Protecting Tanner Hollow ~ Lynette Eason

This book consists of four romantic / suspense Novellas from the well known author Lynette Eason.
Each book is a mystery and a little romance, in the town of Tanner Hollow. The characters are carried over to each book, but can be read one book not in order.  The stories have some type of murder that needs to be solved and a hint of romance that keeps you in suspense to the end of each novella.  The novellas are about 100 pages each and can be read in one sitting.  Each one is like a Hallmark Murder Mysteries movie and will keep you guessing until the end.

I would recommend this to anyone that wants to read a book that will keep you turning the pages until the end and then when you finish with one Novella you will want to go on to the next one.  I loved how this had four different mysteries tied into one book that just flowed and you are able to read as a stand alone.  Lynette did a great job to keep you turning the pages and guessing to the very end.  The fun of the book was one character in the book before was carried over to the next so you kept that relationship going through out to the end. I couldn't wait to read this when I got it and I was not disappointed as I read it all on the same day I got it.... you can't put it down.
