Into the Dark


Into the Dark
Karen Rose
Cincinnati series Book 5
November 26, 2019

When Michael Rowland saves his younger brother Joshua from the clutches of his stepfather, he runs for his life with his brother in his arms. From his hiding place he sees the man who has made their lives a misery taken away in the trunk of a stranger's car, never to be seen again.

Doctor Dani Novak has been keeping soccer coach Diesel Kennedy at arm's length to protect him from her dark secrets. When they are brought together by the two young brothers who desperately need their help, it seems they might finally be able to leave their damaged pasts behind them.

But as the only witness to the man who kidnapped and murdered his stepfather, Michael is in danger. As Diesel and Dani do all that they can to protect him, their own investigation into the murder uncovers a much darker web of secrets than they could have imagined.

As more bodies start to appear it's clear that this killer wants vengeance. And will wipe out anything that gets in his way.




Karen Rose is one of my favorite Romantic Suspense authors and I know with every book of hers that I start that I will love it. Into the Dark was no different and right from the beginning this story had me captivated. Dani and Diesel had a relationship and connection that actually surprised me with how personal they got. It was a bit of a change from the usual heavy focus on the suspense that Ms. Rose does but I liked that we got to see so much of these characters all while still getting that mystery aspect.

There was a lot going on in this book and it all came together really well. Dani and Diesel had so much to work out, we had a mystery trying to be unraveled, the killer's thoughts thrown in giving clues that will keep you guessing. And it all worked so well together and added to the intrigue that had me loving this book.

This was actually my first book in the Cincinnati series but I could follow along with all of the side characters without issue and now I can't wait to go back and read their own stories. I do think it would be better to read the series in order so that you get a better understanding of the characters, but it's not necessary.


Internationally bestselling, RITA-award winning, author Karen Rose was born and raised in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. She met her husband, Martin, on a blind date when they were seventeen and after they both graduated from the University of Maryland, (Karen with a degree in Chemical Engineering) they moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Karen worked as an engineer for a large consumer goods company, earning two patents, but as Karen says, “scenes were roiling in my head and I couldn't concentrate on my job so I started writing them down. I started out writing for fun, and soon found I was hooked.”

Her debut suspense novel, DON'T TELL, was released in July, 2003. Since then, she has published fifteen more novels and two novellas. Her seventeenth novel, ALONE IN THE DARK, will be released in 2016.

Her novels, I'M WATCHING YOU and SILENT SCREAM, received the Romance Writers of America's RITA award for Best Romantic Suspense for 2005 and 2011. Five of her other books have been RITA finalists. To date, her books have been translated into twenty-four languages.

Welcome to their kingdom

Cole Covington is the most popular heartbreaker at school. Every guy wants to be him and every girl wants to screw him. Except me. His devastatingly good looks, golden arm, and flirty smiles don't do it for me anymore...because I know what's lurking underneath the star quarterback's gorgeous armor.

At least I thought I did.

Sometimes the most beautiful people...hide the ugliest truths.

And sometimes the only way to save someone... is to walk beside them through hell.

Sawyer Church is the bible-thumping nerd of Royal Hearts Academy. Girls pick on her and guys don't notice her. Except me. Sweet, curvy, and sarcastic, she's impossible to ignore. No matter how much I try. Everyone at school has her pegged as the chubby, Jesus loving geek, but unlike them—Sawyer's real and never pretends to be someone she's not.

Until I ask her to be my fake girlfriend.

Sometimes the most beautiful souls...hide the greatest pain.

And sometimes the only way to save someone... is to fight for them.

A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land.
An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny.
We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together.
Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here.
In New York.
And he’s America’s music obsession.
The intangible Irish poet who brings record executives to their knees.
The blizzard in my perfect, unshaken snow globe.
Last time we spoke, he was a beggar with no intention of becoming a king.
But a king he became, and now I’m his servant.
I’m not the same broken princess Malachy Doherty put back together with his callused hands.
I have a career I love.
A boyfriend I adore.
An apartment, a roommate, a life.
I changed. He changed, too.
But Mal kept the napkin.
Question is, will I keep my word?

Wow this book was brilliant! I don't really know why I'm so surprised. LJ Shen just keeps getting better and better. I really enjoyed this book from start to finish. The story was emotional, heart breaking, funny and sexy in parts God that part was just wow. You have to read it and when you do you will know what I'm talking about. The characters were so good I luvd the them straight away. The way this book was written was amazing I think it what made this book so good for me. It's so different to any book I've read the pov's were just brilliant. I luv getting into characters heads and this was just perfect for me.

Mal was just a great character I luvd his confidence, swagger and Irish charm. When the guy knew what he wanted he was getting end of story. No woman stands a chance with him. Once he seen Aurora/Rory that was it he knew she was the one and he would do anything to have her even if he couldn't have her straight away. Just thank God for a napkin contract.

Aurora/Rory where do I start with her. She is great I liked her straight away. She hasn't had it easy but she still tries to look at things in a good way. When she goes to Ireland it's meant to be a quick trip she wasn't meant to find a hot sexy Irish rockstar. But Rory didn't stand a chance with him. There connection was instant and so hard to fight. But there story is no way pretty they go through so much.

