Tracy Cooper-Posey Books

Silent Knight has it all--a villian that is all seeing, a hero that is tall, dark and tortured ; a heroine who's trying with her last shred of strength to make life work. The romance elements are subtly done and yet so intergral to the book, this is the suspense romance genre at it's best!

What a ride!
A small plane crashes into the Colorado mountains, taking with it 7 people. The crash was no accident. Only two survive, and their lives are changed forever. Sophie Kingston, ultra control freak finds herself having to accept care from a stranger. Jack Laubreaux, mysterious and certainly dangerous, becomes her only chance at survival as he becomes physician, psychiatrist, and nursemaid. Her broken leg and his head injury are not their only problems, though and before Jack loses consciousness, he leaves her with a chilled warning: "They will come. They will kill."
Eight years later, Sophie has returned to live in Serenity Falls, a mountain town. She has two lovely children and memories of Jack, who even after his death made certain provisions for her. Her life is normal, too normal, until one day, she sees a man who reminds her of Jack. But, that is impossible. He died eight years ago. Didn't he?
She is determined to learn his identity and winds up with more trouble than she can handle. Silent Knight.
Tracy Cooper-Posey has a unique talent for taking her readers by the hand, leading them to the edge and pushing them off the cliff. What a story! What a ride!

This was a wonderful book that I was loath to put down until I finished the final page. Ms. Cooper-Posey has penned an amazing suspense read that offered so many twists and turns and wonderful characters that I was totally drawn into her world.

Two strangers meet under the most challenging circumstance. Jack Laubreaux and Sophie Kingston are the only survivors of a plane crash. Sophie has suffered a severely broken leg and Jack has suffered a sever head injury as a result of the crash. Together the hunker down and wait for rescue with Jack realizing two very important things. One, he feels responsible for the crash that left five other people dead, and two, he doubts that the rescue will take place very soon. He will do all that he can to protect Sophie before he succumbs to his injury. Along the way these two very different people grow close on that mountain ledge and when they are finally rescued and taken to the hospital Sophie is told that Jack has died as a result of his injuries. She is left bereft and carries on with life, even marrying someone that reminds her of Jack but it doesn't last. She gets on with life and when she spots a stranger walking along the road she immediately thinks of Jack. The man that saved her life and touched her heart eight years earlier that she had not been able to say goodbye to.

Jack has been on the road trying to stay one step ahead of the person that wants him dead, and at the same time find a life worth living. It's only a coincidence that leads him to Serenity Falls, that and the fact that he is drawn to the mountains every winter. He can't believe his eyes when he sees Sophie for the first time since he lost consciences on the mountain. Now all of the feelings he thought he had buried rise to the top and although he knows he should leave he can't and instead allows himself to draw close to her again. This time he wants the happy ending but will he be able to have it before the "Silent Knight" catches up with him?

The chemistry between Sophie and Jack is wonderful. I love how Ms. Cooper-Posey manages to build the respect and attraction between these two very strong people. Their first kiss is so worth the wait and in my opinion is one of the most romantic kisses that I've read. The suspense of this story is top drawer, and the reader will truly be kept guessing who the bad guy is and how this person relates to Jack. This was truly a high-octane read and when combined with the romantic storyline that Ms. Cooper-Posey has created this is a book that will leave the reader completely satisfied. I highly recommend Ms. Cooper-Posey.

Not only is this a wonderful story with a deftly drawn cast of characters (without a single stereotype in the bunch!), its a beautifully written story. Her descriptions are richly textured and delightful. The ending satisfied on every level. I also finished her Sherlock Homes Chronicles of the Lost Years and will be watching for more from this vastly talented author. I just have to wonder where the print publishers were that let her get away from them. And I have to applaud the foresight of Hard Shell Word Factory in snapping her up. Don't let the electronic format stop you from this wonderful read.

Tracy Cooper-Posey lends her unique voice to EYES OF A STRANGER. The tone of the romance remains sensual, intriguing, and beguiling right through to the end, making this reader want to remain within its romantic aura long after the last page is turned.

