The Beauty Killers (Kal Medi #3) by Ann Girdharry

Women will go missing. And none will return.
A collector who lures women.
And then keeps them. 

A string of beautiful women go missing.
And when an undercover policewoman disappears, Kal and Marty take the case. 

They track a killer who lures women, captures them and keeps them.

But it soon becomes clear the case is even more sinister than they imagined.

A high-level detective is linked to a cover-up and Kal and Marty are caught in a complex, evil conspiracy.  The clock is ticking to find the missing women and it seems the perpetrator has more than one accomplice…

This is the third book in the Kal Medi series (can be read as a stand-alone).

I would like to thank Ann Girdharry for a terrific psychological third book in the Kal Medi series.

Detective Chief Inspector Spinks has asked Kal Medi and her friend Marty to help him on a case. Women from the streets and at Clarence House (which is a safe haven for people on the streets) have gone missing. 1 of the women is a police officer. Something is off at Clarence House, there is a police officer who looks suspicious, staff who are being secretive. Kal has gone undercover to find out things and befriends a young man who is looking for his friend (who is 1 of the missing women). Marty is undercover too at Clarence House, what will she find out and is her life in danger? What is Detective Chief Inspector Spinks hiding from Kal?

All will be told in this brilliant third installment of the Kal Medi series.

Scandal by Sasha Morgan

Scandal is the perfect rip-roaring, bonk-busting horsey escapist read for fans of Jilly Cooper and Tilly Bagshawe.

As the new custodian of the ancestral home, Treweham Hall, Tobias Cavendish-Blake soon discovers exactly what he's inherited. Instant financial action is needed if the Hall is to survive the mounting debts it's racking up. Adding insult to injury the family is forced to sell the Gate House on the estate to lottery winners Gary and Tracy Belcher – not the kind of neighbours Tobias was hoping for.

Megan Taylor inherits her grandmother's country cottage in the village of Treweham and decides to make a fresh start there, taking a job at the local country pub.

When Megan meets Tobias, the attraction is clear, but she is determined to resist his charms, put off by his reputation and that of his best friends – the rakish Seamus Fox, son of a millionaire race horse trainer and dastardly jockey Dylan Delany. But Tobias is a hard man to resist...

I picked this up as I'd read Jilly Cooper books when I was younger. As well as I like a bit of naughty romance kind of story.

Tobias Cavendish-Blake has run into some financial problems, can lottery winners Gary and Tracy Belcher help? Megan Taylor has just inherited her gran's cottage, but in the attic is a box that holds a secret that hasn't been told. What has her lovely old neighbour Ted to do with it? 

I loved the characters and the way that riff raff (Gary & Tracy Belcher who won the lottery) got welcomed into the fold (if I ever win, that's how I would like to be lol). Tobias, Dylan and Seamus are lush. Megan is lovely and has a soft spot for Ted her neighbour, but what is the local vet Nick after when he bumps into her, just as she was about to be knocked down and why blame Tobias for driving.

All will be revealed when you read the delightful and sexy scandalous Scandal book.

The Blame Game (A Brook Brothers Novel #1) by Tracie Delaney

Their paths were destined to cross.
First she’ll make him hers.
Then she’ll ruin him.

To save his dream, Jax Brook needs a loan—fast.
And the gorgeous, seductive Indie Monroe holds the key to his success. 

At first she’s supportive, enticingly so, but as Jax falls deeper under Indie’s spell, he can’t help but wonder at the secrets she won’t share.

Indie hasn’t a mean bone in her body, but family must come first. 
For the sins of his father, Jax will pay. 

Except Jax isn’t the sinner, she is. And she’s fallen for him.

As their lives collide, Indie begins to have second thoughts about the path she’s destined to walk. However, she isn’t alone in her desire for vengeance. Someone is pulling her strings. And no matter how hard she tugs, they won’t let go.

If he can’t forgive her, will he at least try and save her?
Love is supposed to be strong. Isn’t it?

