A Doctor For Keeps Review




A Doctor for Keeps

By Lynne Marshall 

Her lifelong search for home…  
Desdemona Rask never knew much about her family. Now she is finally getting a chance to learn about her roots in the town of Heartlandia. For the first time, Desi feels as if there's somewhere she belongs…but there's more to her welcome home than she expected! Her grandmother's next-door neighbor looks like a Viking warrior, and he's giving Desi all sorts of unwelcome feelings…. 
…might be closer than she thinks! 
Caring for his son, Steven, is single dad Dr. Kent Larson's first priority. But the boy's stunning new piano teacher makes him take a second look at his to-do list. Still, he's lost at love before—how could he risk another heart-battering? Does the doctor dare to go all in? 
...........................................................................
***MY HONEST REVIEW OF A DOCTOR FOR KEEPS***

After Desi’s mother dies, she goes in search of her family roots. She remembers meeting her mother’s mother when she was young, and more recently at her mother’s funeral, but has never met her father. When she arrives at her grandmother’s home, she gets more than she bargained for with Kent, the sexy hunk of a doctor next door. As she connects and grows closer to her grandmother, she finds herself falling in love with Kent. But will she ruin her chances with him while searching for her father?

I liked the way the author displayed the raw feelings of both Desi and Kent. You could feel all the emotions bubbling at the surface. It was hard to take sides when she wanted to stay in Portland to meet her father, and Kent practically begging her to come back with him. I don’t know if I could have chosen which way to go. I really liked the town of Heartlandia and the way it was depicted. Grandma Gerda fit there perfectly.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF RENAISSANCE***

After 15 years of marriage, Amanda’s husband Derrick asks for a divorce and moves out. Amanda figures the only explanation is another woman. When he calls a week later to meet, she is told, to her horror, that it is not another woman, but another man. Derrick is finally being true to himself. Since they have a daughter to think about, Amanda tries to make it an amiable separation while waiting on the divorce to finalize. But Derrick just won’t let up on the verbal abuse that Amanda has withstood for so long. Then as fate would have it, into her life walks famous NFL quarterback Bradley Erickson, who is very much interested in her. Will Amanda be able to get past the twelve-year age difference and her low self-esteem to find true happiness?  Only time will tell.


Amanda was such an over-analyzer, but she couldn’t help but be, with all the years of put-downs from her husband. It’s very difficult to come away from that unscathed. Being older than her, I can very much understand the insecurities she felt with her body and public judgments. I have to say though, if I was Amanda I would have shut out the voices in my head, thrown caution to the wind, and enjoyed the relationship with Eric with no regrets. I mean, how much better can it get?

Shatter Point Review

Shatter Point

By Jeff Altabef





Evolved Publishing presents a gripping glimpse of the near future, in which a twisted serial killer finds power in a corrupt political culture. The psychological thriller Shatter Point is a stand-alone follow-up to Jeff Altabef's first novel, Fourteenth Colony. [DRM-Free]

[Psychological Suspense Thriller, Crime, Serial Killer, Vigilante Justice]

Maggie met Cooper at a young age, but even then she sensed something was wrong with him. His charm, good looks, and wealth could not hide the danger that burned in his sapphire eyes.
Some nightmares don’t go away. He’d been haunting her from a distance for as long as she could remember.
Now things have changed.
When her sons Jack and Tom discover she’s been taken, they set out to rescue her and uncover nefarious family secrets, explosive government conspiracies, and a series of horrific murders along the way. Only their colorful great aunt and a covert resistance group can help them navigate the dark underworld full of political subterfuge and class warfare.
All the while, Maggie struggles to outwit her tormentor in a life and death psychological battle of tense desperation. Will Jack and Tom arrive before Cooper reaches his shatter point?
...........................................................................
***MY HONEST REVIEW OF SHATTER POINT***

 Neurobiologist Darian Beck was still in testing stages of a new drug that would regenerate brain matter and end Alzheimer’s disease, when his boss ordered him to inject it into a human subject. The subject, Jack, was in a coma from a head trauma and expected to die without the injection. With Jack unaware that he had been injected, Darian kept close watch on him under the guise of a study on brain injuries. The problem with the drug was that it increased the brain to the point of death. Darian worked around the clock with testing, trying to save Jack before his time ran out. In the meantime, a psychopath that has stalked Jack’s mother since childhood has kidnapped her. With Jack out of reach, Darian becomes frantic trying to find him before it’s too late.

