About the author
Lisa Jackson
273 books9,675 followersLisa Jackson is the number-one New York Times bestselling author of over ninety-five novels, including the Rick Bentz and Reuben Montoya Series, the Pescoli and Alvarez Series, the Savannah series, and numerous stand alone novels. She also is the co-author of One Last Breath, Last Girl Standing, and the Colony Series, written with her sister and bestselling author Nancy Bush, as well as the collaborative novels Sinister and Ominous, written with Nancy Bush and Rosalind Noonan. There are over thirty million copies of her novels in print and her writing has been translated into twenty languages.
Before she became a nationally bestselling author, she was a mother struggling to keep food on the table by writing novels, hoping against hope that someone would pay her for them. Today, neck deep in murder, her books appear on The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly national bestseller lists.
With dozens of bestsellers to her name, Lisa Jackson is a master of taking readers to the edge of sanity—and back—in novels that buzz with dangerous secrets and deadly passions. She continues to be fascinated by the minds and motives of both her killers and their pursuers—the personal, the professional, and the downright twisted. As she builds the puzzle of relationships, actions, clues, lies, and personal histories that haunt her protagonists, she must also confront the fear and terror faced by her victims and the harsh and enduring truth that, in the real world, terror and madness touch far too many lives and families.

Too much sex.
Three page paragraphs describing each sex interaction.
I have read many of Lisa Jacksons mysteries & enjoyed them much more.

I’m fascinated by my ongoing shift away from romance novels; I’m reading fewer of them, deleting more of them from my TBR hard drive, downloading fewer of them, and enjoying less the ones I do read.
I think of Lisa Jackson as a romance writer who includes enough mystery in her books to make them interesting and readable. This one felt like it was mostly romance with a mystery afterthought.
Becca Peters is single-handedly trying to keep a horseracing venture alive. She is a California-based trainer whose reputation was tainted by the death of a horse and the discovery of illegal drugs in the horse’s blood. In a desperation move calculated to preserve her farm until she can raise another successful horse, she borrows money from oil magnate Jason Chambers. Jason is the father of Brig Chambers, the one man who truly got to Becca years earlier and moved on leaving her broken inside.
When she gets word that Jason Chambers was killed in a plane crash, she realizes that she owes money to his son, assuming the son didn’t die on the plane, too.
I found myself skipping the far-too-frequent and detailed sexual descriptions here. It is a mute testimonial to the durability of my skip-forward button on my book player that it survived that book.
Teri Clark Linden’s narration was impressive, even seductive in places. I suspect there are other books in this series, but I’ll leave it to others to write those reviews.

Book five in the Lisa Jackson challenge and the next book in the J challenge is not about a farting Romanian nomad as you may have thought from the title, but rather it is the name of a horse and it is a lame romance, where every character is paper thin and the romance stretches credulity.
Apparently to have a happy lasting relationship with someone you need to
a) have np other friends you keep in touch with and
b) really dislike someone when you first meet them before you suddenly start going crazy over them.
The plot device with the horses was pretty weak, and really just a set up for the whole romance bit.
Weak, very weak.

* this is a review the second half of jackson’s new “novel,” which deceptively was just two of the author’s early works (seriously… they were written in the 80s) slapped together with a new cover and marketed as her latest release* having read some of this author’s contemporary works, i can only imagine that this is what books were like in the 80s - melodramatic, heavily gender-stereotyped, florid language. in short… horrible.

Liked this book I believe that it could have been better with a different narrator.

Horse story and love story combined. I liked it and the mystery about who gave the horse drugs and why.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Gypsy Winds by Lisa Jackson
Becca stared at the news cast of the plane that had crashed with no survivors.
Jason Chambers-oil magnate was dead.
She is a horse breeder and was almost destroyed by Brig Chambers.
She goes to see him after the funeral is over and done with and ends up confessing to him about the horse and money and the deal she made with his father.
There is so confusion as to the horse race that ended the racing life of the horses mother and there were drugs involved.
They have it out and is wondering if they can go back to the love they have for one another.
Her brother Dean had come to her aid and brought her back to wanting to live back then.
Becca heads back home to try to find out who was behind the mystery of that he had called-she never got the messages, the drugs given to the horse, missing checks and a housekeeper that had suddenly disappeared.
