Praise and Reviews

grand read ...the best book that I have ever read so far. The romance was very fiery and passionate between Richard and Erica. You could almost feel the warmth radiate through the pages.---Pam Stone

Manchee. He's as proficient as Grisham.--Shannon Sutlief, Dallas Observer.

The author weaves his engaging plot through Swiss chalets, Caribbean marinas, Texas court rooms and captivating characters before twisting readers toward a curious conclusion. In this romantic mystery, Manchee's killer seems so certain. Then a sail from the Bahamas turns it upside down. But what a ride along the way. Terrific take on temptation and contemporary consequences in Texas. --The Book Reader
