Once again, New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers masters the nonstop suspense and pulse-pounding romance that keep her millions of readers up all night. Vermont newspaper editor Cozie Hawthorne is astounded by the money she makes when her collection of Yankee essays becomes a bestseller. But that doesn't mean she'll let success go to her head: she still drives a rusted Jeep and lives in a house -- built in 1790 -- that seems more amenable to bats than it does interesting men. Daniel Foxworth, renegade son of the Texas oil Foxworths, specializes in putting out chemical fires. At least he did until someone sabotaged his helicopter and almost killed him. The prime suspect is Cozie's brother, Seth, and evidence is piling up as fast as attraction is growing between Daniel and Cozie. When she finds out that the sexy Texan is out to prove her brother's guilt, Cozie is determined to find out who's really after Daniel. But as danger mounts, Daniel faces an even greater challenge: winning Cozie's trust...before someone ends up dead. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This is my second attempt at reading Neggers' works, and while she is a competent writer and her plotlines have potential, there is something missing. In this case, the romance does not fully live up to expectations, and the stalker storyline is predictable.
To begin with, there is a significant imbalance in the amount of backstory for the heroine as compared to the hero. In contrast to Cozie, whose childhood and family life are well-detailed, there is very little information about Daniel other than his family's wealth and his dare-devil nature (which is not on display in the book).
Daniel and Cozie are both likable characters, but their attraction is not believable, and the fact that Daniel is lying about his identity puts a damper on the relationship.
In terms of the suspense, the identity of Cozie's stalker is obvious, and the motive is convoluted and non-sensical. There is also no sense of closure as readers do not learn what happened to the villain after they were caught.
Overall, this book confirms that Neggers is not the writer for me. (