This story really was great I luvd that Mal's character had the Irish slang and humor. The author did this so good with not being Irish it couldn't of been easy. Living in Ireland and hearing it everyday I have to say she did good. I'm true LJ Shen style the angst was there and heart breaking. Mal and Rory's story is beautiful and sad. I felt for them in parts they just needed to talk and listen there both so fiery characters and think they know everything. But with the secrets and lies there wasn't a chance they did. The twists had me gripped to the book I was dying to know what was going to happen next it had me scared and excited. I would highly recommend this book. If you have read anything from this author you have to read this. It's one of my favourite books from her.


L.J. Shen is USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author of contemporary romance books. She lives in California with her husband, son and lazy cat.
When she's not writing, she enjoys reading a good book with a glass of wine and catching up on her favorite HBO and Netflix shows.

Yeah, she's a badass like that.

Hat Trick



Release Date: November 7, 2019
Genre: M/M Sports Romance
Cover Design: Kellie Dennis / Book Cover by Design
Model: Preston T.
Photographer: Wander Aguiar

Soren:
You know what’s not fun? Going on a Fiji vacation with four other couples.

Especially when recently single.


What’s even worse is when a past hook-up arrives unannounced.

Not only do we have a history, but he’s ten years younger and a famous rock star. Most importantly, he’s my friend’s little brother.

Being trapped on an island with Jet Jackson is going to be sweet torture because all I want is another chance.

I just don’t think he’s going to give it to me.

Jet:
You know what’s not fun? Escaping one guy who broke my heart only to run into another.

Being on the road for three years has left me exhausted. The last thing I want is for Caleb ‘Soren’ Sorensen to try for round two.

I can’t fight my draw to him. I’ve never been able to.

I’m suddenly back to being the naรฏve kid who stupidly lusted after a hockey player.

All I can think is if I let Soren get close, I’ll walk away from this vacation with a double broken heart.

The Fall of Legend





From New York Times bestselling author Meghan March comes a new deliciously dangerous alpha hero in The Fall of Legend, the first book in the brand new and utterly addictive Legend trilogy.


We come from two different worlds.
I’m from the streets. She might as well live in an ivory tower.
I made my living with my fists. I doubt she could even throw a punch.
Our paths never should have crossed.
We never should have met.
That doesn’t change the facts.
I would sell my soul to taste those red lips.
Fight the devil himself to hear her laugh.
Burn in hell to have a single night.
Scarlett Priest shouldn’t even know men like me exist, but sometimes temptation is stronger than will.
If this is how I go down, it’ll be worth every second of the fall.

Meghan March is one of the only authors I'll actually read a trilogy from since they're not really my favorite things. I tend to get bored after so long with just one story being followed in multiple books. But the way she writes her characters always has me intrigued and dying for more with every book. This book had that same intrigue that I like from her and I'm really curious to see what will happen with these characters, but there was just something missing with the story to truly keep me captivated.

It seemed slower paced than I'm used to this authors books being, especially for the first book in a trilogy. There was so much of the story where Legend and Scarlet were separated and doing there own thing so it ended up lacking a bit on the romance. And the entire middle part of the book pretty much had nothing that was bringing them together either.

Overall, not my favorite start to a Meghan March trilogy, but it did get me very interested in the characters and I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen in the next installment.

Tacker

 

Tacker (Arizona Vengeance, Book #5)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: November 5, 2019



I am not okay. 

Fifteen months ago, my life was turned upside down when the plane I was piloting went down. Injured and trapped in the wreckage, I had to watch my fiancรฉe die a painfully slow death, which is something that can really mess with your head. 

Since that day, I’ve had little desire to do much of anything. Except play hockey, that is. Because that is the one place where the bad memories are banished and I can escape my pain. 

But off the ice, I’m spiraling out of control. Losing the grip on my life and putting myself and my career in danger. Now, thanks to a string of bad decisions, I’ve been ordered to complete therapy in order to stay on the team. 

The problem? Nora Wayne, my beautiful and somewhat unconventional therapist. I can’t buy into the brand of happy clappy crap this woman is feeding me. What could she possibly understand about the type of loss that I’ve suffered? How does she know anything about finding happiness after losing the most important person in your life? 

Turns out, I’ve got a lot to learn, and she’s just the person I need to break through those walls I’ve erected. 

I am not okay. 
But for the first time in a long time, I know that I will be.

Tacker brought all the feels to this series and I absolutely adored it. Tacker Hall is having a hard time dealing with the pain of losing his fiance in a plane crash. A plane that he was piloting and was then stuck in while his fiance died next to him. When his grief gets too out of control he's sent to therapy in the hopes that he'll learn how to cope and be able to love hockey again. And with the help of his therapist, Nora Wayne, he may even learn to love more than the game.

Tacker's pain was so heartbreaking to see in the previous books and it also made him a bit of a mystery since it was hard to tell what was under all of that grief. So I was really excited to get my hands on this story and finally meet the Tacker that wasn't overcome by his sadness and determined to push people away. Well let me just say, it was well worth the wait and I loved him.

He and Nora's relationship was slow moving and didn't actually develop into something more until later in the book than I usually like. But it worked for them and made sense to their story so I enjoyed that we got to see Nora helping and befriending Tacker before there was more of a romance. They also had almost no angsty moments and I appreciated that there wasn't any drama coming between them and hurting all the progress that Tacker had made in moving on. That's not to say that they didn't have a very enjoyable romance though. I loved them together and Nora was an amazing and likable heroine.

Overall, this is a must read and I definitely recommend it. Tacker has been in the previous books but you can read this one as a standalone with no problem.
