GOING
FOR BROKE, December 2007
The deck was stacked against him…
After taking the rap for a crime he didn’t commit, Jake Chandler swore he’d seen the last of his unforgiving Texas hometown. Until family business brings him back… face-to-face with his past in River Bluff. Face-to-face with Rachel Diamonte.
Rachel not only broke his heart, she was the lone witness whose so-called evidence fifteen years earlier had branded him a "barnburner". He’s never forgotten
—or forgiven—the woman who betrayed him.Except now the former homecoming queen is a single mother who needs help, and she has the nerve to ask him for a job. It could be Jake’s chance to make her pay for what she did…. So why does he find himself compelled to protect her and her little girl?
Texas Hold’em
When it comes to love, the stakes are high
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT GOING FOR BROKE:
"Risking it all has never been so difficult. Linda Style pens an emotional
story of second chances with GOING FOR BROKE. There are plenty of
realistic obstacles for the couple to overcome, the least of which is the
opinions and prejudice of the townspeople. The chemistry between them is
palpable and keeps the reader guessing when they will finally let down their
guards. The richly drawn characters and sense of place allowed this reader
to feel a part of small town River Bluff, Texas. GOING FOR BROKE is a
fine addition to the Texas Hold 'Em series and readers will welcome reunions
with characters from previous books. A lovely story to spend the afternoon
enjoying, I will recommend this to friends and family."

THE
MAN FROM TEXAS, September 2007
Jack Parker was just a kid when they locked his father away for murder. Raised by adoptive parents, he’s been searching for a sense of identity ever since—and a truth he can live with. And if that means ending his budding relationship with Taylor Dundee by implicating Taylor’s mother as the real killer, so be it.
When Jack’s investigation uncovers a shocking secret about her family, Taylor never wants to see the handsome man from Texas again. But unfortunately, she needs him to help her get to the bottom of her dead mother’s lies…and right so many old wrongs to so many people. Starting with Jack. And then she’ll have to find a way to tell him she’s carrying his child…
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE MAN FROM TEXAS:
Four stars!!! "Deep characterization and an
original plot make Linda Style's THE MAN FROM TEXAS a winner!"

HUSBAND
AND WIFE REUNION, July 2006
Luke's story
She's the last person Luke expected to see
Just why is Julianna staying at his father's ranch? Luke has come to Santa Fe to mend fences with his dad and lay low until the political fury over his current police investigation calms down. He's definitely not there to share memories of the good old days with his ex-wife.
It's difficult for Julianna to remember when it had been good between her and Luke. And being close to the strong, handsome man she once loved unconditionally is too much. Either Luke leaves or she does.
Except Julianna has nowhere to go. She needs to hide out at Abe's ranch to get her job done. Because nothing, not even anonymous death threats, will stop her. But if Luke finds out about the threats, he's never going to leave...
Love and Danger -- a lethal combination.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT HUSBAND AND WIFE REUNION:
"HUSBAND AND WIFE REUNION is a top-notch book that keeps the reader
engaged from the first page. The tension is evident throughout the
story and not just with the threats. Julianna and Luke spin some great
dialogue in the pages, not to mention the exhilarating emotions they share.
I cheered them on all the way through the book. Ms. Style creates a
sharp, tight read that does not let go until the last page, and then after
that, the characters still stay in the head. The way Julianna spoke of
the grief and the therapy was so real, so in-depth. Just imagining her
fright when she received the threats was absolutely spellbinding. Ms.
Style incorporates a great plot and well-written story that is extraordinary
in every way and deserves a 5 cups."
--Cherokee, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance
4 1/2 STARS! "Creative force Linda Style ends her dynamic Cold Cases: L.A.
series with a riveting story entitled HUSBAND AND WIFE REUNION.
...I felt the tension building and the urgency mounting with each revelation
until I finally read the last page and could close the book with a sigh of
satisfaction. Linda Style has done it again!"
-- Donna Zapf, CataRomance
FOUR STARS! A Riveting Story! "HUSBAND AND WIFE REUNION by Linda
Style is a riveting story with fresh plot appeal! The characters have
depth, and the serial killer story provides an interesting background for
the reconciliation of Julianna and Luke."

AND
JUSTICE FOR ALL, January 2006
She has to tell a lie.
But that still hasn't stopped Detective St. James from coming around and asking Laura questions about the murder of her ex-husband. He seemed to see right through her when she said she didn't know anything about the notorious madam, Anna Kolnikov either. What good would it do to admit the dead woman had helped Laura turn her life around? It wouldn't help her protect her daughter from the mob. In fact, the anonymous phone calls had started as soon as St. James first flashed her his badge. She'd have to find a way to lose him soon. Before his inexplicable obsession with Anna cost her everything.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT AND JUSTICE FOR ALL:
"Linda Style's novel, AND JUSTICE FOR ALL, is a gem of an
addition to the Cold Cases: L.A. mini series. Brilliantly creative,
Linda Style delivers an engrossing read of romance and suspense with strong
characters and a beguiling plot. The conclusion had me gasping in
surprise. AND JUSTICE FOR ALL is a stand-alone book, but don't
deprive yourself of the added enjoyment of reading the rest of the Cold
Cases: L.A. Thank you, Ms. Style, for your mesmerizing books."

HIS CASE, HER CHILD,
June 2005
Finalist for the Golden Quill Award!!
Sometimes a criminal gets away with it. This can't be one of those times.
He's a by-the-book detective determined to find his niece's stolen child. She's a youth advocate equally determined to protect the abandoned boy in her charge. Together, Rico Santini and Macy Capshaw form an uneasy alliance to investigate the child's past and in the process, unearth a black-market adoption ring at a shelter for unwed mothers. The same shelter where years earlier Macy had given birth to a stillborn son. At least that's what she was told...
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT HIS CASE, HER CHILD:
"A riveting read that will leave the reader glued to the pages until the
ending. Ms. Style has a flair for suspense. There were several
times where I held my breath! It takes great talent to pull a reader
so completely into a read that they feel a part of it! This is a
push/pull relationship and two more opposite people could never be
matched...but still their romance is believable...perhaps because of the
different things that they have to tackle before a happy ending is found.
This is the first in her new series and if this is any book to judge from,
it will be a series you won't want to miss."
--Romance
Designs
"Tense, suspenseful and full of surprises. The pages seem to turn by
themselves When a story engages my mind as well as my emotions, then I
know I am hooked. Style does a great job of both. For a good
reading experience that mingles romance and a very well-written suspense
story, pick up HIS CASE, HER CHILD and enjoy the ride."
-- The Romance Reader
"Exceptionally talented Linda Style has created a new series, COLD CASES:
L.A., with HIS CASE, HER CHILD as the powerful premier book. I
couldn't help but be partial to the no-nonsense Detective Rico Santini and
feisty child advocate Macy Capshaw. Their story is fresh and
contemporary and could be found in today's headlines. I was especially
impressed by the way Style handles the sensitive topic of adopting and
reuniting children with birth parents. I suggested you start COLD
CASES: L.A. series with your own copy of HIS CASE, HER CHILD by Linda
Style."
--CataRomance.com
"Great story! So intense. With strong feelings of love and
betrayal. Mystery and danger...another couldn't put it down story
you'll really love."
--Rendezvous Magazine
"Linda Style writes an intriguing, fast-moving intelligent story. I'll
be on the look-out for more!"
-- Linda Lael Miller
