Just Read Review Blitz - Expired Hope by Lisa Phillips & Megan Besing (Review)

4/26/2023

3 Comments

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for Expired Hope
by Megan Besing & Lisa Phillips, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

She battled every fire she ever faced.
He’s risking everything for the chance to belong.

Veteran and therapist Natalie Atkinson watched her Army career explode in her face. All she ever wanted was to help people carry their burdens. Seeking a new future in Last Chance County doesn’t start so well when she’s the one being rescued from a client’s burning house. To make matters worse, now she’s stuck evaluating the truck and rescue squads for the fire department. When the chief overhears why she left her last job, she’s determined to prove to him and her boss that she’s still the right therapist to assess his crew.

No matter if success takes everything she’s got.

Fire Chief Macon James is the right man for the job. He doesn’t need a therapist interfering with the running of his crew or putting his position in jeopardy when a counselor is what tore his family apart. He’s got to get his firefighters to be a team, and he can do it without Natalie’s help. After an explosion destroys her car, it quickly becomes clear she might need him as much as everyone thinks he needs her. If these two stubborn hearts will surrender, they could have everything they want.

Or it could all go down in flames.

My Review

Can they work together long enough to stay alive?

Over the years I've read a number of Lisa Phillips' novels and I have enjoyed each one of them. When I see her name on the cover I have no hesitations and simply dive in like I did with Expired Hope, which is why...

I'll be honest, I didn't even realize that Lisa Phillips wasn't the sole author of Expired Hope until I saw Megan Besing's name at the top of the author's note section at the end of the book. The flow was so seamless that there was only a second or two when I almost subconsciously thought there might have been the vaguest of differences to the feel of the story. I was quite impressed when I figured it all out at the end.

As anticipated after reading the first Last Chance Fire And Rescue novel, Expired Hope turned out to be one exciting story. There was no let up for the characters, not even for a minute. Multiple mysteries or maybe just multiple threads of the same mystery keep them hopping and me turning the pages of my ereader. The emotion woven into the story also kept that very important element intriguing and relevant.

Megan Besing may be a new to me author but after reading her addition to the Last Chance Fire And Rescue series I will be keeping my eye out for more...

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Expired Hope by Lisa Phillips and Megan Besing a 4 Bark rating.

Just Read Blog Tour - Elite Guardians Collection 1-3 (Giveaway)

10/3/2022

7 Comments

Welcome to the Blog Tour for the Elite Guardians Collection by Lynette Eason, Kate Angelo, Sami A. Abrams, and Kelly Underwood, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Dive into the exciting ignition to the Elite Guardians Collection.

He’s the last client she wants to protect…

Elite Guardians bodyguard/former sniper CHRISTINA SHERMAN has protected uncooperative clients before—but this time, well her client is bossy, headstrong and occasionally eats off the floor. Yes, he’s a highly trained military working dog, but certainly her skills could be put to better use, right?

Not according to former Special Forces Air Commando GREY PARKER. He needs her help to protect his dog while he undergoes an experimental surgery that could restore his ability to walk. He just needs someone to keep his canine partner safe. Most of all, Grey wants back on his feet so he can track down a deranged scientist known as The Scavenger who unleashed a nerve agent that left Grey sidelined in a wheelchair.

When an attempt is made on Grey’s life, and dead bodies begin piling up—with evidence the same toxin is responsible—suddenly Christina is tasked with keeping both dog and soldier alive…and with them, the secrets that could stop a terrorist attack.

But this time, even Christina might be in over her head.

Another edge-of-your-seat Elite Guardians thriller!

Protecting him just might cost her everything…

Elite Guardian Charlie Lee knows that there is no future with the woman he loves—fellow Guardian Lizzie Tremaine. And, he gets it—as a single mom, Lizzie has to protect her daughter. But more than anything, he wants the chance to prove himself.

Then, the unthinkable happens—while working undercover, Charlie is seriously injured…and his memory of the past four years is lost. Could it be the fresh start that he didn’t realize he longed for?

Despite a friendship that’s turned flirtatious at times, Lizzie Tremaine has held Charlie at arms’ length. She’s lost all the men she’s ever loved, and is unwilling to risk her heart again. Still, she’s glad to keep an eye on him—as his bodyguard—and while she’s at it, help him put the pieces of his past together, including discovering who attacked him, and why.

But Charlie seems to have forgotten their agreed-upon professional distance—and suddenly, all the rules are off the table. She’s seeing a side of Charlie she could possibly let into her heart. Problem is, the closer he gets to uncovering his memories, the closer he gets to trouble.

It’s her heart…or his life. What will protecting Charlie cost her?

My Reviews

Driving Force

Can they figure it all out in time?

