review 1: Dangerous Affairsby Diana MillerMy "in a nutshell" summary...Abby...Hollywood actress and soap opera star...returns to her hometown to get away from a not so faithful husband and write. Little does she know that not so nice surprises await her.My thoughts after reading this book...It's always difficult to write about a mystery. A mystery is so much more fun when events in it are a surprise. This one starts off innocently enough...Abby is vacuuming and finds a bloody knife in the new/ old house that she just bought. She's also getting nasty scary letters and someone actually gets into her house to write very threatening things. On a trip to school with her young daughter she feels a threatening presence...in a hallway. And this is just the beginning. Of course there ... moreis a handsome sheriff in town...who isn't willing to believe Abby about all of these things that she says are happening. He is gruff and hurt...by his own ex wife and in deep denial about his feelings toward Abby.Ok...that's all that I can tell you...I had an idea about the " bad guy" from the start but I was totally off base...this book was fast paced...maybe a bit over the top with the love affair with Abby and Sheriff Josh but it was good...almost clean...fun...it kept me so involved in what was happening that I could barely put it down.What I loved about this book...I loved the setting, the characters and the suspense of this cozy mystery.What I did not love...I actually enjoyed the characters that everyone loves to hate...Abby's ex husband was the perfect creep!Final thoughts...I thoroughly enjoyed this fun cozy mystery. I truly hope there are many more books from this author.
review 2: Abby Langford is known for her role on a popular soap opera. Her character on that show is conniving, aggressive and sleeps with whoever is handy. Abby is just the opposite in real life. She and her husband have just divorced and the tabloids have slaughtered Abby in the press. Accusing her of multiple affairs and behavior her character on her soap would be proud of.Abby is honest and loving and a great mother and friend. After the divorce she moves her daughter back to her hometown in Minnesota wanting her daughter to have an upbringing away from the Hollywood hype and publicity. Abby purchases the house she always wanted as a child and slowly begins to refurbish it while taking on her new career as a mystery writer. When she finds a knife hidden in a wall and begins getting hate mail at the house Josh, the police chief, comes out to investigate. He has his own ideas about Abby and what is really going on, but soon finds it hard to believe what his cynical mind is telling him.I really liked this story. It is a good romantic suspense, and kept me guessing until the end. You really don’t know if Abby’s knife, dreams and stalker are tied together or separate. There is so much going on that the book is never boring. The romance between Josh and Abby is hot and believable and also made the book hard to set down.The story is filled with side characters you love like Abby’s surrogate family, her daughter and Josh’s sister. And then there are the characters in the story you want to stab like Heather and Colin. I have never read two characters more instantly dislikeable! It was making me laugh at myself how much they were aggravating me. I got a little wrapped up in the story.I love a good romantic suspense novel and this one definitely is – I would recommend to anyone wanting a little mystery in between all the snogging. This is my first time reading this author but it has inspired me to be on the lookout for other books.Cherise Everhard, November 2012Amazon Vine book review less
