Can love break the code?


Code of Honor: A Spontagio Family Novel - Missy Johnson
Pietro lost his family and watched his mother die at the tender age of 15.  He moved in with his father's friend after that.  He had a daughter, Lucia "Lucy" Spontiago.  Pietro fell in love at first sight.  

He also knew he could never act on those feelings or it would be a grave insult to the man who took him in.  So he kept his feelings to himself.  Loved her from afar, hurt with more pain, he follows her to New York so she can pursue her dream of ballet dance.

Lucy has an overprotective father.  She knows his business dealings are shady, but she never feels threatened by them.  After losing her mother, her father seemed obsessed with her safety and by college age, she is quite sick of the smothering.  She wants to live!

Her father sends Pietro to keep an eye on her.  Lucy has no idea that he is so close.  She catches him and figures it out.  They start their friendship anew.  Possibly with benefits - as long as it is in secret.  Until tragedy strikes and they have no choice but to come out in the open.  Can they keep it from her father while dodging danger?

So many surprises are in store for the reader!  If you love adventure, suspense and hot romance - this book is for you!!  I thought the characters were victims of a romantic tragedy, until I read all that goes on.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Cherry Pie (Mercury Rising Book 1) by Samantha Kane     Date of Publication: September 16, 2014   Blurb:   You can go home again if you can get a foot in the door.   Mercury Rising, Book 1   A year after packing and moving from L.A. to Mercury, North Carolina, John Ford still hasn't adjusted to the heat. Or to life without his long-time partner. As he fixes up the old house he bought, the quiet becomes his only companion, and he's content with that—until a deep-voiced stranger plants himself under a tree across the street.   Eight years ago, Connor Meecham left someone behind in that house—himself. Now he's back to find the man he used to be, before drugs and prison sent his life careening off the tracks. But it's not his mother's face peering through the window any more. It's a man who seems as lost as Conn himself.   When John learns what the house—and the dying town—mean to Conn, he finds himself opening the door to his heart. Just

This is book #6, in the True North series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding of the series, and too avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this compelling series in order. Skye returns to the place she hates the most to help out the sister she always wanted.  When she gets there, tables have turned.  There is now danger if she pushes too far in finding her sister.  Who can she turn to? Benito AKA "Ben" is a blast from the past, who has always had a thing for Skye.  She was the one that got away, and he has no intentions of letting that happen again.  He also has to find her sister and solve his case. While this author is a definite auto purchase, she always brings the goods to the table.  In this story, we get a second chance romance with such heart and heat that every page is a sizzling delight!  I loved the banter, and was eagerly turning each page to get to the next.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***Th
