In His Frozen Heart (Brewers Brothers Book 1) by Nancy Straight, Candy and Libby are two young women who have been friends for a very long time, sharing all of their secrets and dreams with each other. When Candy’s parents move away, Libby is thrilled to move in, but the girls struggle to meet their bills and keep their refrigerator full. Libby is an extremely good pool player and they use that skill to earn money by playing in bars and making bets that they know they will win. This works well for them until one fateful night when they bilk the wrong players. Candy and Libby suddenly find themselves as victims because the men they took four hundred dollars from want to kill them. The girls get followed, beat up, hurt and scared. When Candy is forced to search out Dave, an old friend from high school, thinking he was Mark (the possible bad guy of the story) and the look-alike brother that she didn’t know of, she is surprised to find Dave a very different person than she remembered. While Libby is in the hospital, Larry, an old flame, sits by her side day and night. While both girls face awful things, they also find out they have many friends who really care about them and men who love them.
His Frozen Heart (Brewers Brothers Book 1) by Nancy Straight is a book that is impossible to put down. It starts slowly but quickly heats up to suspense, excitement and romance. His Frozen Heart has it all: suspense, mystery, adventure, true friendship and love. Nancy Straight has given us a new set of friends that we cheered for, worried about and want to meet again really soon. I cannot wait for the next book in the Brewer Brothers series to be released. His Frozen Heart will keep you reading long into the night and interfere with your chores because it is so hard to put down. His Frozen Heart is a perfect read for everyone and I believe it is headed for the top of the best seller list.

Reviewed by Heather Osborne for Readers' Favorite
The Boys Club by Angie Martin is a fast-paced thriller with a touch of romance. Gabe Logan has never been on the right side of the law until at age fifteen he’s offered a chance at turning his life around by a man named Jim Schaffer. Schaffer specializes in working jobs that other law enforcement organizations will not touch. He trains Logan to be one of the best. Then, a job comes along bringing an old nemesis back into Logan’s life, someone who took away Logan’s dearest possession. The daughter of this man, Sara Langston, is wanted by the FBI to testify against her father. Sara has been placed into an arranged marriage to further the career of one of her father’s employees, his right hand man. Will Logan be able to get Sara safely away from the controlling man, or will all the plans fall to pieces?
I really enjoyed reading The Boys Club. The characters were very well-written and relatable. I loved that each had flaws they struggled to overcome. Sara was my particular favorite, and I wanted to know more about her relationship with her mother. The story flowed beautifully, with just the right amount of twists and turns. I thought there could have been a bit more detail about how Logan gains Sara’s trust, but that was really my only possible criticism about the novel. I hope Miss Martin plans to write a sequel because I would very much like to see where the story would go from here. The Boys Club by Angie Martin is a brilliant read, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a bit of thriller and suspense.

Sink into a novel of mystery and suspense with a bit of romance thrown in for good measure as Inge-Lise Goss takes you through the murky depths of the oil and gas industry and reveals The Cost of Crude. Gwynn is devastated when Julie, her best friend and colleague at the Wilton Oil & Gas Company, dies in a car accident. It soon becomes apparent that it was no accident and that is confirmed when a private investigator, Ruben Dordi, turns up at her apartment. His team is investigating a string of suspicious deaths, all of employees who worked for Wilton. Hired by Julie’s grandmother to determine who killed her, part of his job is to keep Gwynn safe. She suddenly finds herself being watched by the people who killed her friend and her life is in danger. But that doesn’t stop her trying to determine what happened and why. Gwynn’s life is thrown into compete turmoil as she falls in love with Ruben, tries to stay safe, and discovers a heinous plot to cause a destructive “accident” with a major gas pipeline. Can she and Ruben’s team solve things before anyone else has to die or will they be too late?
Wow! The Cost of Crude by Lise-Inge Goss is an amazing thriller, full of mystery, suspense, romance and so many twists and turns it was hard to keep up at first. However, I soon sank into the story as it grabbed hold and wouldn’t let me go until it was all over. There were a number of different characters in the book with a lot of activity going on – what I would call a busy book. But, all the pieces do fall into place and all becomes clear. There is a neat little twist at the end and an unexpected person in the frame – and that’s all I will say except I hope to read more from Ms. Goss in the very near future.

