About BREAKDOWN Book 4: What She Knew by Regan Black:

THE BREAKDOWN ERUPTS…Dr. Luciana Perez thought she hit the jackpot when she landed the position at the Shutter Lake Medical Clinic. Until her friend Sylvia Cole is murdered and the authorities come calling, certain that Luciana has more information about the crime.

But Luciana only knows Sylvia had secrets she wasn’t inclined to share. Secrets that had Sylvia seriously worried. Secrets someone was willing to kill to keep buried. Every day that the killer isn’t found, Luciana’s fear tightens like a noose around her neck: fear of her own secrets being exposed, fear of becoming the next victim, and fear that the murderer will irrevocably shatter the idyllic peace and security of their beautiful town.

Read an Excerpt:

Her house of cards was swaying. About to topple.

Dr. Luciana Perez sat in her home office, her chair turned toward the gray, rainy evening on the other side of the window. The vibrant fall color of the trees behind her house had been muted by the weather as well as her mood. On the desk, her cell phone chimed with yet another text message alert and she ignored it, her courage momentarily failing her.

She’d heard the news via text an hour ago and she had yet to shake off the chill that washed over her. A young woman, stripped to the waist, had been pulled from the river. The body was not immediately recognizable, thanks to the natural course of decomposition, but she could almost hear the name in the ping and patter of raindrops against the glass: Josie Rodriguez.

Ana had never been more grateful that her scope of work at the Shutter Lake Medical Clinic didn’t include serving as the coroner.

The text message notifying her about the body had been from her friend Dana Perkins. Dana, a superb psychologist and principal of Shutter Lake School, had been worried about Josie for weeks. Ana knew this wasn’t the answer Dana had hoped for when she asked their friend Julia Ford, a former investigative reporter to look into the girl’s disappearance.

Maybe it wasn’t Josie after all.

If only. A bitter, half-sob slipped through Ana’s lips. If the remains turned out to be someone other than Josie, the tension and fear gripping Shutter Lake would only increase exponentially. She had a few patients who didn’t need that kind of stress exacerbating underlying concerns and conditions.

Some of the brightest minds in industry, technology, and banking had come together to build and develop this town, planting their idea of paradise in the gorgeous Sierra Mountains of northern California. From the school to the cutting edge medical clinic she ran to the commitment to the arts, Shutter Lake had been a slice of heaven. More than a home, here she’d found the peace and stability she needed to heal even as she engaged her skills to heal others.

She loved being their doctor, caring for the community as a whole. Her staff, carefully selected, had become a second family and a high-functioning team every bit as essential to delivering excellent care as the state-of-the-art equipment the city council provided.

Murder had changed that.

Book Review: Timeless Vision (Knight Traveler, Book #1) by Regan Black

Timeless Vision by Regan Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Amazon

About the Book:

In the 6th century Sir Gawain volunteered without hesitation when King Arthur asked him to track down a sorceress building influence through a terrible power. Now, his quest has pitched him through time into 21st century New York City and he must fulfill his original pledge to his king to stop an evil cult bent on enslaving humanity. Tara O'Malley has recently assumed responsibility for her family pub in Brooklyn, the family finances, and the safety of a medieval dagger that has been handed down for generations. When the dagger is stolen, she soon discovers her best hope to recover it rests on the broad shoulders of a golden stranger who seems to have stepped right out of a Renaissance fair. Together Gawain and Tara must overcome the myths and curses of the past to safeguard humanity and any chance they might have for a future

My Review:

Timeless Vision is a time travel novel that takes a warrior from the days of King Arthur and casts him through time into the 21st century. Sir Gawain is a member of the Knights Round Table and will do what it takes to stop the spread of a vicious evil into future generations. The novel is a good versus evil story and without Sir Gawain’s heroics, the world and humanity may be forever destroyed. As he awakens in modern day New York City he knows that the evil transcended his time period and he must continue his quest to vanquish the sorceress.

Tara O’Malley has just assumed total responsibility for her family’s centuries old pub. With that total assumption of responsibility comes the protection and security of a dagger passed down from generation to generation since the times of King Arthur. The subsequent theft of the dagger reveals the danger now facing the modern world and it seems her only hope at recovering the dagger rests in very capable hands of a newcomer to this century.

