There wasn't enough substance to the book, I was disappointed. It sounded so good... I thought for sure I'd get the rest of the series (so Crystal, let me know what you think when you read the rest). I, too, liked the way they kept dodging each other, and the banter was slick, but other than that, it was lacking... hugely. And the ending... What the hell was that?

I thought this was just all right. I went into it expecting just a romance, so I wasn’t expecting much out of the plot.

Really, this was very thin on plot, and the conclusion was too neat and tidy for my tastes.

Bk 1 of 4 related books about the Donovans.
If someone is interested in espionage, romance and murder mysteries related to gem dealing, it's a good enough book to enjoy.
It is typical of Lowell's writing, similar main characters, plot is ok, seems well detailed and thought out, with decent twists, and supporting/antagonistic characters.

I absolutely adored this book. The first two are my favorites, but after that, they seem to go down hill. My least fave being Midnight in Ruby Bayou. Though I'm still hoping (crosses fingers) that she'll change her mind and write Justin & Lawe's stories.

Fictional drama, love story between a strong man & woman. I did learn alot about the history of Amber and what it means to the Russians. Easy, entertaining read.

This Donovan family is my favorite of her series- I think they still have a few family members she could write about. Wish she would--
