Merissa (12027 KP) rated The Perfect Lap (Racing Hearts in Serenity #2) in Books

Sep 24, 2019

The Perfect Lap is the second book in the Racing Hearts series, and this time we meet with AJ and Ella. Ella made a mistake and lost her job because of it. She also split with her boyfriend as he had a hand in it too. AJ is a great racing driver, but lets his personal issues cloud his mind once he has finished the race. Together, these two have lessons to learn.

This was an easy read, and a great follow on to book one. It didn't have the same pizazz for me as Nora's Promise, but it was still a charming read. AJ really does have a heart of gold, and just needs Ella's help to focus on what is really important. In turn, Ella needs to realise that not every man is a write-off. Add in three children and a down-on-her-luck mother, and you have all the ingredients for the story. I particularly liked seeing the cameos from Nora and Davey, plus the hints of the books to come.

A smooth read, with no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading, this was perfectly paced and with a strong set of characters. You do not have to know anything about Nascar racing either (which is a bonus for me!) Absolutely recommended, but I would suggest you start with Nora's Promise first, just to get the bigger picture.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated The Catch (The Player, #2) in Books

May 7, 2019

This is the second book in this series by this author. I couldn't wait to read this book after reading the first one. This is the conclusion to the series and all unanswered questions are answered. This book will still shock you though. This book has fantastic twists and turns which will have your heart racing and will have you happy and sad. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

The first three-quarters of this book was brilliant. The scenes were set perfectly, the suspense was building to crazy proportions and my heart was racing at times. The book was let down by it's ending and the introduction of Vic. I wanted there to be a twist, the first one, where we learn of the relationship between Ashley and Mark was good and unexpected, but the second one, the addition of Vic, was poor and ineffective. A pretty good book overall but could've been better.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2194 KP) rated Last Puzzle & Testament (Puzzle Lady #2) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

A rich old maid leaves her heirs a collection of cross word puzzles in a treasure race for their inheritance, and Cora must judge the results. However, when the bodies start appearing, things turn deadly for everyone. An inventive plot with great twists kept me racing through the pages, although I was very glad when Cora sobered up for the second half of the book.
