CRUISING through MIDLIFE

CRUISING through MIDLIFE

ADDISON MOORE

 

Reviewed by Author Roy Murry

 

I thought this book would be a story about someone going on a cruise for fun. In the Amazon description, which I read after reading the book, the whole story is given away – strange.

However, Trixie goes on the ship Emerald Queen after she finds her husband with three naked hussies. Then the fun begins, with a whole cast of characters on the cruise.

A body is found in the only suitcase she brought on board the ship. Trixie meets the captain, the ship's detective, two ladies who live on the ship year-round, and her ghost.

A whirlwind of eating, drinking, and snooping follows. The comic events outdo the serious investigation with a surprising ending.

CRUISING is an excellent first read in an 18-book series. If you want to cruise vicariously, this is for you. It's fun, but cruising is not for me.

MY MASQUERADE

Aliens in Merry Olde London, could it be? The Reeves are from another universe and settled in the United Kingdom in the 1800s.

Reeves Hall is miles from their London business, where a catastrophe has happened. Because women on the Reeves home planet command respect and power, Liora's brother transforms her into a man because English men control business and the country.

                                                   

En route to London, she encounters the Duke of Coleford. They have a homosexual encounter. From this point on, the Duke is confused about what will happen next, and so is the reader.

New events bring the two together, leading them to try to solve a crime and shape the fate of the Duke's love affair. The tangled web is set.

The prose is colorful and flows well. However, I found the plot hard to believe because it relies on too many scientific examples.

Mr. Fitzgerald is friendly when he meets Molly Quinn McGuire on a flight from the USA to Ireland. She is talkative, and emotional sparks fly.

At a prominent Quinn family gala, a person Molly dislikes is found murdered. To conduct the police investigation, Detective Fitzgerald is sent from a larger community.

The surprise encounter leads to a joint investigation when Molly finds information that could solve the crime. However, Fitzgerald's evidence points to Molly's brother, Dillion, and he is arrested, sparking conflict.

Only a few villagers could have committed the murder, and Molly, in her snooping, ends up with little to free her brother. When an important event happens, Molly comes into contact with a key to find the culprit.

This leads to an explosive ending for readers of Book 1 of The Molly McGuire Mysteries. It is an unpredictable and fast-paced whodunit with an Irish twist.

Drink a cup of tea when reading this novel. Everyone in the novel is.

THE PROPOSAL

THE PROPOSAL

L. Steele

Reviewed by Author Roy Murry

 

Liam and Isla's erotic romance journey follows their thoughts as they navigate their predicament, which begins with a proposal contract. She clarifies her thoughts in one chapter, followed by his complicated impressions.

He says to her, in one episode, "The only 'please' I want to hear from you is when you're under me with your pussy pried open and around my cock. This statement is mild in the hypersexual scenes.

Between their sexual encounters, Liam and Isla go into long explanations as to why they should or should not be together. They marry to complete part of the contract.

However, not everything is well with the agreement. She has a secret, but billionaire Liam keeps waiting for her to confess.

This romance's complications go on and on - too long for me. But the banter is worth waiting for the ending.

L. Steel has put together a series in the EROTIC and ROMANCE genre that reading lovers will enjoy. This story's sex scenes were too much for me.

But all the other facets of Liam and Isla's predicaments were interesting. And the writing is above par.

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

A secret garden lies behind a florist shop that Mitsy inherits from her grandmother. An important woman sips one of her teas at a town event, dies, and Mitsy is among the suspects who murdered her.

This changes as she finds nuggets of information in the garden. Mitsy turns over her grandmother's notes to a good-looking detective.

A collaboration with the local detective begins as Mitsy uncovers each secret. Their work leads to a group of locals who may be the culprits in a poisoning.

The story moves with the rhythm of a metronome, with each paragraph flowing into the next and into the next chapter. Reading this was fun.

Good Read; purchase https://amzn.to/4xY50bi

WHICH WITCH IS WHICH

WHICH WITCH IS WHICH

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

If you love the WITCH genre, this book is for you. Tierra, a witch, summons her sisters using magic.

Each sister is her doppelganger and possesses a witch element: air, water, fire, or earth. In their adventures to Tierra's home in Port Townsend, Moira, Claire, and Aerin use a form of sexual prowess to delay man's evil control.

Men, the Bible's Four Horsemen, want to destroy the world. However, the four sister witches must become three. The conflict ends in a battle of good against evil.

The four authors do an excellent job of bringing every story together in enjoyable magical prose. This is the first in a series that witch lovers should have on the bookshelf.
