Summary: WHEN NIGHT FALLS is an absolute keeper!
Review: All I can say about When Night Falls is *WOW*! Now I know why Romantic Times gave it 4-1/2 Stars and a Top Pick. The story grabbed me from the moment I started reading and it didn't let go. I'm still thinking about it, long after closing the book. If you like riveting, fast-paced stories with strong, sexy heros and spunky heroines, then you'll love WNF. Liam Armstrong is a man who's been under suspicion for the disappearance of his girlfriend (his daughter's mother) for many years. A successful businessman, he's created an insular life for himself and his teenaged daughter, Emily. But that existence is shattered when Emily disappears without a trace. Detective Jessica Clark is called in on the case, and is forced to work with the same man whom her policeman father investigated for possible murder those years ago. Even though they never found enough evidence against Liam Armstrong, those on the police force have always considered him guilty. Liam is hardened, embittered man, except with his daughter, and Jessica has her work cut out for her. She has to force herself to remain objective, while she battles years of prejudice against Liam Armstrong, as well as her startling attraction to him. Liam must learn to let down the defenses he's built, and to trust again. Jenna Mills does a fantastic job of showing the growing relationship between Liam and Jessica, entwined with wonderful suspense and heartwrenching emotion as they search for Emily. Add an explosive twist ending, and you have a book worthy of a permanent place on your keeper shelf, and that 4-1/2 Star, Top Pick rating from Romantic Times.

Summary: Great Read!
Review: I love books with hard, hard heroes. The authors calls Liam Armstrong "granite man." And he is. Through the ordeal of looking for his daughter, we're given glimpses of the tender father beneath the hard exterior. The author expertly pairs this tortured father, living every parent's worst nightmare, with Jessica Clark, the daughter of Liam's old nemisis. He has no reason to trust her because he is the prime suspect. Despite Liam's reputation, Jessica believes him, and she follows the evidence even though she's thwarted at every turn by her well-meaning fellow police officers who are sure they have their man. The ending has a wonderful twist that is completely unexpected. And, the progression from distrust to trust to love with these two characters pulls at the heart-strings. This is a wonderful romantic suspense where the story would fall apart if any thread were pulled out of the story. I'm looking forward to reading more of this author, and I can't wait to get my hands on her next book.

Summary: Winner of the WordWeaving Award for Excellence
Review: When his daughter Emily disappears, William Armstrong's past returns with a vengeance. Seventeen years ago his girlfriend disappeared without a trace, leaving a legacy of speculation and rumor. Based on circumstances, speculation, and political alliance, police chief Wallace Clark was determined to prove murder but never successful. Now his daughter investigates the disappearance of Liam's daughter, ever aware of possible connections to the past. Like any good cop, Detective Jessica Clark knows emotional involvement equates with disaster in an investigation. Seventeen years of hearing her father rant about Armstrong made it difficult to separate Liam from his past. Now Jessica suddenly finds herself confronted by another side of the man - the father convinced his daughter has been kidnapped. She also feels an odd kinship for the seventeen-year-old she has never met. Soon she realizes that compassion mixed with attraction can be dangerous with danger lurking ever nearer. Author Jenna Mills pens an outstanding tale of intrigue in love in WHEN NIGHT FALLS. With consummate skill, she weaves a tightly woven plot that will keep readers guessing until the last page. In addition, these vividly created characters come alive. On one hand, Liam lives a life that is driven, isolated, and dangerous, softened only by his love for his daughter. His carefully guarded heart, however, is defenseless against the beauty with a badge. On the other hand, Jessica struggles to reconcile rumors of the past with the father she sees in front of her. Further, Jessica lives her father's shadow until Liam forces her to follow her instinct and her heart. Add this one to your keeper shelf! WHEN NIGHT FALLS earns the WordWeaving Award for Excellence.

Summary: Dark, intense and very sexy!
Review: When Night Falls is an intense, very dark and very passionate story. I'm not a reader of dark romance novels. I tend to like them light and funny. However Jenna Mills' strong writing voice is hart to resist. Wealthy entrepreneur Liam Armstrong's teenage daughter is missing. And the only person willing and able to help him is Detective Jessica Clarke, the daughter of the man whose mission it was to see him behind bars. Liam is strong, dangerous and very sexy. But Jessica is not someone to give up or back down. She is intelligent and confident and knows what it feels like to grow up as the daughter of a prominent man. With the enforced proximity of the investigation it comes as no surprise that Jessica, in her beauty, strength and compassion gets to Liam. He might be struggling against the strong attraction, but loses the battle when she reaches out to him in understanding and warmth. When Night Falls is fast paced, driven, unforgiving in its intensity, highly sensual and emotionally very satisfying!

Summary: MUST READ BOOK OF THE SUMMER
Review: WHEN NIGHT FALLS is the must read book of the summer. I literaly could not put it down. When I wasn't reading it I was thinking about when I would be able to again. It was so suspensful it had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Liam Armstong is the ... hero who will stop at nothing to find his missing daughter. He feels he's all alone in his search until he begins to trust and ultimately love the detective assigned to the case. Together, through their strength and courage they make quite a team and help each other through a very sensative situation. Jenna Mills has done a brillant job of bringing to life the horror of having a child kidnaped while at the same time showing us love, strenth and compassion. It is difficult to combine the two but Jenna Mills has done an outstanding job. She is an author to watch because she is incredibly talented and awe inspiring.

Summary: Great Read!
Review: William "Liam" Armstrong is haunted by the demons of his past. The mother of his daughter disappeared seventeen years earlier, and although never accused of any crime, the police and media have always thought of him as the number one suspect in her disappearance. Now, Liam's daughter Emily is missing, and the detective assigned to the missing person case, is the daughter of the man who went to his grave believing Liam guilty of murder. Detective Jessica "Jess" Clark knows that the most likely suspect in Emily's disappearance is Liam. But one look at the distraught man's face tells her that he doesn't know what happened to Emily. However, Liam is determined to believe that she won't really help him because she is the daughter of the man who tried so desperately to put him behind bars. When a taunting message about Emily is delivered to Jessica's house rather than Liam's, Jess knows that someone is out to play games with both of them. Liam doesn't want to fall for the detective looking for Emily, but her determination and strength ease the pain in his soul. Jessica in turn doesn't plan on falling for Liam, but she sees in him a loving and desperate father, and a man that needs the love she wants to give. Jenna Mills has written a deeply moving and touching love story that revolves around a seventeen year old mystery. If you enjoy reading Linda Howard or Nora Roberts, Ms. Mills will be a new treat for you. I look forward to many more reads from this talented author.
