The Hot Ladies Murder Club

Rating:
Summary: Had its moments, but...
Review: ...ultimately, they couldn't make up for the slow start (it takes a third of the book to even get to the Hot Ladies Murder Club part), or the weak twist of the mystery. I won't give anything away, but I will say that the solution was inconsistent with some things that had happened earlier. That is very annoying and hard to overlook. But most frustrating in this book, believe it or not, was mechanical stuff. The author used elipses and dashes like CRAZY! Every line of dialogue had at least one of each, if not more, and sometimes sentences would end with dashes for no reason. There was just no closure to anything the characters were saying to each other. It was like: "What are you...doing--?" "Just...watching...TV--" "Anything...good...?" "No...not really--" AAH! It was really annoying after awhile because it became jarring to read conversations that you couldn't possibly hear smoothly in your head. There WAS good sexual tension between Hannah and Joe, and I thought Joe was a sexy, likeable character (that is, until he barely spares his recently discovered son a glance b/c he's too preoccupied with getting Hannah into bed). I was mildly interested in the mystery, but not enough to make it an exciting read.

Summary: Good reading here
Review: From the moment he begins deposing her, Joe Campbell knows that Hannah Smith is more than she seems. Beneath her mousiness, he can see a hidden beauty with secrets that he is determined to learn. Hannah, for her part, finds Campbell terrifying. The secrets she keeps are ones that are a matter of life and death, and not even a sexy as sin lawyer can make her reveal them. Yet, when danger from her past threatens, Campbell is the one she turns to for help and protection for her and her daughter.

Within days after their initial meeting, Campbell and Hannah find themselves in an unbelievable nightmare. Campbell is on a hit list, placed there by a joke of Hannah's. Hannah is on the run for her life from a vengeful, insane husband, and Campbell finds himself a reluctant father to his abandoned son and cat.

*** If two people ever needed each other, these two scarred and flawed ones do. The chemistry between them boils over. Passion is spiced with danger and tenderness. While their quick turn from anger to passion might be stretching of one's imagination, nonetheless, the story is compelling and fast paced. ***

They fall in love, but both has demons to overcome, hers being life threatening.

THE HOT LADIES MURDER CLUB is an exciting romantic suspense tale though the final twist feels off kilter. The story line is fast paced as Joe and Hannah combat one another before falling in love. The club formed by the four ladies is reminiscent of a gender bending view of the court room scene of How to Murder Your Wife. Anne Major lives up to her surname as a key sub-genre writer with this exhilarating story.

Review: This book was the worst book I've read in a very long time. I felt like it was a waste of my time. I didn't even finish it. The female character was stupid and her little girl was obnoxious and annoying. One of the stupidest parts of the book was when the main character and her daughter are running for their lives from her stalker husband as he's shooting at them. One of the other characters tells she and her daughter to jump on the back of his motorcycle and he will get them out of there. And she says no I've told my daughter that she can't ever get near motorcycles they are too dangerous. Hello, idiot, your husband is shooting at you! Stupid! This was the first book that I've read by this author and the last. I definitely do not recommend this book. Save your money!

Review: This is an interesting romance and intriguing mystery but it seemed a bit jarbled. The first half of the book was great, but the second seemed rushed and did not go into enough depth for me. Then, when it looked like the book was going to end, it didn't. It seemed like the author threw in one extra twist that was unnecessary and did not flow with the book, and then tried to explain it. Even the characters said it made no sense! In any case, the romance was sweet and most of the book was enjoyable, I just wish it had ended a bit sooner.
