Summary: The perfect airplane book
Review: I was stuck on a long transatlantic flight recently and had this book in my carry-on. Boy, am I glad I did. I am an avid romance reader, and had heard good things about this novel, but had let it linger on my 'to be read' pile because I wasn't sure I was in the mood for suspense and gore. Big mistake! Lisa Jackson's smooth writing style hooked me from page one. She's created a vicious, enthralling killer, and from the very beginning you're dying to figure out who he could be. The main character, New Orleans radio psychologist Dr. Sam, has secrets, and the killer knows them. But working backward from who knows her secret to who the killer could be isn't easy, and Jackson peppers the story with potential suspects. Dr. Sam is a sympathetic character, and as a reader, you feel every bit of terror right along with her (in a good way!) Between the flight and the car ride home, I finished this book in one sitting, and can't wait to pick up COLD BLOODED, the sequel. HOT BLOODED is a not-to-be-missed read from a terrific author.

Summary: Makes Your Blood Boil Hot!
Review: Lisa has done it again! If you have never read one of her books, this is a good place to start. Sam is an, "On the Air phychologist". But, when she begins to get threats from one of her listeners calling himself, "John", and telling her that she is going to die because of hers sins, we, as the reader start to worry about her every time she meets someone new. Has the perfect man that has recently became so important to her to be trusted or is he in fact, "John?" I simply was captivated by this book and I have read ALL of her books. She is planning to do another book spinning off of this one. I, for one can't wait.

Summary: Hot Blooded has just that HEAT!
Review: Lisa Jackson has created a hot and steamy book with Hot Blooded. This story is about Dr. Samantha Leeds host of a late-night radio talk show. Phone calls begin coming into her show and home from a mysterious man named John. At the same time prostitutes are being murdered and she's got a new neighbor named Ty that she is extremely attracted to but unsure that she should trust. Dr. Sam is thrown into a web of intrigue that includes a someone impersonating a girl from her past who died years before. Could the prostitute murders and the phone calls all be related? Is it possible that someone she knows is behind all of it? Or is it just simply coincidence that the prostitutes that have been murdered were possibly dresses like Dr. Sam? Don't try to guess because just when you think you've figured it out you are wrong. This book is graphic so be warned that Lisa Jackson writes a very descriptive book. The sex scenes are steamy and the scenes with the mysterious killer are very vivid. I liked this book because of the way she has created a very intricate story along with so many twists and turns that actually put you in the shoes of Dr. Sam where you are wondering along with her who she should trust. I found myself eagerly waiting what was to come next and like Dr. Sam I was thinking she shouldn't trust so and so. I also found myself commenting on the variety of characters that are also part of the story from the neighbor who has quickly become part of Dr. Sam's life Ty Wheeler to the detectives investigating the prostitute murders and to the staff at the radio station. Who should Dr. Sam trust? Love this book and highly recommend it. There were a few parts that I wish hadn't gone on for so long because the book is about 450 pages, but I understand why she made it that way. The story is very tightly woven so there is a need for the length in the end.
I look forward to the other book by her Cold Blooded as well.

Summary: Bleech!!
Review: Maybe I'm missing something, I don't know. But I was VERY disappointed with this book - in fact, I can't bring myself to finish it. I read 100 pages into it and easily put it down. I have never met a main character that I've hoped would be killed off but this one, please! She's boring, shallow with no depth. ...

Summary: Stupid, stupid, stupid
Review: Not the book, the main character. I know romantic suspense needs a certain amount of suspended disbelief, but really! Honestly, all you ladies who are reading this, if you were being stalked, watched, and terrorized by an insane killer, would you invite a strange man over for coffee? How about going outside to meet a total stranger? What if you'd seen this total stranger watching you? Would you then invite him in for a drink? No. Not unless you were a complete moron. You know, the kind that run down to the basement in horror movies. I'm sorry. This might have been a perfectly great book, and I'm sure this man wan't the bad guy, but speaking as someone who never leaves her apartment without her pepper spray, it just seemed too foolish, and I had to toss the book down in disgust. There are risks that I can appreciate a woman in a romance novel taking, like trusting a man she had known for a while, even with over-whelming evidence that he is not trustworthy. But when you are in that much danger, and live alone, letting a man into your house, a man you've never met in your life and who you've only seen when he was watching you, that is too stupid for words.

Summary: Stunning -- Very highly recommended
Review: Police find prostitutes murdered in the New Orleans French Quarter, strangled by a rosary with sharpened beads. The bodies are left with their legs splayed, their hands poised as if in prayer, a hundred dollar bill with the eyes blackened out left on the bedside table. In the background, the radio softly plays. Radio psychologist Dr. Samantha Leeds returns to work after a disastrous two-week vacation in Mexico. She finds a message on her answering machine a admonition that she must pay for her sins. In the mail, she finds a mutilated publicity photo. Threatening phone calls to the radio station follow, all warning her that "I know what you did...you're not going to get away with it....You're going to have to pay for sins." Police detective Rick Bentz discovers the link between the serial killings and Samantha. As the threats continue, Samantha realizes the killer knows too much about her and must be close to her. She can't trust anyone, not even her sexy new neighbor Ty Wheeler, who holds secrets of his own. Then a woman calls claiming to be from Samantha's past; a woman Samantha knows died nine years ago. As killings become less random, moving closer to Samantha's inner circle, police warn she's becoming a target. Fans of police procedural-thrillers will thoroughly enjoy Lisa Jackson's HOT BLOODED. This riveting, fast-paced plot keeps the reader guessing as Jackson casts her spell of psychological terror. The dark atmosphere and intense suspense, along with masterful characterization, result in a stunning conclusion. Look for the sequel next year, COLD BLOODED, which promises a return of some many of the characters from HOT BLOODED. Very highly recommended.

Summary: An exciting romantic suspense tale
Review: The trip to Mexico was a disaster for radio psychologist Dr. Samantha Leeds. She manages to return to her home in Cambrai on the shore of Lake Pontchartain near New Orleans with a leg in a cast and the end of her relationship with David Ross. However, her answering machine has more than the welcome home from her dad, it contains a message about paying for her sins and than there is the envelop with the not "repent" note inside it. At about the same time, someone begins torturing and murdering prostitutes while simultaneously listening to Dr. Sam's New Orleans radio show. When Sam limps back to work threatening calls start coming in to her show. Police Detective Rick Bentz realizes that Sam is the only lead to the killer, but is not sure of the connection. Neither is Sam. Meanwhile Sam meets Ty Wheeler and begins to fall in love with him, but wonders if she can trust him or will he turn out to be her latest male mistake and even worse, her stalker. HOT BLOODED is an exciting romantic suspense tale with a strong emphasis on the suspense. The story line moves rather quickly forward, as Lisa Jackson takes no prisoners. Sam is a wonderful damsel in distress who abhors that role. The killer is obsessed but clever even fooling an intelligent detective like Rick Bentz. Sub-genre fans and those who enjoy a taut police procedural-thriller will delight in this novel and look forward to next year's sequel COLD BLOODED that returns many of the cast members from this tale.
