Safe Harbor

• Gabbi at Top2Bottom Reviews says, "I loved the descriptive and highly addictive way Ms. Brooks writes.

"Of Sound Mind"

• Donna at Dark Diva Reviews says "Elizabeth Brooks has written an intriguing story that shows how people can allow their fears to interfere with love and happiness..." (3.5/5)

Of One Mind

Don't miss it!"

When her heroes come together telepathically for the first time, the scene is very sweet and sexy. ...Its combination of romance and danger kept me involved throughout the story, and I enjoyed its futuristic, sci fi ambiance. (3.75 out of 5)"
• On Goodreads, Serena Yates says, "...I thoroughly liked the exploration of this futuristic society and its workings through Jereth's and Caris's eyes. (4/5 stars)"

I was impressed by all the incidental details we get of how society works now that everyone has the ability to read the thoughts of others... [A]n enjoyable read... in an interesting and intriguing setting. If you like SF and futuristic stories, and want to read a story which is well written... then I would recommend Of One Mind. (3.75/5 stars)"
