To Die For (The 6:20 Man, #3) by David Baldacci

This is book three of the 6:20 man series but can be read as a stand-alone. I thought I’d read the first two books, but turns out, I hadn’t. No worries. The author provides enough back story on the main character Travis Devine so the reader does not feel too lost. Travis is ex-military, worked as a Wall Street trader, and has enough skills and survival sense to deal with whatever is thrown at him. This time he’s asked to help the FBI escort 12 year old orphan Betsy to meet with her uncle – a guy he served with in a battle overseas. But the uncle is now a criminal kingpin facing RICO charges.

The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch

This was a really cute mm romance that gave me Romeo and Juliet vibes. In this book, Santa is not warm and fuzzy, but rather an insincere power-hungry dictator determined to strip power from all holidays for Christmas alone. The Christmas heir, Prince Coal, who did not want to be the heir, is initially clueless about the darker side of the holiday. He starts to sense that all is not as it seems when he discovers that the hot Halloween Prince he’d been flirting with, Hex, was being held at the Christmas court as a hostage. Once Coal learns the extent of his father’s tactics, he is determined to find a way for all holidays to work together for the benefit of all.

Hot Mic, Cold Ice by Tela V.

This is a fun, flirty, steamy contemporary hockey romance. The book started off a bit slow, but once the characters started to interact more it picked up. Ziggy starts a new job as an on-air hockey reporter, but she’s never done it before. It starts off rocky, especially when hot-shot goalie Elliot humiliates her during her first sportscast. What starts off as animosity quickly turns to lust as the two secretly hook up. Both of their careers improve as they continue their clandestine affair, but things get complicated when real feelings start to creep in.

The Duchess Takes it All by Michelle McLean

This is a cute, funny historical fiction romance that kept me laughing and turning pages until I finished. Tamsin’s father is a merchant, so she’s not a “blue blood”. She married a (much older) Duke and her station was immediately elevated, but the ton shunned her, even more so after her husband dies. Christian is a royal from Germany that was appointed co-guardian of Tamsin’s son. You can imagine how “thrilled” Tamsin is to learn this. She likes being able to finally make her own decisions, manage her own money and the estate, and most importantly, her son. Tamsin is determined to drive Christian back to Germany and out of her, and her son’s, life.

Perfect Girl by Tracy Banghart

This is a YA thriller with plenty of twists and jump scares to get your blood pumping. The author does a great job setting up a dark, creepy setting that will keep you holding your breath and jumping at every new twist. The night started off-kilter with the tension between the friends and just got worse after that. There are plenty of icky characters to dislike, which always makes a book fun. Who doesn’t love hoping the icky person gets their comeuppance?

The Side Project by Laurel Osterkamp

This is a great story about family, secrets, friendships, and second chances. The main characters have gone through a lot in the past and have their walls up. After joining together to be partners for their writing class, which they keep secret from Rylee’s best friend and Carson’s sister, they embark on a secret “no-strings attached” fling meant to last just until their class ends. The couple has a lot of chemistry so it’s no surprised that things get complicated when they develop real feelings for each other.
