Review of ‘Mine to keep’ by Wendy Hudson.
Three things made me read this book: its cover, the title and Ms. Hudson’s excellent debut novel ‘Four steps’. So I had high expectations that unfortunately didn’t quite deliver for me. ‘Mine to keep’ is a romantic suspense with the romance sweet and tender but the suspense quite predictable. Because the reader can guess where […]
Review of ‘Illegal contact’ by Becky Harmon.
According to the publisher, this book is categorised as Romance / Action, though there is more of mystery than romance. The story revolves around Jamison Krews, a private security agent, who is assigned to protect college football star player Shea Carter after she received death threats. After a rocky start, they feel a mutual attraction […]
Review of ‘Little lies’ by Lila Bruce.
Light entertaining romance / mystery book. It has a perfect balance of mystery, romance and humour. It’s hard to pull off a romance while the characters are on the run but Ms. Bruce did it nicely. Overall, 4 stars. Entertaining holiday read.
Review of ‘The scholarship’ by Jamie Maddox.
This is a sweet slow-burn romance wrapped up in a cold case mystery. Or the other way around. It’s not important, what matters is that Ms. Maddox found the perfect balance between mystery and romance with multi-layered characters and a well developed plot. As the main characters’ relationship grows, the author drops clues into the […]
Review of ‘Under Parr’ by Andrea Bramhall.
Andrea Bramhall is in my lesbian authors top ten: https://lezreviewbooks.com/my-top-tens/ she’s an author who delivers well crafted plots, multi-layered characters and isn’t afraid of touching controversial issues. This is book 2 of the Norfork Coast Investigation Story series which started brilliantly with ‘Collide-O-scope’. I recommend that you read this series chronologically as this book resumes […]
Review of ‘Sins of Our Fathers’ by A. Rose Mathieu
This is the debut novel by this author who has delivered a page-turner packed of twists and turns with an unexpected ending. If you are interested in the romance aspect, unfortunately, there isn’t much of it. Moreover, the main characters don’t share much time in the plot together. However, I think the author is going […]
Review of ‘Amounting to nothing’ by Karis Walsh
I’ve enjoyed a couple of books by this author so I’ve decided to give it a go. This book is number 3 of the ‘Tacoma Mounted Police’ series but there’s no need to read them in order. However, there are a few references to characters and events of the previous books that I couldn’t put in […]
Review of ‘Lone ranger’ by VK Powell
I have read most of VK Powell’s books and give them an average 3 stars. While I appreciate the procedural and investigative aspects of her plots crafted thanks to her experience as a retired police officer, I think she lacks the same proficiency in terms of the descriptions of relationships in her books. In ‘Lone Ranger’, […]
Review of ‘Collide-O-Scope’ by Andrea Bramhall.
One of the best lesbian mystery books I’ve read! I’ve read several books by this author and, in my opinion, this one is her best. Excellent book full of twists and turns. I liked that the crime is presented at the very beginning and the reader is left knowing more than the investigators on what […]
