Crisis of Identity by Denise Moncrief

I've become a fan of Denise Moncrief, she has a way of telling a wonderful mystery that keeps you totally enthralled. Crisis of Identity was no exception to that. I truly was hooked on this book from page one. The story has so many twist that I was turning pages very quickly. There is never a dull moment for poor Tess.

Tess Copeland has enough problems of her own. She is on the run from the law for a crime that she didn't "really" commit. She takes on the identity of a deceased woman. Little does she know but Shelby Coleman seems to have as many problems as Tess if not more. People seem to want Shelby dead so Tess is in a lot of danger. Tess has spunk, is very independent, and is so creative to get out of the messes she finds herself in, you just have to love her.

She meets a US Marshall, Jake Coleman that has been searching for her. She also meets up with Trevor Smith that claims he is a PI. Can Tess really trust either of these men to keep her safe or is one or both of them out to get her. She has a lot of trust issues with plenty of just cause. This girl has a lot of problems on her plate. 

There is also the romance that develops between Tess and Trevor. She has feelings for him but can she trust these feeingls or is Trevor just out to get her too?

This is a really good mystery story. There is so much going on I kept thinking wow what is going to happen next!

I would recommend this book if you are looking for a good mystery with some romance thrown in. 

Deceptions of the Heart by Denise Moncrief

Denise Moncrief has done it again, she kept me completely enthralled all the way through this book. Deceptions of the Heart is full of so many twists & turns that the drama keeps you turning pages very quickly. The concept behind this story is so interesting I was completely hooked from page one.

Rhonda Prentiss wakes up one morning in a bed she has never seen, with a husband she doesn't know, in a house she has no memory of living in,  with people she has never meet in her life, and a face in the mirror she has never seen. She soon discovers that she is living the life of Jennifer Cristobal. However she has no memories that belong to Jennifer and only remembers Rhonda's life. She finds herself in a lot of dramatic situations and very unsure who she can trust. Who are these people in Jennifer's life and are they trying to kill her on purpose? Can she return to Rhonda's life and get help there? Can she trust Jennifer's husband and her step daughter to help her? Can she trust the doctor that has been treating Jennifer?

She figures out that Rhonda has passed away and Jennifer has received her heart via a heart transplant. Somehow this has caused Rhonda's memories to be trapped in Jennifer's body. Like I said the concept behind this book really kept me interested. This is such an interesting concept. Could this really happen?

I really enjoyed this book and could not stop reading. I could not wait to see what was going to happen to Rhonda/ Jennifer and who's memories were actually going to stay with Jennifer's body. 

I would recommend this book to all those out there that enjoy mystery with a little romance. If you like some interesting twist with your story I think the twists and turns in Deceptions of the Heart will keep you reading. 

Eye of the Storm By Denise Moncrief

Eye of the Storm By Denise Moncrief is part of the Moonlight Mysteries series. I have read three books from this series now and they have all been good, quick reading, short mysteries. I enjoyed Eye of the Storm just as much as the previous two books I had read. 

Kieran Talbot has enough problems of her own that she is trying to get away from. She's at her friend's beach house to re-group. The weather is turning nasty and she is just settling in to wait out the storm.  She doesn't need or want another problem to show up on her door step. That's exactly what she gets in the form of bloody and injured Davis Jackson. Kieran puts her medical skills to use and help him the best she can with what she has to work with.

Kieran and Davis are just getting to know each other when trouble for both of them appears.  These two are going to have to work together to survive.  Not only are they in danger from some bad folks, they have a nasty hurricane to dell with.  You talk about bad luck, it seems to be following these two around. 

Denise Moncrief has a way of putting a lot of drama and Action into 26 pages. This is another one of those page turners that you just have to keep reading to find out what is going to happen next. This book throws in some twist that you don't expect and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I really enjoyed this short story mystery romance.  

If you enjoy a good mystery with some romance included, in the short story form, then you are going to enjoy this book. 

An Impostor in Town by Denise Moncrief

An Imposter in Town by Denise Moncrief is part of the Moonlight Mysteries Series. This is the second book I have read by Denise Moncrief, she has a way of telling a mystery in a short story that keeps you turning the pages.

I enjoyed reading about Peyton Chandler and all the things she has lived through. This is one woman that is due a break. She has been on the run and given up so much. I loved when she was finally starting to get a nice relationship with Sheriff Brian Parker. The secrets that Peyton is keeping could ruin their relationship. 

Brian Parker has a thing for falling for women that have secrets or don't remember their past. Can the relationship he has formed with Peyton be strong enough to keep them together after he learns all Peyton's secrets.

This book is filled with lots of drama and some sweet romantic scenes. I think you will enjoy this book if you love a good mystery.

Trail's End by Denise Moncrief

Wow, where do I begin with this one? I really enjoyed Trail's End by Denise Moncrief. This book is 46 pages of entertainment. It is a short story with lots of twists and turns. I love a good mystery with romance and this was a good one.

Scarlett has a secret from her past that she doesn't want to reveal. This woman has a large amount of inner strength. Her past has left her with some trust issues.  Now she is trying to start over and she isn't sure who she should trust at all. 

Cade Henderson is a handsome cowboy that Scarlett is falling for. He also has some secrets from his past that he isn't ready to share either.

The romance between Cade & Scarlett is a sweet, slow romance. You can tell they are attracted to each other from the moment they meet but with their past they take their time falling in love. These two have a few things to over come in order to make their happily ever after though. 

I wasn't sure how much mystery there could be in a short story but let me tell you this one surprised me. I found myself rolling through the pages really quick and enthralled in this story.

I would recommend this if you are looking for a quick short story to read. If you like  mystery, romance, and short stories I think you'll love this one.
