P.I. Nick Forrester comes to Cape Brendan ostensibly to assist with Caper Madness, a month-long celebration of everything Halloween. In reality he is tracking a woman on the run. Within days he is confronted by Annunciata Doyle, a vivid reminder of a pain-filled past.

After retreating to Cape Brendan in defeat and humiliation, Nunie Doyle’s only hope was to make the best of forced retirement. There, in this quaint tourist town on the shores of Lake Ontario, she earned the love and respect of new friends and neighbors—and put her talent for helping women to good use.

With the mutual goal of making Caper Madness the best ever, Nicke and Nunie fight tooth and nail on the personal level, each discovering a new side to the other, sides that make them consider making drastic changes for the rest of their lives.

This attraction: Is it complete madness– or sheer magic?

He’s only going back to stay with his uncle while his sister goes on vacation. He never intended to run into someone he hated right next door…

Ms. Lynch writes a smooth flowing story with lyrical sentences. She has put an Irish brogue in this story and you can almost feel the burr on your tongue as you read the lines. The town she’s created sounds like a lot of fun. The people living there are “capers” and it’s quaint and small. What other town would have a Halloween celebration all month with lots of activities? Then there’s the dancing witches…

When Nick meets the woman who caused his cop partner to commit suicide there, he’s determined to ignore her. That can be hard to do when she lives next door and is attractive.

The love story is sweet, he finds out he had some wrong assumptions on that case he was angry about, and there’s child sex abuse involved. It’s a lot like life: each person has their own view and makes judgements based on what they know. The problem is they may not know everything. This story points that out in more than one way and it’s a good lesson for all.

This is a very good read even though it’s short. It’s thought-provoking and the problems fictionalized are present in today’s world. The message here seems to be do something about it, and that’s a good way to live. This one is a keeper for me. The ending is great.

When the Civil War tears her family apart, Tassie Folden must journey from her Tennessee home to a new life with her aunt in Cincinnati. When she runs into trouble in dangerous territory, she is aided by a handsome Union officer. When their paths cross again, Tassie begins to wonder if her future might include him. But Major Micah Corchoran is the most secretive man she’s ever met. What is he hiding? And how can they have a future together if he won’t trust her?

Micah Corchoran uses his position in the Union Army to aid in a dangerous and secretive cause. Returning home from the war, he again encounters the lovely Southern belle he aided on the road. He’s already fallen for Tassie, but loving her could put his family at risk. Can he trust her with his secret?

When his secret comes to light and the schemes of a blackmailer are exposed, Tassie hopes her journey is complete. Does her future lie here or somewhere down the road?

During the Civil War, Tassandra Folden lost most of her family. When she finds herself alone in Piney Gap, Tennessee she decides to pack her few belongings to leave the memories of the war and its destruction behind her to travel north to make a new start with her Aunt Margot. Along her journey she becomes ill. Nursing and caring for her is a loving family that welcomes her. Will Tassandra make her new home with the Corchoran family or will hope that her brother survived the war lead her to Cincinnati?

Somewhere Down the Road is a warm story that centers around compassion and family. Though Tassie is a stranger she is welcomed and loved within the Corchoran household. She is included in the daily chores and quilt making. This is a heartwarming book with a family that shows such compassion that they would reach out to help a stranger. The story grabbed at my heart and I had hopes that everything would work out. It wouldn’t be a story if it didn’t have a bad weed trying to spoil the beauty of family life trying to blossom. Caroline Clark knows that Micah Corchoran will marry her when he returns from the war, but will Tassie’s appearance alter Caroline’s dream of matrimony?

Much details or depth wasn’t given about each character but they are likable. I found myself wanting good for them. During the war they each lost so much, they didn’t dwell on it but found the strength to help others. I thought this was very encouraging. I enjoy historical romance and family settings and this was a book that brought both. The author did a good job in relaying the storyline as well as including historical facts.

I was a little confused about the brother Matthew’s roll in the book. I couldn’t follow or understand what happened on the battlefield that led to such secrecy. Also the physical attraction was evident between Tassie and Micah but I didn’t feel the coziness of their attraction building into love.

This is a nice story with a little mystery that kept my interest. A balance of good and bad characters makes for an interesting story. This would be a book that I would recommend to those that enjoy a casual read that doesn’t include a lot of action but still a story that leaves an impact.

