Book Beginnings and Friday56
So this week I'm spotlighting not one, not two, but three books! Sorry, or not sorry, but I'm currently reading all three and enjoying all so much, want to share the reading-love.
Hours To Kill
About the book:
Just as Homeland Security Agent Addison Leigh reaches the pinnacle of her cyber investigation into a firearms smuggling ring, she's attacked and left for dead. Her estranged husband, ICE Agent Mack Jordan, is notified that she's at the hospital in a coma. He may have let his past military trauma ruin their short marriage, but she never gave up on their relationship, and he remains her next of kin.
Mack rushes to her bedside, where he promises to hunt down the man who attacked her. Mack failed her once when he bailed on their marriage, and he's not about to let her down again. But when she wakes up in the hospital, she remembers neither the attack nor ever being married to Mack. And when a second attempt to take her life is made, it's clear something very sinister is going on, and Mack and Addison are in for the ride of their lives.

THE BRUTAL KILLER put a knife to her mother's throat.
Friday 56
Her stomach knotted. "Our office could be one of them. Razo could be looking to pay me back for investigating him and make it seem like a sovereign citizen did it."
My thoughts so far
Enjoying this one. I'm listening to this on audio and I love the banter between Mack and Kylie. Mack and Addie is cute together, hope they can sort out their issues.

The Heart of a Hero
About the book:
Jake Silver may not be able to put the memories of his time as a sniper and Navy SEAL behind him, but at least he can put his skills to use as a part of the Jones Inc. rescue team. Saving the life of pediatric heart surgeon Dr. Aria Sinclair on Denali helped too. Now he can't get her out of his head, and when he hears she is in the path of a hurricane down in Key West he can't help but jump on a plane to rescue her.
Aria has dedicated her life to helping children born with defective hearts. After all, she was one of those children. Now driven to succeed, she lives a lonely, stressful life. One she would have lost on Denali if it hadn't been for Jake. Jake is exciting and handsome, but he's also dangerous, and she's already lost one person she loves. She can't bear it again.
It's not until she finds herself trapped in the middle of a category 4 hurricane that she can admit she needs Jake desperately. With their very survival in the balance, can they hope for a second chance at life . . . and love?

IN THE DAYLIGHT, Jake Silver wasn't the devil.
Friday 56
He sorta liked cats. They were like sisters - independent, smart, savvy and capable.
My thoughts so far
Jake is such a loveable hero, more to what you see!

The Thief of Blackfriars Lane
About the book:
There’s Often a Fine Line Between a Criminal and a Saint
Constable Jackson Forge intends to make the world safer, or at least the streets of Victorian London. But that’s Kit Turner’s domain, a swindler who runs a crew that acquires money the old-fashioned way—conning the rich to give to the poor. When a local cab driver goes missing, Jackson is tasked with finding the man, and the only way to do that is by enlisting Kit’s help. If Jackson doesn’t find the cabby, he’ll be fired. If Kit doesn’t help Jackson, he’ll arrest her for thievery. Yet neither of them realize those are the least of their problems.

That's quite a beginning for 'Hours to Kill'! 'The Thief of Blackfriar's Lane' really caught my eye though, that looks like a book for me! I hope you continue to enjoy all of these and that you have a lovely weekend :)
