This review is from: New Orleans Detectives Book One: Cherished Witness (Kindle Edition)

I loved this book. It grabbed me from the first page and didn't let go until the end. It has edge-of-your-seat action with each attempt on their lives becoming increasingly serious, especially when the second man, posing as a Witsec agent, enters the fray. The characters are great. I love J.T. and Karen, and love to hate the bad guys. The love between the main characters is beautiful and believable, the sex scenes both sensitive and sensuous. It is heart-wrenching when a misunderstanding tears them apart. The plot thickens and while we know two men are pursuing her, we're not sure of the second man's motives. He's supposed to bring her back to Chicago for Victor, Antonio's brother, who intends to marry her, but his actions do not match what he says. Gradually, what appears to be concern changes into something we can only term as deadly. Every chapter has the reader desperate for more. Both J.T. and Karen endure more than anyone should, but they keep on fighting, determined to come out on top. This is one of the best romantic suspense books I've ever read and I will certainly look for this author's next book. - jaye Leyel
