Quick book recommendations...

 


Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimano

Now I get why so many people love this book. It's smart, fast-paced, and humorous. Plus there are some good twists. The whole premise of a romantic suspense writer being mistaken for a hit woman makes me laugh. And I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series. 








Havoc by Ronie Kendig

This book has action, suspense and a little romance. I liked that the female protagonist was an MMA fighter and stunt double; she had some serious fighting skills. And all the military moments with Crew Gatlin, along with his issues with his prosthetic leg and hisdog handling skills felt authentic. And, of course, I loved his Belgian Malinois, Havoc. This is an entertaining read. (A big thanks to Ashley @ The Rustic Reading Gal for recommending this one.)




Happy Reading!

  4. Like Deb and Harvee, the Finlay Donovan does interest me and I'm adding it to my (very long!) TBR list. But I think I'll give Havoc a miss.

  6. I have kindle unlimited so I just downloaded Finlay Donovan. I am in the mood for something humorous and fun. I notice it's first person narration and that can be enjoyable as well.

    1. Two thumbs up for the yummy Chinese food last Thursday. (And it was so much easier than defrosting, roasting, carving, and then figuring out the turkey leftovers.)

    1. If you like romantic suspense stories with dogs in them, you might really like Havoc. It's clean, and with a slight Christian message in it.

  14. I love when animals are part of the story.

  18. I've been putting off the Finlay Donovan series for some reason but glad to hear you liked it and may have to give it a go. Especially great to hear that it's got some good humor too! Havoc is not my typical read but who wouldn't want to read a book with a dog named Havoc!
