Hernan Diaz’s strange, absorbing novel “In the Distance” — the story of Håkan Söderström, a Swedish immigrant whose journey in the American West is fraught with confusion, loss, loneliness and seclusion — upends the romance and mythology of America’s Western experience and rugged individualism.

Savage Country by Robert Olmstead is a literary achievement that describes the West and those who struggled to survive in its harsh environment. It is not for fans seeking a romantic view of the West, nor for those wanting a tradition shoot-um-up. Savage Country is for the serious reader.

While watching the love between Jubal and Ellie unfold is the main event, Jubal's precocious daughter, Gracie, and Ellie's teacup poodle almost steal the show. A good pick for some wholesome family-oriented romance.

Caroline is compellingly mindful, particularly when she studies the effects of a tightly knit family life on her daughters and of relentless, brutal work on her husband, herself, and her far-flung neighbors in Indian territory. Beguiling, pulse-pounding historical fiction.

As with the previous novella, this one also ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, a conclusion some might not have considered inevitable or even expected, but nonetheless very satisfactory.

Those who for some reason have yet to sample that iconic mystery work will no doubt want to do so after reading Johnson’s updated take. And while complete in itself, THE WESTERN STAR does end on a cliffhanger. Hopefully fans of the series will not have to wait a full year to see how things resolve.

There's more action than romance in this thrill-a-minute roller coaster, but as always, Ryan (His Cowboy Heart, 2017, etc.) doesn't disappoint.

Kirkus

Waiting for minimum reviews
Last year his “Nothing Short of Dying” was widely hailed as the best debut novel in the mystery/crime/thriller genre and his second book released this week equals — some of us will say surpasses — his impressive first.

Washington Times

Waiting for minimum reviews
Sternbergh cleverly keeps the reader off-kilter with his characters and myriad twists in the plot. While the medical technology to wipe memories is given its due, Sternbergh wisely doesn’t linger on this subject.

Washington Times

Waiting for minimum reviews
The last quarter of the book feels rushed because of the dozen or so storylines the author tries to fit in. Beyond those fairly superficial complaints, the savage Sioux attack on Josie, which opens the book and lacks any kind of context, feels racist and unnecessary. At best, overly complicated. At worst, problematic.

It's a slow, sexy build to a pretty great happy ending. As a bonus, this relatively diverse book has a hunky First Nations hero whose idea of foreplay includes asking for consent. This first book in Fox's Blue Moon Harbor series is the perfect scorching summer read.

I enjoy your writing style and your characters always charm me and make me smile. Those things had me staying up late to keep reading and meant that I finished the book in only a couple of evenings. Due to the lack of conflict in the story I’m going with a B- for the grade.

Award-winning author Keith McCafferty shows his experience as a longtime writer/editor for Field & Stream through tight and expressive prose, ability to research a topic accurately, and broad knowledge of outdoor lore—especially fly fishing.

Stansel writes well and moves effortlessly from past to present and from the perspectives of Silas and Frank to that of Lena. A stirring narrative of hostility, pursuit, and the desire for vengeance.

It gets a bit convoluted but at least Amanda gets her man, Seth finds his brother and has a possible job prospect and everyone makes the wedding. I have my ideas about who the youngest Porterfield sibling will match up with – we’ll see if I guess correctly.

Dear Author

I found this a very character driven plot. A quieter western, if you will. Yes, there’s the robbery start and some riding and shooting but there’s a lot of conversation and thinking. Phoebe tells Remington that he thinks “louder than any man (she) knows.”

For a shorter length contemporary, this book packs a lot of plot into it. Yes it moves fast but the set up and backstories are well done. The final conflict didn’t thrill me but the quick recovery kept it from veering into the ditch.

Dear Author

Waiting for minimum reviews
Like all her romantic suspense novels, this latest one is reliable with its tropes while presenting a unique scenario, making for not just a beach read or rainy-day read, but a play-hooky-from-work read impossible to put down.

NY Journal of Books

Waiting for minimum reviews
While River of Teeth’s ending is somewhat abrupt, leaving many questions in its wake, the fact that this is designated as Book 1, justifies its sudden finish. It does, however, engender the wish that the novella had been lengthened into a novel with a better conclusion.
