Publisher's Summary:

High in the hills above Albuquerque, New Mexico Detective Zachariah Ellison arrives at the scene of a murder, and not just any murder, but one that definitely falls into the 'gruesome' category even for a seasoned cop like Zach. When another body is found murdered in much the same fashion, Zach knows he's got a serial killer on his hands, and to top it off he's got an assistant district attorney hounding him about the case.

As Zach tries to investigate the crimes while sidestepping nosey Amy Logan, a third body is found and Zach hasn't a clue as to whom the perpetrator might be. Amy Logan has worked hard to put herself through school and pay for law school on her own and now that she's secured a position as assistant district attorney in Albuquerque, she's determined to do everything she can to be the best prosecutor this office has ever seen. And as if luck was following her, she's been assigned to the biggest homicide case the city has ever seen. The only problem she's having is the homicide detective who's leading the investigation-Zach Ellison.

Members Reviews:

I loved this story

I highly recommend this book. It is one that I couldn't put down, to me it was reminicent of the Longmire TV show. He is a detective and she is a prosecuter and there is a case to be solved and all that happens in between. It is a sweet and loving story with just enough "oh my" thrown in. I would like to see a lot more from this author I love her style.

A great book if you like romance, murder and mystery.

I recently finished reading this book and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a homicide detective myself, so I could definitely relate to the main character Zachariah Ellison who was a homicide detective. Det. Ellison was trying to solve three brutal and gruesome murders and along the way he also found the time for some romance too. Although I don't normally read romance novels, this one was a mix of romance, murder and mystery. The author, who is not a cop herself, writes like one. Her attention to detail and specifics was obvious and this only made the book more interesting and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this book. I met the author Marie McGaha at a writer's conference in Georgia and I found that she was a very nice person, down to earth and a real pleasure to be around. She is a very talented writer and I hope she writes additional murder and/or mystery novels.

Landon Harper to her aid, Lou discovers that cupid may have other plans for her love life, and she and Landon share an unforgettable few hours together. Then, a surprise announcement sends everyone into a frenzy.

Will Lou and Landon live happily ever after? Or maybe Lou and Nate are meant to be? Find out where the cherub's arrow lands in Cupid on Deck, a roaring good time aboard a love boat reminiscent of the jazz age.

Members Reviews:

Short, simple and sweet

Nancy Scrofano's Cupid on Deck (read more about it here) is a quick and fun read for any of my fellow single gals looking to commiserate on Valentine's Day.

This was a super cute, short read worth the time spent enjoying it. I laughed out loud, sighed and found myself totally crushing on Landon while liking Lou. That's a pretty tall order and major accomplishment for a story that took less than an hour to read.

The story was unique and sweet. It managed to give enough background about the characters to have their story make sense while leaving enough mystery to build to the ending. Speaking of the happily ever after, this story's finale had me sighing with happiness and left a smile on my face long after reading it.

If you enjoyed Sophie Kinsella's Twenties Girl (read my review here), you'll certainly be a fan of the 20s party theme that came with this book. Carrying Scrofano's signature vintage feel, this was a great stand alone story while also melding well with the niche she has created for herself in her debut novel, True Love Way (read my review here).

I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking to spend a little bit of time watching two crazy kids find love on a boat.

Rating: 4.5 of 5

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and balanced review.

This Novelette is the Cat's Pajamas!

I am a sucker for anything Valentine's-related and my favorite era is the Roaring Twenties, so the premise of Cupid On Deck instantly appealed to me. I really can't think of a better way to spend the most romantic night of the year than on a steamboat, wearing flapper finery! Lou Riley, the heroine of this story, isn't quite as jazzed about the possibility, mostly because she feels like a third wheel with her so-in-love-it's-a-bit-annoying friends Meg and Max. She is cherishing the hope that Nate, her supposed date for the evening, will make the cruise an outing to remember, but things don't go as planned for the twosome and she winds up in another man's arms for the big Charleston dance-off (Fun!)

I think what I appreciated most about Cupid On Desk was how well-developed the characters were. The reader gets interesting and relevant backstories on not just the heroine, but also her best friend and love interest. That's quite a feat within the confines of a novelette! Also, there was a nice character arc for Lou.

Members Reviews:

A very sweet love story

This was a very 'innocent' kind of romance novel about a lady named Sara who is very much in love with her friend, Wes, a cowboy. For her own good, Wes leaves for Montana, trying to put space between them because Wes thinks he isn't good enough for Sara. Heartbroken, Sara starts doing things that her heart tells her she shouldn't. After Sara is involved in a terrible car accident that she may never recover from, Wes returns to her side, determined to win back her love. But Sara is wary of giving her heart away again.

The characters in this book were all believable, and the descriptions given were well planned and not overdone. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Smiles all around

Love this one! Awesome to read! I would definitey suggest this to anyone wanting a warm feeling for true romance!

A Good Romance & Adventure Read

As I was the owner of a horse ranch where we owned, trained and raced quarter horses - I loved the fact that this story takes place in Montana and revolves around my favorite animals - horses and cowboys on a large ranch.

In this tale, Sara is the main character. She is a beautiful young woman with blonde hair that seemed to shine at night as if moonbeams were dancing through her hair. Her life is turned around and upside down by a tragic accident. Can she find and keep the true love she is longing for?

You will have to read this romance adventure to find out.

