Narrated by Christina Traister The Dollmaker is the second book in Mary Burton’s The Forgotten Files series, but it works perfectly well as a standalone. It’s my first time listening to a book by this author, and it definitely won’t be my last, as the mystery is tightly-plotted and suspenseful and the main characters, while…
Jen McLaughlin returns to the corrupt, gritty streets of south Boston with Dare to Lie, the enthralling third installment in her The Sons of Steel Row series. Sleep will feel frivolous and take a back seat to this riveting and suspenseful book that somehow weaves together an idealistic love story and an unsettling tale based…
I’ve been reading Karen Rose’s romantic suspense novels for the past ten years or so, and never have I been disappointed. Every Dark Corner, book three in Ms. Rose’s Cincinnati series proved no exception. It’s important to note that this novel wouldn’t be a good place to jump into the series, for not only would…
Although At Close Range is the eleventh book in Laura Griffin’s Tracers series, I didn’t feel as though I’d missed out by not having read the previous ten books. Information about the Tracers themselves and the highly advanced forensic facility at which they work is disseminated quickly and without getting bogged down in too much…
Katee Robert is probably best known for her sexy contemporary romances, several of which have been positively reviewed at AAR. With The Devil’s Daughter, she’s moved into romantic suspense territory, and has done so with a reasonable degree of success, penning a well-paced and gripping tale that kept me eagerly turning the pages. Sheriff Zach…
Normally I love the January TBR Challenge because I tend to collect category novels like crazy. At their best, the storytelling is usually streamlined and top notch. This month was a little tricky for me. Unwilling to settle for a so-so read, I DNF-d a couple of Harlequin Intrigues before unearthing The Diamond Secret ,…
Nico Rosso’s Seconds to Sunrise, the third in his Black Ops: Automatik series, felt very much like a book of two halves. But I don’t mean in that terms of the pagination; I’m talking about the difference in the successful (or not) treatment of the two plot elements, because one worked well and the other……
Narrated by Eric Michael Summerer & Susannah Jones I like romantic suspense and I’ve certainly heard Lisa Renee Jones’ name before but I hadn’t listened to or read any of her books. Susannah Jones narrates the Rock Chick books and I think she’s wonderful with them, so I decided it was time to check out…
Jay Crownover’s Retreat kicks off her new Getaway series and delivers what her loyal fans expect – a sexy and heartfelt romance. An action-packed, suspenseful storyline is added halfway through the book, making Retreat feel like two distinctly different stories. While this offers an unexpected change of pace it’s problematic because Crownover writes a love story…
Narration by Dick Hill First published in 1991, A Breath of Scandal by Sandra Brown was recently released on audio in CD format by Brilliance Audio, so I jumped at the chance to review it. Accustomed to Ms. Brown’s recent, romantic suspense titles, I must admit that the tough and sensitive nature of this listen…
