Over a single weekend Nouri Sommers' life becomes a wild whirlwind of intrigue to include both a death threat and an actual attempt on her life causing her to need a keeper in the form of Boston Police detective Gabe Baldwin. A beautiful french police woman causes jealousy Nouri is loathe to admit. Otto Lambert of Lambert Island is attacked, and Nouri's long time friend Genna Matthews may have had something to do with the assault. Gabe and Nouri travel to France only to run headlong into Nouri's former love and her husband's attorney Clint Chamberlain. The Asian mob Red Devil figure prominently in Chamberlain's journey to France and his need for secrecy. Chamberlain who often proclaims his adoration for Nouri has taken up with a Nouri look alike for his mistress. Steven Li and Genna Matthews do hatch a plot to rid themselves of Nouri and take charge of Ethan Sommer's vast fortune. When Nouri is grabbed at the hotel elevator Gabe knows he must take decisive action. The question as to why Li is so determined to do away with Nouri is answered by the end of the book. Following on the heels of Forbidden, the second in Writer Taylor's Lambert Series comes the third: Friendly Enemies. Again Taylor's account is filled with robust and unwavering characters set against a framework of conspiracy, deceitfulness and torrid romance. Forceful colloquy between the players set the stage for intrigue. The chronicle travels from Lambert near Cape Cod to France and China. The Reader is presented a glimpse into a side of life few of us even imagine as the anecdote surrounding wealthy Ethan Sommers and his 'stop at nothing' cohorts evolves. That Ethan Sommers is a man who has presented himself into a dangerous and corrupt environment is exposed in categorical fashion. Friendly Enemies, as were the previous two works, is as much a tale of the decay often presented by intensification of power presented by amassing of immense affluence without integrity as it is a momentary view into the longings of a collection of reckless, desolate people. Each of the major characters appears to be seeking something and not knowing what it is they really desire. Each character seems to not be satisfied with what they have even though they have sought that item or position prior to the acquisition of the entity. Even when it comes to relationships the characters find themselves enmeshed in a tangle of loving and being loved by one who is loved and loving another. Writer Murray has a sprightly, breezy writing style in which she presents a large array of very different well fleshed characters. Murray paints a keenly focused tale of intrigue, greed and lasciviousness. The reader is caught up in the tale from the opening paragraph as we follow Nouri down a Connecticut Police Station corridor. Interest is held tight right to the last lines when we see Clint Chamberlain plotting his strategy for getting away with theft, his life and his relationships with both Nouri and her look alike. There continue to be some small areas where editing might be in order to tighten up the -ly endings. On the whole Friendly Enemies moves right along, the recital is supposable and the writing holds the interest of the reader. Some tongue in cheek type cliches included. True to the Genre. Not for everyone, some graphic sex, some profanity. Reviewed by: molly martin

Summary: Wish they really made men like Gabe Baldwin!
Review: Out of all the characters in Ms. Murray's Lambert series, the sexy homicide detective from Boston (Gabe Baldwin) is without doubt my favorite! I love this guy! I think he and Nouri will wind up together in the final book of this series. At least I hope they do! Just ordered Le Fin and I will soon find out!!!

Summary: Laughs, fun, and a good time,
Review: The 3rd book in this series was a lot of fun for me to get into. The action was fast and the fun didn't stop. I thought the chemistry between Nouri and Gabe was well-written, I actually felt a part of the story line (at times), and I really like that feeling when I am reading a book. I look forward to diving into the last book of the series. I had a lot of fun with this book and would be glad to recommend it.

Summary: What Am I Missing?
Review: I bought this book based on the on-line reviews I read. I thought it was awful! The characters were poorly developed and the story line was confusing. There were so many characters hopping into so many beds I couldn't keep them straight. I'll steer clear of this author in the future.

Summary: I am so loving this fun series...
Review: I am so loving this fun series! I read to relax and to rid my mind of the day to day stress I go through. So the books that I choose to read have to grab me right from the start...well, the Lambert series, starting with Thief of Hearts, sure gave me exactly what I look for in the novels that I read! Three books later and I am so hooked on Nouri Sommers and Company! I can hardly wait for Le Fin to get here, I feel like a junkie that needs her next fix!

Summary: My favorite romance novel!
Review: Friendly Enemies by V.T. Murray is my favorite romance novel of the year so far. I have had so much fun with her Lambert series as a whole and enjoyed being a part of this soap opera as it unfolded right before my eyes. The characters were easy for me to identify with and the plot held me captive from book to exciting book. I will eagerly look for more romance novels by Ms. Murray to hit the market in the near future. I have become such a fan!

Summary: Another Success
Review: Ms Murray has done it again! I've just finished the third installment in the Lambert series, FRIENDLY ENEMIES. The mystery and suspense are sustained artistically by the writer's refreshing talent. The character portrayals become even more sharply drawn here, with crispier descriptions and more clever nuances of focus. I too (like other anxious readers and devoted fans) am wondering about future adventures of Nouri and Clint, or maybe Nouri and Gabe. Nouri and Charles perhaps? From what we've already seen of Victoria Murray's talent for suspense-filled operetta, we can be certain that the writer has it very skillfully orchestrated. Bravo, Victoria. You know how to titillate your readers.
Very Highly Recommended.

Summary: The Heroine In This Series Is Hard To Resist!
Review: I love the characters in this fun series! Nouri Sommers is a woman after my own heart and after reading the sexy elevator scene in FRIENDLY ENEMIES where the studly detective from Boston kickes it with some blond bomshell from Lambert, I just gotta see what happens next. I'm hopelessly hooked on the LAMBERT SERIES AND THIS WRITER!
