Summary: This Book is Pure Thriller
Review: I read CRY NO MORE very fast, I couldn't help myself because the lead character, Milla Edge, has her baby kidnapped in the very first chapter. From that point on the book was pure thriller. I couldn't put it down. From the dangerous scenes in Mexico where she stalks the baby stealers, to the handsome stranger who sneaks into her life, to the double crossing friends, the suspense, the romance, all of it, every word in the book was a reason for me to get to the end as quickly as possible, because until I knew how it all came out, I wasn't going to be able to do anything else.

Summary: An Emotional Roller Coaster
Review: Linda Howard has written a romantic thriller that will take you on an emotional roller coaster. Barely into the book and you feel the terror as a young mother's child is wrenched from her arms on the streets of Mexico. Then you share her hope ten years later as she thinks she has information that might get her child back, but it turns out to be false and you crash to a depressing bottom, but you don't stay long as hope comes ghosting into the book again in the form of a mysterious stranger.Milla Edge never gets over the abduction of her baby boy, Justin. She's dedicated her whole life to finding him, so much so that it broke her marriage to a handsome young doctor. At times she thinks of her ex, remarried with children, and she's jealous, but she pushes the feelings aside, forces herself to be singular of purpose. Susanna, her doctor and friend, tries in vain it seems at first, to fix Milla up the with handsome True Galleger, but Milla balks at the attempt, turning her affections to the outlaw type bounty hunter James Diaz, who says he can help her get her child back. But True is persistent and he's a wealthy contributor to Finders, the organization Milla runs that looks for lost loved ones. Milla seems caught between these two dynamic men, however she's going to learn that one of them is not what he seems. One of them has been watching her, waiting to see how close she gets to a certain baby selling ring. CRY NO MORE oozes suspense, romance and emotion and don't let the title fool you, because you will cry at least once during this book, maybe twice. I know, I did. Reviewed by Vesta Irene

Summary: Nobody is Who They Seem to Be at First
Review: Milla Edge is obsessed with the idea of getting her son back. Ten years earlier he'd been kidnapped in Mexico, stolen from her arms while she had been shopping. She fought the kidnappers, ripped one of their eyes out, but the other stabbed her and she almost lost her life. Now she's dedicated that life to helping others find their lost loved ones, even as she continues her search for her own child. She gets a mysterious call from a man who chooses not to give his name. She learns that there is going to be a meeting on the other side of the boarder and that the man who took her child may be there. She goes, spies on the meeting in the dark, sees Pauón, the one-eyed man, though at the time she thinks she's seeing a bounty hunter killer named Diaz. She's about to break up the meeting when the real Diaz stops her. From Diaz she learns that Pauón works for others and probably doesn't know where her child is, but that if they're patient, they can find out from him who he works for. At first Milla doesn't trust Diaz, but she comes to learn that he works in mysterious ways and that he's not the villain she thought he was. Diaz tells her of a group of people who, ten years ago, used to steal children in Mexico and sell them in the States. He thinks that maybe they are the ones who took her child. Together they find out more and more about the baby stealing ring, but there are spies in Milla's camp who are watching and the closer she gets to discovering the truth, the more they want to eliminate her. This romantic suspense novel had me reading the day away. Nobody in it is who they seem to be at first, you just don't know who to trust. I just loved it. It's a good story, even if there are a tad to many coincidences in it. Review submitted by Captain Katie Osborne