I would like to thank Tracie Delaney for writing a brilliant book. A new series for me to get my teeth into is just what I needed at the moment lol.

Jax Brook is a man who lost his dreams and hopes when he was 18 years old. Now he's an adult and wants to make the best for his 3 younger brothers. He wants to open up a hotel, but he can't without financial help. In comes Indie Monroe, a woman with on a deadly mission to ruin Jax Brook, but can offer that help, but at what price?

This is a story of love, betrayal and above all forgiveness (but at what cost is forgiveness going to take). You will have to read The Blame Game and find out what secret Indie has to hide from Jax and whether forgiveness is really what it takes.

​Written on the Apple Tree
A moment from a past life, a possession, or a simple meeting between strangers?


I'd read Trading With Death previously as a standalone, that got me started on Ann Girdharry books, so when I was asked to read and review Chilling Tales of the Unexpected, I jumped at the chance.

Trading with Death - 2 little girls walking through a woods. Both are sisters. 1 is ill and is dying the other is healthy but wants to take the illness away from her sister. What happens in the woods, stays in the woods. Who comes out of the woods - both or just 1, you will have to read and find out what happened in the woods.

Doll Face (DI Tudor Manx #2) by Dylan H. Jones

Three months after solving his last case, DI Tudor Manx leads a harrowing investigation to catch a killer terrorizing the Isle of Anglesey.

After the body of the first victim, Sian Conway is found, the suspicion quickly falls on her boss, Kimble McLain, and her volatile ex-husband, Liam Fowler.

The autopsy soon reveals Sian was eighteen weeks pregnant and when the coroner finds a religious text hidden in the victim’s liver, Manx suspects this could be the work of a serial killer.

The case takes a shocking turn when footage of Sian’s murder is discovered.

With a twisted killer on the loose and a rising body count, Manx's personal life hits rock bottom when an old colleague from his past hits him with a bombshell revelation

Why does Kimble McLain have links to each of the victims?

And what is the killer’s real motive?

In a race against time to reveal the killer’s identity, Manx will face his toughest case yet. 

Just to say I've never read anything by this author. I haven't read the 1st of the series yet, but I will.

This was suggested for me to read as I like crime/thrillers. It confused me slightly as I hadn't read book 1, but as I slowly got into the story and what the characters was like, I felt like it was going to a page turner for me. 

It makes you think you know who the murderer is, who's involved and for what reason the killer's motive was, but it had me guessing at each corner. I was shocked when they told us who the murderer was and who the characters was (in relation to who). I'd definitely would read Dylan Jones' first book and any more that he writes. 

From Ashes To Flames (West Brothers #1) by A.M. Hargrove

This is a stand alone contemporary romance novel from the author of For The Love of English

I had it all—the dream job, a wonderful boyfriend, a fabulous life.
Or that’s what I thought.
Then my life took an unexpected turn and I found myself working as a nanny for the hot-tempered Dr. West.
He and his regimented spreadsheets and rude attitude were more than anyone should have to take.
If that jerkface thought he could order me around, he’d better think again.
Then one day I discovered his secrets, which explained why he acted the way he did.
I never expected my heart to soften towards him so much.
I never expected to have such sexy dreams about him.
Nor did I expect to want him the way I did.
But he was my boss, older than me, and off-limits.
And if I wasn’t careful, everything, including my heart, would go up in flames. 

I would like to thank A.M. Hargrove for writing a brilliant and sexy start to a series I hope she will carry on writing.

Marin is woman who had it all, till she took a job as a nanny for the sexy and hot Dr Grey West. Grey is a brilliant heart doctor, but with 2 kids in tow and heartache. Can Marin and Grey co-exist and see their way through the love and fire or will their relationship be doomed forever.

I have read Ms Hargrove's previous books in the past, so I know her writing and her concepts always make me want to read more. When she writes more in this series (which I hope she does), I will definitely be reading them.

Watching You by Lynda Renham

Ewan Galbreith is out of prison. 

Libby Owen is scared. 

