Loved it!!

This is my first book by this author and I couldn't put it down. I especially liked Diaz - talk about your strong silent type! Yum!

This is one of her best

This is one of the best she's written since after she wrote Kill and Tell. This story grabbed me from the first chapter. It made me angry, it made me cry. It made me go kiss all my own kids and say a prayer for all that I have. I totally forgot that this was fantasy while reading this work. This author is sensational. This book is why she is my favorite. She did not disappoint.

My first Linda Howard... definitely not my last

The first chapter of Cry No More sets the stage for what will eventually be a heartwrenching tale. When readers meet the heroine, Milla Boone, she is living in Mexico with her husband, a surgeon who is there on sabbatical with a group of American doctors. Milla is taking care of her six-week-old son when he is taken from her, while she's left to fight for her life. For the next decade, Milla is consumed with finding her missing child. She spearheads a group called Finders, which is dedicated to finding missing persons. All the while her lost child is at the forefront of her mind. Milla will do anything to find him, and the peace of mind that she feels his return might bring.

Cry No More has all the makings of a tearjerker, and was deliciously fulfilling and well written. But I didn't cry. I came close once. But for me the story was more enjoyable and engrossing than emotional. I rooted for Milla, for her quest for answers, for her to find her son, for her to be able to move on with her life, but I didn't pity her or empathize with her. She seemed to strong and solid for that. As a character, I don't think she'd want my pity--or my tears for that matter. Or maybe I'm just made of sterner stuff than the typical romance reader. Regardless, Cry No More will take you on a journey that is both enjoyable and difficult to turn away from. Read it when you've got a long weekend ahead of you to become engrossed in the story.

Left Hanging

The ending of the book just left the reader hanging. After so much emotion, there should have been a more sold conclusion. Did they get married? Did they have children? What did they do for employment? I wanted to know. After I have invested time in a book, I want a complete story. I also wanted to know more about the villians. Their capture was just sort of passed off as an aside.

There were some things in the book that annoyed me. Millia kept doing impulsive things which could have gotten her killed. How did she survive this long anyway. Diez was the one who made it all happen for her, then she hates him. The action which separated them didn't make sense either.

An epilogue was badly needed. I felt cheated after investing so much emotion in the book.
