I really enjoy suspense books - I often listen to audio books and my number one genre isn't necessarily romance, but suspense. Although a side romance never hurts! Laura Griffin writes excellent suspense/thrillers. I'm always completely engaged - not only with the crime details, but great dialogue, great descriptions of the crime scenes and some intense action. The romance in this series is very low-key and in this book fell pretty flat for me. Sara and Nolan could be cute and romancy Continue Reading
Review: Desperate Girls by Laura Griffin
I love Laura Griffin's romantic suspense books. Maybe a little light on the romance, but she writes creepy suspense and crime so well. I never get bored with crime scene details or detective work. Her books are fast paced and full of intrigue. In Desperate Girls, we have a high-powered defense attorney, Brynn, who is looking to get a young adult off of murder charges - a murder she truly believes he did not commit. She has to travel with her co-worker Ross to Dallas, to attend the trial. Continue Reading
Review: Touch of Red by Laura Griffin
Touch of Red by Laura Griffin (Tracers #12) Romantic Suspense Released: October 31, 2017 Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi This is my favorite romantic suspense series - I'm a huge fan of suspense in general. Almost 100% of what I listen to is suspense (not necessarily romantic) and the darker the better. (Shout-out to Karin Slaughter). Touch of Red is not the creepiest or grittiest of Lauren Griffin's work, but it's still enjoyable, even with a slightly annoying heroine. Brooke Porter Continue Reading

Review: Beyond Limits by Laura Griffin
Beyond Limits by Laura Griffin (Tracers #8) Released: January 27, 2015 Romantic Suspense Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi Laura Griffin can write really good suspense. In previous books I've read, her bad guys are BAD. Her heroes and heroines are smart and the books are always action-packed. My one complaint has always been the lack of romance. There is always a HEA, but the road to romance is not always super sexy or detailed. I've actually skipped her last couple because reviews have Continue Reading
Review: Scorched by Laura Griffin
Scorched by Laura Griffin (Tracers #6) Romantic Suspense Released: October 30, 2012 Pocket Reviewd by Mandi I really love this romantic suspense series by Laura Griffin. I think she does such a great job with not only the suspense part of the story (which usually has me holding my breath) but really well done character development as well. In her latest, she not only gives us a solid suspense story but the hero is a Navy SEAL. Gage Brewer is a SEAL all the way down to his core. Continue Reading
