Stonebrook Cottage

This is the 3rd book in this 4 book series & in my opinion it's the best so far. I was hooked from page one & it kept me up hours past when I should've been asleep. I know after reading the last book in this series that I couldn't wait for Sam's story & he was as good as promised. I loved all the other characters that we've come to love in this series & it was great to catch up with them. Unlike the first 2 books the murderer was kept a secret & it kept me guessing throughout the entire book. Finally some suspense. I highly recommend this book but I also highly recommend you read the series in order so you know who's who.

STONEBROOK COTTAGE reminds me of why I'm a Carla Neggers fan. I loved the characters, found the mystery intriguing and the resolution totally satisfying. I agree -- it's an excellent summer read.

This is the first book by Carla Neggers that I have read. I am now trying to find all her previous books as I really enjoyed this one! I highly recommend it as a Very Good Romantic Suspense!!

Larger than life Connecticut Governor Mike Parisi drowns in a freak accident while trying to rescue bluebird in his pool. Bluefield Detective Zoe West wonders why a man who could not swim dived into the pool and was the explosion at a barbecue that almost killed the second in command Allyson Stockwell really an accident. However, Mike's death means that Allyson will finish the term as governor.Allyson's two children (twelve-year-old Henry and eleven years old Lillian) are at a Texas dude ranch. However, they flee frightened as can be to the home of their mother's best friend attorney Kara Galway, who just came home to Texas after years of practicing law in Connecticut. They persuade Kate to take them to their country home. Kate reluctantly agrees because the kids are so frightened. Now everyone seems to seek the missing children of the new governor of Connecticut, but it is Texas Ranger Sam Temple who finds Kate and the kids. As Sam and Kate fall in love, he vows to keep the three of them safe.STONEBROOK COTTAGE, the sequel THE CABIN, is an exciting romantic suspense that never eases off the throttle until the final kiss. The key to the action packed story line is the dynamic cast, especially the lead couple and the kids. Carla Neggers continues her climb to the top rung of the sub-genre with her usual non-stop romantic thriller.Harriet Klausner

Carla Neggers has once again proven she knows how to write great romantic suspense. Her heroine has to juggle her loyalty to her godchildren, their mother, who is also Kara's best friend and Sam Temple, her delicious Texas Ranger. Throw in murder, mayhem and assorted characters, including a delightful police woman named Zoe, and you have a terrific read. Once started I couldn't put it down. You won't either.
