This week, Susie Black’s Saturday Author Spotlight shines on prolific romantic thriller author Susan Vaughn.
About the author in her own words: “I wanted to write as soon as I learned to read. I dabbled with stories and poems for years, but didn’t start writing seriously until years later. My favorite books have always been mysteries and romances, so the mix was a natural fit. My stories throw the hero and heroine together under extraordinary circumstances and pit them against a clever villain. I am a West Virginia native, but I have lived on the coast of Maine for many years.
My
romantic thrillers span four series: Task Force Eagle, Obsession Two-Book Set,
The DARK Files, Devlin Security. My books have been an RT Magazine Reviewer’s
Choice nominee and a Daphne du Maurier Award finalist. Reviewers have called my
books fast-paced, thrilling, action-packed, sizzling, and highly emotional. Also,
look for my two children’s picture storybooks, SLEIGH MAGIC and STOWAWAYS: A
MAINE PIRATE TALE.”
With 174 reviews, Twice a Target (Task Force Eagle Book 4) is one of Susan’s most popular books. Here is a blurb to whet your appetite:
Disaster strikes DEA Agent Holt Donovan twice, when a gunfight ruins his mission, and a car crash kills his brother and sister-in-law. Home on the Colorado ranch to raise his infant nephew, Holt hires a nanny—Maddy McCoy, the woman who once jilted his brother. The world-traveling photographer never expected to return to Colorado, the only real home she ever had, and to the man she never forgot. Burned out from covering too many starving children and refugees and short on funds, Maddy agrees, vowing to keep her heart safe. What neither of them knows is that by bringing her into his home, Holt has placed her in the crosshairs of a killer. As Holt and Maddy cope with their desire for each other and the resentments of the past, their investigation into the brother’s death leads them into escalating danger and a shocking discovery.
Here is what readers have to say about Twice a Target:
EVJ: Rocky: “Mountain Romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. From the beginning, there was great sexual tension and a mystery I cared about, but things really took off in the second half. Holt was the perfect blend of tough, sexy cowboy twisted up by his emotions. Maggie was kind, but realistic. Both of them with the baby were heart-melting. Action, danger, teamwork, and physical attraction. A fantastic read.”
V. Ardito: “A page-turner. Lots of tense moments, some humor, and a satisfying romance make this a must-read for any romantic suspense fan.”
Mary Morris: “A fantastic read. Ms. Vaughan is a favorite author, and she didn’t disappoint. I loved Holt and Maddy’s book. I really enjoyed the plot and the characters. It has ever-present danger, suspense, and hot romance. I highly recommend Twice A Target, as well as all the previous Task Force Eagle books.”
Crystal Lanham: “Susan Vaughan did a great job on this book. There is plenty of mystery and intrigue, more than enough to keep a reader hooked. The storyline flows smoothly, making the book very hard to put down. The characters are fantastic... I’ve found you rarely go wrong with a Holt in a book. The book is fantastic. Can’t wait to see Vaughan’s next works!”
Sylvia: “Susan Vaughn has done it again. She really does an excellent job of her stories and drawing you into her world. They are the perfect read for a cold winter night and will have you turning page after page, not wanting to put the book down. You need to pick up this book. It is really well done.”
Elizabeth Bridges: “It was a great quick escape read with a good supporting cast that kept you guessing to the end. The author made the emotions believable, as they could be in real life. Look forward to reading the other books in the series. I will be adding to my author list.”
