Sunday Salon: Flash Reviews

I’m a bit behind with my reviews, so today I’m using the Sunday Salon to give a brief review for three suspense romances I read recently. I don’t have a lot to say about them anyway, as they’re fairly light fare.

Platinum Cowboy by Rita Herron (5 stars, nr. 31)

Platinum Cowboy is the first in a series of 4 and set on a ranch that suffers from sabotage. But there’s more to it than just someone trying to ruin the owner Flint McKade. In the midst of this all, the new veterinarian Lora Leigh Whittaker is searching for her brother that disappeared while working for Flint under an assumed name. The more she learns, the more she believes something bad happened, and Flint is the man she suspects. But at the end of the day, the two of them might need each other if they are to come out of this alive. I really liked this one, from the romance to the plot, it was all very believable and fast-paced.

Security Blanket by Delores Fossen ( 5 stars, nr. 32)

Texas P.I. Quinn “Lukcy” Bacelli is tracking Marin Sheppard, convinced she knew where her criminal brother was. But he’s not the only one to think so and someone else is willing to kill Marin and her son to get the information. A pretend engagement is the last thing Lucky was expecting, but it might just be what he wants. I liked this one, at times it read more as a thriller than a romance and you never knew who to trust. There was a lot more going on behind the obvious plot than I thought. This book is the first in the Texas Paternity series, although the order is a bit ambiguous.

Armed and Devastating by Julie Miller (4 stars, nr. 33)

This is actually the second one in this series, which I figured out pretty soon. Still, I liked this one. But although the mystery is somewhat resolved, not everything is. This one definitely can't stand on its own if you want to know everything that happened.
