Both are romantic suspense. The primary couple focus is on Rachel Gannon and Kadin Marks. A secondary focus is on Spazz and Cowboy. My Take Don’t bother picking this one up. I really expected more of Monroe, and she has NOT delivered. This story is so surface with a lot of whiny Sturm und Drang. Even the lame bits are simply dull. I found myself skimming a lot of it just to get it over with. Full of cutesy clichés with flimsy excuses masquerading as drama to give the story its major plotline. Yawn. Oops, sorry. yawwwwwn. Oops, I just keep doing that. Oh, well, at least it’s consistent with Monroe’s storyline…yawn. Jamila’s attitude is confusing. When her father’s actions are displayed, she acts as though she hasn’t a clue and then she turns around and […]

York, England. My Take It was a bit of a shock to learn that Ruso was back with the army. Although, events in Caveat Emptor, 4, may well have made it seem like the safer choice, LOL. I’m not sure if it was Tilla’s boredom or the family that encouraged Ruso to go back! Do read the character list at the start of the book. Downie has been clever, and it’s a fun read. Even more fun is how skeptical Tilla is about how this reading thing could be. The bit about the medication and blaming it on Tilla was roughly done. I did enjoy the setting, but for the most part, this is as confusing and frustrating to read as a contemporary police procedural with all sorts of hints dropped, […]

This is Milchman’s first novel. An impressive tale. My Take This was excellently written and incredibly depressing. I just cried and cried at the start, the middle, and the end at all the loss. All the stupid, senseless loss. Milchman was amazing at how well she strung this out, how she built the suspense. The reasons behind Brendan’s suicide, those initial scenes as Nora goes back in her mind about the night he died. It still makes me cry. All that love and happiness. Gone. And it’s only worse at the end. I wanted to be annoyed with Nora’s character for behaving so stupidly, but I kept remembering that she’s a normal person. An everyday, average woman who simply happens to be married to a cop. She never intended to be an investigator, and Milchman portrays this […]
