In Safe Hands

"Linda Conrad saved the best for last with IN SAFE HANDS. The entire series has kept me completely captivated and anxiously awaiting the next book to see what will happen to the three Ryan siblings. IN SAFE HANDS brings this series to a conclusion that left me feeling completely satisfied and a bit sad to see it end. Watching Colin struggle with his feeling for Maggie because of things he learned in his childhood yet wanting to believe that just maybe they could be different was heartbreaking and bittersweet. In all three stories Maggie is strong, loving and so full of life you can't help but love her and all those characters shine through in her story making THE SAFE KEEPERS: IN SAFE HANDS one of the best stories I have read in a very long time."
Dina Smith, reviewer, RomanceJunkies.com   5 Blue Ribbons

Sandra Garcia-Myers,  RomanticTimes BookReviews  4 ½ stars Top Pick!


"Another terrific story in the Safekeepers series; they just get better and better. Linda Conrad just keeps outdoing herself creating each new story, completely unique and full of excitement. Her love scenes are scorching hot and graphic enough to excite any reader. I have found her to be extremely gifted with words and able to create exciting characters. The only fault is the story ends way too soon!"
Kay Quintin, reviewer, FreshFiction.com


"Ms. Conrad has outdone herself when it comes to the love scenes between Colin and Maggie, as they are overflowing with fervency yet reveal the sincerity behind each touch and caring word. The Safekeepers series concludes its stories about the Ryan family in a very rewarding way, as questions are answered and desires are met. IN SAFE HANDS is an adventure of the heart, and every spellbinding word will mesmerize readers and make you truly believe in this world."

Linda Conrad is amazingly original in her plots and can also put together an extremely hot, sexual reading experience. Ashley will steal your heart even though it's devastating to learn all that is asked of a child star. I loved this book without a smidgeon of disappointment. Don't start reading until you have time to finish it! Enchanting touch of witchery! I can't wait for the rest of this series."
Kay Quintin, reviewer for FreshFiction.com


"The action in SAFE BY HIS SIDE starts right away and doesn't stop until the very end. The characters are well thought out and blend together nicely. The underlying story that involves Ethan is fascinating. Linda Conrad can weave amazing tales with her imagination. This is the second book in THE SAFEKEEPERS SERIES. It does well by itself but you will certainly be running for the first book. As always, Linda Conrad is exceptional at her craft!"
Tami Sutton, The BEST REVIEWS

The Sheriff's Amnesiac Bride

"The Sheriff’s Amnesiac Bride is a wonderful addition to The Coltons: Family First.  The story has the familiar amnesia plot, but with a writer as sure-handed as Linda Conrad, it’s a real treat.  Jericho and Rosie are fabulous, but what’s most emphatic are the different meanings and importance of family." 
Sandra Garcia-Myers, Romantic Times Bookreviews 4 ½ stars!


"The Coltons: Family First miniseries continues with another rousing story to grab the heart of the reader with its constantly emotive moments. Linda Conrad has created an unforgettable romance using a well-known theme, while her imagination takes this story in new and satisfying directions. Linda Conrad has a way with words, and this talented author knows exactly how to use them and make any story memorable. Whether it is frightening scenarios or reactions with realistic feelings, there is never an instant in THE SHERIFF’S AMNESIAC BRIDE which does not come across as conceivable. Although the amnesia storyline is often The Sheriff's Amnesiac Brideused, there are numerous fresh ideas used in this book, and the continuing mystery surrounding the heroine is expertly revealed through often shocking disclosures. This is definitely one of those books which cannotbe put down once started, as I became totally immersed in the lives of Jericho and Rosie." 
Amelia Richard, cataromance.com, 5 stars!


"Ever since I first started reading Linda Conrad (about halfway through her Night Guardians series I "discovered" her) I have been an avid fan and eagerly anticipate each new book she releases. I was a little curious what I’d think of this one since it is from a continuity series I hadn’t read before. Happily, Linda’s voice shines through and I found everything I’ve come to expect from one of her novels. We have strong characters with hearts of gold, riveting action and suspense, and highly emotional relationships between characters.
Linda Conrad successful takes multiple plot devices (marriage of convenience, secret baby, and amnesia victim) and combines them in such a way that they become a compelling page turner of a romantic suspense novel with The Sheriff’s Amnesiac Bride. Action starts on the very first page and doesn’t quit until the final showdown. I liked the fact that we readers also aren’t quite sure why the villains are after Rosie since she cannot recall the reason. We know she has something they will kill to recover yet we have no idea what that mysterious item is. As the story unfolds and flashes of memory return to Rosie, we have to put the pieces together at the same time she does.
Upon finishing Linda’s addition, The Sheriff’s Amnesiac Bride, to the Colton’s Family First series I had to go back and order the preceding books in the series to find out more about the citizens of Esperanza, Texas. I also look forward to the remaining books in the miniseries."
Kelley A. Hartsell, Ck2S Kwips and Kritiques


"As usual, Linda Conrad has written an exciting and suspenseful love story to add to The Coltons series. Her characters are warm and colorful. Rosie and Jericho are portrayed as normal people caught up in surreal circumstances with excitement and true love thrown in. The storyline is terrific and it's really hard to put the book down once you start it. I'm waiting in line for the next book in the Colton miniseries.

