Summary: Excellent Police Story & Frist Rate Romance. Powerful Author
Review: The challenge with a Police story romance is integrating a compelling police drama with a "keeper" romance. Many authors cannot do this. Either the story or the romance suffers. Often you get a poor police story and a poor romance. In this story, however, Debra Cowan has met the challenge with flying colors. The police story is first rate. Even better, the romance remains the focus of the story from the first page to the last. The love scenes are exceptionally powerful because they are the logical outcome of the particular characters' development throughout the story. You have no doubt that these two people, the hero and heroine, would have the heighten romantic experiences described -- given who they are and what actions preceded the love scene. This is very good writing. You can tell the author enjoys writing the love scenes. Probably because she really cares about her characters. (Too, many police story authors want to get the love scene "over with" so they can get on with the mystery.) Debra Cowan's love scenes are very similar in sensitivity, quality, and sincerity to Justine Davis's who I consider a master. Debra Cowan is at full command of her powers as a writer and should produce many more fine works. As far as the Police romance story goes, this is an example of how to do it.
