Summary: Here to stay!
Review: Annie Solomon has proven that she's here to stay with the publication of her second fabulous book, "Dead Ringer" following an admirable debut with "Like A Knife". Solomon entices and teases with two protagonists who start out battling and soon are steaming their way to an incredible romance. Along the way bad girl, Angelina Mercer, must help Federal Agent Finn Carver find a stolen cache of plutonium before its sold to the highest bidding terrorist group. Finn must keep Angelina alive while she infiltrates the Montana ranch of the suspected thief, Victor Borian, who just happens to be the husband of the birth mother for whom she has been fruitlessly searching. Victor has his own plans for Angelina and her 'aunt Marian' has an agenda as well. The story deftly hurtles to a steamy conclusion that is well worth staying awake long into the night to finish.

Summary: Enjoyed it
Review: This is my first book by this author and I'm glad I took a chance. I gave it 4 stars because I don't think the style or story was quite up to my usual favorites like Linda Howard, Elizabeth Lowell, and Kay Hooper. The plot was slightly predictable and I guessed the real bad guy right off. Maybe it was a lucky guess, but there were no surprises for me. Having said that, I still enjoyed the book because of the characters.
Angelina had a terrible thing happen to her that changed the course of her life and how she acted. For the most part, it was realistic. I really felt bad for her and the innocence that she lost. Finn was a good character as well. Hard and unyielding, yet sensitive and caring despite his resolve to not like her. A real likable guy after he stopped being hard on Angel.
This book leaned a little more towards the romance between the two than seriously concentrating on the suspense/mystery. However, I think Solomon did a great job balancing the two. It was a nice enjoyable read.

Summary: A great read
Review: This was a great book. I couldn't put it down and stayed up most of the night reading. The suspense had me hooked. The characters were very real. I even have a little crush on Finn Carver. I'll definitely be watching for more books by Annie Solomon.

Summary: More "Harlequinn Romance" than mystery: Lame
Review: Warning! This book is a romance novel. All the quotes on the cover about how great it is are from romance novel publishers. I was looking for a new mystery/suspense type book, and while I enjoy a good romantic story thrown in there, this book is WAY more about the"simmering tensions" between the 2 characters than the mystery. It got old real fast for me, and the romance was pretty predictable too.
If you usually read Harlequinn romance supermarket books, this is a well written book within that genre. If you, like me, avoid "bodice-ripper" romance books at all cost, avoid this one too.
