5 out of 5 stars Book #2 of the Foster Sisters.......2007-08-13

I liked the Foster sisters books.

The sisters have a "sub job" of running around their small town and replacing mailboxes with decorated ones they create in their basement. LOL

I laughed thru both of these books!

This is Willow's story. What a delightful book. Willow is an attorney who gets mixed up in a coverup of contaminated water.

Duncan, who has liked Willow since the first Foster book, just ADORES her and follows her around. She thinks he's a...troglodyte...Hey, I had to look that up! It's only in the unabridged dictionaries! LOL LOL LOL LOL

Low and behold, the troglodyte was not what she thought. Don't want to spoil the book, so that's all I'll say.

Wonderful story and I think I'll read it again--very soon.

4 out of 5 stars If you like lots of beefcake!.......2007-08-08

If you liked the beefcake line-up in The Seductive Imposter, get ready to meet all the guys again, yum. Duncan Ross, the gorgeous Scotsman who runs the local pub, has made his interest in Assistant Attorney General Willow Foster crystal clear. Ever since they went to bed together for one blazing night eighteen months previously, he's `making himself available', oh my. It's a long time to stay celibate and he's oh-SO-ready to break the drought. Willow herself gets caught up in some fishy business when local fishermen ask her to look into why lobsters are sickening around an island off the coast of Maine. Naturally certain villains get twitchy, and all sorts of things suddenly go shockingly wrong for Willow - her files get raided, she has a near fatal car accident which sets her up for a DUI charge, an astonishing amount of money lands in `her' overseas account from mysterious sources. Everything criminal points to her! Duncan (naturally) puts on his hero gear, and he and his drool-worthy buddies muscle in to help Willow. A great romantic suspense, with a climax that will blow you out of the water!

4 out of 5 stars Entertaining and Amusing .......2007-01-25

Book One
I'm not sure what to say about this book, except I really enjoyed it. There's so many emotions from start to finish. I laughed out loud when Rachel first met Mickey Mouse because she was afraid he was going to eat her. And the night she and her sister went to display Puffy in the park. (You have to read the book to find out who Mickey Mouse and Puffy are). And the love scenes with her and Kee can make your heart race! (Are they called scenes in a book?) Oh, did I forget to say it has some suspense you might enjoy.

Just wait until you meet Duncan in book two !!

Where are all these hunky sexually attractive men

the story will have you rooting for the guy to win the girl.what he goes to get the girl.you just have to root for the guy.at the the end when she asks him to marry her.

5 out of 5 stars A good one.......2006-12-22

If you read this book expecting the greatest thriller or perhaps the hottest love story around you'll get disappointed. If you read it just to have a good time and to enjoy the pages written you'll have a merry time. This is the first book of the series that I read so I can't compare this book with the others, but nonetheless I like it very much.

Book Description

For Lausanne Raney, romance meant nothing but trouble. Once it cost her her freedom and her baby girl. Now she's got a respectable life…but desperately needs money to find her child. When she accepts an unusual offer from her wealthy employer's daughter, she finds herself under deadly suspicion--and the unwanted protection of security agent Domingo Shea. Bad enough the courageously honest ex-Navy SEAL doesn't completely trust Lausanne any more than she does him. But worse still, the instant electric attraction between them is impossible to resist. And the deeper their investigation goes, the more Lausanne struggles to convince Dom to leave her--for both their sakes. But with a ruthless killer lying in wait, there will soon be no safe place for her or Dom to hide…

2 out of 5 stars Do not waste your money .......2007-01-30

I would have to agree with the other reviews. The female lead in the book just whines throughout the whole book. It took me took me two weeks to finish the book. If you are looking for a great read from Ms. Barton; read some of her earlier Protector Series books. Very disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Dangerous Deception.......2007-01-08

Lausanne Raney hasn't had an easy life. Forced to give up her daughter, convicted of a crime she did not commit, Lausanne only wants to lead a respectable life and find her daughter. When her employers daughter, Audrey, asks her to travel around the southeast and impersonate Audrey, Lausanne becomes embroiled in an intrigue that could prove deadly.
Private investigator and security specialist Domingo Shea is called in to find the missing Audrey. With Lausanne the last link to Audrey, Dom must set aside his feelings for Lausanne. While Dom doesn't completely trust Lausanne, he is incredibly attracted to her. With a killer hot on a Lausanne's heels, Dom finds himself not only protecting her, but wanting to believe in her too.

