Book Description

When Harper Preston finds himself flat in a hospital bed after a botched op, he’s okay with dealing with the fallout. If he dies, he’s lived well past his expiration date. The only people that will notice his passing are the guys he works with at Lost and Found Investigative Service.

Then his estranged wife arrives.

Cat Preston is thankful and horrified when she’s called to her husband’s side. He’s been shot. Again. But now that she’s found him she’s going to make the most of the opportunity. If it were up to Harper, she would be out of his life completely because he thinks it's the best thing for the family.

With a little SEAL abduction (for his own good of course) maybe she can convince him otherwise...

Book Review

This book deals with yet another veteran disability. PTSD is finally being addressed in this series. I really admire the author's ability to create such engrossing stories based on war veterans while highlighting the challenges that they face when they return to society.

We first met Harper as the back up John called in to protect Shannon. Now we find out why he refuses to be anywhere near his wife and kids, even though they miss him and want him to be with them.

Book Description


NYU freshman Nate Anderson is a triplet who is desperate to escape his wild and crazy brothers. After they screw things up for him one too many times, Nate flees his housing situation and takes the first available room for rent as far from his brothers as he can get. 

Enter his new roommate Jordan--a quirky LA girl who believes that everything in life has already been done in the movies. In this heartfelt tale of love, friendship and family, Nate learns how to deal with his new adult life using Hollywood films as a guide.

Book Review


If you enjoyed Cinder and Ella by Kelly Oram, you are going to love this one too. Nate is dying to get some privacy from his brothers. It isn't easy being the odd one out in the Anderson triplets, but he's just about lost it when his brothers ruin the music project he's been working so hard on.

He wants to be alone. Away from his brothers and even his girlfriend. A chance encounter with Pearl at a coffee shop gets him a possible new place to stay. Jordan is a movie major and appreciates his musical inclination.

Suddenly Nate finds out exactly what has been missing in his life so far. Only now he needs to chance the direction of his life to align better with Jordan. It's a really sweet story and the characters are quirky but well defined. You find your emotions rising and falling with the character's fate. A good read.

Book Description
Joslyn needs a fresh start.
Adam needs a getaway.
This year at Thanksgiving, a feisty old woman may bring them both a miracle.

After the loss of her husband in the war three years ago, Joslyn Alexander is unable to relinquish the ghosts that keep her from truly living again. Instead, she’s immersed herself in the care of her aging great-aunt. But as Aunt Marion’s Alzheimer’s progresses, Joslyn and her brothers must face the reality that she alone can no longer care for her. As the siblings seek a long-term care facility, Joslyn realizes that life goes on, even in the face of tragedy and loss.

Adam Turner is worn out. After taking over as director of the failing memory care facility a year ago, he’s turned the place into a thriving community for its residents. Now, all he wants is a few days off. But as he watches his Thanksgiving plans disappear in an unexpected winter storm, he’s left wondering how much more he can handle—until an unlikely invitation from a heartbroken woman brings him the respite he needs.

This year, all the characters from A Miracle Short Story series come together for Thanksgiving in an unusual place. As Aunt Marion regales their Thanksgiving guests with stories of love and loss, Joslyn and Adam realize there’s more to give thanks for this year than they ever imagined. Through grief and tragedy, there is hope.

Book Review

I've not read the stories before this book in the series, but it reads fine as a standalone as well. Joslyn is full of guilt and grief for having to place her aunt in a care home. Adam is in charge of said home and meets with the patient's family before Aunt Marion is shifted.
Adam admires Joslyn for how she has lovingly handled her aunt's Alzheimer. He personally knows how difficult it is for the caregiver to let go. There is an attraction there that he wants to pursue, but will Joslyn be prepared for that big a step? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Book Description

Book Review

Julie is having a tough time moving on with life after her husband dies in the accident with movie star Lucas. She's moved to a new town to try and pick up the pieces with her two boys. Then she discovers the remains of a young woman's body.

The investigating officer is Connor. He's after a serial killer and realizes that Julie is a prime target now. She's just like all the other women who have been abducted. He needs to keep her safe, and catch the killer, hopefully without falling in love with her.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. It was different from the first book and I am still hoping to find out what happened to Scott's sister, but hey there was a lot of action in the book. Guess we'll see what the angels are up to in the next book in the series.

Book Description

**Protecting Caroline is a stand-alone love story. It’s Book 1 in the SEAL of Protection Series.**

Matthew “Wolf” Steel hated flying commercial. Luckily his job as a Navy SEAL meant he didn’t have to do it very often. He’d been unlucky enough to be assigned a middle seat on the cramped jet, but fortunately for him, the woman next to him was willing to switch seats with him. Hoping for a relaxing flight, Wolf was pleasantly surprised at the good conversation and sense of humor the woman had as they flew 36,000 feet over the countryside. 

When Caroline boarded the plane to Virginia to move across the country for her new job she never expected to be seated next to the hottest guy she’d ever seen. She also never expected he’d be so easy to talk to. She knew he’d never be interested in talking to her if he hadn’t been trapped in the seat next to her, but it was a nice way to spend a long plane ride. 

Neither Wolf nor Caroline were prepared for a terrorist hijacking of their plane, but if Caroline thought that would be the last time she’d see, or need, Wolf, she’d be sorely mistaken.

Book Review


Wolf is happy with his SEAL team and their missions, but looking for a love like his parents have. Caroline is content being the quiet and unobserved person in the room. No one notices her and she's okay with that. Then the two of them end up together on a flight seated next to each other. 

