I know it is unfair to compare authors but in this case I feel justified. I read this book a few days after reading Linda Howard's Cover of Night and I couldn't help but compare the two. Both books are placed in the wilderness (little towns in Idaho and Wyoming) but NR did a better job of getting the reader to appreciate the beauty of the setting. I had a chance in May to be in both states and Ms. Roberts reminded me again that I actually preferred the landscape of Wyoming and Montana over Idaho and Nevada. She also did a better job in depicting more realistic and more relatable characters. Oh yes, I prefer a writer-turned handyman to a Marine Special Forces-turned Rambo. And I sympathize with a Cordon Bleu trained chef-turned-cook and recipe writer compared to a Marketing Executive-turned-Baking Whiz. Actually, to go straight to the point, NR did a better job in all aspects of comparison: the suspense, the mystery, the action and most especially the romance. After all, this is why I buy and read these books. It's for the ROMANCE!!!   hide

A friend recommended this book to me, and I was pleasantly surprised when I liked it as much as she did. It really does keep you guessing, because even though she had already told me who the killer was, I was convinced it was someone else. I love the details of this book, not only is it suspenseful, but it paints a very thorough picture of the characters' every day lives. You feel like you're reading about people you actually know. ;D   hide

I enjoyed this book very much. The characters were entertaining and developed in depth. The scenary beautifully painted and the story kept you guesssing while still remaining a light read. PS. I thought the sex scenes in this book was fan-fucking-tastic. Just a touch on the erotic, but not overly romantized, nor too much information to make it boring.    hide

This is one of the rare books you come across that you can't put down. It was amazing. The way the mystery kept you on your toes. I have to brag a little though. I knew who the killer was before the 6th chapter. When Rick said "There are different kinds of men" in response to Lo's comment about hitting women give him away as someone who was capable of doing a lot.   hide

A perfect example of a really well written thriller-cum-romance novel. She potrays Reece, the victim of a New-York restraunt shoot-out aptly and evokes our symapthy for her. Brody, the novelist, is a likable character too. The ending of the book is a must-read! I never expected Deena's murderer to be him!   hide
