Review of Patyon's Pursuit by Joanne Jaytanie - 5 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Payton is one of three triplets. She manages Winters Corporation research campus. Her parents were killed in a car accident five years ago. Payton blacked out for thirty minutes in her sister Victory's home lab. She didn't tell anyone that there had been a couple of earlier episodes. Collin had another uncontrollable fit of rage, yet felt calm and serenity wrapped around him when Payton was there. Collin had been injected with wolf DNA. This was an excellent book. I loved the way Payton and Collin evolved. This was different from anything I have read, but thoroughly enjoyable. Great characters and plot. Overall great book. I highly recommend it.

Review of Practice Makes Perfect by Charlene Groome - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** It was Meghan's first day as a public relations coordinator and Keri was her boss. Jared, a hockey player, who thought Megan was a fan, offered to take a picture, then apologized when he found out who she was. Meghan stays on Jared's mind and he want's to get to know more about her. Meghan's best friend is Brie. When Brie brings up her being interested in someone, Jared comes to mind. Meghan works for the hockey team Jared is on. Meghan had been hurt before, so she didn't trust she had a chance with Jared and that he could be who she needed. Lauren assured her that Jared and her were together. She knew her heart but wasn't positive about Jared. Meghan was a good character. I enjoyed the ins and outs with her, as well as Jared and all of the characters. Jared grew and I enjoyed watching that. The story and plot were really good. I would recommend this for anyone that enjoys this genre.

Review of The Murderer's Duaghter by Jonathan Kellerman - 5 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Grace could read at a first grade level at 5yrs old. Grace became a psychologist that was not afraid to touch and hug her patients, despite her troubling childhood. Excellent story. I don't usually like going between the past and present, but was pleasantly surprised at how much this book held me. I had to finish it. A tribute to an awesome writing talent. Grace was a perfect character. I enjoyed everything about her. As far as I'm concerned this story had everything needed to make an excellent read. I highly recommend.

Review of The Billionaire's Temptation by Katherine Garbera - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Steffi Harlan worked for Mateo. Mateo's brother was Rocco. Rocco was a Formula 1 racing champion. Rocco and Steffi were to take over the family hotel business while Mateo was in Venice. Steffi had been attracted to Rocco for awhile. Now it seemed he was attracted to her. Steffi had been living by a strict code of rules, but that was before spending time with Rocco. I loved the way she changed and grew, discovering how she really felt. After Rocco had been the Formula 1 champion, he was at loose ends. When left with the co-running of his family's hotel, he too changed and grew. He found something he never realized he was looking for. The book contained good characters and plot. Overall it was a good story. I highly recommend to anyone that likes this genre.

Review of Die For Me: A Bragg Thriller by Jack Lynch - 4 Star

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Bragg had worked on a newspaper as a reporter, but now was a private eye in San Francisco. Maribeth had talked to Bragg years ago when he had been a reporter. By talking to him and on a suicide prevention line, she decided against suicide. Bragg was an interesting character. I liked how he kept going until he found the answers he needed. The plot was good as was the overall story. I recommend to anyone that likes this genre.

Review of Kiss of Fire by Catherine Vale - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Arianna travels to a castle in Scotland to finish her research on it for her thesis. While there, she meets Craig, the mysterious blacksmith that lives alone at the castle. During a night stuck at the castle, Arianna can’t help but be pulled into Craig’s tragic, but unbelievable, tale. The next morning she wakes up with a little regret until more interactions with Craig refuse to let her deny the overwhelming attraction between them. She also can’t help but believe that he was telling the the truth all along… Overall, this was a really good story. It moved pretty quickly. and had a good plot. My only complaint is with the quickness of the story, I didn’t really feel the characters’ emotional pull to each other at first. I did feel for each character though, especially what Craig had been through. I’d still highly recommend it.
