Grumpy-Sunshine Love
I really enjoyed this grumpy-sunshine, age-gap romance. Ashley unintentionally wins Thorn over after he shows up to try to buy her bakery and recipe for a client. Thorn doesn’t think anything will work out because she’s so much younger than he is, but eventually, he changes his mind. The spice is good, and the characters end up being perfect for each other.

Highly Suspenseful, Well-Written Murder Mystery
This highly suspenseful, well-written murder mystery opens with a grizzly, horrific murder that gives nightmares to several people not related to the murder in any way. Likable, believable characters draw the reader into the nightmare, while the baffled but competent police work feverishly to stop the killer before he kills again. I highly recommend this book. Ms. Drewa, write faster!

A good story well told
“Adam Gold” is a good story that is well-told, which is probably the best thing that can be said about any novel. The dialog is sharply and realistically written…which is probably the main reason the characters seem so well-drawn, realistic and sympathetic. Bernhardt also avoids most of the standard cliches and tropes of the vampire novel while still respecting the genre and its sources. The author especially has a deft touch with the language. I found myself stopping often to savor a particularly original…and often moving…passage. Indeed, much of the effectiveness, mood, emotion and characterization comes from Bernhardt’s adept skill at writing.
