review 1: A Cutthroat Business 4 stars - really enjoyed both the mystery and romanceEx who wouldn't die - didn't read this one as I'm not keen on ghost storiesA Touch of Ice - couldn't get into this oneThe Chase 1 star - got about half way through this one and realised that I didn't care enough to find out what happened.The Secret Ingredient 3 stars - OK on both the mystery and romanceLet us Prey - 3 stars - good mystery, so so romanceThe Throwbacks - completely unbelievable 1st chapter, I read no further.I only paid £1 for this on Kobo consider the first story more than worth that, hence the 4 stars overall, might not have been so generous if I'd paid more.
review 2: I dipped in and out of this book of novellas by different authors over quite a long period of time in b... moreetween other, longer books. A Cutthroat Business by Jenna Bennett:Really enjoyed this book. Characters that were endearing and interesting and a good whodunit plot based around the disappearance of an estate agent/realtor. Nice length and held my interest. Prompted me to seek out other work by the author.The Ex who Wouldn't Die by Sally Berneathy:A fun and interesting novella, but not as good as the other books and did not stand up to being placed between two really good books. I did enjoy it, but not nearly as much as the other books here. A Touch of Ice by L. J. Charles:I absolutely loved the main character Everly and could clearly see her in my mind's eye. The murder mystery story and Everly's budding romance with Mitch intertwined throughout which was a great touch, and I found this one very hard to put down. The romance is emotionally descriptive without being slushy or too graphic, and I found myself rooting for Everly and Mitch to get together, and delighted when they seemed to be heading in that direction. I've since downloaded the rest of the Everly Gray series and some other work by this author. Great stuff!The Chase by Adrienne GiordanoI found this really slow to start, and I almost gave up a couple of times. Once it got going it was quite good, but not great. I think the slow start would put people off reading this, there is nothing to grab your attention straight away.The Secret Ingredient by Misty EvansLiterally could not put this book down. Perfect mix of mystery, murder and romance, with a good bit of revenge thrown in for good measure. Love the characters and looking forward to reading more of Misty Evans' books.Let us Prey by Jamie Lee ScottI really enjoyed this book - the combination of a murder to solve and a will they/won't they romance was great, lots of twists and turns leading to a happy ending, adorable characters in Mimi and Nick, with great supporting characters, particularly Charles and Lola the dog. Fast-paced and engrossing, I loved it.The Throwbacks (Book 1: The Scotland Yard Exchange Programme Series) by Stephanie QueenThis book was quite well written with just the right amount of both crime-fighting and romance. Not by any means a traditional romance story, this will they-won't they tale is one of Grace and David and their twenty-something age gap. The story is really fast paced, lots of exciting crime fighting happening along the way, murders and the small matter of the two main characters trying to fight and deny their feelings for each other. I found it hard to put down, especially once the crime elements went up a notch and the romance started on it's on/off journey. Good stuff, I'll be looking out for more stuff by Stephanie Queen. less
