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 Mariah Stewart’s books, then like me, you might get…
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…
If you like romantic suspense filled with earthy, raw, sex, but with minimal character development and plot, then Caught may be just the book for you. The book has a promising heroine and a potentially interesting plot, but both are totally overshadowed by time spent on sex. Ethan Taggart and his brothers run a security…
Sometimes when I go into a book, everything is an unknown quantity to me and I’m prepared for anything and everything. However, it’s always uniquely disappointing to read a book by an author I know has the talent to turn out really good stories only to discover that not only am I reading something I…
I have to sympathize with the author of this book a bit. Serial killer novels have been so overdone in recent years that it must be very hard to come up with one that stands out. Dead Stop makes a valiant try and features a heroine I genuinely liked. However, the story itself and, more…
Crossfire is part of JoAnn Ross’s High Risk series, but all the books in the series stand alone. Fans of romantic suspense featuring former military men will certainly enjoy this book – I know I did. When a high ranking Army officer is shot in the driveway of his lover’s home, one might think a…
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 the very…
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’s always cared for…
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…
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 with this book,…