Anistasia Kirk, Anna, struggles to save an albatross, plummeting herself into a adventure with David Morgan, who sees past the cool business woman façade she attempts to maintain, to the erotic, sensually passionate woman. When he reawakens her passion long held in check, she leaves him, without even a name, to return to her normal life.

The following night she and her fiancé Hugh hold their engagement party, but Anna finds herself shocked when Hugh introduces the mysterious stranger from the night before as his best friend.

Anna finds it more and more difficult to repress her emotions in the ensuing months as she spends more time in David's company. The stubbornness that she turned into tenacity in the business world, the passion she squelched to remain professional, and the sensuality repressed beneath business suits and sensible heels threatens both her security in her self-created world, and her relationship with her father. As David continues to coax the smoldering passions within Anna to a flame, she finds herself torn between like her mother who died mysteriously years before, and the sensible woman she had vowed to become.

EYES OF A STRANGER is a marvelously sensual romance with a heady rush to the senses and is written with flare and panache. When David promises Anna "I am the only man with whom you can allow your nature free reign and I am the only man who understands and accepts you as you are," even the most jaded of readers can't help but be swept away.

Finally another author not afraid to include historic details in her historical romance. After all isn't that the reason many of us read historicals opposed to other genre's?

This was a wonderful story and as I stated earlier full of rich historic details and great characters. I truly felt that I was with Helena of York on her quest to find her father's killer brought to justice. While doing this she treads a fine line between two different kings and one man that knows her secret, and one man she finds is her strength and her love.

Stephen is Count Dinan from Normandy. King Richard has turned his back on him and now he is known as the Black Knight. While in Oxford during a council meeting he finds himself drawn to the beautiful Isolde of Brittney. Stephen knows that Isolde is not what she appears to be. He once played with the young Isolde and the beauty before him is not the little girl he played with. Soon he finds himself drawn to Helena and he makes a promise to always be there for her no matter what. Little did he know that he was actually going to pay a price larger then he ever thought he would and that he would do it again if it would keep Helena safe. Together the work to find a traitor and killer.

The chemistry between the two main characters is wonderful. It doesn't detract from the story and in fact only adds to it. You can tell that the author did her homework on York and Oxford. I have lived in England previously and have visited both of these wonderful cities. Ms. Cooper-Posey did justice to them both. Not to mention the fact that I loved that she included the myth of Robin Hood. But the most important part of any historical is actual historic figures being included. Again Ms. Cooper-Posey gets added points for including both King Richard and his brother John as part of the colorful cast of characters, as well as creating wonderful secondary characters that are very much a part of the story.

I highly recommend this book to anyone that loves rich details, and a wonderful story that will pull you into the time period. The romance is wonderful and well written. Ms.Cooper-Posey is a truly talented author and one that I will look forward to reading again in the future!

In 1197 Oxford, per the orders of King Richard, the Chief of Justicular Hubert Walters calls a meeting of the Great Council. Prince John's supporters prefer not to be there, but even the most loyal of Richard's lords would rather be elsewhere. Only the Black Baron Stephen of Dinan wants to be there. He gave an honest opinion to Richard several years ago and since has been in royal disfavor that everyone treats with contempt. His only hope to regain his former status is courage by the King's side in war. Hubert informs Stephen he is not to attend the meeting.

Stephen meets Isobel at the Great Council feast, but insists she is an imposter as he knew Isobel in Brittany. The masquerade Isobel is actually Helena daughter of a deceased aristocrat murdered allegedly by a Saxon villager, but she believes a Norman lord did the dastardly deed. She has gone undercover to learn who murdered her father. Stephen soon helps Helena on her quest when attacks on her life begin. As they fall in love her heart remains filled with vengeance making little room for Stephen.

HEART OF VENGEANCE is an exhilarating medieval romance that transports the audience to the late twelfth century through historical tidbits and persona interwoven into the delightful plot. Stephen and Helena carry heavy emotional loads so that love is out of the question for both of them yet neither can deny their feelings for the other. The support cast especially the also obsessed Prince John adds the feeling of being in Oxford. Though one of the most frequently used eras in novels and movies, readers receive a refreshing vivid picture of courtly intrigue inside a fabulous love story.

LUCIFER'S LOVER had me breathless from the first page...This tale will have you crying. -- Briana.


