REVIEW: Twisted by Laura Griffin (A Different Perspective)

Dear Ms. Griffin, I’ve mentioned before that the reason I don’t read much romantic suspense is that usually one aspect or the other gets shortchanged and I end up disappointed. Your books, however, have usually been the exception. A few little things in them might niggle but I’ve come to expect that in order to [...]

What Jane Has Been Reading, Week of August 29

What Jane Has Been Reading, Week of August 29

Like my previous post, this is actually a retrospective list of what I had read the past couple of weeks: Mistress Bride by Michelle Reid – A discussion of Reid’s books prompted me to pull out this favorite of mine.  I really like how Reid uses societal constraints to keep the protags apart. She did [...]

REVIEW: Snapped by Laura Griffin

REVIEW: Snapped by Laura Griffin

Dear Ms. Griffin, When reading your romantic suspense books, one thing I can count on is that the underlying reason for the suspense plot won’t be too far out in Never Never land. Perhaps there might be a slight lift of my eyebrow or the beginnings of a question on my face but overall, the [...]

Dear Author Recommends for August

Can you believe that it is August already? I can’t. This year has just swept by. We’ve changed up the recommends rules a little bit to accommodate digital book and category book releases. We reviewers are having a hard time keeping up with the new release dates and so we are keeping our print recommendations [...]

REVIEW: Unspeakable by Laura Griffin

REVIEW: Unspeakable by Laura Griffin

Dear Ms. Griffin, You are my go-to author for thrillers and romantic suspense. “Unspeakable” is taut, hot, had me glued to it for the last 100 pages and is on my rec list for July releases. Elaina McCord doesn’t want to be working in the FBI office in Brownsville, Texas but that’s where she was [...]

DA Recommends for July

DA Recommends for July

It’s hard to believe that July is here and 2010 is half over. This year seems to have flown by. I think I might have slept through some of it because I certainly don’t remember the months of April or May. Lady Isabella’s Scandalous Lover by Jennifer Ashley. Recommended by Jane. Bonds of Justice by [...]

Top Romances of 2009 by Jayne

Most of my top books were in the B+ range. I think I only had 2 that were A- grades. I’m not sure if I was being pickier this year or just didn’t read books that wowed me. “I Do” Anthology” “Grave Goods” Ariana Franklin “Whisper of Warning” Laura Griffin “To Beguile a Beast” Elizabeth [...]

REVIEW: Untraceable by Laura Griffin

REVIEW: Untraceable by Laura Griffin

Dear Ms. Griffin, I don’t think readers need to worry that “Untraceable” is a sequel to your last book “Whisper of Warning.” There’s enough background information about the characters to bring newbies up to speed but – and I’m really impressed by this – they can still go back and read that book without fear [...]

REVIEW: Whisper of Warning by Laura Griffin

REVIEW: Whisper of Warning by Laura Griffin

Dear Ms. Griffin, After finishing the first book in this series, “Thread of Fear,” I was looking forward to reading the story of that heroine’s (Fiona) sister, Courtney Glass. I’ll be honest and admit I’m more of a Fiona in real life – I do everything I should, worry about not going too far over [...]

REVIEW: Thread of Fear by Laura Griffin

REVIEW: Thread of Fear by Laura Griffin

Dear Ms Griffin, You impressed me with your response to my review of your previous book, “One Wrong Step.” When I finished it, I wasn’t sure I would care to read another of your books. But your email offering me a copy of “Thread of Fear” sparked my interest because a) of your gracious offer [...]

REVIEW: One Wrong Step by Laura Griffin

REVIEW: One Wrong Step by Laura Griffin

Dear Ms. Griffin, Your second book, “One Wrong Step” came to me in the form of an arc. An incomplete arc since the last bit of the story appears to be missing. However, the romantic suspense portion was all there and I think I can guess the rest. I’d not heard of you before so [...]
