Summary: Taut, exciting tale!
Review: This is a very taut well crafted thriller about Julie and Mac (a police detective) on the run from Julie's mobster husband and his connections. It's loaded with excitement and thrills. Amazon's editorial review does plenty to describe the plot. The reason I am writing this review is because there is just one cautionary note I would add here. There are some extremely graphic sensuous scenes -- one went on for three pages straight, never letting up. For those who enjoy these scenes, it's great reading, but for those who don't want to read the raw sensuality in part of this book, you may want to skip a few pages. Still well worth reading.

Summary: An Excellent Read!
Review: To Trust A Stranger by Karen Robards is absolutely wonderful.
This is the first book that I have read by the author. The book is a combination of mystery and romance. It is simply amazing how the author had a seemingly perfect family involved with so many secrets. Julie Carlson and Sid Carlson marriage was based on a lie from the beginning. Julie ended up trusting a total stranger, Mac, who was a private investigator. One of the best parts in this story was about the love for Mac's dog named, Josephine. If you love a good story, you just have to read this book. The reader plans to go back and read Mrs. Robards previous novels. Recommend her to your friends!!!

Summary: My favorite of Karen Robards
Review: To Trust a Stranger is my favorite Karen Robards book so far and I have enjoyed her other work as well. I just liked Mac so much from the beginning it added to my enjoyment of the book. A big, masculine guy who is comfortable enough in his own skin to dress in drag in order to spy on a cheating spouse for his client was so funny. He's got this attitude like "Yeah, so, I'm in a dress." Then Julie runs into him while out doing her own spying on her husband. She lets Mac help her simply because she's thinking of him as a "Girlfriend." Her assumption about Mac's sexual orientation gives her that impression that it's nice to have a man around who will be nothing more than a friend. Of course all that changes as things start coming out into the open. Julie's husband is doing more than cheating and Mac isn't who she thinks he is. Around every corner there is something unexpected popping up and it was an enjoyable read. I first heard the abridged audio of this book and it really didn't do the book justice. It leaned toward the humor and there is much more to the story than that, so I picked up the book and was glad I did. As others have mentioned it's pretty steamy so I like to add that in so you don't pick up this book and then are shocked that it's in there. This book has some definite HEAT coming off of it so be warned. Julie is kind of annoying but for me Mac made up for it by miles and miles. I really like this book and have read it several times now.

Summary: Trust this awesome book for a good read!!
Review: To Trust a Stranger was so awesome I could not put it down! I'll admit the heroine was a bit of a let down simply because of her problem with her image and food. But it was steamy as usual and one of Ms. Robard's best!! Read it! You won't be dissapointed!

Summary: One of Robards' best!
Review: We have had so many tough world events lately that I decided I would like to read a foolish "beach book". I can't believe this writer really has any fans - they really need to get a life. Give me a break - this author must laugh all the way to the bank writing such dribble that people actually pay to read. I picked this book up for free - thank god I didn't pay a penny for it. I always force myself to finish a book once I start it - this was a tough one and it ended just as I figured it would. There were no surprises.
