Just SIX stars from the beginning till the end

When you read a book and you are on the book, in the book and upon the book and you can't leave the book; that book deserves SIX stars. This book has three stories that merge at the end; but when you start a new chapter you want to read it fast to get to the story you were reading about before. When you finish the chapter you'll want to do the same to start reading about the story you were reading. You'll end the book in a day or two because you won't be able to wait all night long to read the next chapter.

A thrill and a pleasure!

Former FBI agent and computer whiz, Raine Roby, spends most of her time hidden behind her monitor in her 2 bedroom apartment. She and friends/former agents Aimee and Daphne have started a corporate security firm, Partners in Crime. But their lack of clients isn't paying the bills or instilling the thrills they were used to. When Raine's former boss and ex-boyfriend, Calder Preston, calls with an unofficial FBI case that's little more than a contact and a hunch, both Calder and Raine know the job is bogus. Or is it?Fifteen year old, Megan Mulroney's biggest fears involved the boys in her grade never catching up with her growth spurt and falling asleep in class because she couldn't find time to squeeze some zzz's into her busy schedule. That is, until she finds herself kidnapped and trapped in the trunk of her mom's SUV aboard a cargo container headed for Venezuela. In order to get out alive, she'll need more than what she's learned watching spy movies - she'll need her wits, courage, and the help of two real heroes."Dangerous Curves" is two stories in one and both are outstanding. The romance between Raine and Calder is as intense and action-packed as their escape from the South American jungles. And Megan's survivor story makes you want to cry tears and pump your hand in the air with joy. Each twist and turn in this Jacey Ford book was believable, entertaining, and exciting. Here's hoping for a sequel!Emily Flippin Maruna

Great new direction for Bevarly Brandt

This is a new series and pseudonym for Bevarly Brandt. A computer genius and former FBI agent is hired by the man who didn't stand by her when she was drummed out of the Bureau on trumped up murder charges. She now works for a private security firm and Calder Preston asks for her help in a case. She has to investigate a woman named Hope Enslar, head of R & D for a large car manufacturer. The job is really just a reason for Calder to recontact Raine. He is looking for a way back into her life and is as surprised as Raine when the case connects to a very real and dangerous one. Calder has to make the decision whether to stick by Raine at the expense of his career this time or turn away like he has done before.This was a very fast moving suspense novel with a lot of twists and turns and emotional drama. I particularly liked the references to the movie, To Catch a Thief. Raine is the daughter of a socialite and a former jewel thief named John Robey. A very good read and I expect to enjoy the next one just as much.

entertaining police procedural romance

FBI Agent Calder Preston asks his ex girlfriend and former agent Raine Robey for unofficial help. Though she would like to say no because he let her down when she was in official trouble, Raine knows her fledgling business Partners in Crime needs the customer. Raine agrees to look into the trouble that Hope Ensher faces or least her disabled father believes she confronts in their Jackson Motors business. Calder has an ulterior motive of wanting the woman he loves back in his life as he tries to overcome failing her when she needed him most.Meanwhile a carjacker steals a vehicle in which model teen Megan Mulroney sleeps in the back seat. While the police conduct a manhunt for her, someone sets up Raine as pedophile killer. These two cases and that of Hope will converge in a dangerous jungle scenario.DANGEROUS CURVES is an entertaining police procedural romance starring two wonderful protagonists of which one does not trust the other, who knows he must find a way to earn what he lost by choosing career over love. Though the various subplots eventually merge at times it becomes confusing especially the attempt to discredit Raine. The lead couple is a tremendous twosome, but the audience will really enjoy marvelous Megan, who needs her story told ten years from now in a futuristic Ford fabulous suspense thriller.Harriet Klausner
