I thought this was a wonderful debut novel. Great characters and plot line. I'm glad he's writing another one featuring the MC Sherry Moore.

This is a very emotional book about a family in crisis following a serious accident. Told from each family member's point of view. It really drew me in and was hard to put down. It's a bit sad and depressing but I felt like I was right there pulling for things to work out for this family. Very well done.

Very exciting installment in the Nina Reilly series. I read it in a day to see what would happen. My only quibble would be not enough Paul...

I enjoyed this legal debut featuring MC Dutch Francis. It held my attention and threw me a curve at the end. Will definitely read the next one...

I thought this was a beautifully written story about love and loss. It's emotional, sad, heartbreaking, yet so full of hope. It immediately grabbed me from the first line and it was hard to put down. It's full of endearing characters that will definitely stay with me for a long time. I highly recommend this book. It's one of the best I've read in a long time....

Worthy follow-up to Bad Move. Featuring over-protective, paranoid husband & dad Zack Walker. I love this MC and can't wait for the next one!

Reacher usually goes it alone and I found it interesting to see him in action with his old Special Investigators unit. I loved this one and couldn't wait to pick it up again. Well done!

Over-protective dad, Zack Walker, decides that city living is too dangerous for his family so he decides to move to the peaceful suburbs. The tranquillity doesn't last long as Zack stumbles upon a dead body and then things really start to get interesting.

This was a great read and had some laugh out loud moments. I really look forward to his next one. Highly recommend!

By far the best in the series so far. Such well fleshed characters, a very orginal plot line, and written in such a way that at times I found myself even feeling sympathy for the bad guy. And trust me, this is one creepy bad guy! This is one of those books that kept begging me to pick it up again, and I love it when a book calls to me that way. The pages just flew by. This will probably be one of my top picks for the year. Very well done!

If you like your MC's more real and down to earth, then ex-state trooper Harry Rane's definitely your man. I enjoyed this first novel a lot then followed it up with the next one - The Heartbreak Lounge which was even better.

Cassidy Sanderson is a female scout for the Dodgers. She works hard, plays hard and gets in a world of trouble along the way. Enjoyable read, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the Ana Grey books.

After having read The 13th Tale and loving it, I was excited to give this one a try. And even though it's described as a ghost story, I'd be hard pressed to call it one. I thought it was well written but I didn't like it at all and struggled to finish it. I wondered if the same author had written both books.

The story of Nonny Frett, who's caught between her adoptive family and her biological family. It's not a fast-paced book but it's a fun read complete with quirky characters, a family feud, secrets and indecision.

I loved this book! I love books where the MC's life starts to spin out of control and you don't know what's going to happen. This one was a whirlwind of a book. I enjoy this author and don't know why he isn't more mainstream.

When a beautiful young woman is discovered walking around with a bullet in her brain and no memory of what happened to her, Det. John Cardinal and his partner know that someone left her for dead and if word gets out, they'll try to kill her again.

I thought that this was an excellent entry in the John Cardinal series. Much better than The Delicate Storm. He returns to form with this one.
