When Bruce Met Cyn

When Bruce Met Cyn by Lori Foster

Amazon Description:

“Bruce Kelly has spent most of his life helping people who are down on their luck, guiding them toward making better lives. Compassionate and kind, Bruce understands that everyone makes mistakes, even if he's never actually done anything but color inside the lines. Nobody's perfect, but Bruce is about to meet a woman who's perfect for him. He's determined to show her that he can be trusted. And if that means proving it by being the absolute gentleman at all times, then so be it. No matter how many cold showers it takes. . .
Cyn Potter is a survivor, with a sassy, gallows wit and a fierce independent streak to show for it. She's used to men wanting only one thing, and this girl is no longer taking applications from big bad wolves in sheep's clothing, thank you very much, drive through please and keep on going. But Bruce Kelly is actually different. Totally hands off. Sometimes she can see a hint of fire when he looks at her, but the guy treats her with the respect she's always wanted. Maybe too much respect, because truthfully? The guy is fine. Worth taking down a few defenses for. . .and a few other things. And maybe somebody needs to help Bruce start over and discover just how perfect being imperfect can be. . .”

My Thoughts:
 
This was a typical, easy to read romance. Not bad…not Earth shattering.

No One to Trust

No One To Trust by Iris Johansen

I love, love, LOVE Johansen’s Eve Duncan series. Sean Galen has been one of my favorite characters along the way, and here he gets his own story!!

You could read this as stand alone book, if you don’t like to do series.

Complex characters, emotion, suspense…it’s all here.

Portrait in Death

Portrait in Death—J.D. Robb

Amazon Description:

“After a tip from a reporter, Eve Dallas finds the body of a young woman in a Delancey street dumpster. Just hours before, the news station had mysteriously received a portfolio of professional portraits of the woman. The photos seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary for any pretty young woman starting a modeling career. Except that she wasn't a model. And that these photos were taken after she had been murdered. Now Dallas is on the trail of a killer who's a perfectionist and an artist. He carefully observes and records his victim's every move. And he has a mission: to own every beautiful young woman's innocence, to capture her youth and vitality—in one fateful shot...”

My Thoughts:

Book 16 of the series and I still love it. I have become attached to these characters! I think this series should be a TV series…I would definitely watch.

Do you like crime/police/detective novels? Try this series! First book is “Naked in Death.”
