Review – Saving Owen by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor

Posted on by

Jane Blythe’s covers for the Saving Seals series is filled with eye candy. What do you think?

Saving Owen (Saving SEALs, #3)

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

Owen was at a loss. His wife, Maya, had died of cancer. Why was it her, instead of him? After all, he is a Navy Seal and puts his life on the line every time he goes on a mission.

He was heading to his apartment when he saw an open door. He entered to rescue the maiden, Evie, from being raped. She reminded him of Maya, so even though they lived in the same building, he was determined to put distance between them.

Of course, it’s romantic suspense, so it isn”t hard to figure out they will get together. The thing is, Jane Blythe throws twists and turns willy nilly, so we can never be sure how they will get there. And so…

Owen comes home from a mission to find Evie packed and ready to go. She is leaving him. His past came back to smack him in the face and it was too late to come clean. She had always felt like second best. Now, she felt used, was crushed, and, until the cartel came knocking at her door, she wanted nothing to do with him.

She becomes a threat to the Perez Cartel and the entire Seal team knows just how deadly they can be. They have dealt with them before. The cartel is deadly, dealing in kidnapping, torture, trafficking and murder, to keep the drugs running.

Every move they make to hide and protect her, they are found. How can he keep her safe and have a chance at winning her back?

The suspense builds and even though I have a good idea how it will end…wink, wink…the nonstop action and danger was one wild ride. I am tired and ready for bed, but I have to know…

…and Jane Blythe has me wanting to hear Shark’s story. He deserves a happy ever after too. What do I see when I reach the end? It is like Jane read my mind. Shark’s story is next in line. Hoorah.

His secrets ruined their marriage, can she trust him now to keep her safe?

Evangeline “Evie” Walter always looks for the good in people, a trait that usually ends up with her being used and hurt, just like it did in her marriage to Navy SEAL Owen. But when she finds herself in the sights of a ruthless cartel she doesn’t see any other choice but to risk getting hurt again by turning to the only people she trusts to keep her safe; Owen’s SEAL team.

Owen “Fox” LeGrand was grieving his wife when he met Evie, he saved her life and friendship grew between them before they fell in love. Then he ruined it. He’s waited two years for a chance to make things right but he never expected that opportunity to come because Evie’s life is in danger. Now getting her to trust him again has taken on a whole new importance, because if he can’t fix what he broke then Evie could wind up dead.

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.

Special Forces – Saving Eric by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor

Posted on by

.

Jane Blythe is a must read author and loved the first book, Saving Ryder in the Saving Seals Series, so I was eager to begin another adventure.

Saving Eric (Saving SEALS, #2)

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

I want to start about by saying, I have never rated a Jane Blythe novel below a four. She is one of my favorite authors, but…

Saving Eric had irritating issues for me. I loved their nicknames, but bouncing back and forth between their given name and the nicknames were, at times, confusing to me.

Saving Eric started out great, a lot of action and it felt real. After all, Seal Teams sneak in, accomplish their mission and get out of dodge as quietly as possible. I watch Seal Team on TV religiously and love it, so to see Jane Blythe start a Seal Team series left me eager to read on. I loved the first book, Saving Ryder, so I had high hopes for Saving Eric.

Lavendar is a runner and she runs from him…to her sister. I get that, but I got bored with the push/pull of the romance. I thought she was a strong character, traveling the world on her own…my kind of woman. Showing no fear, but she ended up doubting everything, being a bit wishy washy.

Saving Eric felt as if someone other the Jane Blythe wrote it. The ending was very abrupt. What saved the book was the beginning chapters. It felt real, like reading about current events. The characters were familiar and I love that about Jane Blythe’s series. Even though the books can stand alone, she brings me up to date on what characters from previous books are up to now. All that being said, I am eager for more of her work and just because one book didn’t work for me doesn’t mean the next one won’t. Write on Jane!

The Everyday Heroes World – Protect by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor

Posted on by

.

I have read a lot of Jane Blythe’s work, but Protect is my first foray into The Everyday Heroes World. I hope for an intriguing adventure.

