Shameless

Rating:
Summary: Good overnight read!
Review: I was very disappointed in this book. I have read many of Ann Major's romance novels and this is the first time I've been so disappointed. This is also the first time I've been tempted not to finish a Silhouette novel - it was that bad. Still, I forced myself to perservere to the end, continually hoping it would get better. The heroine, Celeste Cavanaugh, fits the stereotype of the dumb blonde from beginning to end. Her thought processes work in a circular loop with no end. She seems to be unable to articulate her thoughts or present a cogent argument as to why she must continually hide information from the hero, Phillip. Meanwhile, Phillip seems to be obsessed with Celeste's body and spends little to no time focused on any other reasons for falling in love with her. Finally, the title is misleading. There's nothing shameless in this book except how it shamelessly fails to make for a good solid love story about two interesting people.

Review: The adventure aspects are a little predictable. But I wasn't out for a mystery romance. This is a very good Ann Major novel about
a woman fleeing organized crime, and running straight into the arms of an old lover---that she rejected. A little slow to start.
But the passion picks up pace, with a breezy romance story.
