It’s not that Micayla Lange is afraid of the clinking she hears coming from the first floor of the empty McMansion she’s housesitting for her uncle Nicco. She’s a cop, after all. It’s just that finding out her boyfriend was cheating on her was enough drama for one night. Now she’s alone on New Year’s Eve, wearing flannel pajamas and wielding a Glock 22 as she zeroes in on...more

My first and not last Karen Robards book is Sleepwalker. The time period of the main story is three days. Maybe less. The first part is a flashback of Mick and Jenny's mother's murder when Mick was 11 and she was killed in front of their eyes. Now 27, Mick has nightmares every few months and she sleepwalks, sometimes waking up to her own screams. Which is how Mick finds herself out of her bed on New Year's Eve while house sitting for an old family friend.

While returning to her room, she hears a...more

*****SUPER SPOILER ALERT! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!******
(If you haven't read this book, this review will spoil the whole, well not whole but all the good parts of this book. You've been warned.)

Found this book at the grocery store. I swear I picked this book up like 20 times before I finally settled on buying it.

Start reading it, started out a little boring (like I think most books do because they have to establish the back story & introduce characters, blah blah blah etc...)

Then it gets to Mi...more

Sleepwalker by Karen Robards is a great read! Mick is a hard as nails cop that is by the book. Too bad her personal life doesn't mirror her professional life. She is spending New Years Eve alone, house sitting/guarding her "Uncle" Nicco's house, a day earlier than expected...she just broke up with her cheating boyfriend and is starting 'guard duty' early.
Jason had the robbery planned to perfection; what better time to rob a mob boss then when no one was home? Too bad he hadn't planned for an une...more

This review is based on a free copy supplied by the Publisher through Goodreads First Reads program.

Micayla Lange (Mick to her friends) is a young Detroit Cop house sitting for her Uncle Nicco while he is out of town. With nothing better offered for News Years Eve she decides to go up a day early.

The book initially starts with a flashback to when Mick was a young child of 11 years old and the murder of her Mom.

Zipping to the present time Mick wakes up when she walks into a glass door having been...more

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

My Summary: Mick's New Years Eve is nothing glamourous: she's staying at her Uncle Nicco's mansion, guarding it from intruders like the good cop she is. But when she's woken in the middle of the night by some ominous noises coming from the ground floor, she has no choice to investigate. So what if it's a thief? Mick's a hard-as-nails cop, and she's got her gun in case things go bad...

And...more

Karen Robards has written some of my favorite books and I count her as a favorite author. Sadly, those juicy books that stir my blood were written a long time ago.

Sleepwalker is romantic suspense that is lackluster in the romance department and short on suspense. It has elements of romantic comedy that aren’t all that comedic. I can think of dozens of contemporary books with cute bickering couples that are more entertaining. Nevertheless, we have Detroit detective Micayla La...more

Normally I like Karen Robards' books, but not this one. Usually they are full of great characters and fast action. Most of the times they are page turners. But this time I was very disappointed.

The story starts with Micayla finding herself a witness to a robbery. The action of the robber - Jason force her to leave with him, while the security officers make chase. - What a great start to a book - so I thought...

The time line of this story is only a few days - maximum a week. Firstly Mic & Jas...more

Mandy's Review:

On the book that I have, the line below the title on the front cover reads 'A Thriller' instead of 'A Novel.' I'm not sure why they changed it because this novel is a thriller.

Micayla (aka Mick) and Jason's story can be compared to a symphony. You have your introductory, which then turns into a more full-bodied musical piece with the added tensions and plot twists. From there, the story continues to pick up speed that psychologically thrills the reader's mind and imagination. Fina...more

I wasn’t sure that I would like Sleepwalker because I am not a big fan of books where the main characters are on the run through the book. Boy was I wrong about this one. This book will keep you on your toes with suspense from beginning to end.
Micayla (Mike) Lange is a cop spending New Years at her Uncle Nicco’s house, when she wakes up after a nightmare. She is about ready to go back to sleep when she hears an odd noise. When she goes to investigate it, she walks into a crime scene. Jason Davis...more

