I was immediately drawn into the story and into Cole’s world. In fact, I briefly interrupted my reading to buy the next 7 books in this series. Not many other things would have interrupted my reading of this story. I did not want to put it down. If you enjoy stories about everyday individuals who become heroes and help the under dog, buy this …
Cole and Ellie were lovers who never forgot one another despite time and distance. There is a crime mystery that Cole must solve to protect Ellie in her final days. The writing is excellent; it reached my heart and drew many tears from my eyes. But I don’t like to weep.
However, I loved Chapter 14!
Cole Sage is a man that I can actually admire and appreciate where he is coming from with his feelings. He has loved and lost, both as a man and a reporter. He is on the decline in his professional life, and he lost the love of his life over 20 years earlier. Suddenly, an emergency call from his lost love sends him running from Chicago to find out …

He takes a leave …
The old saying says that “You can’t go home”, this book proves that you can, but it isn’t always fun. This is a love story. I am a fan of action adventure, shoot em up thrillers. This story is none of that yet I read it in one sitting. Cole Sage proves that nice guys don’t always finish last. This is a good one…be warned, there will be …
Micheal Maxwell at his best with weaving his masterful and wonderful use of words to bring a main character, Cole Sage, to the reader world that portrays a “whole” man and a great stand up guy, who is capable of lovely feelings and masterful living of a live well lived. Doesn’t get better than that. Cole and his “soul mate” were offered by life …
Well written and Cole Sage is a great character. Easy read and hard to put down.
It’s an easy read but I liked the lead character, Cole Sage.
Very interesting read!
Definitely kept you on the edge of your seat hard to put down
This book had a little bit of love, tragedy & some “who done it” it. Not a mushy story.
Cole Sage is my hero. I can’t praise this book enough.
The author has created vivid characters, some likable, others not so much. But the realism as the story progressed made me feel as if I were part of it. I felt angry at the injustices, laughed at the humor, and cried at the sad parts. Books don’t do that to me often.
Maybe it’s because …
