“Dangerous Affairs is a novel that should be read by anyone who finds herself on the verge of becoming, or is already, trapped in domestic violence. Ms. Riley has done us all a tremendous service by writing this novel and should be applauded for her efforts. The story is one of ultimate triumph and Ms. Riley tells it with refreshing sensitivity.”
–Lisa G., Board Member, Southwest Women Working Together, a Chicago organization that strives to help women and children overcome domestic violence.
“Ms. Riley’s accurate portrayal of domestic abuse should be a must read for all women, especially those who think it can never happen to them.”
–D. Stybr, NCSP, school psychologist
“Kelle Z. Riley’s debut novel, Dangerous Affairs, is not only a heartwarming and mesmerizing page-turner but a must-read for all women. A remarkable read.”
–M. Greene, RWA’s Bookseller of the Year, 2004
“This author was a finalist in the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart contest-and deservedly so! The characters-even the bad guy-are real people with real motivations. The author’s own experience with martial arts adds depth to the book without overpowering the romance. The dialogue is true to life, sparkling, and wonderful. Kelle Riley understands her characters, but that’s not all. The suspense is there from page one and builds all the way through to the end. (Have I said enough to get you to understand I really loved this book?) Take a chance on this one. 5 Stars”
–Ann M. Beardsley, reviewer, Scribes World
“From the start I was so in tune with these characters! The author puts the reader in Amanda’s shoes and I felt her fear and pain. Ms. Riley does an excellent job of setting the pace so that you’re anxious to find out what happens next. I’m going to look for more books by this author. 4 ½ Kisses.”
–D. D. Blackman, reviewer, Romance Divas
“Riley’s strong writing won her finalist status with the Romance Writer’s of America Golden Heart. DANGEROUS AFFAIRS is a moving story by an exciting author. 4 Stars.”
–Rob Preece, BooksforaBuck.com
“A complex plot, fascinating characters, and ultra smooth writing make Dangerous Affairs, and affair to remember.”
–Denise Swanson, nationally bestselling author of the Scumble River Mysteries
“Dangerous Affairs will probably rate as one of my “best of 2007” reads when all is said and done. Even this early in the year I know not much will be able to compare….What a powerful… and empowering… novel! Kelle Z Riley strikes you deep in the heart with Dangerous Affairs. She brilliantly weaves a tale of two wounded people who come together to find that the only way to heal is by facing their fears together. When I say Dangerous Affairs was empowering, I really truly believe it is. People need to be even more aware of the sad reality of domestic violence.… Riley brilliantly tackles this delicate subject. If reading about someone else’s circumstances, even in a fictional setting, helps just one woman find the courage to defend herself and escape an abusive relationship, then that is something of which to be proud. All women should read this book. 5 shamrocks.”
–Kelley A. Hartsell, CK2S Kwips and Kritiques
