Book Beginnings + Friday 56: Knox (The Montana Marshalls #1) by Susan May Warren

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring the latest release from one of my favorite authors - Knox (The Montana Marshalls #1) by Susan May Warren. I can't even tell you how much I loved this book. It was so, so good!

About the Book
He's not looking for trouble...

Montana rancher Knox Marshall's danger years are behind him. A former bull-rider, he now runs the Marshall family ranch, raising champion bucking bulls for the National Professional Bullrider's Expo (NBR-X). Wealth and success are his, but life is stable, expected, and…ordinary.  But he wants more from life...

But trouble is looking for her...

Kelsey Jones just wants a safe life, a family, a home. Onstage, the beautiful rising star of the Yankee Belles becomes the person she longs to be - vivacious and confident - burying the brokenness she carries from a violent assault. Becoming NBR-X’s next country act is key to outrunning her past and achieving the success and security she craves.

When trouble finds them both...

Knox and Kelsey's paths collide when an explosion at an NBR-X event traps them in the rubble and leaves them reeling. Kelsey’s crippling nightmares return, but for Knox, an obsession to find the bomber is ignited.

What will it cost him to protect her? 

When Kelsey’s past threatens Knox’s family, he'll have to choose between saving the Marshall legacy or becoming the protector he's always longed to be.

The explosive first book in the Montana Marshall series!


Book Beginning
Oh goody, now Knox got to watch his troublemaking little brother break his ornery neck.

Friday 56
Tate stood outside the bathroom stall of the Twenty-Fourth Precinct. He was probably leaning against the sink, arms folded, but Knox had heard his brother stifling his own nausea when Detective Rayburn finally showed them the file.

Mini Review: Artificial Love by R.J. Conte

About the Book
Deep in the heart of the wild west, rebel marauders are drawing out a bloody civil war that no side can win. Many ranchers, including Lisbeth's father die trying to save their farms, leaving their women to fight to keep their land and stay alive.

When Lisbeth and her mousy younger sister Ruth come face to face with the uncouth land pirates who seize their farm as a scouting base, they only have one plan to protect their virtue: pretend to be commonplace, advanced domestic robots. Suppressing their fears, enslaved to the ruffians, the two young women are determined to convince the men they're not human.

Their plan hits a snag when they meet Dane: a gorgeous prisoner-of-war who has a secret belief that robots can become sentient and develop emotions on their own... and he's determined to use Lisbeth as proof.

Can the sisters keep up their ruse and survive?

For fans of The Twilight Zone meets Gone with the Wind and Magnificent Seven
 


My Thoughts

Artificial Love was great! It was a short read, taking me probably 30 minutes, but it packed a big punch. It was so unique, so original. And that ending! What a shocker! I'd love more stories set in this fascinating western steampunk world.

Can't Wait Wednesday: Wooing Cadie McCaffrey by Bethany Turner

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings that spotlights and discusses the books we're excited about that we've yet to read. Generally, they're books that are yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm featuring Wooing Cadie McCaffrey by Bethany Turner releasing May 21.

About the Book
After four years with her boyfriend, Cadie McCaffrey is thinking of ending things. Convinced Will doesn't love her in the "forever" way she loves him, Cadie believes it's time for her to let him go before life passes her by. When a misunderstanding leads to a mistake, leaving her hurt, disappointed, and full of regret, she finally sends him packing.

But for Will, the end of their relationship is only the beginning of his quest to figure out how to be the man Cadie wanted him to be. With the dubious guidance of his former pro-athlete work friends and tactics drawn from Cadie's favorite romantic comedies, Will attempts to win her back. It's a foolproof plan. What could possibly go wrong?

Bethany Turner is back with more of the heart and humor readers love. Anyone who enjoys a good romance or binges romantic comedies on Netflix will devour this delightful story.

Why I Need It
I absolutely adored Bethany Turner's previous novel, The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck, and have been waiting, rather impatiently, for a new one from her. Wooing Cadie McCaffrey sounds like so much fun and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!

What upcoming release are you excited about?

Review: Never Let Go (Uncommon Justice #1) by Elizabeth Goddard

About the Book
As a forensic genealogist, Willow Anderson is following in her late grandfather's footsteps in her quest for answers about a baby abducted from the hospital more than twenty years ago. The case may be cold, but things are about to heat up when someone makes an attempt on her life to keep her from discovering the truth.

