second chance at love – Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words

Review: Foxed by Jay Hogan

Rating: 3🌈 Foxed, Fuddled, Swallowed a Hare, and Other Words for “Drunk”. Right from the title, Jay Hogan’s new release and I just couldn’t connect. For me, foxed always has meant drunk. Hogan goes with a different definition. FOXED: To be thrown into a state of uncertainty-flustered, bamboozled, bewildered, puzzled, vexed. That’s how I felt… Continue reading Review: Foxed by Jay Hogan

Review: Fran Cuthbert Ruins Christmas by J. A. Rock and Lisa Henry

Rating: 2.5🌈 J. A. Rock and Lisa Henry are both excellent writers and their ability to craft believable characters is one of the reasons I automatically grab up any book they co-author. Unfortunately in Fran Cuthbert Ruins Christmas, it’s one of their believable characters that’s the reason this was so close to being a DNF… Continue reading Review: Fran Cuthbert Ruins Christmas by J.

Review: Charlie’s Doctor (Shadow Elite Book 1) by Jocelynn Drake

Rating: 4.5 🌈 Second chance at love along with lovers reunited are among my favorite tropes. I get both with a storyline that involves several long-time mysteries, stealthy mercenaries, explosions, many shootouts, and a extremely entertaining romance to boot. It all starts with a mission in Buenos Aires , Argentina, with the former CIA, now… Continue reading Review: Charlie’s Doctor (Shadow Elite Book 1) by Jocelynn Drake

Review: Lethal (Operation Justice Force #1) by Reece Knightly

Rating: 4.5🌈 The cover and description give the reader a pretty good indication of what Lethal, the first book in Reese Knightly’s new Operation Justice Force , has in store for them. Dark alley, hot, muscled men, with tattoos (some of them), just a hint of danger. Works perfectly for a undercover operation filled with… Continue reading Review: Lethal (Operation Justice Force #1) by Reece Knightly
