Description from the publisher:

Veronica Harper was ready to let bygones be bygones. She'd spent enough years fighting tooth and claw to know that nobody won in a drag out brawl. It was better for all parties to come to the peace table. But being the leader of a Bear Shifter Clan meant many things, the most important of which was to be the kind of leader that the rest of the Clan would follow. That meant never losing face. Even if the person you're staring down is a handsome hunk with more charm than he realizes.

Slade Walker knew things were tense. This Clan rivalry was close to spilling into a war, and he didn't know how many casualties would be on each side. Too many, surely. But these women just wouldn't leave his Clan alone. From the problem with the hives to the fires and now this, someone had to make it clear to them that this was unacceptable. He hoped this would be a simple sit down and parley, but as soon as he laid eyes on their gorgeous leader, he knew he was in over his head.

This 15,000+ word novella has hot Bear Shifter action, a Happily Ever After, no cheating and no cliffhangers!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

SLADE is the fifth book in the 120 Proof Honey.  Though each stands on its own, it’s better to read them all and in the order of release.

With great emotion, the series is brought to a satisfying end.  First Slade and Veronica had to deal with Christina and clan drama.  They proved that they were strong leaders and stronger lovers.

As always, Becca Fanning brings steam and sexiness with plenty of heart and happiness.  Though this series may be over, I can’t wait to see what may be next.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Description from the publisher:

What should have been a routine afternoon on the witness stand for forensic handwriting expert Claudia Rose ends in a shocking assault.  Then, her getaway trip to the UK intended lands her in trouble with the FBI, New Scotland Yard, and her fiancé, LAPD Detective Joel Jovanic.  Jovanic's homicide case has followed Claudia to London where she finds herself unexpectedly allied with the chief suspect.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WRITTEN OFF is the sixth book in the Forensic Handwriting series.  For some reason the audiobooks are being released in the opposite order of the books, starting with seven and working our way backwards.  Since they each stand on their own, this is not a problem (except for her relationship with Joel Jovanic being run backwards).

Reading about Claudia’s world makes me wish I too were a handwriting expert.  What would I need to add to my education?  How do you gain the notoriety needed to be accepted as a witness in court?  Would I be good at it?  So many questions!  I love the bits I learn as I read these stories.

Now back to the story… Edge of the seat, outstanding, amazing, superb…. Am I making myself clear?  If you love suspense mystery, this is a story and a series for you.  The writing is crisp, the characters are warm, and the mystery is unique and suspenseful.

Narration:  Again, Anna Crowe is an amazing narrator.  She does a superb job of bringing all of the characters to life.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audiobookboom, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
