Lately I’ve craved stories that are different. I periodically feel the need to leave my comfort zone. Thus I decided to read this romance between a prison employee and an inmate. I am so glad I did as I found an engaging story that was difficult to put down. Inmate number 802267 catches the eye…
Anthony Brandt said “Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.” It’s true that family can have the most profound effect on our lives. In this novel, family is a tie that binds, in both good ways and bad. Penny Sandoval has a complicated family life. On the one hand, her…
I don’t particularly like revenge stories or heroes who are escaped convicts, but it’s amazing how little all that matters when you are reading a good book. And Sweet Revenge is a good book. When Jack Dalton finds out that the man who killed his sister is in town, he engineers his escape from prison…
If some books can be judged by the numbers of tissues readers use to read them, this would be a multi-box story. There’s more poignant, bittersweet, thoughtful commentary on life and death here than in any other romance I’ve read in quite some time. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID…
I very much liked the heroine from Don’t Cry for Me, the second book in the Rebel Ridge series so it was a given that I was going to read the third book, the story about Meg Walker, the sister of the two previous heroes. Her story is entertaining, although my willingness to suspend disbelief…
Narrated by Karen White I was about halfway through About That Night when I realized the suspense was not the main focus of the book and the entire storyline started making a lot more sense. Unlike other entries in the FBI/US Attorney series that carry a feel of romantic suspense (although all are categorized as…
I am apparently not the only person who watched Prison Break who also loves romance. I’ve read several novels recently about innocent convicts involved in government conspiracies. This one throws in the added element of the paranormal. Our ex-firefighter/paramedic hero has developed a new talent since the warehouse fire that began the downward spiral of…
Revenge might be a petty motivation, but when it’s all a guy’s got left in his life, it’s enough to get him out of bed every morning. Or so former con man Sean O’Brien thinks. Sean’s swindler father is currently in prison because he was the one holding the bag when he and his partner…
When two characters with a long string of baggage collide, sometimes it results in a happily ever after. Usually, however, it takes a lot of opening the baggage and sorting through the contents before two burdened people can even get close to each other. When Jesse Taylor, brother of Mirabelle Island police chief Garrett, comes…
I had some reservations about this book, largely because of the fact that the heroine is an ex-convict recently released from prison for killing someone. To my pleasant surprise, Senseless took this and made it work. Of course, Eva Rayburn isn’t actually a cold-blooded murderer. Ten years ago, she was raped and was convicted for…
