8 Books in 1: Jane Austen's Complete Novels.......2007-09-05

The type is very small. It is more comfortable to read a book printed as an individual book. I should have thought this through before ordering a book with all 8 books in one. On the other hand, if you just want to take one book with you, you have 8 to read and only have to carry one. So, for that reason, it's quite a bargain.

not great.......2007-03-09

I ordered this book online thinking it would be cool to have all books in one book so to speak. I was disappointed, each page is split into 2 in the middle, it was not fun reading, and i actually returned it.

Pride and Prejudice.......2007-03-09

I have the video of one of the older versions of the movie and I also have the cd of the most recent movie. I love both of them so much that I had to get the book since it gives you more of an indebt of the thoughts etc. of the characters.
I love the book

Good value.......2007-01-30

For the money, this was great. A few typos, but nothing too bad. If you just want all of Jane Austen's works in one volume I would recommend it.

Wonderful.......2007-01-28

I found this book absolutely wonderful. The illustrations are very good and the Pride and Prejudice illustrations are quite funny. The price is great and I thought it was qutie a steal. Getting a good copy of each of Jane Austen's novels can be pricey, but in this book you get all six plus two fractions of a novel! This is a very good deal.

Murder and Drag.......2007-05-21

An unlikely cast of characters are brought together to form the High Profiles Crime Unit, which must break into the world of drag queens for this case.

Juatice Served.......2007-03-10

What can you say about a Radclyffe book that hasn't already been said. She is truely a master of her genre. Keep on writing.

A suspense-filled read!.......2006-07-30

A human life is valuable beyond reason. And Detective Lieutenant Rebecca Frye's team is determined to remind someone of just that fact. A team, which is a force to be reckoned with as they proved in their previous case, a team that has now become the High Profile Crimes Unit.

A team consisting of some of the most unlikely of people - computer expert JT Sloan, first introduced in Radclyffe's A Matter of Trust, determined to find the assailant who almost cost her the life of her lover Michael, a woman she loves above all else; Dellon Mitchell, a rookie police officer who's courage earned her her detective's shield; "Jazmine" Jason's alter ego who played a pivotal role for the team and Dr. Catherine Rawlings, Rebecca's lover, who is determined that the "job" will not claim her lover.

When a lead in their latest case points them towards the world of Drag Kings and Queens, Jazmine's identity becomes invaluable and Dellon Mitchell becomes `Mitch'. A fact that Dell's lover Sandy isn't sure she likes. One of her reasons becomes a huge question in everyone's mind...exactly how far undercover will Jazmine and Mitch be required to go? Danger becomes very real in this world. A fact Mitch and Jazmine need to remember because if they don't, it could get them killed.

An unexpected break comes from a most unusual source. It seems the police department now wants to hire JT to oversee development of their electronic surveilance unit of all things. She soon discovers that more than one source is using their computers to find information. Who? JT races to discover their identity and stop them before irrevocable harm is caused. Before the next victim becomes one of her teammates.

And if things weren't already stressful enough, a tenuous relationship may be placed in jeopardy when a woman from Dell's past suddenly makes an appearance. A woman who slams Dell's `old life' back in her face. The aftermath of which the whole team is not sure they'll survive.

Radclyffe is a master of drama and suspense having proved that fact in her previous works now totalling over 20. In Justice Served, her fourth book in the "justice" series, her characters, all strong women who's lives and stories began in A Matter of Trust and Shield of Justice, then merged together in the sequels In Pursuit of Justice, and Justice in the Shadows embroil the reader in a non-stop, action-packed, drama-filled suspense ridden story. And make the reader believe there are champions out there for us all.

5 stars for Justice's #5.......2006-07-28

Rebecca and Catherine's Justice series carries on with their relationship and breaking down the little pieces still keeping Catherine at bay.

Dell is recovering from injuries in #4 and is being pampered by her new partner (Sandy). Oh, but nobody's going to miss out on the action in this book.

They are again joined by the cast of characters from another of Radclyffe's series (Michael & Sloan and Jason (Jasmin) and Sarah).

Don't miss this one!

Readers are Served by This Author.......2006-06-21

In this fifth book of the Justice series, Rebecca Frye and her cohorts are after a mole in the police department who is alerting the bad guys to the planned actions of the police. Frye and her team have to find the mole, but who can they trust except each other?

