Meet Dina Demille, a nice Texas gal who runs a seemingly ordinary, quaint B&B. But Dina’s inn is a magic, thinking entity; her fluffy Shih-tzu, Beast really is a beast; and her guests are the kind that no one on earth is supposed to know about: guests like a dethroned galactic tyrant with a massive bounty on her head, the Lord Marshal of a powerful vampire clan, and a displaced—and superhot—alpha-strain werewolf.
So don’t expect a normal stay…and don’t stand too close, or you may be collateral damage….
In Clean Sweep, Dina—with the unwanted assistance of newcomer (and alpha werewolf) Sean Evans and Arland, a cosmic vampire soldier—takes on an extraterrestrial killing machine that could destroy her Inn, her neighbors, and everything she holds dear.
I really enjoyed this book. The Andrews husband/wife writing team do what they do best, build a fast paced, detailed and adventurous world filled to the brim with action, tension, humor and memorable character. I love Dina and the other characters for their diversity as much as the snarky humor these authors do so well.
While this is a contained story-line, readers are introduced to enough continuing questions to want to come back for more! I also cannot speak highly enough of the audio narration as performed by Renee Raudman. She does a stellar job as she has will all the other Andrews audio titles.
Final rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Sweep in Peace, finds Dina hosting an anything-but peace summit between three warring intergalactic species; Space Vampires, the Hope-Crushing Horde, and the devious Merchants of Baha-char.
This book was a hoot! I loved the premise and all the details of trying to make the peace summit successful despite some big hurdles. What I also loved was the crossover from The Edge series and seeing some well loved characters mix with Dina. However, for me, the best part was Orro, the high strung and masterful chef, who has been disgraced following the poisoning of a diplomat. I adore him to the moon and back!
Overall, some great twists and surprises to bring back key characters.
Final rating: 4 out of 5 stars
One Fell Sweep sends Dina to the galaxy’s worst penal colony to rescue her sister; and back home to fend off a clan of assassins in pursuit, all while saving a guest’s civilization from annihilation…and searching for her missing parents.
One Fell Sweep sends Dina to the galaxy’s worst penal colony to rescue her sister; and back home to fend off a clan of assassins in pursuit, all while saving a guest’s civilization from annihilation…and searching for her missing parents.
Another excellently plotted adventure with good romantic tension, action, and humor. I enjoyed the addition of Dina's sister and niece as well as the resurgence of characters and some unexpected twists. Dina is making strides toward finding companionship and answers to her parents' disappearance.
Fantastic performance in audio again by Renee Raudman.
Final rating: 4 out of 5 stars
