Tiffanie (Daddies Of Ferguson's Folly 2) by Pepper North

  

Blurb:

Tiffanie Clarke’s world has looked bleak for a while. When illness forces her to close her design business and go to live with her brother, she jumps at the opportunity to use her talents at the newly opened event location at Ferguson’s Folly. Who expected a hot library director to give her a second look?

Phineas Greene learns a lot about people based on the books they choose. Taking a chance to confirm his suspicions, he recommends a Daddy book to the enchanting woman he spotted at Essie and Zander’s engagement party. When she accepts, he knows she’s the one he has hoped to find. Now he has to convince her to trust that he understands in sickness and in health isn’t a hollow vow.

Ferguson’s Folly has a way of arranging things with a little help from an eagle-eyed housekeeper, a pair of reunited ghostly lovers, and one very opinionated orange tomcat.
A steamy, feel-good romance about repurposing an estate, fairy lights, and an unexpected love when you need it most.

 

My review:

Have you read Essie (Daddies Of Ferguson's Folly 1) by Pepper North? If not I highly recommend going back and reading it before taking on Tiffanie’s tale.

Tiffanie is not your typical romance heroine. She’s battling a life-threatening disease. I love that our hero, Phineas, is a librarian. These two will make your heart smile.

Together in Darkness (A Metal Embers Novella) by Vanessa Rose

 

Blurb:

Some wounds never heal. For Abel Sharp, the demons never silence. The screams are a constant reminder of all the mistakes he has made. She's gone, and the reminders are everywhere. Even after a decade, the pain feels as fresh as that first night. Lost in thought, he finds himself outside of a club doing an open mic night, and he can't help but take a turn. However, his volatile mood sends him into a fury when an impatient patron says one too many snide remarks. Well, it isn't the first time he's gone to jail.

Teresa has never seen someone so beautiful and intense. The agony in his song makes her want to chase him and discover his secrets. As crazy as it may be, she follows him to the jail to bail him out. She has no way of knowing how broken he really is, and her heart doesn't seem to care. His story fascinates her, and she aches to ease some of the pain he carries.

Can he see past his darkness to find love again, and can she love a man chasing a ghost?

 

My review:

OMG! She’s done it again. This author plays with my heart and emotions as if I have nothing better to do than cry for her imaginary characters. In this installment we find out how Able and Teresa get together and find a different kind of love. Not the grand all encompassing love he had with Alanna but a softer quieter love. Another incredible entry in the Metal Embers saga.

My review:

Moonlight Mingle is an interesting take on the Headless Horseman story. This is a short steamy tale guaranteed to warm up your Halloween.

Fangs, Fur & Murder (Detective Eve Sinclair 1) by Elishevah Monrad

 

Blurb:

In a future where Paranormals co-exist with humans under a World Treaty, Detective Eve Sinclair heads the New York City Paranormal Police Squad.

When a claw-marked body is discovered, her Alpha Werewolf boyfriend, Jake Monroe, is accused of the murder. With a war brewing between Packs, Eve must get him out of jail and clear his name. And there's only one person she can turn to for help.

Micah Saint James is the Vampire who saved her life and broke her heart. Seeing him after seven years brings up feelings she’s been running from ever since.

The price for his assistance: One dinner. Then Eve never has to see him again. But when it’s interrupted by a second murder, the stakes are raised as Micah becomes entangled in the investigation.

As they hunt for a Paranormal serial killer, emotions and temperatures rise, and Eve is forced to question whether her feelings for Micah are as buried as she’d hoped, and if her relationship with Jake is as solid as she thought. Caught between feelings for a Werewolf and a Vampire, can she solve the murders before the killer strikes again?

There's a monster to be captured even as her carefully constructed life unravels. But it’s not only Eve’s past that refuses to remain buried.

 

My review:

Detective Eve Sinclair is young, smart and secure in her own skin. When her alpha werewolf boyfriend is arrested for a murder he didn’t commit Eve goes to the master vampire who saved her then broke her heart to bail him out setting her up to be emotionally torn between the two. Her heart doesn’t have time for their games as there is a paranormal serial killer on the loose and it’s her job to find and stop the killer.

This is a fast paced exciting paranormal murder mystery that will keep you guessing. I hate that this ended on a cliffhanger but can’t wait to see what happens next.

Until She Dies (Noelle Marshall Book 3) by Kendra Elliot

 

 

Blurb:

Detective Noelle Marshall and FBI Agent Max Rhodes unearth bodies and secrets as they become targets of a serial killer in a chilling novel of suspense by a Wall Street Journal bestselling author.

When a search dog locates a mass burial ground in the Oregon forest, Detective Noelle Marshall is plunged into a hunt for a killer who’s hiding in plain sight. The key to her case lies in a decades-old secret: a lone survivor who escaped and is still out there, living in fear. The murderer is a phantom who left behind a collection of victims with nothing in common but their final resting place.

As pressure mounts to identify the bodies and find the killer, the investigation draws in FBI Agent Max Rhodes—Noelle’s partner in work and in life. They’ve hunted monsters before, but this one has spent years preparing for this moment, and he craves revenge. As the search narrows and the clock tightens, Noelle and Max must confront a predator who knows the terrain—and their weaknesses—better than they do.

 

My review:

Until She Dies is a breakneck paced multiple mystery that will leave you breathless. Noelle and Max are up to the task but it will pull them in several directions and involve multiple agencies. This one hits close to home. Strap in and enjoy.

The Teacup Dragon Sanctuary (Starling Island #1) by Jessica Thorne

 

The Teacup Dragon Sanctuary (Starling Island #1) by Jessica Thorne

 

Blurb:

✨ Every lost soul can find a home on Starling Island… ✨

When apothecary Portia Starling clashes with the Academy, she knows exactly how it will end. With her family’s notorious reputation, someone has to take the blame ­– and it’s going to be her. So, reluctantly, she retreats to Starling Island – a place she hasn't considered home in years – to await news of her future.

Noah Turner has always dreamed of travelling north to study the great dragons of Elanholm. However, as a vet with no magic, funding his research feels impossible. But when an opportunity arises to help at Iris Starling’s dragon sanctuary, he can’t afford to turn it down. If he can prove himself there, he might finally reach his dream.

Portia and Noah immediately dislike one another. Noah assumes Portia is an entitled Academy poser, collecting dragons as a trend, while Portia finds him bossy and overbearing. But with the lives of the poor, sickly rescue dragons on the line, can they see past their differences?

 

My review:

Magic rules in this exciting first in a series. This fun fantasy revolves around dragons, teacup dragons, magic and sadly politics academic and otherwise. I fell head over heels for Portia and the other denizens of Starling Island. Portia isn’t perfect but she is smart, driven and real. The teacup dragons are adorable and Noah is redeemable. I thoroughly enjoyed this tale and look forward to more adventures in this world.
