Mouse Is In The House – Lethal Risk by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor #romanticsuspense

Posted on by

Amazon / KindleUnlimited / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

I have read many, many books by Jane Blythe and have never been disappointed, so adding Lethal Risk to that list was a no brainer. Chock full of romance and danger, I especially loved the addition of Lolly to the mix. I love how the tension and pacing are off and running from the beginning pages. Jane Blythe’s writing fits me so well, I zip through the pages on pins and needles, stopping for some romance now and then. After all, gotta smell those roses, right?

Jane Blythe has the ability to make me believe the characters are real, with her vivid, true to life descriptions. I guess that is why she is able to draw all the feels from me. I fear for the characters, laugh with the characters and they linger long after the book is finished. She approaches each novel with a fresh outlook, often avoiding the pitfalls of romantic suspense.

We begin with the attempted abduction of Asher’s (Mouse’s) daughter, Lolly. Could this have something to do with the organization that Storm Gallagher belonged to? Just because he is no longer a threat, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a bigger plan in motion.

Mouse had only taken his eyes off his daughter for a few seconds. There are people all around, but when he looks for her, she is nowhere to be seen. I think every parent can imagine his panic and desperation. When he sees Lolly with Phoebe Lynch, he doesn’t hesitate to take her down…and their story begins.

Phoebe feels she is being watched and Mouse, along with Prey Security are at her side. No one had any idea of who her psychopathic ex boyfriend really was, but as they learn more about it, the danger rises. His obsession makes Phoebe realize he will do anything to get her back, to make her into the person he believes she should be…for him. The only way out…death.

It’s a small world, and as everything comes together, the romance begins. And Lolly…sweet, precious Lolly. I looked forward to her dialogue that put a smile on my face. Her capacity for love is as big as her personality.

“Did you have someone to hold at night?” Lolly asked.

“No, sweetie.” Lolly’s brow furrowed. “I don’t want you to be alone. Come to my room.” Lolly jumped to her feet, took Phoebe’s hand, and pulled her along after her.

“I brought Baby Kitty,” she told Asher (Mouse), pulling the stuffed animal from her bag. Lolly had insisted that since she had Mrs. Fuzzy to keep her safe at night, Phoebe had to take Baby Kitty home with her to cuddle in bed.

Damn, this woman can write. She still surprises me, when I think it is no longer possible to surprise me, because I have read so many of her books. Her words and her characters speak to me, making a home in my heart. Her stories feel so real…and she has already set the hook for the next book in the series.

Oh man, it’s a cliffhanger, but the next book is available, so, thank you Jane, no waiting.

GOODREADS BLURB

He already lost one woman he loves he won’t lose another.

Phoebe Lynch doesn’t want to be her boyfriend’s punching bag any longer so she runs to the other side of the country to get away from him. Lying to her family about why she’s really there, all she wants to do is find the woman she used to be before she got beaten down and lost all her self esteem. What she doesn’t want is to fall for another alpha male. Especially one who could crush her battered heart.

When Asher “Mouse” Whitman’s daughter disappears from the park he assumes the strange woman he spots her with is the culprit. Instead he learns she saved Lolly’s life. Now all he wants to do is protect her and chase away the fear in her eyes. Convincing Phoebe to give him a chance won’t be easy especially with her abusive ex still sniffing around.

But her ex is far more dangerous than any of them realize and Mouse might wind up losing not just the woman he’s falling for but his daughter as well.

If you loved USA today bestselling author Jane Blythe’s inclusions in Susan Stoker’s Operation Alpha world, you’ll be thrilled with LETHAL RISK, the second book in the Prey Alpha Team series.

Review – Protecting Dove by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor #romanticsuspense

Posted on by

Protecting Dove by Jane Blythe is Book VI of the Prey, but the series is part of something so much bigger. There are many more books and authors putting their own spin on the Operation Alpha World.

About Operation Alpha

Operation Alpha is the fan fiction world for Susan Stoker’s SEAL of Protection, Delta Force Heroes, and Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Worlds. The books all have at least one of Susan’s characters in them. Check it out at Aces Press.

Amazon / KindleUnlimited / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

When I first saw the cover of Protecting Dove, I thought of a cyborg. Dove looks like a china doll, unreal, but as we delve into the story, all is revealed. She is an albino. I have never read a book about an albino character and I love that one of my favorite authors has given me that experience. Sun can be deadly and Dove will be put to the test in Protecting Dove.

Dove is a member of Prey security, the chief financial officer. Her favorite thing about being wealthy is the clothes. She rarely wore things more than once and had all the accessories to go with them. Another passion is her ability to give back.

She is dressed for the charity ball, but when she opens the door for her bodyguard, she never expected to see him, Isaac Anderson. He had saved her life two years ago, but because he had seen her at her worst, she wanted nothing to do with him. Of course, we know things will not stay that way.

We know with romantic suspense, there will be some push and pull with the romance, and some danger and action. Even though most things are predictable, Jane Blythe creates fascinating characters with their own personalities that make them stand out as individuals and puts them in intriguing situations.

Dove quickly captured our hearts, mine and Isaac’s with her:

“I’m sassiness not sweetness.”

Dove grew up, with the rest of her family, learning how to defend herself. Looking at her, small in stature and pale as a china doll, makes her seem fragile and defenseless. She was always aware of her surroundings, could cry on cue, and used all her ‘disabilities’ to her advantage. Beware those who underestimate her.

