Not Without Risk by Sarah Grimm is an entertaining read. Sergeant Justin Harrison had spent the last six months recuperating from a gunshot wound that collapsed his lung. Justin loved his job; it was his life. He and his partner were called to their first case since Justin's return to work at the San Diego Homicide Unit; the victim had been murdered in a hotel. Paige Conroy was the only link to the murderer. She had received a call from the victim, insisting he had to meet with her. He claimed to have some information that she needed to know about. When she arrived at the appointed time, he was dead. Suddenly Paige was the killer's next target. Justin wanted to help her but found he was falling in love with her.

David Alexander is dead and Nicci has to learn to live without her love. To do this she decides to write a book about their relationship. While in New York for a book signing, Nicci is contacted by Simon La Roy. He was David's boss for many years when David worked as a spy. He tells Nicci that he wants to find out who killed David because the police are not getting the job done. He thinks that it was someone close to Nicci. She agrees to let Dallas August come home with her and act like her new boyfriend, so he can sniff around her friends and try to solve the case. They don't fool everyone, and they finally have to tell Nicci's father and uncle what they are up to. Both of them say they will help in any way they can, but they want Nicci kept safe.

This is one of the best books I have read in awhile. It had everything from suspense to a little romance and quirky minor characters that you came to love. Nicci, though struggling with the death of David, opens herself to a new love. She's strong in her resolve to find his killer, though, and willing to do anything to help. Dallas is not looking for romance and just wants to find his friend's killer; but he was half in love with Nicci before they even met. Aunt Hattie and cousin Colleen provide the levity that the book needed; they are very enjoyable characters. I love the cover of the book...very New Orleans...and highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good mystery.

Josie Natale was a brilliant bio-statistician. Her report proved that a drug had high adverse reactions. She refused to change her report when threatened. Josie was good at her job but she was just as lax concerning her life. She was always running late. She rarely cooked, cleaned, or did laundry. When they began receiving strange emails from The Warriors Of God, they called in a computer security team to track them. Josie turned to Nic,a handsome security expert from South America. Josie did not know what to do or who to trust. Someone entered her home and her best friend was attacked at the women's clinic where she worked. Who was responsible: her former boss, ex boyfriend Henry, or could it be Nic?

There is one thing for sure, the reader is in for a rollicking ride. It is full of suspense and mystery along with romance and humor .This book will keep you guessing to the very last page. The prologue was a bit perplexing at first. I was half way through the book before I could make the connection. A very enjoyable read.
