Summary: Pretty good read, but not earthshattering.
Review: This was a pretty solid book and I liked the characters well enough and they had some good fun. I'm a fan of SB, but don't like everything she's ever written. A 4 from me means that it's worth reading, and worth exerting one's self a bit to acquire it but is not a classic.I'm mostly writing this review because I don't agree with the reviewers who were upset because they thought the heroine should have had proof that the hero wasn't lying. In this particular case, the hero never did lie to her. I looked for that particularly. He said things to her like "I went through a bad time which I'd rather not talk about right now," which is NOT lying. It's not even being evasive as it really wasn't any of her business at the time. Who walks up to someone they've had a crush on but haven't seen for years and says, "hi, how are you, I might drop dead next week!"? Let a boy ease into it already. IMHO, the main conflict was "did she believe in her own judgement about this man, or did she believe the judgement of other people who were not necessarily known for looking out for her best interests." It was not so much about trusting the hero, whom she had no real reason to distrust. This romance was a turning point where she decided to start making her own decisions, but had to develop a good deal of trust in herself to do so. In the end, it turned out that her trust in herself and her lover was justified by ample proof. Now, had this story been one where the hero consistently lied to the heroine and then she started to believe him with no proof that he'd changed his ways, it would have been a whole different ballgame. But it wasn't. This was a good book, the characters made decisions consistent with how I expected them to act, the hero and heroine behaved like grownups, nothing stuck out as being really wrong, and I liked it well enough. It just hasn't stuck with me the way some of her other books have. And I agree with the reviewer who took issue with the mullet :)

Summary: Scenes of Passion
Review: While I was eagerly awaiting Suzannes new "Seal Series" book I saw Scenes of Passion...I am a Suzanne Brockmann fan so I purchased it. I enjoyed this book very much and couldn't put it down. Yes it was the "I've been in love with you since High School" theme but anything Suzanne writes is very good. Reading is an escape and Suzanne's books deliver.
