Book Review - Don't Keep Silent

The McKade boys are in it again. This time, it's Liam, and he's still trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. Sure, he has served in the Marines and in the DEA, but a blown cover and a bullet have him back at the Emerald M with his brothers while he figures out what God has planned for him next. He didn't dream it would be the woman who blew his cover. The woman he took that bullet to save. The woman he thought he loved, before he realized she had used him for her own purposes. The woman who now needs him to help her find her missing sister-in-law before time runs out.

Elizabeth Goddard's Don't Keep Silent is the third book in her Uncommon Justice series. If you don't know the McKade boys by now, it's high time to pick up the first book and read your way through the adventures kicked up by Austin, Heath, and now Liam. Goddard balances danger and romance intricately and pulls the reader into the lives of the Emerald M. Don't Keep Silent is another action packed page turner. Sure, you could read it as a stand-alone, but frankly, you wouldn't skip straight to the end of the book, so why miss out on the rest of the Uncommon Justice series.

Thank you to the author and to the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book. All opinions in this review are my own and are completely genuine.

Book Review - Always Look Twice

I was not familiar with Elizabeth Goddard prior to receiving a copy of

Always Look Twice for review. Once I learned that it was part of a series, I decided to

purchase the first book of her Uncommon Justice series, Never Let Go. I read Never Let Go first,

in order to determine the flow of the series, and was pleased to find that Ms. Goddard had great

continuity of the series, while maintaining the integrity of Always Look Twice as its own storyline.

It could be read as a stand-alone, but I am very glad I didn’t.

As childhood friends torn apart by tragic circumstances, Heath and Harper are thrown

together again as adults in a tragic situation. It felt like this scenario could have easily become

a sloppy tangle of premature or undeveloped emotions, and I was worried that this might happen.

Therefore, I was quite pleased that Ms. Goddard did a great job of balancing the childhood familiarity

with the timid miasma of emotion tied to the circumstances of their reunion.

The suspense is well written, and the romance is tastefully and artfully done.

While there are times in the unraveling of the mystery that get a bit confusing,

I am not sure I can consider this a problem; I feel that the confusion served to help me

relate to the frustrations of Heath, Harper, and those involved in the investigation.

I look forward to reading the final installment of the Uncommon Justice series,

Don’t Keep Silent, upon its release. The character development of the McKade

brothers, the dynamic of their relationships with each other, and romantic suspense

of their endeavors have certainly grasped my interest!
