The latest Feehan novel “Murder game” is the seventh story in the ghost walker series. This is Kadan and Tansy’s story. I’m going to start out by saying that I have so far enjoyed all the ghost walker books and this one was no different.

People are dying in the most gruesome manner and Kadan has been brought in to investigate. There is a fear that some or all of the other ghost walkers may be involved because of the characteristic of the murders and the efficiency of the murderer. Kadan is therefore under orders to keep his investigation a secret from the other ghost walkers. Kadan is determined to catch the killer and prove that his “brothers” are not involved. To do this he sets out to enlist the help of Tansy.

Getting her to work with him may not be so easy. Tansy is one of Whitney’s enhanced girls. She has retired to the Sierra mountains in search of peace an solitude after years of turbulence. From the time she was a teenager she worked with the police and FBI to catch the vilest of murderers using her enhanced gifts. Unfortunately due to her emphatic talent she is unable to rid herself of the voices and presence of the murderers and the victims even after the case is closed. Because of conditioning by Whitney throught her life she was never taught the necessary defenses to shield herself. This led to a nervous breakdown and her subsequent withdrawal from society.

Kadan catches up with her in the mountains where she is working her freelance job, taking pictures for National Geographic. Kadan’s first reaction to Tansy is unnerving to him and he quickly realizes that she is the woman Whitney paired him with. He has to work hard to convince her to work with him, as she is terrified that she will find herself back in that place near self destruction.

Finally she agrees to work with him and together they set out to track down a killer. They soon realize however, that the situation is infinitely more dangerous to Tansy as the murderer is a `hunter’, and a `dreamwalker’, exactly like her. Stopping him and protecting Tansy will require a joint effort with the other ghost walkers.

I loved this book as Kadan and Tansy are very evenly matched. Kadan who before was very cold and distant suddenly became very intense and human. Tansy was no push over as she stood up to him and gave as good as she got.

I particularly enjoyed the humor that was interjected into the story as Kadan was teased unmercifully by his “brothers” once they realized who Tansy was to him. I also enjoyed the love scenes which, were more intense and more regular than is Ms. Feehan’s style. I did not however think it detracted from the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next one.

OK, here goes again. Sarah McCartys latest “Promises Reveal” was a bit of a disappointment for me. I’m an ardent fan of the promises series and I couldn’t wait to read her latest, so I was quiet disappointed by this story. If you are like me and you like your erotic romance to have an emphasis on the erotic, you too will be disappointed.

This story like the others is set in the old west at a time when men were strong and silent and women were expected to be seen and not heard. Evie Washington is a woman who feels that she should be able to make her own decisions and live her own life without some man telling her what to do. She is also a talented artist and this is what lands her in trouble. Evie decides to shake up the town and paints a nude portrait of a faceless man. The town immediately draws the conclusion that the portrait is that of the town’s reverend Brad Swanson. With her reputation in ruin Evie and Brad are forced to wed.

Brad Swanson finds himself being forced to the alter to marry Evie although he had always sworn that he would never marry. Even though he has denied that the portrait is of him the town folks do not believe him. Brad finds himself in a position where even though he does not want to get married, he is looking forward to showing Evie that her preconceptions about him are all wrong.

Brad and Evie get married and the marriage starts off on very shaky grounds. This is further complicated when Brad’s past comes calling. Brad now has to protect Evie and his beloved town even though it will mean the revelation of his less than sterling past.

Here are my problems with the book;

• I thought the premise of the story - the shot gun wedding- a little weak. I thought if Brad and Evie really wanted to get out of marrying each other the could have done so.
• The love scenes were a little censored compared to the other “promises”. I suspect that the reason for this is due to the publisher, Berkley in this case, as opposed to the other books which were published by Ellora’s Cave.
• I was not as drawn to the main characters Brad and Evie as I had been in the previous stories and I felt that Ms. McCarty could have spent a little more time developing them
• I found Evie to be a little childish as she flies off the handle at every turn instead of trying to get an explanation.
• Brad on the other hand became quiet annoying with his constant harping on the fact that events of his past made him unworthy.

If you are a fan of Ms. McCarty and the “Promises” series you may still want to read this one. But be warned it’s not one of her best.

Sayre Lynch left her family and her home in Louisiana ten years ago vowing never to return. She however, breaks her vow and returns when she hears of her younger brother’s death. Sayre is devastated to learn that her younger brother, Danny, has allegedly committed suicide and she is wracked with guilt over his death. Before killing himself Danny had attempted to speak with Sayre on the phone. Due to the position she took on her family 10 years ago she refused to take his call. Now she wonders if there was anything she could have done to prevent his death.

