Under the Hood by Juanita Kees

Reviewed by Desere


I have learned that a good action suspense read intertwined with romance needs to have enough action drama to get your attention to want to get to the bottom of the mystery but also enough heat between the two main characters to bring you that feeling of breathlessness and pure joy when it all comes together in the end.

In the new read from Juanita Kees I got all that and so much more. The story is about TJ she is a kick ass heroine that does not back down from what she wants and goes after anything and everything with her heart and soul.

She meets her match in sexy-I'll-make-your-engine-purr Scott when he comes striding into town and goes to great lengths to get what he wants, her car dealership and he is as relentless in getting it as he his hot!

The characters were both extremely well written and the author really used the fact that both are strong willed to bring some truly delightfully entertaining moments of conflict that gave me as reader the heat and passion I was looking for in this read.

The backdrop setting of a town in Western Australia was perfect it showed the heat of the land down under perfectly in tune with the heat between TJ and Scott (by the way Juanita I totally love that he hero's name is Scott it matched his personality perfectly).

I liked the mystery in this one very much it gave me as reader all the elements of danger with a twist and more drama lurking in the darkness keeping me on the edge of my seat for the read of a lifetime!

The dialogue was absolutely stunning as the author really let the words flow effortlessly and let me complete this read in just under two hours.

I also liked that the ending left room for another book as the mystery ended on a there is more to come note.
I highly recommend this read for all Juanita Kees fans and lovers of romance with loads of action!

Excellent work Juanita keep them coming!

Fly Away Peta by Juanita Kees

 

Reviewed by Desere


Every parents fear comes true for Peta when her ten year old daughter Bella is kidnapped. Peta immediately goes into overdrive for the fight of her life to save her daughter from the clutches of her ex husband.

The heighten the suspense Peta's first and one and only true love Jaime returns to town and right back into her life.

To add to the mystery Jaime is the father of Bella and he has no idea. So that leaves Peta fighting to get her daughter back,keep the truth from Jaime and her trying all the way to keep her own heart safe.
And just like that the book took on a whole new meaning of secrets, mystery, action suspense and romance.

I loved and adored each and every character in this book,I was left with impressions of strong, independent  strong willed, caring and also scary, vile and just plain despicable.

Yes the book had all kinds of main and secondary characters not to mention loads of action, intrigue and emotion. I found myself thinking more than once that having your child kidnapped has to be one of the worst feelings of dread and the author so perfectly conveyed those feelings to me as reader that I felt true sadness and despair for poor Peta (btw Juanita I love the unique name).

The backdrop setting of the town of Williams in Western Australia was perfect. The author has a unique style of writing,combining real life situations with a the perfect ending. I recommend this read for those seeking a action packed, dramatic, realistic,romantic and suspenseful read!

Fly Away Peta is such a rush. A rush of adrenalin, a rush of emotion, a rush of adventure, a rush of feelings!

Fast paced and dramatic we jump straight into the story.  Peta's daughter has been kidnapped by her ex husband and she's in the middle of negotiations to get her back when Jamie rolls back into town.  The atmosphere accelerates into high gear and I was held in suspense the whole way thru.  Jamie also happens to be Peta's past love and is soon embroiled in Peta's drama. Together with Peta, her bodyguard and her big brother the four of them race the clock to find Peta's ex husband and daughter.  There are wild goose chases, dramatic chases, blasting confrontations and nerve-wracking tense scenes mixed in with Jamie and Peta fighting their past feelings for each other... how will Jamie react when he finds out Peta's number one most important secret?

What a fantastic story that I'd recommend if you're looking for a bit of drama to spice up your day. The hours flew by as I buried my nose in this book, unable to come up for air till I had run out of pages.

Loved it!
