Rating: Summary: Fast-Paced Thriller! Review: Here's another fast-paced, thrilling entry in the Robin Miller series. Maiman's style gets crisper with each new entry. Here, Maiman chose to really focus on Robin and K.T.'s relationship, of course there's no shortage of action but clearly Maiman is letting her characters mature and reflect more than in her earlier work. I highly recommend this book, especially since Jaye was kind enough to publish one of my poems in this entry! I love you Jaye!

Rating: Summary: Another EXCELLENT Read... Review: I anxiously await the release of the next in the Robin Miller series and have yet to be disappointed! Maiman is a storyteller of the highest order...able to incorporate romance with mystery...humor with drama. All the elements of good lesbian fiction! =) This particular book caught my attention, not only because of the usual good story, but because of the fact that Robin is growing up. I've watched her stuggle with her demons and responsibilities (she's run from more than her share) from the first book in this series. It's nice to see her trying to "settle down" and become an adult...to work through her problems instead of always running away. The plot centers around my favorite KT, Robin and a mystery case that twists and turns so much it keeps you guessing until the very last page. I would highly recommend this book (as well as all the others in this series) to anyone interested in lesbian fiction in general. And to Jaye Maiman...keep them coming! I can hardly wait for the next one...
Rating: Summary: Thank goodness for KT Review: Is there any character in fiction more exasperating than Robin Miller? She has a great relationship going with KT, but she can't seem to keep herself from messing it up. When she should just walk away from temptation or use a simple "No", she seems incapable of doing that. When it comes to her personal relationship, she can always be counted on to make many mistakes that in real life probably would not have a happy ending. And what's wrong with KT that she keeps putting up with this mess? What saves the book is that, as usual, Maiman has included some interesting storylines besides the romance and some hot .... Besides, you have to read the book just to see how Robin redeems herself by the end. Maiman says she's skipping years in the series now, but Robin doesn't seem to be moving forward emotionally at the same rate. If there is another book in the series coming, let's hope that Robin Miller has caught up to the timeline.
Rating: Summary: Two Mysteries Review: Jaye Maiman delivers yet another edge-of-the-seat mystery, keeping me guessing all the way to the end. I'm not talking about the whodunnit part of the book either. As intensely portrayed is the turning point that RObin and KT have reached -- it's settle down or break apart time. It's make a family nest or go their separate ways. I did not know until the very last page what Robin would decide. Robin's doubts and suffering are heartbreaking, as is KT's confusion and helplessness. It made the mystery emotionally rich, which is a rare treat in most mystery novels. The whodunnit part of the books is as enjoyable as always with Maiman, who just gets better with fast-paced action plots. I recommend this one 100%.
Rating: Summary: Another great installment in the Robin Miller series. Review: Maiman is one of my favorite writers. She balances the personal/romance element of her novels well with the mystery element. The Robin Miller character is so likeable. She's struggling to become a better person as she recognizes what could hold her back. One suggestion: give us more KT! With each novel, I want to know more about what's going on in her head. Wouldn't that be a great spin on the next novel if it were written first person from KT's standpoint! I just hope Maiman and this series survive the selling of Naiad Press.
