Book Description:

While dangling a fishing hook from his flat bottom skiff before dawn, former SEAL-turned-PI Craige Ingram spots grey-black smoke coiling above the treetops across the river in the direction of the Georgia bayous and Corpsewood Manor. Bayou or bogs, fire in the uncut cypress and pines bodes a sense that the river is no barrier to the fire that threatens his ancestral home, Moccasin Hollow. Neither are the bodies later found in the burned mansion of Corpsewood Manor. Craige wastes no time in helping his ex-SEAL buddy Lt. Graysen MacGerald who is now Head of Buckingham Homicide Investigations by unofficially investigating the bodies and an exquisite dragonfly brooch found in the mansion with a reputation for evil, hauntings, and mystery. 

I rated this book 5 *****'s

True friendships for better or worse are always ready to lean a hand

Mr. Hawk MacKinney blew my mind again with his new book BLOOD OF THE DRAGONFLY. It is mind-blowing, suspenseful, and funny too. Real friendships are always ready to lean a hand when one friend is in need. It does not matter if it is personal or not. These three seals' ability to solve the crime is beyond me. Their wittiness is so intense. These hometown heroes are not only respected but their powers are not to be taken for granted.

Some cops are amazing and some are all about money. That kind of deed is bad and they do not care if they murdered somebody as long as they have their money. Innocent people always pay the price.  

This story is also about finding what matters to you and your heart. I admired the friendship between these three seals's the most. They are remarkable. This story is good and it is hard to put it down.

My True Love (The Steeles at Silver Island) Book by Melissa Foster

NEW RELEASE........
Can a man who resents the hand he’s been dealt and a woman who spends her days grateful for every little thing find true love in each other’s arms—or are their differences stronger than both of them? Find out in this funny, sexy, heartfelt romance, and fall in love with Grant and Jules on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, and midnight rendezvous.

Even war heroes need a little help sometimes... 

After spending years fighting for his country and too damn long learning to navigate life with a prosthetic leg, Grant Silver returns to Silver Island to figure out a future he couldn’t fathom without fatigues and a gun in his hand. He’d almost forgotten how a man could suffocate from the warmth and caring community in which he’d grown up, and if that weren’t bad enough, his buddies’ beautiful and far-too-chipper younger sister won’t stop flitting into his life, trying to sprinkle happy dust everywhere she goes. 

As a cancer survivor, Jules Steele knows better than to count on seeing tomorrow. She doesn't take a single moment for granted, and she isn’t about to let a man who used to be charming and full of life waste the future he’s been blessed with. She's determined to get through to him, even if it takes a few steamy kisses...

Ghosts of Love Book by David Burnett

NEW RELEASE...
Richard McNeil has loved three women in his life. 

He feels abandoned by all three. 

His wife passed away in childbirth, leaving him alone, a single father with an infant daughter. His daughter, Emily, now twenty years old, is leaving, marrying and moving away. Two months ago, Kim, his almost-fiancé, the only woman he has dated in over twenty years, left as they broke off their relationship. 

On the weekend of Emily’s wedding, he is haunted by his memories. The day his wife passed away plays in his mind like a video. Stories of Emily’s childhood leave him both smiling and wanting to cry. And worst of all, his recollections of meeting, dating, and falling in love with Kim almost seem real, as if he can stretch out his hand and touch her. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot understand what went wrong between the two of them, and, although he yearns for a reconciliation, he cannot dismiss the cruel things she said to him. 

His memories haunt him like ghosts, and he knows he will not be happy until they leave him be. He wants his future to be like his past, and he suspects, that it is he who holds on to his memories, not they to him. How can Richard release them? Perhaps, he finally can lay his wife to rest. Surely, he can mumble the words to give Emily away. But releasing Kim might mean giving up all hope of ever being together. How can he do that? 

If you enjoy heartwarming stories with true-to-life behaviors, complicated relationships, and a less-than-certain outcome, then you will love Ghosts of Love. One Click this book today!

Love is mysterious the second time around

I am a fan of Mr. David Burnett's writing. He never disappoints and Ghosts of Love is one amazing book to read. Love is mysterious the second time around. How can somebody moved on from his first love when everywhere he turns, she reminded him of her. 

This story is so beautiful. It helps you to focus on life, work, and the ghost of dearly is always around.  I love the poems. It is so romantic. Richard and Kim's love story is one of a kind. It is not easy, full of ups and down plus kids in between with different ideas of their parent's relationship.

The story is so heartwarming. One only can move on when he faces the past and let go. Love will blossom. This story is funny as well. I laugh out loud many times.
