Protecting Her Becomes His Mission; Resisting Her Becomes Impossible.

Secrets and lies collide in this upcoming explosive Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

Rowena Smith may be a top-shelf librarian, but solid investigative skills won’t keep her safe after her newest research project—tracking down her biological father—leads her to a brutally murdered body. The scene offers up one hope for assistance: the card of FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kurt Montana. Alone and terrified in a foreign country, Rowena places the call.

About to board a flight home after a failed mission, Kurt can’t ignore the plea in Rowena’s voice. She could be the killer or she could be an innocent bystander—either way, he senses she holds information vital to his case. When Kurt’s flight takes off without him—only to crash into the African savanna killing everyone onboard—he knows it’s no coincidence. Rowena saved his life.

Review | 3.5 stars

I liked this addition to the series. It wasn’t by favorite by any means, but I also didn’t hate it. I actually really liked both of the MC’s. I loved how protective the MC was over the heroine. He didn’t even really know her at first and he still protected her. I love my mc with these kinds of character traits. 

I also really liked how the heroine tried her best to protect the hero to even though she didn’t really know what she was doing.

The age gap didn’t really bother me. I was fine with it. 

Safety 

Safe. No OW/OM drama.

Blurb:

Dayton Calloway and I wouldn't have gotten together if it weren't for two pink lines.

After getting divorced, Francisca Dawson is attempting to find out who she is and how she wants her life to look. One thing she knows is that there isn't room for a man in that equation.

But then she meets Dayton Calloway. A man who is charming, funny, and unbelievably gorgeous. Unable to deny their connection, she gets lost in the moment and gives into his dirty mouth and skilled hands.

Actions have consequences.

Dayton knew that he never wanted to get married or have children. His upbringing before he entered foster care showed him that. So he took all precautions to make sure that wasn't a possibility.

But like they say nothing is ever one hundred percent.

Vow, he's picturing life as a father and coming to terms with the possibility of having everything he never knew he wanted with a woman who is not only taking up space in his life, but that empty space in his chest.

Before you go, do you take a chance and risk it all, or do you just let go and possibly miss out on the most beautiful love you've ever known?

That's what Dayton and Francisca will have to figure out.

Love is only as messy as you make it.

I honestly didn’t know how I was going to feel about this book. I hate ow drama and this had a little bit of it. I thought it was done really well though. This is the kind of ow I can handle. I loved the hero. I liked that at first, kids were not on his bingo card at all. I loved how he handled the situation. 

I also really liked the heroine and her family. I thought they were going to be assholes, but they weren’t. I liked how she handled her pregnancy and tell the child’s father right away. I’m glad she didn’t hide it. 

Overall, it was a very surprising good book. I liked how everything was wrapped up.

Sometimes the last thing you expect is exactly what you need, the final missing piece. And sometimes it comes in the form of a towering, broody sheriff, determined to get in your way at every step.

Ridley Sawyer knows what it's like to miss someone, to feel like a piece of her vanished-because it happened to her the night her twin sister disappeared.

Now, Ridley channels that loss into hope, traveling the country covering cold cases for her true crime podcast.

She might not have found justice for her sister but that doesn't stop her from finding it for others.

Until Sheriff Colter Brooks gets in her way.

Colt knows what it's like to have reporters descend on his town in the wake of a tragedy, and he's not about to let a fiery podcaster stir up trouble. It doesn't matter that her haunting blue eyes tell him there's more to Ridley's story or that he can't stop imagining what it would be like to touch her.

But when Ridley's cold case turns hot and she's thrust into the crosshairs, Colt has no choice but to step in.

Suddenly, Ridley's living at his house, drinking his whiskey, and stealing his dog's affections. But she's also proving that she's so much more than his first impression.

And as they get closer to the truth, the game they ve been playing might just turn deadly...

Review | 4 stars

I read this book a few months ago and still think about it to this day. I really enjoyed it. I really liked the heroine’s occupation. I love all things True Crime. And so, of she teams up with the hero who is a police officer. 

Overall, I was very satisfied how the book played out. I liked the main characters and the side characters. And of course the animals.

I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him.

The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast.

Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return.

Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own.

Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together?

Will we even want to?

REVIEW | 4 STARS

I enjoyed Roman and Elora’s story. I feel like a lot of people can relate to both characters. Everybody faces loss, and people deal with it differently. 

This book was a little different from ARR’s over books. It was definitely sadder in my opinion. 

I liked Roman and Elora. They both worked through their grief together. And they come out stronger on the other side.

At first, I didn’t really like his family, but after some time I started to like them a little better. I really liked Elora and his grandmother’s friendship. It was so sweet. 

Overall, I liked King of Nothing. It was a little sadder than her previous books, but I still really enjoyed it.

Title: Blaze

Series: Ghost Ops #1

Author: Lynn Raye Harris

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Small Town/Opposites Attract

Military Protector Romance

Release Date: June 18, 2024

BLURB

Dead to their pasts. Ghosts. No family ties. No connections.

Six men with a top-secret mission move to a small town where they have to navigate local life, protect their secret, and, above all, stay single.

Former Hostile Operations Team soldier Blaze "Shadow" Connolly knows what it’s like to lose everything. He’s got nobody except his job and his team and that’s the way he likes it.

But when he walks into a gas station during a robbery and locks eyes with Emma Grace Sutton, he knows he’ll do anything to protect the pretty girl with the blue glasses.

ER doctor Emma had a bright future until her ex-boyfriend became the kind of nightmare she was certain could never happen to her. With her self-esteem shattered and her confidence in ruins, she left a promising career and returned to her hometown to take over her dad's small family practice. It's not what she wants, but it's what she needs to rebuild her life.

