Son of the Morning [Mass Market Paperback] Review

Son of the Morning [Mass Market Paperback]Grace has everything to lose: a happy life with a loving husband, a wonderful brother and an amazing career. She loses it all in one moment. To save herself and avenge the murders of her husband and brother, she is on the run with the very documents that caused all this horror. The police, thinking she killed her husband and brother, and the killer, who wants the documents, are both after her, but she is a strong and an intelligent woman and she gets away...just barely . She learns "street smarts" and how to survive despite this agressive murderer on her tail.
When Grace discovers the mystery the documents hold, she knows she must travel through time as the documents explain to meet Black Niall, who she has been dreaming about since she first discovered the documents. He has shared her hot dreams and their lust for each other is so powerful all he has to do is kiss her to make her explode with passion.
With Niall's help, they travel back to 1998 to face the ruthless killer. Niall is almost God-like in his strength and the love he shares with Grace makes you wonder if they were made for each other.
I expected a romance novel but instead, this novel was filled with action, suspence and VERY little romance...but when she finally does meet Black Niall (65 pages away from the end of the book!) they share some amazingly HOT scenes!! The story reminded me of the movie "The Fugitive" mixed with the film "Mission Impossible," But I didn't find the lack of romance all that dissapointing because the story was so well-written and interesting.
This story should be classified as a suspence thriller. She doesn't even meet the hero until page 340 (The story ends at page 400). Most of the novel is about her running from the killers. It's exciting and you really come to love Grace and care about her character. She is so three-dimensional, she seems like a real person.
Black Niall sounds delicious but he also plays a minor role in the novel. He is like the supporting character and he comes across as 2-dimensional. I never fell in love with him but I did lust after him.
The ending was sweet but I had another ending in mind that never came to fruition. However, that made the novel UNpredictable and that's a good thing. This is my first novel to read by Linda Howard, and I see myself picking up MANY more in the future. I HIGHLY recommend!

The Morning After [Paperback] Review

The Morning After [Paperback]This was truly a strong suspense novel.I realize that it's billed as a "romantic suspense" but trust me there is hardly any romance to be found in these pages so those of you that are scared off by the idea of romance will be safe in picking up this title.
There were a lot of character's but I don't think there were so many that one could not keep track of what was going on.Really I feel that each character did play it's part in the telling of the story.
Someone is going around killing people by burying them alive with a dead corpse.Why?How are they connected?These are the questions that haunt Detective Pierce Reed.From the beginning the killer later dubbed "The Grave Robber" draws Reed into his horrid game.Reed knows the first victim.Now it's a race against the clock to catch this killer before he kills again.
Nikki Gillette is a hard core journalist.She is after the story that will break and at the same time make her career.She has a bad blemish on her record so she has to work twice as hard to prove that she can get the job done.While working on local interest stuff she also works at trying to scoop not only her co-worker but the competition by getting all the information regarding the Grave Robber.Of course she is also in communication with the killer.He has a bone to pick with her as well.Soon this hard core newspaper journalist, and the tough as nails detective find that they have more in common then they thought.A Killer to be exact.
Nikki was an obnoxious character at times and yes, this did get on my nerves after a time.Still the twists and turns that Ms. Jackson took us on was well worth one of her annoying characters.Ms. Jackson is well on her way to becoming a mainstream suspense novelist.

Product Description:
A woman is frantic as she awakens in a dark, closed space. From above her comes the muffled sound of cruel laughter, followed by the hard splatter of dirt. Pure terror takes over as she realizes she's being buried alive, and her last breath is a scream that no one but a sadistic killer will hear. To journalist Nikki Gillette, this disturbing story is a ticket out of small - town Savannah and on to the big time. She's already given the killer a nickname - The Grave Robber - and she's spending every minute dogging tough cop Pierce Reed's investigation, trailing him through Savannah's deep thickets and crumbling cemeteries...even though she's starting to wonder about the secrets he's keeping. Another body is found...and another. Each gruesome discovery unnerves Nikki a little more...there's something familiar about it, something she should know. Now, as a serial killer pulls her ever deeper into his sick game, she has no idea how close she's getting to the truth - or how deadly it will be.

Beyond Tuesday Morning (September 11 Series #2) (Paperback) Review

Beyond Tuesday MorningThis book is about healing and moving on past what happened on 9-11.This book is about Jamie, struggling with just that, as she gets involved with two men.She is constantly struggling with leaving the memories of Jake behind and moving on.

The research on what happened on 9-11 was excellent.I thought that Kingsbury did a wonderful job, capturing the depth of people's pain after what happened to our Twin Towers.I loved how she had Jamie do volunteer work, helping people who lost loved ones in 9-11.

As usual, Kingsbury's books rock!I look forward to reading more from her.
