New York Dead (Stone Barrington Novels)

Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he's too smart to be a cop, but it's pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out. Suddenly he's o... read more...

Oh man I just got hooked on the Stone Barrington novels when I read 'Worst Fears Realized' and heard this one was even better (I know I am reading them out of order) and it is better! I love it.
These Stone Barrington novels are fun and easy to read. Sex, crime, detectives... what else could I ask for? Perfect way to pass the time on the train on the way to work.
'New York Dead' has the same fun writing style and same Barrington style detective work, only this book is better written and far more exciting than 'Worst Fears Realized.'
I will return to Stone Barrington novels in the future. They are fun and entertaining as heck!

It Should Be a Crime

An awesome twisted tale of crime and romance! In a nutshell these two women meet and have a night of passion, only to find out that one of them is a law student in the other one's class!
Risque and over the top, perfect for this genre. This book is easy to read, very fun and entertaining, and is also well written.... not just garbage.
It should be a crime to have this much fun reading a book!

Nothing but the Truth

The truth, like love, can be elusive, unless you’re willing to fight for it.Sparks fly when two top notch attorneys battle each other in the high risk arena of the courtroom, but when a strange turn of events thrusts one of them from the role of a... read more...

Carsen Taite writes some very exciting romance crime novels. She herself is a practicing criminal defense attorney, so she really knows what she's talking about in the courtroom. I have actually learned a thing or two about law from reading her books!
She is very knowledgable and can write one hell of a romance novel. Really fun stuff..... not to mention a wicked twist.... have fun!

Someone Knows (Zebra Romantic Suspense)

As cheesy romantic crime novels go I think you will find this to be a good one. It' not the most magnificent of books but the author tells her story effectively and very well. The story is of two people who despise each other working together and growing closer over time. One of the two has a secret past that is threatening to come to light. Sometimes the story feels like there is a lot of information all shoved into a small space but other times it flows. Overall it was good and I wanted to finish it. Not too bad.

After Hudson Savage betrayed her, Dana Cardwell hoped never to lay eyes on the seductive cowboy again. Until a bunch of old bones showed up on her family ranch. Suddenly her former lover was back in her life in a big way—to investigate a decades-o... read more...

I have to admit this was a surprisingly fun book to read (for free on my kindle!). I thought it was going to be REALLY dumb because of the silly cover but it's actually quite enjoyable and well written... although at times it was quite predictable.
Just a fun, casual read. Nothing serious here!
