Nov 7

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Before I’m Gone
Author: Heidi McLaughlin

Genre: Contemporary/ women Fiction
Release Date: November 7, 2023

EXCERPT

New York Times bestselling author Heidi McLaughlin tells a poignant story about living life to the fullest—and savoring the small moments along the way.

Palmer Sinclair has never needed anyone’s help. A successful loan officer, she’s all work and no play. But when splitting headaches and blurred vision begin to affect her job, she begrudgingly sees a doctor and receives a diagnosis that leaves her shaken to her core and with little time left. Facing an uncertain future, Palmer makes a bucket list, determined to do the things she’d only dreamed of before she goes.

Kent Wagner has dedicated his life to helping others. An army medic turned paramedic, he’s a regular at Palmer’s bank who makes his monthly car loan payments in person just to see her radiant smile. After responding to not one but two 911 calls involving Palmer, he learns about her bucket list. Touched by her circumstances—and needing a distraction from his own—Kent offers to take Palmer to the places on her list.

Neither is prepared for the emotional journey ahead…or how little time they have left together, but the friendship they find in that brief time might be the most lasting legacy of all.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I’ve been looking forward to Onyx’s book since book one of the GEM series.

We didn’t know a lot about Raj and she really intrigued me….. almost as much as Jacob.

Both their history was complicated and their stories were heart hurting. People who are supposed to care for you but who cause you the worst kind of pain, they both suffered from some unspeakable and unthinkable experiences.

There were so many secrets and disclosures in this read. Some I sorta had worked out and a few others which were complete surprises. I loved how the team came together and worked to get to the heart of the case they’ve been with on since the start of the series.

Well written as ever, this was another fabulous offering from Freya and was action packed, full of intrigue and heat. While I’m sad this series is complete, I cannot wait for what’s to come next from Ms B.

I think one of the saddest and most harrowing things with this story is that though Ms Barker has written it as fiction, all you have to do is look at the news IRL and see awful reports about similar things like this…. which inexplicably includes the same kind of people that Freya has as characters in Onyx’s story.

I would encourage you to grab your copy of the books in this series and discover what the GEM team are all about….

Series: Nashville Nights

Author: Heidi McLaughlin

Genre: Romance

Release Date: October 17, 2023

Blurb:

Under the bright lights of Nashville, Levi Austin is a country music superstar whose life is rocked by the tragic death of his former wife, leaving him to raise their two daughters. Now faced with having to tell his girls, and making the hard decision about where they’ll live, Levi packs his bags and rushes off to Los Angeles—the last place he wants to be, but the one place where no one will recognize him.

Zara Phillips loves two things: her husband Van, and the band she created with her brother, Reverend Sister. To her, her life is perfect until she discovers that her high school sweetheart husband is cheating on her. The paparazzi are relentless, forcing a devastated and heartbroken Zara to stay hidden until the record label demands she shoot a video for the band’s new single, driving her out of seclusion.

Two people collide from opposite worlds. Neither knowing who the other is, yet both intrigued by one another. When Levi spills hot coffee on Zara, everything changes. He’s focused on his daughters, trying to do what’s best for them while Zara is determined to get away from everyone and everything in Los Angeles.

When Levi offers her sanctuary at his home in Nashville, Zara jumps at the opportunity to disappear… with the hopes that Levi comes with her. What transpires next are the lives of two very different people finding their path along a very bumpy and unforgiving road, who are tested by their loved ones, the media and one ex that doesn’t want to go away quietly.

Excerpt:

Our lives, Van’s and mine, are intertwined in so many ways. From the time he joined my silly little garage band to the day we took our friendship to the next level. Everything we did, we did as a team with people around us and now those people depend on us. Reverend Sister isn’t Van’s or mine, it’s ours and only works together if we’re in it together and right now I don’t want to be anywhere near him.