What they were not expecting is the terrorists out to hijack the plane. What Wolf was not expecting was her strength and bravery. What Caroline was not expecting was SEALs never leave a teammate behind. The plot is good, the characters ring true and the story comes together really well. And the best part is it's a sweet romance.

Book Description

In the harrowing prequel to The Lost and Found series, three embattled Marines must deal with their devastating physical and emotional injuries in a world that seems to have turned against them. 
When the rescue helicopter crashes into his convoy in Iraq, Marine First Sergeant Duncan Wilde struggles with the loss of men, his career and the use of his body. Things can't get much worse. Until his fiancée decides she has to move on with her life, and that of her unborn child by another man.
Sergeant Chad Lowell knew when he went to war that it would come with a price. And it did.

 A young Marine under his command is killed by a landmine. Chad's left with one less leg and a mountain of recriminations. That doesn't mean he wants to be a pitied by every female he comes in contact with.
Gunnery Sergeant John Palmer is furious at the hand he's been dealt. He's served his country faithfully, if not without antagonism, for many years. Now they're turning him out like a relative who has overstayed his welcome. And, since he's not even a real man anymore, maybe it is time to move on permanently. 
Can these wounded warriors use a friendship borne out of adversity to form a partnership rescuing others? And can they find real love in spite of their challenges?

Book Review

Okay, so I'm enjoying the series enough to want to read the free prequel that the author wrote. Must say it was fun going through the flashback to find out exactly how Duncan, Chad and John came together to form Lost and Found. If you are enjoying the other books, you will not want to miss this book.

Book Description

Zeke Foster has little to no experience with women over the past couple of years, after being injured in Afghanistan. Brutally scarred, he has no expectation that he’ll ever find a woman capable of accepting him the way he is. But he can’t help but be enamored of Ember, the waitress of a local watering hole.
Ember Norton’s life has turned into one devastating catastrophe after another. When the scarred soldier with the kind eyes brings some security to her life, she’s afraid to trust her luck. She’s been self-sufficient for a long time. But his wounded soul calls to her and she finds herself falling for him. 
In spite of the secrets he continues to keep.

Book Review

At one point of time Zeke was living the American dream, high school football star, popular boy and then a promising career as a soldier. It all came to a crashing halt when a wall fell on him during an explosion on a mission.

Now dealing with partial brain damage, Zeke is lucky if the words cooperate with him when he wants to say something. Rather than stay with his family who have no idea how to deal with him, he chooses to stay with his military family at Lost and Found.

He's making slow progress and knows life will never be the same. The last thing he expects when coming to terms with the changes in his abilities is Ember. She's the waitress at the bar they go to, and she's always very kind to them, and him. When she is in trouble, Zeke knows he will do anything to help her.

Book Description

John Palmer hasn’t felt like a real man since he was injured during combat in Iraq. Though not content with his new life, he is mostly adapting, just like the other vets at the Lost ‘N’ Found Investigative Service. When Shannon Murphy is hired on as the new office manager, life suddenly gets a lot more interesting. Before long, John finds himself wondering if he could ever be the kind of man Shannon needs.

Shannon Murphy wasn’t really looking for love when she hired on at LNF, but finds herself hopelessly attracted to the sex-on-wheels former Marine, John Palmer. The man is grumpy and nearly impossible to work with, but his brand of masculinity appeals to her on a basic level. Soon Shannon is wondering just what it would take for John to want her the way she wants him.

When an old enemy tries to settle a vendetta against Shannon, John insists on protecting her. He moves into her house, fanning the spark of attraction into a blaze. But the danger continues to escalate. Will the connection that they’ve found survive when they’re thrust into a fight for their lives?

Book Review

It's the start of a fantastic series where the author deals with veterans who have returned with disabilities. John's a grumpy man and doesn't see his life getting any better. Then Duncan pulls Chad and him to found the Lost and Found agency. They hire more veterans and gain a good reputation. Then Shannon comes to work for the firm and John doesn't know what hit him. He wants her, but how could she ever want him? A beautiful tale told with compassion and in depth understanding. Loved the book.

Book Description


A chance encounter changes everything. Navy SEAL, Kyle Lansdowne is on a mission and he doesn’t have time for distractions. A hot affair could prove to be dangerous in more ways than one, but he can’t resist. Christy Nelson had his attention from the moment she opened her feisty mouth. 

She shouldn’t…but she can’t help herself. Christy’s run-in with Kyle leaves her body aching and confused. He’s volatile, but something about him has her insides twisting with want. She should stay far away, but that isn’t an option. 

Kyle’s mission submerges Christy into a twisted web of crime and endangers her life. Will his training be enough to save her? 

Book Review

It's a typical Alpha Male and Weak Female story, where Kyle and Christy meet in a rather unusual fashion. I really didn't think it was that credible, but hey if I enjoy Bollywood stories I can read this one too. Basically it's the old plot where he has to protect her and find the bad guys and of course find time to smooch in between. Okay if you are in the mood for steamy stuff with no great story.

Book Review

Dealing with her ex husband's death would have been bad enough but to realize that he was an addict who was peddling drugs was worse. Isabel had to protect Suzie, her young daughter from the whole big bad world. That included not exposing her to strange men considering that Suzie is actively looking for a father figure.

Linc needs to solve the drug case that caused Isabel so much heartbreak, and to do so he has to grill her well. He wishes that they could have met under different circumstances as he is really attracted to this strong and admirable woman.

When he sees her being attacked at the end of a blind date he can't hold himself back. He protects her then and vows that he will always be there for her. Now can she take the risk to open her heart to him?
