Being a bartender by night and law firm runner by day helps make ends meet for Kathleen Turner. Mostly. Being 23 and single in Indianapolis wasn’t exactly a thrilling adventure, but then again, that’s not what Kathleen wanted. At least, not until she met Blane Kirk.
Navy SEAL turned high-profile attorney, Blane is everything a woman could want. The only problem? He’s her boss.
Blane is known for playing the field and the last thing Kathleen needs or wants is to get involved with him. But when her friend is murdered and it seems Kathleen will be next, she may not have a choice.
Now Blane is the only thing standing between her and people who want her dead, including assassin-for-hire Kade Dennon. Beautiful but deadly, he’ll kill anyone who gets in his way, even the woman who makes him question everything he’s become.
The deeper she sinks into the web of lies and murder, the more Kathleen realizes she can trust no one if she’s going to survive. No one is innocent. Not even Blane.

An Unforgettable Debut
By Tracy
Kathleen Turner has goals. She moved to Indianapolis to start seeing to them, but things aren't going quite as well as she'd hoped. She's a runner for a high-powered law firm in town, not the most prestigious of positions, but it and her part-time bartender gig at least pays the bills. And one of the senior partners is a dreamboat in that obscenely rich, disturbingly good looking, slightly snobbish sort of way.
Before she did a mortifying face plant in his lap during a meeting, she was quite happy ogling him from afar. After that...well...she was more about the avoiding. And hiding under her desk/in her car/etc. when she catches sight of him. Mature, no. More likely to assure she keeps her job, yes.
She's made some friends in the few months she's been in Indy. One of those friends is her neighbor Sheila. Kathleen can't say she's completely comfortable with Sheila's job choice as a high-dollar escort, but she's grown very fond of the woman.
It's the middle of the night when Kathleen is ripped out of a comfortable sleep at the sound of a loud fight coming from Sheila's apartment. As disturbing as that is, it's the ominous sound of silence afterwards that raises the hair on Kathleen's arms and prevents her from falling back to sleep. Slipping from bed with the intention of making sure everything is okay, Kathleen makes it all the way across to her friend's door and knocks.
The door swinging open under her knock is first sign that something isn't right. Sheila's blood-soaked, throat-slashed body, laid out in her bedroom on sheets still dripping viscous fluid, is the clincher.
Shock and horror are followed quickly by gritty determination when it becomes clear that Sheila's death isn't random, and it isn't the result of a jealous boyfriend. It's the opening gambit in a web of murder, deceit, conspiracy, and fraud that stretches to the law firm for which Kathleen works. Maybe to the very office that Blane Kirk, gorgeous, rich, slightly snobbish Blane Kirk, commands.
And Kathleen Turner, law office runner, may have just become the next target.

Wow. Okay. This is one hell of a book. The plot is chock full of twists and turns, diabolical in its direction and misdirection, confounding in its conspiracies and conflicts. And it's a whole lotta story crammed into all those pages.
The most confounding aspect of all is how much I thoroughly enjoyed the read, despite several elements that are usually big time deal breakers for me. Some of those are nothing more than personal reading preferences, others are the more significant story elements that severely impacted my willing suspension of disbelief.
All of them added up SHOULD have made this book a fail for me. It didn't.
I have no fondness for love triangles, and the one hinted at here was a big problem for me. I am even less enamored of heroines who have every guy in the book panting after them. Especially in this book, where it is established early by Kathleen herself that men like Blane "didn't give me the time of day." All evidence to the contrary on that one, as almost every male character wanted Kathleen. Even the ones who wanted her dead afterwards.
I'm also not a fan of inconsistent characters, I loathe blatant stupidity, and emotional retardation is a close second on the hate-o-meter. Kathleen hits on all those traits more than once.
Then there are the story elements that gave me problems. The building blocks of any read. I know not everyone is as anal as I am about plausibility and logic, but they are major stumbling blocks for me. I was never able to rationalize Kathleen's involvement in the events of the book. She's a runner in a law firm, for pity's sake, and a part-time bartender, not Jason Bourne. Most of the action in the story happens to her because she throws herself into situations she is utterly without the resources or experience to handle.
As the daughter of a cop who purportedly raised Kathleen with a respect for the law (until he died when she was fifteen), she showed a disturbing lack of faith in law enforcement on more than one occasion. On the other hand, the elements of police procedure, thankfully few and brief, were so unrealistic that I couldn't really blame her for that one. The justification for her involvement - that Kathleen knows how overworked and short staffed the police force is, so keeping vital information from them, solving two homicides, and uncovering a massive conspiracy on her own is the better option - is, I'm sorry to say, ludicrous. Kathleen has an unrealistic, over-inflated sense of responsibility to solve the murders of a casual friend and a mere acquaintance. Oh, and it's just bizarre that the mere acquaintance turns to Kathleen for help and hands over vitally sensitive information to her as if she were his last hope (in a very Pelican Brief moment).
She's a law office runner...and a bartender. Part-time. She's a girl from nowhere Indiana who has been in the big city for a handful of months. She's led a sheltered life to date. It just doesn't make sense that she'd be in the positions she gets herself into in this book. And making sense is a big deal for me. Or it always has been, before this book.
This damned book.
This book that broke my brain a little, but wouldn't let me dislike it. The book that, despite everything, was so carefully plotted and ingeniously crafted that I was swept up right along with the nearly criminally incompetent Kathleen. I loved this book. I should've hated it and I loved it. I loved Kathleen. She may not have made sense in the role, but she was gawky, idiotic at times, obstinate, plucky, and dedicated. Daring in the face of danger, timid in the shadow of affection, she didn't trust wisely, she trusted too easily, she was fickle, she was loyal. She was a mess and she got the job done.
I loved her, and more than once I wanted to kill her myself. She was a delightful, frustrating, enchanting, and infuriating contradiction.
The bad boys of crime and punishment, Blane and Kade, were...well...they were something. I was more than a little in awe of how, with such a deft and seemingly effortless hand, Snow kept these two shady characters cloaked in mystery, their motives murky, their intentions unclear. They are such complex, complicated, cunning characters and knowing them brings such fascinating twists and turns and ups and downs. I loved them, too.
The plot-driven aspects of the story were brilliantly executed and richly vibrant with danger, suspense, conspiracy, murder, and mayhem. The narrative was smoothly sophisticated, polished and intelligent. It's no secret that independently published books are hit-and-miss in that regard. This one is a hit. Characters were very well developed and three dimensional, and descriptions were vivid and easy to visualize. There were moments of humor that made me chuckle out loud, tense scenes that had me on the edge of my seat, and disturbing events that pissed me off on the characters' behalf.
This book has driven me a little nuts, actually. I can't help but know - know deep down - that I shouldn't like it. From every other book I've read and all my experience viewing and identifying critical book issues, I should not like this book. Yet I did. I more than liked it. I couldn't put it down. Usually, when the good parts of a book outweigh the less positive points, the blend of both balances out my overall opinion of the read. Not so in this case. No, in this case, the good parts were so darn good, the plot so well done, the characters and their relationships so appealing, that all the less positive and downright confounding parts just didn't matter at all. Damn it.
No Turning Back is a fantastic adventure, and I, for one, can't wait to see what comes next from Tiffany A. Snow. Even if it, too, frustrates me almost as much as it delights me.

