Mmmm. Not wonderful. Actually, the mystery/adventure is fine - that works, it's not quite _reasonable_ but I can manage the suspension of disbelief. The romance is much less good. Actually, there's just one line that drove me nuts - they've got wild attraction, she's keeping away from him because he's Faye's (ex) husband - suddenly she stops and says to herself 'You are _not_ falling in love with him!'. First mention of 'love' - lots of attraction, but there was not even a previous mention that she doesn't sleep around or anything like that. An egregious reference to the standard romance trope of great sex/strong attraction (especially to the wrong person) = true love. After that comment, the romance proceeded as normal - attraction, attraction, attraction, sex, crisis, love admitted. But that one comment had destroyed it for me - made it too clearly a genre trope. Pity, it's a reasonably good mystery, but as a romance...no. I had Dani Sinclair on my 'good authors' list - I'm afraid I'm going to have to take her off. The last several of hers I've read have varied from poor to good, rather than from good to very good as I'd expected. Sigh. ( )
