Kathleen Turner Series

Kathleen Turner Series

Last year, I fell in love with the Kathleen Turner series by new indie author Tiffany Snow.

There are 3 main characters that you should get familiar with:  Kathleen Turner, Blane Kirk, and Kade Dennon.

Kathleen “Kat” Turner is a young, bright-eyed legal assistant by day and waitress of a local sports bar by night.  She is working an extra job so that she can save up and put herself through college.  Her goal at the beginning of the series is to be a lawyer or another profession within the legal field.  She likes animals and Britney Spears.  She is intimidated by Blane Kirk and develops a crush on him.

Blane Kirk is one of the partners at the law firm where Kathleen works.  He is tall, blonde and handsome with an athletic build.  He is incredibly smart and has political ambitions that stretch beyond being a lawyer.  He is one of the partners at the law firm where Kathleen works. He is a sharp dresser and always manages to look as if he just stepped off of the pages of GQ.  He also has a bit of a reputation for being a womanizer.  That is, until he meets Kathleen.

Kade Dennon is a mystery.  He is tall, dark and handsome.  He is a computer hacker and assassin. He is also Blane Kirk’s brother.  While Kade lives on the dark side, he holds many secrets.  Kade is also a silent partner at the law firm where Blane and Kat work.  Kade is initially hired to kill Kathleen but has second thoughts once he sees how much his brother cares for her.

Aside from the 3 main characters, the Kathleen Turner series has many lovable and not-so-lovable characters to embrace.  There are 5 books in the series in total.

Tiffany Snow does a wonderful job with the story and the characters.  I found myself drawn into the lives of Kat, Blane and Kade.  Each book left me breathless.  The action, the suspense and the mystery kept me hanging on until the end.  There is of course a love triangle… but you will have to read the books to find out which guy ends up with the girl. 😉

I give the Kathleen Turner series a Rating of 4 stars.

4-star

Bold Tricks by Karina Halle

Bold Tricks by Karina Halle -- book review

Bold Tricks is Karina Halle’s thrilling conclusion to The Artists Trilogy.

Javier, Ellie and Camden are reluctant allies on the run from Travis Raines and his cartel.  To say that things didn’t go as planned is the understatement of the century.  Now that Travis knows who Ellie is and that Javier is involved, he will stop at nothing to take them down.

The awesome threesome plan to take down Travis and rescue Gus.  Lots of loose ends to tie up from Shooting Scars!  Both men are indeed in love with Ellie… but who will she choose, if anyone?

Since the ending of the first book in the series, Sins and Needles — I have been team Ellie all the way!

Bold Tricks is a fitting title for this book.  All throughout the book I had wondered how long Camden was going to be able to survive.  I wondered whether or not Ellie would choose one of them or choose herself.  I asked myself would Javier meet his ultimate goal of being the highest power in the cartel and get the girl too?  All of these questions were answered and more!

I have to say, Javier is one of those characters who is hard to completely hate.  He seems to have his own special code of morality and ethics.  While he’s totally a bad guy…. he isn’t a bad guy.  If that makes sense?  I found myself not necessarily rooting for him to win… but more or less rooting for him to live.

In this book, Ellie grew leaps and bounds and figured out that life is not black and white.  I think Camden finally came to that same conclusion as well.  Even though in the first book he was very much black and white with his thought process.

This book is really good and concludes beautifully.

My Rating For Bold Tricks:

4-star