I wish I had read the first of this series before reading this one. I think I would have understood it more. There were things mentioned that I would have liked to know about. That being said, this one could stand-alone. It didn’t take much to feel close to Jack and his family, as well as Darian. I could feel Darian’s despair with each trial failure. I really liked the way all the characters came full circle together. This is a good read for anyone who likes thrillers.

Wicked Greed Book Review

WICKED GREED (Greed Series #3)

By John W. Mefford


Torture disfigures and maims, traumatizing a person’s psyche. It also torments the lives they…touch. 

A sick, twisted email lands at journalism outlets across the south, referencing innocent little animals and primal urges, Hollywood movie stars and women of a certain ilk...tearing flesh from bone. The haunting note tests Michael’s over-protective nature, and he questions if it’s just a prank from a sheltered computer geek, or a prophetic sign of a future heinous act. 

A shadow of death swallows up one beautiful young lady after another…and no one can stop it. But what force is behind this chain of sadistic killings, pulling the strings, toying with pretty girls who want nothing more than to meet Mr. Right? As Michael and his band of brothers (and sister) track a series of bizarre murders in southern college towns—slowly piecing together what the FBI can’t—a savage monster strikes close to home. 

When blood pours from the soul you love, the pain isn't of this world. 

In the end, lives will be forever changed. And one will not survive.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF WICKED GREED***

When Michael Doyle receives a disturbing email at the newspaper office that he works at, he and his colleagues don’t quite know what to think of it. After bodies of beautiful college girls start showing up with their throats cut out, it becomes clear that a serial killer is on the loose. As more emails arrive, with each murder it seems, Michael is sure they are related even though there is no apparent connection.


This thriller kept me on the edge of my seat. I even caught myself brainstorming questions and ideas along side the team. I have enjoyed Michael and his colleagues since book one. Even though he seems to draw trouble, he still lands on his feet. I admit that I guessed the killer and his end game early on, but the author did have me second-guessing all the way through.

Greed Manifesto Tour and Giveaway


NEW RELEASE.....
Everyone needs a guardian angel, especially children of this world who are tossed aside like yesterday's trash. But what if that angel is cloaked in vengeance, immune to human qualities of remorse or compassion, seemingly carrying a torch for justice, yet driven by a tenacious indignation.

Set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of San Francisco and all of its fleeting secrets, Michael attempts to re-boot his life, only to see death drop inches from his feet. Awakened from a seemingly catatonic state, and emboldened by a spirited friendship from his past, the former journalist is compelled to chase down the truth behind a murder--and the natural beauty connected to it.

But what he finds isn't what it appears.

Can a price tag be associated with life? What about death…on a global scale? Robbed of his memory, beaten to an inch of his life, yet unwavering in his quest to cease an act of terror, Michael races against time to pursue an enemy bound by an unspeakable cause--or so it seems.

The fourth book in the Greed series, GREED MANIFESTO, spins a tale so wickedly conceived, you won't believe what you read. Until you do.

FATAL GREED - Greed Series #1
Behind every corporate takeover executives pull levers this way and that, squeezing the last profitable nickel out of the deal. But no one knows the true intent of every so-called merger. No one knows the secret bonds that exist. An Indian technology giant swallows up another private company that has deep roots in North Texas. For one unassuming man the thought of layoffs, of losing his own job to a bunch of arrogant assholes feels like a kick to the jewels. Until the day Michael's life changes forever. Perverse alliances. A gruesome murder. An affair of the heart. A spiraling string of events thrusts Michael into a life-or-death fight to save a tortured soul and hunt down a brutal killer...one who lurks closer than he ever imagined.