Whether you read Radclyffe's series books or you read one of her stand-alone romances, you can not go wrong.

I have been reading lesbian fiction for many years, and can honestly say that I have never come across a writer that has so affected me. Her characters are strong, intelligent, and romantic. Naysayers will say that Radclyffe's characters are too perfect almost never flawed - either in looks or character. That may be true, but aren't you tired of the genre's penchant for ordinary? Radclyffe's characters are always enchanting, intoxicating, enticing, and intense. The stories, particularly in the series books, are all first class. Most of her series books are page-turners. And in two of the books, I actually turned to the last page to make sure that the main characters survived - something I never do.

Radclyffe let us believe, at least for the duration of each of her books, that the grand passion, the true love, the happy-ever-after are all possible. She lets us believe that being a strong, intelligent woman does not mean that we will be alone and/or isolated.

The only caveat I have is to read the series books in order. And if you enjoy watching a writer grow, then read the non-series books in the order they were written and watch Radclyffe's talent grow before your very eyes.

Another great book by the author of Whoever Fights Monsters. This time, Ressler tells of his life before he started hunting serial killers, and of his almost obsession-like need to have justice served against a judge who hired someone to kill his wife. Ressler's style is always engrossing, and the adventures he has in his life are amazing.

numbing.......2005-10-07

Chilling, cold, truthful and numbing.
This is fiction but it gave me nightmares even after the book was long finished.
Looking out of the window on a warm breezy sunny day did not help to dull the frightening images created by the author. It felt real like it happened somewhere, sometime or it might just happen in your own backyard.
Flowers is talented. No doubt. He gave me such an adernalin rush.
I was sweating profusely.My heart pounded. I could scream. This book had such an effect for such a small price. I recommend it highly even for the faint heart.

terrific suspense thriller .......2005-09-26

The media has latched on to a new feeding frenzy, the Vigilante Killer targeting abusive males who escaped punishment due to plea-bargains, frightened hung juries, or bogus legal wiggles. Detective Sergeant Ray Barkley and Detective Nina Preston lead the investigation that has two other links besides the so-called victims being abusive male predators. All the dead men walked free after their assault case was heard in the courtroom of Criminal Court Judge Carole Cranston and their female victims recovered at the Rose City Women's Shelter; coincidentally or vigilante Judge Cranston donates plenty of money to the facility.

Nina believes the circumstantial evidence enhanced by the Judge's attitude towards male abusers make her, the guilty party. On the other hand Ray likes the Judge and is convinced she is innocent. Nina assumes he is thinking with the wrong head. Is Carole a frustrated judge who has crossed the line or just the foci of an avenging angel?

The magic behind R. Barri Flowers' terrific suspense thriller is that the serial killer is in plain sight as the clues are laid out for the audience to determine whether Carole is the Vigilante or not. The story line is action-packed as the two cops follow leads that each interprets differently as Ray wants Her Honor innocent while Nina is totally convinced otherwise. Fans of police procedural serial killer thrillers will want to read this fine tale while anxiously waiting to follow the next investigation, the opening tickler being the abduction of the Mayor's daughter.

GREAT READ!.......2005-09-24

I have read most of Barri's books and I will continue to buy them. I waited a very long time for Justice Served to be released and it was well worth the wait. From the time I opened the book and read the first page, it was difficult to put down. I recommend Justice Service highly and I also recommend you look for the name R. Barri Flowers wherever you buy books. He's a keeper.

Do they really deserve all that?.......2005-08-31

Portland detectives, Ray Barkley and Nina Parker, are faced with a serial murderer that is going against all odds. This killer is wiping out men who have abused and beaten their wives or girlfriends, yet have gotten no punishment in the judicial system. Four men have been brutally slain with baseball bats and the count is rising. The killer beats them until they are unrecognizable. Not only is this criminal smart, the person appears to be a woman, which is a bit outside the profile for serial killers. To further complicate issues, Ray and Nina had an affair in the past and Nina becomes just a touch jealous when Ray falls hard for the judge involved in the case. Meanwhile, the judge's former lover, a defense lawyer who appears frequently in her court, has married and wants the judge to counsel his wife Vivien, on whether or not to have an abortion. The judge, Carole Cranston, is not sure whether to trust the friendliness of the wife or not. Maybe Vivien is the murderer; however, Nina is sure the judge is the guilty party.

