Summary: Ms. Spindler does it again -- a great book!!
Review: Erica Spindler writes a wonderful story of suspense and family legacies, adding just the right touch of romance to the formula. The twist of incest is haunting as the Monarch family tries their hardest to get and keep Skye Dearborn in their family to continue the jewerly designing empire -- no matter what the costs. As the story unfolds, Skye slowly learns the truth and the story keeps you riveted to your seat!

Erica Spindler is my "newly discovered author" for this year. After reading all of her other books, this was the last one I read. It's just as wonderful as the first one! Now I'm disappointed because I don't have any other books to read by her. Great job, Ms. Spindler! I'm anxiously awaiting your next terrific book

Rating: 5 stars

Review: I had read several of Ms Spindler's previous books and while they held my interest I was not overly impressed. Therefore I had hesitated on this book but I'm glad I got it. Well worth the read!

Summary: Not as good as her usual
Review: I have read most of Ms. Spindler's novels and enjoy them, but this one was not my favorite. It was interesting but not overwhelmingly so. It is too similar in it's storyline to many of her other books, but without the redeeming qualities. Most, if not all, of her books involve females falling helplessly in love with the men they hate but this main character, Skye, was not likeable enough to make it all fly. She was a real whiner! Usually Ms. Spindler creates loveable characters. I don't know what happened here.

Summary: NOT TYPICAL
Review: I have read other erica spindler books and found them good not excellent but good. overall ms. spindler does not develop her characters very well and it was even worse with this book. both chance and skye are not main character material- i just could not like them-- though i tried. Chance was kind of wimpy for a lead character and skye was whiny, childish,and incredibly stupid. the incestitous part was to put it mildly DISGUSTING- I honestly wanted to vomit- Ms. Spindler should have NEVER gone there.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I have never heard of this author
Review: I saw her book at a book store and I decided to give it a try.
I never read a book from this author and and I like to try new
and different authors and I do have to say I really enjoyed this
book.

From reading some of the other comments and it they think that this one is not that great, I can't IMAGINE what her others are like. I can't wait to get started.

I liked this book, it kept me entertained and focused throught the whole story.

I give it four stars!!

Summary: Erica Spindler is in top form;an exciting romantic drama
Review: In 1971 Chicago, Madeline Monarch loves her infant girl Grace. However, she worries about the way Grace's older step-brother Griffen looks and treats the baby. She feels that there is something wrong with the boy. He r spouse Pierce and his father Adam are elated to have a female in the family because they believe that she has the "gift" of design that only distaff Monarchs have. In 1976, Madeline catches Griffen doing bad things to Grace. She tells Pierce and Adam, who call her insane instead. Madeline decides to abscond with her darling daughter into the night. She succeeds in running away from the Monarchs. In 1983 Pennsylvania, Chance McCord joins a traveling circus that has Madeline performing as a fortune teller. Her daughter Skye is a pain to Chance, but they soon become friends. When Madeline realizes that the past is catching up to her, she knows she must flee for Skye's safety. She asks Chance to watch Skye so that she can divert the pursuers away from her daughter. He agrees, but soon flees into the night with Skye. A few ye ars later, Chance and Skye have fallen in love with each other. However, Skye wants to find her missing mother to learn why she deserted her. She also craves the knowledge of who her father is. Finding either one may l ead to opening Pandora's Box as Griffen still searches for his "beloved" step-sister. FORTUNE is a fast-paced romantic suspense that will thrill and chill readers. The lead characters are both excellent, but especially delightful is understanding the motivation behind both of them. Erica Spindler is at the top of her game with this novel that should please romance and suspense fans equally. Harriet Klausner ----
