Summary: I liked it. . .
Review: This was a good story. And I liked the hero and the heoroine, and I really hated to only give this story three stars. . . Three and three quarters is more like it. A story has to be positively exceptional to receive five. The plot wasn't bad, but there were a couple of things that bugged me. One was the fact that a major issue was never quite resolved, and I felt that everything was already there for it to be resolved. Another was that I didn't really 'feel' that the characters fell in love. Twas more like a hot n' sweaty sex fest. The bizzare killer didn't bug me so much, although I tended to skim for the most part through his ramblings. And despite how negative that sounds, this WAS a good story. I liked the way the hero was with his children. I also liked the way the heroine under stood her sister's problems. The cat was an interesting touch. All in all, even though I enjoyed reading it, I guess the story just didn't quite touch me.

Summary: Enjoyable Read
Review: This was the first audiobook that I've listened to completely. The reader did a good job. You get the damsel in distress, with a knight in shining armor trying to take care of them and his three children. You get a killer whose next victim could be anyone. It was fun to listen to with just the right amount of suspense, drama, humor and romance. I don't know if I would call it Paradise, but I would call it an enjoyable read.

Summary: 2 1/2 stars -- A loose heroine and an immoral teenager
Review: This wasn't awful, but it wasn't worth buying either. As another reviewer has noted, the mystery part was ridiculous and contained gratuitous violence. Also, while I don't think virgin heroines are required in romance novels any longer, neither can I warm up to overly assertive, loose heroines. Alex (the heroine) sleeps with the hero after only knowing him for a couple of days and then calls him another man's name in bed (Joe reacts a lot better than I would have to that). Even more distateful was the immorality of Alex's teenage sister. The sister was little more than a... and it was quite annoying that way Alex just shrugged off her loose sexual habits and innuendos, drinking, and drugs. Not worth buying and only worth reading if there's nothing else in the house.

Summary: As Always Great Book
Review: Wonderful suspense and great look into the mind of the villian. Romance sizzled between Joe and Alex. Great reading.