4.5 Stars from Romance Readers Connection:

Ms. Cooper-Posey's Lucifer's Lover is a charming mix of humour and heat, such that I personally can't wait to pick up another of her novels. -- Valeen

Ms. Cooper-Posey has done it again! "Lucifer's Lover" is an emotionally vested romance between two people who think they know what they want. Fact is they truly have no clue until fate forces them to face them to take a cold hard look at what's important.

Lyndsay is working hard to achieve the professional goals she's set for herself. She's hard working, determined, and failure is not an option. She is well on her way to seeing these goals met until someone throws her a curve, and that curve is none other than Luke. Luke irritates Lyndsay to no end! Now they're working together not as boss and co-worker, but instead as equals. Together they make things happen and allow the chemistry that's been slowly burning in the background to move center stage. But, what will happen between them when things don't go according to plan, and life actually has the nerve to get in the way? Will Lyndsay take a chance and reach for happiness, or will Luke's secrets and personal fears keep them from finding a love of a lifetime?

Lyndsay and Luke are exceptionally drawn characters. Ms. Cooper-Posey is a master at creating character's a reader will truly care about. She's not afraid to create a lead character that's not "perfect" in every way. Both Lyndsay and Luke have their own share of emotional baggage that has gone a long way into forming the adults they've become. The conflict between Lyndsay and Luke is not only believable but also entertaining. As a result the reader is treated to a well-choreographed dance between two people looking for love, acceptance, and a happy ending. Ms. Cooper-Posey writes with heart and is a gift to the writing industry.

5 Stars!

I loved this book. The plot was intricate, intense, fast paced, well thought out and wonderfully written. The characters were believable, likable, and intensely loyal to each other and their country. The chemical reaction between characters was explosive with hot sexual scenes that left me sweating. I was hooked from the first chapter and read well into the night. This was not just a love story, but the story of political intrigue, true love verses duty, passion, honor, great dangers and intensely loyal people. I would not only highly recommend this book, but will anxiously be awaiting this author's new work. You can't go wrong with this book.

(She) has created a war torn and grief-stricken setting that helps to lay out the struggles Minnie faces as she tries to find Duardo. This is a love story, but more importantly, it is the story of Minnie's quest for someone who completes her. Black Heart is truly an adventure of the mind. Minnie and Duardo are two characters who won't soon be forgotten.

Sarah for Fallen Angels Reviews

It is 50 years after the last Roman legions have left Britain. Saxons are invading the land. After a raid that leaves much of her family dead, Diana is the only one left to run her family's estate. Although it is not permitted, under the last vestiges of Roman law, for a woman to own property, Diana has no choice - her older brother has already abandoned the family in order to follow a new leader - Arthur Pendragon. If she does not take over, her people will die.

Alaric and his company of men are on a mission for the Pendragon - set up a series of signal fires atop the tallest hills between Arthur's headquarters in Caer Leon and Eboracum. When they come across an apparently abandoned Roman villa, Alaric thinks he has found the last vital link. Then he discovers the villa isn't abandoned; a handful of skeletal people remain, their survival dependant upon one small young woman of proud Roman descent, as fierce and stubborn as a feral kitten.

Diana has no intention of allowing these Celts -- the hated Arthur Pendragon's men, to boot! -- to take over her estate. She can barely manage to house and feed the few people that remain; Alaric and his knights will fatally deplete their meager resources. Her abuse at the hands of the Saxons has left her with a desperate need to control, and a virulent fear of men. She and Alaric finally strike an uneasy bargain. Diana and her "guests" gain the unwanted attention of the bishop of Eboracum, who has cast his greedy eye on Diana's land. He decrees she must marry his Roman nephew or risk losing her family's property altogether. Diana is forced to strike yet another bargain with her Celtic adversary -- marriage.

Privately, Alaric and Diana each convince themselves they are only marrying for mutual material advantage. Alaric guards his own dark secrets, and has good reason to guard his heart. Yet he finds himself fascinated by this fierce woman who seems at once drawn to and terrified of him. And Diana learns, through his gentle tutelage, what passion means. Alaric, Diana and their people begin to work together to rebuild the estate -- until Arthur recalls Alaric to Caer Leon.

