Re: Running on all Fours: “Having read several of Ms. Ricci's previous novels, I must unequivocally say that this is truly the best one written to date. She is able to delve deeply into the problems of society concerning special needs children and also those created by a dysfunctional family. The reader will feel the pain that Denise encounters along her path with her brother and her dad.”

“Casey's Charade by Susan Jean Ricci was super exhilarating and exciting to read. Starting off with Casey's not too common occupation, I could tell this novella was going to be a good one. I loved the relationship between Casey and Royce in all its sweet and spicy glory.”

Re: Sparkles of the Season: “You will feel the pain, the joy and the love these characters feel as their stories play out in this heartwarming tale. You don’t need to wait for the holiday season to read this; it’s a charming read at any time of the year. It is well-written with a great plot and more than enough action to keep you reading. It deals with loss and grief very well in a story that will stay with you long after you have finished it.”
