Okay everyone, this is book three of this series and I’m telling you now, go back and read books one and two. Immediately. Book three was an emotional ride and one I didn’t expect to feel so strongly about but I guess I’ve fallen in love with Lance too now.

Book two of the Morgan Dane series and I’m still obsessed. When young mother Chelsea Clark goes out for a girls’ night and never comes home Morgan and Lance begin their own search for answers as the local police chief, more of a figurehead than a helpful member of law enforcement, drops the ball on finding her. Lance and Morgan have to scramble as Morgan’s own family becomes a target.

I have to say the layering of the plots and the characters in this series is fantastic. We get just enough to care about each character while still being closely tied to our lead characters. I really felt for Tim Clark (the husband of the missing woman) and the glimpses into Chelsea’s captivity were startling and gut wrenching.

In this second book I fell more in love with the idea of Lance and Morgan as a couple, especially as Morgan’s own children warmed up to Lance during all the chaos.

The pace, tension and driving narrative had me turning page after page in this installment and I couldn’t believe it when I’d reached the end. So, I immediately bought the third book and pressed on. If you’re a fan of romantic suspense you should already know Melinda Leigh’s name and if you’re just joining the genre, I’d suggest starting here.

The second volume of Kousuke Oono’s The Way of the Househusband is a fantastic follow-up to last year’s English release of volume 1. This humorous, contemporary manga was originally published in Japan beginning in 2018. The series focuses on Tatsu, the Immortal Dragon, a legendary, well-known Yakuza who’s turned over a new leaf. Reformed and married to a working woman, Tatsu is now a househusband, attacking everyday chores and errands with all of the fervor and gusto befitting a former Yakuza.

Sometimes, I really hate when I’m right. I was hoping against all odds that book three would save this trilogy for me but it didn’t. While I can still say I liked the book, that the series was okay, I found myself giving book three my lowest rating for the entire series. Probably out of frustration more than anything but, here we are.

I’ve seen this book around ever since it was published and I was always tempted by the title and the cover. However I was…hesitant. And I don’t know why I was. My aunt Deb read this series as soon as each book came out and was obsessed, constantly telling me I needed to pick it up. Still, I didn’t do it and still I’m not sure why. This isn’t some glowing review of how wrong I was to resist but the first book in the trilogy was, as a matter of fact, enjoyable.
