"The Dynasty" by Jeff Benedict

The Dynasty by Jeff Benedict covers a 20-year run in which the Patriots won six Super Bowls!  If you are a Patriots fan, this is a must read.  I really, really enjoyed going over the year by year of all the great tames they played.  This book covers a ton of off the field stuff too which I found very interesting.  (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

Teaser from page xii of prologue:  At that moment, Kraft owned a franchise that had never won a championship.  Belichick's overall record with the Patriots was 5-13.  Brady had never started an NFL game. It was unimaginable to think that Bledsoe was staring up at the nucleus of the greatest sports dynasty of the modern era.

"Davenport House" by Marie Silk


I enjoyed Davenport House by Marie Silk very much!   It is about the Davenport family and their secrets.  This is a wealthy family with two grown children, maids, a cook, stable boy and groundskeeper.  It takes place when cars are just beginning to be used.  This is a murder mystery that kept me guessing among three possible killers.  It was pretty obvious right from the start that the mother favored the son and the father the daughter, but why?  I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys family drama.  This is the first book in a long time that I actually looked forward to getting back to reading.  (Karen's review, 5 stars)

"Unnatural Acts" by Stuart Woods

In Unnatural Acts by Stuart Woods, a billionaire hires Stone Barrington to talk some sense into his wayward son.  Stone gives that job to Herbie.  Herbie finds out that this job will take some doing.  

I liked Barely Legal by this author better.  The characters in this were not well developed so didn't become very interested in them.  It is a quick read though with a predictable ending.  (Gerard's review, 3 stars)

"Triggered--How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us" by Donald Trump Jr.

I don't generally read political books; however, I did read Triggered by Donald Trump Jr. because I got it for free and wanted to learn more about the Trump family.  I found this book to be very enlightening regarding all the opposition President Trump faces, exactly what fake news existed and why Trump should be re-elected as President.  Donald Trump Jr. shares lots of detail which got boring at times, but worked in sarcasm and humor.  I would recommend it to anyone who is unsure who to vote for in the upcoming Presidential election and I think most Republicans would enjoy it.  (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"Backlash" by Brad Thor

In Backlash by Brad Thor, Scot Harvath works undercover for the USA.  He has been double-crossed, but was the only one to survive a plane crash that he was on headed for death.  Now he is free but in enemy territory.  He will have to be at his very best to survive.  

This is a long book (over 600 pages in large print) so some down time is in it.  However, for the most part, I really enjoyed it!  There is good action, good guys vs. bad guy stuff, and a really good ending!  (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

Teaser from page 12 (large print edition):  "The only way that man walks off this plane is with one of us," he said from behind his mask.
