Book review for, "Unknown Threat," by Lynn H. Blackburn

 

About the book:

US Secret Service Special Agent Luke Powell is lucky to be alive. Three of his fellow agents have died in unusual circumstances in the past ten weeks. Luke is devastated by the loss of his friends and colleagues, and his inability to locate the killer feels like a personal failure. He's an expert at shielding others, but now the protectors are in need of protection.

FBI Special Agent Faith Malone is driven to succeed and confident in her ability to solve every case she's assigned. She's been put in charge of the investigation into the unprecedented attacks, and with Luke's life in danger, the stakes have never been higher. But it's hard to know how to fight back when you don't know who the enemy is.

As more agents are targeted, Luke and Faith will have to work together to bring a killer to justice and prevent any more names from joining their fallen brothers and sisters on the Secret Service Wall of Honor.

My thoughts: 5/5 stars

Everytime I read one of Blackburn's book I rediscover how much of an awesome author she is. One of the best in the business at writing suspense, action, romance and Christianity.

Unknown Threat didn't disappoint, characters with layer after layer. And a plot that keeps thickening.

Faith and Luke had my attention at page one. 

Luke is this hard headed, secretive guy with a grudge against every FBI agent.

FBI agent Faith Malone is not the chick to mess with. She's as equally hard headed and refuses to be pushed around.

Now she's just gotta convince Luke she's not the enemy.

They work diligently on this case with twists and turns you don't see coming. 

  Luke and Faith's love story! I haven't read that kind of passion in awhile.

You know the love stories that give you butterflies in your tummy? This was definitely that!!

But the best part was that it never overshadowed the suspense and mystery. And the same vice versa. It was genius writing on Blackburn's behalf. Her writing style is always one of my favorites. I simply cannot wait for book two in the series !

Book review for, "Summer time Lilies," by LM Karen.

 

About the book:

There are three things you should know about Brittany Masters:

1. She’s a single mom and a nurse manager at the local cancer clinic

2. She has big plans, a quiet summer

3. She’s convinced that fudge pops are the answer to almost all of life’s most important questions

 A new neighbor, Matt, making friends with her son while simultaneously pursuing a relationship with her blow plans for a predictable summer right out of the water. A chance meeting at the cancer clinic where she works renews a connection with an old friend and gives her the perspective she’s been missing. From quiet nights on her front porch swing in Matt’s company to long talks in the clinic with her old/new friend, Brittany’s summer is anything but routine.

My thoughts: 3.5/5 

I thought the story was super cute! Very lovable characters and a sweet love story.

 I felt it lacked some conflict, but that can be good sometimes. It is definitely a comfort read. Something you curl up in bed with hot cocoa to read. Except it's a summer story, so maybe curl up in bed with some iced tea!

 Brittney is a very strong and hard headed person. But that's why I love her. She's an awesome mama bear to sweet, energetic Grady.

And Matt fits right into their family dynamic. Matt was such a sweet, understanding guy. And that made this love story even better. He's for sure swoon worthy!

 I absolutely love the friendship between Matt's sister and Brittany. Literally everything you can want in a potential sister in law/best friend.

 Overall a sweet read! 

PSA there was minimal swearing and a mention of God's name in vain. But other than that a very clean read.
