A Heartbeat Away by Michael Palmer

Book Description: RELEASED TODAY!!!!!
The New York Times bestselling author and master of suspense delivers another novel at the crossroads of politics and medicine in this shocker of a thriller
On the night of the State of the Union address, President James Allaire expects to give the speech of his career. But no one anticipates the terrifying turn of events that forces him to quarantine everyone in the Capitol building. A terrorist group calling itself “Genesis” has unleashed WRX3883, a deadly, highly contagious virus, into the building. No one fully knows the deadly effect of the germ except for the team responsible for its development—a team headed by Allaire, himself. The only one who might be able to help is virologist Griffin Rhodes, currently in solitary confinement in a maximum security federal prison for alleged terrorist acts, including the attempted theft of WRX3883 from the lab where he worked. Rhodes has no idea why he has been arrested, but when Allaire offers to free him in exchange for his help combating the virus, he reluctantly agrees to do what he can to support the government that has imprisoned him without apparent cause.
Meanwhile, every single person in line for presidential succession is trapped inside the Capitol—every person except one: the Director of Homeland Security, who is safely at home in Minnesota, having been selected as the “Designated Survivor” for this event. With enemies both named and unnamed closing in, and the security of the nation at stake, Griff must unravel the mysteries of WRX3883 without violating his pledge as a scientist to use no animal testing in his experiments…and time is running out.
Tense, thrilling, and entirely plausible, A Heartbeat Away will make you reflect, wonder, and be truly afraid.

My Thoughts:
Wow! I completely enjoyed this book. Genesis is a group that is terrorizing the United States. The president's State of the Union address is always a much anticipated event and President Allaire's is no exception. Tickets are much sought after and people are proud to be there. Just as he is starting his speech, Genesis releases WRX3883, a deadly virus into the room that holds almost the whole line of presidential successors! Allaire is the only one that understands the ramifications of this virus and the man he believes to be his only hope is in maximum security for the theft of the virus, Griffin Rhodes.
I liked how quick this book was! You can't stop turning the pages because you have to know what is going to happen next and if the virus will kill everyone. The subplots are intriguing and lead you to believe a 'red herring' and I so fell for it! The medical mixed with the political was a nice touch, there was a lot of research involved here. I also appreciated the list of presidential successors at the front to know exactly which character when into what slot.
This is a 5/5. If you like suspense, you will enjoy this book!

My Thoughts:
These were good books. In 'A Thousand Tomorrows', Cody Gunner is the best bull rider around. He uses bull riding as a release for his anger toward his parents. His father left because Cody's younger brother has Down Syndrome and Cody has always blamed his mother for his father not staying. He meets Ali, who is a kindred spirit with a big secret. Their likeness draws them together even as her secret will tear them apart.

In 'Just Beyond the Clouds' continues Cody's story. He is back home, trying to figure out where life is going to take him and make some tough life choices. He wants to care for Carl Joseph, his brother, and is angered to find that Elly, Carl's teacher is teaching him to live independently. Feelings develop between Cody and Elly but both are afraid to persue them in case they get their hearts broken, and what would it do to Carl if they had a relationship?

I fell in love with Cody. He made such an amazing transformation in the first book. His love for Ali was so strong and pure, just amazing! I knew what was coming but still cried at the ending. In the second book, Cody just became an even better man. His love for his brother was great, his relationship with Elly was complicated and Kingsbury did a great job working through all of the 'issues' while educating us about the diseases in the stories.

5/5. These books are great, any woman would love to read them. Beware, they will make you cry!

As Hero's wedding nears, and Griffin's enemies lay plans to end their dreams forever, can two imperfect people findperfect true love?

My Thoughts:

This book was ok. Lady Honor is engaged to the Marquis of Mandeville. She is the sister to a duke, been raised her whole life to be a lady and is completely and totally attracted to her future brother in law. She and Lord Reeding meet under 'delicate' circumstances and neither can get the other out of their mind. When Reeding's faults are brought to light, will it run Hero off or will she be drawn in even more by his rakish ways?

The author did a good job with the characters. They were believable and I really liked several of them. I completely disliked Mandeville, he was a pompous jerk! Reeding and Honor defiantly had a spark between them but I just wasn't drawn into the story or to the characters. I did like the ending of the book though, I thought it was the perfect ending.

This book was a 3/5. It was an ok read but not great.

My Thoughts:
I liked the story of this book. Lora Spade is a firefighter who has called in the SSD to investigate a series of arson fires where there are victims trapped. She and FBI SSD agent Kenton Lake meet under stressful circumstances and she punches him! Kenton is immediately drawn to Lora but in his investigation he can't afford to trust anyone but his team. Unfortunately his attempt to make the arsonist focus on him has brought the man to Lora's doorstep. Now he has to focus on keeping Lora safe while trying to control the raging passion between them!
The story itself was good. I really didn't care for all the F*bombs through the book. I thought they were a bit much and actually detracted from the story, but if you can get past those, the actual story was interesting and suspenseful. I thought I had the arsonist figured out from the beginning but the author had me guessing wrong! Lora and Lake have a very hot romance with sparks constantly.
I rate this book a 3/5. Lots of f*bombs and sex scenes but good story line.

As a merciless criminal spins a web of...DEADLY LIES

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this book. Sam is a member of the elite SSD unit of the FBI. She is still fragile from her 'death' experience with the watchman and needs a place to feel safe. She finds this in the arms of a one night stand, Max. The problem is she can't get over him and comes back for more. Then, the unthinkable happens and Max's family gets brought into her current investigation and she and Max have to work together to try to save his brother's life!
I completely loved Sam's character. She has been hurt and you can feel her hesitation and yet she is so strong! Max is a 'man's man' and you automatically are drawn to him. The two of them have a hot attraction and seem to just click. The support characters are great and their characters get developed even more. It is an interesting journey.
This book is a 4/5. Good story but be warned lots of hot sex scenes.