Timeless Vision is a wonderful book full of action, romance, magic, and fantasy. The author expertly crafted a story that is engaging, exciting, and will draw in readers. The character development was done well and we see how strong of hero Gawain/Wayne is in both his native century and his new century and how strong and feisty Tara is as a business owner and the first female to watch over the bar and dagger. The author’s world building allowed me to visualize the book as I read along. I enjoyed the story, the characters, and the character interactions. Timeless Vision is fantastic and I highly recommend it to lovers of time travel, romance, and the paranormal.

I was given a paperback copy of the book to read.

About the Short Story:

Escape Club: Justice is a fast-paced, short adventure featuring characters from the Escape Club Heroes romantic suspense series.

Running the Escape Club is Grant Sullivan's second career and he can't shake the instincts that made him an excellent cop or the ingrained need to help the Philadelphia, PA community he calls home.

Grant Sullivan's second career is running a night club with a segment that also helps those in community with problems they can't solve themselves and don't or can't necessarily involve local authorities. People come to him for help, knowing the former cop will assist them. Others who don't know they need help eventually find their way to him, as well.

Natalie walks into Escape Club with nothing but vengeance on her mind. The man who sexually assaulter her is part of the band taking the stage and her intentions involve him not walking off stage alive. It is now up to Grant and his team to find a better way to mete out justice. What was done to her was a heinous crime but she shouldn't spend time behind bars for it, the perpetrator should. 

I love how Grant and his wife, Katie, are able to make Natalie comfortable. Katie's assurance and kindness help Natalie allow better choices to be made in handling her rapist. Grant has a very strong ability to take charge of the perpetrator and get him to do exactly what needs to be done in order to get justice for the crime. 

I really enjoyed this heart-wrenching short story. Regan Black is a wonderful author and I have always enjoyed her writing style. The characters she creates and the worlds she builds are realistic, well-developed, and keep me engaged from the very beginning. I highly recommend all of her work.

People come to him for help, knowing the former cop will assist them. Others who don't know they need help eventually find their way to him, as well.

Sabotage is about a band who comes to play at Escape Club. Small but potentially dangerous events keep happening around and to the band members. Jason, a firefighter by day, tends bar at night. He can't help be drawn to the band's lead singer, Lucy Benson. His instincts kick in when something happens as the band is setting up. The band either has some serious bad luck  or someone is out to sabotage the band.

Regan Black has written a wonderful short story set in the world of the Escape Club Heroes series. The characters are interesting and likable. The development of the problem surrounding the band is well written. I really like how Regan's creativity is expressed in the way Grand and his group are able to think-outside-the-box as they delve into the problems plaguing the band. I'm excited to continue with Escape Club: Justice. I have added the books in the Escape Club Heroes series to my TBR.

Book Blast & #Giveaway ~ Protecting Her Secret Son (Escape Club Heroes) by Regan Black ~ Contemporary Romantic Suspense ~ @ReganBlack

Protecting Her Secret Son
Escape Club Heroes
Regan Black

Genre: Contemporary Romantic Suspense

About the Book:



Shannon Nolan thought she’d escaped a nightmare world of ruthless crime - until her son is kidnapped! With nowhere else to run and no one else to trust, she puts her life in the hands of her boss, firefighter Daniel Jennings.

Read an Excerpt from Protecting Her Secret Son:

In her back pocket, her cell phone buzzed, belting out the old-school ringtone she used for unknown calls and text messages. She set aside the paint cup and pulled out her phone, swiping the screen to view the text.

No words, only a picture of her son. He was strapped into a car seat, his shirt rumpled, his pale blond hair windblown, and his cheeks and eyes were red. His lashes were spiked with tears and his lower lip thrust forward in a pout.

What had happened? Then she realized what she was looking at and her heart thudded in her chest. Staggered, terrified by her worst fears, she dropped the phone as she doubled over, clutching her stomach as if she’d taken a punch.

Daniel caught the phone and steadied her with a hand at her elbow. “Shannon? What’s wrong?”

“I—I’m not sure.”

The ringtone sounded as another text came in and she grabbed the phone from Daniel.

If you want to see your son again, tell his father to cooperate.

Her stomach clenched and she clapped a hand over her mouth. Whoever was behind this had chosen the wrong leverage. She’d never had any influence over Aiden’s father. Naturally, the sender’s number was blocked, but she hit the icon to call back anyway. It rang and rang, and no one answered.

“I have to go,” she said.
