Summary: Couldn't even finish it!
Review: I've been a big fan of Ms. Graham's since back when she was writing the Civil War series (One wore blue..., etc.) however, she should stick with Historical Romances, rather than Contemporary.I usually always finish books, no matter how bad, once I start them, because I assume the book might pick up. Well, that was not the case here. The heroine was too abrasive, and the hero was a little thick. I've never understood people who would rather let people believe the worst of them, rather than tell the truth. There was simply no reason why the heroine immediately assumed the worst had happened to her friend, especially since she had said that the girl had frequently forgotten plans they had made. Just because she had taken time off from work, was no reason to assume the friend who remember their plans, if she has never done so in the past. And as for Dane, just because he was sent a picture of the dead girl on his beach, was no reason not to go to the police, rather than play detective himself. Especially since he was friends with an individual on the tribal police. The characters were highly unbelievable, and they made stupid mistakes. I put the book down and I have no intention of ever picking it up again.

Summary: No more "Murmuring", please!
Review: I've read two of Heather Graham's books so far, and this will be my last. Dreadful!
I couldn't bear to read another "she MURMURRED!!"
The characters in this story were shallow and stupid. Absolutely nothing happens until midway through the book and that's just more dull stupidity.
"Night of the Blackbird" was better, but this author tends to create too many boring conversations and irrelevant details.

Summary: strong investigative tale
Review: In Key Largo, Kelsey Cunningham confronts Dane Whitelaw as to the whereabouts of his former lover Sheila Warren missing a week and last seen with him. Dane insists he knows nothing, but Kelsey believes he is lying. She is right as Dane struggles with the photo left under his door that showed a dead Sheila on his property.
Dane tries to persuade Kelsey to stay out, but she refuses and continues to make inquires as to the last of Sheila. However, someone reacts to her investigation by trying to shut her up. As the danger mounts for Kelsey, Dane attempts to learn who is setting him up to take the fall and how to keep the younger sister of a friend safe. Even as she wonders if Dane killed Sheila, Kelsey turns to him as the man she has always loved to protect her and to assist him with learning the truth.
HURRICANE BAY is a strong investigative tale loaded with danger, romance, and deep characterizations. The story line contains romantic elements, but the tale belongs to the action and tension of the investigation. Kelsey is an intrepid heroine refusing to quit though she places her life in danger. Dane is the strong silent type who knows he must find out who is setting him up while keeping his beloved safe. Though why Kelsey would place herself in peril as she does (even Dane questions that) seems a stretch even for the deepest of friendships, fans will relish Heather Graham's strong stormy tale.

Summary: Boring!
Review: Kelsey didn't have two brain cells to rub together evidenced by the fact that she intentionally involved herself in dangerous situations. She also acted like she was above everyone else and refused to believe that a friend she'd had little contact with for years could have "changed". There was virtually no character development and the romance was not at all convincing. What was the whole story behind St. Augustine and what happened between Kelsey and Dane after her brother's death? There were also pages of useless dialogue, who cares about an involved discussion of where to go to dinner. Again, boring!!

Summary: Not worth it
Review: Romance writer Heather Graham has extended her enormous talent into the suspense genre and Hurricane Bay is a wonderful start. The plot may be a little sticky and unbelievable, but the characters and their entwined relationships are wonderful. I loved the small-town feeling and the just-returned-home, meet-the-old-gang scene. I thought the story itself could have been a little fuller and the motives a little more in-depth, but the exchanges between the characters make this fun read a lovely experience.

Review: She has become one of my favorite authers in the thriller category. This is a great summer read. It has the mystery and romance that kept me turning the pages. I actually didn't want the book to end because it has everything I like to find in a book for summer.

Summary: First-Rate Romantic Suspense
Review: The Florida Keys is an idyllic paradise that harbors a murderer in this latest romantic suspense from Ms. Graham. When Kelsey Cunningham takes a vacation from her busy job in Miami, she agrees to spend the week at the Florida Keys duplex of old chum Sheila Warren. But Sheila is missing, and none of Kelsey's old friends seem concerned, as Sheila is somewhat of a free spirit. And Kelsey must, once again, confront Dane Whitelaw, an old flame and the last person to see Sheila alive. As Kelsey and Dane attempt to discover Sheila's whereabouts, each is unwilling to trust the other, and Dane appears even more evasive, because his secrets would have disastrous effects if they became known. Their attraction becomes more volatile, and they are unwilling partners as their search for a possible serial killer leads them to Miami's strip clubs and the home of Sheila's sleazy stepfather. The cast of supporting characters adds depth to the read as it increases the number of suspects implicated in Sheila's disappearance. There is Cindy, the enterprising fitness dynamo who owns a t-shirt business. Nate, Kelsey's ex, runs a local bar, and admits to having once had a relationship with Sheila. Larry, Sheila's ex, never really got over the divorce. Izzy may be Sheila's supplier, but no one knows for sure. And Jorge makes mysterious boat runs as he dumps cargo overboard. The suspense is superb: it builds slowly and begins to spin out of control as the killer gets frightened that someone is getting too close to the truth. Readers won't be disappointed when this page-turning read packs one wallop of a conclusion.
