Book Reviews: Books 42-43

 Book 42: Fatal Affair by Marie Force

This book was a fast pace murder mystery romance.  It kept my interest with it's many twists and turns, and while a little "more" than I usually read, it wasn't awful in that area. 
The characters were believable.  The story revolves around detective Sam Holland who needs to salvage her career after a previous investigation/arrest has a tragic turn.  The problem is the person closest to the recently found dead Senator is a former fling, and man she never quite forgot.  Now she needs his help to solve the case, but also to get on with her life.
This is the first in a series of books. I got this one for free, and don't feel the need to spend money on the second book to keep reading the series.  It isn't that the book wasn't good, I just prefer FREE!  If it ever comes up free, I might continue on with the series, until that point I'm stopping here.

I'd give the book 4 stars.

 Book 43: The Beginning by Karen Kingsbury

This book is the prequel to a new series she is writing. It was a very quick read, and as good as all of her books. She's one of my favorite authors, so that made it an easy decision on getting this book when it came up FREE on inspiredreads.com.  The story is about several characters and how they must face new beginnings after tragedy strikes their lives.  Their decisions to move on impact those around them. The next book is The Bridge, and this book certainly makes me want to read the next book in the series.

Great as always for Karen Kingsbury.
I give this book 5 stars!