Ex-FBI agent--and Willow's ex-flame--Austin McKade readily offers his help to protect the woman he never should have let get away. Together they'll follow where the clues lead them, even if it means Austin must face the past he's spent much of his life trying to forget. And even if it puts Willow's tender heart at risk.

In this fast-paced and emotional page-turner, bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard keeps the stakes high, the romantic tension sparking, and the outcome uncertain until the very end.


My Thoughts

Never Let Go was an exciting and intense nail-biter that was hard to put down. It features one of the most attention-grabbing prologues in recent memory. I was instantly invested in the story and had to reach the conclusion as quick as possible.

Willow's job as a forensic genealogist was so interesting. I loved learning about all that goes into that career. It's so fascinating!

This was the first book I've read by this author and wow, was it good or what! I'm anxious for the next book in the series! I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense.

Book Beginnings + Friday 56: A Meddled Match (Resort to Romance) by Jill Kemerer

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring the first novella in the Resort to Romance series - A Meddled Match by Jill Kemerer. I liked it a lot. It was a nice change from what I've been reading lately. 

About the Book
Get ready for ten weeks of romance in the Bahamas with a new series brought to you by some of the best authors in the inspirational and sweet romance genres…
 
Ten delightful - and standalone - novellas linked by one matchmaking week. You’ll want to devour each one!

A MEDDLED MATCH

Gavin Sterling wants no part of Matchmaking Week, but his eccentric great aunts insist he fill in for a no-show or he won't have a chance at inheriting their island resort. Surprisingly, his match intrigues him. Mollie is blunt, sassy, and best of all, has no idea he’s the son of a billionaire.
 
Mollie Macomb needs a relaxing vacation without the dating drama. A relationship with Gavin would never work in the real world, anyhow. He’s a gorgeous businessman. She's a quirky failure. But even the unlikeliest couple can find love during Matchmaking Week…

RESORT TO ROMANCE SERIES

It’s Matchmaking Week at an all-inclusive resort on a private island in the Bahamas. Each guest has been expertly paired and is here to enjoy one full week with their match. While there’s no money-back guarantee on the paid trip, the participants are guaranteed to find love!

Book Beginning
Gavin Sterling was not getting roped into Matchmaking Week. His great aunts could beg and plead and fake heart attacks all they wanted, but there was no way he was giving into their demands.

Friday 56
"You're awfully quiet." Mollie sat next to Gavin on the boat as it sped out to the nearby reefs. Water sprayed up and the engine made it hard to hear. But she didn't need to listen to his reply to know he was upset. "Is something wrong?"

Early Review: Romanov by Nadine Brandes

About the Book
From the author of Fawkes comes a magical take on the story of Anastasia Romanov.

The history books say I died.

They don’t know the half of it.

Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single mission: to smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in Siberia. It might be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them . . . and he’s hunted Romanov before.

Nastya’s only chances of saving herself and her family are either to release the spell and deal with the consequences, or to enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya’s only dabbled in magic, but it doesn’t frighten her half as much as her growing attraction for Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might even like her . . .

That is, until she’s on one side of a firing squad . . . and he’s on the other.


My Thoughts

I absolutely loved Romanov! I was completely captivated from word one and couldn't get enough of it. I got so frustrated when real life interrupted my reading and let me tell ya', it got interrupted quite often. But once things settled down and I was able to hunker down and read to my heart's content, I flew through the pages. It was utterly compelling. The seamless way Brandes weaved the magical element in with the actual history was brilliant.

I hate to admit this, but I didn't know a whole lot about the Romanovs before this book. Though, you can be sure that through the course of reading this novel, I looked up information, did more research, and quickly became fascinated by the actual history behind this historical fantasy. I love when fiction does that! Some of my favorite novels are ones that teach me new things, lead me to new interests, and make me want to learn.

This is a book that's definitely going on my favorites list. It was beautiful and, yet, heartbreaking. There were times I was laughing so hard at Anastasia's mischievous antics and then tearing up, heartbroken, over the cruelty of what was happening to the Romanov family.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.

About the Book
Deceiving an empire is a treacherous game.

Tanwen and the Corsyth weavers race to collect the strands of an ancient cure that might save Gryfelle. But Tanwen has a secret—Gryfelle isn’t the only one afflicted by the weaver's curse.