I hadn't read any of Beverly Barton's books before and I have been missing out. I am already searching for all the books from the Protectors series. I loved Dom and I can't wait to fall in love with more of Beverly Barton's Alpha men.

Full of suspense that kept me guessing and plenty of chemistry between Dom and Lausanne, I really loved Dangerous Deceptions. After I read the last page, I hugged the book to my chest and sighed a happy satisfied sigh.

2 out of 5 stars This can't be a new title!.......2006-12-26

Dangerous Deceptions should have been a good story. Not that I was expecting anything different from the usual romantic suspense being churned out these days but Barton's new book is surprisngly bad. The writing is reminiscent of something out of the early category titles that I wondered if this is another one of those publishing cheats. You know what I mean - those old titles dressed up to look new (like they do with Elizabeth Lowell) and nothing to warn you you're buying an old, old book. Well, Dangerous Deceptions reads like one of those dated books and my surprise is because Barton's previous books were quite different from DD. The writing in her previous romantic suspense were far more sophisticated, her characters less cheesy so I was actually thrilled when I read Dom Shea is an ex-SEAL, being a sucker for these alpha heroes.

Unfortunately, Dangerous Deception turned out to be a deception, indeed. Give it a miss and go get Sandra Brown's Ricochet instead. Of, if you can only afford a paperback, get Michele Jaffe's Bad Girl. Don't be put off by that horrendous cover, though of the two, Ricochet is a steamier read and Bad Girl heavier on the police procedural.

2 out of 5 stars disappointing.......2006-11-25

Began to hate ther heroine as she whined constantly about her poor choices which led to an unwanted pregnancy at 16 and a 5 year stint in prison. The main part of the story involves Lausanne,the heroine, involved in an impersonation plot, that she is too stupid to realize will only get her into deep trouble. After the impersonation is disclosed and she is nearly arrested for murder, she continues to do stupid improbable things. Once the hero finds out that the woman who hired her is in Brazil, he flies south to confront her. All well and good. But Lausanne decides she must also go out of the country to confront the woman. Improbable. How many woman living on the edge of poverty have a passport? Plus, it takes a visa to enter Brazil. Who researched this?
This was a promising series. But the promise is gone.

1 out of 5 stars another like the others.......2006-11-22

yes, this is another like the others. big macho man falls for a whinny, oh poor me woman. i knew after the third chapter who the murder was and then made myself go thru the book (hoping she'd get herself together or he'd get tired of her) to prove myself right. it took me a week of reading to do it. the protector series started out good and now are just boring. the women are the same, no back bone and stump dumb. i mean, she constantly gets into trouble and just continues to create situations to do it again. i've finally got tired of it and won't be reading anymore of the series.

3 out of 5 stars What happened to Elsa?.......2004-03-30

In the previous book of the series Elsa was a very likeable character; independent, caring and trying to do her best with her orphaned brother. But in this book she became a sanctimonious, social climbing, money hungry snob.

Her goal was to marry a rich, powerful, socially respected man. Rafe was one of the good guys and understood what was important in life. It's a mystery why he was attracted to her.

I was really looking forward to this book and was very disappointed.

1 out of 5 stars what a waste of my TIME!!!.......2004-02-19

I am soooooo dissapointed in this book. It was one of the worst I EVER read. I am really surprised because I have read ALL of Beverly Bartons books and have enjoyed most of them (give or take a few. Do not waste your time or money. Read Grace Under Fire, The Protectors, The Eary Years or any other of the Protectors Series. They are very good and worth a read. If you really want to get into her books, read all of her novels, Every Move She Makes, What She Doesnt' Know, etc. They were EXCELLENT!

    Product Description

    Coastal Maine serves as the appealing backdrop for this charming but clichéd novel of romantic suspense from Chapman (The Seductive Imposter). When a lobsterman alerts state Assistant Attorney General Willow Foster to the presence of contaminants in Puffin Harbor, she begins a secret investigation. She's unofficially assisted by bar owner and former salvager Duncan Ross, whose offers of both marriage and passion she's been resisting since a one-night stand 18 months earlier. As the two explore both the corporate paper trail and the local seascape, Duncan reveals that he's actually a Scottish lord, while Willow is forced to grapple with her fear of commitment. The story's use of old-fashioned romantic conventions often seems silly in this modern context. Corporate polluters call their victims "Miss," while Duncan's sister's Internet lover arrives from New Zealand carrying family heirlooms to ask for permission to court. Chapman's mimicry of Duncan's brogue is also unfortunate, making him sound more like Popeye ("Can ya climb with yar splint?") than an aristocratic adventurer. This novel works best when it focuses on the timeless bonds between friends and family, community and place.

