Book Description

January 1, 2004
A Town in Jeopardy -- A window smashed. A local teenager assaulted. The close-knit community of Lakeview is panicked when a gang of unruly teens wreaks havoc in this sleepy Virginia hamlet. But Sheriff Jake Reed, a former D.C. cop, seems just the man to put a stop to the vandalism.

A Woman in Danger -- Tiffany Anderson thought the so-called "crime wave" was nothing but a bunch of summer boys with too much money and time on their hands. But when she suddenly becomes the gang's target, Tiffany must cling to her faith that God will send a protector her way . . .

A Man of Secrets -- Keeping an eye on Tiffany in the line of duty, Jake finds himself drawn to the feisty redhead who reached out to the needy. But haunted by his troubled past, he's leery of spending time with a woman who evokes feelings he'd thought long buried. Then Tiffany vanishes, and Jake can only pray he'll find her in time. Because suddenly he understands that God didn't mean for him to be alone, but to share his life with the woman who shares his faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humor, suspense, mystery and romance, January 16, 2004
This review is from: Still Waters (The Lakeview Series #1) (Steeple Hill Women's Fiction #4) (Paperback)
When I read the first pages of this book, I had to buy it. I immediately identified with the heroine, Tiffany, and was compelled to turn the pages to find out what she would do next. The book was a quick read, and a real page turner. This is the first book I have read in a while that made me laugh out loud one moment and be indignant for the heroine the next. I guarantee I'll be one of the first in line to buy Shirlee McCoy's next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars More of a romance than a suspense, December 1, 2004
This review is from: Still Waters (The Lakeview Series #1) (Steeple Hill Women's Fiction #4) (Paperback)
This is a beautiful romance, although I didn't think the suspense element was very strong. There were very suspenseful moments, well-timed, that kept the pace of the story, but somehow there didn't seem to be that tense aura of danger overshadowing the action. Center stage is the love story of Jake and Tiffany.

The plot draws Jake's change of heart with a very skillful, delicate hand. It was gradual, believable and satisfying to watch as he realizes the flaws in his preconceived notions about marriage for his life. The characters are consistent and realistic. Tiffany's own fears about her singleness and her willingness to "compromise" in order to ensure security in a married relationship are time-worn issues many single women will relate to. I didn't particularly like her snotty boyfriend, but then again, I wasn't meant to.

The author handled the faith element with skill and elegance. Nothing "in your face" or preachy, no "Christian-ese" language or blind, unrealistic belief. It was wonderfully satisfying to see Inspirational fiction written with such natural grace.

In all, a lovely romance, well-written and entertaining. I look forward to more from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice Read. I couldn't put it down., January 13, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Still Waters (The Lakeview Series #1) (Steeple Hill Women's Fiction #4) (Paperback)
STILL WATERS has a great blend of romance, suspense and faith. The characters came alive as I read the story and I really cared about what happened to them. I finished the book in one sit-down, and wished there were more. Can't wait for another book by this author.