As Queen Braith struggles to assert her rule, a new arrival throws her tenuous claim to the Tirian throne into question. Braith’s heart is turned upside down, and she’s not sure she can trust anyone—least of all herself.

The puppet master behind Gareth’s rise to power has designs on Tanwen and the story weavers and will stop at nothing to reclaim the throne. A plot to incite the angry peasants of Tir takes shape, and those dearest to Tanwen will be caught in the crossfire. As the fight for Tir consumes the realm, no one can remain innocent.


Why I Need It
I absolutely loved the first book in this series and have been anxiously awaiting the sequel. The magic system is really interesting and the characters are great. Plus, I can't forget to mention the awesome cover!

Review: Attempt to Locate (Lantern Beach P.D. #2) by Christy Barritt

About the Book
A deadly trio of robbers. A missing woman. A community in crisis.
  
A fun girls’ night out turns into a nightmare when armed robbers barge into the store where Cassidy and her friends are shopping. As the situation escalates and the men escape, a massive manhunt launches on Lantern Beach to apprehend the dangerous trio.

In the midst of the chaos, a potential foe asks for Cassidy’s help. He needs to find his sister who fled from the secretive Gilead’s Cove community on the island. But the more Cassidy learns about the seemingly untouchable group, the more her unease grows.

The pressure to solve both cases continues to mount. But as the gravity of the situation rises, so does the danger. Cassidy is determined to protect the island and break up the cult . . . but doing so might cost her everything.

***Attempt to Locate is the second book in the new Lantern Beach P.D. series. Each novel contains a standalone mystery, but several overarching mysteries stretch throughout the entire series.***

***Free for Kindle Unlimited Users***

Other Books in the Lantern Beach P.D. series:
On the Lookout
Attempt to Locate
First Degree Murder (coming in March)


My Thoughts

The second in the Lantern Beach P.D. Series, Attempt to Locate starts the suspense right off the bat, keeps the intrigue going and the stakes high until the thrilling conclusion.

A lot's going on around Lantern Beach. They're still dealing with Gilead's Cove, the cult that's recently made the island their home. Plus, a dangerous trio of robbers that's been terrorizing the Outer Banks have just made their way to town.

There was a crossover from one of Barritt's other series that I absolutely loved! It was great seeing this character again and interacting with the Lantern Beach bunch.

Attempt to Locate was another exciting and suspenseful mystery from Christy Barritt. I'm so glad I don't have long until the next book is released. I can't wait!

Book Beginning (From the Prologue - 21 years before)
Nursing scrubs? Check. White sneakers? Check. Keycard? Check.
Calm, even breathing? Nope.
She had everything she needed to get in and out quickly. The plan seemed so easy. Too easy. Then why did her heart pound against her rib cage until it ached? Why did her pulse roar in her ears as she walked the sterile hallway, heading for the maternity ward?

Friday 56
Growing up, Austin had spent as much time as he could in these woods, pretending he was someone else. Pretending he was safe.

Review: Beauty and the Clockwork Beast by Nancy Campbell Allen

About the Book
When Lucy Pickett arrives at Blackwell Manor to tend to her ailing cousin, Kate, she finds more than she bargained for. A restless ghost roams the hallways, werewolves have been reported in the area, and vampires lurk across the Scottish border.

Lord Miles himself is clearly hiding a secret. He is brash and inhospitable and does not take kindly to visitors—even one as smart and attractive as Miss Pickett. He is unsettled by the mysterious deaths of his new wife, Clara, and his sister, Marie. Could Miles himself be to blame for the deaths?

Working together, Miles and Lucy attempt to restore peace to Blackwell Manor. But can Lucy solve the mystery of Miles? Can she love the man—beast and all?


My Thoughts

This was such a fun steampunk retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I love fairy tale retellings and I love steampunk, so I was pretty sure this was gonna be a winner. And it was! It's the perfect mashup. There's vampires, werewolves, and ghosts – a paranormal combination that I enjoy so much. And it was seamlessly integrated into a fascinating steampunk setting.

The characters were great. Miles was dark and brooding with an air of mystery about him, yet with a heart of gold. He's the type of leading man that I just can't resist. Lucy was a little too perfect, but not annoyingly so, at least for me. I'd usually find her type of character irritating, but for some reason I didn't this time. I liked her. She was the perfect match for Miles.

