwarming clean romance that will have you wanting to jump into the pages and be part of this story. There are tender, emotional moments followed by some very raw, truthful ones too.

This is a story that you won't want to put down until you've finished it!
