Risk it All by Katie Ruggle

Book Description:

Cara Pax never wanted to be a bounty hunter. She's happy to leave chasing criminals and tackling skips to her sisters. But if she wants her dreams of escaping the family business to come true, she's got one last job to finish... Only problem is, she doesn't think her bounty is guilty.

Henry Kavenski is a man with innocence to prove. When he realizes that Cara believes him, he'll do anything to keep her out of harm's way. Escaping criminals and dodging cops might not be the best time to fall in love, but Henry and Cara won't give up, not when there's a chance at a new life ahead—if they can survive the fall.

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book. I like the Pax sisters from the first book and this one focuses on Cara. She isn't like her rough and tumble sister from the first book but more of a researcher. The sisters' interactions were still great but seemed lesser in this book than the previous book. I love how they all stick up for one another and have each other's backs.  That is how family should be.
Henry was a quirky character and I enjoyed getting to know him. The author did a good job with how the characters met and came together. I liked both Cara and Henry so their story was fun to read. Of course there were plenty of adventures because Cara is in the bounty hunting business. I enjoyed the twist at the end that I hadn't figured out!
It was a 4/5 for me.  I can't wait to see what happens next with these sisters.

Holiday Homecoming Secrets by Lynette Eason

Description

A man from her past is back—

to help her solve a holiday murder case.

A friend is missing and presumed dead, and detective Jade Hollis is determined to track down the killer. To do that she must team up with private investigator Bryce Kingsley—who doesn’t know he is the father of her child. But she’ll have to put personal secrets aside because the killer will strike again to keep the truth from being exposed.

My Thoughts:

This book kept my attention from the start and didn't let up! Jade is horrified by a discovery she made and even more bothered by the fact that Bryce Kingsley is back in town after being gone for years. I love that the author wrote this realistically. Jade was truly torn and her past experiences didn't help that. The friendship between the friends was deep and I was heartbroken, horrified, and surprised by what all happened.

Bryce had his own past to deal with and work through. The misunderstandings between him and Jade finally made sense in the end. I wasn't sure exactly what was going on but I cheered for them throughout. I thought Jade's family was amazing and loved the kiddos in there. Plenty of action and shocking moments throughout.

It was a 5/5 for me. I truly enjoyed it, start to finish!
