THE KEY TO KRISTINA

Author: Joan Reeves

AVAILABLE at Amazon
Kindle Unlimited


Her father never gave her anything but a hard time—until he died and left Kristina a key. But a key to what?

A suspicious death. An inheritance. A mysterious ally. A shifty lawyer. A mystery. A key and a clue. A romance. A Quest that may be the adventure of a lifetime. None of that is what Kristina Rivera expects when she arrives for her appointment with a Houston lawyer. She thinks she's there to gather her father's possessions because he's probably been sent to jail again.

Instead, she meets Wyatt Morgan who’s also there at the lawyer’s request. She’s stunned when Morgan introduces himself as the Executor of her father’s estate. Shocked by this revelation, Kristina is grief-stricken, confused, and angry. Her father didn't have two nickels to rub together. Why would he write a will? Life has taught Kristina to initially distrust everyone and every situation, and this situation is beyond her comprehension.

With the aid of Wyatt Morgan, a man whose business seems to be fighting lost causes, Kristina undertakes The Quest, designed by her father, to find his hidden treasure. More than her legacy will be revealed, and danger stalks her every mile of her journey as she tries to discover what The Key To Kristina means.

Reviews
Oooh, a road-trip story, Texas style!

I just finished The Key to Kristina by Joan Reeves and wanted to do a quick review while my thoughts are fresh. Ms. Reeves is not a new author to me--she has quite a backlist from which I’ve indulged--so I expected a good, solid story, but wow! This was great! Maybe my favorite of all her books, and that’s saying something.

The Key to Kristina is a simmering, not-until-it’s-ready, slow-burn romance, one of my favorite kinds. No “insta-love” here. Thankfully. It helps that the main characters Kristina and Wyatt are relatable, worth getting to know as a reader, as they get to know each other. Add to that a clever and intriguing mystery, and you’ve got the whole package. Yum!

Love Stories

A Box Set of 3 Romances


Author: Bonnie Edwards

AVAILABLE at Amazon
Kindle Unlimited


Three warmhearted, well-loved, spicy standalone romances in one set. Love family stories? Meet three unique and memorable kinds of family! Love in a Pawn Shop: A pit bull, a pawn shop and a pain-in-the-butt kid brother. . .

Dix is good with two out of three. She's had it with dusty shelves, desperate people and her teenage brother. With Riley about to graduate, Dix is ready to buy her one-way ticket to Paris.

Then sexy cop Dane Caldwell walks into her store on the hunt for stolen goods, and threatens her brother and her business.

The worst threat is to Dix's heart...if she loses that, she loses her dream.

Dane soon realizes he's found love in a pawn shop. Even the pit bull thinks he's okay. Now all he has to do is convince Dix that love is more than just another complication.

Sweet Ride: Katie Calhoun can multi-task like a pro. She can run a business, manage her life, and nurse her mentor back to health all at the same time. But as far as family goes...well, that's outside her comfort zone. Her years in the foster system taught her it was best to bail when things got emotional. So when her mentor's sexy nephew shows up, making her feel all the messy emotions she's always tried so hard to avoid, Katie is thrown for a loop. This can't possibly end happily...can it?

Hotshot banker Jace Donner doesn't want emotional entanglements, either. He just landed his dream job in Switzerland, but wouldn't feel right about leaving the country without first helping his stubborn uncle get back on his feet. And he's especially not leaving without learning everything there is to know about the feisty Katie, who may or may not be a gold digger out to make off with the family silver.

It's not long before Jace realizes there's more to Katie than meets the eye--and everything he learns about her only makes him want to know more. Now all he has to do is convince Katie to let down her defenses and give him a chance to prove that happy endings can actually happen...

Like An Angel: A runaway New York heiress lands in the middle of a Canadian prairie…it might as well be OZ…

Andi Morrison needs to unplug and unwind, but this farm is not where she wants to hide out. Being forced to stay and pretend she’s a foster mom is way out of her comfort zone.

