Texas Kidnapping Target by Laura Scott

Someone broke into Mari's house and tried to kidnap her son.  Enter Texas Ranger Sam.  He was there shortly after the break in to tell Mari that her ex-husband had escaped from jail. That is just the first chapter.  The book just kept getting better.  Sam will do everything in his power to keep Mari and her son safe.  There are several attempts on her life.  I recommend this book to all mystery lovers.

Cornered

This book is by three of my favorite authors.  The books are full of mystery with romance thrown in. It would be hard to pick a favorite out of the three so read them all.  I recommend this book.  I received this book from Revell Publishing via Net/Galley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.

I Think I Was Murdered

This was a strange book.  I had trouble getting interested in this story.  Katrina has lost her husband and having trouble coping with her grief.  On top of that her company is about ready to go under and is being investigated by the FBI.  Katrina is talking to a chat box that was created by her company that is a compilation of text messages from her late husband.  She talks to it as she would her deceased husband.  Weird. As I said, it was a strange book.
