Summary: Christiane Heggan Shines
Review: Christiane Heggan's latest romantic suspense, ENEMY WITHIN was superb--perhaps her best.Can't wait for her next book!
Rating: 
Summary: Lackluster
Review: I did not enjoy Enemy Within as much as her other works. I read Deception and Suspicion and those were superb and grabbed you at the beginning. The Enemy Within did not really grab my attention until half way through. I was disappointed with the plot and the simplistic twists. The love story moved way too fast but I will have to say that the ending did throw me off which is why I gave it three stars instead of two. I will continue to read her books because even for a lackluster effort, it still was very well written.

Summary: Enemy Within
Review: I didn't start this book with high expectations, given that I read it only because the main charater and I share a name (Rachel Spaulding), and that amused me. Even with those low expectations, though, I have to say I was fairly disappointed--the book was very formulaic and even the plot twist was predictable if you know how this sort of book tends to play out. If you're looking for a quick, brainless read, this book is okay, but you're a good bit better off with Mary Higgins Clark. Still, Christiane Heggan has darn good taste in names for her heroine.

Summary: Ms. Heggan Does It Again!
Review: I don't know how Ms. Heggan does it, but she's once again managed to write a wonderfully compelling book filled with enough twists and turns to keep readers on the edge of their seats. I have read all of Ms. Heggan's books, and she is an author who does not disappoint. Kudos. Can't wait for her next book.

Summary: A throwaway effort from a good author
Review: I was disappointed in this latest effort from Heggan. I had been looking forward to her next book after TRUST ME, and found the characters pedestrian, simplistic and predictable. The romance was lackluster and took up about 3 percent of the book, the suspense was nonexistent. I like this author and will buy her next book but if its like ENEMY WITHIN, it will be my last.

Summary: Heggan surpasses her own standard of excellence
Review: Rachel Spaulding loves winemaking. Her goal in life is to insure that her family vineyards are internationally recognized as some of the best. When her beloved Grams dies, Rachel inherits the vineyards while her sister Annie gains the house. Annie is livid because she is older and Rachel is adopted. Using her feminine ploys, she persuades private investigator Gregory Shaw to investigate her sibling's biological mother. Inadvertently, Greg sets in motion a series of events that leads to the public exposure that Rachel is the daughter of Alyssia Dassante, the woman who killed her spouse and died soon after. Alyssia is actually living overseas. As an apologetic Greg agrees to help Rachel meet Alyssia, they fall in love. However, their inquiries have opened up a three-decade-old murder mystery in which the real killer plans to murder anyone who gets in their way. ENEMY WITHIN is an exciting romantic suspense thriller that readers will fully enjoy. The story line never slows down as events keep coming that push the tale forward. Rachel is an intrepid heroine and Greg is the hunk who will do anything to keep her safe in his arms. The support cast adds a California wine country flavor to the book. Christiane Heggan can always be counted on for a tight tale and her latest novel proves the truth of that statement. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Enemy Within
Review: Since I have enjoyed Heggan's previous books, was quick to pick this one up. However, I didn't think it was up to my expectations for her writing. The plot was interesting with a good many twists and turns. But as it was billed as a "romantic suspense" I felt it lived up to only half of the billing. I'm afraid us romance readers have come to expect a little more romance in our books than that of 20 years ago. But, yes, I will continue to look for her books, hoping that the next one will live up to the whole title of Romantic Suspense.

Summary: Late night bookworms beware
Review: This is the first book of Christiane Heggan I have read. I loved it I couldn't keep my nose out of it. I was up until 3:00 A.M. until I finished it, then I passed it on to my mother. I went out and looked for more of her books. Unfortunately, I only found one, but I'll keep looking for more. Her characters are real and you can relate to them. I thought I had everything figured out, but when I got to the end of the book I was surprised at who actually comitted the murders. I think if you want a really good, fast paced thriller you should buy this book and any others you can get your hands on.
