Hurricane Crimes rode on the shoulders of Beth and Donovan while
they’re stuck together during a hurricane. Only one other person, a bad
guy, makes an appearance and that’s near the end of the story. But in Seismic Crimes, many characters make appearances, and Thorn is definitely my favorite.
Thorn is a detective for the Orlando Police Department. He works
sting operations and helps to bring down drug dealers. The case he’s on now is
Ryan Goldwyn’s murder. He’s working with Donovan, Officer Burnett, and the Chief
of Police to hunt down David Buckland, the killer who escaped.
Thorn is funny. He pushes Donovan’s buttons for sport and flirts
with Beth, but he’s also their friend on the inside and the one who comes to
their aid throughout the series.

Quote #1:
He shook his head. “I’m fantasizing about taking you home.”
“Careful, she’s not alone.”
Donovan opened his eyes. Thorn had his arm around Beth’s shoulders. “And you’re still touching my girlfriend.”
“That’s because I’m trying to steal her away from you.”
Quote #2:
“Finally,” Beth said. “Now I can get my bikini.”
“A bikini?”
Donovan rounded on Thorn, ready to hit him. “Why the hell are you
so excited about that?”
“I’m just happy Beth will have her bikini.”
“Watch it,” Donovan warned.
“That’s good advice. I will watch it.” Thorn’s grin was wolfish.
“Let’s go.”
Hi Chrys .. Thorn sounds rather interesting ... but he needs to be careful: Donovan sounds a jealous type ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI never thought of Donovan as jealous. He's protective and doesn't like other men getting close to Beth...maybe that could be jealousy. haha
DeleteSo I am in chapter five of the book and am not reading this post, lol.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I don't think there's too much of a spoiler from his quotes here, but I appreciate it. I hope you're enjoy it!
DeleteI will watch it - funny!
ReplyDeleteHe has some of the best lines.
DeleteGreat choice for Thorn. I love the cutie.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
I adore him. ;)
DeleteThorn may need a little shove into the earthquake epicenter lol
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! That cracked me up. :P
DeleteThorn would be the guy I would go for. He probably has that wicked smile too.
ReplyDeleteHe does have that wicked smile! ;)
DeleteGreat one-liners from Thorn there! I'm sure Donovan thinks he's a good guy really.
ReplyDeleteHe is a good guy. They become best friends. :)
DeleteI loved Detective Thorn as well, Chrys. He is an incurable flirt and I think deep down attracted to Beth. He kind of gives the story some comic relief too. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteAn incurable flirt. That is him! haha The comic relief part was my goal with his light flirtations and humor. You'll see more of his relationship with Beth in the next story. There are excellent moments with him.
DeleteI do indeed like Thorn:) And what a perfect name since he seems to be a thorn in the side:)
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I never thought of his name like that. ;P
DeleteAnother vote for Det Thorn!
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteI love Thorn!
ReplyDeleteI like to hear that. :)
DeleteI don't know. From those snippets, it's too hard to tell. How he behaves all the time would tell me if in those snippets I'd smile and laugh or growl.
ReplyDeleteThe people who have read Seismic Crimes seem to like him. I did make him very likable. :)
DeleteThese are fun. I think I'd like him.
ReplyDeleteI think you would, too. :)
DeleteMost enjoyable and clever. Every time I see your book cover it erminds me of one of mine I have The Goldengate Bridge on the back.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
The Golden Gate Bridge is an amazing piece of scenery. :)
DeleteGreat line about "Watching"!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteFirstly, I love your question! Um...I think Thorn is probably okay because I think there's more to his need to bug Donovan than simply the girl. I could be wrong, though.
ReplyDeleteHe truly gets a kick out of bugging Donovan. They're like brothers. :)
DeleteAnyone trying that blatantly to 'steal' my lady would get a sock in the mouth, but he still seems like a fun guy. ;)
ReplyDeleteHAHA! It's all in good fun. :D
DeleteLoved the quotes.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI'd love the name even if it didn't also describe him! Thorn is clever kindle for Donovan's fire for Beth. Great quotes, too ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny because I didn't even name him because of that. He became his name. ;)
DeleteI love that you have an A to Z series of stories! Very fun!
