This is Sterling Chase's book, and a good addition to the series. I don't want to give anything away, but while some crises come to an end, new situations arise. The Breed/Rogue war has heated to the point of its climax. While fighting his bloodlust, Chase is also trying to redeem himself by continuing the fight against rogue's even if he's no longer a member of the Order. He's also gotten involved with a mysterious woman, who has powers that should be impossible. Their relationship seems a repeat of all the other bondings up to now, and comes off rather tired. While the romance doesn't do much for me, the plot is enough to make this worth reading.


A Disappearance in Drury Lane (Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries) (Volume 8)
Review Date: 3/30/2016


A wonderful addition to the Captain Lacy series. This is probably my favorite one to date. The mystery is tight and there is more than usual about the past and private lives of the characters as well as development of Gabriel's own happily ever after. A necessary read for anyone who follows the series.

For those who have read the previous series of Ione's about her demon and vampire heroes/heroines, this one is along similar lines, involving the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. While the characters have their interesting aspects, I found the concepts of who they are supposed to be as well as the issues involved to be confusing. Maybe you need to have some familiarity with who the Four Horseman are supposed to be in Christian lore - which I know little about. The Four are tied to the end of the world, and in this series, those events have apparently been put into motion. It is up to the Horseman to somehow prevent this disaster, while getting romantically involved in the process. The interaction is erotic and explicit, as well as romantic. I prefer the previous series as I think there are too many plot holes in this one, as well as confusion, but I recommens it as a fun read anyway.

A fun read, well within the quality to be expected of Ms. Jeffries. It is part 2 of her "Hellion" series, so you really need to read the 1st one before reading this. Recommended.

It's a really good book. One thing though - you need to have read the last three.

The story is about Houston,a man scarred inside and out by his experiences in the Civil War and Amelia, his brother's mail order bride whom he's escorting to her new home. The book was an enjoyable read, but not as good as some of Heath's other work. The problem lay in the plot, which had the hero/heroine on the road together for almost the entire book, getting to their ultimate destination where all the real drama would take place. I can understand some time spent traveling alone to get to know one another and share experiences, but not the whole book! Both characters behaved honorably, but it also limited their familiarity with each other so things got rather static. I got antsy after a while wondering when they would finally get to their destination, and what would happen with the relationship. On the plus side, the characters were well written and sympathetic. I just wish I had more opportunity to see them interacting with characters other than each other. When Amelia finally reached her husband-to-be, Dallas, things picked up beatifully. I just wish it had happened at least 50 pages earlier.

Another fun adventure for Cat & Bones. You probably need to have read the other 4 previous books to enjoy this one to the utmost, but if this is the only one you have to read, it's still a fun time, and should encourage the reader to read the others.
