Review: Outliers: three novels of romantic suspense

Outliers: three novels of romantic suspense Outliers: three novels of romantic suspense by PJ Adams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Before I break down each book, let me start by saying that this author does an excellent job of writing about strong female characters. I get peeved when I read books where the female has a mousy character, but I never have to worry about it with her. All three of these stories are very different from each other and very good. I highly recommend any of them for anyone not looking for a typical romance.
Book 1-Winner Take All - 5 Stars
Cassandra “Cassie” Dane was tending bar in a tiny town in Maine on one of the last nights before the season was over. Nothing out of the ordinary until Denny McGowan comes in, soaked to the bone in a tuxedo and nothing else. After spending the evening talking to him, Cassie is irrevocably drawn to him. But with him comes danger and Cassie isn’t sure who to trust.
Well, this book definitely kept me guessing. The author did such a good job with the layers of plot, my trust factor bordered on what Cassie must’ve been going through, trying to figure it all out. I love it when a book isn’t very unpredictable and this one wasn’t. Definitely recommend.
Book 2-The Object of His Desire - 4 Stars
Trudy attended her brother’s wedding and while there, she ran into her ex as well as a mysterious, rude millionaire who happens to be her brother’s new brother-in-law. Trudy is as intrigued with the millionaire as he seems to be with her, but what are his dark secrets?
I really liked this story. Trudy is a strong, independent woman who is drawn towards Bill. The sex scenes were hot and the story kept you pulled in until the book was finished. I highly recommend.
Book 3-Black Widow - 5 Stars
Eleanor Drayton was just released from prison. She spent 20 months in there as an accessory to her late husband’s crimes, which she hadn’t found out about until shortly before he was murdered and she was charged. Now she only lives for revenge against “the man”, but what she finds is absolutely shocking.
Let me start by saying OMG!! While there was one thing in the story I was pretty sure about, the rest of it surprised me at every turn. I was very intrigued from start to finish, even when I was upset at the way Eleanor was acting at one point and I was sure I was going to hate how it was turning, but then another shocker. There were definitely parts to the story that were a little hard to read (plenty of pre-warnings from the author though), but I absolutely loved the entire story. It was my favorite of the three. I highly recommend, especially for those that want a break from the standard romance and like stories with a good twist.

Review of The Rest of My Life by Sheryl Browne - 5 Stars!!

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Adam slept with Lisa, who was a married woman. Nathanial was Adam's only friend. Nathanial was the marina's manager. Sienna is renting a cottage with her best friend Lauren. Sienna had to re-edit her romance script. Sienna wasn't sure if she believed that love conquered all anymore. Even though he was a womanizer, Sienna was attracted to Adam. He was also attracted to her, but knew he should stay away. Sienna was naive as far as passionate experiences went and her ex-boyfriend made her question whether or not she was frigid. She was a kind, warm and loving person trying to get a little breathing room from her dad. She loved her dad and even understood.  I really loved her character and her defending of those she cared for. Adam had been messed up from a previous relationship and saw his ex-fiance's ghost a lot. He had affairs to take away the pain and loneliness and drank for the same reason. Howeve

Review of Ignited by Laurie Wetzel - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maddy was dating an angel, MJ. MJ is a protector who has broken a lot of rules, but some he had to keep. MJ told Maddy she was his heart and he would fight before he would let anyone take her. Maddy had some special powers of her own. The characters were good, especially Maddy, who was overwhelmed with powers she couldn't control and the love she couldn't state and MJ. The plot was good as was the overall story. It dragged a little bit, but overall a good story. I recommend, although I didn't like the ending.

Review of The Wedding Reject Table by Angela Britnell

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maggie was at a wedding reception and at the reject table, met a handsome man named Chad Robertson. He was from Tennessee and he was an attorney. Maggie was a cake decorator and childhood friend of Fiona, the bride. Maggie and her sister Emily had formed Two Heart Catering two months before. Emily called Maggie away from Chad as the cake had been ruined. Maggie was the responsible and reliable half of the company. Emily was the creative cook. Chad was attracted to Maggie and recently he had decided he was bored. Emily is the drama queen, and even though she's younger, Maggie has been brought up to take care of her. Maggie is a very loyal and responsible person. She can be very caring and loving. She can also be stubborn at times. She was usually very sensible who learned to let go some and also found love. I liked her character. Chad was a charming Southern man. He was a good guy, kind and caring. He changed thro
