Summary: BEACHCOMBER
Review: I GREATLY PREFER MS. ROBARDS ROMANCE NOVELS TO THIS ONE. IT WAS HOWEVER A VERY GOOD READ WITH ALOT OF THINGS GOING ON. KEEPS YOU READING TILL THE END WITHOUT PUTTING IT DOWN.

Rating:
Summary: Boring and predictable...
Review: I hadn't read a Karen Robard's novel in quite a while and this looked like a good romantic mystery - well, it wasn't a good romance nor mystery novel. By the second chapter I was skimming pages and literally had to force myself to finish it. Definitely not worth the money, so if you are a diehard Robards fan wait for the paperback.

Summary: Left me disappointed...
Review: I have been anxiously awaiting this book for months. When I read it, the ending left me disappointed. I don't want to give anything away to those who still want to read it, but I felt like I was so anxious to finish the story, and then I felt incredibly bored with it. I usually love books by Karen Robards, but this just isn't as good as her others.

Rating:
Summary: Not one of her best
Review: I have recently started reading Karen Robards books.I enjoy romantic suspense novels. I loved 'Whispers at MidNight'. Based on that experience, I went ahead and puchased this book. While the book had great suspense, the romance was weak. One of the things that I enjoyed about her previous book was the character development. This book never spent much time on the relationship between the 2 main characters.

Summary: MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT
Review: I look forward to Karen Robards books and ordered this one feeling confident I had another good story from her. Wrong. First of all if you've read any of my reviews you know I hate it when an author falls back on the psycho-torture-women-killer menace. Why not just stick with the mafia as the threat to our heroine? It's almost as if Robards started out with the mafia as the main threat and then couldn't make the story come together. It was very difficult to get into the characters and plot. This is probably the first Robards' book I had to force myself to finish. Let's hope she rushed through writing this book in order to fulfill a publishing obligation so that she could spend more time on her next (hopefully better) book. This was a toss up between 2 stars and 3 stars. Because I like this author, I went with the 3. Everyone is entitled to an off day every once in awhile.

Summary: Not one of her better ones.
Review: I love KB's books I think she is a great romance writter. However, Beachcomber left me feeling disappointed, i was actually somewhat bored by it which is not a feeling I have had with any of her other books. I think I should have waited for the paperback like a reader said.

Rating:
Summary: Not good
Review: I was disappointed after I'd finished reading this book. If you've read Karen Robards' previous work, you'll understand why. The plot was hardly credible and far fetched. It was funny at times and that's why I made myself finish reading it.

Summary: Don't waste your time and $$
Review: I'm so disappointed with this book. It started out great, just like any other Karen Robards novel, but this one had a disappointing ending. I had to check and make sure it was really written by Ms. Karen Robards. And all I could say was, "What the heck was that??" I can't believe I stayed up til 2 a.m. just to get to the end of the book just to be disappointed. A total waste of time and money. ( and lost sleep)

Summary: Beachcomber
Review: It wasn't one of Karen Robards best writings. It lacked oomph and was rather disappointing. I should have waited to borrow it from the library.

Summary: *GREAT READ*
Review: Karen Robards delivers the 'can't put it down' type of story-line that makes me wish she could write a book like this every month. Classic plot line with several clever twists to keep the reader guessing and a real surprise ending. You'll never guess who the Beachcomber is. This is a can't miss choice.
