A business trip finds Jack and Kate finding their desires run along the same path, but are they already putting out the flames of desire before the passion truly ignites. Emotions rise, past is revisted and secerts are reveiled. Two both very differnt people from two different paths of life, with this bring them together or tear them apart..

My Review !!!

Once again Amy Romine has delivered the goodies. – A suspenseful romance filled with twists and turns, I’m sure not even a roller coaster ride would take... You will be shocked, intrigued and drawn into this suspense, flipping to find out what’s next...!!

In Shockwave we meet Jack and Kate. Jack is a cocky, handsome, self absorbed and arrogant radio host. Living life enjoying his unattached status and living foot loose and fancy free. I rather enjoyed Jacks ** Cockiness ** if you call it that, he had spunk, yet we also found his weaknesses. Despite his hard, non caring exterior Jack found himself wanting something in life he wasn’t searching for. He wasn’t impressed with Kate’s assertiveness and controlling nature but in time, he works out Kate’s true side.
So both Characters like polar opposites, but saying that Opposites do attract...
Kate, an FBI agent, good at her job, and dedicated. I enjoyed her assertiveness – 20th century kick arse chick style aurora.. She was her own person! Believed in her ways, and stuck to them. Protecting the ones she cared about even if it meant hurting herself in the process.
The attraction between Jack and Kate was Smokin !! Sensual and full of passion.. Their loving was tasteful, sexy yet also enough to have you eagerly flipping briskly through the pages. ** Lusty wink ** Nothing quite like a bit of romance and love to add to a suspenseful story.

Shockwave is an intriguing, fast paced suspense, with a climax that makes you want to rip the arms of the chair you sitting on!! It will have you nodding and wandering and slightly heartbroken …. But I knew Amy had her reasons, which will come about in book two I’m sure.
The dialogue flowed smoothly, chapters fluently running from one to the next, plot well outlined and character development wonderfully created.
I enjoyed all the secondary characters, all playing their parts well, in the twist and turns, throughout the book. We all have characters we fall in love with, others we don’t like to see leave due to unexpected circumstances, but all their parts vital in creating that atmosphere in Shockwave... Ending is definitely not predictable...
It will leave you shocked!!
Another great start to a fabulous series and I eagerly await book 2.

Recommended to Jeanie by: I found out about Ms Romine through Literary Nymps

This is the first in another three book series from Amy Romine, the author of the awesome Trust Me series. Once again she has hooked me in to the point that I am now dying for the next!! I heard somewhere that it is coming out May 1st!
Shockwave is about two very different people, a self absorbed radio host and an head strong FBI agent. You know of course from the beginning that they are going to get together, but the question is how. Amy is not kidding when she states that she makes her characte...more

MY OVERALL REVIEW FOR THE TAROT SERIES: SHOCKWAVE, BACKLASH & FALLOUT:
**This review does NOT contain any spoilers**
Shockwave, Backlash and Fallout are the three short novels that comprise the Tarot series by Amy Romine. The reason I decided to review these books as an overall series v. each individual book is because if you read all three novels consecutively they make one large novel- book two picks up where book one ends and book three picks up right where book two ends. I read all three novels back to back, and it felt like I just finished one large novel.

This series was a little jewel that I recently stumbled upon. Quick, addictive and sexy are probably the first three words that pop into my head when recalling this series.

The excitement in this series comes in three main forms 1) romance 2) action 3) suspense. Kate and Jack start off as business associates, but their heated banter and sexual tension eventually leads to a whole lot more. Jack and Kate aren’t long-term commitment types. Jack is accustomed to meaningless one-night stands, and Kate is used to people leaving her because of her demanding job. Jack and Kate together are a relationship catastrophe waiting to happen. They both have commitment phobias and a hard time trusting people. Jack and Kate’s relationship and their problems were very realistic. The situations they get themselves into, not so much. The suspense and action comes in the form of Kate’s career. She works for the FBI. She was recently kidnapped, and she is having a hard time recalling what happened to her. One of her good friends, Mike, rescued her, whisked her away to Texas, gave her a job, and demanded that she rest and recuperate. Her kidnapping was so traumatic that she is blocking out the events. That is when crazy things start to happen: people are murdered, people are poisoned, people are wrongly accused, and some people’s secrets are discovered.

I enjoyed this series beginning (Shockwave), middle (Backlash), and end (Fallout). However, I do feel this series is a little overpriced. I know $4.99 isn’t much per book, but it is expensive considering how short the novels are. I think the author should put all three books together in one bundle and sell them at a lower price. However, that is just my opinion.

Overall, I gave The Tarot series by Amy Romine 3 STARS (3.5 STARS). I have sort of been in a book funk lately, but this series really excited me and gave me something to look forward to.

-XOXO

I picked it up and adored it. Very different from her last series, which makes me like it even more. She has an awesome ability to create characters that fit together, making them believable and the sensuality hot. You can tell she is setting up the explosion in book two. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Fist sight I wasn't expecting to like this at all. my friend dared me to read it and well she won the bet, I liked it. There is enough suspense to keep me occupied and the sexy stuff didn't bother me at all. I really liked this, so much so I asked her for the rest of the series.

About Amy Romine

So you want to know a little about me…hmmm…I am a wife, mother of three and full time sales analyst for Ricoh America’s Corporation. I have two dogs, two cats and I collect hippos (not real ones). I adore hippos, thankfully there are not many of them around so my husband doesn’t kill me. I have been writing since I was thirteen but didn’t decide to take my shot until I turned thirty-six.
