The Last Resort:

"A fine blend of mystery and romance." --Kirkus Review - May 1, 2009

A fast-paced and entertaining tale! If you've ever wondered what wackos might visit an RV campground, pick up a copy of The Last Resort. Murder, romance, and potluck dinners will whet your appetite for more from this talented author.”Nancy J. Cohen - Author of KILLER KNOTS: A Bad Hair Day Mystery

"Author April Star weaves a compelling tale of honor and betrayal."  Carolyn Hart - Best Selling Author of Death of Demand, Henrie O, and the new Bailey Ruth Raeburn Mystery Series.

"The whodunit is terrific as is the insider’s look at an RV park, which brings out a horde of differing characters who enhance the investigation. THE LAST RESORT is an enjoyable mystery with a wonderful late twist." --Harriet Klausner


 Tropical Warnings:

"TROPICAL WARNINGS is a non stop love story of intrigue, unexpected pleasures, and dangers. David and Laura are two very strong and passionate characters that know how to go the distance in the efforts to stop the stalker that is terrorizing their lives and existence. April Star knows how to keep her readers glued to the pages in this intense tale as she brings her characters and events to life." -- Briana Burress, RomanceJunkies.com

"In TROPICAL WARNINGS the cast of engaging characters, including a terrific hero and heroine, an anonymous stalker/villain with murder in mind, and lots of cliffhanger action, provide a real page-turner with a perfect blend of romance and suspense. The fresh background for the Wanderlust series--the RV setting is introduced in this debut novel by April Star--should give readers many more no-limits, on-the-edge-of-your-seat moments in coming books." --Leigh Riker – Harper Monagram and Harlequin Intrigue

"In TROPICAL WARNINGS, love and intrigue stalk Laura Madison, the breath-taking manager of a camping resort in the Florida Keys. Her one hope for survival is David Jennings, the handsome martial arts expert who knows first-hand how dangerous stalkers can be. It becomes his mission to save her, as, together, they ferret out the truth and fall in love in this romantic tale of suspense." --Judy Fitzwater, Author of the Jennifer Marsh Mysteries and No Safe Place

"TROPICAL WARNINGS has it all--romance, suspense and an intriguing peek into the world of resort management." – Sylvie Kurtz – Silhouette Bombshell and Harlequin Intrigue Author
