from The New York Times in October 2022:
Colleen Hoover has sold more books this year than Dr. Seuss. She’s sold more books than James Patterson and John Grisham — combined.
To say she’s currently the best-selling novelist in the United States, to even compare her to other successful aut ...
Toni Anderson is back with another nail-biting tale of romantic suspense that’s as smart as it is sexy. Cold Deceit is the second book in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series and takes place in the Arizona side of the Sonoran Desert. It’s an exciting tangent to her exhilarating long-running Cold ...
You know it’s a great reading year when it’s bookended by two dynamic books in the same thrilling series. In this case, I’m talking about Rebecca Zanetti’s Laurel Snow series, and while I loved You Can Run, You Can Hide is even more exciting.

I’m a big fan of Loreth Anne White’s romantic suspense titles (although she now seems to have moved to writing just “suspense” without the romance part) – and this is one of her early Harlequin titles. Safe Passage, originally published in 2004, boasts a gripping, fast-moving plot that h ...
Wow – that was intense! This latest instalment in Nicky James’ Valor and Doyle series had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish; Unstable Connections is another compelling read that once again weaves together an absolutely gripping mystery plot with the continuing development of the rel ...
