What Happened to the Bennetts by Lisa Scottoline @penguinrandom @LisaScottoline #Review


 

Buy on Amazon 


Every time I get the chance to read a tried and true favorite author, I get nervous. I always think about the fact that the book may not be good. Not the case with this book or author luckily! I really hate when they turn out to be duds.



This book tells the tale of the all American Bennett family. The first chapters are so frightening. The Bennet family is just driving home from a game in their new Mercedes. As you are reading the first chapter you begin to get the buildup of something huge. Was it drama, fear or horror? All three. What happened to the Bennet family seemed to be a car jacking, but it was not. The details are given out over the next few chapters. 


We learn a lot about the career of Jason, who is a court reporter for many years. We learn about Lucinda, who has a photography business of her own. The guessing for who, what, when and WHY will have you turning the pages fast.

About halfway. there are a few big bombshells that are dropped. In the middle of that you deal with the mental reprisal of the car jacking murder of Allison. Ethan, their son who is 13, deals with his own issues. Reading about his depression is so sad. His parents don’t deal with what is happening too good as a unit, so Ethan is allowed to be in his funk.




So there are several twists and turns that the author throws in so you can’t possibly guess the plot. It was a well put together novel by a master author. She adds the police procedures, working with the FBI and politics into the last half of the book. The FBI agents, well they are something else. I can’t go into much about them or what I liked about the character development because of the plot.


Very well written. Special thanks to Penguin Random House and Netgalley

Buy on Amazon

The main characts are a wealthy, yet not uptight couple-Marissa and Matthew Bishop At first they seem to be fairly perfect and have it all until…..Marissa is unfaithful. In the beginning it seems the best move to make is to seek therapy with Avery Chambers. Very unconventional therapy. OK at this point I am all in. 



When they meet and Marissa drops the bomb about why they are in therapy, prepare to hunker down and read like a woman or man obsessed. Poor Matthew doesn’t even have a chance. He is blindsided by this admission of guilt. He didn’t even know what the meeting was about. Not even the tiniest clue of who they were seeing. Buckle up now.

TOUGH JUSTICE by Tee O’Fallon is out now! Check it out and be sure to grab your copy today!

Title: Tough Justice

Author: Tee O’Fallon

Genre: Romantic Suspense

About Tough Justice:

It should have been a routine investigation. Instead, DEA K-9 agent Adam “Deck” Decker watches in horror as one Denver hospital seems to be Ground Zero for overdoses of a new drug. Now Deck can only hope a certain icy, green-eyed ER doctor will help him and his canine partner track down the deadly source.   Dr. Tori Sampson has her reasons for not trusting federal agents, especially ones working for the DEA. But the rash of overdoses—including a heartbreaking case involving a teen—is alarmingly high. And the new opioid is not only extremely dangerous, it defies all the usual medical treatments. So Tori has a choice: work with the big, brawny, and annoyingly hot DEA agent…or watch more innocent people die.   Tori’s the only person who can help Deck break the case, and they’ll need to trust each other, no matter how high the tension and attraction sizzling between them runs. But with every question answered, they realize there’s something more behind these typical teen overdoses. There’s a pattern here, and a pattern can only suggest one thing. There’s a killer on the loose.

Exclusive Excerpt:

