Smashwords book reviews by Larry Patrick Shriner

  • Love, Lies & Consequences : Book One : Love on June 19, 2013

    More than a romance, with strong elements of suspense and an extremely surprising ending are what sets this book apart from most traditional romances. Yes, there is love and hope, but there are bad guys as well, and fear of what might happen next heightens the suspense. Author Susann Elle makes use – quite successfully, I might add – of using the present tense to great effect. And her employment of shifting points of view within a seamless narrative lets you know quite a bit about each of the main characters. And she writes the love scenes with great dignity and respect. Zoe is a strong protagonist, a loving woman, a desiring woman, but a women who is tough in the face of adversity. Her situation in the narrative becomes difficult, but she is resilient. I unabashedly give this book five stars, and intend to read another of Elle’s novels soon.