DIANA BY THE MOON easily ranks as one of the best historical romances I have read this year. Tracy Cooper-Posey deftly blends historical detail with heart-touching romance, a beautifully rendered plot and compelling characters that will haunt you for days after you read the last page.

Highly recommended for lovers of historical romance.

Fans of Tracy Cooper-Posey's diverse and unique work will be delighted to read her newest release, DIANA OF THE MOON. With the consummate skill readers have come to expect, Cooper-Posey presents a memorable tale of a woman's evolution.

Diana, daughter of the Roman Marcellus Aurelius, is named for the goddess of the moon and of the hunt. Alaric, a prince and cousin to Merlin, serves as an officer in his cousin Arthur the Pendragon's forces. If they survive, and if they can overcome their mutual enmities, they must find a way to link their destinies both for personal survival and for the survival of Britain.

The rise of Arthur brought forth the realization that the citizens of Britain who still viewed themselves as Roman citizens, as Diana's family does, must learn to look at old ways with new eyes or perish. Under Roman law a woman must marry or enter a convent when she passes marriageable age. Indeed, twenty-one year old Diana had preferred to lurk in the shadows and escape her parent's notice. But when a Saxon invasion deprives the family villa of all older members of the family, the governing of the land and its people falls to the previously ignored middle daughter. Over the course of a year, Diana creates a new place for herself in life as the leader and guardian of her household. Using her father's journals as guides, she ensures her people's survival in the face of starvation and invasion.

Arthur Pendragon brings a new hope for the future, according to Alaric. But when the soldier arrives, insistent upon setting one of a string of many beacons across Britain, Diana only acquiesces when Alaric threatens to use Roman law against her. Alaric warns of a Saxon invasion and works to unite the people of Britain under Arthur's protection. But the Roman inhabitants of Britain, abandoned for the last fifty years, still place their allegiance with Rome, scorning Britain's ... upstart.

Diana is outraged by the placement of the beacon upon her property. But she hasn't much choice when reminded that Roman women do not own property. Further, Diana soon will learn it isn't the British soldiers she need fear, but the plots of the other Roman citizens who view her position as weak, and her property ripe for the taking.

Diana's namesake, the old Roman goddess was both the hunter and the moon goddess. It will take all the skills both elements bring to overcome her adversaries, the threat of starvation, and a Saxon invasion. Not only must she protect those whom she shelters, but she must learn to trust herself and Alaric if she wishes to live a dream of equality rather than subservience. Rather than focusing on the past, as most Roman citizens do, Diana must learn to build a new future, and stay alive long enough to succeed.

Tracy Cooper-Posey has a remarkable narrative voice that lends itself perfectly to whatever genre she chooses. In her romantic tale EYES OF A STRANGER, her voice was smooth, silky with an underlying sensuality that bordered on decadence. Her Sherlock Holmes tale is almost appropriately British in tone; that is, very proper, logically articulate, and methodical.

With this marvelous tale she perfectly captures the strength of her incredible heroine in prose which is distinctive, sharp, crisp and yet powerfully feminine. This reviewer can hardly wait to see what genre this talent author tackles next; indeed, it seems nothing is beyond her pen's capacity.

Vistaria is a country on the brink of rebellion. When Calli travels to the country to be with her cousin Minnie, she is almost immediately thrown into turmoil. Aside from helping Minnie stay out of trouble, which includes keeping an eye on her and her new beau Duardo, she falls head over heels for Nick. Known as the mysterious Red Leopard, it seems Nick has feelings for Calli as well. But there is too much at stake for Nick to be involved with Calli, as the Vistarians do not favor Americans. Nick would lose any power he has if he is seen with Calli, but their attraction cannot be denied either. The two couples are caught up in the melee as the rebels strike. They are desperate to escape the danger and stay together through it all.

The Red Leopard is a story full of danger and turmoil. The longing Nick and Calli have for each other is almost overwhelming. When they finally come together, it is hot and passionate. Nick and Calli's reunion after a brief separation is a scorchingly emotional scene. It's a very sweet moment. The plot is a little slow paced in the middle, but the last part of the story is exciting. I did, however, find the ending to be somewhat anticlimactic. There are a few plot points in which the reader is left hanging. Overall The Red Leopard is a good book. It captured my interest and I found it entertaining.

