Review: Force of Nature by Suzanne Brockmann

It's been a few weeks since I completed Force of Nature, book #11 in the Troubleshooters series by Suzanne Brockmann, but thinking about writing this review reminded me how good this book was. Ric Alvardo & Annie Dugan as well as Jules Cassidy & Robin Chadwick were great characters in this book and I enjoyed reading how their relationships developed. I liked the terrorist plot and how they tried to fool the "bad guys" but failed to do so. There was definitely some suspense in this book that kept you reading a little faster, and of course, the ending didn't disappoint. If you have been like me, and was ready to stop reading the Troubleshooters series, you should keep plugging along...I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I was, and am looking forward to the next book in this series!

Review: Instant Attraction by Jill Shalvis

This story was a good, fast read and I did like Cam Wilder and Katie Kramer.  You knew from the first time they had an interaction with the other, there was an "Instant Attraction."  Both Cam & Katie are strong but vulnerable people based on their past and both involved in separate major life-changing incidents where they both were never the same again.  I also really liked the Wilder family.  Cam's brothers and foster mother aunt who really love him, but were all very hurt when Cam decided he needed a year away to find himself after his life-changing accident.  Once he returns and meets Katie, he feels his life is slowly turning around and there might be a reason for him to stay in Wishful after all and help run the Wilder Adventures and Expeditions business.  Katie, who is the temporary help and accountant, lands in Wishful after surviving a horrific accident and needed to get away from Southern California.  With the help of Cam and the Wilder family, she overcomes fears and starts taking chances to get her life back on track again.  Both Katie and Cam realize that they are worth taking a chance on each other after all.

This book was really good and look forward to the remaining books in this Wilder series.
