Smoke and Serenity (Everhart Family Book 1) by R.L. Dunn

 

Smoke and Serenity by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the start of a new series that is sure to be great! There are some choppy areas in the beginning, which gave it a slower start than I might have liked but soon, the pages were flying! This first book focuses on Olivia and Jackson, with Olivia's family being the Everharts. The connection between Olivia and Jackson is a bit of a gut punch and they use that experience to overcome new obstacles in their path.

I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Critical Care (Chase Care Series Book 6) by R.L. Dunn

 

Critical Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm a fan of R.L. Dunn so when I saw an opportunity to pick this book up, I couldn't pass on it. I thought it might be a general romance novel, which it is a romantic novel, but oh so much more! I also love medical themed books and this one did not disappoint. Many would be possibly turned off by the use of big medical terms but not this girl! I dove right in!

My initial first impression of the first few chapters is that it was a cheesy romance novel. The terms of endearment used between Tim and Willow were a bit over the top in my opinion. I almost spit out my drink a couple of times at the cheesiness of it all. However, the story took a quick turn from strictly romantic to being full of suspense. I couldn't read it fast enough to know all the twists and turns. There were quite a few plot twists, which engaged me even further into the book. A couple I saw coming but not all of them.

I have not read the previous 5 books in this series. This can be read as a standalone. However, I'm very intrigued by this Chase Care organization, as well as being a fan of this author, so I'll be going back and reading the other books in this series.

If you love a psychologically twisted plot full of medical procedures and jargon, this one will not disappoint!

Ritual Obsession (Blood Obsession Book 1) by R.L. Dunn

 

Ritual Obsession by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Max loves his job as a detective for his local precinct but he's still mourning over the loss of his relationship with Carole. They were running for the altar when everything changed and he found himself alone.

Roberta (a.k.a. Bobbi) is a socialite turned cop. No one wants to take her seriously because of her amazingly great looks and money. She just wants to be accepted and make something of her life while staying out of the papers.

When Bobbi is hired on as the new partner for Rosie (another cop in the department), every man is vying for a chance at her. She only has eyes for one person but really don't want to mix business with pleasure after the outcome on her last assignment for another precinct.

A series of murders start happening in the city and this murderer's M.O. is pretty gruesome. He only desires brunettes with hazel eyes and most of them are call girls. It's when his m.o. starts changing that things really start to heat up for the detectives on the case. How many more women have to die before they can catch this creep?

This is my first R.L. Dunn book but will not be my last!! From the get go, this one had my attention. Just when I thought I had it figured out, things would change and I'd change my mind. I'm still trying to untangle all the clues and details!! This is gripping, chilling, and will stick with you for awhile. I'm glad the next book in this series is released in a couple of weeks. I'll have to reserve some time for it because it's that good of a series so far!
