After a not so pleasant pairing with Jeremy in North Carolina and then a messed up visit at home in Ohio that involved a visit from Angel and Finlay and a big misunderstanding along with alot of hurt feelings.  So after Ohio is a bust, Morgan decides to move on to her next client.  His name is Rick and he is from Colorado.  But what Morgan doesn't know is that Rick has an 8 year old son.  Upon meeting Rick, Morgan finds out that he hired her for the week because he wants to find his son a Mother and thinks having her around for a week might get him used to the idea of having a woman around.  Once again, the Ratliff women do not fail to deliver!  They give us an amazing story filled with mystery, drama, suspense, humor and some hot-as-hell sex scenes!  You'd think that after 39 books in this series, things would get old or repetitious, but I have not lost interest or been bored with one yet!  And they never fail to leave you looking forward to reading about Morgan's next adventure when she heads to Greece!

HER LAST GOODBYE (Morgan Dane #2) by Melinda Leigh has me very excited for this series! I loved this book even more than the first in this new series and I gave Book #1 a five star review. I love when I think I have figured out the ending and the author still has another twist in store for me that surprises me once again.
Morgan Dane and Lance Kruger are on the case of a young mother of two who has disappeared. Morgan feels Chelsea Clark would never have left her small children even though the sheriff believes she just walked away or the husband is responsible and the prime suspect. For Lance, this case brings up all of his memories of the disappearance of his own father many years ago.
As Morgan works the case, she becomes the focus of the violent predator and her children and grandfather are put at risk. Morgan and Lance will do anything, even bend the law, to protect those they love and catch the predator.
This is a fast paced and easy to read book that kept me turning the pages. The plot twists and turns so that even when I believed I had the case solved there was still more to come. Morgan and Lance are so realistically written that I feel I could walk right into their office. The secondary characters; grandpa, Morgans girls and extended family, Sharp and Lances mother are all great additions that add the true to life feel and dialogue to these books. I was also very happy that Morgan and Lance finally got their Lets Get It On scene. Oh, yeah!
Another series to add to my must read list!
Thanks very much to Montlake Romance and Net Galley for allowing me to read this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, I am very sadden that this is the end to the Morgan Kingsley series, but The Devil's Playground is another amazing read from a great writer.  I simply could not put this book down.  I am going to miss the world of Morgan Kingsley, but just knowing there are a few opportunities available has given me a little hope.  Regardless of it being the end, Black shows us her masterful skill with continuing to develop the fascinating character that is Morgan and all of her cohorts.  That is the one thing I love about this series, it's not just about her, it's hard not to love all of her allies.

I read the first one of the series in one sitting and this one didn't take much longer! The only reason I couldn't finish this one as quickly was simply because I am a mom who had to do my mom duty but, as much as I love my family, it was so hard for me to have to stop reading this! I'm so connected to the characters that I immediately went to try to find the next novel because I am desperate to read what happens next! My only complaint is that the next novel, "Dying to Return", is not already available! Trish Marie Dawson, I have to know what happens next! This is such a well written and wonderfully vivid series and I absolutely can not get enough!

First off let me say that if you haven't read the Vampire Journals series by Morgan Rice, you might want to before you start the Vampire Legacy series.  Resurrected begins the spin-off series Vampire Legacy that came from Vampire Journals.  However, Morgan Rice does a wonderful job at giving you the need-to-know information throughout Resurrected, if you choose not to read the Vampire Journals series first.

In Resurrected Morgan Rice starts out the book with it being Scarlet's 16th birthday.  Her parents Caitlin and Caleb are thrilled to be hosting a surprise party for Scarlet, where Caitlin would hand down a necklace that had been in the family for generations.  However, that was the last "normal" day any of them would have again. When Caitlin can't fall asleep she remembers the stack of old books her grandmother had given her years before.  She heads up to the attic to find them, but Caitlin wishes she never would have.  In that stack Caitlin finds her Vampire Journal.  The problem is Caitlin cannot remember any of her time as a vampire.  She is confused if it is real or not, why wouldn't she remember being a vampire, and are there really vampires?  All of these questions and more start unraveling Caitlin, and when she seeks answers from a friend, Scarlet is struck ill.  Caitlin arrives home to find Caleb sitting with Scarlet and then their world turns upside down.  Between Scarlet throwing Caleb across the room hard enough to leave his imprint in the drywall and her just disappearing, Caitlin and Caleb aren't sure what to do.  Caitlin realizes that Scarlet is becoming a vampire, but Caleb doesn't believe her.  Poor Scarlet is still suffering through regular day to day teen drama, but on top of it is dealing with "the change" even though she has no idea what she is becoming.

