Providence Island Book 5

Mystery Romance

Date Published: 02 November 2021

Publisher: RedBird Books

 

 

A man denies his emotions to save the lives of other. A woman closes her
heart to hide the pain. A child yearns for someone to trust.

 Former hitman Ben Hampshire gave up everything to keep his honorary mother
Dana Canfield safe. Settled into a peaceful life on Providence Island,
he’s found the woman of his dreams but can’t make himself say “I
love you”.

 Stacy Andrews shunned long-term relationships until she met a man with a
brain as sexy as his body. She’s head over stiletto heels in love with him,
but those words aren’t in her vocabulary either. The secret she’s
hiding might make Ben change his mind about their life together. If
that’s not enough, her troubled eight-year old nephew coming to live
with them could be the tipping point.

 Ben finds himself in the spotlight after two murders occur. The first to
find both bodies, he’s holding back evidence that points toward
Dana’s husband as the perpetrator. If he can’t stop the killer, Ben’s
future may turn into a happy never after.

 

 

Review

Get lost in this mystery, the story and characters that Dianna Wilkes has created are so easy to be captivated by.

This is part of a series in which each book features a different set of characters and a different mystery. I have read a few, but need to go back and catch up.

This book had not just a set of great main characters, but I felt like I connected to them and their secondary counterparts right off the bat. That is something that really helped me get invested in the story.

I liked that this was a mystery that had a unique premise and it was very well executed. Ben is committed to finding the murderer and that really does shine through. Add to that the connection and romance and this is a very well balanced Mystery Romance. Don’t miss this one!

Black, White and Gray All Over @FredDReynolds @RABTBookTours @MKWebsiteandSEO

 Nonfiction

Date Published: August 18, 2021

From shootouts and robberies to riding in cars with pimps and prostitutes, Frederick Reynolds’ early manhood experiences in Detroit, Michigan in the 1960s foretold a future on the wrong side of the prison bars. Frederick grew up a creative and sensitive child but found himself lured down the same path as many Black youth in that era. No one would have guessed he would have a future as a cop in one of the most dangerous cities in America in the 1980s—Compton, California. From recruit to detective, Frederick experienced a successful career marked by commendations and awards. The traumatic and highly demanding nature of the work, however, took its toll on both his family and personal life—something Frederick was able to conquer but only after years of distress and regret.
