Reviews
Desere – Goodreads
“The book had all kinds of main and secondary characters not to mention loads of action, intrigue and emotion. I found myself thinking more than once that having your child kidnapped has to be one of the worst feelings of dread and the author so perfectly conveyed those feelings to me that I felt true sadness and despair.
The author has a unique style of writing,combining real life situations with a the perfect ending. I recommend this read for those seeking a action packed, dramatic, realistic,romantic and suspenseful read!”
Desere – Goodreads
“I have learned that a good action suspense read intertwined with romance needs to have enough action drama to get your attention to want to get to the bottom of the mystery but also enough heat between the two main characters to bring you that feeling of breathlessness and pure joy when it all comes together in the end.
In the new read from Juanita Kees I got all that and so much more. The story is about TJ she is a kick ass heroine that does not back down from what she wants and goes after anything and everything with her heart and soul. “
Jenny Schwartz – Goodreads
“Juanita Kees is one of the loveliest people you’ll meet. This is a problem. How could someone so nice make me believe in the underworld? By making it real. [The plot] has an intense, harsh conflict at its core. It’s about drugs and murder and recovering from long-term domestic abuse. The story doesn’t dwell on the darkness, but nor does it shirk it. The terrifying sense of powerlessness suffered by the heroine is well conveyed, along with her struggle to rebuild her life and save her son. The romantic thread running through the book helps to carry this thread of hope and to emphasise Lily’s courage.”

“Shattered is #4 in the Unfinished Business series by Aussie author Juanita Kees and it was outstanding.Fast paced, chilling, filled with tension and murder, it’s another well-written episode in the series, all of which I’ve read. Some great characters, namely Chewy the goat who loved eating petunias; Gus, a gentle giant who was an excellent chef and was loved by all, especially children. Mrs Lee – many memorable characters in a book I highly recommend.”

“WOW this is one fantastic story fast paced filled with action it is heart-breaking and heart-warming as we see Bridey grow in strength, I was cheering her on throughout this story she has been through so much, it is now time for her to discover who she is and find love and happiness and Cole is just the person to make that happen.
Ms Kees has taken on some issues that are very relevant in this day and age and done it with care and empathy, this story is so well written and one that I highly recommend, and I still have the first three books in this series to read, lucky me, it really is a fabulous story that any romantic suspense reader will love.
