Summary: Surprises Surprises
Review: I had this book for 2 years before I read it, and now I wonder why I waited. While the ending was somewhat predictable, Ms. Stewart kept throwing in lots of little details that surprised me, even to the end.

Summary: Romantic Suspense at its Best
Review: I have just finished reading this story and as usual, Ms. Stewart has written a book you can't put down. The suspense is great and the characters are smart and likeable. Although I did guess before it was revealed who the "bad guy" was, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. If you like Nora Roberts and Jayne Krentz, you will love this book. Hope Ms. Stewart writes a story about the FBI agents who appeared in this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best Romantic Suspense Books I've Ever Read
Review: I love Romantic Suspense. I particularly love it when an author whose work I've enjoyed moves to romantic suspense without sacrificing the romantic element of the story. Mariah Stewart has done this with BROWN EYED GIRL. Gripping suspense, but passionate romance together in a book readers won't be able to put down once they start.

Leah McDevitt is a features editor for a well-known magazine whose younger sister has been missing for several years. When a man who is on death row says he might have some information regarding her, Leah is anxious to meet with him. She does so, but the meeting does not lead to any concrete information instead the convicted killer wants money. Leah agrees to send him half now, half after he gives her more info. But, before he is able to reveal what he knows, he is killed by another prison inmate.

Leah is crushed. Just when she thought she might have some peace of mind she is crushed again. She seeks the help of the only other person she knows might be able to give her assistance, Ethan Sanger, the author of a book on the killer Leah talked to in prison. But Ethan is reluctant to share this information because in doing so, he will have to relive memories he's spent years trying to forget.

Nail biting suspense ensues when Leah realizes her own life is in danger. This is a highly recommended read.

Summary: More than 5 stars!
Review: I read 2-3 books a week and this is the best book I've read this year... last year it was Tempting Fate by Meryl Sawyer. There are no boring parts in this book, great from beginning to end. Leah out to find the whereabouts of her sister's remains attempts to get the information from her would be killer while he is in prison. As she is getting closer to finding out, he is killed. Her only hope now is Ethan, the man who wrote the story about this serial killer. Although she reads the book, there is no mention about her sister but she hopes he might have known about it but just failed to add it to his book. Although instantly attracted, he struggles with wanting to help the woman but also knowing it will make him relive painful memories. This author makes you feel like you are there the entire time as even the scenery is described beautifully. I wouldn't hesitate to pick this book up, you will not regret it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: praise for such a good book

Summary: Thrilling
Review: Leah's younger sister Melissa has been missing for years. One day Leah receives a note from a prisoner on death row, who claims he knows were the body of her sister can be found. Before she can find out more, the killer is killed himself. The story is a fast read. The only thing that bothered me was that I realized who the "baddie" was quite early in the story. But that is maybe because I have read so many of these kind of novels, that I can see the early signs. I would recommend this book to all lovers of a romance with a thrill to it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow! Very highly recommended
Review: Mariah Stewart has quite a talent for mixing romance and suspense into a hot, spine-tingling blend guaranteed to satisfy the most demanding reader. BROWN-EYED GIRL has definitely won a new fan with this reviewer.

Seven years ago, Melissa disappeared without a trace. Leah McDevitt hasn't given up on finding her beloved younger sister, despite the lack of information. After her appearance on a program featuring long missing siblings, someone at last responds to Leah's promise of reward.

While her cousin Catherine holds the position of editor-in-chief for Trends, the family-owned magazine, Leah's wanderlust and free spirit finds an outlet as the lead of the Features department. When the first letter arrived from convicted serial killer Raymond Lambert, Leah was out of the country.

When Leah rushes to the prison where Lambert is held before his execution, she's appalled by the serial killer with the cherubic face. As Lambert tortures her with his words, she decides to leave. However, a cryptic question arrests her departure, when he asks, "Why do you suppose your sister wore brown contact lenses?" In answer, she promises half the reward; the other half due when her sister's body is recovered.

Unfortunately, a fellow prisoner murders Lambert before Leah learns the remaining information. The only lead left is the author of the book about the convicted serial killer. Ethan Sanger has his own pain to endure, and Leah will find it very difficult to secure his help. MoreMoreover they delve into Melissa's murder, they will also find that someone else has secrets to keep.

While the romance lends BROWN-EYED GIRL a tasty sizzle, the suspenseful tale blew me away. From the first page I was hooked -- right through the surprise ending. My sympathy for the hero and heroine's tragic losses, however, did not override the delight in their blossoming love. Further, while the love story provides interest, it does not overshadow the suspense; instead, the love story and suspense achieve a fascinating balance rarely achieved by most authors. I look forward to reading more of this author's work. Very highly recommended.
