It’s been a while since I’ve read a romantic suspense by the author and I’m glad that I did it now because I loved it.
The heroine is bold while also human and emotional especially after she’s left with two small kids and a widow with lots of questions about her late husband.
Matt was an interesting addition to the story and I enjoyed how he made the transition for Sunshine much easier plus that push and pull between them was just fire.
I’m looking forward to read the next books in the series and already finished book no. 6 , review to come soon.

I enjoyed the author's previous books and I couldn't pas the opportunity to read her latest story.
A story told in multiple pov, with a great mix of characters and trails, a lot of secrets and hidden stories, the author has created a perfect tale of family and friends where trusting any of the characters is out of discussion.
Trust no one, add all the small clues that may not make any sense to you in the beginning and be prepared to be shocked by the conclusion. Because I was and I really didn't see that coming.

Maddy is an author and when she gets a new opportunity to write her new story, she won't think twice before taking that chance.
Deciding to be a caretaker for an old house, she starts a journey in an unknown place. I would be scared to take those risks personally, but I think she was brave enough to get away from her abusive relationship and make herself disappear.
An old house will always have its stories to tell, and this one hides many more secrets than she can ever imagine.
The novel is gripping, with characters that made me root for them but also hate to no extent. Her ex boyfriend is despicable, her best friend is good but she could've been a better friend. Many twisted moments and secrets unveiled one by one in the end.
The last straw wasn't that wow for me and while the ending felt quite rushed; I enjoyed this book.

I haven’t read all of the previous books in this series. While this is book number 4, I didn’t have any problems driving in from the start.
As usual, Jodi Burnett creates challenging characters that will keep me entertained and intrigued. The addition of a ranch along with all the heartbreaking scenes, made for a stop and breath moments, put the book down and pick it up again.
That ending was very unexpected and makes me want to read the next story asap.
Fast paced, thrilling and addictive suspenseful story.

I loved this book and I’m kicking myself for not finding it earlier.
I loved the cases and how everything runs smoothly until we only get snippets of the other ongoing investigation that, I’ll be honest, I’m much more interested.
Charlie is such a great character, and I loved how we get to see him become the man he always has been, but someone else decided he needs to pay for a crime he didn’t commit. Stakes are high and while he gets just a few pieces together, it creates enough interaction to keep me guessing who was behind it all. Having to learn his way through social media and all the new technologies just shows how much the world has changed in every field in the sixteen years he was locked in.
I'm so looking forward to seeing where this is going and how much he has to discover more for his justice.

The sleep of reason is everything I didn't know I needed from a thriller.
It holds my attention with a gripping hand from the first chapter til the last page. The novel had my pulse racing throughout the scenes where I was on the edge of my seat to find out how everything will evolve.
Intriguing characters, one too many, but with their own place within the story, a feel of dread while the terror will be spread even more by political groups among people that look up to them for votes and other mischievous schemes and a great heroine that has to overcome her own personal burns.
I enjoyed the writing style, and it was easy to follow along with all the plots and actions taken.
These are making for a great debut story that many thriller lovers will enjoy as much as I have.

Elena Benito is hiding away from her brother, who is a well-known mafia head.

Dane is an interesting character that wants revenge. And what better way than finding his uncle’s killer? There's just a small impediment in his plan. He hasn't expected to fall in love with his enemies’ sister.

I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to read more from the author in the future.

Talk about a wild ride! I couldn’t stop reading it!
The more the bodies and clues were let out, the more I wanted to know who was doing this and, mostly, why. I enjoyed the other books in this series and while we get a little of a background for Mackenzie, she’s quite an interesting character.
After finding out that all these victims were related to her personal life, Mackenzie went on a hunt and got even more determined to catch the killer.
Fast-paced, intriguing and twisted, this thriller is a must read one for any genre fanatics.

“A book of murder” was my first read in the Smart Woman's Mystery series.
While I haven't read the previous ones, I didn't feel like I’m missing much about the characters or their development.
When the smart women are invited to a long weekend at a famous writer's house, they couldn't pass the opportunity to unwind and rub elbows with the literal minds.
After the first dinner party, a screeching scream is waking up some of the guest. Later on, someone is found dead and here's where the story gets more intriguing.
They all eat the same dish, but only one was attacked. Who has a hidden agenda in here? Anyone can be considered a suspect at this point.
Told in a dual timeline, the story has quite a few unexpected turns along the way and kept me guessing till the last chapters.
Very engaging novel with interesting characters and a twisted ending.
