The Twig Bookstore San Antonio, TX (my hometown)   Praise for The Echo of Violence "Dane's latest romantic thriller is heavy on thrills. The Echo of Violence piles on suspense, adrenaline, and a cacophony of emotions as the action moves from Haiti to the remote mountains of Cuba."    —Publishers Weekly "Told from multiple points of view, the fast-paced, violent story is compelling. This third in the Sweet Justice series brings in characters from previous titles including former bounty hunter, now newly trained Sentinels agent Jessie Beckett and computer-expert Seth Harper. Recommended for action fans."    —Sue O'Brien, Booklist "FIVE STARS! I thought Jordan Dane's stories were terrific before, but now I believe they are freaking brilliant! This story only covers a very short period of time, yet the entire thing is non-stop action and suspense. As I said, freaking brilliant!"    —Detra Fitch, Huntress Book Reviews "4.5 STARS—TOP PICK—The Echo of Violence was a good read for a variety of reasons. On the surface, it is a good read because of the pace, the action, and the interactions between the characters. Looking past that, the book is, for me, about choices and how what happens in life affects those choices. I enjoyed reading the book with its twists and turns, subplots like shifting sands, and the characters. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Dane in the future."    —TOP PICK, Lilyraines, Night Owl Reviews "Jordan Dane crafts nail-biting thrillers with fully-realized but very damaged characters, and plots that twist and turn and double-back to bite the unwary. Her novels are 21st Noir with guts and heart and a wicked sense of humor."    —Jonathan Maberry, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of PATIENT ZERO "The Echo of Violence, the third book in the Sweet Justice Series, is coming in September. It's on the top of my must-read list."    —Beth Solheim, Pop Syndicate "The Echo of Violence is a thriller that grips readers from the opening sequence and never slows down. Angst-laden Jackson Kinkaid owns the tale as a mercenary dealing with overwhelming issues with what he has seen and done. Readers will wonder if he's suffering from PTSD and root for him."    —The Mystery Gazette "A red-hot mixture of fiery characters and volatile conflicts are an easy indicator of Dane's continued success as she introduces the world to the third installment of her Sweet Justice series, The Echo of Violence. Circling storylines and hints of hidden agendas keep a remarkable pace with fascinating and heart-breaking results. As the layers of secrets are carefully peeled away, each smartly crafted character becomes more than words on a page. Jackson Kinkaid is a broken and private man with a long list of skeletons in his closet that he keeps closely guarded. Kincaid recognizes one gentle soul as his salvation in life and when her life is threatened—at the hands of terrorists—he will stop at nothing to save her, even if it means allowing a painful aspect of his past to resurface. With limited options, Kincaid is going to have to place his safety and trust in the hands of people he hasn't worked with in much too long. Facing the paralyzing fear of failure—and fighting a gunshot wound and raging infection—Kincaid leans on agent Alexa Marlowe, his counterpart in this impossible rescue mission as the game takes an even more dangerous turn. No longer is this less than simple extraction about saving one life, but now has deadly consequences for many. Small victories pepper this well-written thriller, but don't be fooled by what initially appears to be a `cookie-cutter' ending. The Echo of Violence isn't quite so predictable."    —John Raab, Editor, Suspense Magazine, Los Angeles, CA "Returning to the covert world of the Sentinels organization, Dane delivers a hostage drama that, sadly, could be ripped from the headlines. The protagonists in this story have plenty of baggage and trust is in short supply. Although frightening in its intensity, the atrocities in this tale also spotlight the amazing power of the human spirit. The Echo of Violence is a compelling page turner!"    —Jill M. Smith, Romantic Times Magazine "Secrets of the past bring heartache and hope. The Echo of Violence introduces readers to intriguing and exciting characters. These damaged characters have baggage yet fight for justice for those who cannot. Like the rest of Dane's books, The Echo of Violence will rest on my keeper bookshelf."    —Sabrina Marino, Fresh Fiction "The Echo of Violence is the perfect mixture of steamy romance and fast-paced mystery. As always, Ms. Dane delivers a story line that keeps you captured from the first page and beyond the last. Alexa Marlowe is a fabulous character and the heat between she and Jackson almost incinerates the book. I could not put this one down! Excellent—4 1/2 STARS."    —Kathy Fisher, The Romance Readers Connection "The third book in Jordan Dane's popular Sweet Justice series, The Echo of Violence, is a volatile and explosive ball of action and suspense. It begins with a bang as the action explodes with terror and violence right from the beginning of the story. Kinkaid is an enigma, at times he appears mercenary and at times it is obvious that his actions are fueled entirely by deep devotion and a strong sense of honor. Ex-lover Alexa Marlowe is an easier read, but throughout the book readers are kept wondering if they should be hoping for a romantic spark to reignite or if this would even be possible given their career choices. Ms. Dane does a marvelous job of dangling the possibility of a romance rekindled throughout the book and beyond. The storyline is fast paced and filled with twists and turns. The violence lends a sense of dark urgency to the story. It is obvious that even if the good Sister and her wards are rescued, no one will ever be the same afterward. The ending is unexpected and yet completely satisfying. Jordan Dane's The Echo of Violence is a volatile and fiery game of cat and mouse that will keep suspense fans eagerly anticipating more of this carefully crafted series."    —Tammy at Love Romances & More Blog "Jordan Dane has been putting out consistently excellent books and The Echo of Violence is another. A hostage situation with untrustworthy assistance, an unrelenting plot and an ass kicking lead make for a one-sitting read."    —Crimespree Magazine, Buzz Box "Action, suspense, an exotic setting and intriguing characters make this thriller one you won't be able to tear yourself away from. You've been forewarned—don't start The Echo of Violence unless you're willing to read far into the early hours of the morning."    —Curled Up with a Good Book
