Your Saving Grace
"The story is well-paced with excellent dialogue,
intriguing suspense, and an exciting ending. Of special
interest are the protagonists who are a little older
than in your usual romantic suspense, but sexy and still
in their prime. YOUR SAVING GRACE is a tale to enjoy and
savor. This reviewer will be looking for more books by
this talented author." ~Marilyn Heyman
"The world that YOUR SAVING GRACE envelops you in will
leave you curious
and astounded as the case of Hannah's attacker unwinds.
Hannah is as tenderhearted as she is bullheaded, while
Jude learns to love for the first time by her example.
J. L. Wilson did an excellent job keeping me guessing
until the very end of the 'who done it' story. Comprised
of great writing and a wonderful story, YOUR SAVING
GRACE isn't to be missed. Thumbs up for J L Wilson
for writing a shocking end!"
~Lacey
"Adorable cats,
police corruption, and Spongebob Squarepants play roles in
the novel of grown-up romance and suspense. Wilson’s
characters are realistic and likable. She knows that
grown-ups can be just as insecure as teenagers and she knows
how to plot the twists and turns of a fine mystery. The
climax is filled with danger and action, and the loose ends
are tied up nicely."
~ Lynn Bushey
Brownies, Bodies, and Breaking
the Code
"The
tension builds to a suspenseful finale, and the reader
is made to really care about Jessie and Gus. The
supporting cast is also intriguing, and it is difficult
for Jessie (and the reader) to discern the truth early
on. These are mature characters. Gus is a silver-haired
professorial type and Jessie is 51 years old. I love it
that she is a topnotch computer gal, up on modern
technology. She can also be a bit flaky, and I like
that, too. Gus is secretive, but tender, and attractive
in a somewhat nerdy fashion. J L Wilson has created an
original story, peopled by a highly original
cast."

If Not For You
"I’m finding this review hard to write because while I
don’t want to give anything away, I want to tell all.
“If Not For You” is funny. It is a sexy, fast-paced,
keep-you-guessing mystery.
... Yes, the characters are a little older, closer to
same age to each other and myself, but it still boils
down to the writing.
Ms. Wilson has written a one of the most electrifying
female leads I’ve read in some time." ~
Christine Speakman
"IF NOT FOR YOU contains healthy doses of excitement,
suspense, romance,
humor—everything you need for a great romantic
adventure/suspense story. I found the characters
heartwarming in their sincerity and realistic in their
emotions
and reactions. Max's character really grows and a
profound way, as does Layla's
character. They are both characters the reader will
identify with and understand.
I
loved all the secondary characters as well, and could
not have been happier with the outcome of this story.
The suspense had me guessing all the way through, and I
truly could not put this one down until I read every
last word. It's really one of those books that just make
you feel good! The storyline is compelling and keeps you
from putting the book down. A great read!" ~
Maria Shaink
"If Not for You by JL Wilson is a wonderfully quirky
romantic suspense. Layla’s character seems flighty and
very causal but her personality masks her intelligence
and her tender heart. Max just seems uptight and doesn’t
know how to relax—yet! The clash of these two
personalities is fun. They are not only opposites; they
are stubborn, both have been hurt, and neither wants to
risk serious involvement. The story also contains a
number of fun secondary characters to add to the
entertainment. But while all this fun is going on,
someone is still trying to harm Max and Layla and the
underlying threat of harm keeps you, the reader, on your
toes wondering what will happen next."