Fifteen years earlier she saw Ewan murder her aunt and uncle with their own shotgun, and now he’s coming for her.

I would like to thank Lynda Renham for this wonderful and page twisting book.

This started off really good and I wondered what they was going to do with going back and forth with the story. Libby is really scared of Ewan Galbreith. The way Lynda makes the story unfold and the twists within the book. It made you think of so many different characters (if they killed Libby's aunt and uncle). But you NEVER see it coming to who really killed them. I was shocked that the killer was revealed so late in the book that it turned my thoughts upside down lol.

Definitely would recommend this book and will definitely be reading more from Lynda Renham in the future.

The Wedding Date by Zara Stoneley

One ex.
One wedding.
One little white lie.

When Samantha Jenkins is asked to be the maid of honour at her best friend’s wedding, she couldn’t be happier. There are just three problems…

1) Sam’s ex-boyfriend, Liam, will be the best man.
2) His new girlfriend is pregnant.
3) Sam might have told people she has a new man when she doesn’t (see points 1 and 2 above)

So, Sam does the only sensible thing available to her… and hires a professional to do the job.

Actor Jake Porter is perfect for the role: single, gorgeous and cheap! Sam is certain it’s the perfect solution: no strings, no heartbreak and hopefully no chance of being found out.

But spending a week in the Scottish Highlands with Jake is harder than she imagined. He is the perfect boyfriend, charming, sexy and the hottest thing in a kilt since Outlander! And his dog Harry is quite possibly the cutest things Sam has ever seen!

As the wedding draws closer, Jake plays his part to perfection and everyone believes he is madly in love with Sam. The problem is, Sam’s not sure if Jake is acting anymore… 

I would like to thank Netgalley and Zara Stoneley for writing a brilliant and at times funny novel.

I wasn't sure I would get into this story as it's not exactly my usual genre. But as I needed a funny story, I chose this as it looked good through the cover as well as the way the characters was portrayed. Sam is a funny woman who has 3 problems at a wedding. 1. Her ex boyfriend Liam is going to be Best Man at the wedding. 2. Liam's new girlfriend is pregnant. 3. Sam has kinda told everyone that she has a new man in her life but she hasn't. So what do you do when you have promised your best friend to be her Maid Of Honour. You hire someone who is gorgeous, sexy and really cheap - in walks Jake Porter. 

The antics that this book brings between Sam and Jake as well as all the other characters are brilliant. I would definitely read more by Zara Stoneley in the future.

Baked with Love: The hotly awaited sequel to The Girl I Was Before (Lily McDermott Series Book 2) by Izzy Bayliss

The hotly awaited sequel to The Girl I Was Before 

Everything is going great for Lily. She and Sam are more in love than ever and she is about to open her very own bakery but she soon discovers that no matter how much time you spend perfecting delicate pastries, running your own business isn’t always easy. When Sam announces he has to move to New York for work, Lily is miserable but when he surprises her with a proposal life is perfect, right? 
But Lily finds it hard to let go of old hurts and when Sam eventually loses patience, Lily is left devastated. 
Can Lily finally learn to leave the past in the past or will she let it ruin the future for her? 

"A perfect, heart-warming romance.” 

I want to thank Izzy Bayliss for writing a superb sequel to The Girl I Was Before. 

I found the sequel to be as good as the 1st book. It brought laughter and insight into brilliant characters. Lily now has her own bakery called Baked With Love. It starts off really slow (not the book the bakery lol) like all businesses, but she still has the awful and interferring ex husband Marc, her meddling sister Clara, her delightful father Hugh (who I adore), her best friend Frankie (who is a scream at the best of times) and Sam (who is so lush). More hilarious antics and things that Lily gets up to. She has some things going on and the poor woman never knows if she is coming or going lol.

Can't wait to see if Izzy Bayliss will do more for Lily McDermott and gang as we follow her life.

