BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ!!!

I recieved this book as a freebie about 2 years ago, and recently when I ordered another one, they sent it again. I decided I would give it a try, though very skeptical. This book is by far the best I have ever layed my hands on. I was going through the book so fast that I had to force myself to stop reading it because I didnt want the book to end. I dont think I can read another book because I'm sure nothing can compare to this work of art. When I finished the book I was sad because I knew there was nothing left! I just finished it today and I'm already thinking about the book! All I can say is that this book is worth every minute you spend reading it!

Super, SUPER GOOD BOOK

If I could have given this book a 10, I would have. It took place in my New Orleans, my home town (or should I say city). She is the first author who writes about N.O. and gets the streets, etc. correct. The romance is very good, as was the mystery. I read Shocking Pink and felt she could not write one as good as that one, but how wrong I was. I still have 3 more of her books to read and I am looking forward to all of them. If you pick up a book by Erica Spindler, you CANNOT GO WRONG. If you notice, all of her books got 5 star ratings. Well, one got 4 1/2*'s. I cannot recommend enough that you pick up on one (no, on all of her books). You WON'T be sorry.

Great Book- I never even heard of Erica Spindler

This is an excellent book. It has you wondering the whole time what is going to happen next. It's so hard to put it down.

Another winner by Erica Spindler!

This is the fourth book I've read by Ms. Spindler and it's as good as her other books. This story is about the legacies of the Pierron and St. Germaine women. It's ironic that the women who commit the sins of passion are considered good-hearted and compassionate, yet the woman who goes to church and preaches cleanliness and good is the most evil of all. This book has a lot of passion without being sleazy and carries with it a tremendous amount of emotion, guilt, and regret. Ms. Spindler did a terrific job with this book and that is why she is one of my favorite authors! I look forward to her next novel to come out.

I couldn't read it fast enough!

I got this book in the mail because I do mail orders. It was a freebee, I never thought I would read it. I've never been one to read romace that's what soaps are for. Santo's captured heart! The twists and turns of the story kept me captivated with suspense I couldn't put it down. Before I would stop reading for the night I would glance ahead a chapter or two to see what would come next, then I'd be reading for another 2 hours or so. Stanto's, Glory, Liz and especially Hope all having such different lives but they were more connected than anyone could ever imagine! I am anxious to read more from Erica Spindler!!!
