Indiscretions is the first book in the Carpenter & Harding series. Soon book #8 will be out.
Rookie cop Ellie Harding wants to be a detective as soon as possible. Back at work after recovering from an attack by a stranger, maybe she will get the chance to work with the detectives on a case of a sadistic killer, who’s murdered more than one women.
Detective Jordan Carpenter is struggling with more than this unsolved case. And there is this ever growing attraction for Ellie even though she’s still in an unhappy long-term relationship. Will she be able to catch the killer and find a solution for her private life.
The murder case was gripping and chilling and kept me on my toes, even though, as a minor flaw, I suspected who’s the murder before the detectives did. But it didn’t lessen the suspense.
In the beginning, the romance a little bit fast, but slowed down when there was so much going on in the precinct. The MCs had great chemistry and I was rooting for them to come together. The characters are real women and well developed with flaws like everybody.
It’s written alternatively from the POVs of Ellie and Jordan with a few short insertions from the murder. Sometimes this head-hopping was a little confusing.
My rating 4 stars

It’s a bit unfortunate that I read the first part of the Carpenter & Harding Series - with the title Indiscretions - while I still have Cari Hunter’s Desolation Point fresh in my mind. Maybe I should have left a bit more time between the two books because now I can’t help but to compare the two.
What Barbara Winkes didn’t give me was a solid connection with both leads. Ellie Harding and Jordan Carpenter weren’t fleshed out enough for me to get emotionally invested in. A lot of things happen to these two characters and they go through intense and extensive traumatic events, but Winkes never gives us any details (either with the intimate scenes or the traumatic ones). We are left to fill in the blanks and in this case that did not really work for me.
It was certainly not a bad plot, but it lacked cleverness and intensity and it was too easy to point out the bad guy.
So, in conclusion it’s not a bad effort on the part of Winkes. I hope that if I continue with the series (I’m not sure at this point) I will get a better feel for Ellie and Jordan. For now they are a lackluster couple. When I read a thriller I am looking for just that… to be thrilled. Sadly for me that didn’t happen. I hope you have a better experience.

I've had my eyes on this book series for a while. The premise is interesting, with a murder mystery that our protagonists, Detective Jordan Carpernter and police officer Ellie Harding, are investigating. Ellie just came back to work after being assaulted by an unknown attacker. But if she wants to make detective, she has to make a good impression with the brass. Jordan is described as a star detective, but she has a complicated personal life. She's stuck in an unhappy relationship with a profiler. I like the police procedural part, though I kinda figured who the murderer is pretty quickly. The Ellie/Jordan relationship is more complicated. I've never been comfortable with a character starting a relationship while still in a relationship. So, it was not easy for me to cheer on the pairing. Maybe the next books will change my mind. Overall, though, a decent enough book one in a series.

Solid story and characters- though I had a hard time sympathising with Jordan's "indiscretions".
Unfortunately, I often found myself a little lost in huge paragraphs that would switch between places without preamble. I also found myself doing a double take to try and establish if it was a memory/thoughts or present events that I was currently reading.
There were a few nice twists, but I was ready to be done with Jordan and Ellie for a while at the conclusion which is a shame.

This is definitely an pageturner.
I truly enjoyed it. I like this kind of genre more and more and especially if they are as exciting as this. The end came much too soon. I would like to know what the future brings for the 2 main characters. Let us hope that the sequel will be released soon.

Love love this.
A good mystery saves life. I have read Barbara Winkes' work before, "The Amnesia Project" was a stunning masterpiece. The layout is really good, throttle small twists and turns make the book more intriguing.
Relationship-wise, there needs some more smooth touch. I am excited for this Carpenter/Harding journey. The detective work also needs a clearer picture.
Boy, I thought Bethany was working with Mr, crazy, because some women can be a danger to others. ^__^ ㅜㅜ

The story follows young police officer, Ellie Harding, and the slightly older detective with whom she has obvious chemistry, Jordan Carpenter, during a thorny and complicated investigation.
Having survived an encounter with a masked attacker, Officer Harding makes it onto the team tasked with capturing the perpetrator of a series of kidnaps and murders.
Jordan Carpenter's girlfriend is a psychologist, attached to the FBI, who has blinded herself to the problems in her personal life, including her girlfriend's infidelity and obvious desire to leave.
With the attraction building between Harding and Carpenter, it’s only a matter of time before they succumb to their feelings. But as the investigation continues, it becomes clear that the man behind the crimes is a woman-hater who targets unfaithful women - those with multiple partners or female partners appear to be his personal favourites. The question is: how much danger are Harding and Carpenter in? And can they save his latest victim before it’s too late?
A solid read, well-written. I’m no overly-familiar with the way the US police service works so it took me a while to get to grips with who all the characters were to each other. That said, there were plenty of twists and turns and towards the end (no spoilers), my heart dropped down to my stomach. I’ll look forward to reading more from this series.

