Max Boucher, a former Seattle detective turned P.I. has just been handed a puzzling case. Dozens of dogs are disappearing all over the city, and no one knows why. The stretched Seattle police department can’t dedicate the resources needed, and Max may be the pet owner’s only hope. For the missing dogs, time is running out.

But Max is dealing with his own demons. Three years ago, his wife disappeared and his daughter was murdered. The police presume she is dead, but Max knows better. He’s still paying for the house they lived in together, terrified that he will sell the one place that holds the clues he needs to find his wife.

Will Max be able to find the dogs in time? Does this case hold an unknown clue to his wife’s disappearance? Once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop until the very end.

Another one of my favorite kind of books with the sad, kind, and yet tough P.I. as the main character. Max is having an impossible time recovering from the death of his child and the loss of his wife; even the death of his dog. This former cop has still left the family house sitting just as it was even though he can’t live there. He keeps thinking he’ll find one more clue, one more link to his family. But he has to take cases to pay the bills just like all of us. This time though he takes some he really shouldn’t have. I can guarantee you will never figure out the conclusion until the last page. And it is worth reading all the way to the last page.

Obviously, Lambert is good at defining characters because I already feel as if I know Max. I liked him as you already know. There were some action scenes where it almost felt as if I was watching a movie. Writing about and describing action and keeping the reader from being confused is not an easy thing to do; at least not with this reader. I knew “who was who” so to speak and even felt that emotion and tension of wanting the good guys or girls to win.

A really good book, definitely worth your time. The only problem I can see is that Max Boucher Book 2 doesn’t exist yet.

With a vengeful enemy hunting her down, she can’t afford to bring anyone into her world, so she is none too pleased when she awakens in a cell along with Marc, a human who stirs feelings she both fears and longs for.

Marc has no idea what he’s getting himself into, but one thing’s for certain—Ava is in danger. While he pushes her to reunite with her estranged family, the desire between them is far too hot and the emotions binding them far too great for either of them to ignore. They may come from two different worlds, but Marc will march through hell and back in order to protect and claim Ava as his own.

Enter a world where vampires are split into four categories, each with their own abilities. Where shifters go through the Change in a number of weeks, not instantaneously. This is the world where we meet Ava and Marc. It starts off simple enough, but we soon get into a story that also has mystery and intrigue too. Ava was left all alone after she left her family, thinking she was doing the right thing. They have searched for her for many years, but so have others.

The attraction between Marc and Ava has been bubbling between them since Marc first entered the place where Ava worked. Once he gets involved in her world, that attraction is on fire! They only have a couple of steamy moments before the story takes over, but there is a constant pull between them.

Ava’s brothers are the rest of the series (I’m presuming for reasons given in the story), and they are each different from the others, and interesting in their own ways.

There were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading, and the pace was smooth. You are definitely left with more questions than answers, needing the next book in the series.

For a quick-witted story with twists and turns of the paranormal sort, then I can definitely recommend this book.

Could she possibly refuse a duke’s hand—in favor of a sardonic, sinful rake?

Lady Betsy Wilde’s first season was triumphant by any measure, and a duke has proposed—but before marriage, she longs for one last adventure.

No gentleman would agree to her scandalous plan—but Lord Jeremy Roden is no gentleman. He offers a wager. If she wins a billiards game, he’ll provide the breeches.

If he wins…she is his, for one wild night.

But what happens when Jeremy realizes that one night will never be enough? In the most important battle of his life, he’ll have to convince Betsy to say no to the duke.

After a long research work the medical science comes buy sildenafil india out with some effective medications. Exercise sildenafil canada – Physical activity is necessary to keep your healthcare provider informed of any non-prescription or prescription medicines you take including herbal supplements, vitamins and antacids. I knew this book was going to be fun. I’ve been following The Wildes of Lindow Castle for a while and every single book in the series is a winner. Say No to the Duke continues the saga about a very unusual family, and as always, I giggle and snicker at various times because of their antics and/or dialogue.

This can be a standalone read. Indeed, I’d forgotten a certain part so I was still enjoying it. However, when I got to the part where Jeremy figures things out, I was stunned. I believe my jaw dropped and my eyes popped because suddenly I DID remember what had happened previously and I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Seriously? All this time? And for the price that was paid – oh did I get steamed. It was totally a fist-bump moment when Betsy (a/k/a Boadicea) let her actions speak for her feelings. I would have done it twice for good measure. I wasn’t alone in feeling that way, Lady Knowe did too. I really liked Betsy’s aunt. Because of all that, I changed my mind a bit – reading the previous book in the series, which is another great read btw, can enhance a reader’s enjoyment with this one.

In the previous book, Jeremy was instrumental in helping the main characters through their plot twists and conundrums, but now the stakes are higher. His feelings of annoyance in the past blossoms into something wonderful – feelings that make him uncomfortable, like lust, and fascination and possessiveness (in a good way) and the poor guy doesn’t know what to do. Until he stops and pays attention to himself, to finally understand, to realize he is worthy of love and he wants it, with Betsy. To see a tortured hero finally see a light at the end of the tunnel is a glorious thing, but he’s not a pushover by any means. His strength is tested but he perseveres. He has an estranged father and their meeting was momentous and really important to what comes later in the novel. I rather liked Jeremy’s dad.

