Amazon Reviewer

“Each time Ms. Burroughs puts out a new book I can’t wait to download it. And once again the folks of Paradise Valley don’t disappoint. Since this is the fourth book, it’s almost like reading about people you know and can’t wait to catch up with. From the first page I was intrigued and caught up in the plot. I really enjoyed the entire book and was kept guessing till the end.”

“Debra Burroughs has done it again!! She makes her characters real people that I have come to know and love. I feel the emotions that each character is going through. This was the beginning foundation that was needed for the following Paradise Valley series. I have read all of the series and now I understand the main character and some of the questions I had are answered. I love a good romantic mystery and this one fits.

~ Judy 4 Eyes

Amazon Reviewer

“This is a terrific short story prequel to a full length mystery series. It does everything a prequel should. It entices AND satisfies. Evan and Emily are interesting, engaging characters. On the surface they are loving newlyweds starting their life together in Paradise Valley, Idaho. But clearly danger lurks beneath. Taut writing and a gift for mystery has sent me scampering to buy the next book in the series. Highly recommended!

“This is a great short story! I loved it! It was finally nice to find out what really happened to Miranda. The book kept me on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait for the next one!

~ Melinda Becker

Amazon Reviewer

“I couldn’t put the book down…I’ve grown attached to Emily and Colin and Paradise Valley. I really liked getting the background story on Colin, as he’s been a little bit of a mystery in the series, never really knowing the real him at all. You finally see the real him and learn more about his past. I can’t wait to see what the final chapter has in store for the gang.

What people are saying about
Three Days in Seattle…

“I was sucked in from the first page, compelled to read on. The author gives you just enough information to make you want more. It keeps you reading until the very end, trying to put all of the pieces together. The romance is sweet and balances out the suspense just right. The couple ends up fitting a lot of relationship into three days…all while trying to find out what happened to Kate’s sister and protect Kate from the madman out for revenge. This is a great read if you are a fan of suspense and romance.”
