I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review
For All to See is a romantic suspense that takes place on the lovely Caribbean island of Tortola. Descriptions of the scenery alone are enough to draw the reader into the story. Add in a despicable killer and two scarred individuals and it makes for a compelling read.
Madelyn suffered not only physical but mental abuse to the point that she no longer trusts anyone. Honestly I was blown away with how quickly she opened up to roma ...more

Thereview was first up on For The Love of Fictional Worlds as part of the Blog Tour orgnaised by Xpresso Book Tours.
It's been awhile again since I have read a good Romantic Suspense novel so when the opportunity turned up to review a book that by all means was a romantic suspense - I was totally over it! :D

Romance triumphs over mystery in this book as we get to see more of how the protagonists came to connect with each other than the little nuances that may lead to the Field Dresser. When it comes to mystery, it's the little details that pique the interest of readers as they try to connect them piece by piece before they reach the big reveal.

3.5 to be exact. Megan Mitcham is a new author to me. However, I will be reading more of her books. I like an author who doesn’t “tell” me the story, but rather “shows” me the scenes and lets me put it together myself. For All to See is filled with intrigue and mystery. It’s a fast-paced novel that will keep you reading. Set in the British Virgin Islands, you not only get a good story, but you get a fantastic setting.

Another book that I wondered if I was reading the same book as other reviewers. I really didn't like it that much. I didn't like the characters, not as individuals, and especially not as a couple. The plot wasn't all that suspenseful or exciting either. At least I won't feel like I have to read the other book in the series!

Megan has done it again...
I'm a huge fan of her BASE BRANCH series, and was excited to see this new venture of hers. If you couldn't tell in the previous series, Megan does suspense well -- and that certainly carried through into this new Bureau series.

Romantic suspenseful horror 4.5

Holy Cow! This was an awesome suspenseful and horrific read with a liberal splash of sexy thrown into it. Madelyn Garrett leads a very simple life, she’s active in her community but keeps to herself. She has a dark past that she doesn’t want to reveal and that’s why she keeps people at arms length. Then her whole world shatters one fine morning and peace and contentment is a thing of the past.

A real murder mystery full of intrigue, suspense and mounting tension. An unknown serial killer strikes on a remote island, FBI agents have figured out the next victim and need to protect her while trying to figure out who the killer is. Gosh what a ride! I was hooked from the first and working out myself just who the killer was, but that wasn't made easy the author kept me guessing for a while before I sussed it. All the elements I love in this type of story, enough twists and turns to keep it

Madelyn Garrett moved to the island of Tortola for the peaceful and tranquil life on it and it's not until her best friend goes missing that she discovers that her island paradise may not be much of one.

So far when I have picked up a novel from this author, I have come away very satisfied. With this one I was even more so than any of the other ones I have read from her. I do so love a good intrigue and in this one she delivers that with big time suspense and danger. It starts out innocently enough when you are introduced to Madelyn who is also a teacher out with her friend. While they are doing that you are introduced to Special Agent Nathan who is called in to further investigate a serial kill

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
When Madelyn's friend goes missing and then turns up, not just dead but brutally murdered, the FBI send Nathan it, since its highly likely this is a known serial killer that he's been after for the last three years. Its also highly likely, that Madelyn could be his next victim. Nathan will do anything to stop that happening.

I have fast become a fan of this author, Ms Megan Mitcham, who has the ability with descriptive words and unique phrases to capture the reader in a web of intrigue and suspense while creating such relatable characters that one has a hard time putting down the book and going about a mundane day.

I was given an ARC book for an honest review free of persuasion from the author or anyone else affiliated with this book.

This book was wonderful! It had suspense, romance, and a crime drama all rolled up in one. I enjoyed how the story unfolded as the pages turned.

Another great romantic suspense by Megan Mitcham! I stayed up half the night to finish it because I could not wait to find out how it all played out. Nathan and Madelyn's relationship progresses at a steady pace as they get to know each other. Neither one was prepared to find love, especially in the middle of a murder investigation, but it fit into the story nicely. The suspense element was written extremely well and kept me guessing as to who it could be. The description of the crimes committed

Madelyn escaped from her family to live on her own and grow. When her best friend disappears she wishes it's something a little less sinister but when the FBI shows up she's afraid of what could be. Special Agent Nathan has been chasing a killer for three years and knows that Madelyn's friend is the first and he's terrified that she's next. As a special agent he's working hard to protect Madelyn and track down the man responsible. But as they spend more and more time together their feelings grow

I received a copy through the Goodreads First Reads contests...
This is a new to me author and I absolutely loved the book! Can not wait for more in this series. It kept me turning pages until the very end!
I really liked the amount of strength the main character had, she was one tough cookie, but not without vulnerabilties, which made her relatable.
There's lots of little things that make you try and figure everything out, with just the right amount of romance and sexy in there too. I enjoyed it ...more

I was given a copy of For All to See from NetGalley for an honest review and this is my review.
I loved this book and can't wait to get my hands on the second one in the series. Nathan and Madelyn were very well matched and I really enjoyed how they fell for each other throughout the book. I also loved the mystery part of the book. It was very well written and it kept the reader on edge because you were not sure who he was or what he was going to do until the author was ready to tell all.

Wow
I loved reading this book. It was so refreshing to have a tightly written storyline with charismatic characters. This is the first time I have read this author but won't be the last. I highly recommend you do not begin it at bedtime. I couldn't put it down. Well worth the lost sleep. ...more

This was the first time reading a book by this author. If I could have just curled up in my chair, and shut out the world, I would have kept on reading this book until I was finished.
I found the plot line was developed nicely, andthe twists and turns were awesome.
And there was enough of a hint for the next book. Now, I need to find book two.....

At first I was a little frustrated at the author's over explanation of small details when setting the story. Though I soon forgot about it once the story was established.