But sexy foster dad Brice Logan needs a woman bad and even though Andi is a rebel in high heels, she’s the only woman he’s got. He has to make her stay long enough to be able to keep his foster family together.

The children are sweet, their foster dad is sexy but Andi has never been needed a day in her life. How can she cope with all the things they need? She’s not a cook, not a mommy, and certainly not the saving grace they seem to think she is.

But soon, Brice sees he needs more than Andi’s help. He needs her everything.

Caught in a sweet, sexy romance neither of them expected Brice and Andi learn that opposites attract. For Andi, being polar opposites makes love hard and staying in the Great White North even harder.

Reviews
Love isn’t always easy. Love is an about romance in all the time. Love can be hard and cruel and funny. This author took three different stories and three each story you saw the hardships of how love can be. It can be funny at times and heartbreaking at times. We can be on the road we think is right and find out there’s something better for us if we look closer. Enjoy this book I did

When In Rome

A Brooke & Abby Cozy Mystery Book 2


Author: S. R. Mallery

AVAILABLE at Amazon
Kindle Unlimited


BOOK #2 OF THE AWARD WINNING Brooke & Abby cozy mystery series, where clues from the past help solve modern murder cases.

Why does Abby tarot card her way back to Ancient Rome when there’s no need to? After all, the recent death in town has been declared by the local pathologist to be simply an accidental, epileptic tragedy and nothing more. Or is it?

Follow the Gang of Five, as Abby time-travels to the Age of Emperors, Brooke learns to follow her heart, Henry studies old antiquities, detectives Tony and Larry continue their police work, and Brooke’s niece, Haley, joins their ranks––just in time to learn a most valuable lesson: things aren’t always what they seem…

Reviews
S.R. Mallery has always been one of my favorite historical fiction authors but now she’s quickly becoming my favorite cozy mystery writer as well. Brooke and Abby are back and I couldn’t be more excited! As with book one in the series, there’s a murder to investigate, but this one isn’t so clear-cut. An actor dies, supposedly from forgetting to take his medication, but soon the team realizes that he had far too many enemies among his fellow crew members and that his past wasn’t all that squeaky clean. But who would want him dead and why?

Once again, Ms. Mallery employs a time travel device that quickly transformed a cozy mystery into something even more fascinating. Through her characters’ eyes (one character - sorry, no spoilers!) we get to explore an Ancient Roman court full of intrigues and conspiracies. There will be a crime committed here too, but will it offer any clues or something else will? You’ll need to read it to find out.

Just on Porpoise

Hetta Coffey Series Book 12

Kindle Unlimited

Hetta Coffey is a sassy Texan with a snazzy yacht, and she's not afraid to use it!

Hetta, her dog, and parrot—along with a band of zany friends and frenemies—make for one rousing adventure after another.

In Mexico’s Sea of Cortez, an endangered species is on the very precipice of total extinction, but taking on a vicious cartel to save a little porpoise might be a mite on the difficult side. Can they do it?

The clock is ticking.

Reviews
The story is rich with detail and adventure, of course. There are moments of humor, but this book has a serious tone that it deserves, and I am as drawn to it as a vaquita is to a squid. Learning about these beautiful little porpoises was a real thrill. I wanted to be there in person so badly, to help, and to watch and be part of the big operation. I love the sea, but must live vicariously through Hetta’s expert handling of a large motor yacht and her willingness to lend her dearest friends a hand at any time. Adventure, often danger, and always good rewards come to those who read Jinx Schwartz’s amazing books. I wish even greater rewards for the sweet-faced little vaquita, and I intend to find out more about these beautiful little porpoises, our mammalian friends in the sea.

They paid a lot of money for is a fake

And who wanted to have a relationship with him,
That he wasn’t interested.
Our pasts have a way of catching up with us.
Maybe it was just Carl’s time.

