COLD TRUTH by Toni Anderson

As always, Toni hits it out of the park with this one!

Librarian and amateur sleuth Rowena Smith never expected her search for her biological father to end in murder. But when her research leads her to a bloody crime scene and the card of FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kurt Montana, she makes a desperate call for help.

Kurt, a hardened FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader, is ready to head home after a failed undercover op—until Rowena’s voice stops him cold. Minutes later, the flight he should have been on crashes, killing everyone onboard. Kurt knows one thing: Rowena just saved his life.

Now they're on the run through southern Africa, hunted by powerful, unknown enemies who will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried. Forced into hiding, they fake a relationship to stay one step ahead—but their chemistry is all too real.

As danger mounts and secrets unravel, their fake romance turns into something raw, intense, and deeply personal.

BALD-FACED LIAR by Victoria Helen Stone

I devoured the audiobook in a single day.

Traveling nurse Elizabeth May has a promising new home in Santa Cruz. And another new identity. It’s a pattern of reinvention for a woman escaping her traumatic childhood—and hiding from the decades of notoriety and destruction that followed. Invisibility has kept Elizabeth safe. Until now. After all these years, someone sees her for who she is.

Threat by threat, a vengeful stalker is dismantling Elizabeth’s carefully constructed lifetime of lies. And no one in her temporary circle can be trusted—not her fleeting new love interest, not the supportive friend she knows only from online forums, and certainly not the police. They’ve never been there for her.

As fear sharpens to terror, Elizabeth soon discovers something about her past that even she didn’t know. The revelation could finally set her on a path of healing and redemption. Or, now alone in the dark, it could be Elizabeth’s worst nightmare.

CROWN OF WINGS by Jennifer Chance

I am eagerly waiting for the audiobook for this one as I LOVED LOVED LOVED the first book in the series.

She was never meant to fight—and certainly never meant to win.

But can she make the ultimate sacrifice to save them all?

To avenge her brother’s murder, Talia of the Tenth entered the deadly Tournament of Gold in his place…and actually won. Now, as the head of her own great house and bound to a massive magical Divh, she faces an even greater challenge: saving the Protectorate from the dark, writhing evil streaming over their western borders.

As if rescuing a realm wasn’t complicated enough, Talia also finds herself caught between two powerful and exasperating allies: Fortiss, the dangerous new lord protector whose embrace of ancient magic could unleash something far worse than death; and Tennet, the arrogant, bullheaded warrior she was supposed to marry—and the last man she’d ever choose. Probably.

With darkness closing in, Talia must navigate ancient prophecies, deadly magic, extraordinary otherworld realms, unexpected alliances and devastating betrayals…until she’s forced to make an impossible choice: risk everything she loves—or watch her world burn.

For only the warrior willing to give up everything can wear the CROWN OF WINGS.

THUS WITH A KISS I DIE by Christina Dodd

This is next on my to-listen list! Can't wait to return to fair Verona and see if Rosie chooses the prince or Lysander. I have a definite preference but I won't say who, unless your name starts with Christina and ends with Dodd and you promise to give me what I want.

The delightfully irreverent eldest daughter of the not-so-ill-fated Romeo and Juliet returns to sleuth another day in fair Verona, in this hugely entertaining historical mystery series with a refreshingly bold premise.
​
​“Woe, for I am the bug that meets the windshield's might,​
​No longer the speeding glass, smooth, clean and bright . . .”​
​
You’re right. I, Rosie Montague of Verona, am lousy at iambic pentameter and Shakespeare speak, but you get the point: Sometimes you’re the windshield and sometimes you’re the bug. I, who for my whole life, have cruised along, unruffled by life’s trials, am suddenly smashed flat and speeding recklessly up the WhattheHellHappened Highway.
​
Why? you ask . . .
​
I’m 20-years-old and by my own design, never been wed, free as no married woman ever is. I’m beautiful, but without conceit, for Juliet, my legendary Mamma is the most gorgeous creature to ever walk the earth. Just ask Romeo, my legendary Papà. (Rumors of their deaths were premature.) I was heartwhole until I fell (literally) in love with Lysander of the House of Beautiful. But our love was not to be, for I was thwarted by Escalus, the Prince of Verona . . . who had designs on me.
​
I’m trapped.
​
Then! I’m presented with a solution. Escalus’s father, Prince Escalus the Elder, appears to me. He tasks that I find his killer. Did I mention Elder is a ghost?
​
Given that I only recently dispatched Verona’s first serial killer, I’m less than pleased. Yet Elder promises to unite me with my One True Love, so I gather clues. Meanwhile, revolution threatens, for beneath Verona society’s glittering surface lurk dark shadows—and an enemy eager to make me a tragic heroine in my own right . . .

Happy reading!
