Another Winner!

As all of Meryl's books, this one has a unique setting and a great twist. I don't want to give it away, but I know you'll like it. The romance is strong. It shows the strength of first love and the tragedy that can alter a life forever. Then your world can be put back together. I liked the antiterrorist stuff. Very interesting after the events of 9-11. Sadie, the dog was wonderful. Meryl always has a great animal in her book. A character, not just window dressing. This book is truly a keeper.

Another page turner!

I have loved Ms. Sawyer's stories of romantic suspense for years, and she didn't disappoint me for one second in this book. She always does something different from other writers, and I'm always fascinated by her excellent plots and settings. I think this book has more romance than her previous ones, which I loved. At times she reminds me of a female Sidney Sheldon. Once you start this book, you just can't put it down. She is a great storyteller!

Good romantic suspense

After fifteen years Kyle Parker and Jennifer Whitmore never expected to ever see eachother again, but fate has brought them together. Jennifer tried for fifteen years to get over her first love, and she has finally succeeded. Engaged to be married, Jennifer has gotten on with her life and has enrolled in the militarys anti-terrorism raining. The last person she expects to see if Kyle, the instructor.Kyle can't believe his eyes. For fifteen years he had been trying to forget Jennifer, but unable to do so. When he first sees her he is shocked. Why did she never contact him all these years?Eventually Jennifer and Kyle are forced to admit their true feelings, but there is a killer among them and Jennifer is falsly accused to murder. Is their love strong enough? This was a pretty good book, but a weak storyline. There are parts of the book I just plain didn't understand why it was in the book. Why the scene in the beginning where Jennifer is "undercover" mudwresting? Overall, good book. I enjoyed being reunited with Matt and Amy from Half Moon Bay and especially Logan and Kelly from Tempting Fate.

Thunder Island

Wow! What a great book. Two thumbs WAY up! :-

great romantic suspense

Though he hates the unpredictability and possible deaths, Kyle Parker enjoys being a civilian instructor teaching antiterrorist training to Navy SEALs. However, his current assignment leaves him a bit shocked as his superior Michael Dowd informs him the Navy has agreed to train civilian police departments on the latest anti-terrorism techniques. The first group to attend comes from the Miami-Dade police department and includes a woman, Jennifer Whitmore. She turns out to be Kyle's Jenny who he has not seen in over fifteen years. Now she is engaged to marry Chad Roberts.As he provides instruction to her and her five classmates, their original attraction heats up even hotter than the Key West sun. However, neither expected to become partners in a murder investigation. Someone killed Chad at the Thunder Island resort where they are all staying, and the local police believe Jenny is that someone. As Jenny and Kyle investigate the murder, they fall in love, but will he allow her to walk like he did the first time they were together?THUNDER ISLAND is a humorous romantic suspense that includes elements from a police procedural. The story line is fast-paced and filled with action that will please fans of both sub-genres. The lead couple is an attractive duo, but this plot is abducted by the support cast. This enchanting, eccentric array of individuals (and one set of twins) captures the audience. Meryl Sawyer provides her fans with a whimsical romantic police procedural that deserves a wide audience because it is an entertaining novel.Harriet Klausner
