Happy Friday, friends. Can you believe today is the first day of June? Summer is officially here!
Since today is release day for some Love Inspired authors, I’m combining my FLF post along with a review of Jessica R. Patch’s Dangerous Obsession.
First Line
In My Opinion (Review)
If you’ve read the other books in Jessica R. Patch’s Security Specialists series, you probably caught on to the interest and attraction between the owner of Covenant Crisis Management and the resident crisis counselor. It’s been a little bit of fun watching these two argue about the couch sessions Cosette insists on but Wilder refuses.
When Cosette receives a disturbing note and tries to play it off, Wilder Flynn knows something is up with the French Cajun woman. He determines then and there to get to the bottom of it and when he discovers the issue, he’s determined to protect her from the threat.
Patch managed a whopper of a surprise in this one I did not see coming (and it takes a lot to throw me off the trail). But aren’t those the best kind of reads?
Dangerous Obsession is almost the perfect wrap up of the security specialist teams. I have to throw the “almost” in there but I can’t tell you why because it will spoil the whole story (you’ll just have to read it to find out what I mean). It was fun checking in with the others on the CCM team while Wilder and Cosette fight each other and the unknown stalker.
I, for one, can’t wait to see what Patch delivers to readers next!

About the Book
A stalker on her tail…The Security Specialists at her sideSecurity expert Wilder Flynn wastes no time putting behavioral expert Cosette LaCroix under his 24/7 protection when her stalker finds her in Atlanta. Wilder keeps Cosette close to guard her from the quickly escalating threats and attacks. But can he accomplish the mission without breaking his strict code against dating employees? Or putting his heart and life at risk?

Happy Friday!
My FLF comes from a book I will be reading shortly, Room on the Porch Swing by Amy Clipston……
Allen Lambert rolled onto his side and yawned. His eyes blinked open , and his large but dark bedroom came into clear focus. The green numerals on his battery-operated digital clock read 2: 12. What had awakened him so early?
Have a great weekend and happy reading!

Happy Friday! 🙂
Over on my blog I’m featuring the first line from Tara Johnson’s “Engraved on the Heart”. Here I’ll share the first line from chapter 14.
“Keziah wrapped the cloak around her shoulders and eased her bedroom door open, wincing at the gentle creak that echoed down the dark hallway.”
Do be sure to drop by my blog page and enter the giveaway!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I need to read some more Jessica Patch! I just finished reading A Defense of Honor by Kristi Ann Hunter… “Graham, the Viscount Wharton, heir to the earldom of Grableton, pride of the Cambridge fencing team, coveted party guest, and generally well-liked member of both Brook’s and White’s, was bored.”
Happy reading!
Happy Friday! My first line is from Mail-Order Bride Switch by Dorothy Clark:
“Garret Stevenson kicked the snow off his boots, climbed the steps to the roofed platform of the Union Pacific Railroad station and stopped.”
Oh yes, those kinds of reads are the best, when the crazy twists and turns happen and still make sense (I have read some terribly mysteries where the twist was so out of left field, it hardly made any sense and was clearly just for shock value). Happy Reading!
I’m becoming a fan of Romantic Suspense, and I do enjoy the Love Inspired Suspense books I’ve read – including one by Jessica R. Patch 🙂
One of my current reads is A Proposal to Die For, the first Lady Alkmene Cosy Mystery by Vivian Conroy:
‘Marry me.’ The whispered words reached Lady Alkene Callender’s ears just as she was reaching for the gold lighter on the mantelpiece to relight the cigarette in her ivory holder.
Have a great weekend!
On my blog, I’m sharing the first line from Tessa Afshar’s upcoming novel, Thief of Corinth, due out in July. Here I will post the first line from the novel I’m about to begin, This Wilderness Journey by Misty Beller.

“I am the luckiest man alive.”
Makes you want to read to find out why he’s the luckiest man alive, huh?! Lol!
I need to read this. I studied about crisis counseling in my counseling courses in college and it’s an interesting subject.
I’m sharing about “No One Ever Asked” by Katie Ganshert on the blog, but I’m currently reading, “The Weaver’s Daughter” by Sarah E. Ladd.
Alarm’s menacing sting picked Kate Dearborne’s consciousness and hurried her steps.
Happy reading and have a great weekend!
Considering the title…creepy first line. Oh my! Happy reading!
