Fowl Play by Cassandra Medcalf

FOWL PLAY by Cassandra Medcalf is part of the shared Tuft Swallow world series, with stories written by seven different authors. 

Cornhole, I had never heard of this "sport", but apparently it's a BIG thing in Tuft Swallow, so much so that you need to practise repeatedly during the week and hours at a time - all for a game where you toss a little bag towards a target...

Kodi, The Ice Queen, is the cornhole captain and a right slave driver, pushing the team  through their gruesome training sessions. 

Brian is the new-to-town chiropractor who's outed as gay during his first week. Working with Kodi to move the focus from his recently failed relationship, their fake relationship is soon not so fake. 

Lily is THE BEST FRIEND EVER, it's just a shame Kodi is so tied up in her own struggles to see it. Everyone needs a Lily!

In similar style as That's Cockatoo Much by Kristin MacQueen, there is plenty of (somewhat) corny bird related names and puns!! Unfortunately there wasn't much of Hot Daddy or Winston in this story. I hope they both return!

I'm looking forward to the rest of the series to find out more about this adorable town! The books in the Tuft Swallows series are;

  • That's Cockatoo Much - Kristin MacQueen (print 20 April 2024, ebook 7 May 2024)
  • Tit Me With Your Best Shot - Chantal Roome 
  • Flock and Roll - Vicki Hilton 
  • Don't Give A Cluck - Karigan Hale 
  • FOWL PLAY - Cassandra Medcalf (2 July 2024)
  • This Is Hawkward - Joelle Evans 
  • No Egrets - Susan Renee

The books will be released throughout May to August. 

Fowl Play: A Small Town Sports Romance, is coming out July 2, 2024.

Hard Power, by J.B. Turner (Jon Reznick #12)

Action, intrigue, and some politics mixed into another fab Jon Reznick thriller. This is the twelfth in the series but it can be read as a standalone.  This time it's Jon's go-to hacker and computer genius Trevelle that's in trouble. Trevelle contacts Jon to ask for help after his Chinese girl friend fell / got pushed into the tracks. A parallell legal system with Chinese police station is revealed and it all feels very close to a possible real situation which makes the story even better.  To find the culprits, the relationship between Martha (FBI) and Jon is tested yet again in this story - but this time it's Martha's career that's at stake. With the pressure piling up, will she be loyal to Jon or look after herself first?  Highly recommended. The Jon Reznick thrillers are available on Kindle Unlimited and you may as well subscribe for a month or so, to read them all! Hard Power will be published on 12 March 2024, but can be preordered now. #HardPower #NetGalle...

Big Bad Boss: Midnight, by Renee Rose and Lee Savino

First things first: This book ends with a cliff hanger and after getting over that frustration, it leaves you wanting to hurry up the authors to publish the next one, and the one after that in this Werewolves of Wall Street trilogy. Brick, the lead male, is the stereotypical billionaire a-hole, going through assistants quicker than he changes his underwear - well, that's until Madison comes along and puts him in his place. She's bright, sassy and knows what she wants - enough money to pay her brother's tuition fees and to do some under cover research.   Big Bad Boss: Midnight is an amazingly well written and captivating shifter story mixing hotness and business; a shame it ended with a cliffhanger. It's publishing tomorrow 29 February 2024. #BigBadBoss #NetGalley
