Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 272- Death of a Clone by Alex Thomson

Death Of A Clone by Alex Thomson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an interesting mystery. There are a limited number of people on the astroid so there are limited number of suspects. We see the mystery through Leita eyes. She is a clone as are most of the other on the astroid. Leita is channeling Miss Marple as she worked through who killed her sister clone. Her sister was close to learning a secret and as Leita works she finds the clues her sister found. This is a good mystery and it is solved but for me it was sad ending. It does highlight what we do to one another is the quest for wealth.

Rancher's Dream by B.J. Daniels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one had it all. There is mystery, danger and a romance that has been on hold for years. Another of the Cahills bites the dust but not before he almost loses the woman he has loved for years. This starts with Drey getting married to a high powered business man who disappears on their wedding night. There is danger to Drey and the only one she feels she can turn to is Hank. They finally solve their problems as they work to discover what is going on. This is very much a thriller with a side story about a mother finding the daughter she gave away years ago. Nice match to the series.

Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 208 - Covert Game by Christine Feehan, Hero's Return by B.J. Daniels

Covert Game by Christine Feehan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second GhostWalkers book I have read and I had not trouble following the story line. Gino Mazza and Zara Hightower are the next two to get an HEA. Zara starts out in big trouble and in a what seems to be a suicide mission Gino helps rescue her. He is immediately attracted and she feels the same. There is a theme about individuals and what they need that is a big part of this story. That is mixed with a high level of tension as two different groups try for Zara. A nice story about how individuals differ and how friends often put the wrong pressure on because it is not what they would want.

Hero's Return by B.J. Daniels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tucker Cahill is back. Before Hero's Return he has just been missing for 18 years and we all wondered if we would ever find out why and where he went. We do find out why but not where. A decades old mystery comes into the light and Tucker is part of both the mystery and the solution. Along the way he meets Kate Rothschild whose brother is also part of the mystery. They have a very complicated route before finally solving what really happened and who was responsible. This was a nice way to finally meet Tucker and bring him back into the family life of the Cahill's.

Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 160 - The Bad Girl and the Baby by Nina Croft, Cowboy's Legacy by B.J. Daniels, A Very Merry Princess by Susan Mallery

The Bad Girl and the Baby by Nina Croft
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have not read the first two books in this series but that did not matter. The Bad Girl and the Baby had no problem as a stand-alone. I loved Darcy Butler. She knew who and what she was and understood that people had a very different picture because of the three years she spent in prison. Her one regret - that prison time is keeping her from seeing her niece LuLu. Captain Matt Peterson is raising his and her niece and is determined to keep Darcy away. I liked how Matt slowly came to terms with what happened LuLu's parents and to accept that Darcy was very different from the picture he was carrying around. There is a great mix of family drama and romance that kept me reading. A interesting twist as usually it is the male who has the bad person role. It was fun seeing the switch with a bad girl and not a bad boy.

Cowboy's Legacy by B.J. Daniels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Maggie disappears everyone thinks they know who took her. Seems they should have been looking in another direction. Sheriff Flint Cahill is looking forward to asking Maggie to marry him when she disappears. The story goes in several direction and we get to visit again with Frank and Lottie. They are now PI's and help unravel the complex story line. Even as I suspected from the first that someone unknown had kidnapped Maggie I did not see the connection to another mystery. As always there is a look at another pair who have been a part of this series. There are still three unmarried Cahill bothers so time will tell if that pair make it. As always from B.J. Daniels the mystery in interesting, the romance good and the characters well developed. All wrapped up in a very complex plot.

  A Very Merry Princess by Susan Mallery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beth Archer is not who she says she is and that is going to cause a lot of trouble for her and for Cade Saunders. Seems the have a lot in common as long as she is plain Beth and not Princess Bethany. Beth is a horse person and is Cade and the horse has a big role as does the barn cat. The two humans flirt a lot, try to take it easy, and in the end almost come to a complete split over something that turns out to be very unimportant. A nice addition to the series and a chance to visit with character from previous novels in the series.
