About the author
Jean Holloway
15 books196 followersI was born October 10, 19** in good ole Queens, New York. I had a difficult childhood because I developed severe eczema and most of my schoolmates shunned me until high school. Books became my friend.
Early in life, I found myself fascinated by the macabre. I would actually set my alarm if one of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock, Rod Serling or One Step Beyond episodes was coming on late at night. These kept me up til the wee hours of the morning.
Being raised in Amityville was the icing on the cake. I went to see the actual "Amityville Horror" house and swear it literally took my breath away.
My biological mother died when I was 13, the age puberty reared its ugly head. Needless to say, I was a wife and mother by the time I was 17, divorced at 20. Then I met Fred, my second, current and final husband. We have been together 48 years. He helped me become an adult although I went kicking and fighting the whole way. Together, we raised 6 children. We now have 11 grandkids & 4 great-grands!
Reading was my education. I can not list my degrees or college affiliations. I learned from the masters; Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Jean Auel, even Dr. Seuss!

Heart Stopping Romantic Thriller
This is a surprisingly enticing debut novel by Mrs. Jean Holloway. This book takes you on a HIGHLY charged emotional rollercoaster ride! It is a FRIGHTENINGLY suspense-filled, romantic murder mystery with LOADS of heart stopping twist and turns that will keep you turning the pages until the very end. I must thank one of my girlfriends for recommending this book, because had she not I would have missed this thrilling ride. The characters were quite engaging. The storyline was well developed and the attention to detail made me feel like I was watching a very entertaining, yet spine-chilling movie. I found myself completely and thoroughly caught up in the drama of Detective Shevaughn Robinson’s life, professional and personal. The sensual, yet endearing romance between Shevaughn and Tony aided in lightening the mood of an otherwise intense and sometimes disturbing erotic thriller. Tony was a sweet, good looking, compassionate, thoughtful and protective man, who wanted to help his woman in EVERY aspect of her life, professionally and personally. I also enjoyed the budding new partnership/friendship between Shevaughn and Detective Jared Benjamin, he was like the overprotective big brother she never had. Mrs. Holloway DEFINITELY keeps you in suspense throughout this novel, when you think you know what’s going to happen, she’ll shock you with an unexpected twist and/or turn. I hope she’s able to keep me just as captivated with the upcoming sequel!

Ace of Hearts by Jean Holloway was a great read it kept me going from page one. I was shocked at first when I discovered what the predator of the story was doing to his victims. This story was different, and it was hard to believe it was written 25 years ago. It kept me engrossed from page one. I would say this story was exciting, steamy, creative and fun to read. I recommend this book to all who loves a great mystery I can't wait for the sequel.

Obsession
"Ace of Hearts" begins in the early 80's where readers meet the first black woman detective in Portsborough, New York, Shevaughn Robinson. While listening to Tony O'Brien, a reporter, tell her how he would like to interview her, Shevaughn catches her first case. Mulling over the facts of the gruesome details of the first murder, several others, fitting the same MO, seem to be stacking up on her desk and void are any clues or breaks that will allow Shevaughn the big break that is needed. While not making any headway in the case, Shevaughn and Tony appear to be getting a little too close. An enemy of the department, Tony's close ties to one of the victims makes him a suspect. Can Shevaughn learn to keep it all business? With so much going on Shevaughn is unaware of the many admirers she truly has.
A jarring read, "Ace of Hearts" is gripping, dreamy and mystifying. While you find yourself on the ledge trying to escape the murders, you're drawn to the bond of the lovers. Although the story was clumsy and predictable, I did enjoy it and find myself looking forward to the sequel.

Move over King there is a new Queen in town, and her name is Jean Holloway! Ace of Hearts was an all night read. I could not put it down. Shevaughn Robinson is a great character, someone whom you would love to have as a friend. Jean gets into the mind of a killer with frightening reality! I anticipate her next book! I highly reccomend this book to readers who love suspense and thrills! Goodreads, only allows five stars, I would have rated this a perfect 10!

This story does not have a happy ending.
July 3, 2010
I liked the characters. There was nothing overly polished or bland about them; they were ordinary people, believable. I also appreciated the fact that Holloway was able to weave in a bit of social commentary.
I have to say that I was jarred by pacing, which largely explains my three star rating. There were vague descriptions and the action moved fast, albeit with many surprising twists.
This is definitely a plot-driven story, and I read very few such works so I am, undoubetly biased. I tend to favor character-driven stories, and although Holloway's characters are believable, they are not very three-dimensional. I wanted more from them, to really get to the 'heart' which, in turn, would feed not only motivation but also work to add more nuance and poignancy to the surface-level sociological study of said characters. I wanted, I guess, to feel more empathy and understanding because the action was so fast-moving. The book should be longer for all that happens, to slow down so that I can really see each scene. I feel that I got only a glimpse of scenes and a lot of action, like a friend was telling me this story as she was drinking a triple latte and chain-smoking and speed-walking, and this friend had really only heard the story from another friend so she didn't know all the details.

Jean Holloway thrusts you back into the 80’s before criminal profiling and DNA were used solve crimes. At a time when it took hard work and gut instincts to take down your suspect. In this fast paced thriller, you meet Detective Shevaughn Robinson, just recently assigned to the homicide division and with less than twenty four hours on the job she has her first murder.
This one act leads to a series of murders setting in motion a thrilling cat and mouse game between Det. Robinson and the killer. In addition to everything going on at work, Det. Robinson has also found a companion in someone unconventional for the time period. When work touches home and affects the ones she loves Det. Robinson is determined to see this tumultuous case through to the end.
The author does a lot of telling and not enough showing and because of that, the revelation of who the killer actually is becomes quite evident earlier on. Still even with that minor flaw, this is a very fast and entertaining read.
I would recommend this to adult readers, 18 and older, due to graphic sexual content and violence. The reviewer rates it 4 stars.

