4.3 Stars (Averaged)
Captured Innocence
5 Stars
I very STRONGLY RECOMMEND this book to EVERYONE!
I COULD NOT put it down!!
5 stars is not enough for this book & Kennedy Layne, the author!
I cannot express how much I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The writing was absolute perfection. The story flowed with sheer perfection. All the characters were written in such a way as to make you feel they were real. It was thrilling to say the least.
The CSA team has a murder to solve. The clues are all there. A spectacular whodunit wrapped up in mystery, suspense, adult romance and intrigue. You cannot put it down. The story literally weaves around you and leaves you breathless with anticipation.
I am so enamored with this book & the writing of Ms. Kennedy Layne that I have added her to my top 5 favorites. Trust me, as much as I read that is not as easy thing to achieve!! You cannot find a flaw in this book!!
Sinful Resurrection
5 Stars
Constant action, intrigue and suspense. Even to the very last word. You just have to keep reading because you literally don’t know what is coming next. Not only are Jax & Emily both great characters in the book, but even the ‘Bad Guy’ keeps you spell bound.
And YES! Hot, steamy, erotic ADULT romance.
I am hooked on this series. I just can’t get enough!
Renewed Faith
3 Stars
Even though I truly enjoy the CSA series, I had trouble with this one. It was the constant repetitive thoughts of Elle, the female lead in the story that gave me so much trouble. To read the same thoughts over & over again was monotonous. One of my pet peeves is when the words in a story seem to be more about the count of them, then the importance they have on a story. I call them ‘Filler Words’.
Kevin & Elle were both interesting characters, the romance scenes were steamy. More could have been done on the crime investigation, the personalities of the ‘bad guys’ and other supporting characters.
I loved the previous books in the series & have already purchased books 4-6. I plan to devour each one of them with pleasure & delight!
That said, I believe this book is more of a 3.5 star’s.
Great read!! Not predictable
CSA Case Files volume 1
Volume One contains three books. The first one was outstanding. It had great characters, lots of romance, not too much stress, hot sex and a happy, fulfilling ending. I’m disappointed that it went downhill from there. The second book wasn’t as romantic as they spend much of it hating each other and keeping secrets. Then they brought a baby into it. Babies are not romantic or sexy. There was some hot sex and a semi-happy ending. I say semi because the author pulled that tired old trick of leaving something hanging hoping you’ll buy the next book. Well, Volume One contained the next one and it wasn’t very good. The hero was great, but they didn’t even kiss until the book was half over. And the heroine behaves so stupidly I didn’t like her. By the end the sex was really steamy. But, while they wrapped up one case, they still left open the one from book two. Which is to say, the bad guy is still hunting them down. I don’t like that kind of marketing. I don’t want to read a serial. I deserve a beginning, middle and end when I buy a book. Needless to say, I won’t be buying any more books from this author. It’s a shame because book one was so good I know the author is capable of much more that what the last two books offered.
OMG!!!! Absolutely got me hook, line, and sinker! I loved the characters, the storylines….haven’t read something that has grabbed my attention so much to the point I don’t want to get to to where I’m going and stop reading. I literally went on bn.com last night and bought the next three books because I want to keep reading about these characters and see where all the stories end. Highly recommend!
Love them all
I have reread this series numerous times and loved every minute of it.
Loved the whole series! Each one gets a little steamier and sometimes edgy but a very good and entertaining read!
Well developed characters , interesting plot and very steamy!!! If you like romantic suspense it is a definite read!
A bit more suspense and mystery than I usually like but great characters.
Couldn’t put it down
I will be ordering the rest of the books
