good solid read

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarain, I was gifted my copy of this book.

It's been a long LONG time since I read a Kindle Alexander book, and I feel torn about this one.

I liked the plot, it runs a similar one to Texas Pride, book one in this series.

Mace and Slade have chemistry, powerful chemistry, that burns bright and hot throughout the book, even when they are seperated. But I found the emotional connection lacking a bit. I thought Slade knida railroaded Mason into doing what he wanted, rather than talking it out. I get Slade has so much more to lose by keeping things quiet, but I still felt (all the feelings on this one!) Slade could have backed off a little bit, at some points.

It does feel choppy at points as well. Some things were thrown in, and not fully explained before moving on. Little disconnected in places.

I dunno if it's a "me, not you" thing, or what, but I wanted so bad to love this, but I couldn't and I'm sorry for that.

I did like Mason's family and how they all reacted to the news. Slade's group of friends were close, and supportive, while ribbing and joking about everything.

I did love that we caught up with Kitt and Austin from Texas Pride. They play a large part but you don't need to have read their book for this one to make sense. Dash Richmond plays a part too. His name was ringing bells so I went to look, but his book is Friction and I've not read that one. I might go back and read it now, he intrigued me!

A good read, hitting 3.5 stars

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Cheating Death: The Doctors and Medical Miracles that Are Saving Lives Against All Odds in Books

Apr 27, 2018

Dr. Gupta takes his readers on a wild ride through modern medical science. I learned so much from this book! It was interesting, fast-paced, informative, but also held a certain amount of adventure and suspense as Gupta tells stories and relates interviews with people who have had amazing experiences with life and death—and in-between. Prepare to have your mind boggled with modern day science written in easy-to-understand and easy-to-follow prose.

Audio review: The audio-book was read by the author, and he is one of the best readers I’ve listened to. Gupta takes pride in his own work, and it shows through his voice. It’s not too fast or slow, is read with energy, and is enjoyable and engaging.

Recommendation: Ages 16+ to anyone who likes non-fiction, medical thrillers, or thrillers of any kind.