Caterer River Holloway cooks like a dream and is known on Shell Island as a “finder” of things. Which is why a desperate mother begs River to track down her grown son, Chili Bolz, who’s vanished.

Deputy Lance Hamlyn can’t find the missing man, so he teams up with River. The missing person case boils over into something frightening when Chili’s mother falls victim to a brutal assault. Worse, her dying words incriminate River’s friends in both kidnapping and, now, murder. River soon finds herself caught in an unsavory recipe for disaster.

Despite catering events and the return of her absentee boyfriend, River finds the number of suspects growing longer than her food shopping list. Along the way she befriends a black cat who becomes her crime-solving partner. River must locate Chili and discover who killed his mother before her own goose is quite literally cooked.

Reviews

What starts out as a missing person case, turns into murder. Not to worry, River is on the case, and between a smorgasbord of potential suspects and a menu of dishes, I was riveted to the end.

Big Man on Campus

Big Men on Campus Book 1


Author: Stephanie Queen

AVAILABLE at Amazon
Kindle Unlimited


Jack

They say I'm a troubled kid, labeled a bad-boy jock for my rebel attitude. You'd think at St. Paul University that label would put me at the top of the watch list for expulsion, or at least be a death sentence to my social life.

But no.

In truth, I should be a pariah, but I'm not.

I'm the BMOC because I'm the starting quarterback of the prized football team. After last season's bowl game victory, I could be Voldemort and I'd still get the champagne treatment.

But who cares? Because the one girl on this campus I want doesn't give a sh*t about football. She thinks bad boys are, well, bad.

Worst of all, she's my nemesis from back home.

It's messed up that I'm stuck on Joni, because she's the biggest threat to my goal of winning the Heisman Trophy. It kills me that she's also a hot tamale as my grandpa would say. If he were still alive.

Losing grandpa started my trouble.

Being with Joni could ruin me. Or it could save me.

All I need to do is convince her she's not my enemy…

Reviews
Fantastic start to the Big Man On Campus series with a sizzling college sports enemies-to-lovers romance that immediately drew me in and kept me totally involved in all that was happening through the entire book. The characters were realistic and I rooted for them through all the emotions and just couldn't put the book down because I had to know what was going to happen. If you enjoy bad boy college romance, don't miss "Big Man on Campus". I received an advance reader copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Besides writing, she loves UConn basketball, NFL football, kittens and hanging out with friends and fellow readers in real life and on Facebook talking about books, romance and life.

She goes to the gym. More or less. She is the president of her local Chocoholics Anonymous chapter (after a long-standing denial and spectacular failure to control her permanent addiction).

"Living on a lake in New Hampshire with my husband and having our two grown sons nearby, while I write romance novels is a dream come true--except for the lack of grandkids... so far."

Author Description:
My protagonist for the Dead Red Mystery series is a tall, blond ex-model turned crop-duster who, to quote Lalla Bains, has "been married so many times they oughta revoke my license."

Lalla is no Danielle Steele character & she's not afraid of chipping her manicure. Scratch that, the girl doesn't have time for a manicure what with herding recalcitrant pilots and juggling work orders just to keep her father's flagging business alive.

And beginning with A Dead Red Alibi, Lalla and family move to South East Arizona where she and cousin, Pearlie Bains, will continue to their hard earned license as Wishbone, Arizona's tenaciously annoying blonde P.I.s.

A Dead Red Cadillac
A Dead Red Heart
A Dead Red Oleander
A Dead Red Alibi
A Dead Red Miracle
A Dead Red Gamble
A Dead Red Horse Thief-coming late 2019

My romantic suspense books are also on Kindle: A Dangerous Harbor, and Hurricane Hole. If you liked my Lalla Bains series, I know you'll love these books: More romance, more suspense, and in an exotic location with nastier bad guys and a bald parrot!

sequel to A Dangerous Harbor. This will be the 2nd in a sailing mystery trilogy. It will be published sometime this summer
