Definitely Recommended --M - You should really enjoy this series.

Joanna Wayne never disappoints. Memories at Midnight is a super read with old secrets causing new dangers. I loved the romance between Clint and Darlene. In fact I have loved the entire McCord series! One of the best Intrigue has done.

Joanna Wayne's books are the best. Great stocking stuffer for this Christmas. If you want a book that's packed with suspense, then this is your book. It's a seat of the pants read you'll really enjoy. Keep up the good work, Joanna. Renee

Joanna Wayne gives the McCord saga a boost in her latest Intrigue, "Memories at Midnight." An FBI agent has returned to her hometown at the urging of her mentor, only to wind up in the middle of an attack that leaves her with amnesia and her mentor mysteriously missing. She's forced to turn to the town sheriff, with whom she had a relationship she can't remember, and who has more than a few secrets of his own.

A page-turner to keep you up all night, "Memories" is an able blending of past and present, love and danger, that shouldn't fail to capture any reader. Clint and Darlene's previous love affair is intertwined with their current flirtation very effectively, making it clear this is a couple with a future. The tangled web of relationships between everyone involved adds another layer to the tale, although the impact of Wayne's story is diminished somewhat through Harlequin's atrocious decision to spell out the relationship between Clint and McCord in all of the ads for "The McCord Family Countdown," when she keeps it a studied secret through much of the book. Still, there's enough danger and action, as well as a complex mystery, to overshadow that minor annoyance.

Unlike so many books, it's refreshing to see one set in the two weeks before Christmas that barely mentions the holiday. (Not surprisingly, the characters have better things to do). And how's this for a Christmas present: next year will finally bring the sequels to "Family Ties" (still my choice for her best book) when Wayne offers a new trilogy about the Randolph family in the summer. If they're as good as this, her fans will be waiting on pins and needles until they arrive.

In Memories at Midnight, Joanna Wayne blends thrilling mystery and heart-tugging romance to create another page turner! Her characters are complex and involving. I felt their frustration, shared their pain, and most importantly, fell in love with them! Add this one to your collection!

Wow! Ms. Wayne is one of the best! Great plot, great characters, great love story! I can't wait for the next one.

Joanna Wayne can always be counted on for a super read. Memories at Midnight is yet another winner!

Joanna Wayne doesn't disappoint with her latest Intrigue. Memories at Midnight is a book for the keeper shelf.

I couldn't put this book down. Ms. Wayne always tells a good story and her men are scrumptious.

I'm getting an extra copy for my sister in law for Christmas.

When's the next one, Ms. Wayne?
