Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: I was a big fan of all her older romances. "To Trust a Stranger" was too violent to be considered much of a romance. The plot starts out with two violent deaths and ends with about four more. A little "hot sex" is thrown in between the violence ...
Rating: Summary: ONE OF THE BEST Review: This is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. The characters had a great sense of humor and reading this story made you feel good. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Not the best, but enjoyable Review: I've read other books by this author that were much better, but I still enjoyed. The romance was pretty good, but the suspense just wasn't suspenseful and compelling enough for me. Interesting story though.
Rating: Summary: Nowhere near the quality I expect from Robards Review: I've always bought Karen Robards; never felt the need to read a review first. Not anymore. This book was a waste of my money. Very disappointing.
Rating: Summary: FANTASTIC READ Review: I loved this book!! I read it in two days. I couldn't put it down. Mac was such a hunky guy, and Julie was a great heroine!! The intereaction between the two was wonderful. The whole story was full of surprises. The near misses with the hit man kept me entertained. The romance was wonderful and the love scenes were really steamy. I couldn't wait to finish this book!! One of the best romantic suspense novels I have ever read!!
Rating: Summary: Too Bad, So Sad Review: The most god-awful book I've ever read! I am very disappointed. I was a fan of Karen Robards. I didn't run out and buy her books as soon as they were published as I do with some of the other authors I'm fond of, but I did consider her a consistent, fun read. However, this book has thoroughly changed my mind... I grew so frustrated with her attempts at hip-hop, cool, wise-cracking humor in the pathetic dialog, I almost put the book down twice-but, alas, I'd paid money for it and was determined to finish it. If she had told the story straight, without this irritating distraction, it could have been a very good story. What happened to the style she was beginning to forge with her modern-day stories such as: Hunter's Moon, The Senator's Wife, The Midnight Hour, and Paradise County...
Rating: Summary: not a good read Review: I have read many of Ms.Robards books and they were all enjoyable. But not this one. I kept reading and hoping it would get better, but it didn't.
Rating: Summary: All in all a good read. Review: The main problem I had with this book is Julie. She was definitely not the sharpest tack in the box if after 8 years of marriage she hadn't figured out what hubby was like! She was also way too obsessed with her appearance. I loved Mac & the scenes of him in drag were a scream!
Rating: Summary: Cute Story Review: It was a very cute story. And it was funny from the start, so it kept me going and going till I finally finished the book. I also recommend Katherine Sutcliffe's Darkling, I Listen.
Rating: Summary: Not her best, but highly enjoyable. Review: I'm from Karen Robards' city (Louisville) and only recently got hooked on her books (as well as a few of my friends as well). "To Trust a Stranger" is a nice, easy read. Not fast-paced like my favorite, "Heartbreaker," but the main characters are sexy, sassy and downright likable. Robards' contemporary novels far outweigh her historical romances. Each one is a worthy read -- check out "Hunter's Moon" and "Walking After Midnight" as well. Several of her stories are set in Kentucky, so it's disconcerting to read about kidnappings, murders, etc., take place in areas so close to home!
