Christmas isn’t turning out the way Raine Stockton thought it would in Silent Night.
I’m really hoping there will be more Raine Stockton Dog Mysteries. Not only do I want to know what happens with Raine and Miles, I simply enjoy visiting her world. It’s fun playing with the dogs and getting into mischief. I want more, please!

In The Dark Highlander,
Until he meets Chloe Zanders. When she goes to his penthouse to deliver one of the borrowed texts, she finds he’s not home. Instead, she gets drawn in by all the antiquities he has and stumbles upon the stolen texts. When Dageus catches her, he has no choice but to keep her confined to his apartment until he finds what he needs. But all the texts he’s collected point to books that only exist in the Keltar library, meaning Dageus will need to return to his ancestral home of Scotland. Too curious for her own good, Chloe agrees to go with him, not knowing he intends to keep her whether she agrees or not. Because Dageus knows he’s found his true mate and finding a solution to his curse is more important now than ever before.
I really enjoyed Dageus and Chloe as much as I enjoyed Drustan and Gwen. Chloe is never afraid of him, but that could be more about not knowing what he really was or how the darkness possessed him. But in the end, that’s what he needed in a woman, one who accepted him for what he was. That’s why story like this resonate with us, because isn’t that what we all want? Reading about the MacKeltars has made me realize I’ll need to reread the MacKayla Lane Fever Series again at some point. Now that I know more about them, and met a young Christian, I’ll be more aware of their history this time around. I couldn’t appreciate that the first time around, but I’d like to.

I tend to forget how much I like a series until I read another book. Such is the case with Kiss of the Highlander,
Gwen Cassidy takes a trip to Scotland to change her life, but so far nothing is going right. She’s booked on a senior citizen tour bus and her hopes of finding a ‘cherry picker’ to lose her virginity to are looking slim. Then, while sunning herself on a rock in Loch Ness, her backpack falls into a crevice. When she tries to retrieve it, the ground gives way and she falls into a cave, right onto the most gorgeous man she’s ever seen. Drustan MacKelter has been sleeping for five hundred years, the victim of a gypsy spell. After being woken by Gwen, he’s determined to return to his family home and find out what’s become of the MacKelters. When they arrive at Kelter Castle, it’s in ruins. All that remains is the stone circle his family used to perform their druid rituals and fulfill the sacred pact they had with the fae.
Now, Drustan will take a dangerous risk to travel back in time and save his family line, not telling Gwen he plans to bring her with him. But a miscalculation will leave Gwen alone in the sixteen century with a Drustan who doesn’t know who she is or what they meant to each other. Will Gwen be reunited with the Drustan she loves or will their future ceased to exist because they changed the past?
I’m tempted to go right on and read the next book, The Dark Highlander,

Things are really getting interesting in the third Beaufort and Company Mystery, Avenging Angels.
Bree is hired by the widow, Tully O’Rourke, to look into her husband’s death. But what appears to be a normal case in the beginning turns into something far more ominous. The client she thought she had might actually be someone else, leaving Bree two different mysteries to solve.
This was another great installment in the series, though I do have to wonder if Bree will ever find time for the love life that keeps persuing her. Men keep asking her out, but she doesn’t seem to be able to make her dates. Not always out of her own fault, but still, you gotta wonder. Now I’ll need to pick up Angel’s Verdict.

There are a lot of old favorite characters making appearances in this book. There are babies being born, couples getting engaged and Sookie celebrating her birthday. But it all comes down to the final chapter and what happens will leave everyone reeling. That includes us, the reader. After this, I can’t wait to find out what’s going to happen next.
