#8 - Heart Collector by Jacques Vandroux. From Amazon:
"Finding murderers is just a day on the job for police captain Nadia Barka. But when a mutilated corpse is discovered in an old baptistery, shes faced with some difficult questions: Who left a young womans body in a high-security museum in the middle of the night? And where is the victims heart?
Barka has no leads, until several days later when unassuming computer technician Julien Lombard comes forward, claiming to have had a premonition of the womans abduction and murder. The ensuing investigation turns up nothing, however, and Julien is just as skeptical about his intel as the police are. But, after another woman goes missing, Barka decides to take a chance and trust in Juliens gift. Does Julien hold the key to preventing another gruesome crime? Working together, can they find the murderer before he steals another heart?"
It was ok. I would give it 3*. I got it for free as a Kindle daily deal. I found the beginning a bit hard because it felt like I picked up the story halfway through. Once I got about a third of the way through it really picked up and I felt I knew what was going on. It just seemed like there was a back story that I didn't get until then.
#9 Flirting with Felicity by Gerri Russell. From Amazon:
"Felicity Wright never expected to inherit the hotel where she works as head chef. But now, shell do anything to keep the Bancroft Hotel operatingeven if that means mixing it up with the late owners handsome nephew, Blake Bancroft. Hes here to challenge her unexpected inheritance of the Bancroft Hotel, and theres no way either of them are walking away without a fight.
When his uncle wills away his familys oldest property, Blake Bancroft cooks up a plan to get it back. To check out his competition, hell need to check in. Too bad his first encounter with Felicity proves to be anything but smooth. As their battle over ownership begins, things begin to heat up between themand not just in the kitchen. Their attraction may be a recipe for disaster. Yet with the right ingredients, it could turn into a recipe for love "
This was a really easy read and I liked it. Another Kindle freebie. Again, I'd give it 3*. If you like a nice, light, romance story this is a good one.
