Posted By Svet Mori le 31 janvier 2020
Ceci est un article 100% VO, consacré spécifiquement à la gamme Love Inspired Suspense. Pour retrouver le loot généraliste et le bilan lectures, critiques et photos du mois, c’est par là :
Ce n’est pas un loot extraordinaire comparé à celui de Décembre, mais il reste assez peu de colis sur la route. Les premières précommandes sont arrivées, mais ne seront jamais assez nombreuses pour justifier un article de ce genre. Bref, vous retrouverez à l’avenir les livres de cette gamme au milieu du loot généraliste ou dans un potentiel article VO…
…and don’t trust the police.”
Framed for her boss’s murder, Sarah Peterson is on the run — with only her boss’s loyal husky, Buzz, for protection.

The police aren’t the only ones searching for Sarah and the brave dog… the real killer is on the hunt, determined to silence them for good.
Une de mes premières précommandes dans la collection. Montagne + doggo = hell yes !
A priori la série ne fera que trois tomes. Voilà, c’était ça la mauvaise nouvelle.

J’avais bien aimé l’extrait… Après deux mois d’hésitation, j’ai fini par craquer x)

Another murder leaves her with no choice — she has to trust Alex to have any chance of surviving. But when the threats against her put them both at risk, will the danger she can’t outrun cost her the man she’s learned to love ?
La bonne nouvelle c’est que si On Thin Ice a nécessité pas mal de rafistolage, Perilous Refuge, lui, est arrivé comme neuf. C’est suffisamment rare pour vraiment faire plaisir.

Yet Gavin’s growing closeness to Alexa enrages the stalker, who is determined to cancel Christmas for them… permanently.
A la base, je n’avais pas du tout prévu de prendre celui-là. Mais après la lecture de Amish Country Ambush, je n’ai pas pu résister à l’envie de découvrir l’histoire du personnage de Jackson !

Me faisait de l’œil depuis la lecture de l’extrait. J’ai fini par craquer…

Aquarium employee Olivia Smith isn’t sure why someone wants her dead — but Marine Corps pilot Brady Johnson knows a secret that could explain it.

Une de mes premières précommandes, à cause du cadre qui s’annonçait original ^^

In Wilderness Chase by Lisa Phillips, US marshal Noah Trent will do anything to protect key witness Amy Sanders when the brother she testified against escapes from prison and comes after her in the Rocky Mountains. And in Jenna Night’s Twin Pursuit, bounty hunter Lauren Dillard must battle the mountain elements and trained killers when she mistakenly tracks her target’s twin brother, Jason Cortez.
Encore des course-poursuites en montagne ^^ Ça va finir par se voir que j’ai un petit faible pour x)

Le Blue Monday a frappé et, comme d’habitude, j’y ai remédié en piochant dans ma wishlist des livres bleus !

After all, she’s the only one who can clear his father of the king’s murder. It doesn’t matter that the princess’s beauty and strength draw him to her.