    Book Description

    Sniper Shot is the dramatic, suspense-filled debut novel about the ongoing and potentially deadly conflict between Ben Geller, primary sniper on the Stratton, Oregon Special Response Team and Bob Slater, the team's secondary sniper. Despite Slater's superior marksmanship, Geller is the primary sniper because Slater, a world-class long distance, high-powered rifle competitive shooter, lacks the patience and discipline needed to assume the position of primary sniper. Sniper Shot takes readers deep into the world of this special elite team, moving toward the kind of showdown nobody expects between Geller and Slater--one of them is a robber and murderer, and the game of cat and mouse between the two, sets up a taut, dramatic finale.

    4 out of 5 stars Deadly Rivalry Between Two Police Snipers.......2007-01-14

    Ben Geller and Bob Slater are the one and two snipers on a small town Oregon police Special Response Team. They don't get along. The relationship between them deteriorates dangerously. Geller is in a boring marriage. He has a six year old daughter. He seeks excitement in the company of an attractive female officer who has trained under him. The team is called out for a hostage situation where a young father has threatened to kill his infant daughter because he believes that she is the devil. Slater has the opportunity to shoot the father at the critical time and doesn't. Geller does. But his shot passes thru the wife's shoulder on the way to the primary target. Slater tries to cover up his inaction by saying the father had no gun at the time. As the plot continues Slater plans a hostage/ransom caper that will net him $15 million. He seems to have pulled it off. But, Geller puts together all the clues that lead to his nemesis. When Geller tries to tell his superiors his suspicions they think he has gone off the deep end. Slater kidnaps Geller's wife and daughter and leaves them to die in a sewer tunnel. Geller shoots Slater four times causing him to confess as to how he murdered his partner in the $15 million caper, and disclose the location of Geller's family. He then commits suicide. Geller is then put to trial by a liberal prosecutor for torturing the confession out of Slater. Naturally, Geller is not convicted. An auspicious first book from the author.

    5 out of 5 stars A Police and Robber Story With A Major Twist!.......2006-06-06

    Author Barry Ozeroff in his debut novel "Sniper Shot" takes the reader for a real thrill ride filled with intrigue and a series of unexpected twists. His book has all the markings of becoming a best seller. It has an intelligent plot and great characters that the author has done a good job fleshing out for the reader. This book is not filled with lots of moral messages but it is full of pure exciting entertainment adventure. This is a man's kind of book that can be read and enjoyed equally by a woman.

    My son is a police officer, so I had some idea of what that job is like. However, I did not have a clue as to what it might be like for officers on a special response team such as a sniper. The author writes with much authority and seems to understand the emotional liabilities that occupation might have on men under stress. The dialog is done well and does not feel contrived. This is a good old fashion adventure thriller to read and kill an afternoon or a night. Great suspense novel! A must read book!

    I'm guilty...I spent nearly an entire day to read the entire book in one sitting. I just couldn't put the book down. While I was not too surprised by the twists and turns I was captivated by the action and the character development. I was fully engrossed by this book, so much that I had to go hug my wife several times and tell her I loved her afterwards because I felt guilty just reading about Ben's actions in this book. I felt similar to the time I watched two complete seasons of the Sopranos in one setting! Anyway, I definitely can't wait until his next book.

    Book Description

    In Webster County, where a ruthless sniper is claiming victim after victim, a media circus is in full swing with local TV reporter Sam Stevens at its center. But despite his beleaguered personal life, Sam wouldnt rather be doing anything other than working this grim, gruesome assignment, even complementing his coverage with a series entitled Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer based on interviews with a local prisoner. Obsessed with his work and trapped in a loveless marriage, the towns beloved, trusted reporter cant help fantasizing about escape, and as his research reveals the secrets of the crimes at hand, he begins to see a dark way out. Parting Shot takes on crime in an age when the media rules supreme. Its a breathless thriller, where a reporter and a killer are engaged in a lethal pas-de-deux with an unknowing, terrified community at their mercy. Jonathan Stone returns to top form here, with a story that blows like a freight train to its startling conclusion.

