Head On

Head On is a romantic suspense novel with the emphasis on suspense. When former town pariah Mark Jessup comes back to town to try and make peace with his dying father, murder happens and old secrets are not secret any more. During his senior year in high school, Mark Jessup was speeding in his truck…

High Noon

Nora Roberts is one of those writers who rarely, if ever, does wrong. Most of what she writes, in my opinion, is worth picking up. I don’t know how she does it, but her new contemporary romantic suspense High Noon is another great book. Lieutenant Phoebe McNamara is a former FBI agent now working with…

On Target

We’ve all had it happen. You’re reading a book, really into it, and something happens that just pulls you out of the moment entirely. That perfectly describes my experience with On Target. Two-thirds of the book were compelling and fast-paced, yet, once I got distracted, I began to notice little things that bothered me. However,…

Code Name: Bikini

Take a sort of bionic Navy SEAL, add in a heroine tinged by tragedy, involve our two leads in a murky spy plot, include a heavy dose of cameo appearances from characters readers supposedly know and love from previous books, and the result is one pip of an average book. Christina Skye’s Code Name series…

Into the Dark

Never having read any of the other books Gerard’s Bodyguards series, I had no idea what to expect. I’m happy to say that this was a fast paced and mostly enjoyable read, with an excellent heroine, a hard-bodied hero and a nice set of secondary characters that I want to see again. The back story…

Dead Shot

The heroine from Dead Shot is among the most atypical I’ve ever read. Readers will either love her and embrace the stereotype break, or be put out of their comfort zone. As for the rest of the book, the story is interesting, thought though the ending leaves a bit to be desired. Ever since Gillian…

Tough Enough

Tough Enough is the latest in Michele Albert’s series about the Avalon organization – a group of private operatives who specialize in finding lost and stolen art and artifacts. This series features a love story in each book, and a continuing story arc that involves the search for an elusive art thief and a mystery…

Blood Ties

Well, when you come across a book that’s a flat C, you know it. There’s nothing wrong with the book that would drop it down into D or F territory, but, on the other hand, there’s nothing that pulls it out of the mind-numbing crowd either. Judith E. French’s Blood Ties is a perfect example…
