Summary: enjoyable fiction - good twists and turns
Review: ... Storm Surge is a work of fiction and depicts characters which will make you laugh,perhaps get angry or hot under the collar but overall its a very enjoyable ride to take and well worth the effort. I have read the first edition published by dare to Dream and found there to be some merit in a rework. The Authors edition is well done and I thoroughly recommend the read to anyone.

Summary: Amazingly Original, dramatic, and snags your attention.
Review: A strong story draws the reader into the world of the narrative by presenting action that is dramatic, interesting, different, unusual, puzzling...or something that snags the attention of the audience. This is one of those stories. First, you have law enforcement action and involvement, with its indecent elements of the criminal world including drug trafficking shown in true life form. Alex Montgomery would have given her life in the line of duty, but she lost something far more precious when she became the target of ruthless drug traffickers and Conner Harris is a seasoned officer. Together, they make a heck of a team. Second: The women in the story are human, and they make mistakes and suffer misconceptions about each other as we all do. Alex gives the sadness substance and Conner's caring significance, applying it somehow to the sadness in everyone's life when no one cares, and the triumph of the spirit when someone does. There was a loving quality to the women and that takes flair and real talent. When you have two individuals dealing with drug trafficking and their own personalities and agendas, you are going to have misunderstandings and emotions high's and lows. Third: It wasn't until I started reading through book for the second time to find an passage that I realized that this particular sequence read so real that I wondered if perhaps it wasn't based on some case, or particular situation that had occurred, for it came off as being so true to actual circumstances and life like that I could really appreciate the writing even more than I did the first time. And Lastly: This revised edition has amazing originality and a higher level of literacy than I've come across in a long time and it should attract many fans for that reason alone. Excellent reading any day of the week!

Summary: Doesn't know the proper police language and is unbelievable.
Review: I am looking forward to her next book Code Blue. This book had the right mixture of romance and drama. Celt

Summary: Could have been better
Review: I just red this book and I am desappointed! Where is the story? It's sex, sex and sex. Don't think wrong, usually I like the sex part in lesbian romance, I'm a huge fan of Radcliffe, but this one is too much!
If the police story has been in the foreground, it would have been better. But the story is shallow and a lot of it doesn't seem real or even possible.
Too bad, it could have been a great book with less sex and more story.

Summary: Doesn't know the proper police language and is unbelievable.
Review: Recalled to J to aid the local authorities in infiltrating the same deadly drug ring, and despite her unexpected involvement with Conner Harris, another cop really fails as a mytery, thriller or even as a suspense or romance novel. The characters are unbelievable, and the plot of revenge just falls flat on the floor with failure. I seriously doubt this wanttabe writer has even been in a police station, and doesn't even know the proper language. I read this on the internet for free, and should never have spent money on it, because not only is is unbelievable, but D2D does lousy editing for their writers. Recommend you buy Peggy J. Herring from Bella Books. You won't go wrong with Peggy, but this one, save your money.

Summary: Characters have charm, determination, good storyline.
Review: Storm Surge, the Author's edition, is a great re-work of an initial published effort with a different publisher. The special edition has been greatly improved, and obviously had some great editing advice. Storm surge had wonderfully developed character with guts, determination and charisma. There is a real connection between the main characters. Conner's growing love for Alex is wonderful and unfolds nicely. However it doesn't happen overnight but in a more meaningful way. I love a good police story, and this is exceptional well done. Such an incredibly unpredictable, fiery and strong couple of women thrown together in a very dangerous situation. You suffer their hurting and enjoy yourself with the disintegration of their defenses when it comes to finding each other. That's because change can force a choice between deeply held values, needs, or attitudes. The use of police language is really imposing. Katlyn has a great talent for bringing her characters to life. The writing is exceptional, rock solid and a splendid read.

Summary: Shady Lady Meets the Shadow...
Review: The back cover describes police officer Conner Harris as a tough cop, however there is nothing in the story that backs up the description. She is smart, sexy, and daring, but not necessarily tough.
FBI Agent Alex Montgomery is really a pussy cat in disguise, but she is on a mission to avenge her previous lover's murder.
These two come together under intense circumstances and hit it off immediately. The story focuses mostly on their romance and includes almost too many sex scenes. There is not a good balance between their relationship and the investigation. However, it is well written and kept my attention (I read it in one night). I didn't understand the need for the predictable plot twist at the end, but I would still recommend the book to anyone looking for a good first novel. I'm planning to read Code Blue this weekend and can't wait to start.
