review 1: Ok, I haven't actually finished this, I'm a little over half way done, and I want so badly to love it, the plot is awesome, but the writing is so overblown I can barely get through it. Reactions are over the top, descriptions are too long. I am approaching the big sex scene, and I am cringing at the thought of how it is likely to be described. really disappointed.ETA I have finished the book. the sex scene read like something out of a seventies harlequin romance, The investigator was incompetent, and the plot itself ended up being as overblown as the rest of the book. Also, I guessed who the mastermind was the moment I knew there was a mastermind involved. Too cliched for words.
review 2: Rating: 4,5 starsVery good mstery thriller with a romance inside! I'... moreve read some review that said this book had no romance but it does, the romance is just not the main point of the story, but it's there.This book has a story and it's focus is more on the mystery of crime which left a lot of questions for the police and the one left behind, Chris. One year after thinking his daughter and lover might have been murdered, a chance encounter brings new information about the lover he didn't know as well as he thought.The police did give up on his case, but a private investigator, the former FBI agent Jason Kingsley, offers Chris his help. Not all is like it seems and something is rotten in Seattle city and Jason wants to find out what is going on but not all want him to find the truth. The race begins,as new motives are uncovered and feelings come into play. Chris and Jason have to work together on this case and Jason might find that in this case the stakes are especially high for him, while he might solve the mystery, to win Chris's heart will be definitely harder.I was impressed with this book, since it was one of the best Dreamspinner books that I've read this year and that from a debut author! There is a lot of good sexual tension between Chris and Jason but it was not the prime focus of the story. Chris was hurt and grieving for the loss of his daughter, so it's natural that his first thought didn't turn towards a new lover.Still the book is not a romance but a mystery thriller with a sweet love story, which takes a lot of time to develop but that fits the book. The book is well written, with a solid story line, good tension and it held me captive until the last page. I'm looking forward to more books from this author! less