Three people are missing. Detective Zac Herrera knows their disappearances are connected. He needs psychic Mallory Woods to prove it and he’s hoping their past connection will convince her to help him.

Mallory Woods isn’t an ordinary accountant. The attractive Amerasian has a secret—the ability to see the past when she touches an object or a person—though she has resisted using her gift since a traumatic event in high school. Except she can’t turn her back on the missing victims, or Zac, the man she once cared about. But can he protect her from the evil reaching out for her?

As Zac and Mallory work together, their attraction blossoms. With a madman on the loose, will they survive to find out if they have a future?

Can Zac and Mallory move beyond the past to have a future together?

Zac and Mallory have a bit of a complicated past. They both had secret crushes on each other in high school, but never confessed their feelings for each other. Years later, Zac still can’t get Mallory out of his head. Zac needs Mallory’s help to solve his latest case, but deep down he knows his feelings would have compelled him to reach out to her eventually. Will Mallory be able to see Zac for the man he’s become, or will he always be the boy she tutored in high school?

The mystery surrounding the missing people wrapped up very simply and quickly. Most of Zac’s work on the case is behind the scenes, so readers who like the kind of mystery they can try to solve before the end will not be able to do that with this story. Mallory’s gift allows the villain to be exposed very easily. Then it was just a matter of time before Zac was able to bring the culprit to justice. I do wish that the mystery had been more detailed and drawn out. However, I still found the conclusion to be pretty satisfying.

Most of the tension in this mystery revolves around Zac and Mallory. Both of them were a bit hung up on the past and were constantly wondering if what they were feeling was real or just the memories of their crushes. They had great chemistry that Ms. Kaye built to the point that even simple actions were charged with sexual tension. I do like the fact that they didn’t rush into anything serious. They were renewing their acquaintance under some intense circumstances, and they both recognized that. I have no doubt that after solving the case, they’ll take the time they need to truly get to know each other and will be well on their way to a happy ending.

Overall, I found Touching the Past to be a quick, satisfying read that I read straight through. Mallory and Zac make a good couple, and I had fun watching them rediscover each other as adults. I recommend it to anyone looking for a light and entertaining mystery.

Jolie Montgomery, a twenty-one-year-old woman, wakes up in an alley next to her corpse. She has no memories of her murder or the night she died. She didn’t even see the killer’s face before he or she took her life. Wanting justice, Jolie seeks answers in the only way a ghost can…by stalking the lead detective on the case.

Avrianna Heavenborn is determined to find the person responsible for a young woman’s death. She gets closer to the killer’s identity with every clue she uncovers, and Jolie is with her every step of the way.

But if they don’t solve her murder soon, Jolie will be an earth-bound spirit forever.

Everyone dies with some kind of unfinished business.

Jolie was such a fascinating protagonist. Her reaction to her death gave me a clear understanding of the smart, witty person she had been in life and continued to be in the afterlife, especially once she realized what she was capable of as a ghost. There were a few times when I giggled while reading her internal monologue, and that definitely wasn’t something I was expecting to do given the serious subject matter of this tale!

There were a few things about the murderer that I never quite understood. I briefly wondered if I’d accidentally stumbled into book two or three of a series based on how this character was written, although after researching it online this didn’t actually seem to be the case after all. It would have been helpful to have more details about this particular aspect of the plot so that certain pieces of information would be easier to pick up on.

The dialogue was well done. There isn’t a great deal of room in a story of this length for exposition, so tucking it into ordinary conversations was a smart idea. Doing it this way gave me precisely the right amount of background information about the characters I was most curious about. At a few different points during the dialogue I wanted to know more about what the characters were discussing. They provided enough information about what was currently going on, but they also whetted my appetite for more. While I don’t know if the author is planning to write a sequel, there is certainly plenty of room here to do so.

Ghost of Death is a good choice for anyone who likes the paranormal side of science fiction.

Jim Dunn was comfortably settled into the autumn of his life, with his wife Abby. Or so he thought, until the day Jill Francent hired him to build a library in her Victorian fixer-upper. By the time he’d finished building the bookshelves and helping her with miscellaneous home repairs, he’d fallen head-over-heels in love.

Unfortunately for Jim, he believed in old-fashioned notions of fidelity, loyalty, and honor. And when he finally came to terms with the situation, fate pulled the rug out from under his feet.

Anyone who has ever been in a long-term relationship has faced temptation at some point. Whether it’s better to ignore it or to face it directly remains to be seen, but either way Jim can’t forget that it exists.

