Praise for  Killer Date "It combines the best elements of romance novels: unexpected love, sexual tension and the question of whether the two protagonists will get together with the excitement of a thriller or mystery. Well written and full of interesting characters, I really enjoyed this one." Norma D "Hands down "Killer Date" is one of the best suspense books ever! Its the second book of its series, and its like the biggest roller coaster ride at an amusement park. It has plenty of thrills, twists, and turns to satisfy the most pickiest readers. It kept me wandering from beginning to end. And I love how it wasn't centered on just one main suspense. Which can sometimes get boring. However, this suspense book involved numerous mysteries within one another. You will be asking yourself the who, what, when, where, and why's as you're reading each chapter. My favorite, was the chemistry, or at times lack of chemistry between Reno and Jenny. In the midst of wandering where on earth had Jenny's sister gone or was being held at, I was also wandering if and when these two were going to fall madly in love. Ladies, you will love the relationships between the love interests in this book, and the honest display of emotions while these characters are going through the motions. I guarantee "Killer Date" will keep you guessing and engaged all the way through!" JSummers "It is a refreshing change to the standard, worn out fluffy romance novel."KindleCustomer

Tulsa Wiggins was abandoned on a doorstep by her mother. She has always been alone, whether trying to survive in a foster home or making her way in the world. Her talent for computer technology has made her an expert in cyber security, which is perfect for a person who doesn't know how to get along with others.  When she's forced to move in with Cody, a super-hot fireman, Tulsa discovers how it feels to love and be loved. But he's a player who might also be a killer.  Can she handle the challenge of falling in love while her heart is at risk and her life is in danger? Praise for  Worst Date Ever "The story is fast paced, taking the reader along an increasingly dangerous road with threatening notes, car explosions, poisoned pizza and deadly snakes. Anyone who is deeply into technology will love this book. But it isn't necessary to understand the vocabulary of the sophisticated computer underground to enjoy the entertaining interplay among the characters or the ingenious complications of the plot."  Blair McDowell "The descriptions of the technical aspects of the hunt - Tulsa is an IT expert - were not hard to follow - thank you, author - and the revelation of the mastermind behind the cyber attacks and some rather nasty real ones was well told." Diana M.
