Brown-Eyed Girl

I have just finished reading this story and as usual, Ms. Stewart has written a book you can't put down. The suspense is great and the characters are smart and likeable. Although I did guess before it was revealed who the "bad guy" was, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. If you like Nora Roberts and Jayne Krentz, you will love this book. Hope Ms. Stewart writes a story about the FBI agents who appeared in this book.

I am a very big fan of Mariah Stewart. I'm more into the relationship/romance stories, one's that don't include a dark side to life. The storyline caught my attention real fast, & I had a hard time putting it down. The relationship's grew as did the suspense. Ms. Stewart made this book even better than her others because the characters were flawed, troublesome and still very human and loving. I highly recommend this book, just allow plenty of time to read.

because when you sit down to read Brown-Eyed Girl, you're going to have to finish it in one sitting! I've been a fan of Ms. Stewart since her first book and she just keeps getting better and better. There are very few authors who are really good at Romantic Suspense. Generally, one category or the other is shortchanged, but not with this book.Leah is a wonderful character and you feel every emotion right along with her as she tries desperately to find information on her missing sister. And Ethan, whose wife was a victim of the same serial killer Leah fears murdered her sister, is complex, kind, withdrawn, passionate and tortured - in short, a perfect hero. All of the secondary characters, especially Genna, Holly and Tom, are great examples of living, breathing people.I couldn't wait to find out what happened to Melissa and I hated for the book to end! What better compliment for an author. I'm also rooting for Genna Snow, intrepid FBI agent,to have her own story told. You must buy this book. I read dozens of books each month and this one is a definite "keeper".

I love Romantic Suspense. I particularly love it when an author whose work I've enjoyed moves to romantic suspense without sacrificing the romantic element of the story. Mariah Stewart has done this with BROWN EYED GIRL. Gripping suspense, but passionate romance together in a book readers won't be able to put down once they start. Leah McDevitt is a features editor for a well-known magazine whose younger sister has been missing for several years. When a man who is on death row says he might have some information regarding her, Leah is anxious to meet with him. She does so, but the meeting does not lead to any concrete information instead the convicted killer wants money. Leah agrees to send him half now, half after he gives her more info. But, before he is able to reveal what he knows, he is killed by another prison inmate. Leah is crushed. Just when she thought she might have some peace of mind she is crushed again. She seeks the help of the only other person she knows might be able to give her assistance, Ethan Sanger, the author of a book on the killer Leah talked to in prison. But Ethan is reluctant to share this information because in doing so, he will have to relive memories he's spent years trying to forget. Nail biting suspense ensues when Leah realizes her own life is in danger. This is a highly recommended read.
