  I was excited to get to read The Wrong Victim by Allison Brennan. The third in her Quinn and Costa series, every book makes me feel like I get to know these characters even more. The level of detail in the crime and story creates an intense setting throughout that never lets up. I felt like I was reading an episode of CSI! I really liked how their was a romance but it never overtook the story and it was not the main focus.     If you’re looking for a suspenseful series, this definitely fits that bill.  Thank you to Harlequin and Mira for having me on this blog tour!  Synopsis: A bomb explodes on a sunset charter cruise out of Friday Harbor at the height of tourist season and kills everyone on board. Now this fishing and boating community is in shock and asking who would commit such a heinous crime—the largest act of mass murder in the history of the San Juan Islands. Was the explosion an act of domestic terrorism, or was one of th...

  The Romantic Agenda is the first time that I have read about an asexual character. The representation was wonderful and I think this book is a great addition for the ace community. Joy was a delight to read about, witty and confident. The only thing in this story that I would have changed was the overuse of the “miscommunication” trope. I wanted to tell them to just talk to each other. However, everything else was so well done, this was easy to move past. This is also a great book for strong friendships. Can’t go wrong with that!  

  Crimson Summer is the first book I’ve read by Heather Graham, which I’m shocked about since she’s written over a 100 books. Crimson Summer picks up after Danger in Numbers and while you can read this and still enjoy it, I feel reading that one first would have enhanced Crimson Summer for me. I happen to love reading anything about cults and this one had all the creepiness and believability that I needed to end up really enjoying this. Another thing I enjoyed was Amy. She was a take no prisoners, tough woman who modeled strength and courage.  

Fool Me Once by Ashley Winstead starts off strong and goes nowhere but up. Lee Stoner is a flawed yet completely relatable character. Her chemistry with Ben was off the charts. I loved their banter and the deep way they connected over their fathers. What had me laughing out loud several times were the nicknames that Lee kept picking up. I loved seeing Lee’s determination and drive when it came to her job. She was good at what she did and she knew it. That kind of confidence is inspiring to see. I was completely satisfied with the ending but I do have one question- what the heck does Mac do?
