Reviewers LOVE Deathwatch!!!
"Dana Marton grabbed my attention with that first sentence and proceeded to take me on a roller coaster ride filled with chills, thrills, sizzling emotion and non-stop action. I was riveted to this story from beginning to end, so much so that I read the entire book in one afternoon and then immediately downloaded the other books in the Broslin Creek series. This author knows how to write romantic suspense!" The Romance Dish

Another action-packed suspenseful tale that gives a glimpse of the lives of a woman who has survived multiple traumatic events in her life and a man who bears survivor's guilt and other unseen scars to go with his physical ones. The tension continues to ratchet up as danger threatens and the author's ability to create a compelling yet succinct tale is demonstrated once again." The Reading Addict
Customer Reviews
Broslin Creek Series Book #1
The opening line in “Deathwatch” is a classic hook, what every writer strives for: “Kate Bridges thought attending her own funeral would be the hardest part.” How could you not keep reading? And the rest of the story lived up to the suspense with a thrilling plot premise that pulled me in. Kate reluctantly agreed to go along with her faked death to help the FBI catch a killer, but the killer struck again right under their noses. That’s when Kate decided FBI protection wasn’t all that terrific and she’d take her chances on her own. After 18 months on the run, using fake ID’s in a cash-only existence, the real owner of Kate’s rented house returns from deployment in Afghanistan. Murph Dolan is looking forward to some much needed peace and solitude while rehabbing his old house but he finds Kate in his bed and she’s got a gun aimed at him. The story moves along swiftly with no dead spots, the characters are fully developed and believable. The tension mounts quickly without ever feeling contrived and the romantic element flows naturally. The dialogue is the only weak spot in that there is no swearing. None, nada, zip and that just lacks authenticity. A cop/soldier who never swears, not even a mild “damn”? Really? And Kate’s expletives are limited to inanities such as “Oh, fudge!” C’mon now. As they say here in Georgia, that dog won’t hunt. But the writing structure and sentence quality saved it for me. I’m a nit-picky reader, always on the alert for sloppy writing but author Dana Martin’s writing is smooth, concise and polished. I’m looking forward to the next in the series.
Great Romantic Suspense!