LETHAL GREED - Greed Series #2
How often do start-up companies promise untold riches? How many of those firms are drug cartels?

Seduced by an insatiable urge to escape reality, North Texas teens are falling prey to the one weakness parents fear most about their kids—taking illicit drugs. More than a thousand miles away, two contemptible hooligans plot their path to the top of an emerging start-up company. But what will it cost them?

With his city under siege by a series of drug deaths and a kidnapping, Michael and those closest to him are sucked into a twister so toxic and destructive, no one will be the same in its wake.

From the jagged mountains and alluring beaches of Mexico to the suburban concrete jungle in North Texas, Michael defends an entire drug-ravaged generation against ruthless killers who attack on every front possible. And just when you think the dragon has been sleighed, a vile act of cruelty threatens to shred his family.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF GREED MANIFEST***

No matter where Michael ends up, it seems the greed around him continues. He now lives in San Francisco working for a startup company. In a bar, while admiring Camille, an enticing female, he is witness to her brother’s murder, and later Camille’s kidnapping. When he accidentally runs into Andi, a former colleague from back home, she decides to help him investigate. What they uncover though, doesn’t only threaten to end their lives, but millions more on a global scale.

This starts off slightly confusing since Michael has lost his memory, and also with the back and forth time jumping. It does eventually become clear. No matter how hard he tries, Michael just can’t stay out of trouble. The camaraderie between him and Andi was perfect, especially if you had read their previous work relationship. The last chapter though will throw you for a loop. Will it be déjà vu for Michael?

Romancing My Love Tour and Giveaway


NEWLY RELEASED........
Book #9 The Bradens, Love in Bloom Series #18

After months of caring for her terminally ill mother, Rebecca Rivera is left all alone in a world she doesn’t trust—but she’s determined not to let her mother’s death define her. Losing her job, having to pummel some jerk for being too handsy, and living in her car are just temporary setbacks to an otherwise solid plan in finding her footing. Full of pride and used to being in control of her life, she’s certain she can make it on her own. The last thing Rebecca needs is a man to fix her troubles—even if that man is strikingly handsome, wealthy, and charismatic Pierce Braden.

Pierce is a powerful real estate investor on the verge of a major acquisition. As the eldest of six siblings raised by a single mother, he’s spent his life protecting those he loves. He’s used to being in charge and making things right, and although he’d give his life for his family, he treats the women he dates as expendable—until he meets sexy and stubborn Rebecca Rivera, a woman who is as strong as she is vulnerable.

Passion ignites between them, and the two share their most intimate thoughts and desires. It doesn’t take long for Pierce to realize that Rebecca is as determined not to be saved as he is to find a way into her heart. As their love grows, Rebecca must face fears she didn’t even realize she had—and Pierce must learn the hard truth that sometimes less really is more. Is the power of true love enough for Rebecca and Pierce to learn to give up control and allow their hearts to take over?

THE BRADEN COUSINS are the newest addition to the LOVE IN BLOOM series, this is the third of six books.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF ROMANCING MY LOVE***

Pierce Braden is the picture of success, being the owner of numerous properties, including casinos and resorts. He can have any woman he desires, and frequently does. That is, until he happens upon Rebecca Rivera. With a body that catches his eye, Rebecca has nothing to do with Pierce. He found her to be the total opposite of what he is used to, and is intrigued enough to not give up. Especially when he discovers that she has business savvy that can match him. She doesn't know how rich and powerful he is, and doesn’t care. What Pierce doesn’t know is that Rebecca has hit bottom, and is living in her car. What happens when opposites attract? Yep, they fall fast and hard.

I love each character that Melissa Foster adds to her books. They are just the perfect personalities for each story. Usually my favorite is a side character, but this time I have to go with Pierce. He is perfection magnified. I loved Rebecca too, but got bored with her hang-up of Pierce knowing she was homeless. I would love to see their story go on to include them helping out Henry and Daphne, and Mr. Fralin. In an honorable way, that is.
