Product Description
Fueled by an obsession to fill the void in other people’s lives, Milla Edge finds lost children—all the while trying to outrun the brutal emotions stemming from a tragedy in her past. Traveling to a small village in Mexico on a reliable tip, Milla begins to uncover the dire fate of countless children who have disappeared in the labyrinth of a sinister baby-smuggling ring. The key to nailing down the organization may rest with an elusive one-eyed man. As Milla’s search for him intensifies, the mission becomes more treacherous. For the ring is part of something far larger and more dangerous, reaching the highest echelons of power. Racing into peril, Milla suddenly finds herself the hunted—in the crosshairs of an invisible, lethal assassin who aims to silence her permanently.

 This is one of her best June 27, 2008

This is one of the best she's written since after she wrote Kill and Tell. This story grabbed me from the first chapter. It made me angry, it made me cry. It made me go kiss all my own kids and say a prayer for all that I have. I totally forgot that this was fantasy while reading this work. This author is sensational. This book is why she is my favorite. She did not disappoint.

This is my first book by this author and I couldn't put it down. I especially liked Diaz - talk about your strong silent type! Yum!

The first 100 pages and the last 80 were full of grieving and sorrow. I was crying more than I liked. Milla's infant in stolen from her and she is searching for 10 years for him. Then she meets Diaz an assassin who helps her. With his help she gets answers and they develop a relationship. This part of the story was good. I loved the Diaz character. There were a couple of lines about Diaz that intrigued me, which follow. "women tended to be afraid of him. He tried never to be rough, but nevertheless there was a fireceness to his lovemaking that seemed to intimidate them." (P 127). "Diaz wasn't taking care of her out of the goodness of his heart. He was taking care of her the way a wolf cared for its wounded mate." (p 364). So, Diaz was interesting, but I had other problems with the book. During Milla's search for her son, she put herself in danger and nearly got killed three times because she was too emotionally unstable to act in a safe manner. I also had problems with the author who had Diaz do something which caused Milla to hate him (p 317). I felt like the author couldn't think of a better way to separate them and used this. It was out of character for Diaz. He could read people and would have known her feelings. The reason he gave later for doing it did not make sense to me.

 My first Linda Howard... definitely not my last October 18, 2007

The first chapter of Cry No More sets the stage for what will eventually be a heartwrenching tale. When readers meet the heroine, Milla Boone, she is living in Mexico with her husband, a surgeon who is there on sabbatical with a group of American doctors. Milla is taking care of her six-week-old son when he is taken from her, while she's left to fight for her life. For the next decade, Milla is consumed with finding her missing child. She spearheads a group called Finders, which is dedicated to finding missing persons. All the while her lost child is at the forefront of her mind. Milla will do anything to find him, and the peace of mind that she feels his return might bring.
Cry No More has all the makings of a tearjerker, and was deliciously fulfilling and well written. But I didn't cry. I came close once. But for me the story was more enjoyable and engrossing than emotional. I rooted for Milla, for her quest for answers, for her to find her son, for her to be able to move on with her life, but I didn't pity her or empathize with her. She seemed to strong and solid for that. As a character, I don't think she'd want my pity--or my tears for that matter. Or maybe I'm just made of sterner stuff than the typical romance reader. Regardless, Cry No More will take you on a journey that is both enjoyable and difficult to turn away from. Read it when you've got a long weekend ahead of you to become engrossed in the story.
Loved it! October 17, 2007

I'm not a romance reader but this one was well worth the time. I couldn't put it down and yes, I cried too. I'm not familiar with Linda Howard and hope she has more books with the main character, Milla Edge. When so many books are just ok, this one is definitely fantastic. A great read!
