Smoke and Mirrors (Silhouette Intimate Moments, No. 1146)

Rating:
Summary: New life to IM series
Review: There is fresh air in the Intimate Moments line, and its name is Jenna Mills. Ms. Mills offers a sensual and hair-raising romantic suspense story with a strong romantic conflict and credible characters. Although some of the push-pull between the hero and heroine becomes repetitive, and the heroine's bottled-up feelings are a bit maudlin and overdone, the intrigue and smoky atmosphere draw the reader into the story, making the book tough to put down. The ending could have been stronger-Ms. Mills does fall back on the old "I almost lost you so all is forgiven" trick, which is a bit anticlimatic after such a wild ride, but overall, well done. A series writer to watch.
