Summary: A promising new author
Review: A Scent in The Night is a excellent book for this new author. I really enjoyed the struggles that the hero and heroine went through before they could commmitt to each other. You could actually feel thier inner turmoil.
I really enjoyed all the unsuspecting twist and turns the book gave me. Not to give anything away, this book kept me on my toes and I could not put it down until I had finished it.
I also enjoyed the information on cooking and wines. It did not distract from the book at all. It just gave me an added bouns.
This is a contemporary thirller. This is a MUST read I give this author 4 1/2 Stars. I loved it.

Summary: SIZZLING, HOT NEW SAGA
Review: I came across this book because the author is also a winemaker. I drank some of her wines, all named after characters of this book, each described with their own personalities, their own temperament and taste, and excellent, if I may add. Naturally, I wondered what secrets were still held by this story. There are book covers and then there are book covers. One woman is present in three different depictions, one each more intense than the other. So I wondered again at what the 364 pages could possibly hold. A Scent In The Night enlightened me, and gave me more. HOT can easily describe the sexual relationship between the hero and heroine but it's not enough. Amidst some of the incredibly sad moments, are words of hope, words of humor, and one surprise after another. This is a romance about love, of course, but also about hatred, about the unofficial wars of this world and how two people struggle to wrestle out the ghosts in their lives. It's your romance novel with a bit of wisdom, with politics and lots of reality. You'll learn about the culinary arts, about the French part of Canada, and yes, you'll see them deal with Irish terrorism. It's ACTION packed, both in the bedroom and out and as INTENSE as they come. I read the previous review, and if it's true that this is the first story from this author, I can't wait for the next. It's well worth four and ½ stars.

Summary: A STORY THAT READS LIKE A MOVIE
Review: I love Nora Roberts, and if you do as well, if like me, you seek for characters with character, beautiful settings and a touch of the suspense thriller, you will not be disappointed. For a relatively unknown author and publisher, this is a superb story. For a reader who wants to be transported, it is a delightful surprise. Galen-the mouth watering David-like Adonis Kennedy - is certainly no umblemished hero, but he is true. Lorelei Duplessis, although oppressed from her past, remains steadfast and dares where no woman would. Justin, the other stud, whom you know will eventually walk toward a story of his own, in the meantime, remains a very strong secondary hero. You fall in love with the characters so easily, so seriously, I actually came to believe in them.
The plot reads like a movie; the sub plots all converge together in the end so that you have the urge, shortly after finishing this book, to read it all over again and re-live the moments. You feel the danger, the despair, the wonder, death being sought and the adventure. The sensuality impregnating all of the intimate moments is what got me the most, and had me thinking on how heated sex can be, how lasting and how intense one can live it. Who says erotism cannot be meaningful?
I give this book 5 stars because it is able to give you much in return, the most important being the illusion that Lorelei and Galen live in your own back yard, and that their adventure can one day become yours.