Safe With a Stranger

"Safe with a Stranger by Linda Conrad has just the right blend of strong characters, pulse-pounding suspense, tortured hero, cruel villains, and a little bit of witchcraft to be a winning combination. This book completely stands on its own yet it also sets the tone for the following books with its ominous feel and hints towards the shadowy underlying story. Safe with a Stranger is also about redemption and characters saving their souls from past dark mistakes, real or imagined." 
Kelley A. Hartsell, Ck2S Kwips and Kritiques


"Any book by Linda Conrad will be filled with dynamic characters whose passionate natures surface during their compellingly engaging story. With innovative plus entertaining plots, this gifted author knows how to draw one into the lives of her appealing characters by keeping the fascination strong throughout the book. In the first installment of The Safekeepers series, Ms. Conrad takes a rather familiar scenario and thenmakes the whole premise totally fascinating with the addition of a clever paranormal element…Although all hope seems lost at times during the story, numerous turns keep a small flame of optimism burning. The intimacy between Clare and Josh is exceedingly potent with passion yet also shown with genuine sincerity and affection. With suspenseful and sexual tension interwoven with just enough magic to be believable, SAFE WITH A STRANGER is an intriguing and emotive story." 
Amelia Richard, Cataromance.com  5 stars


Safe With a Stranger"SAFE WITH A STRANGER is the first book in a brand new series by author Linda Conrad called the Safekeepers. Linda says this series focus's on the strength's of a woman and this story does that in abundance, but don't sell the men in this series short. Josh is fighting some demons of his own in this story but it is his love for Clare that gives him the strength to face them. SAFE WITH A STRANGER is a fast paced, heart stopping, emotional romance that kept me turning page after page until before I knew it I had read the entire book. Once again Linda Conrad's true talent shines through and I will be anxiously awaiting the next installment in this suspenseful new series." 
Dina Smith, RomanceJunkies.com


"Well written with romantic tension, SAFE WITH A STRANGER is a story with a little of everything –romance, suspense and little witchcraft.  It is the first in a new Safe Keeper series by Ms. Conrad, which will be followed by Ethan’s story SAFE BY HIS SIDE.  It is a series you won’t want to miss. 
Marilyn Heyman, Romance Reviews Today


"Essentially this is a book about reconciliation of one’s past with present reality, at least for Josh, and the growing affection between Clare and Josh.  This is an exceptionally good category romance with lots of depth and an interesting plotline.  As usual, Linda Conrad delivers up a satisfying story with a heavy dose of romance and several dashes of intrigue.  The first in her Safekeepers miniseries we are sure to anticipate more about Josh’s fascinating family.  A good one for the beach!"
Jeri Neal, The Romance Readers Connection, 4 plugs


"SAFE WITH A STRANGER is the first book in a new series by Linda Conrad. This is one author who is consist with excellent characters and edge of your seat situations. She has a way with the pen and it always shows."   Tami Sutton, The Best Reviews
"I loved reading Linda Conrad's SAFE WITH A STRANGER, the first book in her new Safekeeper series. It's extremely interesting and filled with believable characters caught up in difficult circumstances. Some very explicit love scenes are included, but presented in good taste. I enjoyed all the suspense along with the special "gifts" of the Delgado family."  
Fresh Fiction.com


"The Safekeepers trilogy has an interesting witchcraft twist, and the key characters are wonderfully complex. Linda Conrad says her focus here is on what it is to be a woman, but if Safe With a Stranger (4.5) is any indication; the men certainly don't get shortchanged!"

Shadow Whispers

"A well written tale with Navajo mythology, magic and romance, making SHADOW WHISPERS another book to not miss in this series. This may be the best one yet."

Kelley A. Hartsell, Ck2S Kwips and Kritiques 4 1/2 clovers


"Rich with emotion and brimming with memorable characters, SHADOW WHISPERS is a romantic adventure of the spirit and the heart... Sadly this is the sixth and final book in the ground-breaking Night Guardians miniseries, where each storyline has been innovatively original. For the very last book, the always creative Linda Conrad delivers another winning story with a particularly satisfying conclusion."
Amelia Richards, cataromance.com 5 stars


"SHADOW WHISPERS brings the Night Guardian series to a dramatic conclusion that left this reviewer in awe. Cisco is one of the hottest heroes I have ever read about and Sunnie is the perfect heroine for him. This story has so many twists and turns it kept me hanging on the edge the entire way through. As much as I am going to miss the Brotherhood series, Linda Conrad couldn't have done a better job bringing this series to a mind-blowing conclusion."
Dina Smith, reviewer, RomanceJunkies.com 5 blue ribbons


"With action and danger with them every step of the way, Sunnie and Cisco lay their lives on the line for each other an those around them. SHADOW WHISPERS is the final book in Linda Conrad's Night Guardian series. I am sorry to see it end as I am sure many others are. it touched on a multitude of genres to appeal to all romance readers. The ending was spectacular and kept me guessing to the end! The book stands alone quite well, but, if you haven't read the other books, now is the time to get them. You won't be disappointed!"