Jim’s character development was superb. His honorable intentions were etched into every single scene, If anything, they grew stronger as he became more attached to his new friend. Seeing him wrestle with his crush on Jill only made me like him more because of how determined he was to stick to what he believed was the only moral response to those feelings.

The friendship between Jim and Jill was wonderful. My favorite scenes were the ones where he puttered around her house fixing things while she told him stories about the life she led before she moved to town. There was so much warmth and kindness in their conversations that I couldn’t stop reading. It felt like I was sitting in a quiet corner of Jill’s house watching everything unfold instead of reading a tale about two fictional characters.

What really made me fall in love with this book, though, was how it ended. It was an absolutely perfect fit for the tone and themes that had been established earlier. As I approached the final pages, I wanted to know what happened while at the same time also dreading the reality of saying goodbye to characters I’d come to care about so much.

King Arthur’s Last Knight is the best story I’ve read so far in 2015. It’s a must-read!

All Toby Lawson wants is to go to college to become a teacher and to be free of her alcoholic mother and some painful memories. But when her mother nearly burns the house down, Toby must put her dreams on hold and return home to care for her. The only time she isn’t lonely and miserable is when she’s listening to her heartthrob, Elvis Presley. His music takes her away and helps her escape from everything wrong in her life.

Noah Rivers has always loved Toby, but no matter what he says, she can‘t get past the fact that her drunken mother once kissed him. He soon realizes the true problem lies in Toby’s belief she’s not good enough for him and in her fear she will be just like her mother.

What will it take to prove to her that she deserves to be happy, and that he would give anything to be the man to make her dreams come true?

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. If only there was a way to know what’s waiting around the next bend.

It was fascinating to see how Toby developed over the course of the plot. My first impression of her was of someone who was sweet and innocent. While her personality definitely included those traits, she had much more going on beneath the surface than I originally assumed. Peeling back these layers to get to know the real Toby was satisfying.

The cast of characters was incredibly large for a story of this size. I had trouble keeping track of all of them, especially when it came to individuals who only played a peripheral role in the plot. It would have been helpful to either have fewer characters to keep track of or to have their names and relationship to the protagonist listed in a glossary somewhere.

Noah and Toby’s relationship was well written. Once I adjusted to the kind of banter they liked to use with one another, I began noticing the warmth behind their words. They had such a rich history that their friendship was unmistakable and rooting for them to become more than just friends was unavoidable. What really made the romance work for me, though, was how Ms. Dean approached the obstacles that threatened to keep these characters apart. The reasons why they might not make a good match were realistic and serious.

I’d recommend End of Lonely Street to anyone who is interested in taking a sneak peek into what it was like to live in the 1950s.

Smart and independent, Sarah Zion is a woman who rarely apologizes. As head pastry chef and co-owner of Crazy for Cake, she feels the small business pressure to keep her dreams alive. Winning the grand prize at the Trio Trifecta would be the icing on the cake. She is caught off guard when smooth talking, gorgeous Gavin Arnold folds himself into her life.

When a help wanted sign appears, Gavin jumps at the opportunity to infiltrate Crazy for Cake. He sleeps, eats, and breathes his personal security firm and is on an assignment to stop at nothing to make sure his client wins the Trio Trifecta baking competition, even if that means acing out Sarah’s bakery. What Gavin doesn’t see coming could cost him. Will personal feelings rise above professional obligations?

Sarah Zion co-owns her own bakery – Crazy for Cake – with her best friend, Fiona. Sarah’s delighted when the most edible man she’s seen in months comes into the store, and not even the small disappointment of his not being a fan of chocolate can dampen her appetite for him. Gavin is pleased to find his numerous attempts to get Sarah’s attention have finally paid off. His millionaire boss sent him down on assignment to infiltrate Crazy for Cake and find out some of their secrets. Gavin’s boss and wife were chagrined to come second in the national bake off to the small-timers, Sarah and Fiona, and are determined to beat them at any cost this year. But the more Gavin tastes Sarah’s mouth-watering treats, and gets to know the woman herself, the more he finds himself divided over work and his growing emotional attachment. Will he pick the right side of this food fight?

