Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 188 - Her Last Goodbye by Melinda Leigh, The Caledonian Gambit by Dan Moren

Her Last Goodbye by Melinda Leigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoy Chris Dukehar's performance. I have listened to several books she has narrated and like her style in all. Morgan and Lance continue to take dangerous and interesting cases. This one had several surprises as they tried to first find a kidnapped woman and then find the man responsible. This had a plot that build keeping interest up, characters that fit the story line and a surprise romance.


The Caledonian Gambit by Dan Moren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eli Brody does not fit anywhere. After all everyone thinks he is dead. That is the start to a thrill a minute space opera with some science mixed in. Eli is tasked to find who and what is being developed and used as a weapon and stop its use. He has to deal with family, spies, old gang members, and not knowing who to trust. This is a fun read with a very well developed plot, fully fleshed out characters, and good world building. This ended with the mystery solved but there could be a interesting follow up. So far I have not seen any indication that one is in the works.

Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 372 - A Dangerous Collaboration by Deanna Raybourn, The Bayern Agenda by Dan MOren

A Dangerous Collaboration by Deanna Raybourn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Veronica Speedwell and Stoker are off on another adventure but they are not on the same page about their relationship. Set on a island off of Cornwall and with a great cast of characters the question of where and what happened to a bride on her wedding day is at the heart of the story. The plot is full of twists and turns. The bride was not at all what she seemed and as her relationships with each of the characters come to life new twists and turns abound. Added to the mix is the change in the relationship of Veronica and Stoker. Never a dull moment as the story progresses. This is book four and the series just keeps getting better.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.


The Bayern Agenda: Book One of the Galactic Cold War by Dan Moren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This kept me guessing until the end. This is book one in the Galactic Cold War series but Eli Brody and Simon Kovalic were featured in The Caledonian Gambit a previous book put out by another publisher. As a result there were some things in the world building and back story that must have been covered in the previous book. This is plain and simple a spy story and there is no one you can trust. The current cold war is in danger of heating up and Kovalic and team have a lot to discover to keep it from becoming a hot war. A really exciting read with characters who are neither all good or all bad but many shades of grey. Much like real life.
