Running Blind

This latest book by Cindy Gerard is the third in her One-Eyed Jacks series. I love romantic suspense and they seem to be thin on the ground so I always jump when a new one comes out. But the main reason I love romantic suspense is for the romance portion of the book, and this book was a little too ...

The Way Home

This book is a slight departure from Cindy Gerard’s typical romantic suspense novels and I had a bit of a difficult time deciding how to categorize it. There are elements of suspense in the book, but it was not really a suspenseful novel. So, I just decided to go with the more inclusive and generi ...

Risk No Secrets

Risk No Secrets is the fifth in Cindy Gerard’s romantic suspense series featuring the men of Black Ops Inc. (known as the BOIs). I thought it began well, dragged in the middle, then zipped along to a rousing finish. It ended as slightly better than average. Years ago Wyatt Savag ...

Take No Prisoners

I should have written this review immediately upon finishing Take No Prisoners, the second book in Gerard’s new Black Ops Inc. series. Two weeks later and after all the holiday festivities, I need to flip through the book to remember all the details. That should tell you a bit about this very av ...

Show No Mercy

For a book billed as the first in a new trilogy, there's an awful lot of back story in this novel. That’s all fine if the author finds a way to integrate the past story into a novel’s current action, which is, sadly, not the case here. Instead, in Show No Mercy author Cindy Gerard employs a he ...

To the Limit

To the Limit is the second book in Gerard’s Bodyguards series and since my colleagues have reviewed a couple of the most recent books, I’m backtracking a little and filling in a blank. The first book featured Nolan Garrett and in this installment his twin sister, Eve, tackles danger and love as ...

Into the Dark

Never having read any of the other books Gerard's Bodyguards series, I had no idea what to expect. I’m happy to say that this was a fast paced and mostly enjoyable read, with an excellent heroine, a hard-bodied hero and a nice set of secondary characters that I want to see again. The back story ...

Under the Wire

Knowing Under the Wire was in the mail for review, I quickly purchased To the Brink, an earlier book in the series to acquaint myself with The Bodyguards. Always a doubter when it comes to romantic suspense, I cautiously began reading the book and was thrilled to realize I loved every minute, which ...

To the Edge

I love a good bodyguard novel. There's something about all that forced togetherness that just racks up sexual tension. To The Edge is a bodyguard novel that begins very slowly, but picks up about the middle of the story and ended as a better than average read. Jillian Kincaid's family are very pr ...

The Bluewater Affair

The Family Secrets series has been somewhat of a disappointment for me so far, not really living up to the coolness of its premise, about the search for five genetically-engineered siblings created in an experiment in the 1960s. The good news is Cindy Gerard's The Bluewater Affair gets the series ba ...
