USA Today Bestselling Author Jen Talty

Imagine spending your entire career looking for the one person you believe will unlock the mystery of who killed your sister only to find her the most unlikely place; in your office, as your new partner.

Special Agent Travis Brown has set his life up so he can have access to information that will lead him to the one woman he believes can tell him who killed his sister. But he’s not prepared for the drive and determination of his new partner; Special Agent Shauna Morgan. Her instincts are sharp and her beauty undeniable. His attraction to her is as strong as his need to find his sister’s killer. But Shauna has a secret. A secret that will ultimately put his heart on the line, along with her life.

Jane Doe’s Return is a contemporary romantic suspense set between the city streets of Albany, New York and the scenic beauty of Lake George where I lived for many years. It is a tale of one woman who believes the only way to move beyond her past, is to shut the door on it, and the man who breaks it down.

Jane Doe's Return is the recipient of The Molly and The Beacon Romance Writing Contests.

About the Author

en Talty co-created Cool Gus Publishing with NY Times Best-Selling Author Bob Mayer, and runs the technical side of the company. She is a published romance author, and teaches Creative Writing at various writing conferences across the country. Jen grew up in Rochester, NY, a city with the highest murder rate per capita in the entire state. With notorious cases such as The Alphabet Murders, The Genesee River Killer (Arthur Shawcross), The Murder of Kali Ann Poulton by Mark Christi, and the case of funeral homes stealing body parts from corpses awaiting cremation, Jen became fascinated by the darker side of human nature. She brings this fascination to her romances, creating dark villains who wreak havoc on the hero and heroine, and producing page-turning suspense. Cool Gus Publishing was formed as a vehicle to launch Bob Mayer's backlist into digital publication. It was built on the notion that writers produce the product, readers consume the product and everything else is in between. The 21st century has brought the rise of the digital author. It is time to take control. Write It Forward, a division of Cool Gus Publishing was formed because both Bob Mayer and Jen Talty believe the two most important people in the publishing business are the writer and the reader. The key to being successful in a business where 99% of what is submitted or self-published is rejected or fails is education and understanding. Write It Forward is dedicated to giving writers the tools and information they need to increase their chances of success. It truly is a great time to be an author. Print this

This book is really good, it kept me turning pages, it has action, romance, and a hunky man. The whodonit I had figured out way early, but it was still very good, with a few errors in the spelling, which it seems nearly every single book has these days for some reason. But I really felt like I was there with these characters. Bravo to Jen Talty well written! I fully recommend this book!

this was a quick read with an entertaining but predictable story. my biggest complaint is that many times words were left out of sentences causing me to have to read the sentence twice, filling in the missing word the second time which interrupts the flow of reading. but all in all a good mystery and a pleasant love story. the two main characters were very likable and well developed.

The suspense is on from page one. This book has it all, murder, twists and romance. The chemistry between the Shauna and Travis is perfectly tainted. You'll end up cheering for them and hoping everything works our knowing that secrets really can destroy a great thing. This book will have you guessing until the end.
The attention to detail is priceless, the hero, Travis is a strong man who remains a gentleman throughout. And the heroine, Shauna is equally as strong minded, but with a sensitive side. When you mix it all together you get a great read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I loved it so much, I purchased  Rekindled  as well.
Fantastic!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but plot is cookie-cutter variety
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2013

Travis became an FBI agent to catch the man who raped and killed his sister. Shauna became one to catch the man who raped and nearly killed her. Same man. Travis is obsessed with finding the one woman who escaped the killer. Shauna is obsessed with keeping it a secret that she's the one. The rapist/killer meanwhile, is out to get them both.
Travis loves Shauna, Shauna loves Travis and both are great at misinterpreting the other. In fact, both are exceedingly thick as tends to be the generic plot of a romance novel.
Its redeeming feature was that it was a thriller although the ending was more than strange. After they realized who the rapist/killer was, instead of acting, they designed a trap that just had to backfire. And, of course, it did.........

I obtained this free e-book from Amazon and I am voluntarily writing a review. Shauna when she was sixteen is the only survivor of a serial rapist now years later she still cannot remember anything about him but the sound of his voice. She is now an FBI Agent working in the Violent Crimes Unit back in her Home town where it all began. It is crucial that no one knows she is Jane Doe so she can work this case to bring this killer to justice. Travis has spent his entire FBI career looking for the killer of his sister. He is convinced that the man convicted and in prison is not her killer but no one will listen. He has just learned he is getting a female newbie partner to train and has been warned not to drag her into his compulsive search for his sister's killer.

As a lover of mysteries I chose this book because the synopsis appealed to me. This book was everything and more of what I was looking for. The characters were well-developed, the story was tight while still providing the character development that is crucial to this story. Although I was ahead of the story in spots, the resolution still provided a surprise. I recommend this to mystery lovers and romance lovers alike!

This book kept me up because I just didn't want to put it down. It is one of those books that pulls you in from the beginning. The characters are so real that as I was reading I felt like I was right in the room with them. Lots of good twists and turns in this book. I fell in love with Travis and Shauna. I am hoping that they will work together on another exciting case and I can read about it.

I really enjoyed reading this book...even more so because I got it for free on amazon kindle! It was a shorter read, but I thought it was good. No unnecessary detail and wording just to fill space. A good thriller with interesting scenes between characters. I would definitely recommend.

Special Agent Travis Brown is still haunted by the murder of his sister. Travis believes that the man who was sent to prison for the crime is not the man responsible for his sister's death, so Travis is obsessed with finding the real killer. Travis's only hope is that one of the victims survived her ordeal at the hands of the killer and then when the FBI arrived on the scene she disappeared, this mysterious Jane Doe could give Travis the answers he is looking for, the key to finding the killer, but first Travis must find her.

Shauna Morgan is a new agent who is partnered with Travis. Shauna knows that the man who was found guilty of killing Travis's sister is not the man who did the crime. Shauna has joined the FBI to stop living in fear and to use what happened to her in the past for the greater purpose of helping others.

When Travis and Shauna meet there is a mutual physical attraction between them. Travis may be attracted but he has a feeling that Shauna is keeping something from him.

What is Shauna's secret?

This is a romantic suspense novel, set in Albany, New York, with a superb storyline. You do learn a lot about the two main characters early on in the story which adds to the tension and keeps the reader hooked. With some steamy love scenes and twists in the plot, all in all this book is a good read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story-telling style but all a little too coincidental
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2012
Verified Purchase
Good story although as far-fetched and coincidental as it sounds and without giving too much of the plot away, most FBI agents in the story were personally involved (in one way or another) with a case they had chosen to devote their career on, with or without consent of powers-that-be.

Author has an easy writing style and the story flows but what did pull it down is: the grammatical and spelling errors.
There were very few twists in the plot which relies more on the developing relationship between Travis and Shauna and their individual and joint methods of dealing with a past traumatic experience that linked them in a secretive way.

I did guess the identity of the murderer early on and wondered if this was a red herring and there would be a twist at the end but I had guessed correctly. Even so a good read if you're looking for some easy escapism.

I gave this three stars as it needs a final edit for spelling and grammatical errors.
