An exciting action novel that, if anything, is a bit of improvement on the first novel of the series.  The character development was subdued.  The action was non-stop.  I could picture each scene very clearly.  This author clearly has 5 star potential in the leagues of Crais and Child with a bit more plot polishing.  I'll have him on my "must read" list into the future.

One word of thanks:  I find that sex scenes in books have gone past the point of holding any value.  I find Mr. Anderson's approach of "cutting before the action" to be refreshing.

This is the first book i have read by M.L.Bullock  but it certainly won't be the last. The characters are very realistic and the paranormal elements grabbed my attention from the beginning. I felt like there was a very smooth flow to the story that made it one that I couldn't put down. Hints of a budding relationship between Cassidy and Midas has me anxious to read the next case for the Gulf Coast Paranormal Team! A great read that was provided by my kindle unlimited subscription.

What a great story; I enjoyed it from start to finish and read it in one sitting. Everything moved along at a great pace, and the plot twists and reveals worked perfectly. Plus, I didn't notice a single typo or grammar problem, and I'm a certified grammar Nazi.

Pleasurable reading.

I was also given this book as an advance copy in return for an honest review.  What a great read, I took my time because I didn't want it to end, that's is how good it was.  Very easy to get sucked into the story, the places and the adventure.  I too was sitting the VW with them as they drove from town to town, you could almost smell the exhaust.  Hope the adventure continues with these two, because I am waiting to start book three.

What a great read, full of action, and exciting. The author tells the story in a way that flows well between the different story lines. It never gets boring, and it leaves you wanting more. A great sequel.

Great action without a lot of overly detailed tech.  Keeps you moving and wondering what's next.  It's a great read.

I love the story because it flows smoothly and I can follow the many characters without missing a beat. Of course you must read the first book in order to follow the story.

This one picked up from the previous book with a bang!  The action flowing from page to page and chapter to chapter.  Looking forward to starting the next adventure.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well the characters in Doing Max Vinyl stayed with me through frequent interruptions over a reading period of five days.  I wanted to know more about Annie Ogden, the main character, right away, but the author teased me, and let me know only a little at a time.

The storyline moves along quickly, with a mix of action that leans toward the unexpected.  The story is told from multiple viewpoints smoothly with no need for me to backtrack to make it coherent.

Doing Max Vinyl is a thoroughly enjoyable action novel.  I'm looking forward to reading more about Annie Ogden's adventures.

I was gifted a paperback of The Ultimate Agent from Derek.
Before I start this review I will add that this is not my usual genre, so I can't review anything genre specific.
What I can say, is what a seriously FUN read. From the very first chapter I was drawn into this world, and it held my attention all the way through. It was fast-paced, riveting, action-packed and did I mention FUN?
The characters are well fleshed out and interesting. The world building is out standing. But I think my favorite part of Derek's writing is his dialogue. He has a gift with dialogue - which just happens to be my favorite thing to read and write!
There was even a touch of romance.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book. I look forward to seeing more work like this!

I could not put this book down. It is a smooth read that moves swiftly. There are a lot of interesting issues brought up about politics and gender in marriage and in between city and country folk.

Some of it is a bit dated, especially Louise's secret desire to be dominated by her husband.

The action and suspense is quite good and moves with the pace of a movie. I recommend this!

I lost quite a bit of sleep in the process of reading this book. Once I got a few chapters in, the story practically read itself. With wonderful flow and great plot, I finished the book faster than expected and the only true disappointment I had was that there wasn't already a second book to continue.
The character development in Gateway is some of the best I've seen. I won't risk spoiling anything to expound upon it greatly, but so many books, I believe, have rather flat characters, whereas Gateway does well to develop not only the main character, but villains and side characters.
Brian's down-to-earth portrayal of the military is refreshing amidst so many "gung ho" military-esque novels, and it's easy to see his prior experience amidst the paragraphs, which in my opinion is the mark of a great author; saturation of experience and research in novels.
I've already recommended this book to a number of my colleagues.

Still waiting on the next one.
