Customer Reviews

Coburn writes with the best of them!

"The Tethered Heart," is a wonderfull romantic thriller! Keep the eye drops handy and the coffee brewing 'cause you're liable to be up, reading into the late hours of the night!

Electrifying, racy and full of intrigue!

What an exciting read! Michael Coburn hardly gives you time to catch your breath in this thriller. Not only do I look forward to the sequel, I look forward to seeing this played out on the silver screen!

I love this book.

This is a great read. Characters are developed in such a way that you know that they will be intertwined for a thrilling story. Can't wait for the next book!

Coburn's Cold Blooded Beauty

Fantastic read. A real thumb burner (aka, a page turner!). Received as a gift. Got two hours of sleep the first night. Isabella is perfectly developed. End leaves you wanting more. I gather this is the first in a trilogy. Stoked for more...well suited for the sci-fi/thriller/action type reader who enjoys Conroy/Grisham/Vonnegut with spice.
