Dangerous Illusions Review

Trish Bailey is on overload trying to deal with a demanding job, an ailing mother, and a healing heart. When a series of unsettling memory lapses leads to a tragic death--and puts Trish under police scrutiny--her world is once again thrown into turmoil.

Detective Colin Flynn isn't certain what to think of the facts he uncovers during his investigation. Did Trish simply make a terrible mistake or is there more to the case than meets the eye? As he searches for answers, disturbing information begins to emerge--and if the forces at work are as evil as he suspects, the situation isn't just dangerous . . . it's deadly.

Dangerous Illusions is the first book in the Code of Honor series by Irene Hannon. Once again Irene gives us an amazing new series to fall in love with. Trish is a character that from the beginning my heart immediately went out to. The mystery/suspense that filled this books pages to the brim had me on my seats edge the whole time. As with past books, I love how Irene jumps from the POV of the main characters to the villain. It always make me feel more involved with the mystery. Another great book and I can't wait for the second in the series!

Too Far Down Review

When an explosion kills men and damages the CR Mining Company, the Bodens realize their troubles are not behind them as they thought. Shadowy forces are still working against them. 

Cole Boden finds himself caught between missing his time back East and all that New Mexico offers. Sure he fights with his siblings now and then, but he does care for them. He enjoys running the mine and, when he's honest, he admits that Melanie Blake captures his interest in a way no other woman ever has.

Melanie has been a friend to the Bodens forever. A cowgirl who is more comfortable with horses and lassoes than people, she never expected to find herself falling for someone. Particularly for refined Cole Boden, a Harvard graduate who may not stay long at the ranch. She's determined, however, to help the Bodens finally put an end to the danger that's threatened all of them. But will putting herself in harm's way be more dangerous than anyone expected?

Too Far Down by Mary Connealy is an amazing conclusion to her Cimarron Legacy series. Mary's done it once again, with her signature humor, romance, and action. I loved both Cole and Melanie and their story is the perfect wrap up to this series. I've fallen in love with this family and while I'm sad to see this series come to an end, Too Far Down was a great ending. These two characters with their differences and chemistry make up another amazingly written pairing by Connealy, I can't wait to read what she comes up with next!
