Summary: Blood Pearls is a gem of a book
Review: Blood Pearls is a real page turner. I had a few minutes so I picked up Pat Lynch's book. Then I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. That, to me, is the measure of a good book. I found the characters believable and charismatic, the plot fast-moving and logical, the settings interesting and I learned about the pearl industry in Japan, too. All in all, it was time well and enjoyably spent.

Summary: Fast-paced international intrigue
Review: If you like your action set in exotic locales, Blood Pearls is a definite must-read. The author exhibits a real knowledge of China and its people and government. Corruption, violence, murder, and a steamy romance between a Chinese cultural guide and a hotshot American businesswoman -- this book has it all!

Summary: Characters leave the reader wanting an immediate sequel
Review: Madelyn Duval is an interesting mix: she is an ex-CIA agent; she is an expert in jewelry designing; and she took on the difficult task of step mothering for a dying friend. She is caught in a barren marriage with a schizophrenic son. And she is about to meet the man of her dreams, but in almost insurmountable circumstances. She goes on a introductory trip to China and becomes involved with her new man:

"For an instance the words didn't register. When they did, she looked away. I know he's right. I shouldn't be here with him. This hadn't been in her plans. The trip was too important to sacrifice for a fling. Or was it a fling? All of a sudden, she couldn't think."

Pat Booth-Lynch writes a compelling story, which includes two facets that are irresistible to the reader: the Orient (China) and pearls. Her knowledge of both sets the framework for a thriller that is as romantic as the reader could wish for. Cheng Gao is a dashing man caught in the middle of a place that could undo the best, and it is Madelyn's resourcefulness which eventually saves the day. Booth-Lynch keeps her plot moving along fast enough to engage the reader, and her evil characters fairly leap off the page with fire spurting out of their mouths.

Blood Pearls is a West meets East, escapist thriller written in the very best "read a novel on the beach" vein. Booth-Lynches' characters are larger-than-life; her action is nonstop; her predicaments are seemingly inescapable; and her denouement is hair-raising. The reader can't help but be engaged in the world which Pat Booth-Lynch creates. Her characters leave the reader wanting an immediate sequel.

Booth-Lynch is a talented writer with a vivid imagination and the expertise to draw the reader into her world. This is an excellent offering from an experienced author.

Pat Booth-Lynch is a corporate businesswoman who runs an apparel company and writes thrillers with lots of romance and visions of faraway places in her spare time. She currently lives in Florida with her husband. She has also written Tales To Tease The Senses.

Summary: Wish there was such a pearl!
Review: This book wasn't missing a thing. From murder to a typhoon it was a fast read making you want for more. My book club reviewed Blood Pearls last night and all agreed that Pat Booth-Lynch must make sure that this is part of a trilogy. Someone even mentioned that it reminded you of a TV mini-series. All agreed that it would make it big time. The information revealed regarding the corporate world tells me too that the author is very knowledgeable on how a business is run, especially when it comes to foreign trade. I would say, "Keep these books coming"
