Has anyone heard of a somewhat-new writer, Kris Calvert? I just saw that one of her books is only $0.99 now. (Okay, she only has had 2 books so far, and the other - a novella - is free.) There aren't many reviews, but almost all of them are quite good.

Kris Calvert - Sex, Lies & Sweet Tea (Moonlight & Magnolias #1) : Amazon | Kobo

Quote:
Hotter than hell and half of Alabama, FBI Agent, Mac Callahan is thirsty for everything except love. Coming home to bust a white-collar crime ring, Mac intends to execute his usual practice with work and women – get in, get it on and get out. Instead, he finds himself unexpectedly drawn to the legacy of his family, his plantation, and the charms of a Southern girl.

Samantha Peterson possesses everything he needs in a woman, including the evidence to wrap his case. As the investigation heats up, so does their passion and a dangerous game ignites. But, then again, everything’s hotter in the South.
From some reviews I've read, it sounds like the book ends with a cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers, but it's okay if I know that a book has one before reading it. I can just wait till I've had all the books before I start reading. It's just that I've always preferred a series with related characters but different H/h for each book (i.e. standalone). I don't really like to read a romance series of 3 or 4 books with the same H/h. The story can become "draggy" with unnecessary angst and such.

However, I have fewer problems with the same H/h in more than 1 book if the story is more of a romantic suspense. So, yeah, I think this Moonlight & Magnolias series is probably more tolerable as it seems to be a romantic suspense.

Has anyone here read the book (or the other one)? I'll most likely buy it ($0.99 with good reviews is not something I would like to miss), but I certainly don't mind having more insightful reviews from you.

Oh, by the way, book #2 from the series is going to be released soon, thus the temporarily lowered price for book #1.

p/s: Kobo trivia contest is going to start soon! Get your lists ready, Blue2u and library addict!
