Elizabeth Ashtree's resolution to the conflict doesn't disappoint, making THE COLONEL AND THE KID a terrific read. Very highly recommended. — Cindy Penn, WordWeaving.com
The tale salutes the soldiers and family members for their sacrifices. The exciting story line is filled with angst as a somewhat broken Anthony feels he is no longer suitable for the two females who desperately want him in their lives and behaves accordingly in a Pygmalion Effect way. Fans will appreciate this solid relationship drama with the terrorist serving as either a widowmaker or matchmaker depending on who triumphs. — Harriet Klausner
Most excellent story of emotional trouble – strong love – insecurity – and healing.... Definitely Recommended.
— M. Hartmann
Highly recommended.... Author Elizabeth Ashtree pens a powerful tale of honor in the military with A CAPTAIN'S HONOR. Women who have endured sexual harassment will find themselves impressed by Ashtree's careful rendering of such a devastating crime.... Rachel's struggles to cope with such a challenging assignment will keep the pages turning. Nate's ambivalence over his role in bringing her into such a difficult situation will likewise strike a sympathetic cord with readers. A memorable military romance and highly recommended. — editor@wordweaving.com

CID Major Julian Fordham is brother to Nathan,of A CAPTAIN'S HONOR, has commitment issues and fears losing control of his emotions.... but Captain Kelsey O'Roark pushes him unintentionally toward losing control of his feelings.... There are some tense moments, some fun moments ... a good read, recommend. — M. Hartmann
INTO THIN AIR is an intriguing military police romantic mystery ... the military murder mystery provides a fine R&R for readers. — Harriet Klausner
This entertaining romantic legal thriller works because the lead couple of this aptly titled tale focuses on defending the child over their attraction. The story line is fast-paced from the moment [Simon Montgomery] picks up the pro bono defense of Tiffany and never slows down as he struggles with issues left by the previous lawyer, his client's history and brooding reluctance to speak, and his desire for Jayda [who is Tiffany's social worker]. Her idealism matches his skepticism as fans will enjoy this fine contemporary. — Harriet Klausner
I quite liked the voice and pacing of this book.... I was surprisingly drawn into the story and these characters' lives.... I did want to know what happened next, and could not put it down. That in itself is a testament to the author's talent and style. THE CHILD COMES FIRST is a nice, short vacation, the kind where you get to worry about someone else's problems for awhile, instead of your own, and you always know that it will all come out right in the end. And everyone needs that kind of escape sometimes. — Karen Joan