Protect (The Everyday Heroes World)

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

Protect by Jane Blythe seemed different to me than the novels she usually writes. It took me a while to figure out why. I think it’s because it wasn’t as dark and disturbing as most of her work I have read. The darker, the better for me. This seemed a cross between a cozy mystery and romantic suspense, more on the lighter side.

Poppy is the receptionist and office manager for the police department. She is a fabulous character and carries the novel, keeping me hoping for a happy ever after for her.

Detective Beau Caldwell was driving home when he saw a car on the side of the road. Something seemed very wrong.

Poppy had been coming home from her parents funeral and stopped when she saw a wrecked car. She quickly becomes a suspect in the death of the serial killer when she is found bending over his dead body by Beau. I didn’t see that coming, but Jane Blythe is good at throwing book surprises at me.

Do you believe in Fate? Events make Poppy consider it.

Have you ever played Strip Beetle? Why not let Poppy teach you the rules?

Beau is a detail man, while Poppy lets her heart lead the way. I do love that there was not a lot of push/pull in their ‘relationship’ and Poppy is not the type to get all angsty. about things. She is sensible and understanding.

I figured out the culprit pretty quick, but the route we took to the end was frightening and suspenseful, with some twists and turns and bullets flying, keeping me on my toes.

There were a couple of bumps and moments when I had to stop and think, feeling like I was filling in the blanks. That is unusual for a Jane Blythe novel, but I loved Poppy and the last of the book saved it.

“They did so much for me it seems disrespectful to not honor their memory by trying to live my best life.” That sums up Poppy.

Who killed the serial killer?

All Poppy Deveraux wants to do is bury her parents and get out of the town where she suffered through a horrendous ordeal. Unfortunately that plan is derailed when she finds herself at the centre of a police investigation. The sexy cop working the case makes her want to break her own rule and let things get serious, but as soon as she is allowed she’s leaving town with no plans to return, so what’s the point in falling in love?

Detective Beau Caldwell is attracted to Poppy from the second he lays eyes on her, but she’s involved in his case and it isn’t wise to mix business with pleasure. Doesn’t stop him falling for the beautiful woman he’d like to have a future with, but as soon as she can Poppy is leaving and she’s never coming back. Is it worth risking his heart on the off chance things might work out the way he wants or can he learn to live in the moment and let what happens happen?

Jane Blythe’s Protect is an emotional, action-packed romantic suspense written in K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes Worlds project.

Some Questions Have No Answer by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor

Posted on by

Woo Hoo. I am heading back to River’s End and I can hardly wait to see what some familiar characters are up to, what new characters I will meet and the danger they will face.

Some Questions Have No Answers (River's End Rescues, #3)

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

I am so happy that I could jump from Maggie and Theo’s story, straight into Sydney and Levi’s. I have spent some time in River’s End am loving every every minute of it. Hot guys and the women they love, danger and serial killers. Her books are filled with tense, unexpected moments, keeping the suspense at a high level. I don’t know what more I can want. 🙂

Sydney came to River’s End for a fresh start. The police had been there when she needed them, and she wanted to do the same for others. She is a deputy and the only woman amongst a crew of ex military men. Sounds like it could be verrrrrry interesting to me…and her first case is a murder. Who would have thunk it in such a small town, where everyone knows your name.

Levi, literally, bumped into newbie. He had grown up in River’s End and was curious about the newcomer. Is she a tourist or a resident? He is a doctor at Sacred Heart Hospital…funny, because we have a Sacred Heart Hospital here.

Levi’s brother, Abe is the serious one, Theo is the fun loving one, and Levi is the one that follows his heart…and it is falling for Sydney from the first moment they met.

Jane Blythe’s heroes are very patient men and they take a lot of cold showers. LOL Levi is not exception. I love that I can laugh even when I know danger is right around the corner, lurking in the shadows, just waiting for the moment someone lets their guard down to make their move.

There was a moment or two about 50% in that I didn’t like, but it all came together in a good way. I guess I was too quick to judge, but isn’t that what makes a story seem real? After all, we humans do have our faults and do stupid things at times.

WOW..that was a wild ride filled with ups and downs, danger and murder, life and death…and love. Even the serial killer got some empathy from me. I do love a great villain. Jane can create some tense, nail biting scenarios that are not trite and overused. She has her moments when she amazes me with her creative writing and characters that seem so real that once you know them, you don’t forget them. That’s what makes return trips to town such a reading pleasure.

