The book was okay. I little slow in the the beginning, but the serial killer plot was good and more intense than other romantic suspense books I have read with a serial killer plot. The sexual tension and sex scenes between hero and heroine were better than average. I also like Jaid Black's dialogue and thinking processes. Some books "dumb down" and make the hero and heroine stupid. Black is fresh and I enjoyed the interaction between Thomas and Nikki, the hero and heroine.

This book is very good. I could not put it down. (Stayed up until 3am to finish it.) Suspenseful and steamy. Characters were interesting and not run of the mill. This is the best one I have read from this author, so far. I hope she has others like it.

So this was my first full length book by Jaid Black...

It's not as spicy as her EC titles, but for a mass market paperback, it was pretty heated (definitely enough to stand out from the standard fare of contemporary romances!)! It took a little bit to really get started, but once it got there kept my attention the whole way through!

and I liked both the heroine and Hero, as well as the secondary characters: I loved the mindset of the h, as hers was easier to relate to than others I've come across. And who doesn't love an intelligent heroine to boot?

And the Hero... definitely worth some drool!

And those secondary characters weren't bad either, though I will admit to thinking the book spent a little too much time with them then strictly necessary.

As for the suspense, It was pretty good for such a short book! The mystery of who the big bad was kept me guessing the whole way through!so...

This one's found a permanent home on my shelf!

I'm a big fan of romantic suspense, but this was, as my title suggests, just OK for me. I liked the characters, but it seemed like Black was trying just a bit too hard to throw you off the trail of the killer's identity by tossing in extraneous characters everywhere. The dialogue was a bit heavy at times, but the suspense was good. In all, a book I'm glad I picked up, but probably wouldn't read again.

this is not romantic suspense-this is pornography disguised as such. The gist of this book is submissive/domination sex. Graphic-be forewarned. Horrible:(

a dream lover can be a nightmare

1st book I've read by this author. Hot, hot, hot. Great story-myster & romance combined.