Definite Must Read!
By phoenixrayn07
The title of this book is very appropriate- once you start to read Tiffany Snow's premiere novel there is absolutely no turning back from her work!
This author is going to take the world by storm! I spent an entire day devouring this book, and as soon as I was finished with it I wanted to read it all over again. I love romantic suspense novels but typically find that they either have great romance with a sub-par mystery or vice versa, but No Turning Back delivers on all fronts! This book is equal parts romance, mystery, and suspense. There's intense romance, a true mystery, incredible suspense, and wonderful and sexy characters to boot. Not to mention that her protagonist, Kathleen, is one of the most relatable main characters I've read in a long time. What is most appealing about Kathleen is that her involvement in the action makes total and complete sense. You can completely see how an "average" woman could get pulled into the fray and get involved with solving the mystery and unveiling the truth. Kathleen's naivety, desire to see the good in everyone, and her fierce loyalty are just some of the characteristics that makes her so unique.
No Turning Back has a wonderful storyline that honestly keeps you guessing from start to finish. Both Kathleen and the reader struggle throughout the entire novel wondering who can be trusted. There is nothing predictable in this novel. Once you begin to think that you know who can be trusted and why things are happening, Snow throws another curve ball and leaves you wondering what is going to happen and how everything is going to make sense in the end. No Turning Back has so many layers that made absolutely and complete sense by the end, things that I had written off until I saw how they fit in and every time that happened I wanted to hit myself on the head for not seeing it coming.
Snow also has such a talent for developing characters that are so incredibly appealing. There are a few men in this novel that Kathleen finds herself involved with and somehow Snow has the ability to make each and every one of them desirable. Unlike other romance novels with multiple suitors, you really find yourself wishing that all of them could win the girl in the end. Not to mention that there are plenty of steamy and yummy encounters that leave you breathless and wanting more!!
Tiffany Snow leaves you eager for more of her work and most importantly, more of her wonderful characters! I'll be waiting impatiently to read more of her work!!

I cringed...
By Celine Derudder
I bought this book because I liked the beginning, downloaded as a free sample. I was also encouraged by the amount of positive reviews.
It starts well - think "The Firm" or any John Grisham book - with young Kathleen juggling a starter's job at a law firm and a bartending one in the evenings. Plenty of men (all god-handsome apparently) and a horrific murder.
But then, it seemed to me the story morphs into a collection of violent-versus-sexy moments between Kathleen, the main character, and the different dark, mysterious men in her life. I really had a problem with Kathleen's responsiveness to men who were, mere seconds ago, ruthless or even threatening with her , it was a hardly believable reaction. (Or a very twisted, unhealthy one).
Plus, the sheer number of such encounters : attack/threat/sneer followed by breathlessness, weak knees and physical desire - became a little silly to me (I mean how many times can you faint and be carried in a gorgeous man's arms and/or be almost raped, over the course of a week?)
So, I thought that part went really over the top. It spoiled the story for me, I'm definitely not reading the rest of the series.
