Summary: I feel that the title should have reflected "promises kept"!
Review: I agree that this story was lacking in it's motivation and other details having to do with the murderer's psyche.The two main characters, Ben and China,while meeting under such tragic circumstances, compliment each other and seem destined to face their challenges together and overcome them.Ben may seem to overdue the "honey" but I can't fault the sincerity of his feelings for China and the love that builds between them.As for the mystery woman with the long blonde hair that commits the murders, I had a pretty good idea who was guilty, but the puzzle didn't fit exactly right,even in the end.I still enjoyed the book. Ben and China were worth the time!!

Summary: Average Mystery
Review: I am a big fan of mysteries and thrillers, and lately have been looking for new and exciting authors. The biggest problem I have is that lately many story lines are either "boring" "have been done a million times" or are just unbelievable. I thought this book was ok. China the main character, pregnant and homeless, witnesses a murder. The killer then tries to kill her but she lives. Enter the cop who with one look wants to be her protector, and has to keep her safe while trying to find the killer. I like Sharon Sala but did not find this book very original or even exciting.

Summary: SLOW, SLOW, SLOW!
Review: I believe that Sharon Sala's novels would appeal more to the romantic reader other than the suspense reader. It is so hard to distinguish if the majority of the novel is going to be suspense or romance, when they say Romantic Suspense. The suspense parts of "Butterfly" were very slow. The book was good in the beginning, but then it got worse. Boring! Trust me, save your money on this book!

Summary: Good, but not her best!!
Review: I enjoyed this book, but at the same time felt something was missing. I guess I got spoiled with "Reunion", which is the book that started me reading Ms Sala's novels. The one thing I did enjoy was the unconditional love Ben had for China. We should all be so lucky. I feel the story line could have been more compelling and more convincing especially when it came to Bobby Lee and his mother. Overall it did hold my interest enough for me to continue reading, but mainly because I wanted to know if the killer is who I though it was. It was.

Summary: Where's the suspense ?
Review: I found myself becoming bored and restless as the book progressed because it spent too much time on the love story of the main characters and the hero was a little too perfect. I love Ms. Sala's books but would have liked more suspense.

Summary: Good but not her best
Review: In Dallas, her landlord tosses the pregnant China Brown out of her apartment for not paying the rent. As been her history, even as a little girl in Michigan, China is a born victim. She gave the rent money to her boyfriend to hand over to the landlord. Homeless and hopeless, China warily heads to a mission to get inside from the bitter cold gripping the city. On the way, China watches a blonde woman murder celebrity photographer Chaz Finelli and take his camera. The killer next fires shots at the only witness, China. Somehow, China survives, but her unborn child is dead. Detective Ben English heads the investigation with his only lead a near dead China who has no reason to live. Romantic suspense fans know that best-selling author Sharon Sala always provides an exciting novel. Her latest tale, BUTTERFLY, although not quite up to her usual excellence level, is an entertaining story. The weakness to the tale lies in the cold blooded killer who murders like an Ennis developed professional hitman, protects her identity like an individual without a thought in their head and whose motives never come clean. The investigation is fun to follow because the cop and the life-long victim make a charming couple, so much so that readers will want them to make it together. Harriet Klausner