By the time the tears start to fall, and I mean really fall, I’m halfway home, and my phone is ringing with Van calling. The alerts are going off like crazy because the paparazzi are relentless and insist on snapping pictures of people. And when they put them online they add the most ridiculous headlines, except these, are spot on and tell people about my impending breakdown. It’s coming. I can feel the gut-wrenching ache, my heart being ripped out of my chest and every muscle and bone in my body in pain. The takeover is slow and almost alien-like. I can feel it in my toes, moving its way up my legs. It’ll take some time for my brain to really figure it out. For the light bulb to go off that my marriage is over.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I do love a new Freya Barker read….. and I’ve been looking forward to Pearl since we met her in the first book in the series.

Pearl’s first meet with Lee was entertaining (maybe not for him but definitely for us!!) and showed that the lady could take care of herself.

We knew very little about Janey/Pearl, mainly that she met the other girls when they were young and had been taken on by Jacob along with the others to form the team but finding out her own story was interesting.

I have to admit, I wasn’t sure I was gonna like Lee. I didn’t entirely take to him in Opal and did wonder about his motives…. even when we had previously found out a little about his family history. Truth be told, he took a little time to grow on me, but he did it! By the end of the book I was rooting for him and Pearl to ge together.

I liked that the story continued on from the end of book one and that we discovered more about who was involved in the nefarious goings on. The team is growing, they have some leads on names of the bad guys. I cannot wait for the completion of the story arc and to find out the full story of their start AND who Jacob is, what was his drive for bringing the trio together and what are his ultimate motives?… Finally, who is gonna be Onyx’s person?!?!?!

Another great read from Ms Freya!!!! 4.5*

I take a sip of my coffee, wincing at the strong dark brew, but I can’t allow myself to indulge in cream and sugar. Next thing you know, I’ll be stealing bacon from his plate.

“Are you suddenly on some kind of health kick?” he asks, tilting his head slightly as he doctors up his own cup with copious amounts of both. “Or was last night’s raid on snacks an anomaly?”

“That wasn’t for me,” I fib, trying to look down my nose at him. A hard thing to do when he towers over me by a good foot, even sitting down.

“Liar.” He grins, looking much too smug. “So, are the egg white omelet and black coffee penance for last night’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and chips? Because I don’t think you need to worry about your weight.”

I press my lips together. Little does he know weight is the last thing I’m concerned about.

“If I’d known your reason for having breakfast with me was to critique my dietary habits, I would’ve passed,” I can’t seem to stop myself from sniping.

To my surprise, he dissolves into laughter. To my annoyance it makes him even more attractive.

Suddenly, he leans across the table.

“Hey, Tiger, need I remind you who started it?”

Sh*t.

He’s got a point.

“Let’s talk about something else,” I quickly suggest. “Why journalism?”

He follows my segue with ease, answering without hesitation.

“Justice.”

“For your mother?” I probe.

I know his mother worked in housekeeping at Transition House and was supposed to have been killed for what she knew. During the years I was there, I recall a few black women on staff, but we weren’t really given the chance to interact. It’s possible one of them was Lee’s mother.

“That’s how it started, but now I simply want justice,” he clarifies. “Money, power, and inequity often get in the way.”

I hum in agreement. It’s what I’m after as well, although I’m sure our idea of justice differs greatly.

“Wouldn’t law enforcement have been the more logical choice?”

He snorts. “Not for me. Law enforcement not only could’ve prevented her death, but they were eager to write it off as an accident, ignoring evidence to the contrary.”

He’s referring to former Lanark police chief, Browning. He and his son—also law enforcement—are currently in jail on a laundry list of charges, including kidnapping and sexual exploitation of children. One of those assholes gave me a scar when one of their bullets grazed my head during the rescue of Mitch’s daughter, Sawyer.

“Your egg white and spinach omelet? And one classic breakfast for you.”

The waitress slides our plates in front of us and sets a thermos of coffee in the middle of the table.

“That way I don’t have to bother you,” she explains with a wink.

“That looks anemic,” Lee comments, pointing at my plate.

Sadly, it does. The smell of bacon grease teasing my nostrils doesn’t help, and my eyes drift over to his breakfast, which looks amazing.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” he mumbles as he grabs a couple of strips of bacon and deposits them on my plate. “Eat,” he orders.

It’s on my lips to tell him off, but instead I grab a piece. With a satisfying crunch, I sink my teeth into it, closing my eyes and groaning when the greasy saltiness hits my palate.