This is a fun, lighthearted story that I mostly enjoyed. The major plotline of Gavin being “undercover” to discover Sarah and Fiona’s cooking secrets was interesting, but I found it quite difficult to push past it and warm up to Gavin. He’s a charming character, full of good humour, self-analysis and a sexy smile, but knowing from the start that he was there (albeit in a friendly, non-threatening manner) to commit industrial espionage and steal Sarah’s cookery secrets really dampened my enthusiasm for him. The deception lasted a short while (approximately a third of the book) and I have to be honest, Sarah’s reaction upon discovering his secret was really well handled to my mind. But at heart, the deception was a wedge I, personally, just couldn’t get past. I couldn’t make myself relax and go with the flow, to trust in the happy ending when I knew Gavin had purposely tracked Sarah down, connected with her and flirted up a storm simply to steal from her.

I want to point out that other readers may feel vastly different to me. Sarah is not a stupid heroine, and Gavin never let the flirtation go too far beyond the line. I don’t feel he had any desire/intention of breaking Sarah’s hard or really toying with her emotions. So possibly this is just a peeve of my own. It’s not common for me, however, to not warm up to the hero, so it was a different experience for me. I really struggled with this, especially as I enjoyed so much of the rest of the story.

I think it’s also important to point out that despite my lack of warmth for Gavin, this is still a fun, addictive read. I absolutely turned the pages of this story eagerly, devouring the scenes and desperately wanting to know what happened next. There were a few times I had to mentally stretch reality (like when she guessed Gavin’s phone password) but overall I found the situations they were presented with fun and understandable. The authors have done an amazing job with a good story, vibrant and interesting characters and a serious, meaty plot that kept my attention. I found there was a high degree of chemistry between Gavin and Sarah, and a number of steamy kisses, enthusiastic embraces and sexual tension strong enough to melt iron. Apart from a few bumps in the road I really enjoyed this story and will happily try others by these authors.

Suzette Forrester didn’t want to enter the town’s Christmas Tree Contest, but after her BFF forges her entry, Suzette’s competitive spirit revs up. Beating the town’s high-profile socialite, Katarina Snodgrass becomes priority one. Until Suzette discovers architect Spence James has returned to Merryvale.

Spence can’t reconcile the geeky girl from high school with the hot babe ordering antique ornaments at his father’s store, but there’s no denying the chemistry. He joins Suzette’s decorating team and their sizzle rages into an inferno, threatening to put them on Santa’s naughty list.Too bad Spence’s NYC girlfriend, Darlene, arrives unannounced—and pregnant.

Suzette’s holiday promise goes from tinsel bright to a lump of coal, but she’s determined to ignore her broken heart and beat Katarina. Even if it means collaborating with a man who now seems more like Santa’s nemesis than a Christmas angel.

Suzette Forrester has given up competing with her high school nemesis, Katarina. Every year the pretty, confidant, smug redhead wins the Christmas Tree decorating competition, and every year Suzette has had to swallow defeat with as much grace as she could muster. This year, even with the temptation of a dinner date with tv-soap hunk Tripp Anthony isn’t enough to force her hand and enter the competition. Until she discovers her three best and well meaning friends have rounded up the five grand entry fee and put her name back in the basket on the sly. After a tussle of words, Suzette is determined to do her friends proud and beat Katarina, but her nemesis’ parting shot – a lunch date with Spence James – has her feeling like the clumsy high school outcast once again. Can Suzette re-find her Christmas magic and win both the competition and the guy of her dreams?

This is a fun, lighthearted Christmas novel about the pitfalls and delights of a small town. I liked how Suzette found things both similar and completely different to her high school years. The same crushes, the same high-school bickering, and still managing to put a more mature outlook on it all and laying to rest some of those demons. The author does an amazing job of breezing us through the history – which has such a hold on Suzette and importance to her current actions – without letting it weigh down the plot and the events presently going on. It made the pace feel to me as if it was going along at a good clip, and not being bogged down while still letting me understand exactly why things were how they are for Suzette.

I also could appreciate how both Spence and Suzette had spent time away from their small town, living their own lives and growing up. It wasn’t until they both came home, and found each other again, that they could both relax and really fall in love with the traditions and complexities of their hometown – and each other.

While the shenanigans Suzette and Spence get into – miscommunications, hysterical accidents – were all great, I couldn’t help but feel they lacked a little originality. This is a wonderful, comfortable read, but there was nothing I found unique about it, nothing that really jumped out and sticks out in my mind as amazing. For a Christmas-time read, with a nice hot drink beside a warm fire, it’s perfect. I also greatly appreciated that the language is tasteful (something I’d be willing to share with my grandmother). While there is a single sex scene, I found it carefully written and not overly descriptive – though readers should be warned the bedroom door is not closed.

