She’s been a detective with the Seattle Police Department for four months now. And barely longer as a shaman. My Take Crack me up…Joanne’s plan to not be recognized by wearing a mask is thwarted with that wolf whistle, lol. After events in Coyote Dreams, 3, Joanne has gotten more introspective about her perspective in childhood. I do like that she’s finally starting to accept that she has gifts. I do enjoy Joanne’s engine metaphors; it’s amazing how many can be interpreted, ahem, sexually, lol. No, that’s not why I’m laughing though. It’s that Jo is amazingly shy about such things and is so used to being one of the guys, that I can’t help but laugh when she catches herself, accidentally revving […]

The couple focus is on Lily King and Regan O’Connelli. I couldn’t wait to dive into Thompson’s new installment in the Sons of Chance saga, and was particularly grateful to receive this eARC. No, I’m still gonna do an honest review…*grin*! My Take This is typically Thompson with a sweet romance filled with decent people with whom you’d love to be friends. Although there are some people I’d be happy to see dumped at sea. Then there’s Lily with her big heart as she slowly realizes that Nick and Regan made some good points — our Lily is the poster girl for “I can’t say no“. I can get behind Lily’s philosophy, and I do agree with her […]

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Wild Waysin eBook edition on May 13, 2014 and has 288 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon, Barnes & Noble Second in the Justiss Alliance, a romantic suspense series. The couple focus is on Mollie Reagan and Julian Cuevas. My Take A story about dysfunction and love and family. Funny how they always seem to go together. There’s Molly obsessed with caretaking her sister, abandoned by her parents and grandparents, and desperate to know what it’s like to belong to a loving family. Then there’s Julian who has too much family who all love him, but loco. It’s a cute start as Wainscott impresses right away with how tough the boys are. It actually is a good story with realistic reactions from Mollie. It could use more depth and a bit more show. However, please, what is Wainscott’s obsession with these info dumps! Writers need to incorporate background information into the story. Make it natural. Throwing in these asides takes me out of the story…it also makes me more critical. Ahem. “…and four men […]

My Take I do love how Joanne envisages her healing powers, using her experience as a mechanic to re-inflate lungs, smooth out the dent in the exterior skin, ease out that air bubble in the line, lol, handle the dehydration in that overheated engine… I just can’t help laughing as well as enjoying the imagery. I’m feeling so relieved that the steps Joanne took in Thunderbird Falls, 2, and continues to incorporate into her daily routine, are helping Gary get past his heart attack. It’s like watching a video of Joanne’s teenhood, as we discover what Joanne already knows, and I’m curious, and hoping Murphy goes into more detail in a […]
