#review Devious
Devious by Mark LoveMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Devious was a breath of fresh air. I've been too immersed in normal romances and Devious provided a welcome change.
An engrossing romantic suspense, I couldn't put it down. The interaction between the characters was fresh and intense. Their exchanges were amusing and made Devious seem too short. Well paced action interspersed with romance and the mundane kept me reading.
Jamie cracked me up. Nothing, nothing would stop her until she had her answers. She reminded me of a terrier. Just don't get in her way, and the consequences be damned.
Malone, just Malone, was a perfect foil for Jamie. Solid and always there for her, he seemed to instinctively know what to do to keep Jamie on the hook. A quiet man with a deep sense of humor, I loved his character. That he's on cop on top of that? Oh yeah!
Devious will wrap itself around your mind. The intensity and bursts of humor make for a fantastic romantic and suspenseful book. The ongoing joke (read it and you'll know!) through out made me hope there would be more of Jamie and Malone to come. THEN I find out there is! So, I'm hooked and will read on!

#Review ~ Gwyneth
Gwyneth by J.M. ZunigaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
An intense suspense with romantic elements, Gwyneth keeps you wrapped up and involved in trying to figure out who the bad guy is. From beginning to end I became involved in Gwyneth's world. Not like her stalker though, or is it two?
I found Gwyneth an insecure young woman and felt for her. Her life is definitely not what you'd call a fairy tale. A first person POV, it made you feel as if you were there. I have to admit, I enjoy first person POV because I feel more involved in the story. It made Gwyneth come alive for me.
The story line captured my imagination and kept me going until I was done. A well written enjoyable suspence, Gwyneth is worth the time to read.