This is a crime thriller first and foremost and it excells at that. The romance aspect is on a side burner. And since this is a story about crime, hate, violence and people full of problems the protagonists are deeply flawed themselves. There is cheating, knowingly on all three sides, while everyone is battling their emotions - you know, like real human beings. There are bad decisions, there are right decisions in bad circumstances and an ending. The series has 18 parts now, I think. I'll probably try (and need!) at least book 2 and 3 before I can honestly decide how I feel about the characters. If you can stomach contemporary, realistic violence and want a serialised monster-of-the-week thriller with a sapphic base, this is probably a go to series.
Read
June 19, 2020This book starts out well. Ellie Harding, a rookie detective, is overjoyed when she gets to work under Homicide Detective Jordan Carpenter. Not just because Jordan can teach her a lot about detective work, but because Ellie is interested in taking her to bed—despite the fact that Jordan has a significant other. The case involves a criminal who abducts women, takes them to various abandoned cellars, tortures them, and kills them.
Ellie quickly succeeds in bedding Jordan and finds that Jordan’s relationship with her partner, an FBI profiler, is on the rocks. What can she do when that very profiler is assigned to the case they are working on? So there’s a bit of tension there. Will Ellie succeed in breaking Jordan away from Bethany, or will Bethany get her way as she always does? So as a romance, it’s pretty typical stuff and the characters are interesting enough.
Other things in the book are not so well done. For one thing, the author often breaks in on the story with a scene from the mind of the killer. People, this is never a good idea. Look, for one thing, unless you’re a homicidal woman-hating maniac, you can’t possibly know what might be going through his mind and most of the stuff that authors come up with is just cardboard silly. Might as well call them Snidely Whiplash and have them tying women up on the railroad tracks. For another—and I can’t say this too many times—what woman would want to be in the mind of a sadistic bastard that kills and tortures women? Every one of the scenes from the killer’s point of view needs to be excised.
I knew who the murderer was the first instant that he was introduced, which was about a third of the way through. I also knew that somehow, he was going to lure one of the protagonists into a dark cellar, only to be saved at the last minute by the other. And of course I was correct. He even managed—as crazed, women-hating psychopaths always do—to overcome the protector, even though she held a gun and he didn’t. This is a weird kind of empowerment.
Truthfully, if this were the first book to use this tired theme, it would probably be refreshing, but this scene—in one familiar form after another—occurs often enough to make me cringe. It also says that the author has not really done her homework on what has been done and what hasn’t. Does a lesbian mystery author have to be an expert on the genre in which she works? Probably not, but she is cruising for criticism if she doesn’t make more of an effort.
After I had predicted essentially what was going to happen in the last half of the novel, I decided to close the book on Barbara Winkes and go on to someone else.
Final Rating: Did not finish
Note: I read an ebook version of this novel that was offered free on Amazon.

Stayed up all night reading
I really enjoyed this book. A few things kept me from giving it 5 stars. When I first started reading it took me a while to remember the characters. She referred to people by their first or last name equally in the same section. And the editing of my kindle version was poor. Some sentences didn't make sense and some had the words mixed up. Plus I figured out who the killer was before the characters in the book. I must read too many "Who done it" books.

I had a hard time getting into this book. It was sometimes hard to follow along with and I had the plot figured out about 30% in. The ending also just ends. I plan on reading book two because I do like Jordan and Ellie. I hope book two is easy to follow along with.

Indiscretions (Carpenter & Harding, #1)
by Barbara Winkes
I made it through 54% of this book since January 16th. I absolutely disliked Jordan Carpenter and Elie Harding. I am not a fan of cheating when in a monogamous relationship. Poly is one thing cheating is altogether different. It was tossed in my face and blatant. I found myself getting lost and the mystery disappeared at times during the trauma and drama of the relationship. I am sure some readers can get past this yet most readers would struggle with a partner blatantly cheating on them.
I have loved everything I have ever read by Barbara Winkes outside of this. I was disappointed as I wanted to like this.
Give it a try you may enjoy this. I did not and I did DNF this book.

Exciting, edge of my seat reading regarding the story surrounding the serial killer. I didn't enjoy the story of Carpenter and Harding. I couldn't grasp their story. From the beginning at the club when Harding's wanting to be a detective working with the 'rock stars' of the department and Carpenter watching Harding across the room. It's intimated that Carpenter's current relationship is troubled. And the book doesn't grab me from that point. It's well written, there's not a lot of time wasted on the length of the investigation. The author did an effective job writing a character I could hate - Carpenter's girlfriend.

Ellie is a police officer who wants to be a detective. She meets Jordan and they team up to catch a serial killer. Ellie is mugged by a man and is desperate to catch him. Meanwhile there are other abductions and killings so Ellie is teamed up with Jordans team of detectives to find the killer. Jordan is in a relationship with Bethany, an FBI profiler. The plot is good and deals with a serial killer and also a budding romance between Jordan and Ellie. The book has very explicit scenes and can be graphic. I found the book interesting but also disturbing about the relationships of Jordan, Ellie and Bethany.
I recommend this book for mystery readers and romance readers.

