REVIEW: Ramsey Rules by Jo Goodman

JayneB- Reviews / Book Reviews / C+ ReviewsBlackmail / Contemporary / domestic violence / police / policeman / security / West Virginia7 Comments

Ramsey Masters is the Ridge Outlet Theft Prevention Specialist, that is, she spends her days stopping shoplifters.

REVIEW: Prep School Confidential by Kara Taylor

REVIEW: Secretive Stranger by Jennifer Greene

JayneB- Reviews / EbooksBlackmail / Harlequin / Jennifer-Greene / murder-investigation6 Comments

Dear Ms. Greene, Even though I’ve enjoyed other category books you’ve written, I don’t think I’ve ever tried a romantic suspense book of yours. So when I saw this offered at eharlequin, I decided, “why not?” At first, I thought it might buck my so-so luck with this genre. That ... more >
