About

Anne Patrick, known for her ‘Sweet’ Edge of Your Seat Romantic Suspense, has penned more than a dozen novels. Her works have garnered four and five star reviews and she’s received or been nominated for several awards. Her heroines are usually strong willed, witty, and often very opinionated…combinations that usually land them in situations where death seems imminent. Anne has an alter ego by the name of Kinzie Monroe, who writes Inspirational Romance. Anne, you might say, is the dark side of Kinzie. Anne’s books may be darker in subject matter, but they all carry messages of hope and faith.  When she's not killing off people or falling in love with dashing heroes, you can find her surfing the web.  Born and raised in Oklahoma, she now makes her home in Kansas.

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<font size="2"><strong>Sherry at Love 2 Read Novels said this:</strong> </font><span style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><font size="2">Anne Patrick has done it again! She has delivered a story that keeps you glued from a running start to a nail-biting finish! Alex is an interesting character. She is so strong and self sufficient but doesn't have the one thing she wants most. Royce is a wonderful tortured hero. One who has a lot of past issues but still possessed a tenderness in his heart. They really fit together well and you felt the struggle each had in trying to accept their feelings for one another. I really enjoyed all the supporting characters as well. Anne allows you a glimpse into the mind of a serial killer which is kinda scary but interesting to see the twisted way they think. She keeps you guessing through the story who the killer really is and you don't find out until the end. I like how she works faith in God into the story without being preachy. The story is chock full of action, suspense and romance. I highly recommend Out of the Darkness!  </font><a href="http://www.love2readnovels.blogspot.com/2010/04/out-of-darkness-by-anne-patrick.html"><font color="#0066cc" size="2">Read the whole review here!</font></a><br /><br /><font size="2"><strong>Ginger at Examiner.com said this:</strong> <em>Out of the Darkness</em> is a perfect example of a story done right.  You'll keep turning pages because you can't wait to find out who the villian really is and how the story will play out.  Once you finish this book, you'll be searching for more from Anne Patrick.  </font><a href="http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-34490-eBooks-Examiner~y2010m4d28-Review--Out-of-the-Darkness--Romantic-Mystery"><font color="#0066cc" size="2">Read the whole review here!</font></a><br /><br /><strong><font size="2">Chosen as the 'Publishers Pick' for the month of June at Champagne Books!</font></strong></span>