I love the way Morgan Rice writes her books.  Even though they are written in the third person, I still feel that I can create a great mental picture of the scenes.  They are very fast paced and something is happening.  This is the kind of book you think you will start at bedtime, only to find out that you didn't sleep and read the entire thing in one sitting!!  Look for my book review on Craved, book #2 in the Vampire Legacy series, where we are introduced to Sage and poor Scarlet is being accused of having a drug problem.  Poor confused parents :)

"A Dollar outta 15 Cent Part 2" was wonderful!!! All I can say is "wow" after finishing this book!
Portia is back and it  is a few years later. Things seems to be going good in her life, and the life of her girls Laila and Fatima. Cas, Wise and Jay are baaaaaaaaalin' outta control with Street Life Ent. Laila is doing well for herself. And Fatima and Portia have their own little publishing company. But one crazy dramatic event after the other pops up in their lives. Portia and Jay are married, Fatima and Wise are married. and Cas and Laila are married...just not to each other.
Cheating men, scandalous acquaintenances, hot sex, heartbreak, pain,lawsuits, murders, and life changing situations fill the pages of this sequel.
This book is defintely a rollercoaster ride, but it was well written. the ending left me hanging!!! I hope there is a part 3!!!

Morgan does it again with a great story, interesting character and more twists and spins then a hurricane.  A very enjoyable series I am looking forward to, only down side is I have to wait for the series to be completed.  Other than that, it is awesome.

Another fabulous installment of this series. This time, Didier is the one in trouble, and the girls are trying to help keep him from being charged with murder. The action starts on the very first page, and it continues to the very end!

All the usual family and friends are present, providing us with humorous incidents and secondary plots. Mac always makes me smile!

Madison is still growing and maturing through each book. It's good to see her think things through and be less reckless than when the series began.  And the relationships between the girls and their men also continue to grow and strengthen.

The ending of this book has me anxiously awaiting the release of #9!!

I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.

I was given this book as an ARC for an honest review.

This is a stand alone series.
and is the first book that I have read by Morgan.
I gave this book 5 stars.

This book will take you by surprise. First off it is written by a male and that in itself is a big deal. There are not many indie writers out there that are male. And it was great to read a story from a guys POV.

Morgan has been married for 12 years and one day his wife packs up her and her daughter Evelyn's things and moves out. She is unhappy.
Morgan doesn't see this coming, to him he was happy.
And the only way he deals with this is to write an indie book.
He does pretty good and even gets a fan that sends him her underwear to prove it.
And once his "Princess Whore" of a wife sees that he is doing well she decides that she wants to do counseling.
Morgan is confused and really doesn't know what he wants.
He does counseling with her, but is back and forth on whether he wants this to work or not.
Join him on his journey as he learns what love is really about, how life can give you one thing and you end up with another. Morgan learns who he really is and how to be really happy.
I think this is a book more about learning to deal with life's circumstances and being happy with what you do with it, than it is about love. Morgan becomes fast friends with his new fan.
Her name is Emma and she lives far away from him, but they become pen pals and she helps him sort through his mess of a life and gives him good advice.
She is in a bad marriage with a man who ignores her, but she is true to her vows and wants to stay faithful to her husband.
Morgan falls for her before he even realizes that he has.
What will happen when his life finally starts to come together ?
Will there be room for another woman in his life?
Or will Morgan finally do things on his own?

The Author did a great job at pulling me into this story. It felt like I was right there with him and it wasn't just a story he was telling it was his life. The things that happened to him, were things that could happen to any of us. The way he handles it is the same. I found myself laughing at the weird and quirky things that he does. He learns to live his life the best way he knows how and to be satisfied. And isn't that what we all want. This was not a story that took me to a far off place and said things that never could have happened. I really related to this story and felt Morgan's pain. Marriage takes two, and although I hated his Princess Whore of a wife, I get why she left. And I think in the end Morgan realizes why too. And that's what the story is all about, learning to see the mistakes you made and making sure you don't do them again.

Thank you Morgan for your wonderful story, I was so engrossed in it. I hated to see it end. But when it did. I was happy with the ending. I don't think you could have ended it any other way. I look forward to reading more from you in the future.

I absolutely love the writing that both of these ladies share in this book and other books as well.  They each are so relatable, and I feel like I can make so many personal connections with them and their writing.  Thank you for another wonderful book ladies!  It's a book that I could ready many times and feel so nourished as a woman and a mom.  I hope there are many more books to come :)

I love Morgan's series so much that I emailed him after Book 7 to find out when the next one is coming!  I am sharing it with my son who loves fantasy like Terry Brooks, Tolkien and others.  I strongly recommend this book and can't wait for Book #10.

I really loved this book! Kathy Morgan is a wonderful author, and I'm adding her to my personal favorites, joining Sherrilyn Kenyon, Karen Marie Moning, and a few others. Please, keep the great plot lines and stories that are mixed with tons of fact, and great fictional characters, coming!