Filled with mystery, suspense, fun gadgets, and a clean romance in a Gothic atmosphere, Beauty and the Clockwork Beast was a complex story that I couldn't have enjoyed more. I highly recommend it and can't wait to start book two.

Review: Between Shifts (The City Between #2) by W.R. Gingell

About the Book
There’s a body beneath the skip bins. Fae on the forklift. A vampire in the manager’s office. And there’s definitely something skeevy going on in the locker rooms.

Hi. I’m Pet. Well, not exactly Pet. I am a pet.

I was meant to stay out of it, but somebody’s gotta do something when humans are being killed by Behindkind creatures.

Lucky for me, my owners are just as dangerous and inhuman as the bad guys...

…maybe more.
 




My Thoughts

Between Shifts was so much fun! It's the second book in The City Between series and was another wonderfully weird tale. I can't get enough of this crazy world and quirky characters.

Pet and her affectionately named “three psychos” are back and trying to solve a string of murders that have happened near the supermarket they frequent. The mystery was really well done. I had my suspicions, but wasn't certain until just before the reveal.

One of the things I've really loved about this series is that it's a clean read. There's no bad language or steamy scenes which is often hard to find in this favorite genre of mine. It's something I'd happily recommend to everyone who enjoys this type of story. Definitely start with book one though!

Review: Convergence by Ginny L. Yttrup

About the Book
A psychologist paralyzed by fear.

A mother propelled by love.

A stalker bent on destruction.


Psychology professor Dr. Denilyn Rossi contends that the past is either a shadow that haunts us or a force that propels us. The choice is ours, she tells her students. What she doesn’t tell them is that her own past is a shadow she can’t seem to shake. Fear has immobilized her and is taking a costly toll.

Adelia Sanchez, however, has embraced Dr. Rossi’s teaching. She is ready to confront fear and render it powerless—using the trauma of her past to propel her to entrap the man who stalked and brutally attacked her.

As Denilyn’s past and Adelia’s present converge at the Kaweah River, a dangerous man bent on destruction threatens them both. Will he uncover the secret Deni and Adelia have fought so hard to protect?


My Thoughts

What an exciting read! This story had my complete and full attention from beginning to end. The nail-biting suspense had my heart pounding and anxiety skyrocketing. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. And then came a mind-blowing revelation that left me stunned. I had to set my Kindle down for a little while to digest it all and when I picked it back up I was turning the pages even faster than before. It was a brilliant suspense!

Following Denilyn and Adelia, it goes back and forth between the two POVs and the past and present. I really had to pay attention to the dates at the top of the chapters so I wouldn't get confused where I was or who I was with. In the beginning, I did find myself enjoying one of the POVs more than the other.

This was my first time reading a book by this author and it certainly won't be the last. It was an incredible multi-layered suspense that I'm going to be thinking about for a long time. I highly recommend!

Review: Between Jobs (The City Between #1) by W.R. Gingell

About the Book
When you get up in the morning, the last thing you expect is to see a murdered guy hanging outside your window. Things like that tend to draw the attention of the local police, and when you’re squatting in your parents’ old house until you can afford to buy it, another thing you can’t afford is the attention of the cops.

Oh yeah. Hi. My name is Pet.

It’s not my real name, but it’s the only one you’re getting. Things like names are important these days.

And it’s not so much that I’m Pet.

I’m a pet.

A human pet: I belong to the two Behindkind fae and the pouty vampire who just moved into my house. It’s not weird, I promise—well, it’s weird, yeah. But it’s not weird weird, you know?



My Thoughts

Wow, just, wow! This book was utterly unique and so, so good. I don't even know how to begin to describe my thoughts on it.

It's a dark and gritty urban fantasy set in Australia. I loved the setting, the world building, the characters, the writing. I pretty much loved everything about it. Well, except that it ended. ;)

Pet was a great narrator. She's likable, quirky, sassy, and is constantly getting into some kind of mischief. She tells the story as if she's telling it to a close friend.

I was happily lost in this book. And, yeah, I was lost on numerous occasions, but that was part of the fun of this novel, I think. I was discovering things right alongside Pet. I'm anxious to get my hands on the sequel. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves urban fantasy.
