Reviews

"Molly O'Keefe's Family at Stake (4) is an interesting story with a plot that will easily hold reader attention.  Her depiction of a troubled teen is spot on." -- Romantic Times

"In recent years I've read a lot more series romance.  The main reason is probably just that I have been busier, and a shorter, quick read often appeals to me.  Family at Stake is a meatier book, though, dealing with such weighty matters as abuse, child protective services, and troubled teenagers.  Light and fluffy it isn't, but I enjoyed it very much nonetheless.

I would encourage anyone to pick this one up, even if you don't typically read series romance.  It's more than a series romance, and more than an "issue" book.  It's an engaging read about characters you can really care about, and definitely worth a look." -- Blythe Barnhill, All About Romance

"Its realistic and strongly written characters make Family at Stake a winner. Very intense family situations, both in Mac's present and his and Rachel's pasts, keep this book interesting and fast moving. I am looking forward to reading more by Molly O'Keefe, who has what it takes to write a riveting contemporary romance, dealing with real people and real problems." -- Marie Hashima Lofton, BookLoons

"The second chance at love subplot supplements a strong family drama." -- Harriet Klausner, Midwest Book Reviews
