Review

Hostage Heart is a captivating read… I really enjoyed Chelle Cordero’s ‘Hostage Heart.  It read quickly and kept my interest until the very end. I would highly recommend this book and I plan to read all of the author’s other books. It took me along on the adventure. I enjoyed the romance.  ~LDB, on Amazon

Morgen Bailey asked me a lot of interesting questions on her blog – come on by and let me know what you think!

…and learn a little bit about my interesting family history.

Novels by Chelle Cordero

His Lucky Charm and Within the Law are two
highly sensual, romantic and edge-of-your-seat tales.
Although His Lucky Charm and Within the Law
are two separate stories, they are woven together by a
common thread-cousins Caitlyn Smythe & Tom Hughes.
Some favorite characters appear in both novels and allow
the reader to become totally absorbed into the family.

One Writer’s Journey

“I write mainly romantic suspense – I love trying to figure out “whodunit,” and I consider myself to be a hopeless romantic. I like stories where people find and grow into love – to me true love is being realistic and knowing the other person (good and bad) and still wanting to spend your life with them…” (read more)

There is a theory that if you pick up a book and turn to page 69, you will know if the book is interesting or not
so we are putting it to the test…

          “Sudah is the last person to ever be scared of.” Matt knew how gentle and kind his wife was.
          “Okay ladies,” the chief entered the room. “There‘s a tropical storm moving in. I need you to be extra careful and keep an eye on your TAWS.” Each chopper was outfitted with a terrain awareness and warning system as well as GPS, absolute necessities when flying in inclement weather. “I don‘t want any incidents out there.”
          The weather service was predicting an active storm and hurricane season through the summer. This storm was just the first of many.
          “You and me both.” Tony muttered under his breath.
Both Frankie and Matt hid their grins at Tony‘s comment.
          “I‘m serious.” The chief scowled at Tony. “Frank, Chris is going to be riding with you today. Just remember, the barometer‘s gone crazy and there are winds of 60-miles-per-hour.”
         Frank and Chris were sent out to move a critical heart patient from the Outer Banks to a trauma center inland. The patient, a 53-year old man, needed pacing as they transferred him from the barrier reef‘s hospital unit.
          Matt and Tony were toned out to a motorcycle accident on the mainland‘s coastal highway. As they were getting ready to land at the LZ, Matt could see the fast moving storm clouds and lightning flashes that were headed their way. He made up his mind to move the patient as quickly as possible or they might not be able to lift off at all.
          The young man had taken his bike down on the normally busy highway; it was empty thanks to the high winds and storm warnings. The motorcycle crashed into a thicket of trees and neatly wrapped itself around one tall Magnolia. The cyclist was about 80-feet down the road against a guardrail, the first trooper on the scene had to scan…

Not all reviews have to be great
– especially when they compare you to a best-selling author

There are three reviews for Common Bond, Tangled Hearts listed in the SONY Reader Store; one review is only 2-stars because “It reads like a Danielle Steele book” and the reader is not fond of Danielle Steele. However, Danielle Steele has always been one of my favorite authors so I am really flattered at the comparison!

The other two reviews are 4-star and 5 star (not bad!) and has statements such as “Layne and Justin clearly love the child, and this comes across well in Cordero’s tender yet suspenseful prose. And when Layne’s hurtful and scary ex – who I hated as soon as Layne started to talk about him!! – shows up, I flew through the pages to see what happened to this realistically written couple.” and “There are so many unexpected twists, it kept me turning “pages” to find out what happens next. I loved the ending, but I won’t give it away. Great story!
