Tailspin ~ Catherine Coulter

This is book twelve in the FBI series.

Someone is trying to kill Rachael Abbot. She manages to survive being drugged and dumped in a lake while tied to a block of cement, and now is on the run, trying to get to her uncle, who can help her hide while she figures out what to do. When suddenly her car quits, just a few miles from her uncles house, and as she starts the walk into town, an airplane falls out of the sky right in front of her.

FBI Agent Jack Crowne was able to make the crash survivable, despite the bomb that went off on board, and he and his passenger are still alive, but they have no clue were they are, and they need medical help.  Rachael helps pull them from the wreckage and gets them into town but hides from them why she is really there, until the FBI shows up and more attempts are made on her life.

Also featured is a great deal more of Special Agents Savich and Sherlock and their family life, which was much overdue in my opinion.

Afterglow ~ Catherine Coulter

Chelsea is a flamboyant, Californian romance writer, David is a stuffed shirt, Bostonian doctor, what on earth could they possibly have in common? When a mutual friend decides to fix them up they will find out. More than once the fur will fly! This is a pretty good romance, it predates Catherine Coulter’s FBI series, but there is the same basic style, if none of the mystery elements. I enjoyed it.

Point Blank

By Catherine Coulter.. I finally got my hands on it… I have been waiting for it for 6 months, since it was first published! I loved it, couldn’t put it down… #10 in this series was as good as the beginning, and much better than #9. Don’t get me wrong, Blowout was good…. Just not as gripping or engrossing as most of the rest of the series, or even most of Coulter’s other works. I love the continuing story of Sherlock and Savich and all the people they deal with. Sometimes I can figure out the ending before it happens, but not often in this set. This is defiantly a series to reread often and get more and more out of!! I can barely wait till the next book in the series comes out… And it isn’t even announced yet WHHHHAAA!!!!

Lord of Raven’s Peak

Another entertaining novel, if not entirely engrossing, still, pretty good… Did finally link the first book with 2, 3, and 4, but it is a tenuous link, just mentioning a pair of characters from the first book. Not a bad romance series, I recommend it, but not one for someone who needs something more involving and in-depth.

Lord of Falcon Ridge

I managed to start reading the wrong book for the next in the series, and by the time I realized it I was already 1/4 done…. But that is ok… I do now see the connection in books 2, 3, and 4… Still don’t see the connection with book 1, but maybe that will come with the reading of book 2… Which I will start shortly… Lord of Falcon Ridge was entertaining, but nothing outstanding.. It just didn’t keep you from putting it down, like some of Catherine Coulter’s other work (namely her FBI series…)

Lord of Hawkfell Island

Not bad, but not outstanding either… We shall see if the next two tie these together in any manner… So far they are just Viking novels.

Season of the Sun

First in Catherine Coulter’s Viking series… Basically a Viking romance… Entertaining, but nothing deep. Still, it kept my interest long enough for me to finish it and start the second in the series…