Her eyes softened, turning pensive. “If there’s something I can do proactively to stop the rising body count, I want to do it.” Absently, she stroked Thor’s ears, allowing him to lean his head against her thigh. Deck suspected the change of heart had something to do with the dead teenager. “But let’s be clear on something.” Her pretty eyes glittered like shards of green ice. “You have your rules, and I have mine.” He and Thor led the way to the elevator. He glanced over his shoulder to make sure she was behind him. “Meaning?” Two seconds into their alliance, and he was already on the verge of regretting it. “Meaning”—she stared up at him frostily—“you will not skulk around the ER, waiting or searching for overdose victims. You’ll wait until I notify you that a patient is willing to speak with you.” “Skulk?” Deck held back a snort. Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. “DEA agents don’t skulk.” She pursed her lips. “I beg to differ. History has shown otherwise.” He leaned his shoulder against the wall by the elevator bank, tensing. “What history?” He had no idea what she was talking about. Whatever it was, they really needed to clear the air fast or this partnership would sink faster than the Titanic. “Never mind.” She shook her head and looked away, as if she’d said something unintentional. “There is one other thing, however.” “What other thing?” Yeah, two minutes into it, and this arrangement was already fixing to be a cluster. “If a patient changes their mind in the middle of your interrogation and no longer wishes to talk, you’ll leave, no more questions asked.” “Fine.” Between them, Thor swung his head back and forth, as if watching a tennis match. “And for the record, it’s not an interrogation. It’s an interview. Anything else?” “Yes. You have to promise never to use a patient’s name in any report.” Deck pushed from the wall, towering over her, but she stood her ground, craning her neck to look up at him. The elevator door opened, but he ignored it. “No dice, Doc. That’s how I get my PC—probable cause. If an OD victim has information about the source of the opioids and can direct us to the location where they purchased it, I may need to put their name in an affidavit for search and arrest warrants.” She crossed her arms and jutted her chin up at him. “Then that part of the deal is off.” What had he gotten himself into? They’d made a deal over the phone, and she was already changing the rules. He should’ve known he couldn’t trust her. Maybe he should find someone else. But they were here, and he didn’t want to waste more time finding another doctor. “Let’s compromise. I’ll do everything in my power to leave names out, but you have to understand that sometimes that’s what it takes to get a dealer off the street. If a judge allows me to refer to victims as ‘confidential sources’ instead of using their real names, then I’ll do it. Deal?” Before meeting his gaze, her lips compressed into a tight line, and he expected her to tell him to pound sand. “Deal.” “Good, and I have a condition of my own. Everything we do together, everything we discuss, is confidential. You need to be discrete about DEA operations.” “Understood,” she said curtly. “And for the record, that seems obvious.” The door began to close, and he reached out his arm, stopping it. “Is there anything else I should know?” Her lips twitched. “If there is, I’ll tell you.” “I’ll bet you will.” This woman was hardcore. Delicate and pretty on the outside. Inside, she was a drill sergeant, barking out orders like a seasoned federal agent. Like him. He’d bet she could hold her ground against some of the best defense attorneys he’d ever run into.

Author: Claire Wilder
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 22, 2022


BLURB

When I hired a husband-and-wife consulting firm to help get my family’s resort back on its feet, I never thought I’d catch the handsome husband being a little too receptive to one of my employee’s advances. But when Blake confesses his high-profile marriage is a sham, and asks me to keep his secret in exchange for deeply discounted services, I know I’d be a fool to say no. Our resort needs major work, and I’m scraping the bottom of the credit accounts to make it happen.

But keeping Blake’s secret isn’t as easy I thought it would be. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to deny my growing feelings for him. I promised myself I’d never get entangled in a messy situation again. But the deeper I get, the more complicit I become, and if Blake’s business goes under, my heart—and family business—could too.

Level With Me is a standalone enemies to lovers steamy contemporary romance set at the Rolling Hills Resort in Quince Valley, Vermont.

Scorching heat, laugh-out-loud humor, and swoon-worthy moments abound in this sexy new standalone romance by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melissa Foster.   What happens when the player gets played? Sidney Carver has a big problem, and he goes by the name of Dwayne “Gunner” Wicked: six-plus feet of muscular, motorcycle-riding, animal-loving deliciousness. Gunner is her boss, roommate, and best friend. They’ve seen each other through life-altering injuries and unimaginable losses, and they work side by side at Wicked Animal Rescue, fulfilling their passion to save animals. Unfortunately, Gunner is also the man Sidney is in love with, and he’s the ultimate player. As her former military comrade, Gunner sees her as his buddy—just one of the guys. Sidney is at her wit’s end, ready to risk the friendship and job she adores for a chance at forever love with the man she can’t live without. Like any good marine, she comes up with a mission. Enter Operation Get My Guy.   Gunner loves his life. He has a family he adores, a brotherhood that always has his back, and a host of willing women to warm his bed. As the owner of Wicked Animal Rescue, he saves lives and works with his best friend, Sid, the coolest woman on the planet. When Sid concocts a crazy plan to win his cousin’s heart, Gunner reluctantly agrees to be her wingman and comes up with a plan of his own.   Practices heat up as roommates become teammates.

