Mercenary librarians with hearts of gold

Deal with the Devil by Kit Rocha

by 7 Comments

When I read the premise for Kit Rocha’s Deal with the Devil, I immediately knew I would love it. Nina is an information broker with a mission–she and her team of mercenary librarians use their knowledge to save the hopeless in a crumbling America. Knox is the bitter, battle-weary captain of the Silver Devils. His squad of supersoldiers went AWOL to avoid slaughtering innocents, and now he’s fighting to survive. They’re on a deadly collision course and the passion that flares between them only makes […]

Love, oranges, and family secrets

Orange Blossoms-Love Blooms by Dalia Dupris

by 1 Comment

Orange Blossoms-Love Blooms by Dalia Dupris was the December sponsored book club selection for Mocha Girls Read. Based on the cover, I was expecting a sweet contemporary romance. What I found was a story about two Black-owned family businesses and three sets of unique siblings. Elaine Hart loves her family’s orange groves, which were passed onto her father by her grandfather. They’ve had some bad harvests and are unfortunately behind on their bank loan. Enter handsome banker, David Cole who visits the farm to discuss […]

Blood, Iron, and Bone

Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs

Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs

Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs

I started the Mercy Thompson series when Moon Called was selected for the VF book club in 2015. I enjoyed the first book but got caught up with other urban fantasy series from Ilona Andrews and Kim Harrison. Over the summer, I was reminded of the series during a virtual Mocha Girls Read meeting. I decided to dive back in with the audio narration and ended up reading three in a row. Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson isn’t looking for trouble in the tri-cities area of Washington. […]

Leopard lovers

Mine to Possess (Psy-Changeling #4) by Nalini Singh

Hostage to Pleasure (Psy-Changeling #5) by Nalini Singh

by Leave a Comment

I returned to Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series after loving the first three books. In this shared universe, the Dark River leopard changelings (aka shifters) control the greater Sam Francisco area. They have pissed off the Psy council who basically run the world with their psychic powers. Some of the psychics have defected to the shifters and messing with the power balance. It’s so interesting to meet the love interests with the political elements woven into their story. Clay in Mine to Possess is a Dark […]

These fierce Honey Badger sisters are not meant to be underestimated

Hot and Badgered (Honey Badger Chronicles #1) by Shelly Laurenston

In a Badger Way (Honey Badger Chronicles #2) by Shelly Laurenston

by 1 Comment

Since I enjoyed Shelly Laurenston’s Call of Crows series, I started her new trilogy focused on shifters rather than Viking warriors. We got a very small peek of the shifter world in the Crow books, so I was intrigued. The Honey Badger Chronicles follows the misadventures of three sisters who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. I fell in love with these feisty shifter women almost instantly. I thought the Crow warrior women were intense and uncouth, but these fierce sisters are fearless AF […]

A cozy mystery for coffee geeks

On What Grounds by Cleo Coyle

by Leave a Comment

I decided for a change of pace with On What Grounds by Cleo Coyle, the first Coffeehouse mystery. I like coffee, but I really like humorous pun book titles even more. I also LOVE me some cozy mysteries. I’m patiently waiting for the Christmas romances to disappear and the return of Hallmark mystery marathons. They are a balm to the soul whether on screen or the page. I like how the mystery tends to be solved swiftly and how easily I can devour the pages. […]
