"I'm stingy and rarely buy even the 99c books but I one clicked book two right after finishing this story."
"Part one: as I accidentally found this story and bought it on my kindle I gave it a try."
"Pretty interesting start but a bit repetitive and predictable towards the end."
"The story line is decent and flows really well, my opinion is that this series probably could’ve been written in two books instead of 3."
"My first book from this author and I loved it, loved the characters and their story line."
"I did not know what to expect but I had to get book two What Ayala went through and she's still here, I see her as a fighter and she doesn't even know it."
"A page turner, love, obsession , violence. Expect the unexpected. An emotional roller-coaster. Will read I again, I might have missed something."

Prison made me an animal. But an innocent girl began writing me, pen pal style. Laney Evans, with big brown eyes and a trusting smile. Because prison’s made me into a beast, hungry and ravenous. A hotter than Hades story line, with a few twists and turns, and sweet heat romance to boot! Once started reading this steamy passion filled goodness I was freaking hooked! Ms Dee is superbly creative and incredibly insightful when it comes to descriptive characters and in crafting the type of story that gets you out of your own head and completely absorbed into one hell of a book.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've been reading Cassandra Dee books for quite some time and I think she is a great author who writes hot steamy stories that you fall in love with the main characters and always want the story to continue, and now you add another author with her great skills and you've got a phenomenal experience."
"What I couldn’t overlook was going from the front hole to the back hole - and then BACK to the front hole without washing up."
"I made it all the way through this painful book so that I could give it a fair review. There is a definite error in the marketing of this book that says the two are "pen pals" --they never write to each other, they just have a disgusting and implausible sexual relationship in the prison itself."
"Words and phrases that were repeatedly used were childish and downright laughable at times — “boobies”, “melons” and “unnnhhh!” were used over and over again. This read like a rough draft by a 15-year-old girl...or boy, considering how many times the main character said “boobies”. I’ve read plenty of romance novels, so I’m not a prude in any way, but that was just plain old nasty."
"Please stop with the "boobies.""
"Worst writing style ever."
"Premise was good, I was excited to read it because I love a bad boy/innocent instalove and dark story line. A little taboo/forbidden because the majority of the sex takes place in prison. This book was all over the place."
"I started losing interest after it seemed the only word used for breasts was "boobies" but I tried to stick it out but couldn't even get past the first sex scene."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The telling of Cassie and Peach's dreadful childhood trauma, and the absolute unbreakable spirit Cassie had throughout, was very well done. It wasn't exactly overnight, but their path, their thinking, their personal thoughts weren't involved enough in the story telling so it seemed rushed and not written as well as it might have been."
"While available in Kindle Unlimited everyone should check them out and fall in love with good hearted alpha bikers and the women they love."
"This book had great potential, but just fell short."
"So when the person that made Cassie the way she is comes gunning (pun intended) for her, it's up to Deke and his men to keep her and Peaches safe. Book Two, kicks off with Cassie thinking she's in the clear, her past put to rest, but not all is as it seems. When there's a madman looking for revenge it's hard for Cassie to try to bring her dream to completion. Redemption House is almost done, she has her sister back, and she's pregnant with Deke's baby. But on her wedding day Deke's father shows and ruins it, then later kidnaps her, throwing her into an old hell. An uncle that's not to happy that his brother (her father) was killed and has vowed revenge on whoever it was that ratted him out. And after that, the police start asking even more questions about her old foster mom, if you can call her that, and we find out that one of the detectives on the case isn't who he claims to be. When Cassie is kidnapped at gunpoint, it's a mad dash to find her before it to late for her and the unborn babies."
"~*~ Spoiler Alert~*~. Book 1: Trigger Warning. When a fiery redhead comes storming into his club, Deke is determined to discover her secrets! I loved the fact that while Deke was a hard man, he was determined to protect Cassie. Book 2: Trigger Warnings. Cassie thought she was finally going to get her happy ever after. Book 3: Trigger Warnings. As Cassie and Deke become closer to the arrival of their babies, both are struggling with pains of their pasts. I didn't blame Deke for his reactions to his father, but did agree that they were alike."
Best Heist Crime

