REVIEW

Peril by Kat Martin

Blood Ties: The Logans #3.5

 Three authors tackled the story of bad guys on the run that end up in three different towns creating trouble and putting three young women at risk before the criminals are finally dealt with.

 REDEMPTION by Alexandra Ivy

Tessa Ralston has spent five years investigating cold cases while following the trail of the killer that took the life of her police partner in Denver. When a tip comes in that Deke will be in Denver, she soon flies out of Wisconsin to Denver hoping to bring Deke Mitchell to justice. Detective Ian Sullivan is eagerly waiting for Tessa’s arrival as he still has feelings for her and hopes they might get a second chance for a HEA. First, though, they have a killer to find and bring to justice…if they can.

 RESCUE – HERO STYLE by Rebecca Zanetti

Ella Riverton is getting over Caden Scott at the Cattle Club when he reappears. Caden has determined that Ella and he are meant to be together and is ready to make it happen only to have Deke and his criminal cohort show up in town, make life more difficult and put Ella at risk. In this one I became curious about the men who run the Cattle Club and wondered if Ms Zanetti might have a series out about them in the future.

 ONE LAST KISS by Kat Martin

This starts out as a lost/spoiled little rich girl being sent to learn what is important by working to inherit what her uncle has for her. It sounded familiar and I felt I had read it before, and I had. It was just as good this time as the last and saw Libby remembering parts of her past while learning what she really valued in life as she fell in love with Sam Bridger. In this novella the remaining bad guys are finally receive their comeuppance with the aid of some interesting characters that I would gladly read about in spinoff stories of their own.

 The three stories segue together nicely with a satisfying conclusion and all three stories in the collection were a joy to read.

 Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington-Zebra for the book – This is my honest review.

 IN THE PATH OF A KILLER . . .When a cop killer resurfaces in Denver, enlisting the help of a pair of local lowlifes, it marks the beginning of a violent crime spree that will wreak havoc and endanger lives. Law enforcement is on alert from the first sighting of the cold-blooded trio. To take down this brutal gang, only those willing to risk everything they hold dear stand a chance . . . First, a pair of Denver police officers facing each other for the first time after one night of abandon find themselves working together to stop an ambitious bank heist. In Wyoming, a string of robberies marks the gang's arrival, and the local sheriff springs into action when the criminals discover his estranged fiancée can identify them. Finally, in the mountains of Colorado, the gang takes shelter on a peaceful guest ranch, where a fiercely protective rancher is hellbent on roping the fugitives up for good. Trusting their sharply honed instincts, three rugged men will fight to stop the rampage before the women they'd die for become the next victims . . .

Anyone know of good sites to post writing to? Like I know people can do it for tumblr, but it wouldn’t be fanfiction. It’d be like, my own original work, my own characters and story. Is wattpad still popular? Ao3 is a fanfic site too, right - so not one for original work? 😅🙃 as you can tell I’m a little perplexed by the options. Thanks!

Ps: my story is a romantic suspense novel, featuring mid 20s characters. One’s witnessed a crime, the other is the lead detective trying to solve the case. Obviously sparks fly ���🫦👁

REVIEW

High Intensity by Freya Barker

High Mountain Trackers (HMT 2G)

Exciting, immersive, wonderful story that swept me up and took me away ~ Great Escape!

What I liked: * Returning to Montana and the High Mountain Trackers

* Jillian: dog handler, tracker, divorced, has an RN license, lost someone that left a hole in her heart, ready for a change so moves to Libby, level-headed, protective, caring, rather intrigued with Lucas

* Lucas: ex-FBI, disillusioned, loves working with the HMT team, strong, intelligent, professional, living his dream, confirmed bachelor, loving son, rather taken with Jillian

* Mimi: Lucas’s mother, a cardsharp, character, fun, loving, kind, someone I wouldn’t mind being someday

* Hayley Vallard: eleven years old, only survivor of a plane crash and subject of intensive search by HMT, strong, resilient, found an advocate in Jillian and a friend in Nugget the support dog

* Sloane: detective, married to Dan, mother of Aspen, one reason Jillian moved, good friend, has a surprise in this story

* The plot, pacing, setting and writing

* The mystery’s resolution of why the plane crashed and the reason for it

* Jackson: ex-military, amputee, wise, opening up a bit, would like to find out who he ends up with

* JD and Dr. Janey Richards – I can’t wait for their story and it is up next – loved the peek provided at the end of this book

* Jillian’s pack: Hunter, Murphy, Emo, Peanut and Nugget

* All of it really except…

What I didn’t like: * Who and what I was meant not to like

* Knowing that there are some people as evil as the ones in this story

Did I like this book? Yes

Would I read more in this series? Definitely

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB

Dog trainer and handler, Jillian Lederman, is moving with her pack to Libby, Montana, a place where she has made friends and hopes to find a fresh start. It's time. For years, she's just been keeping her wounds fresh by staying in Missoula—where there were regular reminders of all she's lost—while the rest of the world has continued to move forward. Perhaps the new house, the beautiful mountains, and a certain pair of clear, blue eyes hold the promise of new beginnings. 

Since changing careers years ago, former FBI agent Lucas Wolff has found a much better work-life balance as a member of High Mountain Trackers. Still able to serve his community, he has also been carving out a comfortable existence for himself and is not looking to make any changes to it anytime soon. Not even for a particular bold and ballsy redhead he's been trying to avoid.

That turns out to be an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sets both of them on the trail of a young girl, all alone in the mountains. But it soon becomes evident they are not the only ones looking, and staying safe means sticking close together.
