Pelican Point by Irene Hannon

Being a fan of Irene Hannon's work led me to want to read the fourth book in her "Hope Harbor" series. I must admit, I read the first book in the series and loved it but I have yet to read book two and three in the series. I plan to rectify that very soon.

This story belongs to Dr. Ben Garrison. An Army doctor who has returned to Hope Harbor to bury his beloved grandfather Skip. Little did he know coming back to Hope Harbor would be the start of a new page in his life. He has just mustered out of the Army and upon arriving in Hope Harbor he finds he inherited the town's lighthouse that pretty much no one in the town wanted except for his grandfather. Ben's hope is to sell the lighthouse, but will he be successful?

The female lead in this story is newspaper owner, Marci Weber. She has lived in Hope Harbor for two years and she knew Ben's grandfather quite well. When she and Ben first meet it was not under the best of circumstances and they clashed, especially since Marci called the police on Ben claiming he was trespassing. They also have different opinions about what to do with the lighthouse which in time brings them closer together.

This book moves at a rather fast pace and I was totally drawn into the humor and the love for Skip, the lighthouse, and the town.

Pelican Point is filled with wonderful characters who will steal your heart as you go on this wonderful journey with them. Also, Charley, who owns the local Fish Taco stand is once again in this book. He was in the first book as well and I would love to have one of his tacos. But of course they only exist within the pages of Hope Harbor novels.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good clean romance.

On a 5 Star scale - 5 Stars!!!!!

Texas Ranger Showdown by Margaret Daley

"Stop Me"

She was taunted by a killer.

Margaret Daley's thrilling Lone Star Justice series continues, this time pitting radio therapist Dr. Caitlyn Rhodes against a methodical murderer. First, her patients are found dead, then the mocking phone calls start. The evidence is pointing Teas Ranger Ian Pierce to one conclusion: he must protect Caitlyfrom becoming this vicious killer's next victim...before he loses the woman he once loved--for good.

MY THOUGHTS:

One thing I can always count on when I pick up a book with Margaret Daley's name on the cover I will be entertained. Her newest novel, Texas Ranger Showdown, took me on a fast-paced adventure that kept me turning the pages faster and faster. 

Dr. Caitlyn Rhodes and Texas Ranger Ian Pierce found themselves racing against the clock to discover who was killing Caitlyn's patients and taunting her by 'asking' her to "Stop me". Just when I thought I might know what was going on I found myself going in another direction. Ms. Daley has created a serial killer thriller in which her characters will capture the reader's heart.

I would highly recommend picking up a copy of Texas Ranger Showdown especially if you love a fast-paced fiction read.