R. Barri Flowers has created a superb mystery. Every time you think you know who did it, another monkey wrench is tossed into the mix. Some characters seem so guilty but then you find yourself praying that they didn't do it because although they have good reasons for killing, it would just break your heart. There's just enough romance and romantic triangles to keep the interest going. It's a great book that any mystery lover will adore.

An author that weaves a magical, yet tangled, web........2005-08-19

Criminal Court Judge Carole Cranston hates the battered-women cases the most. She chose her career in hopes of putting the abusive men in prison and off the streets. Yet far too often Carole can do nothing but watch as the guilty men go free due to a plea-bargain, hung jury, or some sort of small technicality. But that did not make her resort to becoming a vigilante. Or did it?

Detective Sergeant Ray Barkley and his partner, Detective Nina Preston, are the ones on the Vigilante Killer case that is getting so much media coverage. Seems that there is a serial killer, possibly female, on the loose. She targets abusive men who escape the justice system. As bodies pile up, the few clues they have point the finger at Judge Carole Cranston. All the murdered men had been in her court room. They all walked free. And the women abused had all spent some time in the Rose City Women's Shelter, where Carole donates a lot of money. Nina has no doubt that Carole is guilty and is doing all she can to prove it. That is hard to do without hurting Ray, who is very attracted to Her Honor. It causes tension between the two partners as well, because Ray is just as positive that Carole is innocent. In fact, Ray and Carole begin seeing each other, even though it is NOT a good idea.

**** I am lucky enough to be able to state that in my personal life almost half the people I know are black, almost half are white, and there are a few numbers of other races. So I am used to hearing titles such as "brother, sister, dude, amigo, man, guy" and the likes every day. When I read a book where most, if not all, the characters are African-American it does not surprise me to read "brother" or "sister" in it. It seldom even registers to my brain. However, in my opinion, those two titles are use far too frequently. I felt as if they were being used on every second or third page. It seemed unrealistic and became frustrating.

As for the story plot, characters, and suspense, R. Barri Flowers proves, once again, that he chose the right career. This author weaves a magical web, as well as, a tangled one. The clues are all there, but even toward the end I could not be positive that I had tagged the right culprit. I will be recommending this title to many! One last thing, if you hate to be left hanging do NOT read the last page or two. This is a stand alone story. The author wraps up the mystery thriller beautifully. But the last couple of pages begins with the killer of the next novel kidnapping his first victim. I was left feeling incomplete. ****

Book Description

Young, gorgeous Nicole Duval has the world by the tail and an ambition so strong nothing can hamper her dreams-or so she thinks. Then, on the evening after her graduation from law school, everything changes. Sexually assaulted, left for dead, and her attacker still on the loose, Nicole's driving need for justice eventually leads her to taking a position as assistant district attorney. When Nicole meets Judge Douglas Anthony Keegan, they re-establish a warm friendship from years past, and fall deeply in love. The memory of her grisly attack sparks terrible flashbacks and haunting fears that create intense pressures on their struggling relationship. Added to their growing problems is their fear surrounding the knowledge they each are adopted, were born on the same date, and may have had a twin sibling. The implication is devastating. With mounting stress, the numerous challenges Nicole and Douglas face together leave a trail of doubts, fears, and conflicts, which unravel into heartache and despair as they seek to preserve their deep love. Filled with the passionate emotions of love, compassion, and great tenderness, When Justice is Served is a riveting love story with spellbinding suspense.

Great crime novel with an intoxicating love story.......2007-03-25

Bright, beautiful, law-school educated with a great future--it all falls by the wayside for young Nicole Duval as she falls victim to a vicious, brutal, life-changing sexual assault. The mental and emotional aftermath memory ruptures her every attempt to resume a normal life.

In Cooper's riveting, page-turning, totally absorbing tale of mystery and suspense is a story filled with love, longing and unrequited desires of the flesh and heart in which she plays out the rumble and explosion of Nicole's uncontrollable emotions.

Cooper reveals a deep personal understanding of what happens to a normal, warm-blooded woman who has been subjected to violent and tortuous sexual degradation. In shocking detail, she gives us an unforgettable play-by-play account of one of the worst sins of man against woman. You don't just read her words. You feel it in your gut until it sickens you.

