Natural Born Hit
+ Great, Fun Read
+ Natural Vorn Charmer
I have become a SEP junkie and have plowed through almost every book of hers I can get my hands on in the past month or so. This was a great heart warming story of family, love,redemption, second chances and healing. The characters are well thought out and stay with you long after the last page is ...

Simple Genius
David Baldacci
Warner Books, 2007
A bad war produces bad effects
There is a fascinating style in Baldacci's books. We are always dealing with state business and crime intertwined in the plot. In this case the CIA, the FBI and the DEA are concerned. They are shown as shady and even dangerous if not criminal from the very start. Then two intriguing levels are ...

Crippled Dreams & Love and Madness
David Rehak
CreateSpace, 2008
long-ago settings, timeless themes
These two novels in one now re-published are already separately reviewed a bunch of times, probably far more effectively than I ever could manage, but I just wanted to add one thing. I'm amazed by the economy of words, never is a word wasted on unnecessary prose. The plot moves the story for long ...

Secrets of Surrender
Madeline Hunter
Dell, 2008
Better than the last, not as good as the first
Given the fact that the set up caused the hero and heroine to marry early, this book lacked the sexual tension and "getting to know you" aspects that, for me, make a romance novel great.
I also did not like the parade of characters from prior books without whom there apparently wasn't much of a ...

The Sleeping Doll: A Novel (Kathryn Dance Novels)
Jeffery Deaver
Pocket Star, 2008
Excellent
+ Sleeping Doll fun & "fictionally real"!
Full of twist, turns and suprises. It is one of the best books I've read in a long time, though a bit too wordy, otherwise an excellent book. I thought Katherine and Michael were great lead characters. The tension between the two -- romance but can't because he's married -- made the book much ...
