"His Main Attraction:  Elite Alliance" by Stephanie Nicole Norris


My Sentiments:



"His Main Attraction" was a beautiful read about Malik and Tina. His love for her was undeniable, seeing that Malik had finally found someone to love. The story showed how well this family of brothers, including Langston and Tristan, truly loved their mom despite what had gone on with their father. Seeing their mom find a king who seemed to make her happy was so good. Also, we find Tina's aunt Loretta was giving her some trouble in what was going on in her life with just getting older. How well this story all comes; together; you will have to pick this story to see how well this author presents it to the reader. Indeed it was a good read.

WHAT YOU'VE DONE: A romantic suspense thriller Kindle Edition by J.A. Schneider April 16


Book Excerpt:

"A small town divorce lawyer ("I know people's secrets") blames herself when a client's teen daughter is brutally murdered. She investigates and finds herself the killer's next target.

Grieving the loss of her NYPD detective husband, former defense attorney Mia Peale moves to Grand Cove, Connecticut, desperate for a sense of community and hoping to rebuild her life. Now, starting a family law practice, she's finally found friends and peace - until the teen daughter of one of her clients is brutally murdered, and the girl's boyfriend stands accused.

Kelly Payne was an adored high school track star. Brian Hall is a poor boy in an affluent town, and the community is outraged. But Mia has known Brian since her arrival and can't believe he's guilty, despite strong circumstantial evidence against him. As his defense turns lackluster, she asks Grand Cove police detective Jay Colter for help. Jay is also skeptical of the police and DA's case and takes them on, especially when Mia's friend from her former Manhattan law firm uncovers a frighteningly similar murder in the city. Secretly, Jay helps Mia investigate both crimes, but his alarm grows as her life is threatened by a maniac hiding among them."

My Speculation:

All I can say is that this was one good romantic thriller suspense that will keep you turning the pages to see what was coming next in this well-written story.  What will happen when Mia Peale moves to Grand Cove, Connecticut, wanting to rebuild her life?  With Mia is still grieving from the death of her husband, she has started a family law practice.  What will happen when one of her client's daughter is killed, and her boyfriend is accused of the murder. I enjoyed how Mia was so involved in finding who this killer was in deciding to do some investigation of her own. I only wished she had taken a little better care of herself when it came to her safety and security for her home. 

It was quite a read in how Mia gets help not only from a certain Grand Cove Police detective but from her friend from Manhattan, which will uncover a similar murder in that city that turns up to be very identical to this killing.  Several times I thought I knew just whom this murderer was, but I was so wrong, and it will be delivered so well to the readers toward the end.  I will say that that ending was one real thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat in how well it all will be brought out.

Be ready for some fascinating characters that really give the story one defined and well-developed story. I will say that this author did a great job with the writing of  'What You've Done.'  Yes, it was a long read [83 Chapters], but it was well worth the read, a story where everything was brought out so well in the end. Would I recommend this well-told story?  YES!  

Thank you to the author for the read and my giving my honest opinion of the story.

"Love On The Run" by Roy Glenn

My Rationalization:

Two people Nicole Maddox [FBI agent] and Jamal Hayes [design engineer] who meet again and yes, fall in 
love will have their lives uprooted as they are 'accused of espionage and conspiracy against the United States.'
Now, how did this all happen to them?  Will Carmen Taylor-Douglas be able to use her investigative skills in order to help Nicole and Jamal?  By the end of this story, I was left uneasy at the way it ended?  So, I guess there will be so more to who framed Nicole and Jamal who has been left incarcerated.
