When Dana learns that her grandfather is dead, and the police consider it a homicide, she heads to Antigua to find out who is responsible for taking his life. She moves into her grandfather?s... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Wow! I picked up this novel while on vacation and couldn't put it down. I love how the characters were developed and their stories woven together, and completely identified with Kelly and her internal monolog...but I also wanted to jump in and shake her a little. Elaine Busby does a great job of giving the readers insight into the life of a reporter and a taste for the life in the Northwest. Like others have said, it's a steamy and engrossing read!
What a great read!

Burning Questions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is probably my favorite romance novel, ever. I simply could not put it down. Looking forward to Elaine Busby's next novel. Steamy, intriguing, fast moving and so well written. You must read this.
Elaine Busby's first novel is a fictional account of a features reporter for a local TV station, who is pressed into duty covering a suspicious and devastating fire at a large Portland candy factory. Busby does a magnificent job developing the complex characters that make up the story - so much so that the reader feels like we know their inner most thoughts, personalities, values, insecurities & dreams well before book's end.. We are taken along for a wild ride through Portland Oregon's sights and sounds, best restaurants, parks, waterfront and vistas which are masterfully woven into this seductive tale of lust, later love consummated with an almost how to manual of sexual eroticism. (Busby could teach a human sexuality improvement class with her "anatomically correct" descriptions of Kelly and Steve's romance in Chapter 16). Busby captivates the reader until the mystery is solved with a totally unexpected conclusion but leaves room for a sequel, which is all but guaranteed. A chapter about "Wednesday's Child" - possibly drawn from Busby's real life exposure to victimized and abused children is a real tear jerker giving the protagonist emotional depth and empathy. This novel will appeal to anyone who is curious about what goes on behind the camera and talking heads of a modern TV newsroom. It is here Busby brings her considerable professional TV experience to bear in bringing to light the frenetic, high pressure, competitive, behind the scenes environment, the viewer and reader are usually kept in the dark about. Burning questions is more than a steamy romance novel. It's a work of fiction but one that is obviously drawn from real life experiences and that does more than just entertain. It provides fascinating insight into the heart, mind and psyche of today's high intensity TV journalist, whilst giving the reader new reasons to explore the Oregon coast and the Rose City. I recommend this book highly but don't leave it around where your teenager might find it. You might not ever get it back!
