REVIEWS: "Constant
Craving is a ride a minute! Fast paced, edge of your seat, the
plot keeps going until the very end. Well written with remarkable
characters and a story line that will keep the reader guessing
until the very end. I couldn't put it down! Reviewed
by MyShelf.com "CONSTANT
CRAVING is an interesting novel of romance and suspense. The characters
are complex, and it's only as the layers are peeled away that
the reader really gets to know them...I've read several books
by this husband and wife writing team and enjoyed them tremendously..."

Excerpt: She found several books on the psychological aftermath of crime victims. She bought them all, with a quick look over her shoulder for Rhys, then stuck them in a bag and hurried back to him. She was almost a doctor, after all. She should be able to understand their problems as victims and deal with it. Scanning the books made her even more aware that they were both suffering from problems related to their experiences Rhys had picked up a briefcase and something else. While they had lunch at a restaurant in the mall, he handed her a small box. He nudged her when she looked at it but didn't move. "Open it." "Rhys..." "Open it. Please." She looked up at him then back at the blue jeweler's box. His engagement ring gleamed on her finger again after the police returned it. He'd never bought her jewelry besides that ring. She opened it carefully. It was a string of pearls. Perfectly matched. They gleamed like tiny moons against the blue velvet. "I think we can assume yours were lost in the fire at my house," he said casually. Jessie felt tears come to her eyes. They couldn't replace the sentimental value of her grandmother's pearls but they would have a new place in her heart. "Thank you, Rhys. I didn't buy you anything but you lost the most." "I disagree," he assured her, taking her hand. "I still have you." "Those are some mighty pretty words," she retorted, glancing away from his face. "But you still lost everything." "I'm not really dealing with that yet. I'm waiting until the rest of this is over Then I'm going to go in the woods and howl like a banshee." She wiped a tear from her eye. "Sounds like a plan. Can I come?" "Do you howl well?" he asked pointedly. "Like a banshee. A big, wailing banshee." "Then you're in." He sat back in his chair. "What's in the bag?" "Books," she replied honestly, hoping he wouldn't ask what kind. "I thought I might do some reading while we're on the road." "Like going to the beach?" "Exactly." "Are you ready to face this man?" His gaze searched her face. "As ready as I can be." She took a deep breath. "I can't believe this could be him! It wouldn't make any sense." "It may not be him," Rhys obliged her. "The police do make the wrong arrests from time to time, don't they?" |
