These are the moments when I wish I had a bigger option in rating as to separate negative ratings from the nilch/zero/not good but not awfully bad ones. :/ This book stands strongly in this latter category: it's not overly bad, it simply lacks anythin ...more

3.5 Lovely to read but the nits were strong enough that I couldn't give it more than a middle range rating. The tension was good, but the weak beginning and weak ending marred a bit the experience for me. - The beginning:(view spoiler)[ I can believe s ...more

I'm starting to believe that there are 2 Linda Howard out there (or if you prefer she suffers from split personality disorder). There's one Linda who writes intriguing plots and strong leading ladies. Her books may not be all 4/5 star, but they are s ...more

DNF 40% A case of a wrong blurb and the wrong reader. They had a one night stand, not a torrid affair. When she returns she's sure of nothing, even less of herself. Rule, I got no idea. If there was a suspense element I had yet to see. What I got: a b ...more

I liked it more than the first in the series. Stronger heroine, a hero that actually understands.

3 1\2 Linda Howard knows how to write romance without white washing all the truth. The heroine had some tough choices made for her, and the hero was "saved" only in loving her. He doesn't become a white knight all of a sudden. He never was. He'll neve ...more

I think this is the best book Ms Diener has written until now. A mix of sci fi e fantasy, it has a strong female lead that was easy to like. The story has an end, but as this is a trilogy, it's not fully satisfying :) One thread ends, but the others w ...more

2 1/2 Pretty bland, easily read, easily forgotten. It doesn't read as contemporary romance, but almost a western. And if it hadn't been for cars, I would have sworn by it too. Even thinking it has been written in the late 80's it's so old fashioned t ...more
