Fox Hunt (Haven City Series #10) by Zoe Perdita

Review

5 Stars

What happens when you put a young fox shifter in the same house as a shifter hunter?   That’s a story.  But Zoe also adds that Edward the fox is 18, homeless, and looking after his little sister.  Now the story just got doubled in interest.  But just to add to the mix, Poor Edward survived an attack by a shifter hunter that not only killed his father but also cost Edward the ability to speak due to having silver in his throat. Which means he speaks via sign language and via his mobile phone. 

Max Hunts shifters that have killed humans, he does not have any issues with shifters that abide the law.  But he is in a minority of hunters. Max life is his hunting, he has no time for anything else.  Until Edward is caught up in the hunt for a fox assassin.  Having come face to face with the assassin, Max via his friends in the local police force persuade Edward to stay under Max’s protection with his sister.

Both must adapt to each other and learn to trust the other.  Whilst hunting the assassin who is a sly fox.

I adore Edward, his fearless attitude and determination to protect his sister at all costs.  He doesn’t complain about his lot in the world.  He just adapts and moves forward.  

Zoe has done a wonderful job with both characters and the plot certainly had me on the edge of my seat a few times.  In fact I am having trouble writing this review as I do not want to give too much away.

I really enjoyed this book, so much so that I went and bought the rest of the series.

An Unsuitable Heir by KJ Charles

Review

****

A good period Drama, must make the reader feel like they are right there in that time. And an Unsuitable Heir really does a great job of this. From the Brash men, to gentry, The foggy London streets. All the good ingredients for a story set in Victorian times.

This Novel has two very distinctive and very different main characters. With lots of mystery and angst.

We start where Pen a runaway trapeze artist, who is kind of hiding from his step family. Bumps into a man with one arm, on the fogy streets of London.

There is instant attraction between them. But unbeknown to Pen, Mark is a private investigator, who is in search of Pen and His twin sister.

Mark tries but fails to keep his attraction in check, as he feels it is unprofessional to fall for a person he has been hired to find.

Slowly Mark manages to convince Pen that he is A heir and rightfully a earl.

But Mark is not prepared for Pens disinterest in becoming an earl. Mark feels compelled to go against Pens wishes and Makes Pens status known. This does the opposite of what Mark intended and puts Pen and his sister in greater danger of a killer who has been trying to destroy evidence of Pens rightful title.

Mark now must hope Pen will forgive him, so he can protect him from the mysterious murderer. 

Eventually the killer is found, but does this mean Pen has to live a life he doesn’t want. Will he have to conform to what is expected of an Earl, is there any escape for Pen, and will he be able to trust Mark once more?

This is such a vivid read of a period in history that I love. The book has mystery, romance, hope, fear, loss, sadness, tension all mixed into a exciting and intriguing tale.

Raising Rachel By Jason Collins

Review

****

The book starts when the two main characters meet by coincidence at a coffee shop. Kyle is a school teacher and out of practice on the dating scene. Brad is the co owner of a fitness gym, Who is in over his head looking after his 17 year old niece while her mother is in rehab. There's is an instant attraction between them. And things progress quickly. Rachel takes a liking to Kyle and bonds with him when she finds out he has suffered at the hands of his mother too. But one mis calculation by Kyle threatens everything. The book also deals with a Troubled teenager, who is a little off the rails, though Kyle knows that the real Rachel is still there and needs nurturing to break free from all her problems and abusive mother. Thee underlying theme for me is that Family and parents are not always those who bring you into this world. But those who love us, Those who accept us as we are, and those who believe in us, even when we are at our darkest. Now you may think that this book is too dark and deep. But Jason has managed to keep the story light and often funny, without marginalizing Rachel's problems. A warm romance which is a pleasure to read. Goodreads   Amazon UK