Karan Robards is an author I read a lot. I love her books and her characters. Sleepwalker is an interesting read. It has laughter, anger, frustration, and that awe shucks, I wish that was me ending that I love. However, I couldn’t get over how naive and gullible the female lead character was. I was annoyed and angry with her for half the book, and not to mention, her willingness to overlook the obvious. Some of the moments of, “doesn’t she get it yet,” made me want to yell at her to stop being s...more
Awilk -will work for books-
This was my first Karen Robards novel. I will write this quick review and go and order some more. I liked almost everything about this book. The characters were interesting, and I found the hero Jason to be a bit different, which was a nice change. Mick (Micayla) was a well thought out character, but I can't call her a heroine as such, as I found her to be too independent and strong, not to be more like a leading lady in my mind.(Hope that makes sense.)
The side characters of Jelly and Tina also...more

** Sleepwalker by Karen Robards was provided to me free-of-charge by Simon & Schuster, Inc. through a GoodReads, FirstReads Giveaway. **

Karen Robards pumps out a rocking thrilling ride with Sleepwalker. The story centres on two main characters, Micayla “Mick” Lange, a tough-as-nails female cop in Detroit, Michigan and Jason Davies, a mysterious thief who encounters Mick when breaking into her Uncle Nicco’s mansion. The pair become unlikely allies when they stumble upon incriminating photos i...more

Sleepwalker is a non-stop, thrilling, fast-paced, rollercoaster ride of a novel. Full of tension, action and even a little passion. It’s even quite humorous at times. This cat and mouse chase story keeps the reader turning the pages as it really doesn’t let up. With it’s twists and turns, you really won’t want to put it down!

Mick is a cop through-and-through and so going on the run with Jason the thief goes against her very nature, but she has no other choice. The romantic suspense and tension b...more

There are so many authors out there that one simply cannot keep up with them all, so finding a book in my TBR pile from an author I’d never read before seemed like an easy way to start this month’s TBR CHallenge.

And it was. Karen Robards has been writing romance for almost as long as I’ve been alive, but somehow I’ve never actually read one of her books. I must have gotten curious at some point because I had her 2012 thriller, Sleepwalker sitting in my stacks of TBR books. Robards’ chase across...more

This book has action from the first page to the final page. Jason, thief/hunk tangles with beauty/cop and their banter back and forth is enjoyable. Never a break in the action, even their attraction to each other can't be acted on. Too much happening! Usually with a romantic suspense novel, you have a high-paced thriller, with a little down time in the middle for the main characters to "get to know each other". I enjoyed this book very much and would recommend to readers who enjoy "suspense with...more

Micayla Lange is a police officer who is housesitting for her "uncle" Nicco when she runs into a thief stealing money but also some incriminating pictures of that same uncle, which would appear to place him at a murder scene. Because of the pictures, Micayla (Mitch) is aware that her life is in danger, as is the thief's. Together they make a break for it when Nicco's security men suddenly appear on the scene. From there the chemistry between Mitch and Jason, the thief, makes things very interest...more
Michelle (tinyturtle88)
This book wasn't at all what I thought it was going to be. Based on the synopsis, I thought I would get more of an action/thriller/murder mystery content. It ended up being a slightly different version of the 'Bounty Hunter'/'One for the Money' type plot. She's a cop-he's a bad guy-they have a lot of chemistry-but both are stubborn-so they just fight a lot while other people are after them so it pulls them together...etc. Although I enjoy those plots, I usually enjoy it more when I choose them o...more

Basically, this one was pretty good, but it stretched the bounds of believability is some places. Mick, short for Micayla, is a cop. Her father is a cop, yet his best friend "Uncle" Nicco is a criminal of longstanding. Her father knows this and has even helped Nicco out on occasion in "small" ways. Yet, Mick, never believes the "rumors" about Uncle Nicco. So she is housesitting for Uncle Nicco on New Year's Eve when Nicco's house is burglarized and when Mick tries to arrest the burglars, she end...more

This particular book, was overall average....there wasn't anything that made me go "wow".....
Mick Lange and Jason Davis are your everyday characters thrown together to make the perfect couple in the story....Mick is your tough, pretty girl cop and Jason is the tough good-looking sexy guy.....I wasn't impressed....

I focused on the story line instead....There was action from the beginning...there was murder, lots of running from the cops....some relaxing in the Grand Cayman Islands, and a gun batt...more