Exclusive Excerpt:

SIDNEY CARVER HAD a big problem. She sat at the kitchen table in her underwear and T-shirt early Sunday morning, pondering her situation. It wasn’t like she’d planned on falling in love with her best friend, who also happened to be her roommate and her boss for the last three years. She swirled a waffle finger in the pool of chocolate syrup on her plate, staring absently, as if a solution might magically appear there. If only… Short of leaving Cape Cod and the dog rescue she adored, her father and friends, and the only man she’d ever loved, she saw no reasonable way out of the situation. It was too bad holding a gun to his head and forcing him to love her back would land her in jail, because that sounded easier than walking away. She had been attracted to Gunner since they’d first met, but her feelings had deepened over the years, and lately those feelings had gotten too big to deny. This was one of the few times in her life that she wished she had a mother to talk to. She’d been raised by an amazing father who had been only twenty when she was born, and he had taught her all about life, loyalty, and bravery. She could face a battlefield head-on, shoot a gun with expert precision, train dogs to save people’s lives, and nurture them back to health when they were injured. But winning her bestie’s heart was foreign territory, and she’d never been schooled in flirting or using her feminine wiles. She was more of a love me as I am or leave me girl, and she knew Gunner loved her as a friend just as she was, but way deep down, she also knew they could be so much more if he’d only let himself see her in that light. She heard a door open upstairs and froze, her pulse quickening as said problem’s heavy footsteps sounded above her, followed by the scampering of his rescue dogs, Granger, Belleau, and Opha Mae. The farmhouse stairs creaked beneath his weight, reminding her of the woman Sidney had heard leaving his room around two in the morning and causing a resurgence of the jealousy that had been driving her nuts lately. She needed to either figure out how to win him over without risking their friendship or get over him altogether, because watching a trail of women do the walk of shame from his bedroom wasn’t on her to-do list. Why did she have to fall for a player?

