*"Shonna Brannon has written a touching, erotic, and spell binding story of the customs of Native American Indians. Dealing with passively dispersing the negative prejudices against gender and mixed cultures, she clearly shows how positive beliefs and attitudes work effectively against old attitudes. Shonna delves into their beliefs of past lives and the real possibilities of strong shamans and curses that influence lives into the future. Her story is one of a touching romance and love that exists between not only two people but two souls, surviving not only one life time, but many. This story touched my heart and her plot is well thought out and delivered." ~ [[The Romance Studio]] about ''[[Falcon Hunter]]''

*"What an entertaining story. Falcon Hunter has just the right mix of heat and intrigue that every reader looks for in a great book.

*"The Spirit Within shows the determination of a mother to protect her child and just how determined a detective can be when the crime involves the heart.  Alyssa is gravely hurt and left for dead by an assailant, but that isn’t quite the real story.  Sam discovers that not only was his sister killed out of the blue, but also the same person just might take away from him the best chance he has for true love.  If any couple has had to overcome odds worse than Sam and Alyssa, I haven’t read about them yet.  From the beginning, I was sure they just could not come together, but I was hoping for them the entire time.  By the time I turned the last page, I knew that not only would they find a way, but that the real killer would get what he deserved.  Ms. Brannon gave me the ending I was hoping for but didn’t think I would get, and I found The Spirit Within to be a thoroughly satisfying book from beginning to end." ~ [[Joyfully Reviewed]] about ''[[The Spirit Within]]''.

*"The Spirit Within is a terrifyingly suspenseful tale that will immediately enchant readers into suspending any disbelief in the paranormal. Author Shonna Brannon demonstrates a true way with words and will have the reader caught up in the story from the first line, racing along to discover the next plot twist or turn and simultaneously rooting for the good guys to discover and confront the villains.