As Cooper's central man-woman romantic storyline develops, she demonstrates a remarkable ability to capture the raw, carnal-driven nature of a loving, passionate and viral man in his prime struggling to be a compassionate and understanding lover and committed partner-for-life.

Cooper writes of the backroom goings-on in a metropolitan courthouse as if she were one of the in-crowd. Her expert presentation of courtroom etiquette, tactics, rules of evidence and procedure is mesmerizing. You are there. You see and feel the jurors shrinking back and folding their arms over their chest for security as the accused rapist-defendant young Nicole Duval is prosecuting is ordered to openly display to the jury the telltale physical evidence of his body for all to see.

Suddenly, you feel the dynamic young district attorney's heart pounding in her chest as she discovers with a start--in the middle of trial in the courtroom, itself--that the arrogant defendant she is prosecuting is, in fact, the very same man that viciously attacked her years ago. Without warning, Nocole Duval stands face-to-face with her savage rapist. Emotionally spellbinding!

I was hooked and drawn into Cooper's story in its first few pages. As I read on, I had to tear myself away in order to take a break to eat and sleep. Everything unessential had to wait. This great story could not wait! Jeanette Cooper's skill in developing breathtaking suspense is nothing short of masterful.

When Justice Is Served is an emotional trip to rival the best novel I have ever read. The story plot is intoxicating. I simply couldn't move from my chair as I ripped through the pages to the dramatic resolution, a totally surprising and unexpected climax that pulls at the heartstrings.

Yes, it's true: In the last few pages of this magnificent novel, I cried. What a trip!

If you read nothing else this year, read When Justice is Served. This is one great novel!

Author's Note:.......2006-12-16

When I first started writing 'When Justice is Served', a friend of mine had recently been raped. It was a devastating struggle for her to attempt to overcome the deep trauma that subtracted from her mental and emotional peace of mind. In her own words, she stated, "One never gets over such a horrible thing, and it leaves scars that affect one's entire life."

Statistics on rape in the United States are astounding. Every two minutes or less, someone is sexually assaulted, and approximately one-fifth of all American women become victims of sexual assault. Statistics are higher among college students. While most rapes are never reported, neither is the tragedy a rape victim suffers in the struggle to find physical, mental, and most of all, emotional healing. Some never find it.

My book, 'When Justice is Served', gives a fictional account of one young woman's dramatic struggle to overcome the devastating trauma that nearly destroyed her life. Although her story is dramatized, it nevertheless characterizes to a large degree what a rape victim must go through toward seeking balance in a disrupted life.

I hope you enjoy my book, and if you are a rape victim, I hope Nicole Duval's perseverance toward overcoming the neurosis sustained from her rape will serve as motivation for you to keep trying to find peace and happiness in your own life.

Lawyers and citizen volunteers working together.......2005-05-18

Courtroom drama has its place, but this book tells so much more of the story. Every conservation battle is a tale of people who became concerned about something bad that was about to happen to the land and water and air, in violation of our laws. If they were lucky, they had lawyers from Earthjustice to help take the issue to court. Tom Turner knows how to tell a story, and he delves into the fascinating details of ten such cases. Handsome photographs and drawing show what was at stake.

This book will interest readers who care about saving wild lands and defeating pollution. Its stories are full of ideas that can be used again, wherever the earth is threatened.

Glorious photos and inspiring text.......2003-03-06

This is a coffee-table book you want to take to bed with you! The photos are stunning (as they were in the prequel, Wild by Law) but the stories are so compelling you can't put it down. The book details some of the struggles Earthjustice, the leading non-profit environmental law firm, has had fighting the good fight for civic groups, indigenous folks, and others unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire when the bad guys try to do their nasty deeds. It reads like a detective novel, but better illustrated!

About the endless battles to protect the Earth.......2002-11-14

Justice On Earth: Earthjustice And The People It Has Served by Tom Turner (Earthjustice Senior Editor) is a compelling collection of true stories about the endless battles to protect the earth from the depredations of big and small businesses. Illustrated with numerous full-color photographs, the informed and informative text recounts legal battles of the environmentally oriented Earthjustice legal organization, the centuries of history leading up to these often seminal litigations, as well as the very people and places that devoted public servants struggle to protect. Justice On Earth is a highly recommended addition to any personal, academic, or community library Environmental Issues reference collection or reading list.
