Masquerade (Portraits)

Rating:
Summary: Spine-Chilling Mystery. Tender Romance.
Review: I have read each of the books in the new PORTRAITS line of contemporary romance and Masquerade was my favorite by far. Not only is the plot tense and frightening, but the romance between the two lead characters makes my heart ache with its tender sweetness. This is a suspenseful love story that doesn't stoop to implicit sexuality or excess violence. Author B.J. Hoff doesn't need either to deliver a heart-pounding, riveting read

Summary: Why is it called Masquerade?
Review: I read this several months ago and I can't remember now why it has this title. I'm sure there was some significance... Anyway, while this isn't as good as the Emerald Ballad series (which I think is B.J. Hoff's masterpiece), it was very good and I hated to put it down. Yes, it is the typical story - Girl plunges into unknown danger and Handsome Man comes along and pulls her out of it - but I thought it was well written and interesting.
