A Very Annoying Heroine (2007-08-07)
This was my first book by this author and I was very disappointed. While she does get a A++ for her research of the locale and Cajun dialect, I found the heroine , Laurel Chandler to be very annoying. If she was going to rehash her past experience as a DA and the case that lead to her downfall one more time I was ready to put the book in the trash. I wanted to scream, Get Over It and Move on! The rest of the characters , including Jack (who I failed to find appealing or sexy) were fair to midland. I found myself intrigued with what the handsome DA Steven was wearing. His wardrobe sounded straight from GQ. So much for the story!Tami, Tami, Tami…sigh (2007-05-01)
I have read a number of books by Tami Hoag and have pretty much enjoyed them all. Some I have enjoyed more than others, but generally, it is pretty safe to pick up one of her books and expect a good work with interesting characters and heroes and heroines you might actually care about. Laurel and Jack are difficult to care about. Since when are charm and obnoxious the same thing? Jack (es-corporate lawyer - what a hoot) and Laurel (Wallowing in self pity and self martyrdom-Get over it! Watch Law & Order. Even Jack McCoy loses a case now and then) Savannah? Let us not go there. She was so completely unlikable…I think the only mystery is why someone hadn’t killed her earlier. I kept going in this book only because of Hoag’s other works. This one was the earliest work by her that I have read. You know what this means, right? This is one of her Prior Bad Acts. Sorry. Anyway, this is not her best work. Had this been the first Tami Hoag book I had read, I would have not tried another. Fortunately it was not the first for me.Not my favorite Hoag book (2007-03-12)
Cry Wolf involves the unlikely relationship between two characters because of their “baggage.” This wasn’t my favorite Hoag book because I found the lead characters hard to really like. Now there have been other books with bad boys that slowly draw you in, but in this one, Jack is different. Laurel was okay and Savannah was a great character that I could visualize as well as many of the other lesser characters. Trademark Hoag style threads itself throughout the book which makes it worth finishing, but to recommend a Hoag book, this would not be it.Engrossing Southern romantic thriller (2006-08-03)
Cry Wolf is the first Tami Hoag book I’ve ever read. The story takes place in the wonderfully evocative setting of small-town Louisiana. Attorney Laurel Chandler returns home to lick her wounds after her divorce and the loss of a case involving abused children which led to her being dubbed the prosecutor who cried wolf. She moves in with her aunt and man-loving sister Savannah and meets Jack, best-selling horror writer and all-round cad. The story starts slowly focusing on Jack and Laurel’s budding romance, including an incident where Jack, who’s a little too fond of his bourbon and a manslut, almost crashes a car nearly killing both of them. Laurel seems a little too fond of whining and playing the victim.

Fortunately the pace speeds up after tragedy strikes close to home and Jack and Laura team up to bring the murderer to justice. A suspenseful ending and a plethora of interesting characters make up for the deficiencies of the main characters.not my favourite (2006-07-20)
it was a slow start to this book, i keep expecting hoag to grab my attention from the first sentence like her other books but it did not happened here…

the mystery part came late in this book and when it came, i was excited..here was laurel trying to get a fresh start but was drawn into the murder case involving women who “deserved to die because they slept around” which aso involved her sister..

the plot was interesting, the killer was playing a game with her, letting know who he was and when laurel knew who it was, she could not do anything not only due to lack of evidence but also lack of credibility as she was previously labelled as “the lawyer who cried wolf”

i was really excited to know how laurel’s going to pull it off but it was dissapointing on how it all ends…i expected more from hoag…

it could’ve been better
