Book

Chasing The Night (2010)

The mystery and suspense were fantastic, but I didn't like the chemestry betweeen Catherine and Joe getting in the way; you were always waiting, expecting there to be an affair at any moment. I love the relationship between Eve & Joe and their bond, and was getting bothered that it was going to h...

Book

Taking Eve (2013)

I'd been reading Iris Johansen forever - since her first book was published - but quit several years ago because her books became full of melodrama, and totally unrealistic characters and plots. Yet, the concept of a forensic sculptor that helps bring missing children "home", still draws me back ...

Book

Silencing Eve (2013)

I had a really hard time rating this book. While I love Eve Duncan, this trilogy really would have been better off as a single book in the larger series. It was very wordy and left me wondering if the author was simply trying to develop a higher word count so as to create and sell more books. Tha...

Book

Perfect Witness, The (2014)

Once in a while, I read a book with no BDSM in it. Yes, my GR friends are in shock. I've been a fan of Ms. Johansen since her historical romance days. Her contemporary romantic suspense have me coming back for more. Her line of paranormal-esque ones are a bit iffy for me. Still, it is Ms. Jo...

Book

With Open Eyes (2012)

Final Target (2002)

But this one just didn't seem to be as well put together as other offerings from her.Things I Liked: the character of Sean Galen. If...

Book

On the Run (2005)

This must've been written before Iris Johansen really got her game on.

If you like Iris Johansen ...

Book
