BLOG TOUR: Wickingham Way (A Harbour Falls Mystery #3) – S.R. Grey + Review & giveaway!

Released: January 19th, 2014

When Maddy Fitch discovers there's a hit out on the love of her life--the handsome, but often secretive Adam Ward—she concludes life with such a powerful man may never be normal.

But who wants normal? Not Maddy—mystery writer and sometimes-sleuth.

The heart-stopping action begins immediately in Wickingham Way when an attempt is made on Adam's life, prompting the couple to seek refuge at a "safe house."

Tucked away in a cabin deep in the heart of Maine, Maddy and Adam fall deeper in love. But their happiness is cut short when someone they care deeply for is kidnapped, by the same organization that wants Adam Ward dead.

Adam and Maddy return to Harbour Falls, and a dangerous cat-and-mouse game ensues. Twists and turns abound, keeping Maddy and Adam on their toes. But will the consequences of the decisions they must make prove deadly?

Only time will tell.

Final novel of A Harbour Falls Mystery Trilogy. Romantic Suspense/Contemporary Romance/Mystery genres. 

*Mature themes, graphic sex, violence*

"The past always has a way of catching up to you."

**ARC PROVIDED BY AUTHOR**

An amazing ending to an amazing trilogy. This is probably one of the romantic suspenses that I love! S.R. Grey pulls us in with a cliffhanger at the end of each book. But here, it all unravels. This novel is sexually charged and electrifying. Intense and exciting. Just a fantastic book!

Okay, the second book was definitely BEST by far because of the secrets that were discovered and also the tension and suspense. The first one was okay but the mystery just wasn't as exciting. This book made me pissed at Maddy because, to be fucking honest, she's someone who can't look at a damn situation. But I'll elaborate more later.

Although I must admit this is the perfect ending to the trilogy because it all unfolds here, but of course there are also the imperfections.

Adam is definitely my favorite. He has his secrets. He is a wealthy man after all. But damnnnn. He's so goddamn sexy and smart. HE'S A TECH-GEEK WHICH IS WOW. I'm a sucker for sexy nerds, just saying. But Adam is the type of guy who knows how to act in every situation. He doesn't behave or think stupidly.

And since all the secrets were discovered, they got even closer to each other.

In my relationship with Adam, with all the secrets and mysteries finally behind us, I felt closer to him than I had at any time during our first six months together.

Then there's Maddy. My God, this frustrating woman.

She was pissing me off throughout most of the book. I mean, I really liked her in the first two because she's this daring woman who's willing to dig into a mystery people have been avoiding for a decade. But the fact that she's an amateur who acts like a pro pisses me off.

I HATE HOW SHE NEVER TRUSTS HER INSTINCTS. Dude, if you want to investigate something, even if you're fucking paranoid, might as well confide in Adam. But does she do that? Nooo. Does she tell him when she felt followed? Nooo.

One of the situations that she DOESN'T know how to act in was when she felt like she was being followed and didn't tell Adam sooner. When she did, they had to leave for safety, and yet…

I really wished we could still try out the new restaurant, maybe grab a takeout order at the very least, but I knew not to press the issue. 

Well, no fucking shit, Sherlock. You're getting hunted down and you're thinking about food. I just…

Anyways, but the rest of the book is actually pretty damn good. The intense situations, the supporting characters, the plot. A great read.

[Review] Paris Love Match - Nigel Blackwell

Released: May 2nd, 2013

Piers Chapman had seen Paris,
In pictures,
In movies,
In books.
What he hadn't seen was the mobster.
Or the dictator.
Or the trained killers.
Or the diamonds they were chasing.
But it was Paris,
The city of light,
The city of love.
And a girl had already stolen his heart.
What could possibly go wrong?

"Paris is not a city. It's an idea, a dream, a hope."

I judged this book too fast from the cover. I thought, hey, that's a gorgeous cover! Then I read the blurb, I was like, whoa, this looks amazing! And then I read it. I'm so sorry to say that this book was just such a disappointment to me. I was looking forward to diving into this book, expecting it to be action-packed, smoking hot, intense, and also romantic. Unfortunately it was neither of those. The characters were okay overall, even though the idea of the plot was great! The book actually started out pretty good with somewhat hilarious banter, the incident that triggered everything else, and the chase. But then it just had a major downfall. I don't know what happened but there was no suspense in the action, no chemistry in the romance. Nada. The only thing that saved this book was the ending, which I liked because Piers was clever and it was pretty tense.

Now, let's start with the character I really loved. Piers Chapman. He was so damn adorable! He was awkward and odd, but also very intelligent. He's a freaking programmer for goodness' sake. But I really liked his character. He was really peculiar in a way, not the stereotypical heroes I usually see in books who were cocky and confident. Yes, he was pretty fit but he was so awkward. His easily-embarrassed personality is definitely refreshing.

Onto the character that I absolutely loathed. Sidney pissed the fuck out of me. She was annoying as hell. I mean, Piers was really considerate towards her, he thought of her for everything. But did she care? No, she was a selfish bitch. What I didn't get was how they didn't notice that they were being tracked from the dead guy's cell phone? I mean, obviously. I don't know, I'm just really angry with her. Sidney underestimated Piers and then there was no sign of romance at all. Suddenly, BAM! They like each other? Bitch please.
