Romeo's World ~ Reader Friday

Romeo’s World (Mike Romeo Thrillers Book 11) by James Scott Bell is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line: We were playing volleyball on the beach because C Dog and his ringer friend challenged me and Sophie to a game.

But first the photo and verse. Our own Priscilla Bettis took this photo of the Harvest Moon over fields of Coastal Bermuda for a truly stunning shot–thanks Priscilla! I thought the verse went very well with the photo. 🙂

Now for the cover and back copy of Romeo’s World by James Scott Bell:

She closed her eyes and said, “This is hell.”

“Far from it,” I said. “No torments here, just people who want to help you. I work for one of the best lawyers in the city. He can straighten out any tangle you’re in.”

“Who said anything about a tangle?”

“What I meant was—”

“Forget it,” she said. “You’re very nice people. So I need to tell you, don’t get involved with me. It’s best you don’t know anything. I don’t want to go into it any further, okay?”

Mike Romeo just wanted a quiet morning of volleyball on the sands of Paradise Cove. But when a light plane plunges into the Pacific, he fights the chop to rescue a woman from the cockpit. She will not give her identity and begs Mike to take her to a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley.
Where she disappears into the night.
When Mike tries to find her again, he runs head-on into a web of murder, money, and betrayal—with a target on his back.
Which means the killers have crossed the line into Romeo’s world.

It will not be a pleasant journey.

My Take:

The volleyball game didn’t last long before Mike Romeo was rescuing a woman from a plane that crashed into the ocean. Then she disappeared and came up dead. Mike, being who he is, couldn’t let her death go unsolved. The story takes twists and turns that kept me reading until midnight so I could find out what happened. Book 11 in the Mike Romeo series is a classic Mike Romeo, and one you don’t want to miss. You don’t have to read the others to enjoy this one, but you’ll want to go back and read them all (if you haven’t).

You can read it in KU or buy it on Amazon.

Okay, Readers what are you reading this week? Leave the title or first line in the comments, and I’ll enter you in an October drawing for…something. 🙂

Now for the song for Friday. This is one I heard Sunday afternoon and knew I wanted it for Friday’s blog. I hope you enjoy it!
