Cat-Eye Witness By Patricia Fry Review

*I was given a free copy of this ebook for my honest review*
Savannah and Aunt Margaret open the old Forster home to the Hammond Cat Alliance for a fundraiser to help rehabilitate the abused horses rescued months earlier from the catnappers. Before the afternoon is over, the collected funds go missing and someone is murdered in an upstairs bedroom.
Suspicion surrounds Iris, a local waitress and Savannah’s new best friend. The only witness to the murder is Rags, Savannah’s cat. With the assistance of a cat psychic and Rags’s good friend, Charlotte (the young girl with Downs), the cat helps to “paw” the killer…but not before an attempt is made on Rags’s life. The case is solved only after Rags comes face-to-face with the killer for the second time.
Detective Craig Sledge is new to this book, as is Damon, Iris’s errant son. Sledge finds this to be one of the muddiest cases he has ever worked, with inconsistent clues and no apparent motive. He’s constantly surprised, perplexed and impressed by the cat’s uncanny ability to come up with clues he has missed. His fascination with the attractive Iris Clampton also mystifies the detective.
In this story, one of the rescued horses goes into labor and there’s a night of high drama at the ole corral as veterinarians Savannah and Michael work to save the foal. This experience renews Savannah’s deep interest in horses and riding, which ultimately serves to help her bond with a very important surprise character who finds his way into her life and Michael’s just as they prepare to say their wedding vows.

While Rags is the animal star, he isn’t the only animal featured in this story. Layla is back in all of her tangerine beauty. And Rags makes friends with Buffy, a perky almost Himalayan and the inseparable duo, Walter, an all black cat and his sidekick, Lexie, a charming afghan mix. Savannah’s new ride, Peaches, also debuts in this story. An incident with this mare adds another dimension to Savannah’s and Michael’s relationship. Can he hold her with open arms?
MY THOUGHTS

 Earlier this month I read Catnapped which is the first book in this series and I liked it so much that I couldn't wait to read Cat-Eye Witness which is the second book in this series. 

 I really enjoyed this cozy mystery. At 225 pages it is a quick read and I think this would be perfect to read outside on the patio. It is very well written and I admit I couldn't put this book down. 

 If you are into clean cozy murder mystery novels I highly recommend this book.

 I give this 5 out of 5

My Favorite Cowboy by Donna Grant #Review

Image
*I received an eARC of this for my honest review*  Audrey Martinez is a veterinarian who has devoted her whole life to the care and protection of horses―even if doing so leaves her little time for meeting a man. Who would have thought that a strange case of criminal horseplay would lead her to falling deeply, wildly in love? If only the man who makes her heart race faster than a wild mustang would let his guard down, that is. . . Caleb Harper is no ordinary cowboy. Sure, he wears his hat, boots, and jeans like a second skin, and displays an easygoing charm that comes from years of working on the ranch. But with his military background, and Army buddies at his side, he is tried-and-true Texas tough. Audrey knows she can trust a man like Caleb to help her save horses. But can Caleb trust himself to resist his attraction to Audrey―or will the sparks of their desire end up getting them burned?   MY THOUGHT I read this as soon as I received the eARC last year because ev...

Owning Violet (The Fowler Sisters #1) by Monica Murphy Review And Giveaway

Image
*I received a copy of this book for my honest review* I’ve moved through life doing what’s expected of me. I’m the middle daughter, the dutiful daughter. The one who braved a vicious attack and survived. The one who devoted herself to her family’s business empire. The one who met an ambitious man and fell in love. We were going to run Fleur Cosmetics together, Zachary and I. Until he got a promotion and left me in the dust. Maybe it’s for the best, between his disloyalty and his wandering eye. But another man was waiting for me. Wanting me. He too has an overwhelming thirst for success, just like Zachary—perhaps even more so. He’s also ruthless. And mysterious. I know nothing about Ryder McKay beyond that he makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. One stolen moment, a kiss, a touch . . . and I’m hooked. Ryder’s like a powerful drug, and I’m an addict who doesn’t want to be cured. He tells me his intentions aren’t pure, and I believe him. For once, I don’t care. I’m willing...

FRAGILE SANCTUARY by Catherine Cowles (Sneak Peak)

Image
  💙 FRAGILE SANCTUARY SNEAK PEEK 💙 USA Today bestseller, Catherine Cowles, has a sneak peek for the first book in the Sparrow Falls Series, Fragile Sanctuary, coming May 16th!   “What?” “Nothing,” I clipped. “You need to go inside and eat. Think you can stay upright long enough to do that?” Instead of being annoyed with me, Rhodes just smiled. It was far too wide for the situation. “What are you doing?”   “You like me.”   My whole body stiffened. “I do not.”   Rhodes’ smile only widened more, making the gold in her eyes spark and swirl. “Do, too.”   “What are you, five?” I snapped.   She laughed, and the sound hit me somewhere in the vicinity of my chest, digging in and spreading through me. That pins-and-needles sensation you got when a numb limb finally regained feeling. I fucking hated it.   “Anson.” Her tongue wrapped around my name in a languid stroke. “If you hated me, you would’ve left me alone in my panic attack. You would’ve ignored th...
