Book Review: Killer Secrets by author Lora leigh

Killer Secrets is the 5th book in the The Seals series by Lora Leigh. This one is about Ian Richards Fuentes. Ian makes it seems he is going rogue from the elite ops Durango team. You see his father is Diego Fuentes. Leader of a  drug cartel and all around bad guy. Ian made plans to kill him and Sorrell another bad guy for what they did to his best friend Nathan Malone ( book 1 of  Elite OPS series) and several other nefarious deeds. He had to make it appear he went to the other side and take over the drug cartel from his dad and make everyone think he's following in his dads footsteps. He underestimates his friends in Durango team and one Miss Kira Porter. Kira is a contract agent for DHS ( Dept of Homeland Security) She has a thing for Ian but also she has a mission. Keep him from killing Diego. DHS wants him alive and Ian would like him dead. Bigger threat is a man called Sorrell though. No one knows who he is and what he looks like. What they do know is he's a killer. He is responsible for Killing Kira's parents and her uncle Jason's fiance years ago. Kira became a agent with Uncle Jason's help for revenge. Will she get it? What will happen with Ian and Kira once Ian finds out one of the reasons Kira is there is to keep him from killing Diego. Below is a little blip from Killer Secrets.

THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE


As the illegitimate son of Diego Fuentes, Ian Richards faces danger at every turn. Neither his father nor his fellow Navy SEALs knows which side he’s fighting for—or against. Which is exactly how the game must be played…until Agent Porter enters the picture.
 
STIRS HER DESIRE FOR LIVING


Kira Porter, an undercover agent for the Department of Homeland Security, shadows Ian on his journey. She thinks she can see the real man beneath Ian’s bad-boy exterior…but the ever-elusive Ian keeps her guessing at every turn. Is his goal to protect the Fuentes cartel from French terrorists? Or to do his father in for good? The only thing Kira does know is that her attraction to Ian is a time-bomb waiting to explode. With time running out on the Fuentes mission, she and Ian are drawn ever close to the edge of desire—and even closer into the line of fire…

Review: A Date with the Other Side by author Erin McCarthy

A Date with the Other Side is not a new book. It came out in the year 2005.  I came upon this book after reading another of Erin's books and decided to peruse her back list. Then i found the follow up to A Date with the Other Side, Heiress for Hire at the local library. Yes i read these books in backward order but at the time i didn't realize it. I have to report though that they are both hilarious. I spent alot of time laughing out loud when i read these books. Below is a snippet from A Date with the Other Side.

Haunted house tour guide Shelby Tucker gets hot and bothered when she stumbles upon sexy, naked Boston McNamara. She knows he’s no ghost, though he does makes her weak in the knees.

That's it? lol Tell you a whole lot though i think. Read a excerpt here on Erin McCarthy's website. Shelby is a divorcee at the young age of 26. She is helping her grandmother out and trying to support herself by giving Haunted House tours thru a series of houses her grandmother owns in Cuttersville, OH. The most  haunted town in America. She walks in on a naked Boston McNamara not knowing he's rented the house from her grandmother for several weeks. Grandma has plans for them. I'll leave it at that. lol Boston is there from Chicago to check in on the factory in Cuttersville.He's not even sure why he's been sent to the middle of nowhere but it feels like it's a punishment of some kind.

Honestly if you want a fun sexy read this is a good place to start. I really enjoyed it and i wasn't sure i would. I read Heiress for Hire first which is the follow up to A Date with the Other Side. Loved it so i knew i had to read this one too. I'm giving it 5 out of 5 Modokker Book Pick Stars. I can also recommend her Fast Track series. Her next book out is a part of that called Hot Finish. If you like sexy race car drivers try this series out.

Book review: The Search by author Nora Roberts

The Search is the lastest release of author Nora Roberts. This is a lengthy book that is a Suspense romance. It has alot of things going for it. It has alot of laugh out loud parts as well as the suspense and mystery of what's going to happen with the serial killer. While i really enjoyed the book as a whole i felt it was a bit to wordy and had some parts that could've been left out. Fiona is the only survivor of a serial killer 7 years ago and year later that killer murdered her cop fiance and his service dog. He gets caught and put in prison. Fiona moves on and becomes a dog trainer and a search and rescue person. She meets Simon a woodworker when he brings his new puppy to her for training. The whole dog training provides some funny moments and Simons brash no nonsense ways is kind of charming in a way. I ended up really liking him alot. The wordy part comes in all the talking about the training of dogs. There's just to much of that i think. Below is a little piece from The Search.

To most people, Fiona Bristow seems to have an idyllic life-a quaint house on an island off Seattle's coast, a thriving dog-training school, and a challenging volunteer job performing canine search and rescues. Not to mention her three intensely loyal Labs. But Fiona got to this point by surviving a nightmare...







Several years ago, Fiona was the only survivor of the Red Scarf serial killer, who shot and killed Fiona's cop fiancé and his K-9 partner.




On Orcas Island, Fiona found the peace and solitude she needed to rebuild her life. But all that changes on the day Simon Doyle barrels up her drive, desperate for her help. He's the reluctant owner of an out-of-control puppy, foisted upon him by his mother. Jaws has eaten through Simon's house, and he's at his wit's end.




To Fiona, Jaws is nothing she can't handle. Simon, however, is another matter. A newcomer to Orcas, he's a rugged and in-tensely private artist, known for the exquisite furniture he creates from wood. Simon never wanted a puppy-and he most definitely doesn't want a woman. Besides, the lanky redhead is not his type. But tell that to his hormones.




As Fiona embarks on training Jaws, and Simon begins to appreciate both dog and trainer, the past tears back into Fiona's life. A copycat killer has emerged out of the shadows, a man whose bloodlust has been channeled by a master with one motive: to reclaim the woman who slipped out of his hands...

If you would like to read a excerpt of The Search and learn about other book releases from Nora Robert you can do so by clicking here. While i enjoyed this book it wasn't up to what i was hoping to get from Nora Roberts. I give it 3 and 1/2 Modokker Book Pick Stars. Nora Roberts next release is the last in the Bride Quartet series. Happy Ever After.
