['The Book Queen' · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love a good mystery.

[Cherie l brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

A mystery story of danger, intrigue, family secrets, and romance. Throw in a wrong conviction of an innocence man, and the deep efforts that some of the townspeople’s will do to ensure that Darrell Boyd dies behind those bars. So much has gone wrong in Tracey’s life and her job is applying all kind of pressure and Tracy needs to catch a break. Can she find a break by going back to South Caroline -the town that she previously escaped from. Can “ Red” the lawyer help Tracey sort out all of this drama? Red has so many things on the line, and he needs to sort out his life and his past. Could he find solace with Red?

Excellent read

Excellent read, I enjoyed the characters and storyline. Tracey came home to Beaufort S.C. after 5 years, to see her terminally ill father who was wrongfully convicted of murder. Emmett is the lawyer who is handling his case for a compassionate move from prison to a hospital for care. There is a mystery to solve and Emmett is searching for the truth to clear his client, while being attracted to his daughter Tracey.

it was okay. It had mystery to it, but it just wasn't exciting and steamy enough for me. It didn't leave me on the edge of my seat.

Intriguing

This was a great read. The storyline and the character development is remarkable. I am definitely looking forward to book 2.

[T.A. Beasley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an great romantic suspense book about Tracy and Emmett running from their past, but coming together to help Tracy's father, who is fighting an illness while being in prison. There is danger lurking and some people don't want Tracy's father to get the help he needs nor Emmett to work on his case. I loved the suspense in this book and these characters fight for some justice.

I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I love Tyora Moody's writing. She will continue to be an auto buy author for me.
