In the spirits of light-hearted contemporary romances with a sense of humor, you'll enjoy Tempted Again. Marissa Bennett was broke, unemployed and divorced, when she returned home to Hopeful, Ohio. As for starting over, she'd gotten a bumpy start. We come across her family--her mother experiencing menopause, her father's obsession with Egypt, and her baby sister Jess, who was a bit of a drama queen. To make matters worse, she ran into Connor Doyle, her former flame who burned her, a decade ago. We saw things from Connor's and Marissa's POV, when they rubbed each other the wrong way, and fell in love when sparks fly, while they kept their secrets in the past. There's some humorous bits here that'll make you smile and laugh, like with her demon car. They took a chance on each other and rolled the dice to doubled their odds.  This one you'll root for them and fall in love with,  too.

I loved Marissa's family--they each had a bit of personality to add to Marissa's story to give it some real feelings to care about them. I enjoyed Connor's involvement with the teenage kids and helping them to stay off the streets. I despised at Marissa's demon car, though I laughed at it a couple of times. God help her! This romance will make you feel good and warm inside.

Revenge of Innocents

In the 4th installment of the Carolyn Sullivan series, Revenge of Innocents, Nancy Taylor Rosenberg delivered us a shocker and took us a dark side. While planning her wedding to Marcus, Carolyn learned about her best friend's death. From there, she became entangled into a web of lies and deceit and other family secrets. When she became the legal guardian of her oldest daughter Jude, she didn't know what to believe between fact and fiction. We watched how emotionally involved she was to the case that pushed her to the limit. She took her career seriously, while others helped her pick up the pieces to this startling dark legal thriller. We see how she unraveled, while trying to keeping it together. This one delivered us a sucker-punch. I wished Nancy Taylor Rosenberg's wrote new books.

This legal thriller dealt with hard core topics of abuse, eating disorders, and murder. This was like a bitter pill to swallow and so much more. I did hold my breath and let it out a couple of times, since it dealt with nitty-gritty subject matters. I felt bad for Carolyn, when all this stuff have happened. I didn't like Jude so much or her father Brad.  I adored Marcus, Carolyn's son John and her daughter. I was so happy that they finally got to make things final between them as a family. I could see how devoted Carolyn was to her career as a probation officer.

Shear Murder

Marla Shore had a lot in her hands in the latest installment in the Bad Hair Day series in Shear Murder. While she planned her wedding to Dalton, opened a day spa, and kept  her salon busy with customers, she had gotten a full schedule ahead of her. When she attended her friend's wedding, she discovered a new murder and was on the case. With not much time on her hands, we'll see how she was devoted to Dalton and Brianna and trying not to stay out of trouble. She was really up to her ears on this drama, when she discovered family secrets and other surprises in the background. The closer she was to the truth, the more threatening danger looms to her and her business. In the end, it was s a close call between life and death for her. Lots of surprises in store this one for sure.

This was another great mystery with a whole lot going on. I loved the flower arrangements in the storyline, including the birds of paradise. It was so nice and romantic for Dalton and Marla's interfaith marriage to take place, while another one happened before that.  I loved her friends and colleagues in this cozy mystery series who help Marla out. I believe Marla had met her match with Dalton.

Edge of Black

In the second installment of the Dr. Sam Owens series, JT.Ellison packed a punch with this enthralling novel in Edge of Black. After losing her family in the flood in Nashville, Sam moved to Washington D.C. to start her new life over. She had a new man in her life and was taken to a new and dangerous adventure. When there was an attack at the Metro train station, it rocked her world. We followed Sam on her darkest case ever, when there was a shade of black. We saw how connected she was to Xander, and what he went through to help her out and to define their blossoming relationship. She learned about a deadly poison that's homegrown to kill in their backyard. From D.C. to Colorado, there were many twists and turns to this thriller with a pummeling backstory as well that will blow you away. They were on the hunt for a bomber. There were so many surprises you didn't see coming.

