A SHOT IN THE DARK
BY
JENNIFER BURROWS
Title: A Shot In The Dark
Author: Jennifer Burrows
Publisher: Black Rose Writing
Number of Pages: 253
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Most of the patients that are brought to the trauma bay in the ER remain nameless, and for the most part, faceless. For Laney Pearson and the rest of the staff, this makes it easier to move past the senseless death and destruction that they see on an almost daily basis. But all of that changes for Laney when she finds herself trying to pump the life back into a young motorcycle rider who arrives by helicopter more dead than alive.
Skyler Smith has all the makings of the next great motocross rider, right up until he crashes while trying to perform the trick that will secure his future. From the time his motionless body is lifted off the track, the question becomes not when his next race takes place, but whether he will live to see another day. And now there is mounting evidence that the tragedy was no accident
Laney can never envision this boy’s crash and the ensuing investigation will have such an impact on her own life, but in the days that follow, she discovers a life within her she never knew existed. While the police sort through the mounting evidence from the crash, Laney has to sort through her own feelings for the handsome trauma surgeon that she previously never gave a second thought. Is he really as charming as he seems, or is there another reality hiding beneath the surface? And just how long has he been watching her?

Praise for A Shot In The Dark:
It’s hard for me to believe this is Jennifer Burrows’ first book because she is clearly a talented author who (hopefully) has many more stories up her sleeve! The main character is so down-to-earth and her stories are so exciting, I could see the author writing several more successful books in this same genre. - Amazon review
I really enjoyed this book. I actually read it in less than 3 days, mostly at night an didn’t want to put it down. I though the whole book was great but really loved the ending. I too am looking forward to the next book. Keep them coming! - Amazon review
You will definitely want to have plenty of allotted reading time before starting this one. It was hard to put down. I was so engrossed in the story that I put off many of my important things to do. Jennifer Burrows does a great job of creating a Thriller that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. I was anticipating each thing, yet surprised the whole way through. And then its not just a Thriller, but there is a Romantic element which helps lighten the mood. I think the Romance was believable and unfolded smoothly which is always important. I don’t like when Romances seem forced, this one seemed natural. Great not only Romantic Thriller but Thriller in general. My Reading Addiction

GUEST POST
Ten Favorite Authors and Why
I like a variety of genres.
But here are ten of my favorite authors in no particular order:
1 1. Dan
Brown: I feel like I get an art history
lesson every time I read one of his books.
I’m not particularly a fan of art history. But somehow, Dan Brown makes me not only
enjoy it but I want to learn more about what he’s referencing.
2 2. Bill O’Riley: As controversial as he may be, I
find his books informative and thought provoking. I can’t wait to read Killing Lincoln.
3 3. Jamie McGuire:
Who doesn’t love Beautiful Disaster?
I felt like I was right there with Travis and Pidge. I felt so many different emotions when
reading the book. And, who doesn’t love
a bad boy like Travis?
4 4. Samantha Young:
I just love her writing style. I
love her references to Scotland and how she builds her characters. She always has a female who has had some
trauma in her life and works hard to have a normal life and eventually fall in
love. Who doesn’t love a good love
story?
5 5. C.M. Stunich:
I just read the Hard Rock Serious.
Needless to say, I can’t wait for the third one to come out. These rockers are hard core dirty. At times, they are just so disgusting. I have to admire anyone who can make me fall
in love with characters that are so filthy they are hot!
6 6. Tarryn Fisher: Her Love me with Lies serious was
very messed up. I kept finding myself
shocked and it was unpredictable. I love
a book in which I’m not going to figure out the ending. And she definitely captured my attention
through the entire three book series.
7 7. Tiffany Reisz: The Original Sinners serious is
like nothing I’ve ever read before. She
develops her characters so well and the sex scenes are so well done. I’ve read the first four books and I’m
looking forward to the fifth. She is
definitely someone I’m going to continue to follow.
8 8. Kylie Scott: I recently read Lick. And again, I’ve never been into the rock star
books. But, something about her
characters made me want to keep reading her book. And, I’m glad I did. It was one of the very few books I’ve read
that makes me keep thinking about it for days after I read it. I keep hoping to stumble onto something
similar.
9 9. Stieg Larsson: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
series. The books reminded me a little
bit of Dan Brown’s writing but without all of the art history. I loved how he kept me guessing throughout
the entire series. It was suspenseful,
had just the right amount of love scenes, and it made me feel like an
intelligent reader.
1 10.Gillian Flynn: Gone girl was seriously a messed
up story. It’s one of those books where
when you finished all you can say is WOW!