The Girl I Was Before: 'A Fun Feel Good Read' (Lily McDermott Series Book 1) by Izzy Bayliss

When Lily McDermott walks in to find Marc, her husband of just three months in bed with actress Nadia, life as she knows it is over. Lily thinks things can't get any worse when she sees photos of her husband and his new lover splashed across the glossy magazine pages, but when she loses her job too, she is at her lowest ebb and turns to baking to soothe her soul. Wounded and broken she has to try and pick herself up again with the help of her best friend Frankie and with her encouragement, Lily decides to turn her hobby into a business and sets up Baked With Love. However whatever Lily does, it seems disaster soon ensues and when handsome stranger Sam comes to her rescue, Lily isn't quite ready to turn her back on her marriage. 
Can Lily risk opening her heart again or is she destined to allow Marc to shadow her life forever? 

I have never read Izzy Bayliss books before, but somehow I felt like I was opening up a warm and comforting novel. Izzy gives the characters a kind of homely feel but with a bit of a disguise with the storyline. 

Can't wait to read her next book and see what happens with Lily, Sam and Marc (the ex husband).

A great start to a new author and series for me and I can't wait for what happens next and will definitely be reading more from this author.

The Good Samaritan by John Marrs

She’s a friendly voice on the phone. But can you trust her?

The people who call End of the Line need hope. They need reassurance that life is worth living. But some are unlucky enough to get through to Laura. Laura doesn’t want them to hope. She wants them to die.

Laura hasn’t had it easy: she’s survived sickness and a difficult marriage only to find herself heading for forty, unsettled and angry. She doesn’t love talking to people worse off than she is. She craves it.

But now someone’s on to her—Ryan, whose world falls apart when his pregnant wife ends her life, hand in hand with a stranger. Who was this man, and why did they choose to die together?

The sinister truth is within Ryan’s grasp, but he has no idea of the desperate lengths Laura will go to…

Because the best thing about being a Good Samaritan is that you can get away with murder.

I want to thank Netgalley, John Marrs and Amazon Publishing for allowing me to read this great psychological novel. It has all the markings of a great psychological and intense book.

You have Laura who is to be at first believed as a nice, warm, sympathetic and kind woman at the end of a phone to people who've got problems. You have Ryan who is a loving, kind man who's whole world has come crashing down when his pregnant wife commits suicide. What have these two people have in common - Laura was the last person Ryan's wife spoke to. OR was she? Why is Ryan chasing after Laura? What is Laura hiding from people? Can a good samaritan really hold a life in their hands and snuff it out or is it all make believe?

You need to read this riveting book that has had my emotions all over the place. I have hated, loathed, detested Laura through this book. I have cried over characters and the way they seem to think there is no way out of the life they lead. I have cheered for characters as they turn corners from their struggles. But OMG have I immersed myself as I've read what these characters have gone through in their lives (Laura included). Can a Good Samaritan ever be DERANGED or are they like the rest of us - just NORMAL people. Find out in this The Good Samaritan novel by the excellent John Marrs.

The Restless Dead: (David Hunter #5) by Simon Beckett

‘Composed of over sixty per cent water itself, a human body isn’t naturally buoyant. It will float only for as long as there is air in its lungs, before gradually sinking to the bottom as the air seeps out. If the water is very cold or deep, it will remain there, undergoing a slow, dark dissolution that can take years. But if the water is warm enough for bacteria to feed and multiply, then it will continue to decompose. Gases will build up in the intestines, increasing the body’s buoyancy until it floats again.
And the dead will literally rise . . . ‘
It was on a Friday evening that forensics consultant Dr David Hunter took the call: a Detective Inspector Lundy from the Essex force. Just up the coast from Mersea Island, near a place called Backwaters, a badly decomposed body has been found and the local police would welcome Hunter's help with the recovery and identification . . . 
Because they would like it to be that of Leo Villiers, the 31 year-old son of a prominent local family who went missing weeks ago, and they are under pressure to close the case. Villiers was supposed to have been having an affair with a married woman, Emma Derby. She too is missing, and the belief is that the young man disposed of his lover, and then killed himself. If only it was so straightforward.
But Hunter has his doubts about the identity of the remains. The hands and feet are missing, the face no longer recognisable. Then further remains are found - and suddenly these remote wetlands are giving up yet more grisly secrets. As Hunter is slowly but surely drawn into a toxic mire of family secrets and resentments, local lies and deception, he finds himself unable, or perhaps unwilling, to escape even though he knows that the real threat comes from the living, not the dead.
With its eerie and claustrophobic sense of place, explosive heart-in-mouth moments, and viscerally authentic forensics and police procedural detail, coupled with David Hunter’s own uncanny ability to understand the living as much as the dead, The Restless Dead stands as a masterclass in crime fiction and marks the stunning return of one of the genre’s best.

