Summary: A Bon Voyage novel - Highly recommended
Review: Nick Jarrett earned the name of the Scorpion for his mark when he absconded with the treasures of the very wealthy. His exploits disappear from newspapers, however, when FBI agent Tristan finally captures him in the act. But Nick makes a deal with Tristan to protect his family. Now he is known as Luc Tremont, working undercover as a security consultant while helping the FBI stop other thieves. His current assignment brings him to a Versailles exhibit showcasing the recently discovered set of vases made by King Louis XIV's mistress. Only now someone has appropriated his old identity, claiming to be the legendary Scorpion. American professor Janine Coulter desperately wanted this job as curator for the Pompadour Plum vases. She and her mentor had spent the bulk of their careers working to prove the vases existed only for him to die just before the exhibit opened. Although authorities have ruled his death a suicide, Janine does not believe it. She disagrees with Luc's determination to limit the public's access to the vases. She does not know that Luc intends to use the vases as bait to capture the Scorpion copycat. And when the vases are stolen, she insists upon accompanying him chasing the thieves across France - falling in love only seems to complicate the situation for both of them. FRENCH TWIST begins with an intriguing plot, but the pacing slows after someone steals the vases. As tension increases between Janine and Nick, neither welcomes their mutual chemistry given their equally mutual suspicion. While St. Claire occasionally reveals too much before her hero and heroine figure it out, the strength of characterizations certainly compensates. Indeed, St. Claire demonstrates an ability to create a strong sense of background from the beauty of Versailles to the lushness of Burgundy. FRENCH TWIST comes highly recommended.

Summary: How do you say fabulous en Francais??
Review: One can only pray there is a scorching sequel to French Twist lurking in Roxanne St. Claire's vivid, delightful and exhilarating imagination. Oh! To be driven around the French wine country with Monsieur Luc. Lucky Janine! I cannot let these two characters get away. Speaking of which, I thought that her first book, Tropical Getaway, was filled with sizzle, but this trip to France - c'est magnifique! I love the way their rising feelings flood the book with longing. Could not put it down. Heart-pounding journey from cover to cover.

Summary: Keeps you UP At Night
Review: One of my rules of thumb for what makes a good book is one that keeps me up past my scheduled bedtime. Roxanne St.Claire manages to weave a sexy, fast-paced race across the continent. She builds not just believable characters, but characters that you want to be, to meet, to sit down and have a drink with.
Janine is not your "spunky" heroine cliche. She is someone who conquers her own fears and exhibits flaws. Luc struggles with guilt and remorse both from his past as well as his present attraction to Janine.
Their subsequent travels across the continent force them to face not just fears but feelings of attraction as well. There is danger and you feel the tension that comes from a well-drawn villain as well.
The ending surpassed "happily ever after" for me and transcended into "yeah, that's the way it should go".
Thanks to Ms. St.Claire for a book that offered twists and turns that kept me up at night. I will be buying anything with her name on it from now on.

Summary: Highly recommended!
Review: Roxanne St. Claire's first book, TROPICAL GETAWAY, was so good I wondered how she could top it. Wow! Now I know! FRENCH TWIST has plenty of exciting action and heart-pounding suspense that had me holding my breath. There are also tender, heartfelt personal moments that brought tears to my eyes. And the characters' dry, intelligent humor made me laugh out loud. The setting is gorgeous, and the author made me feel like I was *right there*, racing across France with Janine and Luc. Janine is smart and bold. Luc is *very* sexy, and a real hero. Their attraction is believable and red-hot. All that--plus the writing itself is great, too! IMO, this book succeeds on every level. You can bet I'll be collecting the three other 2004 books from Roxanne St. Claire. She's now an auto-buy for me.