EXCERPT

Maxim

I dropped her onto the center of the bed and climbed up after her. Her wet skin glistened in the faint light. Wrapping my hands around her thighs, I pulled her closer. “You look good enough to eat.”
She was out of breath when she protested. “I just came. I’m too sensitive.”
I placed her knees on my shoulders and grasped her ass. “We’ll see about that. I want to hear you scream my name this time.”
I flicked my tongue along her seam, then pushed it in deeper. The tip circled around her swollen clit. “Damn, you taste good, baby.”
Carinna groaned as she fisted the bedcover.
I swished my tongue from side to side, playing with her clit as my hands squeezed her ass, knowing she’d still be sore from the spanking I’d given her earlier. The first of many.
“Play with your tits,” I growled against her pussy.
Carinna obeyed, placing her palms over both breasts as I teased and tortured her clit. It wasn’t long before she came a second time. “Oh, God! Oh God!”
The moment she did, I flipped her onto her stomach and wrenched her up onto her knees. Raising my arm, I brought my open palm down on her ass cheek so hard she pitched forward. “I thought I told you I wanted to hear you scream my name when you came.”
I wrenched her back onto her knees and spanked her ass again.
“I’m sorry!” she squealed. “I’m sorry!”
I grasped her hair and pulled it hard. “Not good enough.”
With my fist in her hair, I spanked her ass several more times until the heat of her skin permeated my palm. Her pale flesh glowed a hot cherry red by the time I was done. I couldn’t wait to feel the heat of it against my balls as I fucked her deep. “Spread your knees.”
When she didn’t obey fast enough, I used my own to open hers wide as I pushed her face into the covers. Grasping my cock, I wet the head at her entrance, using the steel ball of my piercing to once again tease her clit.
Carinna pitched forward a second time. She scrambled a few feet away and gripped the headboard. “Wait. Condom. You need a condom.”
I grabbed her hips and forced her back into position. “Are you clean?”
“Yes, of course. It’s been ages, but I’ve never done it without a condom.”
That’s all I needed to hear. “Fuck a condom.”
Never in my life had I said those words, but there was just something about this woman. A condom implied this was just another fucking. That she was just another pussy. I already knew that wasn’t the case. She was different, and I wouldn’t tolerate anything between us. I needed to feel every glorious inch of her as I thrust in deep.
I eased the head in, careful not to tear her. Once I felt her body close around the tip, I placed my hands on her hips and thrust to the hilt. Carinna cried out as her body absorbed the full impact. “Maxim!”
I growled through my teeth as her tight pussy clenched around my cock.
And that was my last sane moment.
After that, I became a man possessed. I relentlessly pounded into her, as if my very life depended on it. I couldn’t get enough of her hot, wet cunt as I thrust in repeatedly. Looking down between us, I saw my shaft wet with her arousal before it would impale deeply into her body. Her ass bore my handprints as I gripped her hips and anchored her to take each forceful thrust.
Releasing her hip, I fisted her hair and pulled her upright on her knees. With my free hand, I pinched her nipples, hard. “That’s it, dirty girl. Take that cock. Take it deep.”
Carinna moaned.
I moved my hand from her breasts to her pussy. I slapped it hard.
“Ow!” whimpered Carinna.
From this angle, I was thrusting in even deeper. Impaling her upright body straight down on my cock. “Say my name.”
“Maxim,” she said on a weak exhale as her head fell back onto my shoulder.
“Louder,” I yelled.
“Maxim!” she screamed as her pussy clamped down on my cock, the ripples of her third orgasm crashing up my shaft.
Right before I came, I pulled free. Using my grip on her hair, I maneuvered her onto her knees before me. “Open your mouth.”
Her gaze pleaded with me as she kept her lips closed.
I shook her head, fisting her hair tighter. I clamped my free hand around her jaw. “I said, open your mouth, whore.” I pushed my fingers into her cheeks, forcing her mouth open.
I pushed my cock past her lips. “Say my name.”
She obeyed, trying to speak past my thick shaft shoved down her throat.
“Again,” I demanded, loving the vibrations it sent up my cock. I could hear the clatter of my piercing against the back of her teeth.
My name was on her lips when I came, coating her tongue with my seed.
I lifted her upright by her hair till our bodies were flush together in the center of the bed. I pushed a glob of semen, which had drizzled past the corner of her mouth, to her lips. I then forced two fingers into her mouth. “Suck them as you swallow my come.”
She sucked them. Spearing her tongue between my fingers, then swirling it about.
“Suck them clean.”
The moment she finished, I wrapped my hand around her throat and tilted her head back. “You liked that, didn’t you? You enjoyed being treated like my dirty little whore.”
Her eyes filled with tears. “Don’t make me say it.”
My free hand caressed down her back. I pushed my fingers between her ass crack to tease her tight, puckered hole. “Admit it or I’ll prove it to you another way.”
Her eyes widened. “Don’t. I’ve never.”
I chuckled. “Oh trust me, babygirl. Your pert ass is going to have a pretty little gape by the time I’m done ravaging it. It’s your choice whether you want me to turn you over and fuck you raw right this moment.”
She blurted out, “I admit it! All right. I admit it. I like how you… how you… used me.”
“That’s my good girl.” I released her and climbed off the bed. I padded naked into the bathroom and wet a small hand towel under the shower stream that we had left running. Flipping the nozzle off, I returned to the bedroom.
Carinna was standing next to the bed, reaching into a bureau drawer and pulling out a T-shirt.
I frowned. “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Just getting a shirt.”
I motioned toward the bed. “Get your ass back on that bed before I spank it black and blue. Now!” I growled.
With a small yelp, she scrambled to obey.
“Now lie back and spread your legs.”
Her thighs trembled as she struggled to obey me.
I climbed back onto the bed and kneeled between her open thighs. I placed the warm hand towel over what I knew had to be her sore pussy. Once I had wiped the evidence of our lovemaking from her, I returned to the bathroom to toss the towel into the hamper. I pushed aside a pair of yoga pants and lifted up the sleeve of my hoodie. Smiling at the thought of her wanting to keep it. I liked the idea of her cute little body snuggling up in my sweatshirt.
When I returned to the bedroom, it was dark. Her slight form was already curled up under the covers.
I crossed to the bed and lifted the blanket.
Carinna rose on one elbow and looked over her shoulder at me. “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to bed.”
“You mean you’re staying? You’re not leaving? But… but we’re done.”
I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her close. Her backside cradled my cock. Nudging her partially dry hair aside, I whispered into her ear, “Oh malen’kaya iskra, I’m not even close to being done with you.”

AUTHOR BIO


USA TODAY Bestselling Author in Dark Romance

She delights in writing Dark Romance books filled with overly-possessive Billionaires, Taboo scenes and Unexpected twists. She usually spends her ill-gotten gains on martinis, travel and red lipstick. Since she can barely boil water, she’s lucky enough to be married to a sexy Chef.
