Summary: I will read her work again
Review: This is the first book by Ms. Jaffe that I have read, and it was so good, that I am going to find her other book, The Stargazer, next.

Sophie, the heroine, is a smart strong woman that goes to investigate what she suspects is the murder of her godfather. Unknown to her, she is being framed for numerous murders, her investigation leads her to become entangled with a master spy, Crispin Foscari, and her life is in danger. The book is a fun mystery with secondary characters that make you wonder if there is a sequel to follow.

Be warned, the love scenes are steamy!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Slow, but an ok read.
Review: This is the first book I have read by Michele Jaffe and I am not impresed. I am an avid mystery reader and romantic suspense reader, there was suspense (little) and romance, but not enough of mystery and suspense for my taste. I often found myself falling asleep while reading this book, but some parts did have some thrilling moments. If you like slower paced books, then I would suggest that you read this book. I definitely will not read Stargazer at the result of the Water Nymph. This is a good book, and she is a good writer but I do not like slower paced books. Sometimes the characters were not very believeable, and when there was suspense, it went as soon as it came.

Summary: The water Nymph
Review: Very different ! and i was pleased with that fact. it definitely isn't the usual romance but that's why i liked it .. even though the plot was unbelievable, it was fun. the characters were very interesting and a lot of great and funny banter between them. i usually read romances in the realm of catherine coulter, jude deveraux .. each of these author's style is very different .. and now Jaffe is def. on my list .. ...
the only other thing i wished it had was more of a relationshipo between the couple.. they hardly talked of stuff other than the murder ..
great reading.

Summary: ZZZZZZZZZZ's
Review: What a boring book! There was no "Who Done It" suspense in the story. There was no excitement what so ever. The "hero" of this book was a WIMP. My Lord! This was the first book I read of 'Jaffe' and I will say that it is going to be the last. And what is it with this ending?! Blah!