Until she gets that prickly feeling she's being watched again. Did her ex follow her to Sutton's Creek or is she imagining things? Is she in danger or is it PTSD? She doesn't know, but she knows a man with the skills to find out. The ruggedly handsome sexy protector who saved her from a bullet once before.

Blaze isn’t supposed to get involved. Doing so could put the mission at risk. But how can he turn Emma away when the desperation in her eyes hints at even darker secrets? He can’t — and that might just be the final nail in his coffin.

A small town, nerdy girl, opposites attract, military protector romance from NYT bestselling author Lynn Raye Harris

I really like this series. It seems a little different from her other Hot series, but in a good way. I really liked Blaze and Emma. Blaze is the kind of hero you love. Protective, and sweet to the heroine. In this series, the heroes are in deep cover and they can’t be as honest as say some in her regular hot series. I actually didn’t have an issue with this. Usually I don’t like when they hide secrets, but I totally understand in this situation.

Emma was nice. I really liked her in the book. She was nice and sweet, but she wasn’t completely helpless either. I also loved her parents. They were sweet and supportive. 

Overall, I’m loving this series. I can’t wait to get some of the other guys books. 

EXCERPT

“Attraction and arousal are complicated phenomenons. You have to have the right amount of sympathetic nervous system activity. Your heart races, you tingle, and feel jumpy. That’s the fight-or-flight reaction. But then you have the parasympathetic nervous system which regulates the physical signs of arousal, like genital swelling and releasing sexual fluids. Add in the dopamine hits that come from being around you, and it’s a perfect storm of need and desire.”

“That’s your reason?” he asked, his voice hoarse. “It’s biological?”

“Mmm,” she said, dropping her mouth to kiss his chest. God, this was so unlike her, but it was also precisely what she wanted to do in the moment.

His breath hissed in, his hands closing gently around her upper arms. He didn’t push her away, though.

“It’s biological, yes,” she said. “But it’s mental, too. Because you’re you, and everything about you makes me want you. Whether it’s biological, evolutionary, chemical—I don’t really care. It’s a need in my belly, in my core, that I haven’t felt before. Nothing about this makes sense to me. And I feel like, if I fight it, if I don’t express to you that I want whatever you can give, that I’ll regret it on some level. I’m tired of living scared. I want to live with the kind of wild joy that comes from choosing to get on the rollercoaster.”

His hands slid around her body to cup her ass. Emma had to bite back a groan at the feel of those big hands on her bottom.

“I’m a rollercoaster, now?” he asked with a laugh before he bent to nibble her earlobe.

“You might be,” she breathed. “But I want to take the ride.”

Title: Cold Fury

Series: Cold Justice - Most Wanted #4

Author: Toni Anderson

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Serial Killer/Tortured Heroine

Band of Brothers/Woman in Peril

Release Date: May 13, 2024

BLURB

When a killer takes everything and still wants more.

Seven years ago, Hope Harper was a star defense attorney with a great life and a beautiful family—until she got the wrong defendant released, and he turned around and viciously slaughtered her husband and child. Since then, the only thing Hope cares about is locking bad guys behind bars where they can’t hurt anyone else. When the killer escapes from a maximum security prison during a winter storm, Hope refuses to run and hide.

The FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team is called in to protect the handful of public figures the notorious serial killer threatened. Operator Aaron Nash draws the short straw—he’ll be heading up Assistant District Attorney Hope Harper’s close protection detail.

Much to Aaron’s frustration, the cool blonde refuses to go into protective custody. As the hours and days wear on, Aaron and Hope manage a fragile truce. He begins to understand and admire the tenacious prosecutor, and the two of them begin to work together.

As the escaped serial killer’s rampage spins on, Hope knows it’s just a matter of time until he comes for her. Except something’s changed. For the first time since losing her family, she has something to live for. But is history doomed to repeat itself?

EXCERPT

“Do you have specialized combat training that I am unaware of?” He kept his voice firm, suspecting she’d scent and exploit weakness like a fox scented and exploited a rabbit.
Her eyes narrowed. “I have the fury of a woman whose child and husband were cold-bloodedly murdered by that sonofabitch.”
Emotion vibrated through the words, but he ignored it. His job was tactical, not emotional. It ran on logic and preparation. And maybe it ran a little on luck, but he wasn’t about to admit that to a principal who was this antagonistic. He needed to gain her trust and her confidence if they were to work together effectively.
“Sometimes,” he said quietly, “that isn’t enough.”
Something flickered in those icy depths before she looked away. “It’s all I have left.”
“Not true, counselor.” Lincoln Fraser produced a wide smile that showed he didn’t mind a little danger. “You also have the protection of the FBI.”
“Whether I like it or not.” The glimpse of vulnerability was gone, replaced by bitterness.
Aaron couldn’t blame her for her anger, but her attitude could make his job more difficult and put his teammates at risk. He wouldn’t stand for the latter. Their jobs were dangerous enough without a client with a death wish.

Review | 3.75 stars

The dead ex trope isn’t my favorite trope to be honest. I actually hate it. But, I’ve read all the books in the series, so I wanted to read this one too. The thing that saved this book for me is that I didn’t feel like he was second best. Usually, in a book with this trope they talk about the dead ex way too much and they are usually still way too in love with them for my liking. That wasn’t the case here. She still would talk about her husband, but it wasn’t over the top. 

I loved the hero. He was a geek and I personally love the geeks.

He was so sweet and protective. And he was very gentle with the heroine which I liked. 

Overall, it was a good addition to the series. I’m excited for the next.
