I have just recently discovered JoAnn Ross and find her writing delightful. This story started out with a bang and believe me, it didn't stop.  I think readers of "No Safe Place" will quickly be drawn into a well-written and engrossing romantic suspense.

I received a copy of this book from eBook Discovery in exchange for my honest review. Jeremiah, a Navy SEAL,  ends up on the same cruise ship as the woman he loves.  He hasn't seen her in five years.  Emma is traveling with her sister and her daughter.  I don't want to spoil it by telling you what happens.  This is an excellent romantic suspense book.  I highly recommend it.

This is not your run of the mill,  romantic suspense.  The main characters are well developed and real.  Just the right amount of suspense with sweet douses of married love, I wished it was longer.  Get it you won't be  sorry....

I loved the twist and turns in the relationship between Gabe and Elle. They have been dancing around each other since high school, but what really brings it all to a HEA is the twists and turns in the suspense part of "Safe From Harm". The second in the series, it is a stand alone book that has its main focus on Gabe and Elle. My favorite genre is romantic suspense and this one delivers with Gabe and Elle both being targets from a crazed family that hates the government and knows no bounds when it comes to targeting officials. Along with the great suspense, the chemistry between Gabe and Elle was intense and steady while they were dealing with the threats. Their romance is slow to blossom, but the author gives us plenty of background and misunderstandings between Gabe and Elle. When Gabe and Elle finally come together, you just have the ahhh feeling. Kate Serine gives you a well developed story that will keep you turning pages. A must read for all romantic suspense readers. Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for gifting me with "Safe From Harm" and asking for my honest opinion. This is mine. 4.25 Stars!

Beneath the Surface by Lynn H. Blackburn is an exciting romantic suspense novel. I was very pleased with this story. It offered suspense, mystery, and some romance. As the plot raced on, I found myself curious about who was behind the murders and what would happen next.

The leading female protagonist has a slight idea but could not see the whole picture. I appreciated this, because it kept me in the dark as to who was behind it all. The building romance between the leading protagonists was fun to follow. Both had a crush on each other but did not realize it until an investigation dangers them both. Ryan is best of buds with the brother of the woman he loves. Kirk is the big protective brother of Leigh. Leigh always held a secret crush on Ryan. This complicates things further and made the connection to the characters easier. I loved them all. Kirk, Ryan, Gabe, and Leigh were my favorite group of characters. They're the good guys. Beneath the Surface offers a lot of intrigue. The characterization and action propelled me through the pages quickly. It was hard to put this book down...overall, I highly recommend to all readers.

I received this copy from the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

I was pleasantly surprised. This book is written in  a present tense which is something that seems difficult to master (and I normally don't care for), but Ms. Blanchard pulls it off amazingly. Anchor is a well written, edge of your seat romantic suspense that has some twists I didn't see coming. Her characters are well developed and likeable and her villain , while not likable, is understandable in a sick kind of way.
This is a definite must read from me.

A great romantic suspense story with just enough sadness.  I really loved the female lead.  A female who can take care of herself, but has to take a break to deal with her emotions.  Thanks for a great reading escape.

"She'd entered the danger zone where trust and insecurity battled for ownership of her mind."

I absolutely love romantic suspense. In fact, it's one of the very first genres I read and one that got me completely hooked onto reading. There was absolutely no question of me NOT reading this book when I saw it was romantic suspense so of course, I gobbled it up in one sitting. While this book was certainly an attention-grabber, I felt like it was lacking...intensity. You know, the kind that makes you want to clutch your heart or makes you agonize over a character's decisions.

Mind you, I could barely put it down. It held me enough to read it straight on, but it wasn't a book where the story and characters stayed with me.

So what's this book about, hmm? I think I'll let Lacey do the honors.

"I am totally pissed off. I have a headache from hell. My business was robbed. My dad's been missing for four days and no one can find him. And now, you're here. What the hell else can go wrong?"

