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

CRASH AND BURN by Rachel Lacey

This book was not the usual Rachel Lacey book and I should know, I've actually read all of them.  This is a story I've not read before and it puts to light what your brain thinks about when you think that you're about to die. Isa Delgado is terrified of flying and now she has to step foot into her first ever plane ride to help a rescue dog that only responds to her. The rescue is a husky dog named Maya who likes to run away when things get rough.  This does not help Isa with her fear of flying but the hunk who was her pilot might help matters a bit. Take off was not so bad and it relaxed Isa to see Maya calm during the flight.  Just when she thought that flying might not be so bad, everything goes horribly wrong. Nate lives to fly.  He's been flying for as long as he can remember. That's why he did not foresee any problems in flying a lady and her dog to their destination. Things don't go as planned when in the middle of their flight, shit hit the fa
