Hate to Love

Someone Perfect by Mary Balogh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Westcott just keep adding characters to write about. This is a standard hate to love trope. It was predictable but enjoyable to read. As this is book 9 there are a lot of relationships to keep up with and a lot of the book spends its time tying all the many previous characters into this story line. That did break up to plot as it ground to a halt during that time.

Number 5 in the Series

Wave Rider by Michelle Diener
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the Verdant String series. Once again Diener has delivered a great story set in one of the planets of the String. There is romance, danger, tension all making a hard to put down story. I loved the interesting mammals that play an important part in the series. Can stand alone but is better if you have read the previous installments in the series.

Oh How The Mighty Have Fallen

The Duke Goes Down by Sophie Jordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A good start to a new series. One Duke is exposed as illegitimate so no longer a Duke. One parson's daughter who has a history with that Duke. Now he gets his comeuppance and she is part of the reason he is caught out in a lie told by his parents. Very good character building and a interesting plot. Now for the next in the series. Is it the person how takes his place and becomes the Duke. I hope so.

Not Boring

A Duke in Time by Janna MacGregor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read the prequel and really liked it. There I met the main characters in The Widow Rules series. As I started A Duke in Time I thought that I knew just what was going to happen and I settled down to be a little bored. That did not happen. I did not know what was going to happen and I was surprised to see all the different paths that Janna MacGregor took Katherine Vareck and Christian down. They did arrive where I expected but the journey was anything but boring.

Interesting Problem

Blackmailing Mr. Bossman by Anna Hackett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A little different from what I expected. I got caught up with the problem and how the two main characters reacted to each other. I found the problem hard to believe but it did make a lot of tension as the story line developed. Look for crossover characters form Hackett's other series.

Also From Kickstarter

 I also got a short story and a novella set in the diving Universe when I joined the Kickstarter.

Huches, a short story was a quick interesting read and Maelstrom a different type of story line.  Both are set in the Diving Universe but are side stories with new characters and settings.

Lots of answers and lots of questions

The Chase: A Diving Novel by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Everything comes together at the end or is it everything falls apart at the end. This takes a ride with several different groups and several different levels of technology. Boss and Coop have a wild ride and in the end are left with more question than answers. This comes out in Oct but I got it easy by participating in the Kickstarter to finance the story. Now I am waiting for the next part of this saga. The Diving Novels have a lot left to reveal. Hope a new Kickstarter arrives soon.

Slow But Sure

A Brambleberry Summer by RaeAnne Thayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Once again the house and Abigale are important characters. So is a very brave dog. Rosa gets her HEA after hiding her past and trying to ignore the love the is developing between herself and Wyatt. A nice happy ending and a interesting journey to get to that ending. This one did drag a little so four stars not Five.

Great New Series

Astray by Jenny Schwartz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I started out confused but things did make sense as I kept reading. After the confusing the story really took off. Nora Deviis a great character and I loved meeting her. Captain Liam Kimani is in disgrace and out on the border. He and Nora meet briefly as both arrive on station. Then things happen and they are thrown together as the plot thickens. Great start to a new series. Looking forward to book 2.

More Mad Morelands

His Improper Lady by Candace Camp
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How great. We get three new Morelands. Desiree Malone is one of the new Morelands and Tom Quick is out to get her. Funny how it turned out. The closer he got the more he liked then loved. Great story with a mystery that brings on the romance. I did know who done it but no spoilers.

Interesting Plot

The President Is Missing by Bill Clinton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You start out not knowing what the threat is and work from there. A lot of preaching about politics and the health of the country. Plot sounds like it could happen any day now. Fun to read. Easy to see where and who is the one leaking secrets.  I do want to read the next book in the series.

These two just cannot get a break. Just when you think everything is going to be OK all **** breaks loose. Loved the Kinzie and Reese Garrett They are the perfect mix and just belong together.

Great Story

Boundless by Jack Campbell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had forgotten how quickly Jack Campbell could draw me into to a story. I was hooked from the first page and everything flowed in a way that kept me hooked. It was great to step into the world of John "Black Jack" Geary and see once again many of the characters from the previous books. Glad it is a trilogy sorry that I have to wait for the next book.
