TRACE - Part One (The TRACE Series Book 1) Kindle Edition
Being a nurse gives Vanessa Meyer a true purpose in life. It grounds her in a way that nothing else can. Since she's watched her mother slide into the clutches of a painful condition, she's worked hard to better the lives of her patients, giving as much as she can to those who seek help. Garrett Ryan is an attorney in Manhattan. He centers his life on himself. When he's brought to the hospital after a horrible crash, Vanessa tends to his wounds. Their first meeting is explosive. She sees the worst in him. He only sees the best in her. When she needs his legal expertise, he jumps at the chance to help her find the answers she seeks. He encourages her to set out on a journey of self-discovery but neither can predict where that complex trail will take her. When she finally traces the path of her past to the present, it leads her to a reality that changes everything she's ever known.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015I really love the way Miss Bladon writes. The innuendo that takes place between Vanessa and Garrett is great. The best thing about Deborah's books is that she creates a good story that lays beneath the surface of the sexual encounters that makes the books more real and very tempting, you cannot stand waiting for the next book to know what will happen with the protagonists!!!! Vanesa is looking for her birth mother in a moment of her life in which her heart mother is facing Alzheimer decease. When she thinks that everything is lost, she finds a lawyer who helps her to find out where her mother is. But it was too late, her mother is dead. Meanwhile, she turns to know the lawyer (Garrett) better and gets involved with him, not knowing he had some secrets. If you love great romance stories with a real plot, I highly recommend this one and the other future books of these series.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2015I don't know how you do it. Where do you get this stuff? Your mind must be a treasure trove of fascinating discoveries. You make me fall in love with these characters in each and every book. And I know it's coming, but you still manage to rip my heart out by the end of the 1st part. You weave these amazing characters together, so I can keep up with what's going on beyond their initial story and I love that. You are by far one of my favorite story tellers. Each and every time you announce a new book, I almost cannot contain my excitement. Well done, and I cannot wait for part 2, please don't make us wait too long!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2015Garrett is a hot (of course) hunk of a man who runs his bicycle into a tree while chasing a woman he finds exceptionally gifted. He ends up in the hospital with Vanessa, a nurse with an Alzheimer's adoptive mother. While trying to connect to her past, she learns some startling facts about the day her mother "adopted" her. While Vanessa's first impression of Garrett was not too pleasant, his hotness earned him second consideration and a few romantic encounters. After what Vanessa learns, she heads to her birth mother's home to connect with her and WHAM, SPLAT, SWOOSH! One heart attack later and you are reminded of why you love Deborah Bladon's endings. I know there is something that will help me forgive Garrett. Whatcha got cooked up in that next book???
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2015Lawyers and nurses, what can I say? There are attractions that cannot be helped. Garrett Ryan a lawyer that knows what he has to offer and Vanessa a woman that needs to find the truth about herself.
Deborah Bladon keeps you interested from the beginning of this book. She finds a way to put mystery and sex into this book without batting an eye. Cliffhanger as always and I love it. How will Garrett get out of the situation he is left in is the question of the day. I love the twist and turns in Deborah Bladon series and I am looking forward to the next part.
How does it feel when you realize who you are and where you really come from? What does it feel like when you are struck by a surprise you never thought was possible?
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2015Why is it that this author makes you crave for the next book every time? Her cliff hangers makes you count the days for the next one and when you finish the series you stalker the authors website for weeks until you get your next kick!
This series has started with two amazing characters. Vanessa is a nurse in a hospital with an attitude that tells you she is no damsel in distress. And Garret!!!! What can I say I have loved him since the very beginning off all the series and was waiting for so long to read his story. Until... The dreadful cliff hanger... Omg no... no... no...!!! But like every good writer and believe me Deborah Blandon never disappoints.... Now back to stalking her website until book 2 and waiting for her amazing email to come thru with the "Trace- Book 2 Now Available" subject line... TICK TOCK... TICK TOCK!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2015It's so hard to find 5 star books anymore. This story was OK. The cliffhanger at the end would of been seriously frustrating if Book 2 wasn't out. The only reason I got this series, due to the whole series is finished. Please writers!!! Finish the story and put it in one book. When you are writing 100 page installments, it's obviously done on purpose. I felt the author was lazy in parts of the story when it came to details or information. There was also some questionable or cheesy lines Garret would say, for example in book 3 he finally gets to meet her mom in the hospital, her mother has Alzheimer's. Garrett tells the mother, he'll have to give her a foot massage the next time he comes to visit her. Now remember, he just met her. Through out the book I was sensing the author just adding useless crap just to add more pages or whatever to this story, no time was taken to make a better book. That's why I question what made this into 3 books. If you're taking your time to give a reader an excellent story, no problem make it into a series. But, if it's mediocre, just make the story into 1 book. I'm not that good when it comes to spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I do know how to spell "daisies" not daises. I can see making that mistake once, but twice in two different paragraphs?
I don't trust reviews anymore here on Amazon. Everyone gives 5 stars out too easily for these type of books. I'm starting to believe the author will have friends and family post reviews on their books.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015Alright...I knew I should have waited for parts 2 and 3 before reading part one...why? Because I totally want to see what happens and I can't wait!!! I just can not wait for the next part! This series has started off amazing, as usual for Deborah Bladon! I could not put it down and now I am mad at myself for starting it before the next parts....all I have to say is...Oh Sh*t at the ending...or the cliffhanger...you are killing me Deborah...killing me!! but in a good way! Hurry and bring on Trace 2 and 3..PLEASE!!! I beg you! Everyone needs to read all of Deborah Bladons' series's, she is brilliant and amazing and fun and hot and all the good things that go into writing a fabulous series!! Love her!!

5.0 out of 5 stars AAAAMAZING!!!!
That was freaking incredible!!! Omg! What a cliffhanger!!! I need book two like YESTERDAY!!! The story of Vanessa's past is so shocking and sad. Her relationship with Garrett seemed like a perfect steamy romance until the end and I can't wait to see what happens. There HAS to be an explanation!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars TRACE part 1 by Deborah Bladon
I waited until all 3 novels were released before I started to read, and then read back to back as if one book. You need to read all 3 novels to see the whole story and how several relationships pan out - mother(s), father(s) friends and boyfriend, not to mention work related issues. This story is about a woman with a very demanding job in ER, has a mother who is very ill, and who has secrets, which unfold and causes mayhem and knocks the confidence of our nurse..... At the same time she meets this cocky probate attorney, so life becomes a very difficult balancing act for her. Like all the other series this author has penned, this one has the same excellent qualities and well worth the read.
