"The Forgotten Soldier" by Brad Taylor

The Forgotten Soldier by Brad Taylor centers on two men from the counterterrorist unit known as the Taskforce:  Guy and Pike. Guy wants to avenge the death of his brother.  Pike has orders to stop Guy any way he can.  Would Pike go so far as to kill Guy?  

This book overall was good with action; however, it had lots of talking as well which I found boring.  I would have liked the ending to be different.  (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

Teaser from page 13:  He squeezed his eyes shut, fighting for control, wondering if he'd made a mistake in his request.

"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)
