Maryann Jordan’s book, Gabe, in her Alvarez Security Series is sexy and enticing. Yet she beautifully incorporates a truly compassionate addition to the storyline. Jordan’s lead female character, Jennifer, may be a very petite woman, but she is a powerhouse. When she meets alpha male, Gabe, her world begins to tilt sideways.

Cate Beauman's Answers For Julie is an emotionally charged book that will leave you breathless. Chase Rider is finally going back home to Washington after his grandmother, Nana, passes away. He needs to go back, go through her things, and possible put her house on the market. Hopefully, he can do it in as little time as possible and head back to work in Los Angeles without running into Julie Keller, the woman who broke his heart. Julie Keller has known Chase all her life and, at one point, hoped for the rest of her life. Bad choices during a difficult time led to them being separated, but now that he is back in Washington maybe they can be friends again. At least that's what she hopes until fate throws her a curve ball that she's not prepared to deal with. As her world is turned upside down, Chase and their relationship are the only things she knows. Chase steps back into Julie's life to help her make sense of her new world and refuses to leave until he has answers...answers that could change everything.
I have loved suspenseful romance novels ever since I picked up Harlequin's Intrigue monthly novels. While those books are short and lead straight to the point, Cate Beauman's novel is more in depth and takes the tale from the past to the present. The build-up to the climax is moving and the resolution leaves the reader in a blissful state of contentment. It is a stand alone novel, but at the same time, characters from the other books make an appearance which invites the reader to read the others in the series, if they haven't done so already. I fully enjoyed every minute of the book and, while reading, I got blissfully lost in Julie and Chase's world. This is a lovely book for those who love romance with suspense. A book I would gladly pick up to read again and again.

Dangerous is a romantic suspense thriller written by Lorrie Farrelly. It's set in Central California in a small town called Chima Valley. Cam Starrett is a former LAPD officer who's seen too much misery and is making a fresh start for himself as the new sheriff. On his way into town, he comes across a truck with a horse trailer overturned in a ditch, and he can hear a horse screaming from inside the trailer. As he approaches the scene, he sees Merry Hayden, a young woman, attempting to reach the trapped driver. After the stressful events leading to the arrival of the police and emergency vehicles, the two somehow find themselves passionately kissing. As they've both had disastrous romantic histories, this is an embarrassing and awkward position for each of them, especially when they realize they're living and working in the same town.
Lorrie Farrelly's romantic thriller is an enjoyable and fast-paced novel. Farrelly makes central California come alive with her descriptions of the grassy hills and the small-town atmosphere of Chima Valley. Her two main characters, Cam and Merry, are both strong, though flawed characters, who alternately cling to each other and spark dangerously, and it's entertaining to watch them work out their problems. The underlying racial tensions both in town and school are well-handled and realistic. Merry's role as the School Guidance Counselor also adds to the realistic feel of this work as she works within the school, the community, and with Cam. Dangerous is fun and exciting to read, and I felt involved and interested from the very first sentence.

Cyndarella, Tavie, Denise and Vette had been best friends since high school, but Cyn was the pivot of the friendship and her friends could talk to her about their deepest secrets. Cyn's life was, however, far from perfect itself. Although now happily engaged to a truly wonderful man, memories of her greatest love still haunted her. Bashar was her first love and she had been deeply in love with him. They had made plans for their future and everything was going according to plan until he left on a business trip to Baghdad and never came back. No final goodbye and no reason; he just vanished and for thirteen years she did not know what had happened to him. Since Bashar, Cyn found it hard to trust any man; all her relationships had been filled with scepticism and were always short lived until she met Thad. Cyn was all ready to get married and start a new chapter with Thad when Vette discovered some horrifying truth about Bashar's disappearance. Suddenly Cyn was stuck between her greatest love and her fiancé.
One Foot Outside The Door by Vina St. Fran is a fascinating contemporary romance story that takes you deep into the lives of four women as they try to find their right footing in the world of relationships. The four were all comfortable in their professional lives, but it was exciting to follow their personal journeys and witness a friendship so pure and fierce. The story portrays the beauty of having friends you know you can count on at any time and turn to with/for anything. I loved the way the other three completely trusted Cyn and knew that they could tell her anything without fear of being judged or ridiculed. One Foot Outside The Door by Vina St. Fran delivered a story filled with romance, suspense and relationship drama through love triangles, betrayals, broken trust, and second chances.

