Reading log and book review from a confirmed bibliophile.

Blue Smoke and Murder ~ Elizabeth Lowell

This is the third book in the St. Kilda Consulting series.

Jill Breck is used to living on the edge. She was just doing her job when she saved the life of Lane Faroe, son of two of St. Kilda’s top notch operators. But after she inherits everything from her great aunt,who died under mysterious circumstances,  and then receives a death threat, she calls in the favor.

Zach Balfour does not like playing bullet catcher. But when Jill Breck calls St. Kilda, he is the closest operative, and takes the position, it also happens that he is the one best qualified for the specifics of this particular job.

As they run around Northern Arizona, and New Mexico, and into Nevada, they deal with the in’s and out’s of the small town, fundamentalist Mormon communities, while at the same time trying to figure out why someone would kill for what they have. And what they still need to learn about it.

Whirlpool ~ Elizabeth Lowell

This is a reprint of an older Ann Maxwell book called Ruby, I didn’t realize this at first, but since I hadn’t read Ruby, I still enjoyed it.

The book tells the story of jewelry designer Laurel Swann, whose father has stolen a previously unknown Faberge egg, and now the owners are after her for it. Along the way she meets Cruz Rowan, an ex FBI agent who is trying to recover the egg. They team up and do what they can to keep from being killed, and to return the egg to its owners.

This book has a similar feeling to it as Lowell’s Donovan series, which I loved, so I found this one quite enjoyable, can’t wait till her next release!!

Warrior

By Elizabeth Lowell, the last in the Men of the Rocking R series. The story of Nevada Blackthorn, and Erin Summers. I waited a long time for Nevada’s story. It was enjoyable… But like most of the harlequin series, the whole series is fast reads (in case you couldn’t tell by how fast the reviews were done!! LOL)

Granite Man

By Elizabeth Lowell… Third in the Men of the Rocking M series. The story of Cash McQueen and Mariah Mackenzie, it is entertaining and enjoyable. Not terribly engrossing, but perfect for a lazy afternoon’s reading.

Outlaw

By Elizabeth Lowell, Second in the Men of the Rocking M series. Good story, I keep reading these, because, they are entertaining, but not totally engrossing, and I can pay attention to the TV, or to my knitting at the same time as reading. Which is perfect for my purposes today.

Fire and Rain

By Elizabeth Lowell. This is the first in the Men of the Rocking M series, that she wrote in the early 90’s. Basically a trashy romance, in the harlequin style (in fact, they were harlequins). Modern westerns, I have read them a couple times… I enjoy them every time..

Midnight in Ruby Bayou

The most recent in the Donovan series by Elizabeth Lowell, I refuse to believe it is the last of the series, as there are two siblings left!! I always enjoy this book!!
