Review of The Steele Collection 1-3 by Aaron Patterson
598769
I really enjoyed this collection of some very well written books.  It was like reading actual events narrated by Sarah Steele. Youd never know they were three great books written by a male of our specie.  Book one leads to book two and two leads to the finale.  It has a lot of twists and surprise turns that catch you off guard.  It also has a peek into the sociopathic villains mind.  The characters seem real and easy to believe. I strongly recommend this collection and would give it a five star rating.

By now between my wife and my self you realize that we do enjoy the readings of James Patterson, at times he will have series which this he included and to get the full attention of them I would advise getting both of these books, he is amazing with his work and without a doubt I do recommend these two series "Country" and "Cross County" so far has been so great so I do hope many will give these a try plus many of those he has and enjoy them as much as I have.  I wish him the very best and I do thank you so much for allowing me to speak about this great writer.

I really enjoyed this collection. Well written and does not stall too long in any of its story. Characters are many and are used throughout the series so it is important that you get to know them and not skip over any of the details

I love the series. I have always liked Steele and his team. I will be happy with the next one when Van gets his own story.

I thought the story line was great! Having visited Berlin in the past year helped me with the story line and how the story developed. I enjoy Patterson's style of writing and the stories he develops. A lot of his books are similar but fun to read.

The change in Steele's character is what stuck me the most about this book. After I became aware that the series has only one more book, Man of Steele, that made more sense. Daggers and Steele's relationship is more of a focus in  this book and seems to be getting to a conclusion as well. This was the meet the parents book and done in the humorous way that Steele handles all big moments, badly. So sorry to know the series is coming to an end. I have looked forward to each new instalment and new case.

I saw Sarah at a library program focused on local mystery writers. I had read Louisa's War and decided to read the Simon Shaw series, so I ordered the first two in Kindle. It just took a few pages to discovered that I had read them before, probably from the library as I didn't own any of the books. I enjoyed the first two, then found Fugitive King at Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh, then bought the last two as Kindle books. There is also a book with short stories about Simon that is available on Kindle.

I highly recommend the series to any one who likes good mysteries. Simon is a college history professor at a small (fictional) college. The murders in the books happened in the past, although there might be some new murders once Simon starts looking into the history behind the murder.

I like the path that the author took for this presentation.  I would recommend this 3-book collection without any hesitation.

Cesium's Capture by Sabrina York is the book in this set I have read.  I do not write spoiler reviews.  I will say the reader will not be disappointed in this story.  If this is indicative of the other stories in this collection there will be many captivating hours still to read.  Now I need to start at the first story and begin my journey.

I would rate this book a 5 if it wasn't a cliff-hanger.  I do like Maggie, her family, John & her neighbors.  I am just glad that the next books in the series are already available.  I hope it doesn't take the entire 8 books to ever get through the corruption in the town!  Cliff-hangers are the exact reason I have stopped buying James Patterson's books.

My sons got hooked on James Patterson's books a few years ago, the Maximum Ride series was one we read at night, and now to listen to while commuting to/from school and work is also enjoyable.

That was why I bought this and a few other of her books.  These books were written while I was of about the same age as the heroines. My upbringing was such that you didn't need to or shouldn't try to justify yourself to others who judged you unfairly as long as you had a clear conscience. If you felt angry or hurt by their judgments, you kept it to yourself. Steele's stories reflected similar character traits, and I could identify with the heroines (and still can).

THE OUTFIT by Richard Stark.

I'm enjoying these stories and find myself wanting to read one right after the other.  Like potato chips, you can't eat just one.  These are about bad guys.  They rob.  They kill.  They don't go to jail.  They're smart.  It's fun to be in this world for a change.  A few times I'm delighted or surprised with something.  I liked the plot in this one.

The narrator John Chancer was ok.

This is book 3 in the 24 book series.  It's about 2/3 or less than a typical novel length.  It's better to read the first three books in order because they have a flow.  In book 1 Parker clashes with the Outfit.  In book 2 Parker gets facial plastic surgery so the Outfit can't find him.  In book 3 the Outfit knows about Parker's surgery, so Parker takes action.

This set of books is a fabulous read. Logan Steele is a gigolo, fulfilling womans fantasies. Each book is romantic, hot and sexy. If you like erotica these books are for you. Do not miss release date 3rd July to get this box set

I enjoyed reading the complete set of books 1-5.  The story is easy to follow and not boring at all.
I like the writing style of Kevin Kneupper and have become a big fan of his work.

I got this collection when it first came out for a great deal.  I honestly wanted it for the last story, Closer to the Edge, because it was the only one I didn't have yet and buying this collection was cheaper than just buying book #4.  I LOVED each book in the series and I honestly don't think you can go wrong with hot Navy Seals and the women who love them.  My favorite stories are #1 (A Beautiful Lie) and #4 (Closer to the Edge).  LOVED the books. Loved the men. Loved the women who loved the men. And loved their stories that may be a bit out there, but still a fun soap opera.  And even paying full price is a GREAT deal!
