Flock And Roll by Vicki Hilton

Flock and Roll by Vicki Hilton is part of the shared Tuft Swallow world series written by seven different authors. All the stories are set in a cosy, small town full of charming people, all keen on bird jokes and minding each others' businesses... 

Flock and Roll is the third story in the series, and we get to meet crochet lover Rowena and currently injured hockey player Brody.

Rowena has been in love with Brody, her brother's best friend, since before he left Tuft Swallow to peruse a successful hockey career. She has since been doing her best to forget all about him. Now he is back, this is proving difficult! Judging by the sparks flying when they meet up, perhaps it is not as one-sided as she thought.

With the help from Brody, Rowena is training for a roller derby tryout over in the next town and there a some very memorable moments in the book including the snippet below describing her emergency tryout outfit:

"I looked more Stinkerbell than Tinkerbell. I shrugged. At least with all the holes, I’d be air-conditioned."

Lots of mishaps, sweet moments, tweet peepers, THE GOAT, any some of the characters from the other books are linking this story beautifully to the others on the series.

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.

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