What a book, I really dont know what to label this book as adult/crime thriller, but was told it is an erotic thriller. Yes, the scenes in the book is a sense of erotica sexisentinel and mesmerizing! Her book definitely captivated my curiousity!
Detective Shevaughn Robinson is investigating a major case of a serial killer, Ace of Hearts, and meets him one on one, where she almost loses her own dear life. She lost the man of her dreams, white newsreporter, Tony O'Brien. He swept her off her feet, thoughts of marriage and shacking up first. Eric Becker was destined to cut out beautiful women's hearts out, calling them a heartless b....and later met his fate: death.
I hate he did not serve time behind bars and see what it felt to be sodomized like he did his victims. Now, I am waiting for the sequel "Black Jack", leaving us with his wife Terri Becker, who lost her mind and leaves us with a cliffhanger for sequel.
Overall, I want to learn more in the sequel about the deranged Eric Becker, reasonings for his killings...and lustful thoughts of his mother Diana! I cannot wait to see what happens between the two detectives: Shevaughn and Jared.

Well, I found this author here on Goodreads. I could not get this book from MELCAT so I went ahead and bought it. I am so glad I did. Once I started reading this book, it was hard for me to put it down when I had to! It was full of murder, suspense, and sex.
Detective Shevaughn Robinson was really a character that I felt like I got to know. She was on the case of the murders and really had a hard time with the gore on the scene of the first murder. Also in the book is Tony O'Brien. He is a reporter for NBS news and he wanted to do a story on Shevaughn since she was a female cop who was a minority. They ended up hanging out quite a bit, but Shevaughn wanted to take it slow with him.
The killer is a really sick person, but he is leading up to something big. I was really surprised by how this book ended, and can't wait to read the next book in this series to see what happens!

Synopsis:
Detective Shevaughn Robinson is investigating a series of gruesome murders unaware that the killer is not only becoming obsessed with death, but also with her!
My take on this story:
Ace of Hearts can be classified as a romantic murder mystery or even an erotic thriller. Jean Holloway’s debut novel took me on an amazingly fast ride. More than once I couldn’t put Ace of Hearts down and read until late at night. This author knows how to keep a reader enticed! She kept me on my toes throughout the whole book.
The story takes place in the early 1980’s in Portsborough, New York. It is almost nostalgic to read about the characters that didn’t carry cellphones, Blackberries, MP3s etc. Mrs. Holloway takes us twenty years back as easily as if it was yesterday.
The characters are well developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns. The protagonist, Shevaughn, and her boyfriend, Tony, are very likable. I instantly felt drawn to both of them. There are plenty of graphic scenes, for which I wouldn’t recommend Ace of Hearts for those faint at heart.
The romance between Shevaughn and Tony develops quickly and becomes sensual and charming. Although I found myself quickly drawn into their bond, I couldn’t enjoy serenity and/or sensuality of it for too long. There was always another nerve-wracking, gut-twisting, disturbing murder scene lurking around every corner.
This book is followed by the sequel, Black Jack, which I expect to be as intense and fast-paced as Ace of Hearts was for me.

Ace of Hearts
I just began Ace of Hearts this evening on kindle. I can tell you that as a writer myself, I am wowed by the eh...shall we say...'testicular fortitude' of Jean Holloway's style. I mean, I have to respect a woman who is brave enough to begin her first novel so boldly. In a past life, I spent ten years as a construction worker who couldn't complete a sentence without multiple vulgarities emerging...and Holloway has made me blush several times in only the first few chapters! It is not vulgar, mind you, but very descriptive AND detailed in the inner monologue of her main character as a strong black woman who is comfortable in her skin, sexually and otherwise. An impressive first novel.

Ace of Hearts is a well written story that explores a range of human emotions and experiences. The characters are complex and true to life. Holloway provides her readers with in depth character development and explores a broad range real life issues. From the struggles of a strong willed woman to excel at a career in a man's world, to the beauty of finding true love and overcoming boundaries, to the psychological analysis of how a man transforms into a serial killer. Jean Holloway takes her readers into the depths of her characters' psyche and back again.
While this is not a genre I typically read, I found Ace of Hearts to be full of complex characters and I enjoyed how the author told the story from varying perspectives. This graphic novel has edginess and a paranormal twist.

Jean is an incredibly talented story teller, who writes from her heart. Not only is she an inspiration to want-to-be authors, she is an incredible woman. I had the honor to interview Jean on my Blog Talk Radio Show, Page Readers. Listen in at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/page-rea...
The only thing I regret about this show is that we didn't talk long enough! As we got into discussing the book, I realized that to discuss any of it, would give it all away! She has written three books that all tie in together remarkably well; these would make great TV MOVIES!!!!

This book was much better than I expected. It is set in 1980 and the only thing that I do not know for sure if it is a true fact is if 911 was in effect. It was the early 80's but not sure if it was that early. but the reference was at the end so it really doesn't matter.
overall a good book and the relationship between Von and Tony moved rather fast, but it worked for the book.

This was a thrilling read! I felt connected to Robinson and I felt her anger, happiness, and sadness right a long with her. She is a strong woman who overcame. Ace of Hearts will take you on a roller coaster ride into the mind of a serial killer, his victims, and Det. Robinson, who is hell bent on catching him before he strikes again.
