But when you have a spellbound hound on the case, it turns out murder can be stylish after all! Another magickal instalment in Spellbound Hound Magic and Mystery series with Toby the schnauzer-collie-whippet-terrier-thingie and his quirky furry friends! My Review Toby has turned into quite the detective. He has gained a good success rate. With each case, he encounters a new cast of quirky characters. There is Pickle and the Rat Mafia comprised of Sal and Pom, and others. I am all for Detective Ed joining the group.  David Winter is an amazing narrator. He has been a constant voice for this series. He has a huge cast of characters to voice, but he is up to the task. I have grown to love David's voice. In fact, if there was to ever be a change, I wou...

  Where desire ignites between bullets, blood, and burning rubber. The man I last saw when I was just a girl came crashing back into my life—literally—after fourteen years. Same smile. Those same mesmerizing eyes. Only now, they’re darker, more haunted. He carries demons I can’t touch. And a past my father destroyed before I was born. The miles and years between us made us strangers, but the pull is instant, electric. Not even the speed, the danger, the way the world blurs behind the wheel has ever made me feel as alive as I do in his arms. But when he spills the wrong blood in my honor, everything spirals into chaos. Loyalties shatter and alliances burn. And the only thing more dangerous than loving him…is losing him. Our names were carved in the stars long before our story began. I used to think that meant something beautiful. That destiny had a plan and our love would come easy.  I was wrong. Fate might have lit the match, but it never promised we’d survive the burnout. My ...
