Eagle Rock: An Ashe Cayne Novel : Ian K. Smith

 



4 out of 5 books


Private eye Ashe Cayne is back to solve a gripping case. Chicago billionaire Elliott Kantor led a tight schedule and did everything by the book. But when Kantor ends up dead under strange circumstances, his son Simon hires Ashe to find out what happened. But as Ashe dives deeper into Kantor’s death, he enters into a dark and seedy world of sex trafficking among other things. Will Ashe solve this case or will this be his last?


When a mystery book starts out with a murder right away, you know that you are in for a good story. That’s just what you will find with Eagle Rock by Ian K. Smith. Smith pulls you into the story from the first page and doesn’t let you go until the end. While reading the story, you feel as if you are investigating the case along with Ashe. Smith brings us a twisted, dark, story about murder and sex that is not easy to figure out until the end. Eagle Rock is a part of the Ashe Cayne series but you don’t have to read the prior books to read this one. Eagle Rock is perfect for anyone who loves a good mystery and suspense novel.

New Review : False Idols: A Reluctant King Novel : K'wan

 



4 out of 5 books

Chaos and disorder ensues on New York City streets when Chancellor King is arrested and his eldest son Ghost is murdered. Chancellor’s brother Chapman conveniently takes an opportunity to take over the crown in the King family. But he’s stepping on the toes of his nephew Shadow to do it. The queen of the King family Maureen now has the task of keeping the family together the best way she can. She puts her hope into her son Shadow but is he ready?


Murder, deceit, and mayhem is what you find in False Idols. K’wan once again brings us into the world of the King dynasty. This book has a lot of layers and is not your typical sequel. There are a lot of players that are woven into this story that readers need to pay attention to. It seems as if every character has an ulterior motive which makes for a dangerous and intriguing plot. You have a distinct feeling that this story is far from over. Once again, K’wan does not disappoint with False Idols.

New Review : Curvy Girl Summer : Danielle Allen

 




4 out of 5 books



Aaliyah James is single and is ready to find the one. Her family is worried that she will never find love since she’s almost 30. Aaliyah is on a mission to find the perfect date and boyfriend for her 30th birthday celebration. But the party is only seven weeks away. With the urging of a local bartender named Ahmad Williamson that consoled her after her first failed blind date, Aaliyah tries an online dating app. Will she find the man of her dreams online?


Curvy Girl Summer takes us into the rough waters of the dating scene. Aaliyah James is a confident, sexy, curvaceous woman who knows what she does and doesn’t want from a man. Bravo to Danielle Allen for not brining us a stereotypical plus size woman character. Also, her weight is not the main topic of the story which is refreshing. Allen is spot on with how the current dating scene is no matter what age you are. This story wouldn’t be complete without some sexy scenes thrown into the mix. Curvy Girl Summer is a sexy and fun read by Danielle Allen.
