    About this ebook

    Till Deaths Do You Part . . .

    Katie Ray was about to marry a man she didn’t love—and who didn’t love her. Even losing her $8,000 engagement ring wasn’t enough of a sign to call things off. What did it take? Being locked in the closet with a sexy PI, and being witness to murder.

    . . . Or They Bring You Together

    Carl Hades hardly wanted to be shackled with another man’s soon-to-be-wife, especially when the gorgeous redhead stirred emotions he’d avoided for years. He’d been hired by an elite Houston wedding planner to investigate some missing brides. When those brides turned up dead, Carl saw where the whole situation was headed: just like Katie’s wedding ring and her ceremony, right down the toilet. Because, while Katie was suddenly and delightfully available, he had a feeling she was next in line to die. And before he could ask her to say “I do,” he had to know who would say “I did it.”

      I really didn't like this book. It was a good story and had potential, but was written like the author was a pubescent male. I had no idea there were so many ways to say someone's "manliness was as hard as a stone". The sex talk, thoughts and acts got very tiring. I found myself wanting to know more about the killer than those he was after. Maybe so I could help him put all of these rutting characters out of my misery. I suspect Playgirl and Playboy stories are more subtle than this. Keep you day job, Ms. Craig.

      This started of excellently, but seemed to slowly go downhill as the story progressed. The dialogue between Katie and Carl was entertaining and, by and large, the laughs were aplenty, but I really didn't appreciate reading about Katie's nervous vomiting habit. Overall this could have been so much better.

      This wasn't particularly great or memorable, but it was a very entertaining read.

      A fun romance/mystery story with dueling couples. Lots of build up and tension - a little let down at the quick ending though. A great vacation/beach read!

      I got this as a free ebook, and I'm very glad it didn't cost me anything.The romance is stronger than the mystery, but still not great. It starts off strong, but as soon as the initial set up (the main characters are locked inside a room in an unheated house during a cold snap by a serial killer and no one knows where they are) is over it's pretty much all downhill, with minor bright spots. The heroine's constant mental dialogue about whether or not specific actions would be acceptable to her dead parents was tedious. I understand that the author was trying to make a point that she was living according to other people's (ridiculous) expectations, but it was overkill in my opinion.The sections from the murderer's point of view really bothered me. He's meant to have a mental illness he's trying to hide, but the symptoms are a jumble. If anything the most obvious aspects point to an extremely poor depiction of autism, which is not a mental illness. As the parent of two kids with Autistic Spectrum Disorders I found this irritating. I don't know that the author thought through the particulars of this beyond "The killer is mentally ill." If you want to create a book with a character who has a specific condition, take the time and do your homework about that condition. Just saying, "mental illness" is not enough. It's hard enough to have a real mental illness or a condition like Autism without lazy depictions coloring people's perceptions of it.I kept wanting the book to live up to its potential, but despite the minor bright spots (the hero's family was one), it never managed to get there.

      First let me say, I only started reading this because I thought it was a mystery. It was a Friday Freebie from Nook. Ummm...it's not. It's a romance with some hokey mystery thrown in to give it a plot line.It's a typical romance novel - girl meets boy, there are complications, girl decides she doesn't want/need boy and leaves. Boy pursues, girls relents and they live happily ever after. The first half of the book held my interest - Katie and Carl locked in a room, temperatures plummeting (although it was set in Houston, Texas how far can they really plummet and for how long? I'm from Michigan and I know plummeting freezing cold temps) and a crazed killer on the loose. How do they escape their dungeon? How do they stay warm? How did the wedding cake samples end up with them? Convienant. How do they keep their hands off each other because they're falling madly in love? But they've just met, and most of the time they've been in the dark. Oh she smells nice, his coat wraps me in his scent. At that point, it becomes just another romance novel. I finished reading the book because I was already halfway through it and I hate not finishing what I start. There needed to be more mystery, thriller elements and not the sexual kind to make this a truly good book. It does have it's moments though. Be aware, the sex scenes tend to be graphic and some of them seem to have no point except to be a sex scene.

      The day starts badly for Katie Ray as she flushes her expensive engagement ring down the toilet - does this reflect her feelings? The day only gets worse as she is a witness to the murder of her wedding planner. That, and a serial killer plus her attraction to a P.I. just makes her day.
      I enjoyed the book.

      Funny if a bit predictable in the make up break up story. Loved the suspense of who the killer was.
