I was given this book for an honest review.  Enjoyed this third book as much as the first two.  This author makes his books exciting, holding your interest.  I find myself not wanting to put the book down to do household things!  Mason Black is a likable tough guy with a heart.  Recommend this book.

AT Dusk

I am one of John Meffords advanced readers. Although I received a free copy prior to publication, I bought my own as soon as it became available. Why? Because I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

AT Dusk, the fifth of John Meffords Alex Troutt series, is another must read book. Like all the others in this series, it is very readable by itself. I highly recommend getting the earlier books because you will find it so much more satisfying if read in conjunction with the others in this series. Alex Troutt is a kick ass female FBI agent. She is as tenacious as a wolverine, while still maintaining a strong sense of humor and a surprisingly soft side as a single mother.

This episode in Alex Troutts life reminds me of an episode of Criminal Minds.  it's more like watching a movie or tv show and not just reading a book.

John quickly develop his characters. Even casual characters are more than cardboard cutouts. He deftly weaves his tale, presenting situations and locations so real, you find yourself immersed in the storyline, caring about the characters as if you know them personally.

If you enjoy a well crafted story with realistic players and locales, you simply cannot go wrong with any of Mr. Meffords tales. Buy yourself a copy of AT Dusk... you will not regret it.

Do not read this book if you are already feeling a bit down about the human race.  Though not my favorite of Adam's books, as always he weaves an incredible story filled with fascinating characters and incredible imagery.  The images in this book are not for the faint hearted, but by no means are needless additions just to scare you.  I would recommend any of Adam's books to readers that appreciate a quality horror story that is very imaginative and intelligent.

A solid 4 star read...told from Adam's POV, this book gives a gripping depiction of the challenges Adam faces in loving Juliette but also protecting James...I found his perceptions of Juliette to be interesting...he sees her as somewhat of a weakness or a liability, whereas Warner sees strength and determination...Adam is always one to protect others, and he desires that role with Juliette, but does she need that from him?...it will be intriguing to see how this story concludes, the sacrifices made, and the end results once truths are revealed.

I really enjoyed this book. Adam is a great author keeping his reader engaged in the story and characters. Although I did figure out some of the ending I did not see all the connections!

If you're looking for a strong couple of alpha males separated by about 10 years of age, you probably will not find too many ones better than 39-year-old Luke and 26-year-old Dominic, the latter a nasty hangover for many readers of the first book in the series, "Strong Signal."

Here author Erickson takes Dominic Costigan away from his army hook-up buddy Garrett and throws him back home to Staten Island, where he is surrounded by an off-kilter family which is truly perfectly drawn for the ethnic mixture (Irish-Italian) and neighborhood (middle class). This credibility factor goes a long way in making this book not only realistically acceptable but also tremendously enjoyable.

As for Luke, this well-divorced man who is also an army vet from a different era lends credence to his demons by keeping tight hold on his twin teenagers as well as dealing with his sexual appetite on Grindr. That's where he and Dominic, new to the gay scene, meet, and from there this is a slam-bang, thank-you-man romp through fun and angst and warmth and hurt that will grab you here and throw you for a loop or two there.

The sub characters are superbly drawn as well--Dominic's parents and his hyper younger sister Adriana are very credible even if Luke, his ex-wife Nadia and his twins Micah and Chelle are a bit too perfect. There is a very, very subtle and almost buried note about Nadia that you might miss early on that pops up later when Micah is described, but it only adds to the melting pot all these characters have been tossed into.

There are a couple of "oh, please," parts here but no mistakes. What you get is a good character in Luke, and a superior one in Dominic, whose life is as complicated as it can get, and as based in the reality of his environment as one would expect.

Yet another fantastic novel by this outstanding Australian author! I loved the first two books in the series but I have to say book 3, "Escape", is probably my favourite so far.

True to form, Baillie has kept up the pace of the first two novels. There's something about this quick pace that just builds momentum and makes it hard to put the book down. As always, the characters and their relationships are a focal point and I love the sense of community that is developing. This book also further expands on the virus and it's impact on the infected, the changes they are going through, all of which adds an interesting layer to the story. I also love the way the book is structured. It's essentially divided into three interconnecting story-lines, each with their own set of characters, and the result of this kind of structure is some "mini" cliffhangers during the course of the book. And whilst we're on the subject of cliffhangers ... what a finish this book has! It definitely leaves you desperately wanting to know what happens next!

A Glitch in the System is a well crafted thriller. And I would imagine that fans of this genre will love sinking their teeth into this one! This is my first time reading this author and I must say I was very impressed.

The story had every element a good story should have. An exciting plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. Theres an abundance of well illustrated scenes that really make you feel like you are right there in the story, and that's something I really look for in a good book.

This captivating and commendable work had me immersed from the beginning. The story flows from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional skill when it comes to storytelling.  There are twists and turns in this page turner that will take the reader on a gripping journey!