Lady Tallow is a secondary character that left a sour taste in my mouth, figuratively speaking. She was so nasty. I respected Thaddeus immensely because he had some very good qualities, but I wanted to hug him when he reacted to something Lady Tallow said. I hope someday he’ll get his own HEA – he’s a bit stuck-up but a good egg.

As far as internal conflicts, Betsy’s happiness is still being poisoned by something that was said when she was 14 years old. It’s amazing the lengths some will go to ensure they don’t get hurt ever again. The heroine had an epiphany and it was quite wonderful to read as it came about. Jeremy, like I said, is estranged from his dad, but there is the matter of his PTSD from the war. That is a huge hurtle to overcome, or at least deal with it in a healthy manner, and it does play a significant role in the plot thread.

There is a villain which was well written because I completely agreed that the person was a twisted, sorry soul. I had no sympathy whatsoever and was glad when Jeremy and Betsy figured things out. Not only that, but I was so happy when the family stood in support of Jeremy. Awesome scenes!

The scene with Thaddeus’s mom, the Duchess of Eversley, Lady Knowe, Betsy and Jeremy and a couple of others at the auction, was a hoot. There was a lot of grinning leading up to that part and certainly during it. I enjoyed Ms. James’ humor and I am of the impression that the author had just as much fun writing those scenes as much as I liked reading them.

The final chapter acts like a pre-epilogue to the epilogue. I did sniffle a bit but so did Betsy. The two combined made for a perfect, wonderful, special happy ever after and I sighed with satisfaction.

Say No to the Duke is a delight, full of charm, wit and passion. The romance is cheerfully rocky with a payoff that made me happy. This is an excellent addition to the series and Jeremy is going to fit right in with the Wilde family. I give this novel a solid recommendation to both historical romance readers and fans of the author because it’s splendid entertainment.

Raiden lives a normal life working as a teacher, and he certainly cares for his students. However, at night he has vivid dreams of beings with extraordinary powers.

Raiden soon discovers that not only are the Enlai real, but they are in the middle of a war and one of his students, Sarah, might be the key to the outcome. Forced from the life he knew, Raiden joins The Resistance in hopes of saving Sarah and all of humanity from the sinister Following. I was intrigued from the moment I started reading, and I couldn’t wait to learn more about the Enlai! However, I must mention that this book contains a lot of graphic fighting and large-scale battle sequences. Readers sensitive to violence have been forewarned.

Mr. Michael chose to tell this story from multiple viewpoints, and I think that format worked very well. I enjoyed seeing the tale unfold from the perspectives of various characters. While I liked Raiden, I especially enjoyed the sections told from Yuran’s point of view. Yuran is chief of the Shadows, and he is not what I expected. He’s known more than his share of sorrow and injustice in the past, but he has not let his anger define him. He’s grown into an excellent leader, and I look forward to reading more about him in the next installment of the series.

This plot is also very well paced. The intense action is balanced by some slower sections and exposition necessary to enlighten the reader concerning the various tribes of Enlai and how they have impacted human history. I will say the intensity of this fantasy goes up a notch toward the conclusion. As I read, I was plunged from one battle into another with just a bit of rest in between. It was a bit overwhelming at times!

I found the world Mr. Michael has created fascinating. I really liked learning about the different tribes and their abilities, and would love to learn more. I have so many questions bouncing around in my mind! For example, what would happen if Enlai from different tribes married and had children? What abilities would their children inherit? Abilities from both tribes, or just one? Or would their children be something completely different?

I’m so glad I had the opportunity to read The Nexus Mirror. I can’t wait to learn more about the Enlai, and I will definitely be looking for the next book in this series!

In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a Tätowierer (the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners.

Imprisoned for over two and a half years, Lale witnesses horrific atrocities and barbarism—but also incredible acts of bravery and compassion. Risking his own life, he uses his privileged position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive.

A vivid, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful re-creation of Lale Sokolov’s experiences as the man who tattooed the arms of thousands of prisoners with what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust, The Tattooist of Auschwitz is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions.

Harrowing, heartbreaking and moving.

There are lots of books that stay with the reader far after the last page. I’ve read books lately that are heartbreaking. It’s good that they’ve touched a nerve. This book… I’m not sure where to start.

The writing flows well and drew me right in to the story. I wanted to know what would happen to Lale. My heart went out to Lale. I’ve done research and learned about the Holocaust, but this book put things into perspective. Lale did, yet didn’t, have faith and I could understand why. I liked Gita, too. Despite what she’d been through, she never lost her faith. They were a beautiful thing in the midst of such a disgusting event. Even when Gita was at her worst, Lale saw her best. That’s love. That’s the stuff romance should be made of.