How do you give an answer when you don’t understand the question?

Sydney Clark moved to River’s End for a fresh start, desperately wanting to put the past behind her. What she didn’t expect on her first day as a deputy in the Sheriff’s department was to be working a serial killer case, and a disturbing one at that. What she expected even less was to meet a man who will challenge everything her childhood taught her about men.

Levi Black knows what it’s like to watch the woman you love die, he’s been there twice before and it sucks, which is why he took himself out of circulation, flirting is fine—fun even—but anything deeper risks your heart. Then he meets Sydney. He can see in her eyes that she’s battling some pretty rough demons, and getting involved with a cop might be more than he’s prepared to risk, especially with an unpredictable serial killer stalking the town.

Some Lies Will Haunt You by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor

Posted on by

Jane Blythe, a USA Bestselling Author, is a must read for me. I have been loving her books and the River’s End Rescue series has been a wonderful adventure into the small town life of some fabulous characters that have stolen my heart…and the serial killers that hunt them.

Some Lies Will Haunt You (River's End Rescues #2)

Amazon /

MY REVIEW

Maggie woke up early, and seeing she had a routine, she couldn’t figure out why…until, she smelled the smoke. Her hotel was on fire and she was trapped…no way out.

Theo, and the rest of the team get the call…Honeysuckle Hotel. They all know Maggie and her hotel, that it had been in her family for generations. After serving in the Marines, Theo had come home to be a firefighter. I wouldn’t mind a hunkalicious fireman throwing me over his shoulder and saving me from…anything. LOL He had been friends with Maggie, so he thought nothing of offering her a place to in his home while the hotel was being repaired.

Somniphobia: The fear of sleep. Nightmares have plagued Maggie her entire life, so I know there has to be a horrible story there. She sleeps with the light and TV on. I don”t sleep with the light on, but I do sleep with the TV on. I need the noise to cover up all those creaks and groans the house makes when things are too quiet.

River’s End is a small town, where everyone knows ones everyone’s business. People think Maggie is sweet, cool, calm and collected. But, they don’t know her secret.

I first me Theo in a Broken Gems novel. He has a broken heart and felt he did Maggie wrong when she reached out to him because of it. She felt she deserved to be punished, alone with her nightmares.

I love books with secrets and I am curious what Maggie’s will be. The villain has a plan and the fire is only the first step. He doesn’t care about anything or anyone. It’s all about what he wants, how he feels…and he feels monstrous,wants revenge. For what

Have you ever looked at someone, and all of a sudden you see them in a different light? As if they are a different person altogether? And, sometimes a character…or two…need to be slapped upside the head.

I love that no two of her romantic suspense scenarios are the same. She always manages to tweak them in an engrossing way.

Everyone has told lies but hers might get her killed.

Maggie Wilson has spent her entire adult life pretending she’s self assured and confident, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. When her hotel catches fire she finds herself looking at a childhood friend through new eyes, but as she falls for him she realises that if she wants to have a future with him she’ll have to admit to the lies that have hung over her head for half a lifetime. If she does that she’ll lose him.

Firefighter Theo Black walks through the flames to rescue his friend Maggie without a second thought, that was easy but realizing things are changing between them isn’t. He’s already done the whole falling for a friend thing before and it didn’t work out, he has no intention of going through that again. However when it becomes clear someone keeps setting fires when Maggie is around he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means risking his heart.

Bodyguard Christmas Trilogy – Yuletide Protector by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor

Posted on by

Any time I get a chance to read a Jane Blythe novel, my heart skips a beat. She can sure pen a romantic suspense novel that makes you want to read until the last page is turned.

Yuletide Protector (Christmas Romantic Suspense, #4)

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

Tis the season..for murder and mayhem, love and laughter, and the magic of Christmas.

Sixteen young women dead, and Ashley Fallon is the only survivor of an attack by the serial killer. BUT, he wants her and will stop at nothing to get her.

Sawyer Watson is her best friend, he has been in love with her for many years. She is oblivious. They are thrown together after the attack and he becomes her bodyguard.

