Betrothal or Breakaway

A sweet story. I really enjoyed Remy as a character and being able to see him get his happily ever after is so adorable. I am always an absolute sucker for a guy who is tender with babies so there are several heart melting moments. I did feel this book read more like a lighthearted contemporary rather then a rom com in my opinion. It was a book I started and couldn't wait to see how everything worked out. A satisfying story in the series. . I recieved a complementary copy of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are honest and completely my.

Wow! This book has me so hooked on this world and the the complicated situations that the characters are in. It took be a little bit to get into. There are quite a few characters that I was wondering how they fit together. But it did come together in a way that was well woven and I just neeeeeed to know what happens next! One thing that I find really intriguing is the way the faith system is explained. I really appreciated the contrast best The battle between light and dark and how the truths shared can be paralleled with our world. I loved how even the characters who are on the "dark side" are complex and multilayered. They have motives and reasons for why they have made the choices they have. I don't often become so invested in morally grey characters. But boy. I am invested. Can't wait for book 2!

Dani Pettrey brings us a new series with twists, mystery and new characters. I enjoyed the fact that this series features a family as the hub of a private investigation service.  I don't see as many of those in the romantic suspense genre and I am definitely intrigued with what will come next in the series. The book starts out and quickly pulls you into the lives of these new characters and into the mystery surrounding an art heist. Stakes are raised quickly and the plot doesn't let up until the end. The romance part of the romantic suspense developed quickly.  I liked that the characters had discussions about their pasts and didn't deceive each other.   Fans of NCIS type shows will appreciate the rapid pace of the plot and the sense of comradery between the teammates.

The second installment of the Breed Apart Legacy brings action, intrigue and romance. This book opens with so much of the classic things you come to expect from a Ronie Kendig story.  The characters are sharp, layered and complex. The canine character (Chaos) is a focal part of the story and I really enjoyed seeing this threesome overcome the difficulties ahead of  them. The hero really stood out to me. I always enjoy the “warrior type” hero and Cathal was that multi-layered hero with a past that pulled me into the story. Rio is the heroine in this story and she was unique and layered in her own way. I loved the banter between her and Cathal. This story had a mystery and a situation where they were working against the clock and the elements to mount a rescue. A fascinating setting in the Philippines that makes this a great read to have the fast pace of romantic suspense in an exotic location. If you are looking for a fast paced read with action, romance and immersive locations give A B
