Summary: Good but not Great
Review: I read this last of book of the trilogy first & intent to go back & read the first two books. I thoroughly enjoyed the book - enough mystery, romance & adventure to keep me interested. The ending begs for a sequel! While writing a good murder mystery, Ms. Johanson keeps her characters 'good' -- even the bad guys have a 'good' streak. There are no real rough scenes as in murder mysterys by some other authors. In this sense, her characters are a little too tame for the roles they play, but...it's still refreshing to read a good book like this. I recommend it to anyone who likes mysteries, but not gore.

Summary: When will it end.
Review: If this had been the first book by Iris Johnason I had read it would have been the last. I have read many of her books. This one is at the bottom of the pile! It was to long and drawn out. I thought it would never end. Several times I almost didn't finish it but thought it would pick up at some point. I was just boring

Summary: My favorite IJ book!
Review: The third in the four books about the Wind Dancer, Final Target is the last in the Wind Dancer series.
I loved this book, the characters were great, the main ones Alex and Caitlin were fabulous together. I could not stand it if they were not on every page and when they were it was hot , hot and more hot. I could not put this book down! I loved the plot , the twists and the turns. Added to the list of my all time favs! Alex and Caitlin left me wishing for more and she did not give much about them in the Final Target, I am still thirsty! Fatal Tide another IJ book is the story of Melis the orphan that was rescued by Kemal and Caitlin in Reap the Wind. Kemal and Marisa(Chelsea Andreas daughter, Reap the Wind) also have a mention in Fatal Tide. I feel like I am a part of this journey with all of these characters. Keep them coiming IJ! DGW

Summary: Good but not as good as the preceding two.
Review: The Wind Dancer series was good. I think the first one, "The Wind Dancer" was the best story, and "Storm Winds" second best, with this one as third best. I just have to make one comment, something I found very strange in this author's writing. In the last two books of this series, the intimacy between the two main characters contained NO kissing. The author did not speak of kissing during the lust/passion/love scenes. the kissing referred to is a kiss on the forehead, a kiss on the cheek. Why was kissing not included in this author's love scenes in these two books??? It was included in the first book. Very Strange!

Summary: Reap the Wind--REVISED EDITION
Review: This book was revised. Certain events have been changed. This book is NOTHING like the original--just as I had feared. If your looking to replace your originals for these new editions which are REVISED, and you enjoyed the original, I suggest you skip them. AGAIN, these books that are being released are REVISED, certain events, certain scenes in this novel have been redone or cut out. I LOVED the original and did not appreciate the fact that events were changed. FIVE STARS for the original and ZERO STARS for the REVISED EDITION. As a reader, I did NOT appreciate this ENHANCED, REVISED EDITION of a favorite book. Thank You.

Summary: If you love the romance and thriller, this book is for you!
Review: This is my first time that I've read Iris' book. So when I saw it, I didn't think that I would finished this book because it's 600 pages total! But once I started to read it, I couldn't put it down ( I finish this book in 3 days!) Every page is full of surprise and it just keep you guessing what would happend next. Mrs. Johansen's style of writing is so unique but what I love about her the most is how she cares about each character in the book. Each of them has a very own unique way to express themselves and also a dark secret that hidden inside each of them. Take Alex as example, I love him! I love how he lives his life, "Give them want they want and they'll give you what you want." I also love the relationship between him and Caitlin. It might seem a little confuse to me at first of how their relationship goes because they both don't know what they want until it has been explained everything in the end; and I love it because it is some kind of relationship that very deep and special for them. Great work, Mrs. Johansen! Now, I can't wait to read "Storm Dancers" and "Wind Dancers."

Summary: A book to be remembered always.
Review: This is one of a trilogy, but the rich historical background in the novel has been made very real by the author; her characters are alive, vibrant, and people from other ages and times leap out at you from the book. The Wind Dancer is symbolic of not just a priceless, much-sought-after statue--it is something that calls to mind a pure transcendant beauty that an artist's hand has realized and that nobody else can copy--something so powerful that an identical copy of the same piece cannot fool even a man whose eyes are going blind. The image evoked of the Wind Dancer is special beyond description. Admittedly the visual painting of the Wind Dancer has to be helped by the imagination. But trust me, the hero and heroine and the fresh style in which the story is portrayed will keep your eyes open--no lengthy, flowery passages as if the thing was an epic, just a gorgeously written plot, and with the romance thrown in, the whole thing is very nicely spiced up. These are not the only things in the book. I read it years back, and am looking for it again, and still I cannot ever forget it. The story is well researched, but the skill with which the knowledge of the time is made three-dimensional does the historical background more justice than ever. Those who know of this book will know what I mean. You won't forget the hero and heroine long after their names have faded from your memory--they have a staying power, and they blend to fit into their world despite of differences. Keep writing, Johanssen--you have got the gift.

Summary: CONSTANT ACTION
Review: This tape was very good. The story was fast paced and kept the listener hooked. The heroine's french accent might have been better done but overall it was great. If you enjoy Ms. Johansen's stories, you will love this one.
