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 # 126 - Power Games by Christine Feehan, Binary System by Eric Brown, Under Her Skin by Adriana Anders

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

Nonny is still collecting new family members. This time it is Bellisia or Bella. She is small but deadly and has just escaped the control of a very bad man. On her last mission she heard Captain Ezekiel Fortunes and his men sold out so she goes to check it out. Turns out she has to save Ezekiel and the heat between the two is burning hot. A fun romance with a lot of danger, some interesting enemies, and a large cast of characters. Through it all Bellisia and Ezekiel are working toward their HEA. Can be read as a stand-alone. I listed to this as an audio book. The reader was very good and kept the tempo of the story moving forward with great voices for the different characters.

Binary/System by Eric Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I like Eric Brown's books and this was no exception. This has it all. A explosion causing a trip 10,000 light years away, natives to the planet, aliens other than humans who are no good and a interesting plot line. The characters are great. The non-humans come in several types that add to the flavor of the book. The backstory is worked into the plot and the world building is excellent. A fun read that is not over long. I found it just right for a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Under Her Skin by Adriana Anders
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked the premise but was bored by all the sex. The characters were interesting and the two themes very relevant. Battered Women and life as an ex-con were right on target as important issues. What I did not like as I stated above was the pages and pages of pre-post and actual sex. The character building was interesting especially as facts from the character's past were revealed. There was a nice ending to the story and as this is book one in a new series I expect more on current themes and interesting characters.
