Never Miss by Melissa Koslin

 

Former CIA Sniper Kadance Tolle happens to be in the right place at the right time to save Lyndon Vaile's life. At the same time she comes from a family of assassins and is on the run from them. After saving Lyndon's life, she risks being found by them. She wants to help Lyndon in spite of the costs and the two take off on a hunt to find out who is after him and what they plan to do with research they stole from him.

Never Miss by Melissa Koslin is her romantic suspense debut novel. I found this to be an interesting book and I thought it was a good debut novel. At the same time, the plot in this novel partly revolves around a virus that could be unleashed on the world.  This is about my third novel on a virus of some sort being unleashed in the world and I think I am ready for a break from that topic. I don't fault the author for that. At the same time, there were a few places in the book that felt a little slow to me. There was a lot of talking and mental stuff going on more than running type of action. I also thought the ending felt a bit rushed.  Kadance and Lyndon were interesting characters but I struggled to really connect with them at times. I liked Mac, the cat that Kadance found. I liked that the spiritual parts of the book were well woven in. I thought Koslin did a great job with her descriptions as I could easily visualize the people and the places as well as the plot of this novel as I was reading it. I think Revell did a great job with the Never Miss cover to reflect the characters and the book too. There are a few pages in the back of the book that give a glimpse in to Koslin's next novel, which I would certainly give a try as I think this author has great potential.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader.

There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
