Summary: Guess I'm in the minority again but
Review: I loved this story. Lacey, Ian and especially Susa were strong characters I cared about and would love to read about in future books. I am hoping for a book that develops Lawe and Justin and "the Donovan" and catches us up on the other Donovan's.

Summary: Listened to the Audio
Review: I picked up the audio book because the library had backorders for the hardcover. I enjoyed the book. There was enough mystery for me and I thought the romance was HOT!!! The paint table scene was right out of fantasy land! This is supposed to be enjoyable and entertaining and I found it to be both and can hardly wait to actually read it!

Summary: Disappointed again
Review: I truly enjoyed Ian and Lacy, but something lacked in this story. I will say that the story line that has been appearing in your Rarities Series are starting to sound predictable which leaves the reader disappointed. I will try to stay an avid reader of yours, but lately it's been hard to shell out the extra bucks for hardcover that leave me rather unsatisfied.

Summary: Started enticingly, then fizzled out
Review: I, too, enjoyed the 3 characters of Ian, Susa and the protagonist, whose name escapes just now. Wish the story had been more interesting. The ending was fairly predictable; anticlimactic. I was looking for thrill and fascination with the art world (ala the Da Vinci Code), and got more sex than art. I'm sorry I bought the book. Should have borrowed it from the library. It's not a keeper.

Summary: A good romance
Review: In California, renowned artist Susa Donavon will paint a canvas in front of an audience. Her work will be auctioned as part of raising money for the Friends of Moreno County. Additionally Susa will appraise any works brought in by patrons of the arts with the money raised also donated to the Friends of Moreno County.Art buyer and artist Lacey Quinn brings in paintings done by her late grandfather in the 1920s for Susa to evaluate. Susa feels that the works owned by Lacey are from highly regarded plein air artist Lewis Marten. Though she doubts it, Lacey, already interested in the life of her relative, cannot resist researching the darker portrayals of murder, but soon finds evidence that the homicides occurred and that history repeats itself. Insight into the California art scene adds a taste of reality to a suspense-laden tale. The heroine is a delight as she seeks her place feeling like the outsider in her family especially when compared to her two siblings. The murder mystery is thirty plus years old with frozen tundra trails yet Lacey relatively easily solves them, which takes credibility away from a well written fun story that readers will still value.

Summary: Disastrous Dialogue
Review: It is hard to imagine less convincing dialogue or less natural speech. Supposedly quick repartee is always met by the participants "snickering." Laughter at this stilted mess would show too much enthusiasm I suppose. The "mystery" is transparent. The one hot sex scene keeps this from being a 1/2 star outing on Lowell's part. I've enjoyed a lot of her earlier books but this one shows a need for a strong editorial hand.

Summary: EL Paints Another Masterpiece
Review: Lacey Quinn has painted all her life - she grew up following in the footsteps of her talented grandfather who served as her mentor and inspiration. Upon his death, she inherits all the beautiful landscapes he had done along with paintings depicting gruesome scenes of murder. As striking and masterful works, David's paintings also create quite a stir when Lacey submits three of them to be appraised by renowned artist, Susa Donovan, while at a charity benefit auction. Ian Lapstrake is taken by Lacey at their first meeting at her shop, Lost Treasures Found - a combination antique store and second hand shop. When he sees Lacey at the benefit, he is even more intrigued when La Susa is certain they have been painted by another artist, causing Lacey to question whether her grandfather was really a forger. And why do these paintings cause the wealthy and influential Forrester family to sit up and take notice of a heretofore-unknown artist? Do they hold the key to three mysterious deaths from over 40 years ago? Suddenly, Lacey and Ian find themselves barely escaping from the mysterious fire at her shop and soon after they are also investigating the theft of not only Susa's paintings she'd done for the auction but also the theft of Lacey's grandfather's paintings. The attraction between Ian and Lacey is strong, hot and instantaneous. The romance starts early in the book and doesn't let up until the very last page. Ian is definitely alpha but he isn't domineering - although he knows that Lacey is in danger, he and Lacey work together to find out the who's, what's and why's of these puzzling events.

Summary: Good , but not as good as others
Review: Like other reviewers it was good and I loved these character in other books, but the story itself wasn't up to Ms Lowell stander. I do look forward to her next book about the twins, I hope she back at her best, because that book should have a lot to offer. I have brought all of her books and will again.

Summary: Good, not great
Review: Started out slow, but once I got the characters sorted out it got more interesting. But the sex scenes were so unnecessary; why is all this panting and thrusting, etc. necessary, we all know whar sex is like. Would have given it 5 stars otherwise. Skip over those parts & it's worth the read.
