review 1: This is the 3rd Harlequin Intrigue by Jana DeLeon that features danger and romance in the steamy Louisiana bayous. (The Secret of Cypriere Bayou and Bayou Bodyguard were both reviewed on this blog, as was Trouble in Mudbug.)DeLeon really knows her stuff, and the Harlequin Intrigue line is perfect for her. She writes the best books chock full of characters you can see in your mind and believe in who happen to be involved in dangerous, spooky adventures. Ginny is one of the "Lost Girls", a group of orphaned or unwanted girls who were gathered together at the LeBlanc School for Girls in Johnson's Bayou. Sixteen years ago Ginny was one of only two girls who survived a tragic and suspicious fire at the school. Suffering from amnesia, both girls have grown up and made live... mores for themselves, never knowing that they were being watched carefully, in case they started remembering what happened that night at the School.Ginny has already started remembering when handsome Paul arrives in the small town. Ginny and Paul start out as partners in mystery-solving, but soon are experiencing an intense attraction enhanced by their dangerous adventures as they try and solve the mystery of what happened that night sixteen years ago.It was hard to put this book down - I wanted to keep reading and see who the bad guy was, and how Ginny and Paul's relationship would evolve. Considering the Harlequin Intrigue line exists for solving mysteries and happy endings, creating a story that kept me reading late into the night is a real testament to the author's skill. This was my 4th book by DeLeon and all 4 have been excellent.
review 2: In Deleon's romantic suspense novel, Ginny was only six when she emerged from the swamp after the LeBlanc School for Girls caught fire one night. Now, sixteen years later with no memory of her past, a child's scream sends Ginny back into the swamp and into the arm's of Paul Stanton. A cop-turned-PI, he's come to Johnson's Bayou to find answers to questions he's spent nearly two decades in search of. His sister had been sent into the foster care system following the death of their parents and had dropped off the radar sixteen years ago. Ginny just might hold the key to his quest but someone was targeting her as her memories begin to resurface. To find a future with Ginny, Paul is forced to help her remember those terrible secrets from years ago. Fast-paced, kept me guessing to the very end. less
