Here's what Reader's Favorite Reviewers had to say about No Place for the Weak at Heart:

No Place for the Weak at Heart by P.J. Jones is an intricately written suspense romance set against the harshly beautiful landscape of the Chihuahuan Desert in Texas. An intricate plot plays out that includes drug cartels and political injustice. The story addresses themes such as corruption, the influence of many affluent families in small towns, the concept of faithful marriages, and the importance of starting anew and having second chances. It impressed me that it contains no graphic sex scenes, nor does Jones stoop to using the Lord's name. It again shows that if one has the right mindset, good stories can be written without the language many authors claim is required. P. J. Jones offers an exciting crime suspense story in No Place for the Weak at Heart-- Delene Vrey for Reader's Favorite
