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!

Justice Seekers

My Thoughts:

Wow, this was a thought provoking and good book. Hawk isn't the man his wife remembers him to be because, well, he doesn't remember that man. I cannot imagine how horrible and scary that must be to wake up and not remember anything. Jillian's dedication to her husband, even when isn't the man she remembers was touching.

There are some really tense moments and I loved seeing characters from previous books. Their daughter is precious and it was sweet watching the father/daughter bond happen. The author really did a good job with this one and it was touching!

4/5 for me. I truly enjoyed it from start to finish.

My Thoughts:
I love Terry's wolf books and this one was a great addition. Peter and Meghan are not new characters so it was great to see them get their own book. He is such a straight laced wolf that it was fun to see his playful side come out. Granted there was still plenty of serious because there was someone after his girl, the book still had an overall uplifting feel.
I love that the author incorporates ghosts and the ability of the three sisters to see and talk to them. There were some awesome characters that we get to reconnect with and some grumbly ones that I really don't want to see again (but they fit their roles perfectly!). It was overall a good holiday read with romance, danger and family all mixed together in a wonderful way.
It was a 4/5 for me.
