Guarding His Midnight Witness

October 2020 

She knows what she saw… 

Can he believe her? 

Detective Jack McTavish can’t afford another slipup. So when artist Greta Renault claims to have witnessed a murder without a shred of evidence, he’s tempted to walk. Jack’s gut propels him to pursue this case—and his attraction to Greta. Soon, not only is his job on the line, but Greta’s life is, too…and only Jack can keep her safe. 

Between The Pages 

I was patiently waiting for Jack’s story, and I was not disappointed. He is the star in this book from beginning to finish. His bond toward Greta is captivating. Their chemistry is captivating. The many twists and turns had me compelled to keep reading. The extended cast from previous books were an added welcome. The comradery between the characters in the Honor Bound series is perfect. You witness their friendship and the strength they provide to newcomers. I could not put this book down. A great suspense/mystery read!

Between The Pages Book Review - Gone In The Night

Gone In The Night 

Anna J. Stewart 

October 2017 

A childhood terror rears its ugly head... 

Psychologist Allie Hollister is still haunted by the unsolved death of her childhood best friend. She never expects her past to meet her present when a young patient is abducted and the cold case is reopened. Allie knows she shouldn't get involved, but the child's uncle, firefighter Max Kellan, needs her as much as she needs him. 

Once, Max simply wanted to put his past to rest; now he demands nothing short of justice. As he and secretive, sexy Allie track a lethal criminal, their chemistry is an undeniable adrenaline rush. Their attraction will be put to the test when they confront their most dangerous threat yet: the truth. 

Between The Pages 

Gripping edge of your seat suspense! Twists and turns you won’t see coming. The author introduces another drop-dead handsome hero. Max definitely receives my swoon-worthy award. Allie and Max are captivating together. This story pulls the continuing mystery from books one and two and takes you to the top of the cliff. The author then leaves you hanging on the edge, waiting for the cast to unravel the case of Max’s missing niece as well as the horror of Allie’s past. The complete cast is beyond enjoyable. Their friendship and trust are unwavering. Such a great story that seamlessly answers all the questions with a tight ending. Another hit from Anna J. Stewart. The books in the Honor Bound Trilogy are perfect stand-alone titles, but I recommend entering this friendship from the beginning.

Between The Pages Book Review - Reunited With The P.I.

Reunited With The P.I. 

Anna J. Stewart 

May 2017 

In this Honor Bound romance, a perilous change of heart looms for two former lovers... 

Exactly why should P.I. Vince Sutton take his ex-wife's case? Because she, assistant district attorney Simone Armstrong, put his brother in jail? Because the ambitious spitfire still drives him crazy? No, he'll take it because "The Avenging Angel" makes him a deal he can't refuse. Sparks fly when Vince works all-too-closely with Simone to locate her missing key witness...but in the process, they are drawn into a cold case. As much as he tries, Vince can't deny that he's never gotten over beautiful Simone, but can he admit his feelings to her--and himself? And can he save her from the danger that's heading their way? 

Between The Pages 

I was hooked on the Honor Bound series after reading book one, and book two did not disappoint. There is so much to like in this story. The cast is exceptional, and Vince is a welcomed addition. His character is captivating. He grabs your attention immediately. He’s also perfect for Simone. As ex’s, they already have chemistry, but they steam the pages as they reconnect. The author is a master at story telling. The plot is suspenseful as it weaves through a current mystery while leaving breadcrumbs on a previous cold case. A page-turning read I highly recommend.

Between The Pages 

This book pulled me in on the first page with an icy hand! The visual story is so well told, I felt the chill. Lots of suspense kept the pages turning at a fast pace. A great cast of characters are introduced, and I studied each one to look for signs of them being the serial killer. The author did a great job of keeping me guessing. The twists and turns had me engrossed in the story, especially the clues leading to a murder from the past. Cole is unwavering in his friendship and feelings for Eden. These two were meant to be together. Book one in the Honor Bound trilogy has me hooked. I can’t wait to read the next one!
