BOOK BLAST of The Honeydripper Affair



The Honeydripper Affair
by Joanna Kidson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Suspense Thriller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
She should never have met up with Ryan, that’s for sure.
You see, Lucy Nevin has got something that people are willing to kill for - she just doesn't know it....yet.
Handing Ryan the notebook threw the killers off her scent for a while but as Lucy uncovers more details about the death of her father, it becomes clear that this ruthless gang of criminals will stop at nothing to get what they want from her.
And then Dan shows up. Is that coincidence or by design? Either way, she’s now sucked into a deadly game between the killers, the armed forces and the government. They all think that Lucy has the code – the code that will give them control of the internet. The scary thing is; if you’ve ever used the internet, this is happening to you right now.
Trouble is - time is running out for Lucy and she needs answers. What exactly is the Honeydripper Affair?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT

Lucy had thought about meeting Daniel again a thousand times, but it had never played out like this.

 She surprised herself at the ferocious nature of her attack. She was mocking him and she wanted to rise above that, just stick to the facts, but she couldn't.
"Look," Daniel spoke again. "I need to talk to you."
His insistence just wound Lucy up more. "Oh, you need to talk, do you? Now that it suits you, it's time for a chat? What about all the times when I needed to talk? Where we're you then? With your new woman? Go and talk to her now if you need a chat."
"Stop, Lucy. I know you hate me, and I deserve it, but I need to talk to you. You're in danger. Serious danger."
Lucy did stop. For a moment. But she hadn't finished.
"Yes, I'm in danger. In danger of punching you, of kicking your head in."
Daniel leaned forward, tried to grab her hands. Lucy pulled away, sputtering, and he sighed. But he didn’t lean away.
"Listen, this is about your father. He was murdered. The accident was no accident. And the people who did it are coming after you now."
Lucy let the words sink in, her mind a confused jumble of conflicting thoughts. She started again on autopilot. "I don't know what kind of game you’re playing this time, but you are full of shit."
Daniel looked her straight in the eye, silently commanding her to listen. It was a look she recognized, but one he’d never turned on her.
"I know this sounds crazy, but I'm deadly serious. Your father was working on something classified – Operation Honeydripper. Check it out. His killers think you have information and they'll stop at nothing to take it from you. I want to help you."
Lucy could feel her mind coming back, shifting her away from anger, but the rage wasn’t completely subdued.
"You've got a nerve coming back here and feeding me this bullshit. You didn't even know my father.

 You’re a bastard for bringing him into this mess, putting the blame on him."
She was shaking as she stood. "I honestly don't know what I ever saw in you."
The shaking increased as she marched from the bar but she didn’t look back.


                                                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After living in America and Australia, Joanna finally settled in England and now lives in London, a stone’s throw away from the river and the park. Also in the household is a husband, two kids and a small dog.

 She’s a hopeless romantic at heart and an eternal optimist, believing that everything will turn out alright in the end.

 She also believes that the chance of a lifetime comes around about once every two weeks and we actually did land a man on the moon!

 Writing is a joyful escape but it’s often laced with a healthy dose of truth and reality.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting.  Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out.  Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
