Rating: Summary: I wish I had more to say... Review: But once again Suzanne Forster has shown that she has so much potential. Her plot was a really good one, but I often felt lost and confused with where she is going with her plots. She leads breadcrumbs to the paths of nearly every character in the book, which isn't a bad thing, it just gets a little old as it seems everyone in the book has a "revelation" at the end. Like life can be solved in one quick week. I mean OK, so you're Mom doesn't like your profession and seems to not give a hoot about you in general; that is allowed to happen in real life. We don't necessarily need to know WHY that is. Most of us never know the deeper reasons why some things are the way they are. She has a GREAT plot to start with but in this one it seems that she introduces too many characters as being more important than they really are, and for what? It ends up not being most of those people anyway and unless she plans a sequel, we really don't need to know that much about so many characters. I think if she had stuck with the begining and left out some of the personal takes and concentrated on staggering us all with a great begining and ending it would have been all the more satisfying. I will continue to buy Suzanne's books but I will pass over her book to buy a J.D. Robb, Tami Hoag, or a Kay Hooper on my pay-day, to purchase theirs first.
Rating: Summary: Flawed but interesting Review: The book had an interesting premise but it left a lot of things unfinished. We never find out what happened to Carlie in the brothel in Florida. The romantic relationships between Rio and Carlie, Danny and Jo were awkward. There is no one with a sane childhood. Also, there were too many coincidental relationships (family, lovers, coworkers, ex-somethings) between the characters to be believeable, a la Charles Dickens. SPOILER: DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS POINT IF YOU DON'T WANT A CLUE! The Femme Fatale and the main stalker turned out to be very minor characters; we don't know anything about them until after the climax. All we get is a little passage for each at the end to explain their motives! Arrg!
Rating: Summary: Wha????? Review: This book was more confusing to read than running thru the maze in "The Shining". It had more layers than an 8 layer chocolate cake. Characters were uninteresting and I didnt care about any of them. Sorry, hate to pan any book but I skimmed thru to the end and even that was unexciting!
Rating: Summary: Erotic, Romantic and Spel-Binding! Review: Well, some folks won't like this book. Easy enough from some of the reviews. As for me, I thought this one of Forster's best efforts. A lot of new ideas and characters; this is not a comfortable read, but I don't suppose it's to be! The romance is fantastic! If you want a one-sided hero then read something else; however, if you want a hero with ALL the right faults, then this is the book for you. Writing a bad review is easy. Writing a good review without giving away the story IS NOT! Try this book yourself! I think it's one of her best and I've read just about everything she's written.
