Review | One Tiny Secret, T.A. Kunz

One Tiny Secret by T.A. Kunz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Intriguing YA romantic/mystery:

Dani is overly supervised by her father, the local sheriff – making her life a prosaic event where she seems to ‘ache’ for a chance to be rebellious. Her old friend, Janice, is even more stringently imprisoned by her mother. And yet the two manage to sneak to a party…where Dani gets drunk and wakes up in the bed of an old boyfriend. Parker, having returned into her life with a determination to win her back, is recorded by person(s) unknown leaving Dani’s house in the morning.

…And thus begins a mysterious tale of blackmail, by a person who has clever technology skills, can send her threatening and warning messages and then delete them before Dani can show anyone. When she tells her father, he simply doesn’t believe her. And her friend Janice has gone missing from the party, and suspicion seems to be aimed very much at Dani.

This is a multi-layered story of intrigue and mystery, romance and passion, as Dani and Parker are gradually drawn closer together, and the investigation into her friend’s disappearance is deepened when those close to Dani become victims of the blackmailer’s dark agenda.

The book contains all the elements of a good YA romance, but with a clever mystery plot underpinning the storyline. Intelligently constructed, with many suspects to keep the reader puzzling, and a recommended read with a great twist.

Review | The Housewife Assassin's Handbook, Josie Brown

The Housewife Assassin's Handbook by Josie Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great rom/com:

Fast-paced funny romantic/mystery, leaning heavily on the mystery element of the story and not too much on the romance. The latter is there - clearly visible - but what keeps you page-turning is the cleverness of the plot as it twists and turns to a great conclusion. Witty dialogue and great characters keep you chuckling throughout.

Review | No More Wasted Time, Beverly Preston

No More Wasted Time by Beverly Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hot and steamy in some beautiful scenery!...


A deeply romantic story of an unlikely match… Tess, a loving mother and responsible and no-nonsense lady meets the famous Tom – an A-list Hollywood type – on a trip to Bora Bora. She is there to lay to rest her departed husband, and Tom is there for nothing more than a good holiday and a rest from his hectic schedule.

This romance begins with an instant attraction, followed by some quite graphic sexual liaisons. The backgrounds to their developing love-affair are richly detailed – as picturesque as any travel brochure could do justice to – and I certainly got the impression that the author had travelled to these places by precision of the colourful place-settings.

This is definitely one for romantic fans who enjoy seeing how two people are prepared to adjust their perceptions and expectations, risk a new beginning, and allow the heart to rule the head even though the head may be warning caution. This is also one for fans of some steamy passion curtained by beautiful locations.

Recommended read…unless you’re shy. Try not to be. The saucy side of the story is tastefully handled.
