Rating: Summary: A Page Turner! Review: "Heart of the Night" by Barbara Delinsky has three romances and suspense, it's a real page turner. Don't miss this one. I also recommend "Within Reach"
Rating: Summary: SHOCKS AND SURPRISES ABOUND Review: Bestselling author Delinsky broadens her field with her latest by adding a touch of mystery to romance. Voice performer/director Sandra Burr offers a highly listenable reading to this tale of three women - one of whom is missing. Sisters Savannah and Susan are rivals, perhaps experiencing the sibling jealousies common to many, until they join forces to solve the kidnaping of Megan, a well-to-do mutual friend. As they begin to explore possibilities both are resistibly drawn to two very different men. Jared Snow is a late night disc. jockey with a voice that seduces; Sam Craig is a macho detective whom Susan cannot resist. Shocks and surprises abound as the investigation leads Savannah and Susan further into the discovery of dark machinations and deeper into the heart of love.

Rating: Summary: Stands The Test of Time Review: I had actually forgotten how much I enjoyed this book until I picked it up again last night in the bookstore. I think this is one of the books that not only made me a Delinsky fan, but a romance book fan as well. It is just really well done. And it holds up 15 years after it was first published!Delinsky is more a "women's fiction" writer than a "romance" writer these days -- which is a big loss to the romance genre. My only comfort is that every few years I can pick up one of her best romance titles -- in this case 'Heart of the Night" -- and have a few hours of blissful reading enjoyment once again with familiar but still enjoyable characters. And may I also add that if you liked this book, then you owe it to yourself to pick up Delinsky's "Through My Eyes." It's another title that stands the test of time.
Rating: Summary: Steamy and Suspensful Review: I like Barbara Delinsky's books mostly because she has such a gift in making her characters come to life on each page. "Heart of the Night" definitely has a lot of heart in it. Love, lust, friendship, conflicted loyalties, fraternal twins' jealousies, insecurities, duplicity, real men with you know whats, kidnapping, frame ups and death, and of course the jerks who are bosses and coworkers. The main treat is the pulsating, throbbing voice of Jared Snow the DJ who keeps the ladies in R.I. drooling and doing other things all night long. I can recall having had a "crush" on an all night DJ's voice that was like smooth, creamy, luscious (fill in the blank with your choice) orgasmic-like delight. Mine? - melt in your mouth chocolates! Mmmmm. Well, anyway, although this book was written back in the 80s, it has an aura of timelessness that the author comments upon herself. I agree. And, in my opinion, of all Delinsky's books this one will remain my favorite. It is a wonderful, thoughtful tale filled with deeply drawn characters who remain in your heart and mind long after the last page. Buy it, enjoy it, and have some luscious Godiva or Sees while you read.

Rating: Summary: HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS BOOK! I THINK EVERY WOMAN HAS IMAGINED WHAT A SEXY SOUNDING DJ LOOKS LIKE. WE HAVE A REAL SMOOTH TALKER HERE IN AUSTIN ON MAIGC 95.5; BARBARA DELINSKY MUST HAVE HEAR HIM WHILE SHE WAS HERE ON TOUR AND CREATED JARED! JARED SNOW IS A WONDERFUL CHARACTER. IF ONLY REAL MEN WERE MORE LIKE HIM! YOU FORGET THAT SAVANNAH AND JARED HAVE ONLY KNOWN EACH OTHER SUCH A SHORT TIME BEFORE BECOMING DEEPLY INVOLVED WITH ONE ANOTHER. IT ISN'T HARD TO BUY. TO ME, IT WAS HEART WARMING!
THE SISTER RELATIONSHIP IS AWESOME AND THEIR FRIENDSHIP WITH MEAGAN IS COMPLEX. SAM CRAIG IS "REAL" AND FUNNY!
THIS IS AN AWESOME READ. ONCE I PICKED IT UP, I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. I AM NEW TO DELINSKY, HAVING ONLY READ FOUR OF HER NOVELS, BUT I AM HOOKED! I LOVE HER STYLE OF WRITING AND ALL OF THE BOOKS HAVE VERY GOOD FLOW. ONCE YOU START...IT IS HARD TO STOP. I'M ON LINE SNATCHING UP EVERYTHING SHE HAS WRITTEN NOW! I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE HAS WRITTEN SINCE THIS, BUT IF IT IS ANYTHING CLOSE TO HEART OF THE NIGHT, I AM SOLD!
