Better than many books in this genre. Didn’t like that it leaves you hanging at the end. I want to know how things turn out.
Romance and intrigue in this co- thriller. Entertaining too!
The story is not finished! It is a teaser. Read book two to see how it ends. Why not make all one book. And it is a little unrealistic.
“Slow and Steady” started out suspenseful and never let up. Niki is a quiet introvert who works as a librarian. Her days are quiet and normal. Until Sonny walks into her library, then her life turns upside down with bad guys threatening her and stealing from her library. Sonny, who’s a cop, is trying to protect her, but even he doesn’t know who all the bad guys are and it’s his fault she’s in danger.
Great first book in this new series. Moving on to the second to see what happens next!
I love this book. Didn’t want to put it down. Bookbub did not have the entire book. I was disappointed that it wasn’t complete.
Wow
What do you do when your dad is tried & convicted about stealing money. But your guys says it wrong. You know there is something up and you follow your gut but you meet a nice girl & now you have to protect her too.
I really loved this book but I don’t like that you have to continue to buy more books to get to the end of the first story. I know a lot of authors do it but it should be better advertised that it’s a series so we can make the choice.
Nothing really happened. A slow start, didn’t hook me enough to buy the next book.
Loved the book
Sorry but I don’t like it when authors leave the story unsolved and continues on into the next book as a “device” to get you to read the next one. I will just completely forget about that book and move on to the next author. If your book is “really good” you won’t need that type of lure.
It was just the beginning. You willed to purchase 4-6 books to get the whole story.
don’t get it unless you want to invest in several books. What was there was well written just not enough.
Enjoyed immensely & purchased the next two books in the series. The downside is you have to read all three books instead of just one to get the full effect.
Wonderful characters but does fall short with unrealistic events and holes in transition.
All in all the story and characters are worth while.
Great read enjoyed characters and story line
couldn’t put it down read in one day
Good read that had me engaged the whole time. My only regret was that I didn’t notice the notation that I need to purchase books 2 & 3 to get the whole story.
Beware of the spoiler. This book is designed to be followed by book #2 of the same name. Very catching story of a family with 5 brothers and a small town. Intriguing events with a romance as well. Our male hero is a deputy and I love stories of crime events, our female heroine is a small town librarian, makes for an interesting couple
I liked the characters but really did not care for the ending. I read many series and the ending is not well done.
Would like the other books that follow this one I have finished are you able to get them? Left me not knowing the guilty person
Leaves one hanging at the end. A hook to sell the next book i suppose.
I got this book before I knew it would be a cliffhanger . I don’t normally read these 2 to 3 page romances. They get too complicated and I just want a simple escape. It was good but I wont got with book 2.
