Trace of Fever

Trace of Fever is the second in the Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series by prolific author Lori Foster. In the preface, Ms. Foster writes the series is of “uber-alpha hunks featuring private mercenaries who are big, capable, a little dangerous and [she hopes] oh-so-sexy.” I didn’t read the first book, When You…

Money Shot by Susan Sey

Money Shot, the second book by Susan Sey, features an oft-neglected branch of law enforcement. For all the town sheriffs, city police detectives, and FBI special agents we see in romance novels, it’s not often that we get a Secret Service agent – and from their lesser-known counterfeiting division, no less. Counterfeiting may not seem…

Deadly Dreams

There’s a fairly even split in this book between romance and suspense, with a dash of paranormal thrown in – probably 40%, 50%, and 10%, respectively. Usually I prefer a stronger romance than suspense, but in this case it is so well done and organically integrated that I really can’t complain. Risa Chandler is a…

Breaking Point by Pamela Clare

Breaking Point by Pamela Clare

Pamela Clare’s latest I Team book is a fine addition to an exciting series. Ms. Clare’s I-Team is a group of investigative journalists who work for the fictional Denver Independent. The women of the team, all reporters, have in previous books taken on pernicious social evils, while falling in love (and lust) with smart, sexy…

Courting Disaster

I enjoy a good legal thriller but too many of them get ruined for me by unrealistic characters or completely implausible plots…cough,cough, John Grisham, cough, cough…so I tend to be very picky about reading one by an author unfamiliar to me. However, with an intriguing plot and lawyer characters who actually resemble people who spent…

Shiver of Fear

It is rare that a book goes from a solid B to a C-, but this book was a complete down hill slide for me. I enjoyed the beginning immensely and anxiously kept turning the pages for more until suddenly, the book turned a bad corner and stayed there. The Guardian Angelinos is a fledgling…

Into the Night

As far as I’m concerned, the kooky faux-Bridget Jones heroine is a trend that has gone on far too long, particularly in romantic suspense. In the name of gender equality and anti-misogyny, we have heroines running around like headless chickens – clueless, dumb, and unrestrainedly propelled towards disaster. How refreshing and how relieving it is…

Merciless

Romantic suspense books don’t make it very long in my TBR pile. I’m in the mood for one pretty often, and good ones are hard to find – and that adds up to slim pickings on the pile. So when Jane Granville reviewed and recommended the first book in this series I went straight to…
