Adult Review: Every Last Breath

* 1st in a trilogy *

Maddox has nothing to lose, making her the perfect operative. An operation goes sideways after it's cut short because she's needed elsewhere does nothing for her self esteem. She's supposed to stop the sale of a deadly virus. And the only person who can help her is someone from her past - someone she thought was dead.

Now she's racing against the clock and trying to keep her emotions in check. The past keeps coming back and she must find a way to deal with it in order to move forward. Can she and Cole save the world and save each other?

My Thoughts: I'm a huge fan of spy novels and movies - so I've been waiting to read this book since I heard about it. It was one of the first books I requested when my library's hold system opened back up. I loved the operations. I loved the team. I'll be happy to read more about them. I enjoyed the emotional struggles between Cole and Maddox and how they worked through things. Lots of action, lots of danger, and lots of emotions in this adventure. I didn't want to put the book down because I had to see how everything would turn out and of course there was a cliff-hanger ending of sorts and now I need the next book in the trilogy!

Cover Thoughts: Awesome

Library Recommendation: A fantastic romantic thriller - highly recommended for public library's romance collections.

Mini Review: The Protector

Book 2 in the Sons of Texas trilogy

This book continues the saga of the uncovering their father's kidnapping and how it relates to their past troubles.

The Good:
The story continues from another son's prospective
And the pilot
Romance
Danger
Secrets
Understanding more of the past.

The Bad:
We didn't get too much of the other siblings in this book (but really just nitpicking)

I'm happy I just picked up the third book from the library so I can finish it!

Recommendation: Get this series!

Adult Review: The Hero

 * First in a new trilogy *

Owen hasn't been home in years - and neither have his two brothers. But when tragedy strikes, all three of them are pulled from their elite military jobs and sent back to Texas. Family members killed and their father kidnapped. He and his brothers are to recover the missing item and their father. But what Owen didn't count on was seeing this high school sweetheart - the one he let escape the military life.

Natalie isn't about to let Owen back into her heart - nor is she going to let him control the mission. His father came to her for a reason and now there's a price on her head. She's going to do what she can to help out - even if the memories come rushing back and all she wants to do is turn back time.

My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. I'm so looking forward to the next one in the trilogy and I can't wait to get to know the brothers better. I feel terrible for them - for the tragedy in their past. I like watching them heal. I like watching them kick butt even more. I loved the way Natalie handled herself - even when she was scared, she moved quickly and wanted to help out. I love second chance stories and I didn't want to put this one down.