We could really feel the depth of Sam's loss, when she lost her family in the flood. That heart-breaking sorrow was real on the pages. I felt sad for her, when she had to move and start over in a new town. Xavier was an interesting character with a peculiar family with hippy names.  We do get to see how much he cared about her, his family, and for his heathen environment. There was a strong outreach and outpouring of compassion from his family to her to make her feel one of them own. I cried and was at the edge of my seat in this thriller as well. This would leave you ... breathless.

Secret Identity

In Paula Graves's Secret Identity, welcome to the dark world of danger and intrigue. Amanda Caldwell was a former agent who'd been keeping secrets and living on the run. When someone tracked her down, she was on the run for her life. We saw her toss and turn with mixed emotions, when she met her former flame, Rick Cooper. Amanda's world's turned upside-down, when someone was gunning out for her. And she didn't know why. Three years ago, she couldn't escape her past. And neither could Rick. We have discovered how Rick was concerned for her and wanted to keep her safe. When they came together, the sparks continued to fly. Together, they took on their adversaries in a blaze of glory, when her secrets were exposed wide open. No one wanted the truth to come out in the end. What a burning rush!

This was a fantastic romantic suspense. I loved the non-stop action that took place in Tennessee. Amanda had a complex and interesting fast. Rick was pretty smooth and suave and sexy as well. The pairing between them was unstoppable and intense as well heated. I loved the backstory of Amanda's past  and how it unfolded when Rick protected her. Gripping page turning suspense and great action.

The Silver Needle Murder

If culinary cozies are your average cup of tea, this series is for you. Laura Childs introduced us to Theodosia Browning and her interesting array of characters in her tea shop series in Death by Darjeeling. In the ninth installment of the Tea Shop Mystery series, the Silver Needle Murder, when one of the judges was found dead at the local awards show, she was asked to fill in his shoes. For Theo, that was a tall order for her to fill. Along the way, while she ran her tea shop demands, things were daunting, when new revelations came out about the victim. The more deeper we watched her dig her heels in, the more threatening it had gotten for her. And a producer had his eyes on her, when we observed her romance blossom with Parker. And when her close friend ended up murdered, we would be amazed who's behind the act, when the world of  documentary film-making was more than a cutthroat business. This is a delightful cozy with tea recipes and tips.

This is another spectacular culinary tea cozy.  This shone a spotlight on the Hollywood side of things in a small town. There was an interesting love triangle here between Theo, Parker and Johnny. But jealousy could be a dangerous thing. Things do get personal for Theo. I began to care for her and concerned for her as well. I didn't care for Johnny, who only used Theo for his own vicious gains. I could see an intriguing love match between Parker and Theo.

Darkness UnMasked

If you loved the Riley Jensen Guardian series, take a walk on the wild side. Welcome to Risa's dark and dangerous world in Darkness Unmasked, the 5th book in the Dark Angels series. She was half-werewolf, half-Aedh, an energy being like an angel. From her point of view, we witnessed every twist and turn in her life, when she embarked on a lethal mission to find a serial killer like no other, and how she'd gotten entangled into a spiderweb of her own. With one of her friends hurt and the other had gone missing, she had a complicated family life and a questionable relationship with Azriel, a reaper, who might be her better half. Besides a quest for the keys, we watched her wield her demon sword Amaya to protect her and fought a dangerous fight to get answers she was well-deserved.

This paranormal romance was way out of this world.  Like Riley Jensen, she was part-werewolf. Unlike her, she was part Aedh, an interesting characteristic to make her more holy and spiritual to fight evil dead on. I liked learning about her world in Australia, another wonderful location for this series. I didn't like it, when evil threatened her at every turn. But I loved her sword Amaya to catch a spidery serial killer. This made me gasp and sigh. Great drama, wonderful action in every scene, and a etherworldly romance to spark a romance.
