Come Gentle Night by Stephanie Black

This is the fifth book in the Natalie Marsh series.  It's the first one I have read.  It would have been beneficial for me to have read the first four books to know how all the characters were connected and the background of all of them.  That being said I did enjoy the book.  There was several twists and turns that kept me guessing throughout the book.  The who done it was a surprise.  There are several other surprises as well.  I recommend this book to all who enjoy a good mystery.  Don't be like me, read the first four first.

Honor's Refuge by Hallee Bridgeman

When she was just five years old, Melissa Braxton watched her father take her mother's life. Separated from her sister, Lola, at that time, Melissa grew up with a strong desire to help those stuck in abusive relationships. It's why she became a family therapist and opened a domestic abuse shelter.

After losing a leg to a gunshot wound in the line of duty, Phil Osbourne has felt like a man without a purpose--until he hears Melissa's story and decides to use his Special Forces contacts to track down her missing sister. He knows what he discovers will break Melissa's heart. What he doesn't realize is that helping the women reunite will bring the cartel down on them like the Category 5 hurricane striking Miami.

My review:  This is the third book in the Love and Honor series.  It's not necessary to read the first two to read and understand this book.  Phil's story is quite complicated. He is a former medic and Navy Seal with a background.  He lost a leg in a mission in the jungle.  He doesn't feel like he worth much without a leg.  Not a complete man.  No one would want him.  He is a dr. but working as an EMT.  Melissas runs a domestic abuse shelter and calls on Phil to help with her clients when they are afraid to go to the hospital.  This is a fast-paced story.  This is the second book I've read by Hallee Bridgeman. I recommend her to everyone.

Sundown by Susan May Warren

Former Delta Operative Colt Kingston knows when someone is lying. He may not know the truth, but he sure doesn't trust Tae, the woman who is caring for his ailing father at Sky King Ranch. Behind those beautiful blue eyes, he can tell there is a troubled--and smart--woman

A few of her stories prove true--he's found the crashed plane and the dead body inside. Still, her story of survival seems too incredible to believe . . . until the thugs she claims to be hunting her show up and threaten Sky King Ranch. Now Tae must disappear, along with her secrets.

But Colt's not about to let her go it alone. And when they discover that her secrets include the antidote to a plague that threatens the world, it'll take all three Kingston brothers to save the country they've vowed to protect.

This is the third book in the Sky King Ranch series.  I would suggest you read the first two books before reading this book.  All three brothers must come together in trying to protect the ranch and each other.  As well as, protecting national security.  This is a fast-paced book that I couldn't put down.  I highly recommend it.

Targeted

This book is by three of my favorite authors.  In On the Run by Lynette Eason a FBI Agent, Daria, is shot and on the run.   ER Dr. Ryker won't let her leave the hospital without him.  The chase is on.  Daria doesn't know who she can trust.  A fast-paced book real worth the read.

Deadly Objective by Lynn H Blackburn has a physical therapist, Emily Dixon and Secret Service Agent, Liam Harper working the Vice President's son.  At the beginning of the book someone is trying to kill the boy.  As they go into hiding, they are still found, and more attempts are made.  Another faced-paced book and worth the read.

Caught in the Crosshairs by Natalie Walters has a CIA operative and an Army PSYOPS officer trying to find out who killed a Saudi prince and why.  Now someone wants them dead also and will go to any lengths to see that it gets done.  This was also a fast-paced book that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Abduction Cold Case by Connie Queen

 Kennedy Wells finds a file of a twenty-six-year-old kidnapping on her desk.  She has no idea who put it there.  No one claims responsibility for it.  While she tracks down clears to the missing child, she runs into Texas Ranger Silas Boone.  It seems that people that were connected to the case have either been hurt or are dead.  Her life has also been threatened.  Her emotions are all over when it is suggested that she is the missing child.  She knows she was adopted but she doesn't want to believe her parents would have kidnapped her.

This is an intriguing story that I had trouble putting down.  If you like a good mystery, then this is the book for you.

The Bookshop of Secrets by Molly Rushmeyer

This book had a good story line.  The characters were good.  A woman who has been victimized in the worst way.  Holly.  A man whose dad has belittled him.  Ronan.  Holly is on the search for the books her mother had left for her when she died.  Holly was only a child at the time.  As she searches, she runs into all kinds of obstacles.  Holly has given herself only two months to find the books at the bookstore where she works.  Then its time for her to move on as she doesn't stay in any one place long. 

The book seemed to drag to me.  When things were happening, I was interested.  Then it would start to drag, and I would lose interest and find myself skimming.  There was too much soul searching that was going on over and over again.

A Model of Devotion by Mary Connealy

Jilly Stiles is a brilliant engineer and is building a railroad.  What's amazing about this is that this in the 1800's when it was unheard of for women to even think about such things.  Her sister Laura like to play with explosives and her sister Michelle invents things.  They are all three brilliant.   

Jilly's stepfather has made a bargain with very evil men for the hand in marriage for his 3 stepdaughters.  They ran away rather than marry against their wills.  The first two books in the series are about Laura and Michelle.  This book focuses on Jilly.  The man Jilly was supposed to marry is still after her.  He wants her and revenge and will go to any lengths to get her.  

This is a fast-paced book with lots action.  I highly recommend that the first two book in the series be read before this book.  They are both just as good as this book.  I had trouble putting this book down.
