Five Stars: Saints & Sinners Book Review ~ Lauren

WOW!! This is the kind of debut novel that every author dreams about writing!

Chasing Victory is perfect and masterful blending of science fiction, romance, and the paranormal into one tight perfectly delivered book. Page after page, I found myself becoming more and more engrossed with the story and its characters. You can even ask my husband when I tell you that he missed a meal because of this book. I think one of the biggest reasons why this book resonated with me so much is that it pulls on my career heart strings as I am a cancer research scientist. It’s not often that you see a bit of science thrown into a book such as this.

Joanne’s characters are very well thought out and developed. Her hero is the perfect balance of intelligence, brass, and sex appeal. Tristan will melt your panties off with a smile while boggling you with his wit and intelligence. Yet, I am pulled more towards Victory. She’s special to me both in the sheer fact she’s a sassy female scientist (YOU GO GIRL) and her additional abilities. I have often wondered what my cats or puppies are thinking at times and she gets to do that!! Outside of Dr. Doolittle and the wild world of werewolves and shifters, do you ever see a human woman with these kinds of abilities!! Braxton is the perfect anti-hero. He’s willingly to do whatever it takes for his company and his ideals to succeed including kidnapping a woman and forcing her to work on her pet project. Just the sheer evilness of man who threatens peoples live in the name of science just screams evil genius to me!

Joanne Jaytanie has delivered the perfect paranormal romance & suspense novel. Like me, I bet you’ll find it difficult to put it down. So before you pick this one up, and I know you will, you might want to just clear your calendar for a few hours. I look forward to reading by Joanne!

5 stars…LOVE THIS ~ Cyn’s Reviews

I have to say most of the Paranormal I do not care for with that said I will also say this author had me hooked from the start to finish. I loved the suspense with just a little mystery there is a thrill a minute in this read. I am not sure what I expected is sure wasn't what I got Ms. Jaytanie really blew me away with her wonderful scenes, characters and her outstanding writing style. I won this in a give away I was a little uneasy when I downloaded it. I am very thankful for the gift and turning me on to a new author that I would not have given a second look to.

You have a many alpha males here who use to be ex military. Brothers who can talk without talking. What it must be like to be in someone else mind is mind blowing. Tristan is a sweetheart of a man not knowing what he is getting into as he is on the hunt for the bad men. He is hot on their trail when one ends up dead with no leads only a smell of a women he must find before it is to late, could she be in on this or is she innocent. The hunt is on.... It doesn't take him long to get into the thrill of action that he dearly loves. He might have gotten in over his head in more ways than one.

Victory loves animals, she has spent her life talking to and helping them. She is doing research to help find people unique ability in hope to find curses to help humans. One night, one old friend will change her life and the path she is on. With being kidnap she is force to do her research on canine DNA. She is shocked at what she sees, what she finds is mind blowing, she will spend her time working hard to help those that are hurt by this research. Victory is just one sweet loveable caring lady who is out to help the world. She has a rough road which could lead to her death if not her sister’s death. So many life's can be lost if this isn't handle very carefully.

Robin Rowan has a very smooth voices I thought her male voices were outstanding at times I forgot it was a female voice. I loved her many voices which I thought added much to the listen. There was only one of the sisters voice I didn't care to much for but it wasn't bad at all. I thought she did an outstanding job bring your heart to your chest as she spins the tale the author gives us. I am so looking forward to listening to more from this narrator.

There are so many wonderful characters I hope each one get their own story as this series continues. It is a thriller which keep you hopping, with a few Oh Mys thrown in as you cheer for this team to find a way out and help those injected with the DNA. This story will break your heart as it raises you up with the humor. I chuckled a time or two as well as laughed out loud. It is a very touching read with a little romance thrown in, which is well written and flows smoothly. I felt so much pain for the victims I could hear as well as see their pain. For those that where implanted with canis DNA the author showed the pain as they learn to deal with many issues. I would think if and when the time ever comes that this is done it will be as the author has wrote it or very close. I found this to be a very believable story as chills run down my back at the thought of this ever happening. I have no doubt there are people out there who would love to have the perfect soldier and would do anything to make this happen.

I could relate to each character in this well told story of what the future might bring. I just might be hooked on reading a few more Paranormal. I do want to thank this author for giving this audio in a drawing and letting me listen to it. I wouldn't have missed it for the world and am so looking forward to reading/listening to more from her. My hats off to you for one outstanding read.

Five Stars ~Absolutely Intriguing!

Victory receives a call from an ex saying he needs her help with something and to meet at their old picnic spot. When she gets there she ends up witnessing his death. Now she is on the run. She knows that they will be after her so she goes to her sister. She can sense that someone is following her. There is something more to Victory than meets the eye.

Tristan is Military and works under his brothers command. He was already following Victory's ex. Now his goal, since they now know Victory is innocent, is to keep Victory safe. There is also something special about Tristan and his brother. They are Telepathic. Turns out to keep Victory safe they end up having to work very close together after Victory is kidnapped and forced to work for the enemy. Turns out Victory is Telepathic also. Which may work in their favor.

Turns out Biotec, the bad guys, are experimenting with injecting canine DNA into humans and they now want Victory as they feel she is the most qualified person for the job. They were determined to get her help any way they could.

I LOVED this book! I wasn't sure what to expect really. Joanne throws some curves at you and keeps you on your toes! Once you start reading you don't want to put it down, at least I didn't. I'm highly anticipating book 2! I would definitely recommend reading this book!
