Characters: Jeb
Anderson and Sophie O’Brien
Synopsis: Someone
is stealing valuables at a very pricey and very exclusive old age community.
This place is the place to retire to and someone is running around exploiting the
elderly and taking valuable jewelry out of locked safes. Jeb Anderson is a
retired Army Ranger whose twin brother, Judd, is also in the service and is
currently stationed overseas but is on leave. Jeb has taken the job of finding
out who is stealing the valuables and his first suspect is Sophie O’Brien, a
vivacious and pretty massage therapist who owns her own farm and makes soaps
that are sold at the retirement community. But, Sophie’s not his thief and
there are dark secrets hidden in her closet. Can the two come together to find
the jewel thief in a retirement community where the residents act like it’s
spring break all year long?
Review: This
was a very cute, quick, and well written read. I loved the backstory on both
main characters and how Rhonda Nelson really pulled you in to the plot from the
very beginning. Sophie’s back story kind of came to an abrupt ending which I
think might have been a little more dramatic is it had been drawn out and
played with a little more, but, overall, it was a good book.

Characters: Jamie
Flanagan, Audrey Kincaid
Synopsis: Jamie
Flanagan owed Colonel Garrett a favor. How else would he have ended up at a “distressing”
camp in Maine called Unwind? No on his own, that’s for damn sure. This tough as
nails ex-US Army Ranger would rather be back on the battlefields than painting
pictures and talking about his feeling. And the only thing he’s feel right now
is hot for the girl he’s supposed to be guarding, Audrey Kincaid, owner and
proprietress of Unwind … and Colonel Garrett’s granddaughter. A raven haired
beauty, Audrey left the world of financial analysis after having a heart attack
at age 26. Now she’s stuck with an emotional vampire of a boyfriend who is
asking her to marry him (with the ultimatum that he will dump her if she says “no”)
and a hot, hot, hot colleague of her grandfather that is having trouble getting
over the death of a battle buddy. What’s a girl to do?
Review: This
was another well written, great, quick read. I was kind of hoping to get Judd
Anderson’s (Jeb Anderson’s twin from The Professional (the first part of
this book)) story but Jamie’s story was very good also. After reading these two
stories, I do plan to go out and get the rest of the books in this series.
In my opinion, this book gets:
