Jan 27 The Goldilocks Genome: A Medical Thriller

  

 

The Goldilocks Genome: A Medical Thriller

Like this book from the start. A couple that has issues and Wendy wants to file for divorce from Jonas.

We then learn of her death. Her husband has made it rich for them and more once they met and joined forces.

Another story also dealing with Prozac and Sarah gives her husband, Rob divorce papers. 

FDA Carrie has been collecting data because her best friend is now dead.

 Jonas researches all he can and finds out other information from others about the drug his wife had been on and he wonders why they didn't run DNA tests to find out potential problems.  Carrie's  friend Ann has inside information about the drugs Sarah was taking and why they were not working.

Jonas takes matters into his own hands.... Love all the technical terminology and how it all fits into the story line.  This is real life situations.

Like all the research they are able to find and pull together to figure things out over the course of the book. Like how they go back in time and we learn about who was behind it all, why and how they did it.

Powerful book, love travel, mysteries, medical field, FDA, research and investigations.

Great read for any one. 

Jan 27 Under the Lawman's Watch by Debra Holt

  

 

 Under the Lawman's Watch by Debra Holt

Love this story because it's so realistic and I can see it happening.

Starts out with Rance and he's back to work and being assigned to watch a judge. He's enthusiastic about the work and realizes when he sees the judge that she's a female. He had not counted on that. He carries her away to a cabin in the woods, a relatives cabin for them to use.

His family come to his aid and bring food and other supplies. When the heavy rains come they must leave. So typical of Texas flooding in July of last year. They are able to escape and also help the community with food and other things they critically need.

He checks in every day, the other judges, one poisoned another hurt are both on the mend and the clues do lead the cops to the culprits. 

Rance and Erin have become familiar with one another and she doubts what she wants to do with the rest of her life. She likes the idea of living in the fishing cabin but...

Received this review copy from Tule Publishing via BookSprout and this is my honest opinion. 

Book Review: Frost by Ellie Masters

  

 

Frost by Ellie Masters

In this story we find Colt and he's overhearing the foreign combat team discuss a woman who will be transferred within three hours. He translates what they are saying while sitting at the bar. Love how he knows he's had two strikes and one more and the team will get rid of him. When he goes rogue it's a guarantee he's got three strikes. He uses extreme caution following them and trails them 1/4 mile sometimes without lights. He is so well trained that he can sneak up on them and kill them without them alerting others. He knows nothing about Magnolia but his team knows she's out there somewhere. He gets alerts on his phone and ignores them by not responding. He does read them. He is able to get her and he realizes she's been trained by the military and she has no idea who he is or why he is saving her. She knows the bad guys need her signature to turn over her mothers trust fund to them, along with her brothers signature. 

Maggie questions him as he takes them to a safe location for a bit of time.

He has dug into her brothers background and he informs her of what is happening and why he is using her, selling her to the bad guys so he can get the rest of the money and walk away from it all. Fast pace, action, adventure, mysteries and romance.

Love all the action, adult scenes, the strategies, movements on handling the weapons, the signals they both use, and how he's willing to give up his career to save her.

So many options and decisions...

Love this book kept me busy all afternoon and wouldn't mind reading more from the Guardians or other works by this author.

Very well descriptive details I feel as if I am there at times. 

Book Review: Sapphire Ice by Hallee Bridgeman

  

Sapphire Ice by Hallee Bridgeman 

This story starts out with Robin, the older of her sisters. Robin works many hours at different places to make ends meet and also paying for her sisters to finish college. SHe's just a few months from being done with that obligation. She also suffers nightmares of the events that happened when she was young and her mother had gotten killed along with others. A drugs deal gone bad. She fought to keep all the girls together.

She's quite accomplished at Barry's a long time frined that his wife took her in and has always been there for them. She meets Tony and is taken with him but also stays away from him. He tipped her after a meal and she returns the money. She won't even take money from her sisters to help with food or rent.

Tony is very devoted to the church and his normal life you can find him negotiating to buy other places around town. He turns them around making them even more profitable.

Love how the phrases from the Bible really matter to Robn without her knowing why. She is finally able to open up to Tony and he loves it when she's welcomed into his church.

Love little moments they are together and with family and friends. So comfoting.

End there is a glossary of terms used and recipes form the book and also discussion questions.

Such heartache and tragic lives the girls have had. Love what life has in store for Robin and her sisters.

excellent read, can't wait to read the rest of the series.

The Burnt-Out & Regulated Bitch: A Two-Book Collection for Breaking the Burnout Cycle by Gwen Taylor

This is a two book set.

...

The Burnt Out Bitch  by Gwen Taylor

Interesting to understand that you do have to take care of yourself first before you help others. You get burnt out. There are many forms of just overdoing things but the author gives you advice on what you need to do to get back on track. You must learn that you have a voice and you hae to use it, usually with the word 'no'. but your plate is overfilled already.

Practical advice when another committee wants you to volunteer your time but there's no more hours in the day to do so.  Don't feel guilty your family should come first along with time for yourself each day.

Really good advice to take care of yourself.

....

The Regulated Bitch by Gwen Taylor

This section is about not getting it perfect every time. You can take a step or breath for yourself. Love the real talk sections of real life situations. Being a parent is a real good one also. So much there that we were expected to do, following what our mothers did while they raised us.

Lvoe the grounding and regulating things. Love routines that are NOT overwhelming.

Great advice throughout.
