Linda Ladd
Since she was a little girl, Linda Ladd has always been a romantic, loving nothing better than to lose herself completely in the faraway times and places of great novelists such as Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, and the Brontë sisters. Little did she dream that someday she would be transporting legions of her own fans into exciting love stories, where darkly handsome heroes are swept away with beautiful, high‑spirited heroines. Millions have enjoyed her novels since her first historical romance, Wildstar, hit the shelves in 1984. Within a year, she had signed multiple‑book contracts with two different publishers and resigned from her teaching position in order to write full time. Since then, she has penned fourteen bestselling historical novels, which have been acclaimed by readers and booksellers alike. An award‑winning author with a loyal following all over the world, her primary love remains with her family. Ladd recently celebrated her silver wedding anniversary with husband, Bill, and the magic between them still lingers, as he remains the inspiration for all her heroes. She enjoys a lakefront home in southern Missouri, and her daughter Laurel and son Bill have gone away to college. When not hard at work on her latest novel, her two dogs (Pete and Sampras) and two cats (Tigger and Tounces) keep her company, as well as Romeo and Juliet, a pair of snow‑white swans who glide gracefully past her gazebo overlooking Misty Lake.

Reviews for Gone Black

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a fantastic book, it's action packed to the very end. I've missed out on this great series. I'll be adding it my growing list of series to follow and at this rate, I'll never catch up.Claire Morgan is a feisty, ex-homicide detective who can hold her own with just about anyone. She proves herself very capable in this book for sure. On the eve of her wedding, her fiance, Nick Black finds himself in a terrible position with a sadistic family that has been after him for a very long time. I really don't want to go into much regarding the storyline or it will be full of spoilers. But I will say this, this book starts off with a bang and you'll not want to set it down until you finish it. The character's are very likable, I love Claire's grit, she seems to be a perfect match to handle herself with Nick Black's Special Operation's detail. Like I said this was the first one I've read and it's the ninth installment in this series. I didn't find myself lost and muddling through a long cast of characters. That's a great sign of a good series. I would like to thank Lyrical Underground and NetGalley for providing me a copy of this book for my honest review.