Commandé fin Novembre, perdu en route, reçu fin Janvier. Bonne surprise, il est vraiment en très bon état !
Quand romantic suspense et romance royale se mêlent, ça donne ça !
Texas Ranger Alex Markham lands an unusual assignment — protecting an ambassador’s daughter on the African savanna. No one — not even wildlife filmmaker Meghan Jordan herself — can know his true identity. The stubborn but beautiful Meghan is nothing like the bookish woman he expected… and neither is his unguarded reaction to her. For the cowboy-turned-cop, the routine babysitting assignment turns into a lifesaving mission when poachers target the unsuspecting beauty. But when Meghan learns the truth of Alex’s identity, can she forgive him before their chances for a future are destroyed forever ?
Comment résister à un cadre pareil ? Lui aussi s’est paumé en chemin… mais au moins, il a fini par arriver.
A daring escape by a dangerous fugitive puts US marshals Eric Hanning’s and Hailey Shelder’s careers and lives on the line. With the criminal vowing revenge, Eric feels duty-bound to protect his risk-taking partner. He doesn’t agree with her methods, but he’s drawn to the single mom who wants to prove she can make it in a demanding job. When her daughter is almost kidnapped, Eric and Hailey go from uneasy partners to a true team. But with floodwaters threatening the town and a killer on the loose, can their newfound trust survive the final showdown that awaits them ?
Celui-là aussi a pris son temps pour arriver… tout le monde le croyait perdu, et vu les prix des tomes restants en occasion, ça me fait vraiment plaisir qu’il soit arrivé parce que j’aurais clairement pas pu le racheter.
in these True Blue K-9 Unit holiday novellas
In « Holiday Emergency » by Laura Scott, paramedic Pete Stalling vows to help Officer Faith Johnson and her loyal K-9 track her ex’s killer before her daughter becomes the next victim. And in Maggie K. Black’s « Crime Scene Christmas », Teddy Kowalski and his K-9 partner join forces with tech whiz Danielle Abbot on a deadly search to uncover a mysterious child’s identity.
Le dernier tome de la série, précommandé à l’origine sur Amazon, à l’expédition prévue aux calendes grecques, du coup j’ai annulé et commandé sur Book Depository pour le recevoir une semaine plus tard tout pile.
When guide dog trainer Eva Kendall stumbles on a dognapping, someone sets their deadly sights on her. Now she’ll do anything to find her guide-dog-in-training — except admit her most painful secret to K-9 officer Finn Gallagher. But can Finn and his K-9 partner help her track down the puppy… and uncover the criminal’s true motives before attacks on Eva turn fatal ?
… Du coup, je n’ai pas eu envie d’attendre l’hypothétique sortie en double pour me procurer les quatre tomes qui manquaient pour finir la série. D’une parce que ça n’aurait pas été avant un an, ensuite parce que rien ne garantit cette fameuse sortie double…
To take down a serial bomber, NYPD K-9 officers Brianne Hayes and Gavin Sutherland must go undercover — as a married couple. But now the bomber is targeting them to halt the investigation. As the clock ticks down, can Brianne, Gavin and their K-9 partners find the culprit in time to save the city — and their own lives ?
… donc voilà. En attendant la version Brooklyn, prévue pour Avril.
By secretly investigating the New York City K-9 Command Unit chief’s murder, reporter Rachelle Clark puts a bull’s-eye on her back.

Though he’s not happy about her true purpose, the danger is real… and he and his trusty German shepherd must save her.
Une journaliste trop curieuse qui s’attire des ennuis, c’est assez classique, mais comment résister à un berger allemand ? ^^
Injured by an attack she can’t remember, Abigail Jones knows someone’s after her, but she doesn’t know why or who. Now the man who rescued her, Officer Reed Branson, and his K-9 partner will shield her while she regains her memory. But unraveling the mystery surrounding Abigail leads to more questions than answers… and to a ruthless enemy who’s determined to take their lives.
En général, je ne suis pas fan des histoires d’amnésie, je trouve que c’est un ressort scénaristique un peu faible. Mais pas de quoi me faire renoncer à compléter la série.
When a fellow FBI agent is kidnapped and a protected witness vanishes, Leo Gallagher will stop at nothing to find them both. So when he discovers a link between the case and a single mother in Wyoming, Leo and his trusty K-9 partner rush to question Alicia Duncan. Could she be the key to locating the missing persons ? Not if a killer has anything to say about it. Someone is determined to keep Alicia from talking, so Leo and his chocolate Lab must keep her and her little boy safe on their family ranch. With danger lurking around every corner, Leo must work overtime to not lose another person who’s important to him.
… Du coup, j’ai décidé de compléter Classified aussi, puisque ça aurait été dommage qu’il s’agisse de la seule série à ne pas l’être…
Single mother Penny Potter has spent months in hiding to keep her toddler from his father, a rogue FBI agent turned fugitive. But he’s determined to flee the country with the child, and she can’t dodge him forever. When he corners Penny in the Montana wilderness and gets away with their son, she’s forced to trust his brother, handsome FBI K-9 agent Zeke Morrow. And Zeke must decide where his loyalty lies : with his sibling or the woman he wasn’t supposed to fall for. As the bullets fly and family ties are tested, Penny and Zeke will fight to save the boy who brought them together.
Celui-ci est arrivé dans les temps… mais avec un dos en accordéon alors que le truc était censé être « comme neuf ». J’ai l’impression de passer ma vie à déposer des réclamations, juste parce que les vendeurs ne sont pas foutus soit d’estimer correctement l’état d’un livre, soit de faire attention aux exemplaires qu’ils envoient.
