Thoughts of a Reader

I had high expectations for this book because it is a Christmas book by Melody Carlson. I was really excited to read it. I was not disappointed at all. This is a great heart warming novel in which I find myself enjoying the characters even the ones that you know would aggravate you in real life because they bring dimension to the storyline. It also has some mystery to the story adding to the already great plot. The only thing that I wish was that the book was a full novel instead of just a novella.

I have only read a few books by Lisa Carter so far but I will definitely say I have put her on my must read list. This book did not disappoint and not just because it is set in the mountains of North Carolina either. Kara Lockwood and Will McKenzie both have pasts that they need to come to terms with and leave in the past. Both of these characters will grab at your heart and have you rooting for them to finally open up their eyes to see they should be together. Also, Will’s dad and son as well as Kara’s foster mom make for some amazing secondary characters. This book had my attention from the beginning to the end.

Hostile Intent is the fourth book in Lynette Eason’s Danger Never Sleeps series. It is not necessary to have read the first three in order to enjoy this book. I found the very beginning to be somewhat confusing even though I had read the other books in the series. However, as I read a few more pages into the book, the events started to fall into place and the the plot thickened. One of the main characters, Ava Jackson, finds herself working with FBI Special Agent Caden Denning to uncover the mysteries revealed in the story. Lynette Eason does an excellent job connecting the reader to the characters. It is definitely a page turner and one mystery lovers will not want to miss.

The Chase by Lisa Harris is the second book in the US Marshals series. It is not necessary to read the first book, The Escape, in order to enjoy the second book. The author does an excellent job with character development and from the very first page, the reader will connect with the main characters, Madison James and Deputy US Marshal Jonas Quinn, as well as the secondary characters. This book is filled with mystery and suspense and will keep you on the edge of your seat. I found it hard to put down as I have with Lisa Harris’s previous books. So if you enjoy mystery and suspense, you will definitely enjoy this book..a must read!