Publisher's Summary:

But Mitch's death left her with a huge mortgage, one she has trouble paying. When banker Patrick McKenna comes into their lives, everything Camryn has so patiently built is threatened with destruction - but she can't deny that the very attractive Patrick is a threat to her in ways that have nothing to do with money.

Members Reviews:

Time frame for romance is unrealistic

I read this as part of The McKenna Family bundle. This is the first story about the eldest of 5 siblings, the H, who is a loan officer at a bank. The h has a B & B and has struggled to make ends meet for a few years. The main characters meet when her mortgage comes due and she needs to refinance. The H is not convinced that the bank should refinance the loan because he thinks the h is in over her head. The h is a widow with a four year old daughter and she knows that running the B & B is the best way for her to be at home with her daughter and she's convinced she can make a success of things.

+++Spoilers+++

The biggest issue I had with this book is the time frame in which things happen. In a matter of days the h sleeps with the H and then knows she's in love with him and hopes he might propose. They have quite a few bitter disagreements (pretty nasty verbal fights) and he admits he was going to propose and then is very mean to the h about not doing so. This couldn't have been even a week after they meet. It was also stretching things to imagine that the H's grandmother would stand as guarantee for the h's loan after knowing her for a few days. There is a very annoying secondary female character that lives with the h and helps out with the daughter and the B & B. She also meets a guy and then speaks about marrying him after a week. It was all a bit odd and I just didn't see how they could resolve everything and decide to get married in such a short period of time given how mean they were to each other. I wasn't a great believer in their hea.

I Liked it!

Leigh Michaels is one of my favorite Harlequin Romance book authors and I liked this book about the romance of a guy named Patrick McKenna and a lady named Camryn Hastings. I enjoyed this book but didn't find it to be a keeper.

Members Reviews:

ending disappointing!

I enjoyed this book but was disappointed that the story ended so suddenly ! the story I feel had so much more to tell and I did feel cheated, hopefully the story will continue in another book.

A reminder of how music touches our hearts.

AN easy to read stoy with realtionships that are compounded by loss. The thread o music enalbes the young wman to keep hope alive and experience meaningful connections through diffiuclt times.

Sad Story

How a girl looses her father who has gambled & left her heavily in debt. She is forced to leave her beloved home & reside with estranged family with interesting results.

A very sweet story

This is a story about growing up and facing the difficulties in life such as loss of your loved ones, friendship, love for family and people around you. I really fell in love with the main character Maria, and later in the book, her uncle Ambrose. The only sad thing was that it ended quite abruptly. I didn't feel the book was over when I came to the last page, there should be at least a chapter more. I guess a good book should make you ask for more, but this one didn't answer all my questions - so I felt that the story was incomplete... but I still wouldn't want to miss this book.

I love Geraldine O'Neill's books!

I have come to love and appreciate all of Geraldine O'Neill's books, which transport me to another time and place so beautifully! Can't wait for her next book!

Publisher's Summary:

Alex works in a gallery in the small Connecticut town where he moved after inheriting his parents' house. One day, at a local CPR class, he meets Tea, a young woman and aspiring artist who invents a mutual acquaintance named Whitmore as a means of breaking the ice and introducing herself. As their relationship deepens, Alex becomes preoccupied with imagining who Whitmore might be, considering Whitmore to be a paragon of masculine perfection. But when the Whitmore myth begins to unravel, so does Alex's relationship with Tea.

A charming story about how we relate to each other and the devices we sometimes invent in order to make sense of the world around us.

Members Reviews:

Alex, Tea and Whitmore.

'Friends of Whitmore' is an original, short story, which left me creating my own, happier ending.

When Tea chats to Alex after the CPR session, she tries to keep his interest by asking him if he knows people she knows. He admits to not knowing any of them, but desiring to know Tea better, he says he knows Whitmore. From this moment on, Whitmore will be their 'collage', and an important person in their lives.

Although Alex has inherited a house in Connetticut from his parents, he prefers to live in a studio-appartment in town, as an art critic.

Tea works in a restuarant at first, but later takes the role of photographing solitary, older men.

Alex's and Tea's relationship deepen to the point where they share his appartment, and discuss details of their work, and Whitmore is omnipresent. Alex feels sorry for Tea when he imagines the squalor of the rooms through Tea's photos of these 'harmelss' men, who do not provoke him to jealousy.

Eventually Alex suggests they move into his former house. He manages to sell off most all his mothers porcelain collection and some of his father's items to make room for himself and Tea.

One day Alex escorts Alistair, a Scott painter, to an art gallery. Tea is present and meets Alistair. Her relationship with Alex tends to sour. She asks him to drop Whitmore from their conversations, saying frankly that he is an imaginary figure. Alex suggests they replace him with Alistair, to joke about and have something in common.

The end of this short tale is, in a way, unexpected. Nevertheless, it is an interesting read.

Quirky short story

A short story about a quirky middle-aged man going through a mid-life crisis. Not much depth in the characters so you can't get to know them well enough to really care about them. Whitmore is a

cool, suave macho man image that Alex will never attain and can only wish for. The writing is witty and enjoyable but the story lacks substance.

Where is my Whitmore?

A carefully-written, humorous, and charming story, with a subtle but affecting emotional undercurrent. Bravo! Treat your phone or one of your pads, and thus yourself, to Whitmore.

Good story

The loneliness, fear of losing some one you love, the overall desperation comes out very well. Well written short story

"Tea said she wanted to know she could save a life , or choose not to if she liked."

Alex really likes her answer to the question of why they are taking a CPR class. He isn't really sure why he is here other than adding to his avenues of control.
