It should be the
happiest weekend of Officer Stevie Taylor’s life. She’s finally going to
marry Police Chief Zane Duncan and live happily ever after in Solitude,
Oregon. But all wedding plans grind to a halt when a dead body is found
at a nearby campground. A vacationing A-list TV actor has been
murdered…and all hell is about to break loose.
When it comes to a
celebrity murder, everyone has a motive—and everyone wants a piece of
the action. As news media and paparazzi swarm their sleepy town, Stevie
and Zane must dig deep to untangle a web of lies, dirty little secrets,
and betrayals—and uncover the killer. But the closer they get to the
truth, the deadlier their investigation becomes. And if they don’t act
quickly, ’Til death do us part may come sooner than they thought.
Review: I was given an ARC of Death and Her Devotion from NetGalley for an honest review and this is my review.
I
have been a big fan of all the books in the Rogue series by Kendra
Elliot and Melinda Leigh since they first started and now with Death and
Her Devotion the newest novella in the series the excellent series
continues on.
In this book we finally get to see if our beloved
characters who we have grown to love throughout these books will finally
make it to the alter. Will Stevie and Zane finally be able to say I do?
Or will the murder of a famous movie star and crazy lady who likes to
start fires stand in their way?
I loved how Elliot kept you guessing
who the killer was until the end and also how she brought back all the
characters from the past books to play a part in this book. It was nice
to see familiar faces reappear again.
Even though this was a novella
it was well written and a lot was covered in a short time. I can't wait
to read the second book. I am giving this book five out of five stars.

When All The Girls Have Gone by Jayne Ann Krentz
When Charlotte Sawyer
is unable to contact her step-sister, Jocelyn, to tell her that one her
closest friends was found dead, she discovers that Jocelyn has
vanished.
Beautiful, brilliant—and reckless—Jocelyn has gone off the grid before, but never like this. In a desperate effort to find her, Charlotte joins forces with Max Cutler, a struggling PI who recently moved to Seattle after his previous career as a criminal profiler went down in flames—literally. Burned out, divorced and almost broke, Max needs the job.
After surviving a near-fatal attack, Charlotte and Max turn to Jocelyn’s closest friends, women in a Seattle-based online investment club, for answers. But what they find is chilling…
When her uneasy alliance with Max turns into a full-blown affair, Charlotte has no choice but to trust him with her life. For the shadows of Jocelyn’s past are threatening to consume her—and anyone else who gets in their way...
Review: I was given an ARC of When All The Girls Have Gone from First to Read.
I really enjoyed this Jayne Ann Krentz book. It was packed full of suspense and had a very nice romance storyline in it as well.
Charlotte and Max were both very interesting characters who played off each other so well throughout the book sometimes I found myself laughing out loud at some of the things they would say to each other. I loved how these two were written so well for each other.
As for the mystery part of the book that was also very well written. Even though you, as the reader, knew some of the elements of the story true to her style Krentz always held back a few surprises for you.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I really hope there is another one in the series that will be coming out because there were a few loose ends I felt. I am giving When All Girls Have Gone five out of five stars.

Reckless Creed (Ryder Creed #3)
In Chicago, a young man
jumps from his thirtieth-story hotel room; along the Missouri river, a
hunter and his son stumble upon a lake whose surface is littered with
snow geese, all of them dead; and in southern Alabama, Ryder Creed and
his search-and-rescue dog Grace find the body of a young woman who went
missing in the Conecuh National Forest...and it appears she filled her
pockets with rocks and walked into the river. Before long Ryder Creed
and FBI profiler Maggie O’Dell will discover the ominous connection
among these mysterious deaths. What they find may be the most prolific
killer the United States has ever known.
Review: Another excellent Ryder Creed book by Alex Kava. What can you say when everything this author writes is awesome? I absolutely loved how this book had Maggie O'Dell play a huge part in it with Ryder. The only question I have is when are they going to hook up because I am really looking forward to that.
As for this book. It was the perfect wrap up of the story that started in Kava's previous book. So I would read that first even though this could be a stand alone the last book has a lot a good information. I loved everything about the book from the returning charters to the interesting dog information learned while reading. Kava has been one of my favorites since her first book grabbed my attention all those years ago and she has never disappointed since.
I am giving Reckless Creed five out of five stars.

Daisy in Chains: A Novel
He’s a serial killer. A murderer of young women, all killed in brutal attacks.
But despite Hamish Wolfe’s conviction, he’s always stuck to his story—he’s innocent and he’s been wrongly imprisoned. And now he wants someone to investigate and, more importantly, to write his story.
Maggie Rose is a notorious defense attorney and writer whose specialty is getting convictions overturned. At first, Maggie is reluctant to even acknowledge Hamish’s requests to meet, ignoring his letters. But this is a very charismatic and persuasive man, good-looking and intelligent.
Eventually even she can’t resist his lure…
Review: I was given a copy of Daisy in Chains from NetGalley for an honest review and this is my review.
This is one of those books that makes you walk away going WOW! I loved this book. At first I was not sure about it because it started a little slow but when it picked up I could not put it down. I will admit I started putting things together a bit earlier then I like but I still loved the book.
If you love psychological thrillers with some twists this is a must read. I am giving Daisy in Chains five out of five stars.

Still Waters (Faces of Evil: Private Eyes #2) by Debra Webb
Instead of reporting
the news, Amber Roberts is the news. Has the beautiful journalist
murdered someone she hardly knew or has she been brilliantly framed?
Evidence points to the former. Enter Sean Douglas, the hottest bodyguard
Amber's ever seen. But Amber is all about her career, and giving it up
for romance is unthinkable. Sean, she learns, has his own guilty reason
for keeping things professional. The last woman who trusted him ended up
dead. And now the same fate may await Amber, unless Sean can protect
her while guarding his heart. Because someone is watching and
terrorizing Amber…someone no one would suspect…
Review: I was given an ARC of Still Waters for an honest review and this is my review.
Still Waters is the second book of the Faces of Evil: Private Eyes spin off series and it did not have as much interaction with the Faces of Evil family as the first book did it was still very good and introduced some new characters. Amber Roberts is caused of killing a man she claims she hardly knows so she ends up going to Jess and Buddy's PI firm to get help. She is assigned their newest employee Sean Douglas to act as her bodyguard. Needless to say Amber's life is in danger unless Sean can protect her because the real killer is out there and they do not want to be found.
I really enjoyed this book and the attraction between Amber and Sean. I thought it was sweet how he kept trying to put his job before their attraction and do the honorable thing thing because of what happened with his last client. I also found myself guessing who the killer was then something would happen to mess up my guess then another curve would come at me and I would be like I should have seen that one.
This was another good Faces of Evil book so I am giving it five out of five stars.