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Had I not downloaded it before going to work, I absolutely would have read it in one breathless, barely blinking, madly swiping sitting. It's an interesting literary technique that allows him to merge past and present seamlessly, mixing in antecdotes that the friend knows and filling in Russell's back history as well. It rings true, allowing for a more casual, honest tone with a single narrator not wasting space on excessive descriptions of places or people, giving an immediacy and intimacy to the book."
"INTRO: Only The Rain is a powerfully written suspenseful drama that I found compelling, even though I did not love the character. To give a feel for the editing, and the style and flow of this work, I am posting a brief excerpt below. The music has stopped and there’s this three-way conversation going on between that crazy dog and the pattering rain and my heart thumping like the wings of a flushed grouse. I say to her, “If I put you down, can you walk inside?”. Her grip around my neck tightens and she pushes herself up tighter against me. “Doan’ pu’ mee down.”. This whole description I’m giving you is probably coming off a lot funnier than it actually was. Either that pit bull was going to rip its chain loose and come flying at me, or some burly boyfriend was going to appear with a shotgun in his hands, or somebody who knew Cindy was going to drive by and think, isn’t that Russell there with that naked girl in his arms? So I’m standing in the living room now, bare plank floors and a ratty old couch and matching chair and a coffee table covered with water rings and cigarette burns and empty beer bottles."
"This is an engaging tale of a man struggling with the results of choices he's made and how he works to make things right."
"Man steals money to support his family, and for about a hundred pages the internal monologue focuses on his guilt. Finally, the action ramps up and two thugs come sniffing around and this army trained personnel can't deal with them? This disrupts the immersion and is really bizarre that seems to encounter no real purpose other than reminding the audience he's writing an email (that he deletes?)."

Best Kidnapping Crime Fiction

As her story twists and turns, slowly shedding light on life in the Butterfly Garden, Maya reveals old grudges, new saviors, and horrific tales of a man who’d go to any length to hold beauty captive. Dot Hutchison is the author of A Wounded Name , a young adult novel based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet , and the adult thriller The Butterfly Garden .
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"This review does not contain spoilers, however, I do discuss points included in Amazon's summary description; if you consider those spoilers, avoid this review. -o-. 'The Butterfly Garden' is told in alternating first and third-person-limited perspectives: the main character relates her story to FBI agents following her rescue from the Garden. When used by experienced writers (Rothfuss' 'Name of the Wind' is a good example), a nested story can be very effective. It was hard to believe in the setting, both that it could exist (how do you find contractors to build this sort of thing?). The third person portions tended to exposition, which made those times in the story feel like they moved more slowly. The 'twist' at the ending was unnecessary, without adequate foreshadowing to make it satisfying for the reader."
"The first problem is the setting; It's hard to picture the "butterflies" ( The kidnapped girls) being kept in some kind of enormous greenhouse (big enough to hold a pond for swimming, a waterfall, a cliff, a glorious garden, a kitchen, rooms, hallways, essentially and entire compound) inside an even bigger greenhouse on the killer's private house grounds. Such a colossal structure wouldn't slip by prying eyes for the nearly 30 years that the Gardener has been abducting girls. You're led to believe that the survivor, Maya, may or may not be on the right side but then she starts singing like a canary right after that and the mystery is lost. Maya was protecting her former roommate who was the one butterfly who had escaped 10 years prior, pregnant with the Gardener's child. That's all.The author seemed to be more concerned with reminding the reader every few pages that a butterfly was being raped or beaten by the Gardener and his son instead of moving the story forward at an even pace. The fact that the only time Maya shows any emotion is when she's developing affections for the Gardener's other son, Desmond (who discovers the truth and doesn't go to the police until 6 months later) is infuriating."
"I reread the end 3 times to make sure I was reading it correctly because it made so little sense."
Best Murder

His drug-addicted sister has just been released from prison and his mother is succumbing to Alzheimer's, but Dillard's commitment to the case never wavers despite the personal troubles and professional demands that threaten to destroy him. "Pratt's richly developed characters are vivid and believable, especially the strong Southern women who fight their male-dominated culture from behind a facade of vulnerability in this brilliantly executed debut."
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Other writers will use long descriptions of what the landscaping is like as someone enters a driveway to a house, or a long paragraph describing what a woman is wearing and the scent of her perfume and the necklace she is wearing. And that is exactly what Scott Pratt avoids and makes his books such a delight to read. Each of his books in this series has a great plot that makes them a such page turner."
"Joe Dillard is a criminal defence attorney, that is he defends murderers, thieves, drug dealers, prostitutes and rapists among others. Having now saved a considerable amount of money, he wants to quit the legal profession permanently but before that he wishes to defend at least one innocent client. On checking the whereabouts of the preacher, Landers finds that the victim, although a man of God, had visited a strip club the night before. The club's wealthy owner, Erlene, being a close friend of Angel and knowing Joe Dillard to be one of the best attorneys around, pays him a hefty sum and hires him to defend her employee."
"I am a trial lawyer myself, so I enjoyed this one."
"Scott Pratt's "An Innocent Client" is a typical Scott Pratt book! His hero Joe Dillard is tough as nails, but you just want to smother him in a big hug."
"A fabulous story about a criminal defense lawyer who is tired of dealing with guilty clients and decides it is time to find a different way to make a living."
"I am not sure how I happened upon this book initially, but I'm glad I did."
