Summary: Very emotional read.............
Review: I have rarely cried reading a romance, action book,but this book was an exception. Milla Edge heartbroken and damaged is looking for her son that had been taken from her as a 6-week old infant,and on top of all else losing her one kidney in the process. Having searched for 10 long years she finally finds connections in Pavon who has kidnapped her son and wants to find out what he knows. So she hires James Diaz an sniper to find him. I won't go into anymore details,but their a few hearbreaking scenes for me who is a mother,and for any woman who is a mother. Especiall the scene where she finally finds her son Justine and decides to give him up,I was crying. This book is a keeper by Linda, my second favorite following Mr. Perfect. I highly recommend this book. It has a happy ending in a way, I was so pleased how she ended the book. Read this book you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I read this book very quickly!
Review: Nice and mysterious read, I was so engaged by this mystery plot and had to think hard about the story. I enjoyed every page even if it wasn't unlike anything I'd read before. I guessed who the culprit was but then I always do in mystery novels! :+)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Linda Howard Is A Very Good Writer !!
Review: I became a fan of this writer a few years ago. She writes stories that I enjoy getting lost in. Her characters are always a lot of fun and Ms. Howard has never disappointed me. She's a writer you can count on every time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PASS THE KLEENEX
Review: Wow. This is a powerful story and a departure from Ms. Howard's latest lighter books. I miss the humor but the story is too good to quibble. Of course the book is too short - I wanted more interaction and character development between Milla and Diaz - but that's the way I feel about ALL of Ms. Howard's books. I never want them to end because they are so good and I have to wait a year for another one. I'll end on my usual note: A western, please, Ms. Howard (or another period piece like SON OF THE MORNING). Come on, you know you want to write one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Emotional
Review: The reader can't help but feel the characters turmoil in this book. Not much is revealed about Diaz, which is probably the author's intent since Diaz's character is secretive and elusive. Any mother can relate to Milla. I really liked that Ms Howard allowed the darker elements to come through considering the storyline. Unlike other authors that write safe material about perfect, beautiful, uncomplicated people, these characters aren't perfect or beautiful, but very touching and complicated - just like real people. For this reason I could ignored the obvious villains and the missing climax of the villains capture and punishment. This was a smooth, touching read. I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exciting to the end !!
Review: "Cry No More," by Linda Howard is an imaginative and exciting story that had me glued to my chair for the better part of two enenings in a row.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very good reading!
Review: Milla had a good life with her husband and infant son. It was all taken away in a moment that was to become the second that defined her existance. On the darkest day of her life, Milla was stabbed and her son taken by a group of child smugglers. Only two things can even halfway be considered comforting - a white child would be well cared for due to the high demand for them and she was able to put out the eye of the monster who stole her baby.

Ten years pass, and during them, Milla's purpose gains focus. Perhaps her own son is lost, but she can help others find their missing loved ones. It is something of a balm, seeing other's joy at reuniting, when she has lost not only her child, but her marriage and friendly relations with her family. Then, hope is reborn. Milla makes contact with Diaz, a bad man who might be able to track down the scum who wrecked her life. Working with him is nerve wracking. Diaz is everything she should avoid, and everything she needs. In his arms, Milla's tears begin to dry. But, there is someone out there who wants revenge for his lost eye. If Diaz can't protect her, Milla will find herself scattered across Mexico.

*** Linda Howard, the author who gave us Mr Perfect, once more chills readers in this fast paced novel that takes us through a whole range of feelings. Every one can empathize with Milla's obsession and inner turmoil. Yet, despite the chills and thrills, the ending warms the heart. ***

Summary: Good book
Review: I am a major Linda Howard fan. I have bought most of her novels. This is a pretty good story, very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of My Favorite Howard Books
Review: The book opens with a heartstopping account of a woman's infant literally being ripped from her by kidnappers in a market in Mexico. She fights the men with desperation and ends up nearly dying from a stab wound and loses her baby.

We then move ten years ahead. Milla has lost her marriage to her devotion to finding her child. She has little more in her life than the organization she's founded to locate missing persons. She is estranged from family who tell her to give up and get on with her life.

Milla is tireless in her fight to find Justin and while she's had nothing but dead ends and heartache in her own struggle, she's managed to find other people's children and family members so often she's become something of a national celebrity for it.

There are interesting turns here and there. The one eyed man she's looking for in connection with the ring of kidnappers to find infants in Mexico and smuggle them into the US and Canada for adoption seems to be the key. Of course, he's not too happy with the woman who clawed his eye out and destroyed his face and has some of his own vengeance in mind.

Add to this, a bounty hunter with his own agenda and secretive background, a business man who isn't what he seems, double crossing friends and a bit of romance and lots of intrigue and it makes for one of Linda Howard's most compelling and certainly her most emotionally wrenching books.

Not to give any spoilers but about halfway through I'd figured out some of the whodunits and I was slightly disappointed to see that a few bits and pieces pretty central to the story were left hanging.

Overall though, this is a really good suspense novel, not Howard's usual more romance oriented book, although there is romance and a non-traditional happy ending. I like to see that Howard is stretching herself, moving past her own genre and doing it really well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Her best book ever.
Review: Believe it or not--this is Linda's best book ever in my humble opinion. At least it is if you like some depth to your romance novel.
