Missing Us

Missing Us (A Chandler County Novel)

by Traci Wooden-Carlisle

Emotional story filled with drama and suspense that keeps you guessing what will happen next. Terry has secrets that he brought into his new marriage which torn it apart. Now he wants a second chance but what is done is done and can’t be undone or can it? Trust is needed before they can rebuild their relationship but with secrets still in the way forgiveness maybe but I don’t see how that is possible.

I did think he could have given her a bone without giving the whole thing away. I understand why he needed to keep quite but I just think this relationship could have been saved before it fell apart. It was a good read with suspense. It held my attention and I truly enjoyed it.

His youngest daughter now has a life and love he has always wanted for her and their relationship has healed enough for her to allow him to give her away during her wedding. He hopes the weeks he will spend in Chandler County to ensure her transition from her life and career in Chicago to Chandlerville before the nuptials will be enough to convince his wife…ex-wife of his love for her and hers for him.

by Traci Wooden-Carlisle

A very spiritual romance that is sweet and clean that really touches your heart. It is emotional read about discovery of one's self that is complex with a stalker.

The story is filled with drama, danger as these two works out their issues danger comes close leaving it a touch and go if they will live to see another day and find love. I thought it was a nice sweet read but needed a little more information and chemistry. The author gives a great plot with a believable story line that does hold your attention. It was a very enjoyable read with really characters and real emotions.

Superior Collision

Superior Collision (Crossing Forces #5)

by C.A. Szarek

Story grabs you from the first page with drama, action, humor and suspense with a story I couldn’t put down and read at one setting. Taylor is FBI on the hunt for the person who killer her partner. She has had a hard time getting over his death and promises to bring his killer to justice. Shannon is with the police department and in Dallas as a witness in another crime. Shannon is very attacted to Taylor he has a way of calming her but she isn’t looking for romance or any kind of relationship. She is out for blood and wants vengeance for the killing of her fiancé.

I really enjoyed the slow buildup of their romance it is slow, steady and exciting. As they get to know each other and work on their jobs they can’t help fall in love. The distance between them makes it hard to have a relationship but in at the same time it makes it easy for them to fall for each other. The plot is great with some exciting twists and turns that thrilling. The story has a well blending emotional plot that holds your attention with suspense that you crave. I totally loved it.

Summary

Sparks fly when a rigid FBI agent and a patrol sergeant collide on the path to catch a killer.

Special Agent Taylor Carrigan takes ‘control freak’ to the extreme. Her need for structured rigidity rules her life—and her job at the FBI. She doesn’t do emotion, so when her fiancé is murdered, she doesn’t know how to deal with the internal fallout.

Antioch Police Sergeant Shannon Crowley has been intrigued with the uptight FBI agent for months. When he looks at Taylor, he sees more than the mask she hides behind.

She doesn’t have time for the cop who won’t quit chasing her—she’s got chasing of her own to do. Taylor admits he calms her, but he’s a distraction she can’t afford. She’s playing a dangerous game, riding the line between revenge and justice.

Keeping Shannon close could give Taylor the balance she desperately needs, but it would put something more than her case in jeopardy—her heart. With so much on the line, is she capable of handling it?

Summary

A one night stand can't possibly mean forever…

Detective Jared Manning met his match at a bar. After a night of passion, she sneaks out of his bed without so much as a note. Problem is, now he can’t find her.

Kindergarten teacher Melody Nash doesn’t do one night stands. Embarrassment gets the best of her and she lies about her name.

When they collide at her school, Mel resists his pull. She won’t risk her heart on the obvious playboy, even though she can’t stop thinking about the night in his arms.

Stress engulfs both Jared’s personal and professional life. His brother is at the centre of the joint case he and his partner are working in cooperation with FBI. He puts his job on the line when he fails to share his blood relation—a complication he doesn’t need, considering the FBI agent on the case is convinced his brother killed her fiancé.

Balance is the name of the game. Can Jared save his brother and convince Mel they’re meant to be together?

Reader advisory: This book contains references to past sexual abuse and rape that happened when the character was a child.

She’s the one Nate can’t stop thinking about. The one he let get away. He’s determined to get her back, no matter what she thinks she wants. Being a witness in her case puts them close—and Nate intends to keep it that way.
