Anne Stuart was a new author for me but i will read more, I loved the down on her luc...
The freebie prequel did its job: I want to read the series. Way, way too short. No time to connect with the characters, much less grow to care about them.
I had a sudden craving for historical romance and, lo and behold, an Anne Stuart trilogy was advertised on my Kindle. I decided to try it.Now, I’ve only ever read one other Anne Stuart book, but I do like her writing. I think she creates improbable, but satisfying stories and I figured I’d be get...

There is something to be said for rereads. I read this one more slowly this time, savoring the language and the scenes. I love dessert. It's my favorite meal. And I always eat my dessert very slowly.

4.5 stars. Just because :)I’ve had a bit of a run of “C” grade books recently, so I wanted my next read to be a bit of a pick-me-up. I haven’t read a huge number of Anne Stuart’s books, but I’ve enjoyed the ones I have read and I admit to having a rather large weakness for that whole starchy-s...

She’d met Randall Carter once before, years ago when Maggie was in the midst of her abortive career at the CIA. She hadn’t liked him then, and she didn’t really like him now.

It was a slip, but he was always good at fast responses. “His name is on his collar,” he said, pretending he wasn’t looking at her. He couldn’t keep his eyes off her. Five years. Five endless years.He’d seen photos of her, surveillance video. There’d never been a time when he hadn’t known exactly...
Her neck felt stiff, paralyzed, and when she tried to turn it, streaks of agony shot through her body.

He seldom did—his own instincts usually served him well—but this time his editor had been adamant, and he was footing the bill, as well.“You’ve got to get to New York for the memorial service,” Gregory had insisted. “Just to check out the lay of the land. You can stay undercover—we have camera cr...
He must have felt her startle awake. He gripped her tighter and growled in her ear: “If you put up a fuss I’ll drop you and let you roll down two flights of stairs. And while I might find the sight amusing and potentially interesting, I don’t think you’d enjoy it.” “So instead we get to reenact G...
And for those of you who didn't— well, you know who you are. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I couldn't have done this without Jill Barnett and Barbara Samuel holding my hand and slapping me upside the head for being an idiot. I have to thank Bastien for inspiring me, blow a kiss to Clive Owen and say a specia...

He double-checked its contents. A change of clothes. His Glock and silencer, just in case. He tucked the knife in one of the black boots he wore, yanking the jeans over the bone handle. He’d planned carefully, as always, and it wouldn’t take long. He’d have more than enough time to return he...

“So the little gringa was everything she said she was.” He moved further into the room, but Maddy noted with distant relief that he hadn’t bothered to close the door behind him, and his hands were tucked in his belt, far away from the lethal-looking knife. “That must have come as quite a surprise...
