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!
Quite fancy both of these but especially Havoc. Great name for a dog! 😁
ReplyDeleteIt is a great name for a dog...especially this one. :D
DeleteI've been curious about Finlay Donovan, so I thank you for sharing your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was smart and funny and entertaining.
DeleteI'll have to read the Findlay Donovan one!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good one. I think you'd like it.
DeleteLike 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for K9 reads, but I know they're not for everyone. :D
Delete"Finlay Donovan is Killing It" sounds good to me so I'll keep a look out for it. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you would like that one, Melody. :D
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteYes! And it reads really fast. And the characters made me laugh. :D
DeleteFinlay Donovan was already on my radar--I'll definitely have to check that out.
ReplyDeleteIt was really good. I'm looking forward to reading the next one now. :D
DeleteHavoc sounds fun, and I love the premise of the first one! And oh BTW Chinese food for Thanksgiving sounds awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteTwo 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.)
DeleteI can imagine! Now I want takeout :):):)
DeleteI have Finlay Donovan either on Kindle or Audible. I really need to put an APB out on it and move it up the list!
ReplyDeleteYou should. It's very fun and entertaining. :D
DeleteI keep meaning to try the Finlay Donovan series. Maybe in 2024?
ReplyDeleteIt's worth adding to your list. It's very clever and fun.
DeleteI've seen a lot of buzz for Finlay Donovan -- so glad you enjoyed it! It does sound like fun.
ReplyDeleteIt made me smile. :D
DeleteFinlay was a crack up! I need to read the 3rd book soon. Havoc sounds like my kind of read too! Glad to hear you had a nice Thanksgiving, Lark! I'm not ready for winter either! :)
ReplyDeleteI get why people go to warmer places for the winter; I wish I could do that sometimes. ;D
DeleteBoth sound good, glad you enjoyed them!! Have a great rest of your day!
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
DeleteI love when animals are part of the story.
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Especially rescue dogs.
DeleteFinlay Donovan has been on my TBR for years. Chinese food is our go to during the holidays when we don't want to cook. Never lets you down.
ReplyDeleteChinese food is the best! Thanks for commenting. :D
DeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed Havoc! It's a fun one! I really want to read Finlay Donovan is Killing It. It sounds so good! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it would make you laugh! :D
DeleteFinlay Donovan is calling my name. I've heard some more meh reviews about the later books but the first one sounds fantastic! Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