Sayre comes from a family who, for all practical purpose, own the town due to the fact that they own the Iron foundry, the town’s only industry. The livelihood of the town and everyone in it is tied into the fortunes of the company. Therein lies the problem, as her father and older brother have a strangle hold on the town’s inhabitants who are solely dependent on Hoyle Industries. In a town where the Hoyles are Kings, corruption is the order of the day.

When Sayre goes home to see her younger brother laid to rest, she realizes that nothing has changed. Her father and older brother are still as corrupt as ever. Much to Sayres chagrin they have hired a shrewd new lawyer, Beck Merchant, to work with them.

Her plans of leaving town immediately after the funeral are delayed, when the sheriff notifies the family that Danny’s death may not have been a suicide. Sayre decides to stay, as she is determined to find out who killed her brother and also to liberate the town from the clutches of the Hoyles.

She is immediately caught up in a web of deceit that threatens to overwhelm her as she finds herself having to deal with the painful memories of the past. Not only does she have to battle her family, she also has to battle the growing attraction she feels toward Beck Merchant. An attraction that she finds unacceptable as she sees him as no better than her corrupt family.

Beck is a man with his own agenda. however when he meets Sayre he finds himself unable to resist the attraction between them. Beck too has his own past to contend with and his own reasons for being the Hoyles “hired gun”.

Sayre and Beck come together despite their obvious differences and despite the fact that they seem to be on different sides of the issues. Sayre feels that Beck is so much better that his employers and tries to convince him that he is on the side of wrong. Beck for his part knows that in Sayre, he has finally found someone he would want to spend the rest of his life with. However he fears that the web of lies and corruption in which they are caught, could end up costing them each other.

Another riveting story by Ms. Brown, who does such a great job of mixing romance and suspense. Although you are able to figure out who the killer is you are still left in suspense about the motive until the very end. Click item below to learn more.

I will say right off, that the weakness of this book is the fact that the villain was rather one dimensional as I do not feel that Ms. Holly spent too much time thinking about him. Having said that, I will say, you don’t read a Stephen King if sleep is your objective so don’t read an Emma Holly if you are looking for a gripping “who done it”. That’s my disclaimer, now on to the review.

Although this book can be classified as “erotic romance” and it was hot, the love scenes were not as explicit (in description and language) as some of her other books. This should appeal to readers who don’t like hard core mixed in with their romance.

The story opens on the world at a time in the future, when humans and Yama (an alien life form), have formed an alliance which calls for “peaceful” co-existence.

The hero, Adrian Philips is an Inspector of police who is reviled and ostracized by his colleagues and superiors alike because he made the decision to participate in an experiment to be implanted surgically by the aliens. When activated, the implant causes the human body to perform beyond it’s normal capabilities. This allows Adrian to be exceptional at his job but the price he pays is high.

Roxanne McAllister is an outcast like Adrian. Her crime, by society’s standards, is being the illegitimate daughter of a famous, now deceased, singer. Roxanne is a woman who lives life on her own terms and she does not care what society thinks of her.

Adrian and Roxanne come together when Roxanne finds him passed out in her garden in the rain after a beating he took from some thugs. Roxanne nurses him back to health and in the process, they engage in an ill fated love affair.

Adrian knows that despite how he feels about Roxanne, he cannot promise her permanence as this would forever ruin his chances of advancement in the force. Roxanne for her part, knows that her reputation will keep them apart and she will not ask him to choose between her and his future.

What ensues is a very tender love story, as these two people come to realize that they need each other more that they need the approval of society.

There is the requisite bad guy and heroine in danger but this novel is really about the love story between Adrian and Roxanne.

Child psychologist, Alex Delaware, teams up again with friend police detective Milo Sturgis to help a patient track down her mother who has disappeared.

The last time Alex saw Melissa Dickinson was eleven years ago when she was a scared seven year old in need of his help. The call from her is surprising, but not unexpected. Melissa needs Alex to advise her on concerns about her mother, who has her own set of unique problems.

Melissa’s mother, Gina suffers from agoraphobia (extreme, intense fear of open or public places) brought on by a vicious attack by an ex lover. The attack ruined her face and her aspirations of becoming a movie star. It also left her unable to function normally for twenty years. As a result of her illness she does not leave her house, therefore Melissa and the servants have been her only source of companionship and support.

