review 1: I like how each of the Bennett books are set in different countries. The first one was in Hong Kong and this second one is in Australia. I also think it's interesting how Kelly Hunter's characters have unusual jobs - in this one, the female MC is a jewely designer while the male MC is an Interpol cop. The humor that I really enjoyed in the first book was here as well but I would have liked more of it. There was a little too much angst in this book. Also, I thought it was a bit unrealistic for Erin to take Tristan rock climbing without prior training - couldn't they have gone wall climbing first? I got the feeling climbing outdoors like that is too dangerous for someone who has never done it before. I really liked this snippet though:"The sky was ablaze with colour. Fiery o... moreranges, and reds streaked with indigo, and a smattering of wispy grey cloud. Not your typical tropical island sunset, nothing like it, she thought in awe. This sky was all about power and raw, undiluted glory over an earth that was stark and barren. It was primitive and overwhelming and it slammed into her like a fist, daring her to be as bold when it came to living her life and making the most of the moments she was given. Like now, beneath a cinnamon sky at a secluded oasis. With a man she couldn't even look at without wanting. And wondering what it would take to chase the shadows from his eyes."
review 2: The second in the series, about the Interpol brother, who is burnt out from his job so goes back home, his cab driver is the heroine, who does this as a side job while she tries to get her jewellery thing going. He hears that her brother the army man backed off a stone buying spree, he in jest volunteers his services never thinking she will take it up and she has no intention to but agrees when she can find no-one else and before a full yes he has to attend a brunch with her mother, in which he finds himself thoroughly interrogated. I loved the heroine, she was so spunky and could look through the hero and his walls and his nightmares, his job is an aversion to her because she wants a man who doesn't have to keep secrets for his job's sake but their attraction is undeniable. I loved the sexual tension filled banter between them and how he fell like a ton of bricks for her and didn't want to since he saw his father fall apart after his mother died and he didn't want to make himself that vulnerable. I loved every part of the book, these two were amazing. less