This is final book in the David Hunter series. I've had the series minus this one for a while. So I've sat and read/listened to the series. 

I've found I hated a couple of characters in this book (not David Hunter). David has been called out on a body in the water. Is the body someone who went missing 7 months ago or is it the person who was last seen 6 weeks ago. Who is the body in the water? You need to find out by reading The Restless Dead to see what David Hunter can do to help with who is the body and how they died.

Playboy by Logan Chance

They call me a playboy. 

Sure, I like to have fun with the opposite sex, but hey, in my line of work, who wouldn't? 
My name's Jonah and I work for Bunny Hunnies, a swimsuit magazine. Calling the shots, and taking pictures of gorgeous women is every man's fantasy, including mine. 

That is, until Chelsea Sincock walks onto the set of one of my shoots. 

I've known Chelsea since before she was this hot as hell vixen wearing nothing but a bikini. 

What is she doing here? 
Does her brother, Declan, know? 
Did I mention he's my best friend? 

This is going to be hard, I mean difficult, to work with her. And the more I gaze at her from behind the lens, the more I realize I'm in way over my head.

I would like to thank Logan Chase for writing another great steamy book.

What do you do when your best friend's sister comes to work for you? How do you feel when those feelings come back for your brother's best friend? 1 kiss was all it took to save a damsel in distress, will it lead to anything else or will it crush 1 of them? All will be revealed in this hot and steamy Playboy book.

Apple Pie to Die For by Sharon Kleve

Marjorie’s apple pie is award winning, but is it worth dying for?

All Marjorie Vanhorn desires is to make people happy with her award-winning pies—and to be kissed by the delectable county medical examiner, Anderson Swift.
Marjorie’s nemesis is Eloise, the newly appointed county fair organizer, she is blackmailing contestants to get their award-winning recipes. She really wants Marjorie’s apple pie recipe, and if she doesn’t get it, she is willing do whatever it takes to stop Marjorie from winning more blue ribbons.
After being released, jailbird Vega disappears. Kelli and her son Joey are finally free of her physically abusive husband. Nobody misses him, not even his parents.
When Vance, Vega’s twin brother is released from prison, he heads for Marjorie's house where he suspects he might find his brother...and a little fun. Marjorie has no desire to be Vance’s fun. 

I was given this book by the author to review as I like romance books.

This was a quick and fast read. I loved the characters and the way that Marjorie makes Apple Pies and wants to fall in love with the Medical Examiner but she is hiding a secret. What that secret is, you will have to read Apple Pie to Die For.

Definitely will be reading more from this author as I love her style of writing.

I never expected the boy who always saved me to be the man who kidnaps me.

Standalone Mafia Romance 

I received this through Kindle Unlimited and would like to thank the author for writing such a great book. 

What do you do when the man/boy who was your best friend all of a sudden wants to kill your father? What do you do when the girl/woman who your in love with, her father has hurt you so bad you want revenge? You take what’s his - HIS DAUGHTER. Find out in this exciting Mafia style book what 1 man will do for REVENGE.

Loved this book as the characters remind me of so much of other stories I’ve read. The sex is OMG = steaming. The main characters Rhiannon and Xavier are drop dead gorgeous but have so much passion for each other it’s unreal. If you love Tracie Podger’s books, then you have to read TAKEN by Logan Chance.
