"Deathwatch" (Broslin Creek #1) By Dana Marton and Narrated by Talmadge Ragan - Audio Book Review

Deathwatch (Broslin Creek #1)

(Audible Narrated by Talmadge Ragan)

BY  Dana Marton

Overview:

As the only person who can identify the most notorious hit man in the country, Kat Bridges is running for her life.

Murphy Dolan is in the Army Reserves, returning from his 2nd tour of duty, only to find a stranger hiding in his house. She's scared spitless. He's completely burned-out on violence. Neither of them has any trust left to give.

If the best of the FBI couldn't protect her from the country’s most notorious assassin, does a burned-out small town cop have a prayer?

My Review:

This is my first read or should I say listen… of one of Author Dana Marton’s books and I absolutely loved the premise of the story.  I was captivated by the suspense through the story.  Also, this is the first audio that was narrated by Talmadge Ragan.  Her narration added to the story in my opinion.  I really enjoyed reading this story and looking forward to listening or reading the rest of the Broslin Creek book series and other books by Dana Marton.

"A Family for Christmas" (Willow Park #3) By Noelle Adams - Review

A Family for Christmas

(Willow Park #3)

BY  Noelle Adams

Overview:

For years, Lydia has dreamed of overseas mission work, the way some women dream of getting married. How ironic that she needs a husband to finally make it happen. She's always been practical, however—even if it means a marriage-of-convenience so she can finally do the work she’s called to do. Gabe needs a wife at exactly the right time. Plus, he’s kind of hot.

After a spectacularly failed marriage, Gabe isn't looking for a wife. He and his nine-year-old daughter are doing just fine on their own. But he's happy to negotiate a practical arrangement with Lydia in order to move into a new and more rewarding job. After all, a marriage like theirs won't end up changing his life very much.

They both have their priorities, and marriage just isn't one of them. But their carefully planned relationship doesn't exactly go as planned...

My Review:

This is my first book that I have read of author Noelle Adams and I was intrigued by the story!  I could relate to Lydia character ambitions, as her character is similar to myself in more than one aspect.  I absolutely enjoyed reading this book and I hated when I had to set it down because I wanted to finish it so I knew what was going to happen next and how the book ended.  I like the dynamics between the main characters (Lydia, Gabe, and Ellie).I thought the secondary characters added to the storyline and made it close to reality.  I enjoyed this book so much I am looking forward to reading other books by Noelle Adams as well from this series.  If you haven’t ready Noelle Adams books or the Willow Park series go and get one of her books you will enjoy it!

"Love At First Date" (Better Date the Never Series, Book #1) By Susan Hatler and Narrated by Martha Lee - Audio Book Review

Love at First Date

(Better Date Then Never Series, Book #1)

(Audible Narrated by Martha Lee)

BY  Susan Hatler

Overview:

Ellen may not believe in storybook love, but it’s about to rewrite her life . . .

Ellen’s figured out that finding the right guy is all about compatibility. That’s why she signs up for Detailed Dating—the local online dating scene in Sacramento. They ask men the hard questions, compare their answers with hers, then she filters through the profiles of each provided “match.” After numerous email exchanges, she narrows it down to two promising candidates she’s excited to meet in person.

When Ellen’s best friend asks her for a favor, dog-sitting leads to disaster and Ellen ends up at the local vet where she meets a man she can’t get out of her mind. Henry isn’t a logical choice, but she finds herself paying for dog obedience class to spend more time with him.

Ellen knows that in order to have a lasting relationship, she should take the safe route and go for one of the pre-screened guys. But, how can she think with her head when her heart keeps begging her to give Henry a chance?

My Review:

I received the Audible of “Love at First Date” by Susan Hatler and Narrated by Martha Lee.  I enjoyed the narration by Martha Lee, she made it easy to follow along and used differentiated tones for each of the characters.  The author Susan Hatler did an amazing job with this book, it had me laughing at Chester antics and wondering who Ellen would select as her “Compatible” match.  I could relate to some of the dating challenges that Ellen faced and how others relationships may have an impact on a person choices for their own relationships.  I absolutely loved this story and will be looking for other books by Susan Hatler.

"The Single Daddy Club: Derrick" (The Single Daddy Club #1) By Donna Fasano - Review

The Single Daddy Club: Derrick

(The Single Daddy Club #1)

BY  Donna Fasano

Overview:

The Single Dad:
Ex-military man Derrick Richmond. Solitary and satisfied…until little Timmy was dropped into his lap and Derrick had to learn to be somebody's daddy.

The Single Woman:
Schoolteacher Anna Maxwell. Fate might have denied her a family of her own, but Anna still had plenty of love to give, if only someone would notice.

The Solution:
Anna would teach Derrick all he needed to know about kids. Father and son would give Anna some precious memories. Then the schoolteacher and the single dad would go their separate ways. Unless one little boy figured out a way to make Miss Maxwell become his mom!

My Review:

This is my first book that I have read of author Donna Fasano and I was captivated by the story line!  I loved the main character and how they were developed through the story.  It was like I was looking into a window watching the story unfold.  It was like viewing a real life journey of a man learning to be a father … a single father at that and in the process of trial and error true love is found.  I enjoyed this book and looking forward to reading the other books in the series to find out what happens to the main characters and find out the story of the other supporting characters who are single fathers as well.