When I open them, I catch Lee watching, an unfamiliar gleam in his eyes.

Book Description:

Mason “Menace” Harrison

I’ve worked up from being the single dad on the original Moonshine Task Force to the leader of the Laurel Springs Police Department. Getting the title of Chief of Police is one of the most important things I’ve ever done.

On the second official day of my command – a teenage girl is taken.

I’ve never been the type of person to back down from a challenge. With my guys, my kids, and my wife by my side I know I can do anything I set my mind to. I just wasn’t counting on it possibly tearing the town of Laurel Springs apart.

Like always, when they need a knight in shining armor, I’ll be there. And I won’t let the girl go without a fight.

If there’s one thing I promise. It’s to keep my family and my town safe. Lord help anyone who stands in my way.

Excerpt:

“Have you heard?” Mason asks as he comes through the sliding glass door.

In our lives, either he has the gossip, or I do. Being the most senior teacher at Laurel Springs High means a lot of people – whether they be student or adult – confide in me. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, so I assume not.”

He chucks his jacket and duty belt on the dining room table, before coming over and leaning against the counter. His hands are at his slim hips, taking my focus off his face for a split second. “Let me start out by saying it’s no one in our family, and for that I’m thankful. However, it is someone who goes to Laurel Springs High.”

“Oh no, Mase. What happened?” My heart drops into my stomach.

He runs a hand over his beard, his wedding ring glinting in the light of the kitchen. “Taylor Kingston was taken last night, and her parents were killed,” his voice is low, and full of pain.

“Taken? What do you mean? Like kidnapped?”

He nods, those dark eyes of his haunted and hollow. “Yeah, looked pretty brutal too. Archer got the call off the 911 feed, and when we went out she was gone, they were DOA. I’m just home for a few hours of sleep, and then I’ll be going back out. Crime Scene is out there right now. Hopefully they’ll be able to pick up some evidence for us. Right now we have nothing.”

“Kids are going to hear,” I pull my bottom lip between my teeth, worrying the skin. Immediately my mind goes to the students I care so much about. “She’s well-liked, popular, and doesn’t have an enemy. I can’t imagine anyone would do this.”

He sighs heavily. “Reminds me of when Caleb was in school and they lost a classmate. Cursory questions we’ve asked haven’t revealed anything about anyone who might have wanted to hurt the family. Finding her isn’t going to be easy.”

“None of this is easy.” I remind him.

“Nope, and it’s even heavier than normal. They don’t have neighbors for miles, babe. There were no cameras on the house, and we got a late start compared to whoever did this. We’re at zero. People are gonna have questions, and we’re not gonna have answers,” he blows out a deep breath, his shoulders drooping.

Reaching over, I grab his hand. “If there’s anything I know about you, it’s you’re gonna find her.”

“Second day on the fucking job, Rina,” he shakes his head. “We’ve never had anything like this in Laurel County.”

The only thing I can do is put my arms around him and hold on tight. “There’s a reason you were given this job, Mase. It’s because you and your team, are the best. You’ll find her, and you’ll figure out why the Kingston’s were targeted.”

“I wish I had as much faith in myself as you do in me, babe.”

Reaching up, I place a kiss on his cheek. “I have enough for both of us.”

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Knight just reminded me how much I love Mason & Karina together!!

This book jumps forward a few years from we last saw the Moonshine Task Force guys and their respective others.

In Knight, Menace has taken on the new role of Chief and in his 2nd day on the job the unthinkable happens when one of the high school girls is abducted.

The story showed us his dedicated Mason still was to his family, friends, community and job. The story ran over a period of weeks and we saw how things were wearing in Mason and how, as she always says she would be, Rina was there for him.

We caught up with the other guys in the Taskforce and their families and got a little insight into Caleb’s life….. the gods, I’m hoping to find out more about what’s going on with him in the next book in the series.

The only reason I didn’t give this latest book 5 stars is because I felt while things were wrapped up by the end of the book, a couple of wee points were kinda under-explained and we didn’t quite find out what the outcome was for everyone involved.

Saying that I’m looking forward to finding our more about the new guy on the team.
