Elysium Tide by James R. Hannibal review

 Title:  Elysium Tide

 Author:  James R. Hannibal

Ch: 69

Pg:  344

Genre:  Christian Suspense

Rating: 4.5 stars 

Publisher: Revell

 

While I didn’t love Elysium Tide as much as I did the first book, I read by James R Hannibal but I did enjoy this one I loved the Hawaiian setting. And the partnership between a doctor and detective though reluctant. It was a neat twist to the how suspense novel.

Plus, the banter between Peter Chesterfield the doctor and Detective Lisa Kealoha was prefect and only added to the story. The mystery and the suspense as well as the pace of the story kept me turning pages. I would have finished it in one night if I didn’t need sleep.

Can’t wait to pick up the next one by James R. Hannibal.

The Fake Date by Jess Mastorakos review

Title:  The Fake Date

Author:  Jess Mastorakos

Ch: 26 Plus Epilogue

Pg:  382

Series: The Brides of Beaufort book 4

Genre:  Rom Com romance

Rating: 5 stars

Publisher: Self

     The Fake Date by Jess Mastorakos is the 4th book in The Brides of Beaufort series, and I have to say it’s my favorite of the series so far. And it’s in my top 3 of her books. Lyndi Robinson is my favorite heroine because I have to say it’s nice to see a nerdy bookworm. She reminded me quite a bit of me.


Beau Devereux however is indeed my favorite hero. What’s not to love about a Marine hero from Louisiana. I mean what’s not to love about a guy who has the kindle app on his phone. Which to me makes him Jess’s swooniest hero.

I also loved Beau’s dad as a character because he reminded me so much of my own dad. Especially his relationship with Beau’s mom.

This one leans more to the rom com genre than previous books in the series. But for this one it works as the heroines a bookworm who loves her book tropes. And even though I’ve never seen Top Gun I did get the references to the movie in the book and thinks it adds to the story. Can’t Wait for the next book in the series.