Its one of those stories that come along once in awhile that makes you want to read it non-stop until you get to the end. Im giving nothing further away here. And this, I hope, will only add to the mystery and enjoyment for the reader!

Ill certainly be looking forward to reading more from Adam Aust in the future! I would definitely recommend this book! Five stars from me.

I thoroughly enjoyed Adam and Shannon's story.  Irish Winters is one of my favorite author's and her books are automatic pre-order.  I recommend reading her books in order for maximum enjoyment.

I've read several of MHC's books before, and this one did not disappoint. Twists, turns, and a great ending. The characters were all very well developed, and you even develop a type of sympathy for Adam, even though he's a bit of a bastard. I do recommend this book, and it will keep its place on my bookshelf.

I'm constantly on the look out for British police procedural novels and while many disappoint, this one held my interest from the beginning and I like the main players.  The only downside to this first novel is its predictability.  I knew who the bad guy was right off the bat, but with the thought that I "could possibly be" mistaken, and the fact I was enjoying the ride, I continued reading on to the end.  I'm now into the third book of this series, having totally enjoyed the second, "Head In The Sand."  Damien Boyd writes a good story driven yarn without burdening the reader with tons of extraneous "stuff."  He gets a big thumbs up from this reader!

Adams Tiger is the third of author Lawrence Lapins Adam chronicles. Ive not read the earlier two, but theres plenty of background information provided as Adam explains his past, so readers and new characters can catch up. This is a future world, where a meteor has destroyed life on earth. After five-hundred years, the human race repopulates the planet, while frozen embryos, skewed by the deliberate application of radiation, then mixed and matched by clever genetic engineering, are being used to balance natures tooth and claw.

For complex reasons, complexly explained, Adam wants to bring back the creatures of the past. He is a singularly long-lived survivor of the original disaster, but he doesnt pass on his strange genes too readily, since mankind is clearly not ready for immortality. Still, Adam himself is well-armed with skills and knowledge to play god. All he needs is the right measure of influence, and after five-hundred years, he knows well how to win friends and change peoples minds.

Science, nature, society and more prove surprisingly malleable in this tale. The writing combines passages of exciting story-telling with lengthy exposition. Lessons in science and sociology abound. Romance is fast and happy. And religion is relegated to unimportance since its so hard to imagine how any single being could have created the world by intelligent design. Meanwhile Adam designs and plans, in a weighty mix of Noahs ark and Creation, while language evolves so far and so fast that no one can read the original Shakespeare anymore.

There are occasional typos, and the dialogs occasionally stilted as it tries to pack so much in. But the concept is certainly intriguing and I do like the hairy people.

Disclosure: I was given a free ecopy and I offer my honest review.

4.5*  Review written for Love Bytes Reviews.

Im fairly certain I say this with every new book I read in this series but really, this series just keeps getting better! Id been hoping that Adam Taggart would get a book of his own eventually and this one certainly didn't disappoint. I think I remember seeing Landon as a cameo character at one point but I cant tell you how pleased I was to officially make his acquaintance as well; both men were about as different as can be aside from a love of horses and some mutual friends but they just worked so beautifully together.

Adam is a bit of a sl**; he totally admits it, but regardless of the number of bed partners hes had, hes a good man that believes in taking care with the men hes with and his professional demeanor is much the same. When he meets Landon, he wants the other man but feels the Cajun is too young so he pushes him away for his own good. Not one to be deterred, Landon doesnt give up and eventually gets his man; what follows is both passionate and damn near perfectuntil Adams brother and his inability to stick up for his man loses him the one thing Adam didn't know he couldn't live without: Landon.

I love this series. Just, flat out Love It. Each story builds on the previous books while giving me new characters to meet and fall in love with. Landon may not have come from the best background, and he may not have a ton of money, but he was probably one of the hardest working guys in the series that Ive come across. His refusal to apologize for his upbringing and his pride in his heritage was one of my favorite parts of the bookright up there with him telling Adam what for. Lol

If you enjoy cowboys or anything involving the rodeo, you have got to read this series; while the books do need to be read in order, they are all totally good and you won't regret any one of them. I will admit to being curious about what was up with Bri during the book, and while Im not sure when Ill find that out, I totally plan on enjoying the other books along the way. :D

I've been hooked to the This Can't Be Happening series from the very first book when we met Landyn and Lexi and every book has been amazing so far.

But Lynda LeeAnne hit it out of the park with her latest in the series, Adam, Enough Said. This book really showcases this Lynda's growth as an author and a story teller. I've been waiting anxiously for Adam's story since the very beginning and she DID NOT disappoint.

She not only did Adam's story justice, but she also introduced us to one of my favorite lead female characters of 2013. If Adam himself didn't already make this story amazing then Mia did.

If there's one thing I love more than a strong hero it's an even stronger heroine... Thank you Lynda, for writing a female that doesn't have a weak bone in her body!
