Summary: The book was very fast-paced and invigorating.
Review: After, I got over my preconceived notions about the book after I read the title, I rather enjoyed the book. The characters in the book were unlike others I've read because they seem to mesh together quite nicely right from the beginning. I didn't have to read have way throught the book to find out if they liked each other enough to do a real serious kissing scene. I believe Nora Roberts is a great writer and I wished that she had been more careful about choosing the title of this book.

Summary: ALMOST LIKE A BOOK VERSION OF THE FILM "THE BODYGUARD"
Review: All of the elements were there! The initial unwillingness to believe in the need for protection regardless of the fear, the abrasive directness of the protector, the unwillingness of the stalked to submit to total "protection". I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It will become a permanent part of my library.

Summary: Not just "Skin Deep"
Review: Chantel O'Hurley, the "oldest" of the O'Hurley Triplets, has realized her lifelong dream of becoming a star. Now she has the Hollywood lifestyle, the huge estate, the fans -- and a stalker. Another reviewer's comparison to the movie "The Bodyguard" is right on, and this thought crossed my mind several times as I read this book. Unlike that movie, the reader never really gets any good clues as to who the obsessive fan might be. The book centers much more on the inital love/hate relationship of Chantel and her new bodyguard Quinn, and then focuses almost entirely on their romance when they fall in love. In that sense alone, "Skin Deep" was a bit of a disappointment as a "mystery" because the stalker storyline was really only there to move along the romance. But let's be honest -- many NR fans read her books for the romance, not the intrigue. It's only in her newer books that Nora has begun to write really well-crafted mysteries. Since I'm sure the O'Hurley trilogy (plus "Without a Trace", about the triplets' brother) was conceived as being essentially about the lives and loves of these three sisters, NR did her job well here and writes an entertaining, satisfying romance.

Summary: Third in the O'Hurley triplet series.....
Review: Ms. Roberts manages to give each of the triplets in this series a different and interesting story. In Skin Deep you get the glamorous, beautiful and very talented film actress Chantel. She has everything she has worked and strived for except peace of mind. What Nora Roberts does, just about better than anyone else is give the hero and heroine enough friction and conflict to keep them interesting and fresh. Yet even when they are arguing you always have the sense of trust that exists at the core of their relationship. It's a relief to have the couple be able to disagree but know they still have a solid relationship. This comes across as well in this book as in her longer novels. Ms. Roberts is always, without exception a terrific read.

Summary: Not just a romance -- suspense as well
Review: Nora Roberts has the ability to write about her characters in such a way that you not only can picture them, but you also learn to care about what happens to them. Ultimately, that's what holds a reader's interest in a book. She was able to hold mine fully! I was looking for a quick read and at 248 pages this PB fit the bill. Well, quick ended up meaning reading it in one day -- this book is not just a romance, but also a suspense thriller.
The main character is Chantel O'Hurley. She's a famous actress/movie star. Unfortunately she has attracted the attention of a fan who begins to stalk her and ultimately terrify her. In steps Quinn Doran, hired by Chantel's manager to find out who the culprit is while protecting her from the sick fan who is stalking her. Though most of the story is developed around the budding relationship between Chantel and Quinn, there is enough about the stalker to hold your interested and ultimately you're unable to put the book down until its thrilling conclusion. Ms. Roberts is indeed a gifted storyteller. This is one book you'll enjoy so much that as the end you'll draw a breath and say "Wow!"
