Book Review: Striking by Terra Kelly

A full-length STANDALONE romantic suspense. 

Striking: A Fight It Out Novel Book 4
By: Terra Kelly

Blurb:

The man I married became a monster.

I was too afraid to run but more afraid to stay.

Then I met Malik, a retired MMA championship fighter with mesmerizing hazel eyes.

He kept me safe and hidden away from the life I knew.

I didn’t think I could ever feel again. I’d forgotten how to love. Then Malik showed me what life could be like without fear consuming me.

As each day passes, I realize we’re both in danger until we can rid our lives of the monster for good.

Maybe I should’ve stayed, but I want to survive.

Review:

Another great book from Terra Kelly. The plot revolves an all too frequent story of spousal abuse. The characters are realistic and believable. Malik and Jenny have great chemistry. Malik put his life on the line to protect Jenny. I highly recommend this book along with the other Fight It Out books. 

Book Review – Absolution

Absolution: A Leine Basso Thriller by D V Berkom

This absolutely is a great read. It is filled with intense, suspenseful, and unpredictable moments. A real page-turner. It keeps the reader guessing what is coming next. Leine and Salome are bitter enemies and have to keep one step ahead of the other in order to survive. Highly recommend this book and others in the series.

May 2018 Book Recommendation

Book: Sunset Flames (Baytown Boys)  by Maryann Jordan

I love the Baytown Boys. Baytown is a place I would love to live because the residents are always there to help when needed. The plot flowed and the characters were believable. Zac and Maddie have troubled backgrounds and this brings them together. You do not have to read the other books in the series to read this one.

Book: Deadly Melody  by Connie Mann

Connie Mann can weave a story. A well written story with suspense and intrigue. Two lost souls find each other and take a chance of a happily ever after. I received an advance copy, and I am giving my voluntary review.

Recommended Books

I have read two books this week that really stand out for me.

The first is Power Play by Maria Luis.  It is entertaining and funny at the beginning, but has its serious moments. The characters Charlie (Charlene) Denton and Duke Harrison really bond together in this book. Yes, they have their ups and downs. but I loved the book. Maria Luis knows how to bring her characters to life. I received an advance copy for a honest review. The book comes out April 13th.

The second is Forbidden Dance by Deanna Roy. A well written book. The female character, Livia, is a sheltered 21 year old that breaks out of her shell with the help of her male counterpart Blitz Craven (Benjamin). I reviewed it on Amazon and here is the link:

I would read any book written by these two authors again.
