Book Review: Deep Freeze (Stormwatch #2) by Vicki Hinze

Deep Freeze (Stormwatch #2)
Title:  Deep Freeze (Stormwatch #2)

Author: Vicki Hinze 

Stars: 4

Review:
Deep Freeze is a quick action pack clean mystery romance.  The story plays on the theory of Denver Airport conspiracy theories. The character pop off the page and cones to life in the fast pace story.  Every time readers get a breathe the characters are thrown into another crisis.  Wondering who they can trust. The author packs in back story while keeping the story moving forward.  There are gun, bombs and clean romance packed into one long night of a winter storm of the century.
Thank you to Netgalley for the copy of Vicki Hinze Deep Freeze.


Synopsis:
The storm sweeps in like a thief in the night...

Winter storm Holly is the worst in eighty years bringing high winds, subzero temperatures and snowfall better measured in feet than in inches. The weather paralyzes everything in its path, but, in this storm, weather isn't the only threat.

Emma Miller, a probationary security consultant posing as a reporter, is stranded at Portal International Airport in the worst storm in eighty years. She’s reassigned to protect a top-secret High Containment Lab in the international airport that houses the deadliest bio-contaminate diseases on the planet. A lab under attack by international terrorists who want those pathogens to sell on the black-market.

Dr. Gregory Mason Martin is a bio-containment specialist who runs the top-secret lab, and he knows Emma well. They grew up together, went to school together, and she’s always fascinated him, but she has a long-standing habit of going through men like water, so he’s kept his distance. He doesn’t dare to trust her or her abilities.

Now, all these years later, they must work together to protect the lab and stop the terrorists from obtaining the pathogens. And they must protect the pathogens from Holly, the deadly storm barreling mercilessly toward them. If those pathogens are stolen, the world will be held hostage, and worse, if mishandled, the country could be facing the worst pandemic in history. A pandemic that in short order could wipe out not just cities and states, but the entire nation.

Both are willing to risk their lives. Both are reluctant to risk their hearts. Yet events prove neither of them is who they were thought to be. And a fierce battle against terrorists and the storm proves challenging but no match for the challenges chambered in their human hearts.

Hindsight (Kendra Michaels, #7)
Title: Hindsight (Kendra Michaels #7)

Stars: 4

Review:
This can be read as a stand alone novel and readers will know what is going on at all times never getting lost.
The Johansen are able to pull readers into their world and keep readers hooked and in need of more.
The story is a perfect flow and the characters are a balance of strong, weak, smart and at times have readers rooting for them.
Kendra Michael is likable as she is uses her abilities to figure out the killers.  The world readers are pulled into is a mix of physiological thriller and mystery that will keep readers thinking about the story long after they have put it down.

Now her skills are needed uncomfortably close to home. Two staff members have been murdered at a school for the blind where Kendra spent her formative years. But the murders are puzzlingly dissimilar: one victim was brutally stabbed, while the other was killed by a bullet to the head. Are the crimes related? Or is Kendra on the hunt for more than one dangerous killer?

With the killer (or killers) still on the loose, Kendra must put her life on the line to unravel a terrifying conspiracy. But Kendra soon discovers that she herself may hold the key to the deadliest secret of all..

Stars: 4

Review:
Since this was the second book in a series I quickly found the first one on Kindle Unlimited and start to read it. After finishing it I decided to start book 2 even though I wasn't nearly as excited as I originally thought I would be.  The moves quickly with it western feel mixed with magic and endless blood shed that some how Lizbeth survives over and over again.
Fans of Charlaine Harris will love this new series as for this readers I still trying to figure out if I love it or hate it.

Title: Bishop's Endgame (Endgame Trilogy #3)

Author: Katie Reus

Review:
I really wanted to love the story because the last two have been leading up to What happened to Ellis.  I am not sure the beginning was a little annoying because the Ellis isn't the bag guy and he really plays a really bad bad guy to the point it is almost laughable that Arianna didn't try to escape.
The story flows well and readers will love the conclusion to the Endgame Trilogy.  Katie Reus is able to being suspense romance and sexy time into her stories will keeping reader wanting more from the characters they have connected to.

Book Review: Where Demons Hide A.M. Brooks

Where Demons Hide
Title: Where Demons Hide 

Author: A.M. Brooks

Stars: 3 1\2

Review:
I am not a fan with the stories starting off with one night stand sex scenes.  The story seems to revolve around the endless hot and heavy sex scenes. While the story take a back seat.  When the story does comes out I found it interesting.  The female lead is constantly pushing people away and that story is extremely repetitive to the point of eye rolling. The first half of the story is very slow going and sex related.  While some will love the hot and heavy romance side of the story but those looking for a balance will need to find a different author.
Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of A.M Brooks Where Demons Hide.

Synopsis:
The City of Sin holds more than secrets.

He doesn’t remember me.
But, I remember him.
The mysterious and brooding Jay McCall.
His touch. His kiss. His hands on me.
It’s burned into my mind.
The one incredible night we shared.

But, that was before...
Before I lost my brother.
Before grief held me hostage.

He’s back, and it has nothing and everything to do with me.
The secrets he’s keeping are tangled with my brother’s death.
My heart. My body.
At war over a man I barely know.
A man who knows the truth.

He wants me to trust him.
I want to.
But to survive in a place where demons hide,
I must trust no one... not even myself.

Review:
The story starts off with a very sad woman that author wants readers to get behind.  The story is very disconnected as the story moves forward Camden throw the investigation out the window with very little though of what would happen.  This seems to continue though out the story which make little since that a trained undercover FBI agent risking the undercover operation.  The story ends up falling flat lacks a focus, sections are written and than thrown into the book with little focus causing the stories to fall apart.

Review:
Kaylea Cross is able to write a action packed romance that will keep reader hooked from beginning to end.  Readers will either love or hate the Valkyrie stories as they can be graphic and at time brutal with you read about women deep cover special operations expects. 
The author is able to create a bond with women who distrust each other due to the background and those who have betrayed them.
The story moves quickly and while it is a stand alone I believe readers need to start with book 1.

Book Review: Risk It All (Rocky Mountain Bounty Hunters #2) by Katie Ruggle

Risk It All (Rocky Mountain Bounty Hunters #2)

Title: Risk It All (Rocky Mountain Bounty Hunters #2)

Author: Katie Ruggle

Stars: 4

Review:
I will admit I am a huge fan of Katie Ruggle and the characters she brings alive on paper.  Cara comes off as little juvenile at first but as the story evolves so does Cara. The characters finds her voice and becomes strong and willing to take care things. AS always her male leads are too good to be true but are strong willing to right the wrong.
 Katie Ruggle is able to bring to life a city, people, and a community as well villains who will have readers unable to put the book or series down.
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of  Katie Ruggle Risk It All.

Henry Kavenski is a man with innocence to prove. When he realizes that Cara believes him, he'll do anything to keep her out of harm's way. Escaping criminals and dodging cops might not be the best time to fall in love, but Henry and Cara won't give up, not when there's a chance at a new life ahead--if they can survive the fall.

Sensual Surrender (The Serafina: Sin City, #2)
Title:  Sensual Surrender (The Serafina: Sin City #2) 

Author: Katie Reus

Stars: 3

Review:
This is one of those romance suspense books that will have readers yelling at the female characters. She falls into the stupid female roll of horror movies and dies. The only difference is she doesn't die.
The story is short, moves quickly and lots of sex scenes for how short the pages are.
The basic story is a great idea but focus on sex instead of what could be a action packed story.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of Katie Reus Sensual Surrender.

And deep down, she fears he’ll never be able to forgive her for hiding her past from him.
