- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another great mystery in this series. Keep them coming!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This novel will appeal to everyone that delights in romantic suspense novels by Carla Neggers. It is part of a series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. As a reader that loves mysteries I enjoyed trying to figure out the "good guys" and the "bad guys" of Breakwater Security. The sexual chemistry between Quinn Hallahan and Huck Boone/McCabe sizzles. Loved the humor of Huck's friend and back-up Diego Clemente.
I am disappointed as I've mentioned previously in review of novels by Carla Neggers that my joy as a reader is interrupted by copy editing errors. Otherwise, I would have given a rating of 4 stars. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Breakwater is part of a series, but you can read it as a standalone. Quinn Harlowe is feeling guilty about the death of her friend Alicia. She thinks she should have been able to help her when she realized that she was disoriented and talking crazy. Based on some hunches and things Alicia said, she starts to investigate the neighbour who is setting up a private security business on the estate in Yorkville, where she has a cottage. One thing leads to another until she puts herself in danger. Of course there is an undercover US Marshall that she realizes is working for the government and they become attracted to one another. The story had a lot of suspense, but not a lot of action. It was a dramatic suspense novel almost like a chess game that I enjoyed. The characters of Quinn and Huck were believable and cared about what was happening around them. I liked that a female was the smart one who was able to figure it all out. The only thing I didn't like was the sex scene thrown in at the end of the novel. I didn't think it was necessary and it did not flow well from the story, but that is just my opinion. I can see myself reading others in this series if I happen to come across them. This was my "B" book for my alphabet challenge. I had it on my shelf and grabbed it and I am glad I did.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Falling solidly into the romance thriller line this does have the advantage of featuring a dogged, determined female lead who displays competence and independence throughout the story. Quinn Harlowe is a researcher and independent consultant who left the halls of the Justice Departement only a few months ago. She still has friends there and one, Alicia Morrow, borrows her cottage only to be found dead from a boating accident. Quinn isn't happy with some of the answers and investigates and finds herself being shadowed by Huck McCabe, he's undercover and what she's investigating could kill her or break what he's investigating wide open.It's pretty predicatable but I enjoyed the read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Easy fast read. This is the second Carla Neggers book I've read. Ex-Justice Dept investigator lends her waterfront house to a friend who dies in boating accident and she investigates. Falls in love with an undercover Justice worker while discovering a group of vigillantes.
