Predictable ok suspense, but the victims were women again... Can they please write different plot?
The wedding storyline was funny, but he as a father was definitely unfair to his daughter and the heroine needed more respect and patience toward her future step-daughter too.
Wendy... I don't like her character. She may be still a child, but she was involved in the murders of her 'friends' (book 1). She deserves to be punished for the crime she committed! I wonder if she is heroine's real daughter...

I love this series although sometimes Miranda gets on my nerves. She pushed too hard and she tries to be the hero most of the time. Then again, she is learning (with Parker's help). Miranda better hold on to him. He treats her like a queen! He's definitely a keeper.

This is the 3rd in the series about Miranda Steele who works for wealthy, Wade Parker who owns

So for years, Miranda has been searching for her.
When she landed in GA, she was recruited by Wade Parker when she was serving time in jail. She had been arrested in the murder of one of the girls of that town that had been missing.. As you can see, Miranda has a way to always get into trouble.
In this one, her and Parker are flying to Chicago on a tip that her daughter might be there and they are trying to get the court records. While in Chicago, she meets an old friend, Coco. While being invited back to Coco's home, Parker and Miranda smell something and being investigators, they know it is the smell of death. They find a body behind a newly built wall.

Here Comes the Bloodied Bride! 4.35***** Spoiler Alert!
Miranda and Parker visited her hometown of Chicago in the never-ending quest of locating abducted daughter, Amy, taken by her scumbag, comatose ex, Leon, when they ran into Coco, the sultry singer and Estavez's love interest /Cora Beth. This led to them discovering Zelda's body in the wall of Cora's shared apartment, and the subsequent murders of three other women by her ex/ Dexter H. Miranda was the only one gathering evidence and clues, while arranging her impromptu wedding/marriage to Wade and studying for her PI license. Of course everything came to fruition on her wedding day just as Wade thought he was jilted at the altar, the call from Gen had him, Estavez, and Inspector Erkskin racing to his mansion to save Miranda and her bridal party from sociopathic, Dexter. Yes, she finally married Wade in her torn and tattered wedding ensemble as she limped down the aisle to become Mrs. Miranda Steele-Parker!
Great plot with noted character growth, Coco's belief in her ex, even though shattered by Miranda, still had her opening her heart to Estavez , willing to move ahead with a relationship. Unlike skittish Miranda who needed another near-death event to motivate her to commit to Wade III wholeheartedly. I kept hoping someone would disconnect Leon to give her piece of mind, while she searched for Amy, and as Parker located her Dad. Parker is slowly coming to terms with Miranda's PI sixth sense, 3-0 for the SKs (Leon, Delta, Dexter). A Must-Read! Enjoying this series; this novel was gravity defying, but I predicted the Unsub very early on in the novel!

Linsey Lanier is an exquisite storyteller! The wedding from hell "is to die for"!
I love Miranda, Parker, the ITT gang along with Coco, Wendy, Estevez and the whole cast of delightful characters! While I thought the book was slow for much of the novel, in fairness, a lot of procedural information about investigation and crime details setting up the epic climax (double entendre) were fascinating and needed to set up the story!
The story accelerated as the ultimate showdown loomed large! The danger escalates, as graduation and the big wedding finally arrive! Of course the tears and hormones assault the reader (who doesn't cry at weddings)? Not an easy love story and the happily everafter hangs (by the neck)! The finale is inspired, and the wedding is loaded with agonizing twist and turns! Brilliant writing!
Pease note, I had the flu for three days and "Titanic" might have seemed slow! I highly recommend Forever Mine and Linsey Lanier is fabulous!

Every girl's dream, having a handsome, caring, smart man adore you (and it doesn't hurt that he's wealthy). No one deserves it more than Miranda, who has fought her whole life to feel like she could be worth something, after the abuse from her family and ex-husband. Shes always willing to be the first to reach out to someone hurting and usually pays a painful price for it. I was so hoping we'd see her walk the aisle as the most beautiful bride ever but you'll have to read this story to see how Parker receives his bride!

A fast paced and gripping read
I loved this book. I like books that keep me on the edge of my seat with all the twists and turns. Miranda and Wade solving yet another case and getting married at the the end topped it off. Looking forward to the next book. Thank you Linsey Lanier for another great read.

Forever Mine
Forever Mine is a rollercoaster ride from the first page. What makes a person go so absolutely crazy. Miranda has a feeling she knows but it seems to be so illusive. This is a very good book. It really keeps you guessing. I can’t wait for the next Miranda and Parker adventure. Thanks Lindsey Lanier.

Good read
Nice, quick story. Kept my attention, and I read the first 3 in the series in a week. Sometimes, things are “push3d” to make the story fit together. Hence, 4 stars instead of 5.

A nice storyline. Does make you want to keep reading (which I have difficulty finding ). Not too sophisticated. Good balance with the sex. They dont go for it every two pages. For now I think I'll move on to the next book.

I'm a complete sap...yeah there is plenty of twisted murder and mystery...but in this book it was all about friendships, family, romance, love, and all the risks that come with relationships. I won't ruin anything...but it was picture perfect.