While Alex is trying to figure out how to help Melissa and Gina, Gina disappeares without a trace. Enter, Milo, who is on suspension from the police department. Milo and Alex team up to help Melissa find her mother.

The more involved they become in this mystery, the more they realize there is more going on than can be seen on the surface. All the players have secrets that date back twenty years prior to the attack. Alex and Milo must unravel the secrets if they hope to find Gina alive.

Another good read from Jonathan Kellerman. Alex and Milo are two of my favourite suspense characters. Also returning is Robin, Alex’s estranged live in lover. This adds another dynamic to the story as we see Alex trying to do his job, while trying to come to terms with the complex emotional situation that is created by Robin’s return.

My only complaint is, it was fairly obvious who the bad “guy” was fairly early on. However the getting there and the resolution kept me engaged. If you are a fan, this book is worth reading. If you have never read this series this book can stand alone perfectly but some references to the past may confuse you. They do not however detract from the story. Check this product out here;

In this novel about obsession, love and murder, Sandra Brown once again proves that she is a voice to be reckoned with in the “romantic suspense” genre.

Griff Burkett is an ex football hero who was convicted and sent to jail for throwing a game for profit. He was also accused of murder but as this was not proved he was not convicted of that crime. Fresh out of jail he is a desperate man without friends or prospects.

Enter Foster Speakman with a proposition Griff cannot refuse. Foster and wife Laura are desperate to have a child but due to a cruel twist of fate they are unable to do so. Foster proposes Griff should impregnate Laura as he does not want to go the route of artificial insemination as it may bring into question the right of his heir, if records of his birth were to become public.

This is the premise of the story and could even be plausable given the fact that the reader realizes early on that Foster has his own agenda. Griff agrees to participate because he needs the money, Laura agrees out of guilt and a desire to preserve her marriage.

Some may not like thi story because the hero is not your regular paragon of virtue. In fact, he is quiet flawed as he allowed himself to be corrupted by greed. If you like a dose of reality with your romance you will be able to relate to this character as he is no better or worse than the average individual. Given his background you can even understand how he fall came about.

Laura is a woman consumed with guilt as she was driving the vehicle when the accident occured which, resulted in her husbands paralysis. For two years she has been living with this burden and as a result when Foster makes his proposal she goes along even though she knows it is morally wrong.

As expected the relationship between these two started out with a great deal of angst. However given where they both were emotionally, it was inevitable that they would be drawn to each other.
The “course of true love never runs smooth” and it did not for these two, as they find themselves running for their lives, as they are targeted by Griff’s old nemesis. A good, fast read.

This is the latest installment in Lora Leigh’s Breed series. If you are a fan of this series like myself, you will realize that it was worth the wait. If it’s your first experience with this series, then you will not be familiar with the other characters and their stories. However, as their stories do not greatly affect Mercury and Rias story, this book can be read as a stand alone.

This is the story of Mercury and Ria. Mercury is one of the strongest enforcer for the Breeds. He is a mixture of human and lion. Unlike most other Breeds his animal has been forced into hiding inside him as a result of drugs that were forcefully administered to him in the labs after he went berserk and killed some handlers and scientists on learning that the woman who was potentially his mate was dead. Since then he has kept a tight reign on himself inadvertently causing the animal to retreat even further. Mercury is a breed lost, without any form of anchor and without hope of ever finding his place as he believes that his intended mate died years ago. As breeds mate only once there is no hope for him.

Ria is a clerk who works for the Vanderale Industries. She has been sent to Sanctuary to verify (or so she says) their book keeping and to ensure that Vanderales’ money is being well spent. Despite her brilliance and obvious competence at her job, Ria is a woman who has spent her entire life hiding from the world and herself. Despite the strange attraction that she felt toward Mercury even before meeting him, she believes that she will be able to go to Sanctuary, do her job and leave untouched.

When Ria and Mercury meet they are both aware that something extraordinary is about to take place. As events unfold, in vintage Lora Leigh style, both these very strong people will have to learn that they need each other in order to be complete.

I personally liked this story, as Mercury, although a typical alpha male, was also portrayed as very vulnerable due to the weakening of the animal side of his nature and his grief over the loss of his chance at love due to the death of his mate. Ria on the other hand has had her own issues of belonging as she grew up an orphan who depended on the largess of the first Leo and his family.

This book is not for the squeamish as the contents are highly sexual and graphic. I thought this was a great love story between two people who found a place to belong in each other
