Book Description

As if stumbling over a dead body isn't enough, Crystal Cartwright finds herself playing surrogate mother to two small boys when their father--her neighbor--doesn't come home. The kids aren't much trouble, but the thieves, drug dealers and kidnappers they're about to encounter are.

Detective Jack Dunlevy, a cop down on his luck, draws the cases no one else wants. A simple investigation involving a dead homeless man quickly changes as Crystal enlists Jack's help with the children. Drawn into a mystery that none of them could have anticipated, they're faced with a situation that will change their lives forever.

Don't miss Family Ties, Book Two and Family Honor, Book Three of A Cop In The Family


Editorial Reviews

Review

"Be sure to add Family Secrets by Jamie Hill to your reading list, you'll be glad you did." ~5 Hearts ~ Anita, The Romance Studio

From the Author

Thanks for checking out my work. If you like romantic suspense I recommend my "A Cop in the Family" series: Family Secrets, Family Ties and Family Honor. I also have a short novella available in Kindle format only called On the Edge.

If you like straight romance, may I suggest Secrets and Lies and Playing For Keeps.

My collection of romantic short stories is pulled together into one book called Impulsive, and each story is available separately as an Amazon short.

I'm currently working on a new romantic suspense series for the fall of 2013 called Witness Security.

I hope you enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read... March 13, 2012

Love this series and the way she writes but I really hated the way that Crystal smoked constantly. I kept thinking "why would he want to kiss her, cuddle with her when she had to stink of smoke and taste like an ashtray?" Why have her be a smoker and to top it off - a chain smoker? To what purpose? Kind of tainted the romantic parts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved most of it??!! February 6, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Adorable boys!! Likable hero and heroine. Engrossed me for about the first third of the book. Would have given it a 5 star except for.....

Heroine is s smoker, okay, fine she was not a mother when she acquired two little boys, but smoking in front of them, with them in the same room? not cool.

Hero is driving to negotiate kidnappers for return of loved one's and yet he's JOKING????? with a fellow cop and LAUGHING???? REALLLYYYY????

Hero is negotiating with madmen to bring home the woman he loves and a little boy he love's but he is sarcastic, mocking almost instigating the kidnappers who hold your loved one's fate??? not ccol.

I think too many people who read books on Amazon are to quick to give an enjoyable read a 5 star rating. I reserve that high a praise for someone who has truly moved me, not just entertained me.

I would reccomend this book, because it has alot of good aspects to it, BUT NOT a 5 star read for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved It January 30, 2012
By kooks
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I originally didn't plan to get this but since I am hard core romance reader with no mystery/murder's under my belt but it was free I thought what the heck. This book I would have paid going rate for a paperback, I am so glad I read it. I would describe this as mainly a murder mystery with a really good romance in the making . Even though I figured out who the villian was there were still some twists that kept me interested and surprised. The children were adorable and the h was so endearing I felt for her. The H sounded like a real sweetheart you just wanted to coddle him. Anyway, read it and weep....I did. Enjoy

More About the Author

Jamie Hill was born and raised in a beautiful, mid-sized town in Midwest, USA. At various times she wanted to be a veterinarian, teacher, cheerleader, TV star or a famous singer. The one thing she always wanted to be was a writer. Starting at about age ten, she penned romance as she envisioned it in one spiral notebook after another.

When she's not working at the day job she loves, Jamie enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and watching movies (the scarier the better!) In her 'spare time' she can often be found writing, editing, or doing something more mundane like housework. After that, she's probably taking a nap. She loves to hear from readers, so feel free to drop her a line.
