Book Review: Frostbitten (Deep Ops #6) by Rebecca Zanetti

 

Title: Frostbitten (Deep Ops #6)

Author:  Rebecca Zanetti

Stars: 5

Review:

If you haven't read the Deep Ops series, you might want to read at least the first book, so you know the different characters. 

I love this series and Frostbitten is a perfect addition to this series that readers are falling in love with.  The characters are so over the top fun. Millicent and Scott are the leads and while they are apart of Deep Ops they are almost secondary characters in most of the books.  

The character development blending with action and steamy romance will keep readers wanting more even after they know who the bad guys are. The community that Milli grew up in will have readers laughing so hard.  Who threaten to hurt a cat? You know they are evil. 

Rebecca Zanetti has the ability to pull readers into her books with feisty women and steamy sexy scenes. 

Thank you to netgalley for advance copy of Rebecca Zanetti Frostbitten. 

If you haven't picked up a single book of Deep Ops I highly recommend you take the chance.  Fun Romantic suspense series with lots of laughs. 

Synposis:

Enigmatic.
With a wildly gifted mind, and an untamed head of hair to match, petite powerhouse Millicent Frost is brilliant when it comes to gadgets and electronics—less so with people. After an attempt to bust a bank scam goes awry, Millie is in hot water with Homeland Security and targeted by lethal enemies. In the midst of the trouble, she heads home to help out with the family hunting and fishing business. But when their rival competitor and Millie’s ex is murdered, she’s the number one suspect . . .
Irresistible.
Former Marine turned lawyer Scott Terentson devotes himself to getting his clients out of tricky binds. A loner, the last thing he wants is to belong to any team, yet the Deep Ops group considers him one of their own—and he pays the price by getting shot at by their enemies. Now Millie is seeking his help—just as he’s dealing with a brutal fail regarding a recent trial. Both are a headache, yet he’s drawn to Millie in spite of himself. They’re opposites, but maybe the old adage is true . . .
Electric.
Working together, Millie and Scott soon have more on their hands than they bargained for as the danger escalates—along with the sizzling heat between them. And when a disappearance is thrown into the mix, all bets are off

Book Review: Mating Instinct: A Moon Shifter Novel (Moon Shifter #3)

Title: Mating Instinct: A Moon Shifter #3

Author: Katie Reus

Stars: 4

Review:

Katie Reus has the ability to gives readers what they want to read. This story is a second chance romance that will come at readers fast and let's admit it a little naught too.  I am not always a fan of Supernatural stories and yet somehow Katie Reus always pulls me into her world, and I am unable to walk away from the strong women and alpha men. 

If readers love Shifter stories with the right number of sexy times to story you will enjoy this series.  Yes, I started with book 3.  Which it can be read as a stand-alone novel. 

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of Mating Instinct. 

First time publisher was 2013.

Book Reviews Starting up again!

 I will admit Bookhimdanno hasn't been my priority lately mainly due to life getting in the way.  My family of 6 came down with a head cold that has taken two weeks for everyone to get over expect me it's been 3 weeks.  I am lucky like that!

While I have been sick and really unable to think more than where are the nose tissues, I have been reading some of my favorite authors and going back rereading several books.  Which is crazy I hate rereading books I already knows what is going to happen. 

That being said I loved getting a chance to review the amazing stories.  One author who I loved and adored died this year along with her husband in a house fire.  I find myself going back to her stories wishing she was still here so I could tell her how I loved her stories. 

Ritter Ames sent me many of her stories before they went to the publisher and often times when I would comment on a story line or secondary plot, and she would tell me she had felt the same way, but the editor felt it wasn't needed or it needed to change.  As time went on Ritter and I soon became friends talking about life, her pup and mine.  I was even able to meet her in person when she came to Phoenix for a convention which she snuck me into.  She sent my kids fun items for her book release. 

Losing her I lost not just a friend but an author who embraced me with all my spelling errors and grammar issues. Ritter Ames saw my love of reading even though I struggle due to my learning disabilities. I miss one of my favorite authors but most of all I miss the friendship I had developed with her over the years. 

Thank you for allowing me to tell you about Ritter Ames. 

I will tell you all the books on my "to review list" are all set for 2024 a few at the beginning of the years.  Those will start to be posted starting December. 

I am hoping to keep reviewing stories as well as finding new authors to fall in love with.  That bring said my family and my health are the most important part of my life so while I will still review there will be times and months where the reviews might not be as new as I hoped for.

Thank you to the author who have entrusted me with their amazing tales and stories.  I can't tell you how honored I have been and will continue to be. 

Netgalley and Updating Review

As a reader I sometimes find myself reading more and more stories without reviewing the story.  I get lost in so many amazing stories that have read over the last several months. 

I have to go back and reread some of the stories that were a bit more forgettable story.  With that being said I am working my way through several months of stories and reviewing them as quickly as I can.

Thank you for being patient with me. 

Here is a list of stories I will be reviewing over the next few weeks

On Her Watch Melinda Leigh

  I Only Read Murder  Will Ferguson; Ian Ferguson

The Missing Witness Allison Brennan

Wild Magic Alexandra Ivy

Life is getting away from me. Yet I am still reading book Just forgetting to Review.

 I am so sorry to everyone who follows this blog or maybe not one follows this blog.  Oh Heck Who knows anymore. 

The last several months have been for lack of a better word Strange. Crazy? I am not really sure what to call it to be honest.

I take certain medications.... Oh forget it I have Moderate General and Social Anxiety and lets not forget Moderate ADHD because let's face I am full of invisible disease. I take medication daily for my mental health. While that isn't unusually for me not being able to fill said medication is. I need my medication to be able to function otherwise I am pinned down with anxiety and unable to do more than sit and focus on things I cannot control.  Yes, that is with my coping mechanism I have been taught to us.  My poor husband has been dealing with this mental health issues since we were first married.  It wasn't until 14 years into our marriage I started to take medications and the whole world changed for us for the BETTER!

This stimulate is also the only one I can take into the country of Japan.  TO say I have been stressed and my anxiety is out of control would be like sticking your finger on your sprinkler outside.  It helps a little but sooner or later your will be soaking wet and there is nothing you can do about it. 

Where am I going with this you might be asking.  Good question I have no idea since I haven't been able to take my medication for 5 days now.  My thoughts are racing which makes it impossible to be able to focus on anything IE writing reviews.  I can totally hyperfocus on reading books but writing review with my learning disabilities sets off my anxiety crazy high.
