reviews

STOLEN SEDUCTION

"Stolen Seduction is the third in Naughton's Stolen series and in my opinion, the best yet! The chemistry between Hailey and Shane comes off the page and it's so steamy. Reading how they're slightly reticent about trusting each other at first but having to start was very enjoyable to read. The treasure hunt and finding out who was behind the murder kept me on the edge of my seat all along, I really wanted to find out who was orchestrating the murders and why. Stolen Seduction's a very fun, adventurous, and sexy book and I highly recommend it."
—Night Owl Romance, Top Pick!

 

STOLEN HEAT

"Exciting, action-packed and fast moving, this story seamlessly alternates from the present to the past. A first-rate mystery, it has well-developed characters and a suspenseful and satisfying climax. A fine romantic thread winds through it all."
—RT BOOKReviews

"This book has got it all: an adventure that keeps you turning the pages, an irresistible hero, and a smoking romance. Nothing can detract from the fact that Stolen Heat is one fun read."
—All About Romance

“Ms. Naughton offers readers an intense read with nonstop action, suspense, and sizzling chemistry.”
—Darque Reviews

“Stolen Heat is a very well-written romantic suspense with excitement and intrigue on every page. I fell in love with the characters and their witty personalities. A great read!”
—Fresh Fiction

"This is a well-thought-out concept and wonderfully written books in the trilogy so far. The mysteries are complex but the love is simple, a balance achieved with characters you can't help but like...Ms. Naughton is now on my auto-buy list."
—The Good, The Bad & The Unread

"Stolen Heat is an awesome combination of deadly suspense, edgy action and a wonderful romance with characters that you’ll laugh, cry and yell with. I had a great time reading it and I’m definitely looking forward to more of Ms. Naughton’s books."
—Night Owl Romance

"Wowzers!! This book started out with a bang and didn’t stop the entire book through!! Often when reading RS it’s not equally balanced, but not so in this one. It’s the perfect blend of both. If you like romantic suspense, if you’ve never tried it before but are curious and looking for a good one – Stolen Heat is a book to put on the Be On The Lookout For [list]."
—Ramblings on Romance, etc.

"Ms. Naughton hooks you with characters way too human to be perfect, and plot lines that are delivered with laser-like precision."
—Coffee Time Romance

 

STOLEN FURY

"Dr. Lisa Maxwell nearly got herself killed locating one of the three legendary Furies, but when Rafe Sullivan steals it from her, Lisa plans on killing him. After tracking Rafe to Florida, Lisa discovers that if she wants her relic back, she is going to have to work with the irresistibly sexy thief to find the elusive third statue. The fury of a woman scorned is nothing compared with the fury of a woman who has had her treasure stolen from her in this superbly written debut. Naughton deftly distills deadly intrigue, high adrenaline action, and scorchingly hot passion into perfectly constructed novel of romantic suspense."
—Chicago Tribune

"Naughton creates an action-packed and satisfying storyline. She also delivers one very charming and sexy hero — with a heart of gold."
—Romantic Times

"In Naughton's rock-solid debut, the first of a trilogy, a duo searching for three magnificent bas-reliefs of the Greek Furies find romance and danger as well. For 15 years, since the death of her lover, Dr. Lisa Maxwell has been obsessed with reuniting the sculptures of Alecto, Megaera and Tisiphone. She's furious when art thief Rafe Sullivan drugs her, almost seduces her and steals Alecto from her hotel room safe. With the help of her twin brother, Chicago detective Shane Maxwell, Lisa locates Rafe in Key West, Fla., where he has a line on Megaera. They reluctantly join forces and race to find Tisiphone before another treasure hunter picks them off. Naughton's intelligent adventure plot is intensified by the blazing heat that builds from Lisa and Rafe's first erotic encounter." (Jan.)
—Publisher's Weekly

"If you like Indiana Jones and Romancing the Stone, you'll love Naughton's dazzling romantic adventure STOLEN FURY. Put smart and sassy archeologist Dr. Lisa Maxwell with fun and sexy thief Rafe Sullivan and watch the fireworks. From Jamaica to Italy to the high seas, this debut sizzles. A fun, sexy, page-turning romantic adventure."
New York Times Bestselling Author
Allison Brennan

"Wow, what a roller coaster ride! Naughton nails her debut with a hot hero, a sassy heroine and a plot with more twists than a pretzel!"
—Karin Tabke
author of Jaded

"Elisabeth Naughton can spin a tale to captivate the reader and take them for a ride. The locations in this book are some of the most exotic but are still just a backdrop to the main characters. The hero and heroine are both flawed but still loveable and therefore believable. The author really took the time to look into the Puerto Rican and Greek cultures to make the story authentic. Rafe has a sexy Spanish accent with which he says the sweetest things every woman would love to hear. Ms. Naughton skillfully kept the identity of the villain a secret to the very last chapter and I was shocked upon the revelation."
Coffee Time Romance

"Naughton moves seamlessly from scene to scene and viewpoint to viewpoint in this story, foreshadowing bits and pieces of a puzzle but leaving enough details for surprises you won't expect. Well-drawn and realistic, her characters almost leap from the pages. The stubborn, smart and beautiful Lisa represents characteristics many women would envy, and Rafe has a bad-boy exterior we all secretly crave. And, there might just be a softer interior there like the gooey center of a truffle.

Naughton has clearly done her research on both mythology and archaeology and the details all ring true. Descriptions of the Furies will make you want to look up pictures, and you can almost feel the dampness surround you during the scenes in underwater caves. Naughton has included a strong lineup of secondary characters, some of whom we may well meet again in the second and third books in the series. STOLEN FURY is a must-read for all fans of romantic suspense. I can't wait to read STOLEN HEAT, the next in the series due out in summer 2009."