In other words, Lacey's life in a nutshell. She is on her way to meet her father, Bill, and his girlfriend Mona, expecting an engagement but instead, receives the word that her father is missing. Caleb Mansfield, her father's former protge, shows up in town to help find him. The catch here is that Caleb is her former lover and the heartbreaker, which makes Lacey feel even more annoyed and hurt. Yep, lots of water under the bridge. *ruh-roh*

"You knew I'd fallen for you. I thought we had something special, something real. He said no and you stood there and watched it happen. You let it happen. That's a fact. Lie to me again and I'm out of here."

"I didn't challenge him because I'm the one who asked him to do it."

"Nice. If that's what you do to people you're crazy about, I feel sorry for your enemies."

Despite her trepidation and fears of insecurity, Lacey realizes that she needs Caleb, needs his help and support. For all the wrongs and misunderstandings between them, their love for Bill overshadowed their personal feelings. Time was running out, and it wasn't on their side.

"I didn't want him to be involved, you know. But I'm running out of options. I'm losing my dad, Caleb. I can feel it."

The suspense aspect was decent. Around 20% or so, one of the perpetrators is revealed so it was all the matter of whether or not Lacey and Caleb could find her dad. I did enjoy the multiple POVs, not just of Lacey or Caleb, but the ones with the 'bad guys' and the detectives. Gives the book a full accounting of the events as they unfold and really adds depth to the plot.

The ending was a bit rushed, but it didn't derail me from enjoying the story.

4 STARS!!!

Very impressive.  The suspense and action keep you on your toes while the romance has you smiling. Charlie had lived with a mother full of fear and paranoia her whole life.  When her mother passes on she finds out that maybe she should have stayed hidden. Jaxson was adopted by a father she never knew. She is now the heir to her father's business. Jaxson is not happy about this and sparks fly.  In between this she meets family and the big action begins. Betrayal blindsides her.  Can she escape and recover? Will Jaxson find and save her?. It's a powerful read that is a must read!

I was given this e-book by the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. My conclusions are my own. I was not compensated in any way.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading historical romantic suspense. I could not put the book down. I found myself taken in emotionally by the characters. The main character is what the title is fearless.

I did not realize this novel was going to be classified as romantic suspense.  That is my fault for not paying more attention.  It turned out that I was very pleasantly surprised and now have a high regard for the writing talents of B. J. Daniels.  The mystery aspects have good depth of plotting which engaged my desire to solve the puzzle set before me added to a really nice romance.  When you add in the descriptions of the locale around Beartooth, Montana, and the people who populate that small town it made for a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience.

The story begins when Rylan West returns to Beartooth after eleven years of failing to find peace and contentment any longer on the rodeo circuit.  His return adds to the trauma of having the local sheriff begin to re-investigate the death of Rylan's sister Ginny all those years ago.  Destry Grant was in love with Rylan and expected to marry and spend the rest of her life with him.  Having her brother Carson suspected of being involved in Ginny's death tore the two lovers apart.  Even though no proof existed to allow Carson to be arrested, most people in that small town tried and convicted him in their minds.  Now Carson has been called back to Beartooth by his father and all the old wounds have been reopened.  Except now......what will happen when Destry and Rylan put aside their differences long enough to try to find clues overlooked before?

I would certainly recommend this novel to anyone who likes to solve puzzles because the author has presented a whole slew of them.  Small towns are just like their larger counterparts, secrets abound and most people will go to great lengths to keep them hidden.  The people who populate this particular small town are deftly drawn and feel and act like real, natural people.  Not necessarily all good and not necessarily all bad.  There was one time when I really began to feel I knew what was going to happen only to have the author turn away in another direction and I knew I was wrong.  This story was very well plotted and executed.  And I can be really picky too!  The romantic element is wonderfully played out over the entire length of the story.  Destry and Rylan have many problems from the past they need to work through and they do that in a realistic manner which made me want to cheer.  All too often an author will force characters to act in ways which just make me cringe, but these two did not rely on sex to solve all their problems.  There is, in fact, only one intimate encounter which the author writes in such a way as to leave the reader the opportunity to fill in their own imaginings.  I will definitely be investigating more novels written by this author.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Redemption/dp/0373777574/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Redemption</a>&nbsp;is one I'm going to check out next.

