ABOUT THE BOOK:
WHO DO YOU LOVE?
One question, a split-second decision, and Brian Darby lies dead on the kitchen floor. His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defense, and bears the bruises to back up her tale. For veteran detective D. D. Warren it should be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter?

His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defense, and bears the bruises to back up her tale. For veteran detective D. D. Warren it should be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter?
AND HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO . . .
As the homicide investigation ratchets into a frantic statewide search for a missing child, D. D. Warren must partner with former lover Bobby Dodge to break through the blue wall of police brotherhood, seeking to understand the inner workings of a trooper’s mind while also unearthing family secrets. Would a trained police officer truly shoot her own husband? And would a mother harm her own child?

Would a trained police officer truly shoot her own husband? And would a mother harm her own child?
. . . TO SAVE HER?
For Tessa Leoni, the worst has not yet happened. She is walking a tightrope, with nowhere to turn, no one to trust, as the clock ticks down to a terrifying deadline. She has one goal in sight, and she will use every ounce of her training, every trick at her disposal, to do what must be done. No sacrifice is too great, no action unthinkable. A mother knows who she loves. And all others will be made to pay.

PRAISE FOR BEST-SELLER LOVE YOU MORE:
“One of the best thriller writers in the business has written her best book to date.” —Associated Press
“Having already produced a dozen successful thrillers, Gardner proves herself not only a very clever storyteller here, capable of pulling together a complicated series of events, but also a writer able to invest her characters (particularly her female ones) with emotional substance. Compelling and unexpected, this tale of mystery and maternal devotion shows Gardner at her very best.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Gardner's characters are fully drawn…and her taut storytelling and dizzying plot will appeal to fans of Harlan Coben.” —Library Journal (starred review)
"This book had me at the author’s name. Lisa Gardner…no one owns this corner of the genre the way she does—And Love You More might be her best ever."
—Lee Child
"Tessa Leoni is a dedicated single mom when she is swept away by a man who turns out to be the wrong guy. Emotionally true, harrowing, and unputdownable. Brava, Lisa Gardner!"
—Lisa Scottoline
"A heart-pounding tale of family drama by the Mozart of thriller writers. I could not tear myself away."
—Tess Gerritsen
"I dare you to try and put this book down. Gardner does her homework and loads this thriller chockfull of authentic details, giving readers a front seat ride that will leave you gasping."
—Alex Kava
"Crisp prose, crackling plots, layered characters. A stickler for detail. Lisa Gardner is the best female thriller writer working today."
—Steve Berry
"Lisa Gardner’s books come with a built-in set of hands. They reach up out of the pages, grab you by the lapels, and hold you until you’ve read to the final, suspense-filled sentence. And Love You More is no exception."
—Linwood Barclay
“It has the chills and thrills to excite, and the heart to draw you in.”
—Sandra Brown

I haven’t read any of Lisa Gardner’s novels or any of her romance novels under the name of Alicia Scott. This thriller really sounds intriguing … then I read what Lee Child said about this book and I am going to read this one way or another. I love Lee Child novels so I have a lot respect for his praise of this novel. Thanks for opportunity.

One of my favorite Lisa Gardner thrillers is The Perfect Husband.

I have been reading good reviews of this book and the Booklist starred review is another good one! Thanks for the chance to win!

I enjoyed reading about Lisa's terribly normal upbringing. And here's yet another author picked up and launched by Harlequin. Very interesting!
JHolden955(at)gmail(dot)com
Wow! The author received some very high praise from her fellow authors. I think the one review that sealed it for me was the one from Alex Kava who said, "I dare you to try and put this book down." and "...a front seat ride that will leave you gasping." Any book that receives such praise has GOT to be a must read!

Although I am familiar with this author, I have not had the pleasure of reading any of her books yet. However, the one that continually captures my attention is "The Perfect Husband". I enjoy books about cops-turned-bad and the women who love them.

First of all, the synopsis for this book sounds absolutely RIVETING. I am definitely into mysteries and thrillers, so this book is right up my alley! Plus, with praise like this coming from Steve Berry, one of my most favorite authors:

The first two things I noticed on the author's website was how absolutely piercing and beautiful the authors eyes are,and she has a real cool jacket on. LOL :P
I also discovered that the author also wrote under the nom de plume of Alica Scott, and that I now ALSO want to read her novel "The Perfect Husband"! :)

I'd like to read The Perfect Husband and pretty much all of her books. They all sound pretty good!
What makes me want to read the book is when I read about unearthing family secrets. I love reading about secrests.

I find it interesting that Lisa has written 13 romance novels, before writing suspense. She also has 2 barky shelties, and a three-legged cat.
