Summary: Very good first novel
Review: The book opens two years after the death of Cally Wilde's very wealthy father. Apparently, every person who even thought that they might be related to the man has tried to collect his/her "fair share" of the wealth. The slimey attorney in charge of the inheritance sees this as many billable hours and is encouraging them. Cally's mother feels that she is entitled to the money, even though she divorced Wilde for his partner before he made all his money. She, in turn, has convinced her son from her second marriage that Cally has cheated them of their rightful wealth. It is no wonder that Cally has a hard time letting people get close to her and is a disaster in her love life.If this isn't all bad enough, someone is trying to kill her and the obvious suspects are all related to her! On the other hand, the detective assigned to the case is very attractive and seems to find her attractive also. He will not act on this until the case is closed, which is an additional incentive to find the culprit. I was very impressed with this first effort. There was plenty of action, the characters are very well developed and I had a really hard time putting the book down. I can't wait to read the next one.

Summary: Never Read First Person
Review: unless it's this one. This book was great, you should have seen my face when I realized this book was in first person, I really don't like just being in one person's head but Shari Shattuck, took me there with this can't put down romance, intrigue and all around good read. It only took me five hours to read and thats with breaks. I was so involved with who was out to get the Heroine, and I loved the Hero for mostly waiting to other oblegations to be finished, like finding out who was trying to kill her. Even though there was an abundance of characters each had their own tone, even in the first person prespective. I can't wait for the next book!