Ashley loves snow, snowmen and Christmas. Don’t miracles come true at Christmas? Could one come true for her? The killer being caught so she can go back to her life. But after being with Sawyer 24/7, can life ever be normal again?

Ashley is sweet and a bit naive, but she has a lot of fight in her.

I had my heart in my throat early in the story. A woman’s worst nightmare: snatched from behind, drug into an alley, raped and, almost, killed. He revels in killing. It is fun for him and he will not stop, until someone stops him. We know he wants the one that got away, so she becomes a target.

Months have passed and Christmas is right around the corner. Knowing a showdown has to be coming, I am waiting…waiting…tension builds. Like any serial killer, he feels he has do it, whatever it takes.

Characters from previous novels make an appearance and it adds a little extra to the story. None of them have had an easy life, so they will protect their own, with their lives, if necessary. Jane Blythe’s novels do that a lot, but it’s not necessary to read the previous novels. Though, if you are just starting the series, I highly recommend starting at the beginning. I loved each and every one and she manages to make each book unique in its own way.

Being the bodyguard for a friend you’re secretly in love with isn’t easy.

Ashley Fallon narrowly survived an assault by a serial rapist and murderer, and as the only surviving victim she finds herself in need of a bodyguard after her assailant makes it clear he doesn’t like loose ends and intends to finish what he started.

Sawyer Watson is trapped in his own kind of Hell. He’s secretly in love with Ashley but as far as she’s concerned they’re just friends. Now he’s living in her house and spending his days—and his nights—with her, and while he won’t take advantage of her while she’s vulnerable he can’t help but hope that spending so much time together might make her see him differently.

A Hero Club Novel – Cocky Savior by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor #romanticsuspense

.

Cocky Savior by Jane Blythe

Amazon / Audiobook / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

This is my first Cocky Hero novel, but I feel it will fit my reading style perfectly. After all, I am a huge fan of Jane Blythe and strong female protagonists.

Homicide detective Florence Harris is in a dumpster, looking for another body of more than a dozen found in the last eighteen months. What a way to start!

Florence had left the small town of River’s End to come to New York City. Definitely lots of action here, but she came up empty in this dumpster. The Dumpster Killer is escalating and she felt sure it would be here.

Eli Lennox is a real estate mogul who had grown tired of the ladies. Maybe he hadn’t met the right one, huh? He thought he’d finally found the right one and he is in hot pursuit.

Cocky men were Florence’s Krytonite…and Eli was verrrrrrry cocky. She went for boring, dull guys…they made her feel safe. I love a confident, not arrogant man…and stability. Don’t most of us ladies? Laughs and security? And a bit of the bad boy? Just to keep life interesting.

HE wasn’t afraid of being caught. Hard to be caught, if you are never seen…until Florence. That presents a problem for him. He doesn’t plan on being caught, but he loves killing and the more he kills, the more he craves the kill.

Eli is a wooer and I love him. My Mr Wonderful was a wooer too. Persistence, patience, and a great guy can wear down the resistance of the most prickly woman.

This Pretty Woman style romance….millionaire man and woman cop…WHEW. Steamy, hot romance with a couple of serial killers thrown in for good measure, because one is never enough. LOL

Florence Harris thought if she ever fell in love it would be with someone sweet, dependable, boring.

Nope.

Turns out she likes arrogant, annoying, ego so big it wouldn’t fit in the ocean Eli Lennox.

Just because he saved her life he thinks it gives him permission to meddle in it. He’s determined to save her from herself.

Problem is she thinks she’s beyond saving.

She’s beautiful, intelligent, and the sexiest woman Eli had ever laid eyes on, and she turns him down flat when he asks her out.

That doesn’t happen to him often.

Or ever.

And it makes him determined to prove to her she’s worth every ounce of effort he’s going to put into winning her heart.

Eli Lennox always gets what he wants.

River’s End Rescues – Some Regrets Are Forever by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor

Posted on by

.

Oh yeah. A new series , River’s End Rescues, by Jane Blythe. I eagerly anticipate meeting new ‘people’ and watching how their lives grow and change through the danger and suspense Jane Blythe creates in her romantic suspense novels.

Some Regrets are Forever (River's End Rescues, #1)

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

Looking at the cover, I thought this may be a bit on the tame side, but I should never have second guessed Jane Blythe. I immediately connected to Meadow, a woman on the run…

She had just enough money to get her to River’s End.