A warm-hearted, funny and very Christmassy read I’d heartily recommend.

The Big House’s “Coloreds Only” policy makes the club popular with Harlem residents. The same policy makes it harder for the owners to find and retain musicians. After four weeks of listening to saxophonists with bigger dreams than talent, the owners are ready to hire the first person who walks in and plays “one good note.” Their words come back to haunt them when Randy Jones auditions.

Many of the employees are not thrilled when Randy breaks the color barrier. He does find an ally in Cass, the club’s sassy singer, who goes out of her way to welcome him. Offstage, Cass Porter looks like a teenager, but when she sings she’s all woman. Inside, she’s been hurt badly and has determined never to love again.

As their relationship develops, life at the club for Randy becomes complicated when he has to fight both Cass’s fear of opening her heart and those who want to keep them apart.

When Randy Jones stepped into The Big House, a jazz club in Harlem, to audition for an opening for a saxophone player he is not only breaking color barriers he catches the eye of sassy songstress Cass Porter. Will their hot performances trickle off stage and start to form a more serious relationship that they may not be ready to handle?

Sweet Jazz is a slow romance that took time to evolve the relationship between Cass and Randy. The plot is a refreshing read and also well written. It was nice to read about a couple actually taking their time to go out dancing, talking and discussing issues from their past, mainly growing and building a connection. I thought the book to be stretched out quite a bit with 400 pages of the same equable tone. It just didn’t have any real action for me to have kept the story going on and on. I am trying not to sound contradicting, yes I enjoyed the story but some parts could have been eliminated or shorten.

I like how Cass and Randy took up for each other. I get the feeling Cass could relate to Randy, being they both have been discriminated against; that could be a reason they were drawn to each other. Cass found Randy as someone she could trust to talk to and open up about her past. Randy as well was able to talk with ease to Cass about how he came about playing the saxophone. Each had a story to tell and in some sort of way grew from their past. Well Cass’s growth needed some work and hopefully with patience Randy will be the man to show her what real love can feel like.

The author tells the story in such detail, and depth a reader can’t help but picture the characters in motion, the unlikeable characters as well as the likable. The story is one of hope, determination and passion for the love of song, music and finding love when it’s least expected. I am sure Randy could have given up, packed up his sax and moved on, but he found something worth staying for and very well something worth standing up for…that speaks volumes.

Sweet Jazz is just as the title states. It is a sweet romantic story that like jazz, has propulsive rhythms played out in harmonic freedom. If you enjoy the laid back sounds of smooth jazz, this is a melodic story that you would want to add to your reading list.

Something bad has happened (again) in Dusky Beach. And Rita Deltone, a tough talking waitress from Lemon Run, Florida, is smack in the middle of it. She knows all too well the dirt road she took to get down so low, but she takes the long way ’round in the telling.

Liam Donell is the new detective in town. His partner is on vacation so he has to handle all the dirty work. But this Rita chick is pretty cute. He’s not making the best decisions regarding the case. Soon enough, it turns ugly.

An unlikely couple, Rita and Liam try to make the best of a bad situation. With hot, hilarious, and surprising results.

Tequila Dirty opens up with Rita Deltone being questioned by Detective Liam Donell concerning the murder of two men. Rita is in the hospital with a gash on her head that required several stitches. Will Rita be able to help the detective solve this case?

The plot is interesting along with the author’s writing style a reader can’t help but be drawn in. Rita seems like a character that trouble seems to find and the kind of person that has an interesting life. I like the set-up of how the story is told from Rita and then later from Detective Donell. Rita’s story is one almost of humor in the way that she tells it, it almost makes you forget about the seriousness of the two murders. I felt sorry for Detective Donell, because seeing Rita at her worst he was taken by her, which leads him to not follow job protocol that could have very well opened up a can of worms that he isn’t quite able to deal with.

I’m thinking the sentencing style is along the lines of how Rita and Detective Donell would actually talk, but after so many choppy sentences it came to be a nuisance. To read. Like the editor missed checking a few sentences. That could have read smoother if they were in the proper format.

Tequila Dirty is a quick read that has a nice unpredictable twist at the end that I didn’t see coming. Though the story was short the author did a good job in building the characters and having a developed and complete plot.