Kate Allenton has given us a new book which will provide several hours of reading pleasure!!!  This is the second book in the "Carrington-Hill Investigations" series, however, it can be read as a stand-alone novel.  I really enjoyed this romantic suspense!  In the newest case for CH Investigations, Sara is assigned to work with philanthropist and gorgeous bachelor, Collin Martin.  Someone is killing his ex-girlfriends.  Sara goes undercover as his current girlfriend to flush the killer out.  Sara and Collin are drawn to each other, but Sara has a strict person policy not to get involved with her clients.  Their safety comes first. I don't want to give away too much of the story, but every time I thought I had everything figured out, something happened to make me doubt my conclusion.  You need to get the book so you can find out for yourself how everything works out!!!  You won't regret it!!

Lynette Eason's first book in her "Deadly Reunions Series", When the Smoke Clears, was one of my favourite romantic suspense novels in 2012, so I have been greatly looking forward to getting my hands on the next installment.

When A Heart Stops was everything I hoped for and more! I found it to be a mesmerizing read, one that sizzled with suspense and had me devouring the pages at top speed. Serena Hopkins is a fabulous character, a strong woman who confidently moves in her world of being a medical examiner, and yet someone who has a tender side looking for someone who will love her the way she is. The cat and mouse game that Serena and Dominic are drawn into with the serial killer is expertly played out in the pages of this story, keeping me guessing about what would happen next. And yet that plot line is nicely balanced with the relationship that unfolds between them as well, one handled with just the right dose of romance. As with the first book in the series, the term "romantic suspense" shouldn't keep the male readers from diving into this book, as I found myself enjoying every moment of this book. The writing is crisp, the characters are interesting and believable, and the suspense kept me glued to the pages. Add in a dose of faith, and you've created just the right formula for an entertaining evening spent with a good novel.

One warning though. After reading this book, you may not want to sleep with your light off. The suspense in this novel is just that good. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I give this book my highest recommendation, and 5 out of 5 stars.

Breaking Point is the first book Ive read by this author, and, wow, it was a great romantic suspense!  Now I understand why so many of my friends are fans of the I-Team series.

The plot is fully-developed with non-stop action practically throughout the entire book as journalist Natalie Benoit and U.S. Marshal Zach McBride escape captivity from a demented drug lord, Cardenas, who thrives on rape, torture, and murder. The danger doesnt stop there, though, once Zach and Natalie cross the border to the U.S.  Natalies life is still in danger, and even though Zach doesnt think a relationship between them will work, he continues to remain in her life, determined to protect her until Cardenas is caught.

Zach, Natalie, and other characters featured in previous I-Team books work together to figure out why a Mexican drug lord is intent on killing Natalie, a local Denver journalist with no connection to Cardenas and his operations. The story kept my interest as I anxiously waited for all of the antagonists and their motives to be revealed. The tension and suspense build to a
riveting climax where the fear and terror are palpable.

Natalie is one of my favorite heroines. Shes intelligent, courageous, resourceful, and she doesnt take unnecessary chances that will leave her vulnerable to attack. Zach is an ideal, but tortured hero who is confident and competent in doing battle with his enemies, but runs away from the inner demons that continue to plague him.  It will take a lot of patience and love for Natalie to hold onto any hope they can have a future together. Zach has managed to awaken feelings in Natalie that she thought could never be resurrected. In the midst of all of the danger, Zach and Natalie are able to help each other work through the grief that has consumed their lives.  The chemistry between them is explosive, and their romance sizzles with passion.

Even though I hadnt read any of the previous I-Team novels, I was able to follow the plot without feeling lost or confused.  This book can be read as a standalone, and if you enjoy romantic suspense, I highly recommend Breaking Point.

I loved this story. A stalker, an abusive ex on the hunt, an an alpha cop standing between them and her. Now that's a recipe for a romantic suspense!
