“...he had no doubt that he knew who Ty was now, inside and out. He knew every one of Ty's quirks and weak spots and favorite things. He knew what Ty found funny and what annoyed him. He knew what would break his heart. He knew how to touch him to drive him wild, and when to back off when Ty was having a bad day. He knew that Ty was kind and loyal and funny, that he had a deep sense of honor and righteousness. He knew that Ty would die to save a stranger, and kill to save a friend. That was the type of man he was.” ~ Stars & Stripes by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run series #6)

Fate

This is book #2, in the Trident Security: Omega Team series .  This can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader to completely understand, I would recommend readers read in the order intended. Darius is undercover with a hellish drug lord, when in comes more women for his human trafficking ring.  This one he recognizes.  She is someone who can blow his cover too. Princess Tahira has no idea where she and her cousins have been taken to.  She must escape or fall victim to the worst sort of crime.  Good thing a hero is there in the shadows. Such a dark and stormy knight!  Sorry did not mean to be flip.  This read is actually quite difficult and a warning to the readers is in order.  If you have been following along with this  incredible series  you will not want to miss this one.  You have danger, suspense, heat, tension, friendship, and more.  I was happily to find these characters are so deep there is so mu...

Image
    Kitty's Book Spot! got together with the author of the amazing thriller, " The Dream Actor ."  We wanted to get to know Birks Kalulu , as well as his story.  If you are a fan of fast paced, family feuds & unpredictable action - this book is for you!            Amazon (kindle)  http://amzn.to/2kwipWt Paperback  http://amzn.to/2CPes5E       1.     Do you listen to music as you write?   Do I listen to music as I write? Well yes and no. So many things move me while writing, things like another book, a film or a life situation. Back to your question though, not all music inspires me to write. There are chapters in my book ‘The Dream Actor’, which I wrote under the influence of mid tempo music. I didn’t need music to write the death scenes though, I just tapped into my memories and broke back the pain and anguish I felt when my father passed away...

Lonely hearts

Image
This book is the 4th in The O'Malleys series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding and enjoyment, I recommend reading this series in order. Jude has sinister plans for someone near Sloan.  His past is full of secrets and lies.  What could he ever hope to offer someone as innocent as she? Sloan has her own past full of secrets.  She has her own lies she needs to tell.  Jude is just eye candy until her curiosity cannot resist.   This series just leaves me breathless!  Just when I think nothing can surprise me.... well, I am not a spoiler so you will have to read it to find out.  Know that this author never leaves you wanting.  The characters are very rich and compelling in all sorts of ways.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange by Netgalley and its publisher for an honest review.

True love

George AKA "Geo" and his best friend Alex AKA "Lex" are well known for their podcast about True Crime.  It has humor, and talks about things others do not like to discuss.  Many family members are not good about it - and dating?  Forget it. Lex and Geo have never met.  They talk every day, and their friendship is solid.  Others find this weird, of course.  No one really understands these two but them.  Love must come next, right? Sincere and sweet in so many ways.  This story made me laugh, cry and just all around feel.  I loved it and I look forward to more books in the Drop Dead series and about these characters.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

James Deacon met Trevor "Trav" Barrow when Trav came to visit his sister in the bar she works at.  Deacon had just officially retired from SWAT, and was drinking the decision away.  The attraction was immediate and mutual. Trav is gun-shy about relationships and never stays in one place for long.  He trusts only one person.  His sister.  Now, he has these feelings for Deacon that can only be wanting more. Deacon is hot for Trav right from the start.  If he can learn to not scare Trav away, maybe that had a real chance.  He sees the future they could have in his dreams, but Trav is not known for sticking around. Interesting storyline with a whole mystery wrapped inside.  It was like Christmas came early!  There was satire, heat, suspense, and so much more.  I give this book a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Scary Bones

Image
This book is # 18 in the Temperance Brennan series .   This book does well as a standalone novel.  It is a bit easier to understand when read in order with the given series. Temperence Brennan has another string of murders that get her into a situation again in this current installment of the police procedural series.  It starts off with the sinister crime and victim, making all who read it scared from the start. My love for the books and the characters has not changed.  I am however, at a place where I feel the storyline is getting a bit too regular.  I want Temperance to choose a man, be more aware of what she is doing, and maybe show more character development after all these books.  Otherwise, it is a good mystery novel to read.  I give it a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was provided by Netgalley.com and its publisher for review purposes only.