A House without Windows by Stevie Turner is the story of Dr. Beth Nichols who was held captive for ten years together with her daughter, Amy, who was born in captivity. Shortly after she fell pregnant with her fiancé Liam's child, Beth was kidnapped by an ex-patient, with little hope of escaping. Pregnant again with her stalker Edwin's child, she managed to get away when she was taken to the hospital to give birth. The story is told from different perspectives and is narrated in both first person and third person. The book starts with Amy’s perspective where we find out about the house (room) where the two are kept locked and their daily routine through an innocent child's eyes. In Beth’s story we find out more about the kidnapping and how she managed to escape. From Liam’s perspective we learn that he is torn apart between his new life with his partner and their toddler, Toby, and the hope of being reunited with the love of his life and their ten-year-old daughter of whom he knew nothing. Later on in the book, we get to read Edwin’s perspective as well as Joss’, all leading to one question: will Beth get a second chance to live her life surrounded by loved ones?
I enjoyed reading A House without Windows from different perspectives as Turner captures perfectly the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters. Amy’s perspective is heart breaking as the captivity is the only reality that she knew at her age. The book keeps readers interested throughout and, as the perspectives change, you want to know more about each character and how the story will come together in the end. The book has all the ingredients of a good read: positive characters, a villain, suspense, authentic dialogues and a narrative style that keeps readers interested to the very end.

George Burden seems like the average successful upper middle class man who has made a good life for himself and his family. Confession is George's tale of four days in his life during which he is forced to confront the truth about himself, his relationship with his wife and family, and the path of his life. Carried away by the love he feels for a young woman with whom he is having an affair, George loses his connection to common sense as he tries to convince her to marry him. A trip to his beach home with this woman's brother turns into an intense confrontation between George, his conscience, and the depths to which he has sunken to indulge his lust. Richard Freis brings Confession to an amazing ending which provides a push to contemplate what makes life worth living.
With fantastic imagery, descriptions, and psychological insight, Richard Freis tells an engrossing story of one man's loss of perspective and common sense when confronted with a love affair that becomes all-consuming. Confession is aptly titled since the entire story is George Burden's accounting of his sins in relation to an affair and the incredible circumstances his pursuit of this young woman bring about in a four-day period leading up to his 55th birthday. George's heart and mind open to scrutiny. Everything that has made him who he is is brought to light as he confronts the reality in which he finds himself at this turning point in his life. This is a riveting story that details the depths of human passion, frailty, and hope and celebrates the choice of surviving in spite of tremendous despair.

Exile Hunter by Preston Fleming is the third book in the Kamas Trilogy and begins in 2023, the near future for us and one year before the revolt. America is a dystopian society ruled by a tyrannical President for life, a Dictator. Warren Linder has become a scapegoat for the regime and is sent to an Arctic labor camp. He is determined, however, and manages to escape and make his move to take the woman he cares about most away from the reach of the regime.
Nothing like a good spy novel to get your blood pumping while you’re reading a book. I am always a little leery about books that have dystopian societies, but I couldn’t resist reading this one after I saw the jacket for it. While part of a series, Exile Hunter is certainly also able to stand on its own and is a fantastic read, with a main character to whom I felt very connected. You are rooting for Linder the whole time and you feel for his journey; you want him to win; he is the hero. For me, while the story was completely different, I was rooting for Linder as much as I rooted for Jason Bourne. Preston Fleming has a skill with his writing that makes it vivid and entertaining to the reader. You get a sense of adventure, suspense and urgency all rolled into the words of this book. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who loves spy novels. I will be going back to read the others in the series.

So what do two cops, two actors and a reporter have to do with each other? Absolutely everything. In this fast-paced crime drama (with plenty of romance thrown in) you'll find all five and they will definitely surprise you with their antics. The story of a struggling actress desperate to make it no matter what and a cop who gives his all for the job has many strange twists you wouldn't see coming. Not only that but the action is enough to keep you turning pages for as long as it takes you to finish the book.
I really liked the way the author was able to make the characters come alive. With so much happening throughout the book the author still managed to make each character have their own personality and their own thoughts. The lead-ins from one point-of-view to the other were very smooth so that it was easy to understand who was talking and who was thinking what at any given time. I thought that Kate and Sam definitely made a great impression and they were very relatable characters. In this story not everyone is who you thought they were and they do not fall into the stereotypes either. Each character is distinctly different from what probably popped into your mind when I rattled off the career paths. In fact, the bad guy is someone you would never suspect. But of course I don't want to give too much away. Suffice it to say that I'm definitely interested in reading the next book in this series.