Summary: They Took Her Baby, But She Never Stopped Looking
Review: Milla Edge was in Mexico with her husband Dr. David Boone, who is spending a year at a free clinic, when she delivered a healthy baby boy who she called Justin. Two weeks later she was shopping in the outdoor market, when two men grabbed the baby. Milla didn't give up without a fight. She ripped the eye out of one of her attackers, but the other stabbed her in the kidney and luckily they got her to the clinic in time for her husband to save her. Ten years later Milla is divorced and running Finders, an organization dedicated to locating missing children. She gets an anonymous phone call telling her the mysterious Diaz, who she thinks knows about her son, will be at a secret meeting in Guadeloupe, Mexico, just the other side of the border. She goes to spy on the meeting, sees the man whose eye she'd taken, one of the men who'd stolen her son. Her anger gets the better of her, she's about to charge into the meeting when someone grabs her, knocks her out and leaves her. Later she learns that that someone was Diaz and that he isn't the villain she'd been lead to believe, in fact he turns out to be a good guy and helps her in her quest to find the men that had kidnapped her son. Together they investigate a ring of child snatchers, but as they close in on the ring, Milla learns that those she'd trusted have turned out to be her worst enemies. CRY NO MORE is a nice romantic mystery, but I wish Ms. Howard could have kept the secret about who the bad guys were until closer to the end of the book, because once you know who did it, it's pretty easy to figure out the why of it all and you sort of slow down, turning the pages slower and slower.

Summary: Fantastic Read
Review: I found this book under the mystery section, I'm used to Linda Howard in romance! This book is a perfect combination of both. The story was heart wrenching, I nearly burst into tears at one point. I especially liked how Milla's feelings were focused on rather than those of the 'bad guys' Howard's previous books have made me uncomfortable with their descriptions of violence and sado-masochism (Mr Perfect, Open Season, Dream Lover) The love scenes were 'hot' as usual. I think this is her best yet. Keep them coming Linda

Summary: But have a hankie handy anyway......
Review: I've read 99% of Linda Howard's books. When you travel a lot, you need a good book to wait in airports with. This one is a keeper! Mira's baby' kidnapping was a Mother's nightmare! and you root for Mira the entire book. But the real stuff begins when she meets Diaz. Wow!!! Their adventures after that are edge of seat stuff!!! He's a very different character indeed. I am running out to buy her latest ASAP!!!!

Summary: Definitely a "tear jerker"
Review: Diaz and Milla were two tortured people whom fate throws together. This was a bittersweet story and I cried through about half of it. However, like others, I felt the resolution of the criminals was severely lacking. Why Diaz betrayed Milla is still a puzzle to me. I can highly recommend "Mr. Perfect".

Summary: My first Howard book
Review: I scoured this book off Amazon's bargain rack, read some good reviews and decided to buy it. Linda Howard is a superb storyteller, but most of all I loved the storyline in this novel from beginning to end. Howard has a gift of making the reader feel they're right in the middle of some pretty hairy situations. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good story with believable dialogue, interesting characters, and exciting places.

Summary: Pop-lit Hit
Review: Cry No More, Linda Howard
Ten years after Milla's infant son is purposely and brutally stolen from her arms, her marriage to her doctor husband David has disintegrated, but her resolve to find her son hasn't. As the head of a nonprofit called Finders, she has successfully reunited dozens of families with their lost or kidnapped children. Her passion remains firmly rooted in the desire to find her son, however, and she persists in her quest despite long years with no leads. Enter a swarthy, dangerous man claiming to have the kidnapper's name and a rich benefactor with a hidden agenda, and Milla's life is turned upside-down once more. Milla is at once a sympathetic and a strong woman, and the plot has enough tender moments and surprises to satiate both the romantic and the thrill-seeker. This book doesn't follow the typical kidnapped baby format, which is to its credit, as this is no work of great fiction.
A nice blend of sentimentality and suspense written in typical pop-lit mediocre style. Good for long rides or long nights.

Summary: This one is my favorite!
Review: I love this book! I have already read it over 4 times now, and I still come back again and again to re-read it. I love Milla, and how strong she is after her son is stolen, her dedication to finding him. And I think Diaz complments her character so well. This is a gripping book that is impossible to put down once you've started it, and I mean that even when I've already read it once or twice. I STILL can't put it down! Linda Howard grabs your heartsrings at the very beginning and pulls them along throughout the whole book, and at the end you're bawling. Trust me, I've cried buckets over this book. Here's my advice, go buy this book and keep it close to you...you'll want to read it again. ENJOY!!
