Short and Sweet Book Reviews #16 (Wicked Burn by Rebecca Zanetti, The Secrets She Kept by Brenda Novak

Wicked Burn (Realm Enforcers #3) by Rebecca Zanetti

Paranormal Romance

While this is part of a series it can stand alone.  Simone and Nikolaj should not be together but with Simone in danger Nikolaj jis the one to come to her recue.  Look for lots a sexual tension, sex and danger as the two fight to keep a war from breaking out.  This is a fun book with great world building, back-story and plot.  As an extra there is a new Dark Protectors novella with Talen as the main character.

The Secrets She Kept (Fairham Island #2) by Brenda Novak

Contemporary Romance

This is book two in a series and you really need to read book one , The Secret Sister, to be in the know.  Josephine Lazarow was not that great a Mother but now that she is dead each of her children have to come together and find out if she really committed suicide.  After book one I knew that there were a lot of secrets.  As the title states she kept more than anyone knew and they are all coming out now that she is dead.  Very well written with a great plot, wonderful characters, and enough tension to keep you reading far into the night.
