I met the woman I love in a Graveyard at 10:30 at night… She jammed a flaming cigar into my arm for littering her favorite place.
The Graveyard.
I wrapped my hands around her tiny throat, expecting a man. An actual threat.
But no. It was a woman. A tiny woman at that. One who spoke English, but cursed, hissed and growled in Spanish. Not a threat at all. … or so I thought.
We’re not sociopaths. But we desperately wish we were.
So in honor of my birthday today, I wanted to announce my next book…
GRAVEYARD GIRL
For those following this world, this is Frances Capello’s book. You met him in Roses & Thorns and got to know him and his girl in Enzio’s book. However, this can completely be a standalone. It’s meant to be.

But when she’s not creating HEA stories, you can find her representing a reputable group of nursing facilities. If you Google her, she’ll pop up there too. And please google her!

It took a little bit to get into this book. It was slow starting, but once it got moving it wasn’t bad. It took a couple of chapters to get there though.
Daisy is a woman who is looking for someone to help her with her cash flow and has a reputation of being a woman that you don’t want to mess with. When she meets Aman to see if he can help her, she finds herself wanting more than help with her cash.
After a man is killed and it looks like Daisy is the killer, she runs and gets away from London. However, once she is away things begin to unravel in her life and she finds that not everything was as she thought.
I found the book to be a little slow and the characters weren’t that exciting to me. I felt that they could have been a bit more in depth. I give this book a 3.25 star review.
It may take a
criminal mind to be a savvy business woman.
If so, Daisy is set and driven to succeed. But to hold on to what she’s earned, she must live between black and white. She must spend her life in the gray.
That makes it difficult for a woman to know who she’s dealing with, in business and in bed.
Idris made it his business to know hers, leaving no skeletons undiscovered. When the two meet, sparks fly and sexual tension ignites.Passion, lust, and desire come before sensible decision making.
Has Daisy gotten involved with the wrong person this time?
Can this gorgeous man be trusted, or is it him that needs to beware?
Daisy is a mixed race urban romance where the road to true love is anything but easy.

Her first novel was inspired by the true life experiences of her clients. But don’t believe everything you read, she has more than enough imagination to catch you out with twist and turns galore.

The Enigma (DS Jason Smith & DC Harriet Taylor #1) by Stewart Giles
From #1 best-selling author: Stewart Giles comes a new detective series featuring the detectives from both the series’ we know and love.
In Trotterdown, Cornwall a boat, The Enigma washes in to the harbour. The skipper is dead, and Harriet Taylor is brought in to investigate. But 1 dead body is not the only crime the team have to deal with.
Meanwhile, further up the coast in Whitby a boat washes up on the rocks just outside the harbour. Everyone on board is dead. Whitby Police are out of their depth, so DS Jason Smith is called in to help.
It soon becomes clear the cases are connected and the teams from York and Trotterdown settle down to work with each other.
This is a unique story with twist, turns and shocks all the way through making it an adrenaline pumping read you will not be able to put down.
THE DETECTIVES
DC Harriet Taylor had only been married for 2 years when her philandering husband was killed in a car crash. It is common knowledge around the station that the woman who died next to him was his latest lover. Harriet transferred to Trotterdown to escape the gossip and sympathetic looks. She is now finding her way around Cornwall and getting to know the other members of the team.
DS Jason Smith is an Australian who was sent to York to live with his Grandmother when his sister disappeared from a beach. He has suffered many losses in his short life and is now a dedicated detective. He is a bit of a loose cannon he has his own way of doing things and that doesn’t always mean following orders and procedures.

Stewart Giles – Author Bio
After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live. After Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later. 3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor Cornwall series. The Beekeeper hit the shelves and hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well. The third in the series, The Backpacker I have self-published and is now available.
This was an interesting story to read. Brutal murders and the cooperation of multiple police departments lead to the take down of a cruel man and his team of criminals.
The Enigma is a boat out of Scotland that ends up in a small town where the group of detectives that are on the case of four brutal murder victims will work with other departments to get to the bottom of who murdered these people and why.
This story had brutal murders and great teams of detectives to find the murder(s) and solve the crimes that were committed. The characters are a combination of two of Stewart Giles’ detective series, that include DS Jason Smith Series and the DC Harriet Taylor Series. Both detectives are very good at their jobs and know how to go about getting results. DS Smith has a tendency to go about his detective work by his own rules, but DC Taylor is more of a rule follower when she’s working. With these two teaming up though they will work well together and they will get to the bottom of the case.
I enjoyed this book. This was my first read of Mr. Giles stories, but found it to be a suspense filled story and the twists in the story were interesting. I give this story a 4 star review and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes crime, police, suspense, or stories that draw you in immediately.
Samantha Perkins, a young girl who is trying to raise enough money to help save her adoptive mom. She’s a hard worker and a young woman who keeps to herself, but she’ll do anything for the woman who took her and gave her a home at the age of six. Samantha closes herself off from the rest of the world as a safety mechanism for herself. She’s strong and stubborn, but she will meet someone who will show her that life is worth living and sharing. It will take her a while to realize this, but she will come around int he end. Unfortunately for her though, her life will go through many hard times and changes before she’ll get her happily ever after.
Logan Prescott, a lonely man who has the world by the tail but has no one to share it with. He has been in the public eye since he was a boy and has struggled with his own hardships in life, but he wants someone he can share his thoughts and worries with. Someone that cares for him as the person he is and not what he can give them because of his notoriety. He has his sister, but she has her own demons to slay and he can only share so much with her without destroying her, or so he thinks. Dana is stronger now and she is coming into her own as a young adult. His love and caring probably helped with that.
The feels in this story were all over the place. First there was the thought of “Sam, you damn fool” to “Yes, finally, you smartened up”, to “Oh my god! No!” and everything in between.
This story was so well written for the content and it blew me away. I have read Bry Ann’s Roses & Thorns series and the Shattered Duet as well as her two stand alone stories from the series and they are dark, but this was light with dark mixed in. I have become a big fan of Bry Ann’s writing this year and continue to be awed by her books. Her stories have so much in them that it’s almost as if she is writing them from her own experience and that’s what draws me in so much, I think.
I give this story a 4.5 star review and I look forward to reading more of this series and finding out what will happen next.
Every mission has a price.
He never meant for her to pay it.
Aiden has never left anyone behind. Not a comrade and certainly not an innocent. But when an undercover mission goes wrong, he’s forced to abandon a woman trapped in a human trafficking ring.
Violet learned brutally that no one is promised a happy ending. She knows Aiden blames himself for his part, but she refuses to let her abduction define the rest of her life.
She won’t be a victim again. And she’s going after what she wants: Aiden.
Watching Violet transform herself into a fierce warrior is the sexiest thing Aiden has ever seen. The honorable plan would be to stay away from her–let her heal and grow without the shadow of his mistakes clouding her progress–even though every instinct tells him to claim her for his own.
But when they discover the danger they thought they’d left behind is closer than ever, they’ll have to face their deepest fears and fight side-by-side in order to survive.
