Summary: The Best of Both Worlds.
Review: Erin Grady's "Echoes" follows the lives of two heroines, Tess and Molly, who find themselves searching for answers to a dangerous puzzle but in different times.

While Tess sorts through the secrets of a small California town trying to find out what happened to her sister, she is haunted by visions and experiences from the life of Molly who lived in the time of real cowboys, Indians and wagon trains heading west.

Their parallel adventures test both women's courage and force them to confront the confusion and reality of their feelings for the Weston men. Which one to trust? Who to believe? In the past and in the present Tess and Molly both struggle with the age old question of "Who do you trust?".

This is a real page turner, full of wonderful characters, mystery, history and romance. A great read!

Summary: New Twist to Romantic Suspense
Review: I thought this book was a fascinating twist for romantic suspense. It is a combination of past and future without the typical time travel theme. No bump on the head, no dress, chest or mirror in the attic. The twists and turns were very well written and the unexpected was well thought out and planned.
The happy ending was the icing on the cake for this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Engaging romantic suspense
Review: Mountain Bend, California elementary school principal Craig Weston calls Tess Carson at her New York City Supplies & Sales office to tell her that her sister Tori failed to pick up her daughter seven years old Caitlin. Rather than see her niece in a foster facility, Tess, used to her sibling's failures, flies to California to take care of Caitlin.

There she learns that Sheriff Smith suspects her sister stole money from her employer, Craig's father rancher Frank Weston, who just died in an apparent tractor accident. Making matters worse as she tries to comfort Caitly, Tess is attracted to Craig's brother former Hollywood superstar Grant, who has had his choice of beauties but desires Tess too. As Tess has visions of the past that she feels is tied to her missing sister, neither she nor Grant is aware of the dangers lurking in this remote mountain town from an unidentified assailant with sinister plans who already killed Frank and abetted by an ally turned that into looking like a tragic accident.

This engaging romantic suspense stars two likable protagonists both dealing with recent tragedies that seem interconnected, but neither know how until the climax. The story line is action-packed, but insures that the audience can feel Grant's loss, Caitly's uncertainty, and Tess' worries. The final twists seem over the mountainside, but the audience will still treasure this terrific tense thriller.

Summary: Sensational romantic suspense
Review: Tess Carson is called from her New York home to a remote California town when her sister turns up missing. But when she arrives in Mountain Bend to look after her sister's daughter, she realizes there is more to the disappearance than appears on the surface because Tess knows her sister would never leave her daughter behind. But her sister's boss is dead and her sister is a suspect. Tess turns to an unlikely ally to clear her sister's name....the dead man's son, Grant Weston, who is haunted by his own demons. And there is something else haunting Tess. Something forcing her to experience strange, terrifying hallucinations of another time and place....over one hundred years in the past.

This is the first book I've read by Erin Grady but it definitely won't be my last. I could not put this book down and loved every minute of it. If you want an excellent read and something a bit different and also something that will keep you on the edge of your seat, don't miss this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Devastatingly satisfying!
Review: What a fun read! Erin Grady has a fresh vivid style that adds intensity and intelligence to her rich plotting and smoldering romance. ECHOES is filled with extremely well written characters, a deeply evocative setting and dazzling twists that kept me guessing to the last page. I loved the way Erin intertwined the parallel stories of the present and past-and expertly managed to up the tension and stakes with every scene. This book captures the perfect blend of supernatural suspense, history and romance. I can't wait for the next one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love It, Baby!
