The only reason I bought this book is because it was 99 cents and I figured I would take a chance. So glad I took the chance. This book was great. I highly recommend.

Material Witness by L.A. Mondello
Cassie Alvarez writes crime novels but suddenly she feels like a character in one of her own books. She went to Rory’s bar dressed as a hooker to research how her character would think. While talking to the hunky rough and tough guy, gun fire erupts, she becomes an eyewitness and her world turns upside down. Deja vu from eight years earlier all over again.
Detective Jake Santos is undercover but it seems the meeting he planned won’t be happening tonight at Rory’s. But he can rescue the woman who obviously is going to get herself in trouble looking like she does. Only it seems she is the one who rescues him. Jake and Cassie soon find out there is no where to run, nowhere to hide and no one but each other to trust.
I found this to be the type of book I didn’t want to put down. Full of danger and adventure around each turn, not knowing who the good or bad guys were. And in the midst of all the chaos….love blooms. It was uniquely written as Cassie becomes more like her strong heroine, CJ, and the real world becomes like her stories. The author did a fantastic job of keeping the reader guessing who the villains were until the very end. To read more on the characters in this book you can read Yuletide Protector by Lisa Mondello, by Love Inspired.

This book although story was good, characters were weak. Jake should of figured out who was after them. To much talk about their feelings.

A very good book. Good mix of suspence and love. It doesnt have a lot of sex in it, which is a good thing. I would to see more suspence in her books, the others I have preview seem to be more love oriented than I like. I go more for the mystery/ suspence type books. But this book is worth reading. It is interesting all the way. Makes you not want it to end.

My Review:
I am a sucker for a good romantic suspense book and this one was definitely a good one. I think one of the things that makes this book so good is the fact that Cassie is an author. In fact, that's how she ends up in this mess. She's dressed as a hooker in a sleazy bar looking for research for her latest crime novel, but she gets much more than she expects.
Jake is a cop. He's in the bar meeting one of his informants who doesn't show. Instead he finds Cassie and quickly realizes that she's not actually a hooker. He's just trying to figure out what she's up to and get her out of the bar safely when the place is sprayed with gunfire. Cassie reacts in a split second when she sees the gun and is actually the one who saves Jake. At issue, she saw the shooter and now the FBI wants her as her material witness in the murder of their undercover agent who was also in the bar.
It quickly becomes apparent that there is more at play here when Cassie's author pseudonym is leaked to the press. She doesn't trust anyone else, but Jake and insists that he helps in the protection of her.
There are a lot of interesting sub-plots happening here within the police department and the FBI. I NEVER figured out who was the bad-guy in it all and was really surprised on who the leak had been. I love suspense lines that keep me guessing. The fact that this was a hero/heroine combo that I loved helped in this book too. Cassie sees herself as a wimp, although she does try to emulate the gutsy, kick-butt attitude of her heroine C.J. Personally, I thought she was awesome...definitely kick-butt, but real enough and scared enough to be real. Jake was awesome. So sweet and sexy. *gah* I loved it when he finally gave in to how much he cared for Cassie....such a *sigh* moment. I loved his character and the fact that he has five older sisters.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was a GREAT read!

Really good read, thoroughly enjoyed it!

A good story line that is negated by a redundant & plodding romance.
|
|
Exciting page turner. One of my favorites.

Witness
A wonderful story about a suspense writer at the wrong bar at the wrong time. He's suppose to meet his informant. She is people watching for as new novel. What happens next makes for as wonderful book.

Liked it.

|
DISAPPOINTING!
|
|
The author kept story line moving forward at a good pace. And there were plenty of characters that could have been "the inside link" so it kept me changing my mind on who it up up until the end.
|
|
Cassie and Jake fall in love despite dangers facing them from outside and within the law. The risks they both take kept me engrossed, I could not put this book down!
|
|
Mondello will have you up all night trying to divulge who the villain is. Within each page you would think you figured out the what's and who's until the shocking end.
|
|
How can someone fall "deeply and completely in love" in 2 days? I was hoping for more substance in the story plot. It must not be my genre. Boring.

It had a good story line but the way it was delivered did not hold my interest. Too much of the chatacters going on and om with their own thoughts.

I truly enjoyed reading this one, loved the flow of the book. I loved the characters and it had me hooked from the beginning of the book to the very end of the book. I loved the mystery and romance of the book.
