It never fails. Just when I decide to suspend book buying for a chance to catch up with previous purchases, wouldn’t you know it, irresistible books show up.

I’m not complaining but… really? When I want books, where are they then?

On the other hand, I’m pretty happy. I double checked my purchased-books cache and there are 38 downloads between these two authors. I’ve read and enjoyed every one of them. So much so that I’m thrilled to find two more to add to the pile. They may even find themselves at the head of the TBR queue sooner than expected.

This one was my first find.

Driving Force: An Elite Guardians Novel (Elite Guardians Collection Book 1)

He’s the last client she wants to protect…

Elite Guardians bodyguard/former sniper CHRISTINA SHERMAN has protected uncooperative clients before—but this time, well her client is bossy, headstrong and occasionally eats off the floor. Yes, he’s a highly trained military working dog, but certainly her skills could be put to better use, right?

Not according to former Special Forces Air Commando GREY PARKER. He needs her help to protect his dog while he undergoes an experimental surgery that could restore his ability to walk. He just needs someone to keep his canine partner safe. Most of all, Grey wants back on his feet so he can track down a deranged scientist known as The Scavenger who unleashed a nerve agent that left Grey sidelined in a wheelchair.

When an attempt is made on Grey’s life, and dead bodies begin piling up—with evidence the same toxin is responsible—suddenly Christina is tasked with keeping both dog and soldier alive…and with them, the secrets that could stop a terrorist attack.

But this time, even Christina might be in over her head.

Explosive Truth: A Christian Romantic Suspense (Finnegan First Responders Book 1)

Stalked by a bomber!

When Devon Thompson’s car explodes at the click of her key fob, she doesn’t want to believe she was targeted on purpose. But when the next bomb is found in her apartment, she can’t ignore the fact that someone wants her dead. Trusting Captain Rhyland Finnegan with the truth isn’t easy, but soon she realizes Rhy is an honorable man who will go above and beyond to keep her safe.

As the oldest of nine kids, Rhy has spent the ten years since his parents’ death keeping the Finnegan family together. His personal life has been on hold, until now. Keeping Devon alive is a priority, yet he can’t ignore the attraction between them. When the bomber succeeds in wiring Devon to a suicide bomb, there isn’t a second to lose. Rhy risks his life for hers, but if they manage to survive, Rhy knows his next job will be to convince Devon to join the Finnegan family . . . forever.

I’m leaving quick before I’m tempted to browse anymore than I already have tonight.

Oops, I forgot. My current read is finally finished. All eight books in the collection have been read and enjoyed. Moving on, one of Colleen Coble’s mysteries caught my eye just now and I’ve rushed it to the head of the pile to be read next. Browsing the first few pages, it appears to be quite a departure from my current reads. Maybe it will be a good choice for a new one. I’ll check it out and let you know.

Dangerous Depths (Aloha Reef Series Book 3)

Sometimes life’s most precious treasure lies at Dangerous Depths.

Leia ditched a promising medical career to settle on a secluded island of Hawaii. She ditched Bane, too, and he’s come to the island to find out why. He’s also in search of a fortune rumored to lie offshore. But an act of sabotage that pushes Bane closer to Leia plunges them both into a tangle of emotion—just as a series of threatening events grip the island.

Theft, a friend’s death, a bizarre intruder, hints of a second treasure . . . and even murder—how can they sort it all out when everyone on the island has something to hide?

Colleen Coble is another one of my closely followed favorites.