From the moment Abe Black, the sheriff of River’s End, saw her at the diner, he became her protector. Seeing this is a romantic suspense novel, I don’t think it will stay that way. LOL

Abe had grown up in River’s End, and after the war in Afghanistan, he came home to the peace and quiet of the small town of River’s End. He became the sheriff and settled on his own plot of land. He determined it was his lot in life, to maintain a peaceful place for those to come.

I love stories that take place in small towns, a damsel in distress, and a hunkaclicious man who will save her. We quickly meet the characters that live there and they appear as if they could be our own neighbors and friends.

Abe made Meadow an offer…to stay with him until she got on her feet. It felt safe to her. It felt right, and she wondered….

She was running…from a psychopathic husband that wants what belongs to him and will stop at nothing to get IT back.

Jane Blythe has the ability to create characters and worlds that quickly draw me in, never letting me go. I loved that she found a way to write romantic suspense without the woman making some boner move that has her walking into danger. I know it’s hard to come up with new ways to create danger and suspense in the last half of the book without the woman looking like a dumbass and making a stupid move, running straight into trouble, but Jane Blythe did a bang up job of doing just that.

I highly recommend Jane Blythe’s work and can hardly wait to see what she comes up with for the next book in the River’s End Rescues series.

She will bring sunshine to his life … if he can keep her alive.

All Meadow Smith has ever wanted was to belong. Unfortunately her desire to find her place in the world led to a decision she regrets but can never take back. Now she’s on the run and has to decide if she can put her trust in another man or if she’s safer if she keeps moving. Problem is you can’t run from your problems forever.

Abe Black served his country and now he serves the people of River’s End as Sheriff of the quaint small town. As soon as he spots Meadow he knows she’s in trouble, he wants to help just like he wants to give in to his growing feelings for the sweet woman but he’s been burned before. Can he settle for just trying to keep her alive and then walk away?

Saving Seals #1 – Saving Ryder by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor #romanticsuspense

Saving Ryder (Saving SEALs #1)

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

YAY!. Another fabulous romantic suspense novel by Jane Blythe, Saving Ryder, Book I of the Saving Seals series did not disappoint. It starts out strong, keeping me rapidly ‘flipping pages’.

How Jane Blythe manages to come up with a different twist on an oft told tale, never ceases to amaze me.

What romance lover doesn’t love a hunkalicious Navy Seal and a damsel in distress?

Abby and Ryder already knew each other. In fact, he had broken it off with her twice. When his team of Navy Seals are sent to rescue a group of children who had been taken hostage, Ryder found Abby, who had been missing for fourteen months. It was a surprise to him, but she had never given up hope that she would be rescued.

She had suffered through months of torture and near starvation, but even she didn’t know how bad it really was. The truth comes out slowly…and, this time, Ryder will be by her side every step of the way. BUT, why was she taken?

Saving Ryder has all the goodies: a damsel in distress, some hunkalicious Navy Seals, mucho danger from a psychopath, and sweet romance.

Jane Blythe creates a fabulous story with lovable and loving characters. Every time I read a book like Saving Ryder, I have to remind myself how much her writing and creativity give me the suspense and thrills I am looking for. After all the books I have read of hers, she still manages to surprise me and leave me wanting more.

He’s left her twice before why should she believe this time is any different?

Abigail McNamara feels like she always has to prove herself and could never live up to her family’s expectations. Her grandfather was a SEAL, her father was a SEAL, her brother is a SEAL, and, oh yeah, her brother’s ridiculously hotter than hot hunkalicious best friend is also a SEAL. She’s loved Ryder since she was twelve but he’s broken her heart twice already and she’s vowed she won’t ever trust him again.

Every guy knows the code you don’t have sex with your best friend’s little sister. If you do you don’t get caught. If you fall in love with her you don’t break her heart. And if you earn her trust back you don’t walk away. Unfortunately Ryder “Spider” Flynn did all that. When Abigail is abducted and help prisoner for fourteen months by a sadistic sociopath that changes everything. Now all bets are off but he has to keep her alive long enough to prove to her he deserves a third chance.
