Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2456 KP) rated Too Big to Die (An Odelia Grey Mystery, #12) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
One Saturday, Odelia and Greg’s errands are interrupted when they see a dog trapped in a car on a hot day. They rescue the dog, but the dog’s owner is less than happy with them. She turns out to be former reality TV star Marla Kingston, and her husband is a client of the law firm where Odelia works. While he makes Odelia’s work life difficult, the man who stopped to help them winds up dead. What have Odelia and Greg gotten into now?
Any fan of this long running series will tell you to expect a fast-moving case, and that’s exactly what we find here as well. One of the complications that arises here involves a series regular; that part of the book will appeal most to fans of the series. Zee is a strong character in this book, and I always love seeing her, although all the series regulars get a scene or two to shine. A suspenseful climax caps another fantastic book.

Aug 5, 2019
Thank you to Frankie Love, C.M. Seabrook and Booksprout for a copy of this book to review.
Booty Camp is the final book in the Booty Call series.
Even though Grady, as a pilot, has a different woman in every city, there is only one woman he wants. And teaching her to be good at sex for another man, might just kill him. Mila is surprised at how well things are going between her and Grady during their Booty Camp. Will she go to the other man or will she pine over Grady, a man she knows she can't have, or can she?
What will happen between these two friends? Will they become lovers or have to just deal with being teacher and instructor?
Debbiereadsbook (1603 KP) rated Stanley's Christmas Redemption (Mission City #2) in Books
Nov 25, 2024
This is book 2 in the Mission City series, but I am reading it after I've already book 3. It only means I know that there is a happy ever after for Stanley and Justin. They can be read as stand alone books though.
I wasn't sure I'd like Stanley, after what he did to Maddox from book 1, but the man does redeem himself beautifully here, eventually!
It's a very instalove book, much in keeping with book 1. Mid level smexy times, not explicit but thats really not what this book is about.
This book is about looking at your previous life choices, recognising that maybe they weren't the best choice, and trying to make good on them. Stanley does a complete 180 turn at the beginning of this book and it was a bit whiplash-y but it all comes good! I really did like that Maddox became friends with Stanley, in the end.
The ansgt level is mid range, but very much inkeeping with the other two books.
I'm really enjoying this series, I want to visit Mission City again real soon!
