4/5 Review:Heat of the Moment by Lori Handeland





A spell that tore three sisters apart is broken four hundred years later, when the magic in their blood reunites them. Now, one of them will discover her gift-and reignite a love long thought lost...
Flame-haired Becca Carstairs was born to be a veterinarian. Since childhood, her affinity for animals has been special, and her healing touch nothing short of magic. But only Becca knows the truth-that she alone can hear the creatures' voices. She's always trusted her sixth sense...until a string of missing pets, an attempted murder, and a face from her past converge into one explosive mystery, with her at its center. Is haunted Owen McAllister, the boy who broke her heart ten years ago, related to the sinister crimes that have peaceful Three Harbors, Wisconsin, on its guard? Or is his reappearance part of the answer to questions that have troubled her all her life? As Becca delves into her strange heritage, she'll have to fight for her life...and the man she will always love.
In the second book of this spellbinding new series, New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland delivers breath-taking danger, desire, and the dark heart of magic.

**********

I recommend it for anyone looking for a romantic read that involves witches, ghosts, wolves, and more supernatural beings.  I enjoyed reading this book and am glad that I was given the chance to continue the story of the Taggert sisters.  In this book we meet Becca, her affinity is with animals and healing.  She is the town’s veterinarian, and really good one to boot. She always thought that she was projecting her own thoughts as if it were animals speaking to her, imagine her surprise when she realizes that she can actually hear the thoughts of animals.  She also learns a lot more than she wanted to about her past and quite possible her future. One of the good things about what is happening to her is that the love of her life, Owen McAllister, is back from the Marines.  When she realizes that he is back she isn’t sure that it is a good thing, but she couldn’t fight her love and attraction for long.  Owen doesn’t realize that when he comes back home that he would find so much destruction in his old home, but should have expected it after 10 years of absence.  What he finds leads him back to Becca and a fight to keep her with him from those trying to kill her.  This book shouldn’t be read without reading book 1 in the Sisters of the Craft series, In the Air Tonight.  I can’t wait to find out what happens next for the sisters!

5/5 Review: In the Air Tonight by Lori Handeland



I have read books by Lori Handeland before but this series is great. This story gripped me from the very first page.  Living in a place your whole life knowing that you are different and not having anyone to talk to about it is a lonely existence.  That is Raye’s Larsen's life.  She can see ghosts but can’t tell anyone about it because she is afraid of what will happen to her.  She manages to make a life for herself in her town and even if she is not happy and content, she is able to enjoy some of her days.  She is a kindergarten teacher in her town and gets a lot of enjoyment from the children.  Then murders begin to happen in her town and the life she has built begins to crumble. 

Bobby Doucet is a homicide detective from New Orleans that travels to Raye’s town because something in the killings seems like some of his open cases.  He gets into town just in time to save Raye and spends the rest of the story trying to keep her alive while trying to figure out why she is being hunted.  Raye finds out things about her past that answer some questions and raise others.  While so many things are happening Raye and Bobby fall in love, but it is not easy to accept for either of them.  I totally recommend this book and can’t wait for the next one in the series.

SPECIAL EXCERPT:


HAUNTING A COWBOY - A Brand New Story from USA Today Bestselling Author Randi Alexander  When ranch foreman Thad McCade’s life is disrupted by something supernatural, he hires a ghost whisperer to clear his home. But Madam Ruby is not at all what he expected. She’s Cheyenne Redford, she wears a business suit, drives an expensive SUV, and Thad would rather have her whisper in his ear than whisper away his ghost.

Excerpt from Haunting a Cowboy: When Cheyenne finished her beer, she stood. “Well, since there’s no one but you and me here tonight, I’d better get going.” She looked out the window. Pitch black. “Could I borrow a flashlight? I didn’t think of grabbing one before I walked down here.

Thad got to his feet. “You walked?” Leaning over, he picked up his keys out of the bowl by the door. “Let me drive you back.”

“No, please.” She stepped to the screen door. “I don’t mind the walk. It’s so beautiful here, with the stars and…” She rolled one hand around, trying to come up with something else to add.

Thad grabbed a rifle from behind the door. “And night critters that are prowling, looking for their next meal.” He checked to see that it was loaded.

“Oh, I didn’t think of that. In the city, night critters walk on two legs, and carry knives.”

“I’ll walk you.” He leaned close to her.

His scent filled her mind with warm, naughty ideas as she blinked up at him, parting her lips. Would he kiss her now?

He frowned and flipped on the porch light. “After you, ma’am.”

Turning her face away, she hid the warmth that flooded her cheeks. Crap, what an imagination she had. Stepping outside, the cool night chilled her romantic notions down to manageable proportions.

They walked along the gravel drive in silence.

A howl came from a distance. In the nearby woods, scurrying sounds startled her, making her lurch a bit, and stumble into him.

Taking her elbow in his hand, he got her straightened out, but kept his hold on her arm.

The heat racing through her, starting at her arm and running all the way up and into her bloodstream, gave her chills.

“Cold?” His voice came close to her ear.

Was he making his move now? She could see the lights of Sayde’s house ahead. Would he kiss her now, or wait until he dropped her off at the door? Oh lord, those two beers had really hit her hard. She was wanting things she probably shouldn’t even be thinking about.

But if she was reading him right, and for some reason she was able to read him a little too well, he was wanting her just as much.

They stepped from the gravel road onto the concrete driveway at Sayde’s house.

He released her. “Cheyenne.” In the low illumination from a faraway yard light, his eyes glimmered.

Her intuition told her he wanted her, but was too reserved to take what he desired.

“Thad.” She stepped close to him, ran her hands from his chest up to his neck and went up on tiptoes, pressing her lips to his.

For a second, he stiffened, then he opened his mouth, the hand not holding the rifle wrapped around her waist and pulled her tight against him.

Amazing, his lips felt so firm and hot, his breath laced with beer and sexy, pure man, mingled with his woodsy scent and forced a shiver through her.

Where their hips pressed together, she could feel a bulge. She touched her tongue to his lips.

“Goddamnit.” Thad released her, stepped back, and breathed hard.

The loss of his heat against her cooled her as much as the look in his eyes. Pure terror.

“Get inside, Cheyenne. It’s not safe out here.” He growled the words and turned, walking away.
