Quickie Reviews are what it says, a short one paragraph review for those books that didn’t get a full page review.

Habeas Corpus by Rebecca Zanetti

Anna is forced to juggle her meddling family, solve a string of murders, save Nick, and arrive at Valentine’s Day dinner in one piece. Hey, miracles can happen.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Did I finish this in one day? Yes, yes, I absolutely did. I suppose it is a bit unbelievable that so many misfortunes can befall one woman, but I love how Aiden and Anna’s family keep teasing her about her penchant for trouble. And trouble does seem to love Anna. Habeas Corpus was a fun, exciting read with plenty of humorous moments and I especially loved when the entire family came together. This is a great series if you like swoony heroes, confident FMCs, solving crimes, and creative lawyering.

Blitz by Devney Perry

A coach. A student. The rules were concrete. We broke them anyway.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ The parts I liked the most were the flashbacks to the night they met, their undeniable chemistry, and how adorable and sweet they were together. Both characters had plenty of ghosts from their pasts that influenced their present situations. While their attraction was super hot, their relationship wasn’t the greatest for me. I wasn’t quite convinced at the end that they were strong enough to overcome their obstacles and make this a permanent thing. But overall, I enjoyed it and I like the author’s writing style.

The Missing Witness by Allison Brennan

When a key witness goes missing, Quinn and Costa must find her before a killer silences her for good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book brought everything to a head for Kara and her future at the LAPD. Kara’s sharp observations and detecting skills came to good use to help her figure everything out. Matt was there more in a supporting role, professionally and personally, but I loved him for never pushing Kara for more than she was willing to give. The story took some interesting twists and turns to reach a highly satisfactory ending. I can recommend this series if you like crime-solving mysteries with plenty of procedural steps. It’s best to read them in order to stay on track with Kara’s developing story.

Raiders of the Lost Heart by Jo Segura

Rival archaeologists must team up on a secret Aztec expedition, or it could leave their careers, and hearts, in ruins.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ford was a bit annoying at times and their initial animosity towards each other was somewhat flimsy, but I had a lot of fun with this book. The chemistry between Ford and Corrie was intense and I enjoyed their inner dialogue surrounding this. The mysterious investor and action towards the end were a bit cliché and predictable, but it was still highly entertaining. I enjoyed the ending when Ford thoroughly redeemed himself.