For the first time in her life, she is at the center of danger and wants to show her family that she is not defenseless, that she has skills to defend herself…and those she cares about.

“You smell delicious, like cake.”

I had to share this quote because of Jane Blythe’s writing…

She doubted it was possible to smell like cake down there, but she wasn’t going to ruin the mood and tell him so.

Every character in the series has a tragic story to tell and Jane Blythe comes up with a story that is unique to each character. She can write some sappy romance and I love it. Sprinkle in some steamy sex here and there, danger and intrigue, and a happy ever after, and I will forever be a Jane Blythe fan, eagerly devouring every word she writes. Whenever I think the worst is over, she will come up with something else, and even when I know something is coming, it can still be a surprise.

Just because this series is over, don’t fret. Jane Blythe will be spinning off in another direction that is sure to visit these familiar characters again. I do love these ongoing series, where the characters almost seem real and I become heavily invested in them.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Protecting Dove by Jane Blythe.

GOODREADS BLURB

He saw her at her most vulnerable and she never wanted to see him again.

Dove Oswald never expected to come face to face with the man who saved her life ever again. Nor did she expect him to save her a second time. Surprised by the spark of attraction between them, when she realizes he’s hiding something she’s determined to figure out what it is. When she inadvertently puts both their lives in danger she’ll finally get the chance to prove to everyone that she’s every bit as strong as the rest of her family as she and Isaac fight side by side for their lives.

Isaac Anderson fails the people he cares about. When he accidentally spots a crime scene photo and recognizes one of the perpetrators he knows he’ll do whatever it takes to save someone he once cared about, try to even the score. Instead he winds up falling for the woman he used, and now he’s faced with a whole new challenge, caring about someone means he could fail them, and he and Dove are going to find themselves in a danger neither of them saw coming.

Early Review – Some Truth Can Be Distorted by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor

Posted on by

.

Preorder HERE and Some Truth Can Be Distorted by Jane Blythe will be delivered to your KIndle on August 2,2021.

Woo Hoo. We are back in River’s End, where the serial killers run free…until someone catches them, and romance is in the air. Some Truth Can Be Distorted by Jane Blythe is the fourth book in the series, but no worries, they can stand alone.

Some Truth Can Be Distorted (River's End Rescues, #4)

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

YAY, back in River’s End with some hunkalicious males and the women who love them…And right from the beginning Jane Blythe ripped my heart out!

After two years, Renee is at a standstill in her life and River’s End calls to her. I hurt for her…and when she runs into Will, my heart breaks all over again for her.

Will was a Navy Seal, now working as an undercover cop. He felt the time was right to propose to Renee, his lawyer girlfriend. He was excited to be home, but when he pulled up to the house, like Renee, his spidey senses started tingling. He had waited too long. It was too late.

Some Truth Can Be Distorted by Jane Blythe has all the feels for a romantic suspense novel. Even though Renee is alive after being raped, all the emotional baggage come into play, fear, shame, humliation, loss. The facts don’t matter, it is all about the feelings…and Will would make HIM pay.

Will had left Renee to find HIM, and now, ten months later, she is alone. Will had walked away and she doesn’t want him any more. He had abandoned her and destroyed her trust. Will she give him a second chance?

When Renee meets the ladies, Meadow, Maggie, Poppy and Sydney, we all got a smile. They accept her with no questions asked. I want Renee to have all the things that make life complete and I have a feeling these ladies will play a part. After all, River’s End is a small town where everyone knows your name.

Jane Blythe can sure pen a novel filled with Despair and devastation, hope and loss, and…Will…OMG…I love him! He is persistent, patient, passionate, powerful.

How many bad things can happen to a good person? With Jane Blythe there is no hard and fast rule. She is able to create a sense of danger and anticipation of something bad happening lingers on every page. I know something evil is coming, just not how or when. She surprises me over and over again with her excellent and creative writing, characters that come alive, making me, at times, race through the pages and other times covering the words with my hand so I don’t get even a glimpse of what is coming

Some Truth Can Be Distorted and the River’s End seris by Jane Blythe is a perfect fit for me and I am LOVING them!

Perception is truth.

Renee Miller sacrificed over and over again in her relationship with Will Black, and then when she needed him the most he wasn’t there for her. Now she’s back in River’s End and Will is determined to win her back, only she’s not the same person she was when they were together. Her world has been tilted on its axis and she has no idea how to right it.

Will knows that he messed up when he didn’t give Renee what she needed, instead doing what he thought was best, but he is desperate for a second chance. This time he is determined to put her first, show her with words and actions how much he loves her. When Renee’s life is threatened and it becomes clear someone is targeting her he now faces two threats to reclaiming the woman he adores, a killer and her lack of trust in him.

ABOUT JANE BLYTHE

Jane has loved reading and writing since she can remember. She writes dark and disturbing crime/mystery/suspense with some romance thrown in because, well, who doesn’t love romance? She has one completed series, Detective Parker Bell, and one new series, Count to Ten.

When she’s not writing Jane loves to read, bake, go to the beach, ski, horse ride, and watch Disney movies. She has a black belt in Taekwondo, and a 200+ collection of teddy bears. She has the world’s two most sweet and pretty Dalmatians, Ivory and Pearl. Oh, and she also enjoys spending time with family and friends!
