Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-24 00:00:00 Komora Mwanika Rider on Fire 4.25 STARS SYNOPSIS: DEA agent Sonora has always been alone. She is devoted to her career and it takes precedence over romantic relationships. Sonora becomes number one on the hit list with a bad guy in Mexico and has to make herself scarce. Since she was raised alone in an orphanage, and has no known family, she takes off to 'lose' herself on the road. Meanwhile - Franklin, a Native American man dying of leukemia has a vision. His youthful sweetheart walked out of his life with more than just his broken heart. In his vision, he realizes, she was pregnant. The man goes to his Native friend Adam as asks that he do his mojo and find his child. Adam agrees, and Sonora finds herself strangely drawn down the road by night, and dreaming of the unknown Adam by day. At a gas station, to her shock, she comes face to face with Adam. He brings her to Franklin, and the sweetest reunion begins to take place. There is a HEA (happily ever after), and a good resolution to the killers from Mexico storyline. This book has the best storyline of a man meeting an heretofore unknown child. It doesn't happen in an instant, but quietly, over a period of time, trust and understanding develop into compassion and love. My only beef with this book is there was never any question as to why Sonora was left at the orphanage. I think the reader is supposed to think it was due to racism on the part of her bio mom, but that's just a guess. It's a good book, and classic Sala. Call My Name 3.5 STARS SYNOPSIS: Pre-cog gal from the backwoods of Kentucky 'sees' an accident one night. In the middle of a blizzard, she frantically arrives at the hospital just in time to provide a life saving transfusion of her rare blood type to the critically wounded man from her vision. Flash forward: the man, Wyatt recovers and wants answers. He seeks out the mysterious woman of the blizzard, and arrives just in time to find her grieving for her family. A killer targeted Glory, but missed. Wyatt arrives and takes over the investigation and insures that Glory stays out the cross-hairs of a killer. Cue HEA. (Happily ever after). CONS: Ok. Glory is a very wimpy whinny passive character who expects others to take care of her. Despite the fact that she's in her mid-twenties, she has no job. No higher education. No prospects of doing anything in particular. And apparently has no intention of changing the status quo. So..... how does she pay for stuff? Also, IMO the entire town dislikes or distrusts Glory due to her pre-cog abilities. (Ok, the church ladies were nice and did some kind things...), she has no chance of a bettering herself, and has nothing and no-one to tie her to the backwater little dirt farm her family owned. She could go anywhere and relocate, but chooses to remain passive and mired in mediocrity in this wretched little community. IMO, she should have moved to the town where her husband Wyatt has 5 million relatives so there's that 'multi-generational influence' available for their children. (Translation: Free Babysitting). PROS: It's a Sala, and she always delivers absorbing stories. I'm slowly working my way through all her books and enjoying them all. This is not one of my favs, but it still beats the average paperback.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-03-21 00:00:00 Noah Maciag This is a collection of early Sharon Sala, not as strong as her later works but fun escape into a country setting with strong people and family overcoming evil.