Reviewed by Janelle Alex, Ph.D. for Readers' Favorite
Kathryn Guare has brought an enchanting tale into the world by writing The Secret Chord. This mystery suspense thriller is the second in The Conor McBride Series. Conor leaves Dingle Peninsula, Ireland, behind and heads to Hartsboro Bend, Vermont. He is full of secrets, which he really needs help dealing with, but he wants to keep inn owner, Kate Fitzpatrick, in the dark. However, Kate has a number of secrets and hidden traumas that she needs to deal with too. As each of their secrets begins to come to light, the shock for both Conor and Kate is gut-wrenchingly severe. Their fates have been intertwined for years upon years, completely unbeknownst to either of them. One man is at the center of the grave deceptions and traumatic experiences that Conor and Kate have endured and continually face. Will this drive them apart or bring them closer together?
Nicely done, Kathryn Guare's The Secret Chord is a little slow to start, but has compelling twists within the plot that keep you engrossed until the end. There is also a marvelous artistic connection between Conor and Kate as Conor is a violinist and Kate is a painter. The reader is drawn in to discover whether or not the colorful strokes of Kate's brush and the lilting notes brought forth from Conor's bow can create a strong enough opportunity for these two broken individuals to find love. Amidst it all, there is a great deal of suspense that keeps the mystery at the forefront. Guare's work is paradoxically charming and suspenseful. I most certainly recommend reading The Secret Chord and the rest of The Conor McBride Series.

Saving Sophie by Cate Beauman is the seventh book in The Bodyguards of L.A. County series. After fleeing an abusive man, Sophie Burke turns up as a part time cleaner at Ethan Cooke Security. She wants to start over, but lives with the constant fear of Eric, the man she was engaged to, coming to find her. Stone McCabe is one of the bodyguards with the agency. A self-proclaimed bachelor for life, Stone has no idea why the petite blonde has drawn his attention. After driving her home one night and seeing her living conditions, Stone makes the impulse decision to ask Sophie to move in with him, into a house he’s renovating on the coastal cliffs. As feelings intensify between the pair, will Stone be able to handle Sophie’s secrets?
Miss Beauman’s book does not disappoint for those who love romantic suspense. As with her previous novel, Justice for Abby, the sixth book in the Bodyguard series, Beauman provides a deliciously torturous build-up to an explosive relationship (in a good way!). I loved Stone’s broody nature, and how he softened over time to Sophie. Even though this is part of a series, it stands alone. I appreciated the subtle tie-ins with the previous book though, especially Sophie going to work with Abby. It was a nice way to make the two relatable, and keep the other characters alive. I definitely need to get my hands on other books in this series. The writing flows nicely and you find yourself lost in the story. Saving Sophie by Cate Beauman is a novel you will not want to put down. I certainly couldn’t!

Now, she lives with a bodyguard, Jerrod Quinn, a former US Marshall, who now works for Ethan Cooke Security. As the trial date nears, new threats pop up, continually testing Jerrod’s skills and ability to keep Abby safe from harm. The heads of the ring want Abby dead, and Jerrod has to think quickly to keep his client alive until the trial date. Along with that, the two begin to harbor romantic feelings for one another.

Even though this book is a part of a series, it definitely stands alone. I would be keen to read other books in the series as the writing is so compelling.

Summer’s Winter by Robin Johns Grant is a story of love, deceit and obsession. At ten years old, Jeanine, the daughter of a preacher, fell in love with film star Jamie Newkirk. Now, twenty-one-year-old Jeanine is in for a shock when Jamie falls at her feet. Jamie is in hiding after being accused of murdering a girlfriend. He also found his mother in the same house, apparently a suicide case two years earlier. While Jamie and Jeanine work together, she is wary of all the darkness that seems to surround Jamie, with so many strange characters in his life and in the movies he stars in. It’s clear that Jamie has a secret and he has already been found guilty by both the media and the public. Jeanine believes in his innocence though, and wants to do all she can to prove it. Can she come through this unscathed? Will she still have her life and her dreams intact?
Summer’s Winter by Robin Johns Grant is an intense story. There is so much going on – current deaths, past deaths, controlling relatives - that in many novels it would be difficult to keep up. However, Robin has done an amazing job of twisting everything together in a neat and coherent way so that any reader can keep up with the story. Another one of those books that I couldn’t put down until I’d finished it and I’m glad I read it. Amazing story, well written and with excellent characters. You can almost see them on the big screen because this book would make a great movie.
