Broken Lullaby
Growing up in a mob family had scarred Mary Graham. She'd thought running away would ensure her son didn't face the same horrors. But after three years on the lam, the single mom couldn't live that way anymore. So she'd come back home to Broken Bones, Arizona--and found herself at the center of a baby brokering scandal. To prove her innocence and help a grieving mother, Mary had to turn to her family's nemesis--a cop. And not just any cop...a cop named Mitch Williams. He'd been after her family for years, so could she trust him to have her best interests at heart?

As far as I know, this is the first book I've read by this author, and unlike other reviewers, I don't remember seeing any of the characters in other books either.
I liked that Mary tried to keep her son safe. I liked that she told him what was going on rather than keeping it from him (as so many characters in these books seem to do).
I felt bad for Angelina and Alma--first that both became mothers so young and also because both their babies were taken from them.
I never quite got hold of what illegal businesses Mary's family was involved in--money laundering, perhaps. Odd that Mary's inheritance had stipulations where everyone else's did not. Perhaps telling too since as she says, if Eric's had had one, he'd have walked away from it just like he walked away from the family business.
I wondered if Mary found the rest of the antiques that had been taken from her family's cabin. She found the armoire and the table, but there was at least one more mentioned in the book. Also, although she decided to run an antiques business at the site of the former car lot, she didn't seem to have a business plan--she claims to have knowledge, but she never mentioned how she planned to find inventory to sell. She'd have to find it at less than what she could sell it for for her business to work--and I never heard how she intended to do that.

This story is a combination mystery and love story with religion inter weaved into the story. Mary was married to man in the mob family. Her husband was murdered and she ran because she feared her son would be taken away from her. When she finally returns to the area she befriends a girl, Alma who tells of crossing the border and her son stolen from her. With the cop next door, Mitch, the excitement begins. A decent read!

Broken Bones
Book 3
Thought the first one int he series was my favorite, this one was my next favorite. When I met tough cop, Mitch Williams, in the first book I knew I wanted to hear his story. I was not disappointed!
I was happy to see another Santellis family member get their own story. Of the five siblings, only two turned out decently. Justin, Mary's son, is pretty troubled and has a story of his own to tell...
The suspense kept me guessing. I was hoping one of the people that later appeared in the story would appear. The author did not disappoint me! Though the romance was a bit tougher for me to accept, I was happy these two found happiness...

What a great book!
Maybe because it takes place in Arizona with many issues I'm use to hearing about on the news.
It was well written and worth reading.
Read a 2nd time July 20, 2010 after reading the The Price of Redemption.
