Jordan Dane's Debut novel:

"...a dynamite debut... Dane's smooth style, believable characters and intense pacing will remind readers of Lisa Jackson, Lisa Gardner and Tami Hoag. While Dane's debut is being marketed as romantic suspense, it crosses over into plain thriller country: the tight plotting and the male characters are exceptional, bad guys and good."
   —Publishers Weekly

"A new romantic suspense talent has arrived, and readers are going to experience back-to-back releases of her first three books. Pulling no punches with this exciting debut, Dane quickly establishes her credentials as a promising new star. A tough, driven heroine and a sexy, mysterious hero give this story plenty of cutting-edge action and riveting suspense. HOT."
   —Romantic Times Book Reviews—Four Stars—A Compelling Page Turner

"Terrific debut. Jordan Dane has got the goods and she delivers them with a knock out ending. Another great new author to watch."
   —Crimespree Magazine, March/April 2008, The Buzz Box

"The first NO ONE romantic suspense thriller is an exciting police procedural. Jordan Dane provides a powerful opening tale with two to follow."
   —Gumshoe Review—A Literary Investigation—April 2008

"Plenty of reviews will tell you what the book is about, but I want to talk about how this book made me feel. NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM is in that category of book that you don't want to put down, yet should fate or the vagaries of life require you to, you can't stop thinking about it while you're doing other things. Not only will it interrupt your sleep—in that delicious way thrillers do—but it will distract you as you do the dishes, drive to work, walk the dog. (Or, if you're me, you'll read and walk the dog at the same time!)
   NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM is fast-paced, with compelling characters and genuinely creepy villains. It grabs you by the throat from the first page and doesn't let go. Becca commands your attention through the wends and winds of her investigation of the death of a young woman found sealed up in a theatre wall even as the mysterious Diego commands hers. Through it all, this disappearance of her sister haunts and drives her. The multiple plots twist and weave, draw you in and hang on tight.
   My recommendation? Start it when you know you've got enough time to finish it. And then, lucky you (and lucky me), Jordan Dane's next book is only a month away."
   —5 STARS—Award Winning Author Bill Cameron—LOST DOG & KILLER YEAR: STORIES TO DIE FOR

"Cold Case, hot romance, and one awesome suspense read from a debut author! Jordan Dane's debut novel is a smash hit. She shows the heights of what an author can do in the Romantic Suspense genre. Her lead character, Detective Becca Montgomery, reaches beyond herself to the victims of these horrific crimes. Her search for justice—to bring compassion to the families, to speak for the victims, and the look inside herself and her own pain—brings an unexpected almost spiritual light, a kind of love brought to the pursuit of justice against crime. Even the villains are well developed and increasingly intriguing as Jordan Dane reveals the alliances that connect them. Despite its release early in the year, No One Heard Her Scream is already on my list of the top 2008 reads. Not only is Jordan Dane a welcome new voice but undoubtedly a future award winning author whose works will be marked in readers' heart for a place on their keeper shelves."

"No One Heard Her Scream is a fantastic story from debut author Jordan Dane. The book sizzles with romance and the suspense had me on the edge of my seat. From the first page to last, I couldn't put it down, it was an engaging story with wonderful characters and it's definitely one of the best books I've ever had the pleasure of reading! I very much look forward to her next book."
—Wendy at Night Owl Romance: TOP PICK—Five Hearts—Lifetime Keeper

"Strokes every Nerve! This is a book that I could easily sum up with one word: Excellent. Excellent grit. Excellent vulnerability. Excellent suspense. And excellent voice. All neatly packaged in a drama that strokes every nerve and emotion. This is writing at its best. The kind that takes your emotions and intelligence on a wild ride and doesn't let go until its finished with you. And I don't think Jordan Dane is anywhere near finished with us."
—Clover Autrey, author— www.paranormalromance.org

"Ingenious plots, super twists and intricate turns is this mind boggling novel. The fact that the answer to the mystery is not easily fathomed is a mystery in itself, as the clues are cleverly disguised. I thought I had my finger on the culprit, but I was proved wrong. The characters are all well defined that I allowed myself to grow fond of one in particular! The novel is one to sink your teeth into. Dane fascinates and quickens the pulse. Readers will be kept in suspense. A great `who-dunnit' that Dane should be proud of."
   —Delores, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance

"Jordan Dane blazes onto the scene with an incredibly powerful and intense book! No One Heard Her Scream is...guaranteed to wring emotions out of the reader. ...A fantastic suspense thriller...a powerful story of redemption. No One Heard Her Scream also brings to light a very dark crime...the descriptions are quite graphic and even a bit eerie as Jordan Dane paints some horrifically vivid pictures of this appalling crime. ...A tough read emotionally, but it is well worth each and every moment."
   —5 Klover Review—Debbie—CK2S Kwips and Kritiques

"Jordan Dane is a mistress of the metaphor and a sorceress of the simile. She uses words as a weapon and the pace never stops. Her characters and their personalities seem as if drawn by a modern day Chandler. Her sense of place is delightful as the flavor of San Antonio comes alive within the pages. This romantic suspenser is a must-read for the genre."
   —Glenn Walker—Welcome to Hell—Pop Culture Reviews

"Jordan Dane is a talented new author who will make her mark with her debut novel, No One Heard Her Scream. This was a riveting read that grabbed me immediately from the first page. I was emotionally invested with the characters—not only the hero and heroine, who were heroic in every sense of the word, but also the missing and dead girls, who needed justice. I anticipate a phenomenal career for this new author."
   —Kathy Andrico—KathysReviewCorner.com

"Author Jordan Dane has set a very strong foundation for the "NO ONE" trilogy. Whether you are a fan of Romantic Suspense or Crime Scene Thrillers you will not be disappointed. I have never read this author before now, but I will definitely be keeping my eye on her. If Jordan Dane's writing stays this good, I see wonderful things in her future. Excellent!" FIVE STARS
