Summary: great, great book!
Review: i was beginning to dispare of Ms. Howards writing when she started writing hard backs. But, this is a great, great read! The emotions she puts into this books are exceptional. I lost a daughter in a car wreck, and the emotions that i read were true right down the line. this is a vintage linda howard read, so buy this book, get a box of tissues and enjoy.

Summary: solid suspense thriller
Review: While out shopping with her two month old son Justin strapped to her chest, two men steal the infant but not before she gouges one of their eyes out. When Milla Edge recuperates, she becomes determined to find her baby and goes to Need Finders, an organization that searches for lost people, mostly infants and children. Her husband divorces her because he can't live with a crusader which is fine with Milla who is too busy tracking down every lead pertaining to her son.

For over a decade, all clues turn into dead ends until she connects with James Diaz, a bounty hunter who freelances for Homeland Security, the Mexican government and corporations. He is a lone wolf who only opens up to Milla and he should be the last person she should be attracted to but her feelings for him transcend common sense. With his help, she discovers all the answers that eluded her but when he betrays her she walks out on him though doing so nearly destroys her.

CRY NO MORE is one of Linda Howard's best works in years. This suspense thriller wrapped around a deep and intense love story will appeal to fans of both genres. This heroine is very goal oriented and until she meets Diaz feels two dimensional as if she is a caricature instead of a person. The author did this on pretense to emphasize the obsession and what it can do to a person if they are not careful. The hero is a hunk who believes in Milla and justice in that order and he goes to extraordinary lengths to prove his devotion and need of her.

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.

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.

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: I Couldn't Stop Reading
Review: I really enjoy Linda Roberts, from her early novels, through her migddle growth period to this stunning book. Roberts gives us incredibly complex characters, finely drawn, whose lives and issues pull the reader in and keep them until the last page. The main characters, Mila, her husband- then ex-husband- David, and the mysterious Diaz are all fascinating. When we find Mila and David divorced after the theft of their infant son, we readers have no idea that we will go on a roller coaster ride with Mila as she works through this difficult emotional loss as well as becomes a different person, one capable of dealing with kidnappers and murderers.
I bought this book and kkept it, read it twice and found some new things in the second reading. I found it to be one of Roberts' best, and a marvelous read. Hankies, yes for some. Not me. Just constantly cheering Mila on in her quest and holding my breath when things got sticky.
Worth every penny.

Rating: 4 stars
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: No Spoilers in this Review
Review: When Linda Howard wrote "Dream Man" and especially "Son of the Morning," she wrote not only a hot romance but also a story which included elements not usually found in the romantic suspense genre. When she wrote "After the Night," "All the Queen's Men," and all her Mackenzie categories, she may not have been breaking ground with her story content, but the steam came right off the page. Then came books like "Now You See Her" and "Dying to Please," and I began to question my decision to buy Howard in hardback. Oh, they weren't bad books, just conventional without that added kick I'd come to expect. I would have still bought them, but I could easily have waited for the paperback.

"Cry No More," I'm delighted to say, combines the heat of her best books with the innovation of "Son of the Morning." This story is much greater than the excellent suspense story embedded in it. It is about terrible loss and terrible grief and how we do or don't heal. A quarter of the book takes place *after* the mystery has been solved, but I can guarantee you'll keep on reading.

And, oh yes, there are *two* alpha males interested in our heroine. See if you recognize her mate as soon as he appears on the scene. I wasn't sure, but I had hopes, right from his first appearance. njs
