Romantic Suspense
In Mariah Stewart's Forgotten, a murderous pedophile manipulates people from behind bars. Long-lost graves are unearthed, and new victims are found. It's not graphic, but if you hate stories where children's lives are threatened, you'll probably want to avoid this book. Also, if you haven't followed ...
I'll have to admit I didn't ask to review this book since I wasn't in the mood for romantic suspense with a paranormal twist. Add to that a former racecar driver as hero, and it really didn't seem to match my interests. Fortunately, my editor encouraged me to review it. And guess what? I loved this ...

Always looking for that hero I can’t help but love (or lust after), I saw immediately that Ash Keller of The Matchmaker fit that bill. Happily reading along, I was confident the hero alone, who epitomized the perfect contemporary hero (and melted my very bones), would earn this book a B grade at ...
I haven’t read that many great romantic suspense books lately, but this story certainly met my craving for a romantic, compelling suspense tale. Grant Kent is on his way to a new security job after leaving the army when he gets a strange call from a former foster sibling, Isabelle Carson. He ...
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 ...
Where There's Fire is a new romantic suspense offering from Maureen McKade, who is noted for her western romances. I happen to like western romances very much and wish they'd come back into fashion, but since I don't see that happening any time soon, and I like romantic suspense, I settled down wit ...
