“A Suspenseful Rush!”
Tijan grew up feeling
someone was missing from her life. A sister, but was she a figment of her imagination?
Her mother says her sister died when she was a child, but there is that
feeling, and then she sees a picture in the newspaper of a wedding, and a hand
is in view; that hand shows a birthmark, a matching birthmark that is also on
Tijan. Is her sister, Tarin, still alive? She decides to go to Toronto and find
out, but things happen too quickly and she’s thrown into several dangerous
situations. She is kidnapped a couple of times, and people she meets think
she’s her twin sister. Then a secret trip to the Caspian winery and she sees Tarin,
but is too shocked to speak, and runs off instead. Now she discovers her
father, whom she’d always suspected was dead, running a giant hotel chain, and
working with a Mafia gangster to obtain Caspian winery. Gangsters and Canadian
government officials want Tarin, and mistake Tijan for her twin, and things get
even more complicated.
My apologies to the
author, it’s been three years since I read the previous book in this
fascinating series, and unfortunately my memory isn’t too good any more. I had
trouble remembering the characters and what happened in the first two stories,
so it took me a bit longer to get back into the swing of the series. However,
the new characters not only grabbed my interest but it brought me quickly into
the current plot, and names and incidents began coming back. Once I was pulled
into the story, I was there for keeps, and I wasn’t disappointed. “Split
Seconds” continues the series in a highly suspenseful rush of adrenalin. And
did I mention the romantic angle? I hope the next book isn’t long in coming.
For lovers of suspense thrillers don’t miss this latest light romantic mystery
involving danger and intrigue.

Thank you for the wonderful review Tom. I'm so glad you found it to be a "suspense rush!" I truly appreciate your reading all of my novels and especially this one, Split Seconds. And helping me with getting the word out about my new novel. You are a true gem.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Maggie. I was hoping to post the review on Amazon, etc., but they won't let me until July 20th. I did send it to the magazine I write for, so that's done. I've posted it on all the FB Promotion Groups I belong to, so that's also done. Remind me when it has been released, and I'll post it on Amazon, GoodReads, etc.
