Night Moves (Wheeler Large Print Compass Series)

Summary: A great suspense with lukewarm romance......
Review: NIGHT MOVES was a romantic suspense that I picked up with high expectations. Needless to say, I was dissapointed, but I would recommend this book to those who enjoy more suspense than romance.

Jordan Curry's life-long friend drops her four year old son off in the middle of the night with instructions not to tell anyone where he is. It is a matter of life and death.

Beau Somerville is an architect who was set up on a blind date with Jordan. When he waits and the restrurant and she doesn't show he goes by her house, thinking that he got the day wrong.

Beau is immediatley drawn to the small boy who reminds him so much of the son he lost. Ms. Taylor takes us on the journey of Beau, who is trying to overcome his demons and trying not to let Jordan and Spencer down. Jordan doesn't want to be involved with anyone, but finds herself reluctantly attracted to Beau. Chaos ensues when a hitman is trying to find Spencer after murdering his parents.

I thought Beau was a little to weak for a hero of a romantic suspense. Jordan let Spencer hurt her feelings a little too often. And Spencer acted way to old for a four year old.

I keep a pile of books to trade and books to keep and re-read. This one will get traded in.

Summary: exciting romantic intrigue
Review: Out of the blue, Phoebe, her best friend from her Pennsylvania hometown, arrives at Jordan Curry's DC home. Jordan would do anything for Phoebe, her former maid of honor who helped her get through being jilted at the alter. However, Phoebe's request is a shocker especially since the woman provides no explanation as to why. Phoebe begs Jordan to watch her four-year-old son Spencer for a while. Jordan agrees assuming that Phoebe's desperate need has something to do with the work of her spouse Reno.

Soon afterward, Jordan's blind date Beau Somerville arrives. Seeing the kid shakes Beau up as it reminds him of his loss, that of his wife and child. When the media announce the murders of Phoebe and Reno with the disappearance of their child, Beau decides to help Jordan keep Spencer safe. As they fall in love, a stalker closes in on the little boy, leaving two adults with no time to ponder their baggage obtained from the past as the demon haunts Spencer in the present.

Night Moves is an exciting romantic intrigue that is brimming with action. Jordan is an intrepid heroine who conquers her fears to do the right thing. Though why Beau got involved is not as easy to accept, fans will feel for a traumatized Spencer, whose apprehension of an attack seems so real that the audience will want to comfort him. Though the romance takes a back seat to the suspense, readers will delight in Janelle Taylor's latest thriller.