I read this book in the course of a day and it was quick, yet hard to read. I have to admit, the note in the back of the book where the author talks about the real Lale, the real man, was the most heartbreaking. This real man went through hell more than once, yet he never quit. I loved the line about how he had to get the words out to the author so he could see Gita (she’d passed away by then). I don’t know how you can’t read this book and not feel for this man.

If you want a book that will make you think, feel and probably cry, then this is the book for you. Recommended.

In the fall of 1789, on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales, a dense, persistent fog enshrouds the village of Ingleton. Shadowed spirits hide in the mist and bedevil the townsfolk, heralding a tragedy that has befallen one of their own.

Edmond continues to search for Alexandra, his fiancée, who disappeared the same night that the mist set upon their town. Presumed dead by all others, he visits Alexandra’s empty grave, desperate for any hint of what has become of her. Weary from the sleepless nights on his quest, no longer able to stay awake, Edmond falls into a dream before her headstone and there obtains clues from Alexandra as to her whereabouts.

Haunted all the while by a malevolent spirit, Edmond follows the trail that Alexandra left for him and enters the underworld, only to learn that he has been there before, and in fact, quite often. But more, he discovers how he is to blame for Alexandra’s disappearance.

A dark literary novel rich in imagery, Discussion of a Decent Dream unearths the consequences of a child’s decision to surrender his heart in exchange for unholy power and transcendent knowledge.

Discussion of a Decent Dream is a Finalist in Britain’s Wishing Self Book Awards in the Adult category.

This is one of the most beautifully written books I’ve read in a long time. The words and phrases were so lyrical it was almost like reading poetry. It is not a book to be hurried through. It is, instead, a book to take your time with, to savor, perhaps even to reread in order to fully grasp all the richness that fills it.

The basic story is told in two parts– one point of view is Edmond’s, while he searches for Alexandra. And on the other hand, we have Vigil who is overlooking the action and recording it. The book is told on many levels and in many times, with these times sometimes colliding with each other. There are symbols and images I felt I was just on the edge of grasping, and that did occasionally frustrate me. However I feel as if it was my issue more than the book’s.

I’m looking forward to delving back into this book and try to fully understand all the nuances. Kudos!

I found this to be a fun and sexy short story. I enjoyed how even with things turn pear-shaped for Jae she didn’t get down on herself or let the bad situation ruin her efforts and mood. I found her reactions modern and relatable – determined to do things herself and do her best and her attitude was mostly positive, despite the specter of her horrid ex-boyfriend hovering for a while.

I also enjoyed how the romance built quickly between Jae and Hanson. While Jae didn’t just jump into Hanson’s arms – she had a few perfectly natural doubts and questions about getting intimate with a virtual stranger – the chemistry and discussion between the two soon put them both at ease and the sizzle between them turned erotic. I can understand this might be very fast for some readers – but with the short length of the story and the impulse of the moment I feel the author did a really good job with the parameters given. I also thought the chemistry and desire between Jae and Hanson was believable and well written.

Steamy and adventurous, I enjoyed this quick short story. While I feel the story had more of a Happy For Now style of ending than a more traditional Happy Ever After overall I found it fun, light and a sexy read.

AT THE HEIGHT OF WORLD WAR II, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was home to 75,000 residents, consuming more electricity than New York City. But to most of the world, the town did not exist. Thousands of civilians–many of them young women from small towns across the South–were recruited to this secret city, enticed by solid wages and the promise of war-ending work. Kept very much in the dark, few would ever guess the true nature of the tasks they performed each day in the hulking factories in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains. That is, until the end of the war–when Oak Ridge’s secret was revealed.

Drawing on the voices of the women who lived it–women who are now in their eighties and nineties– The Girls of Atomic City rescues a remarkable, forgotten chapter of American history from obscurity. Denise Kiernan captures the spirit of the times through these women: their pluck, their desire to contribute, and their enduring courage. Combining the grand-scale human drama of The Worst Hard Time with the intimate biography and often troubling science of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, The Girls of Atomic City is a lasting and important addition to our country’s history.

I picked this book up because I’d read Radium Girls and I wanted another book in the same vein.  I’m glad I found this book. I learned a lot about the Oak Ridge facility and Tubealloy. I knew some things about the Manhattan Project, but this brought it all home.

Someone had to make the materials for the bomb. These men and women did, but they weren’t allowed to talk about it. I can’t imagine living and working in a situation where you can’t talk about what you do and if you do talk, you can get into a lot of trouble. Craziness.

The author sticks right to the main players and lets the ladies and men of Oak Ridge do the talking. I was sucked right into the story and couldn’t put it down.

Like I said, I learned things I didn’t know–such as women involved with the creating of Tubealloy and mentioning more than once that the bomb, as well as the ingredients, were dangerous. There were women who should’ve been included on the Pulitzer Prize for that event.

If you want a book that will make you think, remind you it’s good not to have to deal with mud and show the possibilities of Americans during the second world war, then this might be the book for you.
