Review: On Her Father's Grave - Kendra Elliot

Review : On Her Father's Grave - Book #1 Rogue River Novella Series - Kendra Elliot - October 2014 People who know me well and those who often read my reviews will know that I have this weird tendency to read series out of order. It is never intentional, it just seems to happen more often than not. This particular series is one that I have read out of order over the years. I have finally finished it and funnily enough with Book #1. It's a good thing that I do remember what I read as I started this book and was instantly transported to the town of Solitude, Oregon, and remembered the other books I have read in this series. So in a way, this was like reading a prequel to the series Rogue River. Stevie has just arrived in town after living it up in the big city and returned to the police force that her father had previously been the chief before he died. Carly is currently in the process of getting a divorce from Seth which we know in later books, she finally goes back to him as...

Review: Gone to Her Grave - Book #2 Rogue River Series - Melinda Leigh - October 2014 So this seems to be another series I have read backward as I had previously read Books #3 and #4 and now this is Book #2. The good thing about this series is that they can be read as a standalone and at the same time they do connect.

If you love mysteries then Melinda Leigh is an author to discover as she not only writes smalltown set mysteries but she has a sense of community and family despite the dysfunctionality of some of the families. In Rogue River, we have Carly - who is a social worker and is currently separated to husband Seth who is a police officer. Carly has moved home after her father who was the sheriff died of a heart attack which in later books was revealed to be something of a more sinister nature. In Book #2 we have Car...

Review: Burned by Her Devotion - Book #2 Rogue Vows Novella Series - Melinda Leigh - November 2016 This sleepy town of Solitude is about to get woken up again as a popular reality TV star who was in town filming his cop show Chase Ryan has turned up murdered and then on top of that, the night before a female stalker tried to bomb and set fire to a barn which contained Carly and Seth's daughter Brianna inside. Brianna is nice and safe and Toby who was Chase's friend and assistant is sitting in prison after confessing to the murder and the stalker is off in the wind. It seems they have things nicely tied up but of course, things are never that simple in Solitude, Oregon as our first incident happens when Seth and his partner are transporting Toby in the back of their squad car and they are hit by a truck. The book then has Seth and his friends on the force hunting down for Toby who is now on the run. Meanwhile, Carly has her hands full as our stalker had a you...
