Summary: A thread in a new mystery series.
Review: Jonathan Steele warned his half-brother David that he must replace embezzled funds or face arrest. David laughs him off, stating that while he and his wife are out of the country, Jonathan will suffer a fatal accident. In short order, a mysterious killer murders David and his wife while Cynthia Morgan drinks poisoned coffee meant for Jonathan. When Cynthia learns Jonathan is now left with custody of his nephew, she offers her company's temporary nanny services. Jonathan agrees, if Cynthia will be the nanny once she is out of the hospital. Jonathan is attracted to Cynthia, but he doesn't believe in love and happily ever after. A nice tale with an unsolved mystery which will be addressed in another author's book. Jonathan's background clearly explains his reluctance to believe in love. The lack of FBI agents swarming around Jonathan after the murder was unrealistic.

Summary: Was this book finished???
Review: While I thought the story line was good, I have to wonder if the story was finished the way the author invisioned it. The book starts out with two people meeting at a charity ball and then a mysterious gunman kills Jonathan Steele's brother and sister-in-law (not a great loss). From there the story starts to fizzle. We never find out who the killer was. Then the FBI is mentioned like two times, but we never find out why they are involved. I did like the romance between Cynthia and Jonathan, but felt the plot could have been developed more to have more of a side story. I will admit it was an easy read (1 day), but I would have rather had a longer book with more explination and excitement.
