Yet another good Lei Texiera book by this author.
I liked the book and the author. One comment. How does a wedding get postponed for a day? No explanation about what they did for food, music, flowers, etc. It was not believable.
Everything Toby Neal has written has been hard to put down reading. Love her way of incorporating island life, history and intrigue all in a great story time and time again. Super charters.
This book was terrifying, action-filled, and I couldn’t put it down until I was finished. When it ended, I kept looking for more. There were more plot turns and twists than switchbacks in the Rocky Mountains, and just as exciting.
I enjoy all Toby Neal stories set in Hawaii since I love Hawaii and can relate to all the locations. Her stories are always page turners for me an: I cannot put them down.
I started to read this series before our vacation to Hawaii. It was fun to see Hawaiian culture from the perspective of someone who lives there. Interesting mysteries; easy to read.
Set in Maui it brings back memories of my time on the fabulous island. Easy read and great characters. The entire series, that I have read so far, has been very entertaining.
I love all the Toby Neal books. Especially with the same characters in all the books. I also love Hawaii so I can associate most of the scenery that is in the books. Thrilling from beginning to end.
One of my favorite series and this entry did not disappoint. Learned a lot about Hawaiian birds and plants and was happy to see the main characters finally tie the knot!
I think every one of this series is great and I’m looking for the next book every time I open Book Bub
Leilani is a strong, determined, and stubborn protagonist who is so determined to get the job done, that she sometimes forgets that it’s okay to leave it in the hands of those she works with. Stevens is the ever forbearing love interest who despite Lei’s pit bull mentality, continues to love her :). This series of Paradise Crimes is more than …
I love this series
I love the background of the islands- lived in Hawaii in my early 20’s. Enjoy the depiction of the spirit of Maui- my favorite island.
Kept my interest till the end of the book.
My dream of visiting Hawaii some day has been revived. Please save the birds!
I absolutely love this author! I never would have found her if she hadn’t offered one of her books on Kindle. The plots are in depth, the characters are believable and true to life. Keep writing, Toby. I love your books!
Good Hawaii references.
Always enjoy a good book with a strong woman heroine. Thanks Toby Neal for another great story in tropical paradise!
I love this series from Roby Neal.
Love the characters. Love the stories! Realistic, exciting. Excellent read.