This is the second book that I've read by Ms. Cooper-Posey and it was great! The characters, the setting, and even the storyline are unique and fun.

The chemistry between Calli and Nicolas is instant and it's hot, but Ms. Cooper-Posey manages to draw it out and as a result when our lovers finally get together it's beyond steaming. This is really a great story about two people who are greatly attracted to each other but can't be together because of a situation (in this case civil war for a very small country) that is beyond their control.

This story is very romantic and although this is a "romantica" story this is not a book with page after page of gratuitous sex scenes. Instead it's a story about strength and integrity, and yes, attraction.

Nicolas is the half-brother of the President of Vistaria. His country is on the brink of revolution and the last thing he needs is an instant and intense attraction to American Calli Munro. She is everything that he wants but can't have.

Callie on the other hand has just come to Vistation at the request of her uncle Josh. On her first night in town she finds herself in jail with nothing and no one and she is less then thrilled. Before she knows it she is being release after a rather intense interview with a red headed mystery man. The attraction she feels for him is more then anything that she has felt in a very long time, and when he is about to walk away she tries to hold on, but mystery man walks away with a hit of sadness in his eyes. She has no idea who her rescuer is and she can't get him out of her mind, even when she's asleep. Soon her world will collide with his and she will find out just who Nicolas really is. Even knowing she can't have him doesn't detract from their mutal attraction. Will they ever be able to act on their feelings or will threat of war keep them apart?

This was really an emotional story that was well told. The characterization was right on, and Ms. Cooper-Posey does an excellent job of keeping our interest alive while at the same time keeps our lovers apart. That is until...well, never mind I'll let you read the book! This was a great book that I highly recommend to the fan of the romance genre. Word of warning things are a little spicy then the average romantic read but it's tastefully done. Ms. Cooper-Posey is now and author I'll pick up simply because her name in on the cover.

Official Reviewer for www.romancedesigns.com

If you are looking for a sweet romance, DARE TO RETURN is sure to please.

Convincing dialogue and reactions had me rooting for the pair. Despite their stubborn pride, which comes through clearly through their actions, they both realize that their love has not diminished. Their inner struggles as they attempt to forgive and forget past mistakes are genuine and easy for the reader to appreciate. Surrounded by the descriptive narrative of coastal Australia, it was easy to imagine yourself sitting on the rocks as the surf crashed sending spray over your face.

"DARE TO RETURN is a reunion story, with a heroine who has matured and grown during the time apart. The hero is pretty much in the same spot as he used to be. Only with her advent does he start to at least question his thinking. I enjoyed the story, which has an easy tone and fairly light plot. Ms. Cooper-Posey's descriptions of the helicopters, of the rescue mission and of the Australian life in a tourist town are vivid, as is the scenery developed throughout the book. I can recommend DARE TO RETURN as a fun read, where the hero finally gets a clue."

I happened to purchase this novel and the author's previous Holmes effort, CHRONICLES OF THE MISSING YEARS, simultaneously. That was fortunate, because if I had purchased and read COTMY first, I would never have purchased another novel by this author, and so would have missed out on this one.

In short, this pastiche has everything that the first novel lacked: plot, vivid characters and characterizations, continual new developments and unexpected incidents. There's a good, scenery-chewing villain, Von Stein, and plenty of frantic action, as various secret agents practice the double- and triple-cross. As in any novel which mixes Holmes into WWI, there's not a lot of opportunity for Holmes to be Holmes--- instead, he's a rather elderly, but still spry action hero.

The novel's only liability is the return of a preposterous character from CHRONICLES, among whose many absurdly exaggerated abilities is that of being in two widely-separated locations at what is apparently the same instant, both timewise and plotwise. It is also a bit disappointing not to have Watson around, and further to be left at novel's end with no clear indication as to the current status of Mycroft Holmes.

If you don't mind some bending of the willow, you'll probably enjoy this adventure of Holmes in the middle East during the height of WWI.

I found that all of the stories in this book pretty boring. I usually like the anthology books, but this one was pretty hard to get through without yawning. Not much more i can say.
