I wasn’t sure that I would like Sleepwalker because I am not a big fan of books where the main characters are on the run through the book. Boy was I wrong about this one. This book will keep you on your toes with suspense from beginning to end.
Micayla (Mike) Lange is a cop spending New Years at

her Uncle Nicco’s house, when she wakes up after a nightmare. She is about ready to go back to sleep when she hears an odd noise. When she goes to investigate it, she walks into a crime scene. Jason Davis sees Mike and knows the plan has gone sour. Over the next few minutes, Mike sees something that changes her life as she knows it. Forced to make a run for it together, the two are in deep trouble with their lives in danger and not a lot of resources.
Ms. Robards does a great job keeping the suspense level high throughout the book. The chemistry between Mike and Jason is hot but in a sense somewhat forbidden. Mike is a cop and an honest one to boot, so the reader wonders how a relationship will work between the two characters. It is a romantic suspense book so you know that a romance will develop. I kept wondering how this was going to be resolved and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. There are twists and a big red herring before it all ends. I started the book and couldn’t stop. A great new book from one of my favorite authors!

This is an entertaining story. Its plot line is fresh, moves forward, and keeps the reader wondering how the H/H will resolve their differences.
At the same time though, I experienced the traitorous thought that the conflict could not possibly be resolved without first suspending one's sense of

disbelief.
When the story wrapped up, I was not particularly disappointed as all these musings remained 'true' to the end.

I really enjoyed this book. A police officer is in the wrong place at the wrong time when a house is staying in is robbed. This one event changes numerous lives and puts a cop and a thief on the same side of the law. Interesting characters. Good read.

Recently single Micayla Lange wouldn't even have been in her Uncle Nicco's house to catch Jason Davis's safecracking act if she hadn't already caught her boyfriend cheating on her. And she'd have arrested his admittedly fine hiney on the spot had he not uncovered a series of incredibly

incriminating photos of Uncle Nicco at the same time. Unfortunately, her boyfriend cheated, Jason safecracked, and the photos spilled. Now Mick and Jason are on the run through the freezing drifts of a Michigan winter with heavy hitters from the mob hot on their tails.

Long on action, a bit short on believable plot.

First book by Karen Robards, and it will not be my last. Sleepwalker is suspenseful, and sucked me in right from the beginning, an action thriller with some romantic touches. Overall, a very enjoyable read.

This was an exciting, suspenseful novel through most of the story, but the ending fell flat. The suspense builds and builds and then everything is easily resolved in the last few pages.
