review:

A quick,enjoyable read of three short stories by M.J. Rose each involving a larger than life suspense character from a famous series. Authorized by their creators, M.J. Rose does a very favorable treatment, truly capturing each characters unique voice.



Her own character, Dr. Morgan Snow, is a sex therapist who stars in her own series. Dr. Snow finds herself interacting with each of these men, either through therapy sessions, or by being threatened or endangered. None of the encounters feels forced or uncharacteristic, which must have been a bit of a challenge, since most of these tough guys wouldn't be caught dead in any kind of therapist's office. Kudos to the author.



I'm not usually a big fan of crossover fiction or favorite characters written by other authors (although I would like to see a Jack Reacher/John Rain encounter), but the writing is deft and feels true to the nature of each character. I think my favorite of the three involved John Rain, but all three are solid storytelling.
