WITH THE STRENGTH TO CRY is an intriguing blend of suspense, action, and romance that grabs a reader with its first paragraph and never lets go. Big city K-9 cop Catlene "Cat" Farr will capture your heart, and her amazing dog, Wrangler, proves a brave and faithful companion.

Cat is a marvelous heroine for the 21st century, strong, intelligent, and self-sufficient, but there's something missing from her life. When she arrives in tiny Huxley, Montana and meets Hunt McIan, the man she's been sent to protect, she finds that missing piece, though it takes her awhile to realize it, because she's immediately caught up in a wild ride through a maze of lies, conspiracies, secrets, and puzzles.

Ms. Garza captures the "law enforcement mind set" very, very well. She has a talent for creating characters so real that they walk off the pages, and action scenes of such intensity that they leave a reader gasping for breath.

Excellent!
