DANNA

DANNA

JAN ROMES' 

Coffee & Dessert in

Key West Series Book 2

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Riley and Meg own the Coffee & Dessert Cafe in Key West, Florida, USA (Book 1), where they met and married. The cafe is a front for a matchmaking enterprise.

Meg is DANNA's friend. DANNA is a blond, outspoken dynamo who wants to get married and does not connect with Meg's matches.

It is comical how DANNA finds her match, who is not what he seems to be. The highs and lows of their commingling and their friends' participation and comments, especially Erin's and Jorge's, make up the romantic adventure.

Ms. Rome's prose and characters' conversations are fun to read, making readers want to turn those pages. It is not the first nor last of Ms. Romes's works I have read.

You should also. Have fun; read all three in the series.

SINS of the ANGELS

SINS of the ANGELS

The Grigori Legacy Book One

LYDIA M. HAWKE

Review by Author Roy Murry

This supernatural thriller is a spin on the Bible's Cain and Abel story. Caim and Aramel, brothers and angels, have a conflict that could end in a war between Heaven and Hell.

With demonic intervention, Caim escapes the limbo imposed by Aramel, embarks on a mission to find a woman, and begins a murderous rampage among mortals. Standing in his way is Detective Alexandra Jarvis, a formidable mortal he must eliminate to exact his revenge on Aramel.

A dysfunctional godly hierarchy controls this whole demonic story. The ONE is being deceived by an underling who put the coupe into action.

SINS has its sins. This thriller is fast-paced and has moments, but as the first book in a series, the characters' narratives are overly descriptive, making the book longer than needed.

A standout feature of SINS is its prose, which will undoubtedly engage and captivate readers of paranormal thrillers.

TWO A DAY

TWO A DAY

LAUREN BLAKELY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

After meeting Drew on a beach under strange circumstances, Brooke takes him home for sex. These events continue into an erotic affair.

He is an American football team quarterback, and she is a corporate sports lawyer. Their work lives collide, and co-workers do not have sex without telling the Human Relations Department first.

Until their big boss wants them to 'Fake Date' because the team they work for needs good publicity - Brooke and Drew look cute together. Their passions lead to a problem of emotions.

Love wins. What do you want? It is a romance novel.

It's not one of the best I've read - too many detailed sex scenes.

Crushing on Doctor Grump

Crushing on Doctor Grump

BETTY BLISS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I describe CRUSHING as Blissfully over-cutesy. It is a SHE said, HE said romance novel with lines that make the reader think really.

Stacy owns a bookstore, and Blake is a heart surgeon—both quote children's books. They get together to promote a library for the hospital's children section by another doctor.

People of the small town think they are a couple because of the project. So, the two think it is wise to FAKE DATE - love is in the air.

This love feast is only interrupted by a problem Blake has. When all is done, a baby makes three.

Purchase for the fun prose and lovable dialog. https://amzn.to/49edTS1

BODY IN THE BOOKS

A Nora Jones Mystery

HEATHER HUFFMAN

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

Nora inherits a bookstore, a house, a dog, and much more from an uncle she never met. She drives from California to St. Augustine, Florida, to investigate her claim.

It is the "Much More" that presents her problems—her uncle is murdered, is friends with the mob, owns a ship, and has left her millions. While settling in, she meets various colorful characters, including a detective who sparks her interest and helps him solve the case.

The murderer in the case is closer than one would think and solves itself. There are a few twists and turns, but Nora can handle anything.

The dialogue throughout the novel is funny, and the greyhound dog knows how to control things. The read is quick and an excellent lead into a series.

BLOOD MONEY

BLOOD MONEY

PETER SCHWEIZER

Review by Author Roy

The composition of this non-fiction is so well-developed that the reader will come away thinking - Wow, I did not know that. And, most likely, the reader is correct.

I am well-read and knew many of Schweitzer's topics just by the headline theme. Thank you, MSM and the press, for the information.

According to detailed information by the author, China is attacking our young through social media (TikTok), the motion picture industry, and video games. Using cut-outs, China has already killed Americans with drugs (Fentanyl derivatives) and did control their information about the COVID-19 pandemic.

This propaganda war by the CCP is, in some respect, payback for the Opium Wars - Please look it up. And the CCP believes that the West's, especially America's, decadence will destroy the world.

Schweitzer's narrative includes how our leaders do not pressure China, knowing they are doing what they are doing. This is a mind-boggling financial circle.

This book is what readers, my followers, consider a book for the INQUISITIVE MIND. It is a must-read if you care about your children and grandchildren.
