The unsolved murder of a young activist leads to the discovery of much darker crimes in New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan’s latest compelling thriller to feature the young, edgy detective Kara Quinn and the loner FBI agent Matt Costa. This time they work to uncover possible ties to a high-stakes cartel in the Southwest desert.

Something mysterious is killing the wildlife in the mountains just south of Tucson. When a college intern turned activist sets out to collect her own evidence, she, too, ends up dead. Local law enforcement is slow to get involved. That’s when the mobile FBI unit goes undercover to infiltrate the town and its copper refinery in search of possible leads.

Quinn and Costa find themselves scouring the desolate landscape, which keeps revealing clues to something much darker—greed, child trafficking and more death. As the body count adds up, it’s clear they have stumbled onto much more than they bargained for. Now they must figure out who is at the heart of this mayhem and stop them before more innocent lives are lost.

 

Multiple crimes colliding make for an addictive story when Quinn and Costa once again join forces to take down the bad guys in TELL NO LIES by Allison Brennan! I was quickly intrigued by the concept of the story of this second book in the series and numerous undercover missions held my attention throughout. I’m looking forward to more from this dynamic duo!

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a mystery chock full of danger and surprises around every corner.

Falling for your best friend is one thing, accidentally getting knocked up by him is another…

Hockey hottie Garrett Dubiak has been my best friend since college and the one constant in my life the past seven years. Through distance, career changes, and other relationships, we’ve always found our way back to each other.

Including one wild weekend this winter, when he finally told me he wanted more… wanted everything from me.

Too afraid to admit I felt the same, I told him I needed time.

Twelve weeks later, here I am, pregnant with his baby, alone, and terrified.

He’s my best friend. He deserves to know the truth.

So I swallow my fear, my pride, and I shoot my shot. I just hope he’s still willing to have me—and our baby.

 

Such an adorable couple! I was quickly hooked after starting this first book in Stacey Lynn’s latest hockey series and I’m anxiously awaiting more! GAME CHANGER is a sassy friends to lovers romance with a huge twist and kicks off the Las Vegas Vipers hockey series nicely. I wanted a bit more development of what their past was all about ultimately, but overall I really connected with them and was entrenched in their story from start to finish.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves a dramatic hockey romance with strong characters and heartwarming yet sexy connections.

From Greek island fling

To forever?

So when gorgeous Atlas Othonos, who has recently inherited the resort, arrives set on selling it, Hermione has just two weeks to change his mind. But as their Valentine’s Day deadline approaches, it’s Hermione’s feelings for Atlas that are changing into something more…

 

Love in the nick of time! A gorgeous Greek island sets the scene for a new trilogy from Jennifer Faye that is sure to delight Harlequin Romance fans. GREEK HEIR TO CLAIM HER HEART is the first book in the Greek Paradise Escape series featuring the manager of a luxury resort meeting her match when the new owner of said resort arrives planning to sweep the rug out from under her. The characters were intriguing from the start and their gentle love story held my interest throughout.

I recommend this book to fans of exotic locations for a sweet and luxurious romance.

Former military pilot Carson Campbell sees only the bold and beautiful redhead wreaking havoc with his own plan to be the father his young daughter needs.

Starlight always leaves me satisfied! With the fifth book taking place in this delightful fictional small town Michelle Major brings wholesome goodness to life when two injured hearts collide and magic begins to happen in STARLIGHT AND THE SINGLE DAD. The characters are easy to like with emotional back stories and sparks quickly flashing that don’t take long to ignite into love when they least expect it. It’s always a pleasure visiting Starlight!

I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes a small town filled with life and emotion that always delivers a feel good romance just when you need it most.
