Direct Threat by Kimberly Rose Johnson

     Carissa and March have to work together to protect their client and not fall in love in the meanwhile.   Carissa is the co-owner of a protection service and when her partner hires another body guard (Marc) to help, Carissa finds herself drawn to him.  She realizes that they will have to work at working together as they figure out how to make it work while also keeping diligent at their job.  Looking forward to see what happens next.      I received a copy of this book, the review is my own.    

All She Wrote: A Cat Cozy Mystery: A Mail Carrier Cozy Mystery by Tonya Kappes

     This book has a lot going for it.  It is set in a small town and the characters really lend much to the book.  They have to work out who murdered Florence and why.  In addition they have to sort out what is going with other family members  and keep up with what is going on in the neighborhood.  I can just see Bernie going about doing her job as mail carrier all the while snooping as well.      I received  a copy of the book to read, the review is mine.

Starfish Pier by Irene Hannon

     I love Hope Harbor and the characters that live there.  Steven has moved there to have a more peaceful life to spend his days fishing and taking people out to fish, but there are still things in his past that stick with him.      Holly finds herself working with Steven on a project where they don't always agree it turns into a really big deal as the entire community gets involved.  They have to learn how to work for this good cause even when they don't always agree.  I know how hard that can be to really be pasionate about something but to have to sometimes give in to make things work for the best.      I received a copy of the book the review is mine.

Standoff by Patricia Bradley

     I enjoy a good mystery and this one did not disappoint.  Having been on part of the Natchez Trace National Parkway, I could easily envision many of the scenes in the book.       Luke has been sent in to become a part of a drug ring, but finds himself instead investigating the murder of a friend.  He finds solving the murder even more a priority when his friend John's daughter gets drawn in while investigating the murder and finds herself a target as well. Luke finds it all he can do to keep her safe and find out what exactly is going on.

Hadley Beckett's Next Dish by Bethany Turner

     This is a new to me author and I enjoyed the book.  Being from the South myself I could relate to Hadley and her southern charms and ways and I can envisions what it was like for her to have to work with Max.      Both Max and Hadley have to work together on a TV show as Max is trying for a new start and they both have to learn to work together and make their different ways mesh.  I was funny to see how they clashed at times and how they figured things out.       I received a copy of the book, the review is mine.

On a Coastal Breeze by Suzanne Woods Fisher

     I really enjoyed reading this book and getting introduced to the characters.  Maddie thinks she has things under control but like many of us she soon finds out that things are not quite as she would like them.  I think I would like to live on this island as it seems like a great place to live and work.       Maddie's world gets turned upside down when Ricky show up.  Ricky is the one person that Maddie could do with out, so of course he winds up back in her life.  A great read and one that will keep you wanting to see how it will all turn out. I received a copy of the book to read, the review is my own.

The Traitor's Pawn by Lisa Harris

     I enjoyed the suspense of this book as Jack is trying to figure out what exactly is going on and how to address the problem.  He joins the search for a missing person thinking it might be both related to the case he is working on and because he realizes he knows her.  This is a book that will keep you reading.    I received a copy to read the review is mine.
