Overall pretty good

Overall this was a pretty satisfying book from the Heather Graham collection. The suspense was tight and non-stop; the mystery was cleverly woven and multi-layered, leading to a complex whodunit that left me guessing until they unveiled the villian. Even the romance was fairly well done most of the time - except that, once again (my pet peeve with romances) the romantic interests were always getting annoyed with one another over the most idiotic things. "What? You're concerned for my life and want to keep me safe?? You unspeakable CAD!! I hate you now!!" *sigh* Then they would get along. Then . . "What? You neglected to tell me your life story the instant we met?? You unspeakable CAD!! I hate you now!!!" ARGH!! Why do romance novelists feel the need to do that? So, therefore, I must reduce my rating to 4 stars. Otherwise, I enjoyed the rest of the story a great deal.

Not Your Average Suspense Read!!!

We return to the dance floor with Ms. Graham's latest effort and this time around things are a little bit different. Doug O'Casey is back as our hero and has his work cut out for him. Kelly Trent is plays the role of Marla Valentine on the hit soap Valentine Valley. She has had a few near misses, and when the last one leads her to the edge of a cliff literally, the powers that be at the soap decide that it would probably be best if Kelly took a breather. Enter the idea of having Kelly participate in a music video. Great, Kelly is on board until she realizes that she will have to dance...again literally. Problem with this is she can't dance...a step. Thinking that this time she might just be over her head, her agent finds dance instructor ex-cop Doug O'Casey. Doug is going to play a dual role. He is going to dance with Kelly in the music video, and he is going to play bodyguard. Someone really wants Kelly dead and the suspects are numerous. But, will Kelly accept that she is in trouble, and that Doug is her best bet to survive? What will happen when the dance is over...will they follow through and allow the chemistry between them to flourish, or will a killer get in the way? I loved the tension and interaction between Doug and Kelly. It's sassy and fun and entertaining. As per usual Ms. Graham thinks outside the box and she has come up with a very different vehicle for this story. With plenty of possible baddies to choose from the reader will be left guessing who wants Kelly dead. I enjoyed this read and recommend it as a nice book to take to the beach.
