Baggage Claim, by Amanda Tru

DESCRIPTION:

Montana native, Rachel Saunders, is looking forward to her all-expense paid weekend trip to New York. But, when her luggage is lost and she is accosted by an infuriating Homeland Security agent named Dawson Tate, events take a dangerous turn. Now, can she and Dawson elude their enemies and prevent a terrorist attack before the bomb in their possession is detonated in the center of Manhattan--all while keeping their obvious attraction to one another in check? Find out in this Romantic Thriller.

MY TAKE:

Not my usual choice of book, but I'm glad I read this! In fact, once I started reading, I couldn't stop until I found out what happened next...can't wait for the next book. 

And that Dawson...great job of character development, Amanda Tru! Dawson Tate is the exact type of man I like in a hero. Forceful, yet gentle. 

Well thought-out plot, and a clean romance. I laughed, I gasped, and even had several "awwww" moments when I read this. What more could you want in a book? 

I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy romantic thrillers, and even if it's not your usual type...give it a try. I'm glad I did.

Electronic Crime in Muted Key by Nick Wastnage

Description:


Enter the enigmatic world of Barry Carter; a man who lives two lives and believes his sinister plan to scam millions and fake his death is foolproof. He’s right, until his bitter lover and distraught wife team up to seek him out. They want retribution but are stopped by the police, who’ve found Carter first and want to question him about a murder, a stolen dead body and an international cyber crime. A frantic chase ensues and there can be only one winner.


My take:


This is a very fast paced, well written novel by a veteran writer. As a story-teller, Nick Wastnage has the unique ability to make the fictional feel and appear real.  The story never lets up as you are taken through the devious twists and turns of a plot hatched by Barry Carter, a man of double lives. As so often happens a simple plot turns out to be just the opposite and Wastnage weaves the threads together through the lives of various miscreants with the subtle hand of a pro.  


Verdict: READ IT!
