The Mosquito Tapes
-
Nobody tells a bio-terror story better than Chris Holmes. And like
all of Chris Holmes’ books, this one begins well—when San Diego
County Chief Medical Examiner Jack Youngblood discovers a strange
mosquito in the pocket of a murder victim. Taut, tingly, and
downright scary,
The Mosquito Tapes
will keep you reading
well into the night.

The Garden of Evil
- Chris
Holmes’s novel is a modern day cat and mouse, no...cobra and
mongoose investigation, with the stakes more personal and deadly as
the adversaries find themselves continually within striking
distance. The weapon – food – is one of man’s most basic needs.

civilian virus chasers as they trace how the plague disease travels

teeth on edge in parting with his knowledgeable reassurances in the
epilogue that this bio-weapon technology is with us today.
The Medusa Strain
really
could happen!

Jean Harrington’s
The Barefoot Queen
is a
treasure in the historical romance genre you’ll want to read for
yourself! I adored Grace for her courage and the cleverness with
which she sets out to make Owen see her love for him. The bond
between Grace and Owen is tenderly portrayed and their love had me
rooting for them right up until the last page. Five Star Pick of
the Week!!!

The Sense of Honor

Ashley Kath-Bilsky has written a historical romance of the highest
caliber. The plot is exciting, characters are multi-dimensional,
and the secondary characters bring life to the story. Ms.

was very pleased with how the author handled all the secrets and
both characters reacted very maturely when the secrets finally came
to light.

Beats A Wild Heart
- In
the ancient, Celtic land of Cornwall, Emma Hayward searched for a
myth and found truth. The legend of the black cat of Bodmin Moor is
a well known Cornish legend. Jean Adams has merged the essence of
myth and romance into a fascinating story which catches the
imagination. I enjoyed the way the story unfolded at a smooth and
steady pace with Emma and Seth appearing as real people who feel an
instant attraction for one another. At first the story appears to
be straightforward, but as it evolves mystery, love and intrigue
intervene to make a vibrant story with hidden depths. Once you
start reading you won't be able to put this book down.

Down Home Ever Lovin’ Mule
Blues
by Jacquie Rogers - How can true love fail when
everyone and their mule, cat, and  skunk know that Brody and
Rita belong together, even if Rita is engaged to another man? This
is a fabulous roll on the floor while laughing out loud story.
Rarely do I locate a story with as much humor, joy, and downright
lust spread so thickly on the pages that I am surprised I could
turn the pages. A treasure not to be missed.

When the Vow Breaks
by
Judith Leigh - This book is about a woman who fights breast cancer.
The storyline dealt with the commitment between a man and a woman,
with a true belief of God. The intrigue was that of finding a rock
to lean upon through faith in God. Not only did she learn to lean
on her relationship with Him, but she also learned how to forgive
her husband. This is a great look at not only a breast cancer
survivor, but also a couple whose commitment to each other through
their faith grew stronger. It is an easy read and one I highly
recommend.

A Heated Romance
by
Candace Gold - A fascinating romantic suspense tells the story of
Marcie O'Dwyer, a female firefighter who has had to struggle to
prove herself. While the first part of the book seems to focus on
the romance and Marcie's daily life, the second part transitions
into a suspense novel as Marcie witnesses something suspicious at
one of the fires. Her life is endangered by what she possibly knows
and I found myself anticipating the outcome almost as much as
Marcie.

Rebel Heart
- Jannine
Corti Petska used a myriad of emotions to tell this story and the
reader quickly becomes entranced in the ways Courtney’s stubborn
attitude works to her advantage in surviving this disastrous
beginning to her new life. This is a wonderful rendition of a
different type which is a welcome addition to the historical
romance genre. I believe that you will enjoy this story; I know I
did!

Brides of the West
by
Michèle Ann Young, Kimberly Ivey, and Billie Warren Chai - All
three of the stories in this wonderful anthology are based on women
who gambled their future in blindly accepting complete strangers
for husbands. It was a different era when a woman must have a
husband to survive and all three authors wrote exceptional stories
featuring fascinating and gutsy heroines and the men who loved
them. For an engrossing read with splendid original stories I
highly encourage readers to pick up a copy of this
marvelous anthology.

Holiday in the Heart
(Anthology)
- Stories that would put even Scrooge into the
Christmas spirit. It does not matter what
type
of romance
genre you prefer. This book has a little bit of everything. The
stories are set in the U.S.A. and Europe. Some take place in the
past, some in the present, and one story takes place in both! I
strongly suggest you put on something comfortable, brew up
something hot (tea, coffee or cocoa will do), light up a fire,
settle down somewhere quiet and begin reading this anthology.
