My second book for 2017. It's a Martin Scorsese movie. Hope I won't be disappointed...

Great hopes for this book. Just starting but love the premise.

Great way to spend a Friday curled up with a new book. First, thought it was about witches, then history, and now - I see it involves time travel. It's not definitely boring.

There are certain books that require revisiting multiple times each year. This is one of them. Smart and strong women, noble men, and a great story line. What more could you ask for from a love story?

Interesting crime thriller with Russian-Alaskan history, diving, and romance combined. Good enough to seek out the rest of the books in the series.

Garrett and Sarah are fun in this book...or it could be simply that they are on a beach. But I liked it.

This was the hardest to read of the series (admittedly - I haven't read them all, yet.) I skipped a bunch of the author's monologue and unnecessary backstory. It's nice to know what happens to Hancock, but it left much to be desired.

This author writes compelling mysteries that keep the pages turning with just the right amount of romance. This is the second book of hers I've read and I am looking for more.

Of the O'Malley books, this one had was my least favourite. I enjoyed reading about the life of firefighters but Jack O'Malley's story could have been more. (No spoilers so if you are curious-read it yourself.)

What can I say about a book that I own in print, kindle, and audio and that I read at least once a year (to be followed of course by each of the books in the series?) Best book series - writing, characters, complexity, historical fiction, romance...the list goes on.

A quick romance with an element of a criminal mystery novel but without many details of the crimes. I think you need those details to form a complete story.

Refreshing and intriguing crime and romance novel.

Colters' Woman | Maya Banks

Colters' "woman" is an inconsistent character throughout the book. This book will appeal to fans of fifty shades...if there were three Greys in the room at a time.

Finally read the book I've seen everyone else reading. Quick, worthwhile book for youth and adults.

Loved the way the story was told. A quick read. Can't say I loved the characters but I think that was okay. How many people do you love on train commutes, anyway?

A real page turner. Decided to search out the other books in the series next.

Loved this book. Read this a month or more ago and want to go back and read it again. Such a wonderful love story.