Insta love doesn't work for me and it felt just like that. I can understand how Jordan is completely stuck in her relationship with Bethany and how the first encounter with Ellie happens but I can't get how Jordan is suddenly in love with a woman she barely knows when they had shared a couple of sex encounters and nothing else. The fact that I liked Bethany (ice queen?) more than the main couple is proof enough something was missing for me.
The "thriller" part is not bad, I'm not upset for discovering who the killer is rather quickly but the relationship didn't catch my attention and that makes me wonder if reading the second part is a good idea.

This was a riveting mystery that kept me reading to its conclusion. Although I believed I knew "who done it" about halfway through, there was still a lot of action left. The knowing really didn't detract from the tension and actually ramped tension up for me.
Necessarily, the mystery taking precedence meant that the characters of Carpenter and Harding couldn't be fully explored. But both are revealed to be complex women with histories of emotional turmoil (ok, that's mostly Carpenter, but somewhat Harding). Since this is a series, I look forward to more details being revealed in the next books.

Ellie Harding, police officer, had been flirting with Det Jordan Carpenter. That all ended when Ellie was attacked on the way home from the bar.
Jordan has been working a case involving women being kidnapped, held a unknown length of time, then killed and dumped. And Ellie is determined to go back to work and help.
Making things more complicated, Jordan is in a committed relationship to a FBI profiler, Beth. Whom she cheats on with Ellie.
I will confess, did not like the cheating. I'd be ok if they had been separated or something, but no. Other than that, pretty decent mystery.
3 out of 5 stars

Page turner
This was a page turner that starts nearly from the first page. It's well written and easy to read. The main characters certainly have chemistry, although the circumstances of their getting together initially are a bit untoward. Then due to a variety of struggles they are on again, off again. I enjoyed how their relationship fluctuated with the investigative plot, and how the emotions and actions dredged up from that affected it. The book ends on a hopeful note and is a great lead in to the next in the series.

I really wanted to like this series, but... the characters never came alive to me. It was like the main characters only cared about their work, sex, and themselves. As a reader I felt too often that the characters were messed up in ways the author never led me to understand. So much was hidden, either intentionally or unintentionally, so I could not get past some of the behaviors I found offputting.
Having finished the prequel and the first book, I think this series has to go on the “not for me” list.

The murder mystery is intense, and the characters are complex, so this should have been a fantastic book. Unfortunately, the writing got in the way of the story. It was difficult to tell who was talking at times, as Winkes referred to the characters by different names and sometimes no names at all. The point of view was 3rd person Omniscient, but it changed often and without enough reference, so sometimes it was hard to tell whose mind you were in.
I will try another book by Winkes, and hope for better.

Barbara kindly provided me with an ebook review copy of Indiscretions in exchange for an honest review. This was my first Winkes novel and I throughly enjoyed it!
The suspense of the building case, and relationship between Ellie Harding and Jordan Carpenter keep the story interesting and the plot moving at a good pace. Very gripping and a great thriller crime novel. I can’t wait to read more from this series.

More like 2.5 stars. Meh…The main characters needed to be fleshed out more, what’s their history, what are they feeling, give me something as to why they would be together. The story was ok but lacked a lot of detail and depth for me, situations would pop up but then magically be resolved in the next paragraph..like what happened, how did you solve that?! I may continue the series, not 100% sure yet.

this book is right up my alley. it’s dark, it’s gritty, and it’s sapphic. however what was not up my alley was the cheating that the two main characters do.
i understand it’s a key part of the storyline but could we not have had jordan cheat with someone else and then after everything else she gets with ellie. because for me personally the cheating ruins their relationship.
i will be reading the next book in the series and hopefully it makes me forget all about the cheating storyline.

Good until the end
The main characters were good n well written but in order to move the plot at the end the author turned one into an idiot making bad decisions n not following procedure. Which would be fine if that was the character's personality. But this is the star detective with experience n know how. Find a better way to move the plot than lobotomizing your main character.

Well written and a good amount of suspense. Likeable characters but not much development in the side characters. I hope I will see more in depth development in the MC´s in the books to come.
The only "negative" thing is that the story jumps right in with both feet and I needed some pages to get my bearings.
I´m looking forward to read the rest of the series.

Your Cheating Heart
Detective Jordan Carpenter is on the hunt for a serial killer. Officer Ellie Harding is ambitious and hopes to take the Detective’s exam next year so she volunteers for work with the task force. This is a tense police procedural and thriller. Carpenter and Harding appear to be great characters for a series. Very well written.

developing a crush on a senior detective is not the best career move for a young rookie, but she might just be learning some life saving skills for both of them
twisted relationship complications and literally medieval perspectives on relationships and punishment make some dangerous bedfellows
