review 1: Reviewed by MarissaBook provided by the author for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookLove and Punishment is an intriguing story that delves into the minds of each of the characters. It starts right off with the kidnapping of the main character Flynn Parker by a psychopathic serial killer.I found the characters a little blah. They were okay but nothing great.Flynn seemed to have more control over his emotions than someone who had been kidnapped and sexually assaulted should have been. He was otherwise a likeable character, protecting those he loved from the machinations of a deranged mad man he couldn’t identify.Anthony was the stereotypical detective – stern yet loving, formidable yet supportive. I loved it when he threw out Italian phrases. I kept my... more translator handy to make sure I knew what he was saying and the endearments were just that – endearing.One thing I did not like at all were the character’s thoughts that popped up occasionally. While the story is written from each of character’s point of view, the thoughts just didn’t seem to fit in with the narrative. They stood out as if separate and tended to break my concentration on the story.Overall it was a good story, an enthralling look at several sides of a serial killer: Flynn, the victim who survived and feared for not only his life but for those he loved; Anthony, Flynn’s lover and the detective sworn to bring in the killer at all costs; Blair, the serial killer himself; and Marshall, the man who loves Blair.
review 2: Susan Mac Nicol is one of my favorite writers and I'll tell you why...She stole my breath away with Worth Keeping, had me crying and laughing in Waiting for Rain, got me a little freaked out with Double Alchemy and now this..Love and Punishment. She is so diversified in her writing of stories that it's just blows you away.Love and Punishment from the very begining of the book has you going and going and going. There isn't a dull moment in this book and what Susan does it take you the reader along for the ride. This book is a mystery romance and the story centers around the The Bow Tie Killer of London a psychological serial killer. Detective Anthony Parglietto is determined to catch this killer once and for all and put an end to this case.The problem is that when the case comes too close to home what will Detective Parglietto do. When Anthony's boyfriend Flynn Parker becomes a target in this case it a full blown all out war with the killer and it's going to take everything that Anthony has learned through years as a detective to get his killer and keep his man safe. Flynn as a reporter has wanted to get in the mind of the killer. Well he get his wish just not the way he visioned it.Susan doesn't let us down with the way she writes this story with all the twists and turns. You are on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. less
