This week I’ve read a couple of novella’s I will review next week, and a great romantic suspense by Sherri Wilson Johnson, Grafted into Deceit. Here’s the back cover copy:
Disappearing business funds and a missing dead body have Marina Acres doubting everyone — including the detective whose case can’t be solved without her help.
When Marina Acres launches an investigation to find her company’s missing money, she becomes a killer’s target and uncovers a tangled vine of deception in the process. Detective Steven Pennington, who suspects drugs are at the root of the problem, must keep Marina safe from the killer while keeping himself from falling for yet another victim. Marina refuses to believe that her business partner could be part of a drug trafficking ring, but when evidence points its finger at her, she must join the fight with Steven to weed out the killer.
I enjoyed this book set in Georgia and was a little aggravated Monday night when I couldn’t put Grafted into Deceit down since I needed to get up at five.
Marina is an independent woman who is loyal to her friends, and this sometimes gets her into trouble. Grafted into Deceit is the third book in the Intertwined series, but it’s a stand-alone and you don’t have to read the other books in the series first. And I love the cover!

I read Vanishing Point by Lisa Harris. An exciting, enjoyable read. I felt some of what you discussed above – it was difficult to put down.
I’m in the middle of Charming the Troublemaker by Pepper Basham. So a fun book (though totally different from yours!).
Author
I love Pepper’s books, Mindy. Thanks for stopping by.
Yes, Lisa Harris’s Vanishing Point completely blew my schedule apart. Now I’m reading Cara Putnam’s Beyond Justice which is trying to do the same. Sometimes I reread books when they’re extremely well-written and do a good job of modeling a writing technique I want to improve on.
Author
I usually reread books for the same reason, Delores. Thanks for dropping by and joining the conversation!
I read Lisa Harris’s Missing and Pursued because I needed to catch up for vanishing point. Lol!! I should start this week hopefully. Lol!! Then I need a funny Rom com. Any suggestions?
Oh that’s sounds like a good book. I will check it out and the author’s other books. I grew up in Georgia so that makes it more appealing. I am reading Winter Wonders by Delia Latham.
Gloria, it’s great to connect with another Georgian! Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for featuring my book today! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! <3

Glad to, Sherri! Loved your story. 🙂
This week I’ve read The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck…..loved it! I do not re-read books. I am anxious to read Sherri’s book….’cause she is a GA lady, like me!! lol And I have read and enjoyed some of her earlier books!
Author
Sherri is amazing, isn’t she, Jackie! And I must get Sarah’s book! I’ve heard such good things about it. Now off to take a nap…
Jackie, I’m so glad you stopped by! Thank you for your kind words!!
I just finished A Grand Teton Sleigh Ride by Elizabeth Goddard and Lynette Sowell. I think I’ll start a Michelle Griep Christmas book next. Since I’m so short on time these days, I don’t usually reread a book. But I will if it’s absolutely fabulous. I usually only reread the literary classics these days, since they old up so well to rereading.

It’s been a long time since I’ve read a classic, Jerusha. I have a couple of Jane Austen’s on my Kindle and hope to get to them soon. Thanks for stopping by!
I, too finished Vanishing Point. Now to write a review. I also read A Fool and His Monet by Sandra Orchard. That was LOL funny! And mysterious. I have just started Dear Mr. Knightley by Katherine Reay. It’s different but good so far. I don’t reread much. I have too many books to read. But I might if I’m in a challenge or if I need to for a third book coming out and haven’t read the first two in a while.
Author
I have Dear Mr. Knightly on my Kindle and hope to get to it soon, Paula. I’m not much of a re-reader, either.
I’m reading While We’re Far Apart by Lynn Austin. Happy Weekend, Pat!
Author
Thanks, Caryl! I read Behind the Scenes by Jen Turano and loved it. Like you, I’m off to write a review.
I am not a re-reader (except for my Bible) and never have been. I have enough books to last me a lifetime to do that…lol!
This is what my reading week looked like: I’ll Be Home for Christmas (four novellas by Belle Calhoune, Jill Kemerer, Allie Pleiter, and Lenora Worth), Colors of Christmas by Olivia Newport, The Gift of the Inn by Golden Keyes Parsons, and I’m about halfway through Dangerous Illusions by Irene Hannon. Lots of Christmas reads this last week and more to come 🙂
Author
Wow! Good reading, Trixi! So agree about there being so many good books out there…thanks for stopping by.
This books looks great–I’ll try to get to it as soon as I can. Over the past week I have read Kill Zone (packed full of some amazing stories–including yours); The Last Target, A Matter of Trust, Fatal Frost, & Without Warning.
Author
Hi Pam and welcome to my blog! Oh! thanks for reading Kill Zone! I’ve read one of the books you have, Fatal Frost, and will have to check out the others. 🙂
