review 1: When I finished Buying Thyme, the other day I was Soooooo glad I had book 2 ( although book 1 is a HEA and not too bad of a cliff hanger - this book left me sobbing! I had to email the author ( she supplies this at the end of the book! So I bet she's had LOTS of them) At the beginning of this book, Miranda is on the run from Joe Tench, the very hot sexy, but deadly ex client who was obsessed with Miranda, enough that he gave her a mega diamond necklace! Then she is found by another of her clients, but things were not as they seemed and in the end life looks as if there is a silver lining for Miranda ( or Mia which is her real name) Unfortunately before that glimpse of a HEA happens she needs to delve back into her old life to solve her friend Murder, but first she needs t... moreo get some serious skills to help her in this assignment, she has a hard road ahead of herThere's the budding romance that she has with her Agent Handler/ mentor Nick and I was enjoying getting engrossed with the storyline. Now there were some bits that surprised me ( the technology the OCT-U had me a bit like... Oh hang on mind control guns??? Embedded chips??? Am I in the twilight zone - but then I thought who the Fk knows what extraordinary advancements these secret agency's have at their disposal, I mean I've seen a doco on a bullet they goes around corners! So I just took it at face value and got on with the story).Mia gets thrust back into Tench's radar and she has to use her wits and newly found skills to cope... And there I will leave it - other than say I emailed Ms Hamilton to voice my emotional state!But I do know that I am impatiently awaiting book 3... And also look forward to reading the companion Novella.This review is in conjunction with the review tour being run for the release of Keeping Thyme, book 3 and will be posted on my blog ' katsindiebookblog' on June 7th along with my reviews of the other books in the series.
review 2: BOOK REVIEW by Michelle 17TH DECEMBER 2013:RATING : 4.5 EXCITING JAW DROPPING STARS!!After finishing Buying Thyme by TJ Hamilton, I knew I was going to like her storytelling. Her writing is solid. I was eager to read Making Thyme. TJ merges the high-class escort world with being a special agent very well. Mia has agreed to be trained by the OCT-U, Organized Crime Taskforce Unit under Agent Nick Davis. Her mentor. The man she is having feelings for.Crime boss Joe Tench is under surveillance and Mia aka Miranda is the Agency’s way in, to get the information they need to put him away for good.I really enjoyed Mia’s training and discovering along with Mia what she is capable of. TJ spends time getting us to go through the training motions with Mia, convincing us of her capability.TJ is an ex police officer herself so she brings her knowledge to the pages. We watch Miranda the ex high-class escort become more. Much more.We almost forget her past.Miranda is left behind and Mia shows us she won’t be bound by the Agency’s rules. She is proving to them how able she is to look after herself. She can only really trust herself. It’s what works best for her.She won’t be caged and watched.Nick wants Mia. “You don’t have to be Miranda with me.” He slowly pulls me back up to his lips.“I’m going to make love to you Mia... I’m going to show you how people love each other. It’s going to be slow and it’s going to be all night... I’ve wanted to do this to you for a long time. No fast fuck. Just you and me... how it’s supposed to be.” Nick utters every word I’ve only ever imagined anyone ever saying to me.But he is also Agent Davis.Nick shows us what he is made of and how far he is willing to go to get to Tench.To bring him down.There are some fave scenes of mine in Making Thyme. Visually they were well written. I loved the use of the Opera House it brought quite a magical moment to a fave scene of mine. TJ writes about Australia and it’s landmarks but she doesn’t give us the vegemite slathered slang. This I enjoyed. Charlie is a great character, he lights up the page when he is on it. I would go on a date with Charlie. He knows how to take a girl out for the evening.Good guy.Joe Tench is the bad guy and I have to keep reminding myself what depths he will go to. TJ also showed me that vulnerable side to Joe. Joe is hurting.But, Joe also knows how to seek his own justice out and you don’t want to be on the end of bad Joe because bad Joe is a brutal killer.Tench brings out the darker side in Agent Thyme. She can’t help herself. She is Mia the agent going in and it doesn’t take long for Miranda to appear.Can Agent Thyme be let loose in Joe Tench’s world again without Miranda taking over?Will her dark desires take over?Fuck you Joe Tench! I hate you...and now you’re acting all amazing on me! I slam my head back against the sun lounge with more sexual frustration than I care to have right now.Is she strong enough to fight her darker side and get the job done?Why do you have to be so bad Joe Tench?In Buying Thyme we meet Miranda. In Making Thyme we meet Mia. Who will be the more dominant character in Keeping Thyme?After finishing Making Thyme I am literally tearing my hair out for Keeping Thyme. Anybody who has read Making Thyme will understand what I am talking about.O.M.G.I was left staring at my page.I reread the page.I stared at the page.What the hell just happened?I’ve got to say TJ packs a punch and she will have you doubling over trying to catch your breath.Bring. On . Keeping Thyme.I look forward to many more stories from TJ in the future, she believes in researching her topics and it shows in her plotting. She is an author to watch out for.Definitely. In the meantime, You Can Call Me Miranda the companion novella is due for release in January 2014.Stay tuned...Michelle less
