4.3 out of 5 stars 298 ratings
Catherine McCoy has been on the move for a year. Hiding the secret and guilt in her heart, she expects her stay in small-town Texas to be brief. Her plan changes after she meets Sheriff Matt Ballard, who ignites a flame of passion she thought lost forever. Matt has scars of his own. He left the big city after an undercover operation went bad. Now, he hunts for a serial killer who paints his victims like porcelain dolls. Catherine becomes a safe haven for him. Two tortured souls finding comfort in each other's arms—until he uncovers her secret, and their bond of trust is broken. When Catherine disappears, Matt races to find her, fearing the murderer has found his next green-eyed doll. But the killer has a surprise coming. Catherine will fight to the death before she'll be a victim. Will her determination be enough?

Jerrie Alexander's debut novel THE GREEN-EYED DOLL is a gritty, thrilling can't put it down romantic suspense. The villain is suitably menacing and difficult to identify, I was left guessing until the very end. Catherine and Matt are complex characters with their own secrets to reveal and wounds to overcome as they work towards loving and trusting each other. Ms. Alexander is definitely an author fans of romantic suspense should keep an eye on. I'm looking forward to seeing what she has for us next.

About the Author

A student of  creative writing in her youth, Jerrie set aside her passion when life presented her with a John Wayne husband, and two wonderful children.  A career in logistics offered her the opportunity to travel to many beautiful locations in America, and she revisits them in her romantic suspense novels.   
But the characters went with her, talked to her, and insisted she share their dark, sexy stories with others. She writes alpha males and kick-ass women who weave their way through death and fear to emerge stronger because of, and on occasion in spite of, their love for each other.  She likes to torture people, make them suffer, and if they're strong enough, they live happily ever after.  
Jerrie lives in Texas, loves sunshine, children's laughter, sugar (human and granulated), and researching for her heroes and heroines.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Full-On Awesome -- Can't wait for more...
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2013

    'm going to come right out and say it: serial killers fascinate me. Not in a way that I'm cheering them on (Unless that serial killer happens to be named "Dexter Morgan") but that the psychology behind them is an endless maze of intrigue to me. Which is why I immediately requested to read this book.

    The book begins with a look inside the killer's thoughts as he revisits his childhood home (a trailer out in the Middle-of-Nowhere, Texas) after his mother (a woman who should never have been allowed to procreate) has died. He's remembering his abusive childhood and the green-eyed doll that he used to look out a crack in the door to as he was locked in the closet - the thing that helped him escape his reality as a child. When he finds that his mother, in a last attempt to hurt him, has removed the doll, whatever small bit of sanity he had left cracks and flies right out the window.

    Enter in Catherine, a woman on the run from her past, who is stopped as she's driving into Butte Crest, Texas, by the Sheriff Matt Ballard, also, in his own way, running from his past. They both harbor secrets and self-inflicted guilt... but it's these secrets that have led them to each other.

    The Serial Killer paints his victims up like the green-eyed doll that he loved so much as a child as a way to have his own doll. While he's smart about most of what he does, he also has that twisted mentality that if a woman smiles at him (even as a waitress because that's her job), she must want him. And if she has green-eyes... well... she was meant to be his. Go figure, Catherine has green eyes.

    Thus begins a fascinating story that I couldn't put down.

    Jerrie Alexander writes a magnificent tale of intrigue, murder, mystery, romance, suspense and amusement. There's not just one bad-guy, and, as, with all great characters, all of them are three-dimensional, able to waver on the good and bad side. And you're able to relate to them, even the bad guys - and that's what a great author does.

    The book is well-rounded with all the aforementioned aspects that have you continuously turning the pages as fast as you can. Jerrie Alexander won the Golden Pen award in 2010 for this book and it was (and is) well deserved. I very much look forward to reading her other books as soon as possible!

    4.0 out of 5 stars PULLED STRAIGHT FROM CRIMINAL MINDS!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2014

    "There up on the top shelf, the green-eyed doll, the only clean, pure thing in the trailer sat. He’d lock his gaze on her porcelain face and pretend she was real…

    …Mama had been right all along. He did want to ____ the doll."

    This is another one of those books I couldn’t resist. A woman on the run and a serial killer? Please. I had to read it! Everything about this book, from the blurb, to the story line, to the “creep” factor reminded me of an episode of Criminal Minds (minus Penelope).

    The villain was definitely wacked in the head and all the doll references gave me the heebie-jeebies! It was a pretty quick read but was loaded down with enough drama to make a Lifetime Movie seem tame. Not only was there a serial killer on the loose but the heroine is also being stalked as well. Are the serial killer and the stalker one in the same? I'll never tell =) Combined with the lies, secrets and guilt that the characters are dealing with, there's a lot going on in this book.

    I thought the steam level was appropriate for the story line and was well done although I did think a couple lines here and there were cheesy.

    “Take what you want.”

    “I want inside you,” he murmured. “Look at me.” He pushed. She opened and expanded around him. “Feel me buried deep in your body. God, you’re wonderful.”

    Slowly, smoldering green eyes looked down to where their bodies joined. Her gaze slid back up, and locked onto his. A weird skip of his heart was pushed from his thoughts.

    “No," she said on a gasp. "We're wonderful.”

    This is the second book I've read by this author and I have the same feeling about this book as I did about the other book I read...somethings keeping this from being a four or five star read for me. I liked it, but I felt it had more potential, it could have been better. I think a little more development might have helped. Somehow, the author just didn't nail it for me even though the book was well written and had good bones. I didn't like how Matt dealt with a specific situation, he rushed to judgement on something imporant, and that seemed out of character for him. Other than that, I don't have alot of complaints. The book was pretty much what I expected.

    There is a supporting character, Ash, that I'd love to know more about. No idea if Ash will eventually get a story or not but I feel like he would be an interesting character to read about. Overall, a good book. I wish I could give it a four star, but it was more like a 3.5.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2013

    After reading an article about "The Green Eyed Doll" and the first time author Jerrie Alexander in a central Texas newspaper, I decided to put it on my reading list. I liked the fact her story was developed after extensive research and reading profiler stories and that the story takes place in Texas.

    I enjoyed reading the book in paperback (still enjoy turning real pages). Green Eyed Doll is a romantic thriller; filled with love, passion and suspense. The characters Catherine and Matt seemed so real and I found myself feeling their pain and joy and caring about what happened to them. I love a happy ending and love good over evil. I am partial to strong women characters and I found that trait in Catherine. Sheriff Matt definitely fits the profile of the men who serve as officers in rural Texas towns.

    I will be watching for Jerrie's next publication, hope it is soon.

    I enjoyed The Green Eyed Doll. It has a great plot with interesting characters both unlikeable and likeable. Catherine comes from an abusive past to small town Texas, gets pulled over by the HOT Sheriff and sparks fly.
    Matt has problems of his own when Women come up missing then found dead. He has to deal with a town that is running scared and not happy with the investigation. A report wanting to make a name for herself with information that Matt would prefer to keep buried. Catherine also has a stalker that has Matt worried she's the next target for the serial killer. All this makes for a very easy read that you don't want to put down.

    This author has some very scary ideas about people who look very ordinary. Liked the plot although they must have a sufeit of both beautiful men and women in the USA, never pretty, but always spectacular. However the plots of these books are pretty good.