    4 out of 5 stars Serial sniper thriller filled with dark twists.......2007-06-17

    Having lived throught the Malvo/Muhammad beltway sniper attacks made reading PARTING SHOT a bit unnerving. Sam Stevens is an ambitious local TV reporter who gets the scoop of a lifetime covering the serial sniper case terrorizing "Webster County". Nine random victims have fallen from his surgically precise shots. Sam seethes with resentment married to his philandering wife Denise. Their ten-year-old son Tommy keeps them together. Meantime the local sheriff, Billy Wyatt, is in over his head with this nationally covered crime. The FBI is looking over Billy's shoulder as more victims fall prey to the sniper. Then Sam gets involved in a more personal way with the case. The twists are clever. I'd prefer more dialogue and action while less introspection and fewer adverbs. But that doesn't spoil this first-rate thriller.

    5 out of 5 stars page turner indeed.......2006-08-15

    This was my first book by Jonathan Stone and I was very impressed. I intentionally avoided the jacket notes or any reviews so I was a little surprised by the first twist. After that, I was hooked. This is a great thriller with twists and turns that surprise but never seem out of place. Stone is a master of plotting and pace. Once the story takes off, you won't put it down.

    4 out of 5 stars A Shot in the Heart of Our Conscience.......2006-07-22

    Readers of Jonathan Stone's work are familiar with his ability to weave diabolically complex and compelling mystery narratives that never reveal their astounding solutions and conclusions until the final plot twist occurs.

    In Parting Shot, Stone delivers his same master-puzzler story-telling and also twists the mystery genre itself. Instead of the usual battle between good and evil protagonists, Stone gives us a world of competing villains who grip and shake the moral sensibilities of the reader. Without the safe, simple and familiar context of good people pursuing bad people, Parting Shot portrays a fallen world that is more frightening, more engaging and ultimately more profound as criminality and morality run unchecked. By forgoing the standard dichotomy of cop and killer, Parting Shot implicitly shows how slim the line is that divides everyone from their shadow selves - and in this way Parting Shot evokes powerful and disturbing responses. Stone's tight, spare, taught prose rockets Parting Shot along, and fans can look forward to the trademark plot twists and masterly construction of story for which Stone is rightfully and repeatedly praised.

    Parting Shot delivers a shot to the heart of our conscience and moral sensibilities with impact and pure page-turning entertainment.

    4 out of 5 stars A Great Read.......2006-07-17

            4 out of 5 stars One Shot (Jack Reacher).......2007-09-02

            Five people die of gunshots as they leave work and the blame rests on a former military man trained as a sniper. The only person he asks to see is Jack Reacher. No one can find him, but not to worry for Jack is on his way to see the suspect. Jack happened to see the story on television and he's come to fulfill a promise he made the shooter, a man named James Barr.

            Jack soon realizes that there's more going on here and he decides to find out what it is. It puts him in danger as there are some nasty characters involved in this. It's a tale that keeps you on your toes and eagerly flipping pages to find out how Jack will get out the mess he's in this time. It's a good read, but I've liked a few of the other Reacher books better.

            5 out of 5 stars Lee Child the Storyteller.......2007-08-23

            Jack Reacher is Superman, Capt. Marvel, Capt. Midnight, Batman, and Ellery Queen. Should Mr. Childs sell the rights to his Jack Reacher novels - - - Reacher should be played by James Galdofini. Can't miss. You can not put this book down. It has all the excitement one needs for an evening of high adventure.

            5 out of 5 stars Splendid!.......2007-08-11

            All of Lee Child's books are outstanding. I look forward to every new book and then share them with my cousin who lives in a very rural area.
            The amusing thing was that she emailed me to ask if I had read any of the great "Jack Reacher" books.
            I sincerely hope he keeps up the outstanding writing.

            3 out of 5 stars Obtuse Plot but Good Summer Read.......2007-07-29

            Jack reacher works his way through the plots twists and turns looking for what really happened in what at first glance is an open and shut case. I didn't know the Army's Criminal Investigative Division was the breeding ground for semi-superhuman heros but if the author says so it's OK by me. I think of them as E-7's and WO's trying, without much success, to find stolen PC's at Camp Swampy. The hero takes more punishment than any 5 people could stand but still comes back kicking. A nest of Russian former Gulag inmates are his nemises and they are almost, I say almost, up to Jack's level of stoic accomplishment.

            5 out of 5 stars Jack's the Man!.......2007-06-13

            I get seriously hooked into Child's novels, and the Reacher series is captivating. Great entertainment!!
