Dead Right
"As always, Novak grabs the reader by the throat and doesn’t let go. I was left both physically and emotionally exhausted – the story was so engrossing I couldn’t put it down until late into the early morning hours.... Fans of romantic suspense won’t be disappointed by this heart-thudding, spine-tingling, roller-coaster ride of a novel."

Take Me Home for Christmas
"The worst part of any Brenda Novak book is the last page. I always want more. Luckily there is usually another Novak book in the wings. The Whiskey Creek series is an absolute delight and this newest installment is...so satisfying I ran out of superlatives. Brenda Novak outdid herself in Take Me Home for Christmas."

In Seconds
"Ms. Novak pens a gritty story with her usual superb characterization. In Seconds is well-plotted and compelling. I couldn’t put it down until I had finished the story. . . well into the wee hours. I cannot recommend this series highly enough. Wonderful characters, tense drama, realism and darned good reading are trademarks of Brenda Novak who is possibly my favorite author."

Until You Loved Me
"Novak scores again with a story of two characters damaged by love. Watching the emotion that Novak pulls out of these characters is both fun and heart-wrenching; it’s a talent that not every writer has. Novak is staking her claim as one of the best writers in romance today!"

A Matter of Grave Concern
"Brenda Novak’s reputation as a great storyteller remains in place with her latest historical novel. [A MATTER OF GRAVE CONCERN] delivers a strong-willed leading lady and a roguish leading man facing off against grave robbers and kidnappers... Novak’s eye for detail shows in the carefully unfolding story. Her characterizations and locales bring the narrative off of the page as the reader falls more and more deeply under the thrall of the mysteries within."
