The Greatest Sin Would Be Not Reading It September 20, 1999
Patricia Rosemoor continues her "Seven Sins" series (though, judging from the cover, Harlequin is trying to downplay that fact), this time tackling the sin of greed. The most interesting element of greed this book raises is how readers hoping to borrow a copy from a friend will find those friends unwilling to give it up-greedily wanting to keep it for themselves. From a sizzling first encounter between the leads to the final showdown, Rosemoor easily juggles suspense, emotion, and some big moral dilemmas. She also indulges in that dastardly authorial trick, having something dramatic happen, then keeping us on our toes f.o..r..e..v..e..r before letting us know what happened, leaving you no choice but to keep reading long after you intended. Good luck putting this one down. Easily the best of the "Seven Sins" books, "Cowboy Justice" leaves great hope for the three installments left to come.
I wasn't sure whether I had already read this until I got a couple chapters in, when I was sure that I had. It was a good quick read. According appropriately with generic expectations, the novel also offered a bit of mystery and action and a strong, capable female protagonist, and it only stretched plausibility a couple of times.
