Ready for a book that is a race from page one to the end? Then you need to read the latest from best-selling author Lynette Eason. The pages race from a life flight that crashes in the North Carolina mountains to a race against time against a serial killer. Laced throughout are enough additional plot lines to keep the characters racing to figure out how to stay one step ahead. Layer in a blossoming romance, and this book has all the ingredients for a story I could not put down. I highly recommend Life Flight for those who love romantic suspense with enough twists to keep the most astute reader guessing.
The last book I wanted to share today is Lights Out by Natalie Walters. Readers who pick up Lights Out should prepare for a book that will keep them turning pages long past their personal lights out. It is a compelling story of international intrigue and implications. It’s also a story of second chances if the hero and heroine are willing to embrace them. This novel will satisfy readers who love romantic suspense with threads of thrilling international intrigue. I highly recommend it. (Natalie Walters joined me for Book Talk here.)
A bonus book that I loved
and am giving away a copy of courtesy of the author is Toni Shiloh’s next book In Search of a Prince. Princess diaries blends with Wakanda in this sweet Romance with international flavor. Bri discovers that she’s not who she thought — she’s much more. Before she can settle into the new identity she has to decide whether to release her old life to step into the new. This novel will warm the heart of every woman who wonders what it would be like to be a princess…while understanding our true identity comes from within. I very much enjoyed it. (Toni joined me on Season One of Book Talk, and will be back as my guest on Monday, February 14. Yep, Valentine’s Day!)
If you’re looking for a book to read, you can’t go wrong with any of these.

Lights Out was phenomenal! I’m so looking forward to the rest of that series. I’m listening to Proposing Mischief right now. I had to pause it at the wrestling scene to catch my breath from laughing so hard. LOL My goodness, books that make me laugh out loud like that are the best. I just listened to Laurel’s Dream by Pepper Basham. Wow… the narrator brought Laurel to life in a way I’d never imagined possible (I’d read the book a couple of times). Fabulous listen for those who enjoy audiobooks.
I so enjoyed both books.
Just finished SUNRISE by Susan May Warren and LOVED it.
I’ve started it but can’t wait to have time to absorb it.
The last books that made the biggest impression on me were The Forest of Vanishing Stars and The Book of Last Names, both by Kristin Harmel. Thanks for the chance to win a prize.
It’s funny to me that when I started reading Mountain Laurel by Lori Benton I thought I wouldn’t like the book. Instead I loved it! I had a hard time putting it down to sleep at night. Next is Shiloh and I can’t wait to start it!
I just finished All that Really Matters by Nicole Deese, so good. Now I’m looking forward to her next book which continues the story of some of the minor characters from this book.
I checked out “Proposing Mischief” from my local public library yesterday and looking forward to reading it.
For those new to the “Joplin Chronicles” series, I recommend reading “Intrigue a la Mode” in the “Serving Up Love” novella collection to start. In this short story, Willow Kentworth helps a fellow Harvey House employee solve a mystery along the rails. She’s the first of the Kentworth family who readers will meet. Willow appears in “Courting Misfortunate” when she returns to Joplin.
