About the author

I was raised in Alabama, so I know we Southerners don't hide our crazy people—we showcase them. Eccentric people make for the best stories, and we Southerners do love our stories. The need to tell stories has been a driving force in my life from childhood.

As a girl, my favorite books were mysteries and romances. When I realized there were books that featured both romance and mystery, I knew I'd found my calling. Now I get to play both matchmaker and murderer and get paid for it. Could there be a better job anywhere?

A little more romance won't do any harm😕

It was okay
But somewhere something was missing 😒

Had high hopes but this needs an edit & beta read.

"Worst nightmare I ever had was after a double pepperoni pizza," he told Remy with a grin. "Dreamed librarians armed with machetes were chasing me through a maze."
"Librarians?" Maggie asked. Jack's eyes crinkled at the corners.
"I had overdue books."
Remy chuckled. "Man, I could see Mrs. Carpelli with a machete—she don't put up with no sh—"
"Remy," Maggie warned.

I just finished Code Name Willow the other day, and it was a very enjoyable read. I love the cinematic quality of this book it reads like you are watching a great suspense movie. Paula Graves crafts a book that has believable characters in a well written and tight plot.

The story kept me interested enough to want to know what happened next, and there were enough twists and turns to maintain suspense. However, some of the characters' actions weren't very plausible, and I noticed some editing problems--wrong words, such as read for red, and some missing words.

Passable thriller

[Mojca · Rating 2 out of 5]

This would’ve been a pretty good story if it wasn’t for the heroine and her “baggage”. I wasn’t in the mood for a baggage-filled heroine yesterday. So not in the mood.

This book was just ok for me. Kinda slow moving and I found nothing new or exciting.