I will start right up front by making a confession. I read the second Elite Guardians Collection book before reading Driving Force. There. I said it! It was just one of those things where I didn't get my hands on book one first and I simply read them out of order. But, you know, it happened to work out just fine and I don't feel like I cheated myself too badly.

Kate Angelo is a brand new to me author but I can tell you that she has filled Lynette Eason's shoes quite nicely in this first book in the new multi-author spin-off based on the original Elite Guardians series. And, I think I'll make a second little confession here, I actually like this second series a lot more than the original.

I originally wanted to read Driving Force simply because it was part of the Elite Guardians Collection series and I had no idea that in its pages I would 'meet' one of the coolest and impressive military working dogs that I've read in Christian fiction. He really is the Boss! Okay, okay, Christina and Grey are pretty cool too.

Kate Angelo did an excellent job with this book. It was edge-of-your-seat reading and each layer of the suspense angle was well crafted – without giving too much away too soon – as everything built up toward the final showdown with The Scavenger. I did have my suspicions as to who was behind it all but you'll have to read the story for yourself to find out more. And I do recommend diving into both this book and the rest of the series...

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Driving Force by Kate Angelo a 4.5 Bark rating.

Impending Strike*

It's a race against time to remember...what?

If a person is going to start a series out of order it's always best to start with a book as good as Impending Strike. Yeah, yeah, I know this is the second Elite Guardians Collection novel but I'm a fan of Sami A. Abrams' Love Inspired Suspense, so, what the hey...

While it probably would have made more sense if I'd started with the first book in the series, I was still able to get into the swing of things pretty quickly. And, anyway, this series also just happens to be a spinoff from Lynette Eason's Elite Guardians, of which I have only read the first book years ago when it was first released. But it was Sami A. Abrams' characters that I really fell in love with. Lizzie and Charlie were the perfect couple for this story of murder and mayhem. Both are so tough and yet vulnerable – and both are hiding secrets from their past that are affecting any chance at a future together. It was also kind fun watching the bodyguard guarding the...bodyguard...

Impending Strike is most definitely a romantic suspense novel. It had everything my intrigue and pandemonium loving heart could ask for and I was kept on the edge of my seat all the way through the second Elite Guardians Collection book. This was one of those books that I didn't want to put down and because I didn't really have to, well, I just didn't...

I really enjoyed Impending Strike, Sami A. Abrams' riveting addition to the Elite Guardians Collection series. After finishing it I am definitely going to have to read the first book as well as look forward to the next one...

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Impending Strike by Sami A. Abrams a 4.5 Bark rating.

Defending Honor

Has he really changed? Can she?

I've known from the start of the Elite Guardians Collection series that Laila was going to get quite the story, any girl that is ex-Mossad has got to have something pretty impressive. New-to-me author Kelly Underwood didn't disappoint in any way, shape or form! Defending Honor was some seriously edge-of-your-seat stuff in addition to riveting and intense!

There was never a dull or quiet moment in Defending Honor, in either the suspense or romance departments. In fact, this third Elite Guardians Collection novel even had some thriller-ish scenes that got my heart pumping and my fingers turning those pages so fast I think I smelled smoke – OK, maybe that was from fire and explosions in the story, but still, you get my point...

Kelly Underwood did an excellent job as Defending Honor was one of those books that really kept me guessing. There were times when I had no clue who the mastermind could possibly be, and yet there was a niggling suspicion that kept popping up from the back of my mind. This, this is exactly why I have been enjoying the Elite Guardians Collection series so much!

This book appears to be Kelly Underwood's debut and I must say that I was quite impressed. Defending Honor fits in seamlessly with the the rest of the Elite Guardians Collection and it more than holds its own within the realm of Christian romantic suspense. I will most definitely be keeping my eye on Kelly Underwood as time goes on because, based on this book alone one can expect some really good reading from her.

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Defending Honor by Kelly Underwood a 4.5 Bark rating.

Sami A. Abrams

Sami A. Abrams grew up hating to read. It wasn't until her 30s that she found authors who captured her attention. Now, most evenings you can find her engrossed in a romantic suspense novel. In her opinion, a crime plus a little romance is the recipe for a great story. Sami lives in Northern California, but she will always be a Kansas girl at heart. She has a love of sports, family, and travel. However, a cabin at Lake Tahoe writing her next story is definitely at the top of her list.

Kelly Underwood

Kelly Underwood's favorite things are reading, writing, and drinking coffee. She was born in New Hampshire, but don't ask her about snow, because she's been a Florida girl since she was twelve. She writes book reviews for her blog bestinsuspense.com and is an active member of the Central Florida chapter of the American Christian Fiction Writers. She's a sucker for a good suspense novel, the kind you have to read cover-to-cover until the mystery is solved and the bad guys are in handcuffs.

If you're looking for her, she's probably on her back patio with a Kindle in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.
