Customer Reviews

Great Read!

Aunie Franklin is battered, physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, she is not the "typical" rescue-me female seen in some romantic suspense novels. Aunie does not have a history of being abused, and got out straightaway. She is young, intelligent, and capable...and did I forget to mention, beautiful? She has learned that she cannot exist on her looks, which is what her parents and surrounding family brought her up to do. James Ryder is, in his words, "an ex-tenement rat" that has ended up taking care of everyone's problems, and he's done with that. Needless to say, he was not happy to find Aunie renting an apartment in his building. James is a wonderful man, strong, intelligent, and willing to do what needs to be done to take care of those he loves...even when he thinks that what he'd like most is to be left alone. Lola and Otis Jackson are strong, wonderful supporting characters. Otis and James grew up together. Lola (Otis' wife, just in case that wasn't clear) is the apartment manager of James' building. They are strong and well fleshed-out characters - and add greatly to the storyline. Mary is a secondary character that also adds to the storyline. This book is about Aunie and James, and Lola and Otis, to a lesser degree - and how they grow, become stronger and learn to love each other. There is a villain of the piece - I'm sure you've guessed - Aunie's ex-husband. As with all books I love, there is a depth of emotion and growth, along with the requisite happy ending!

Second only to Exposure

A riveting read - second in hot sex, suspense, terrific character development,romance and fun to her novel "Exposure".I thoroughly enjoyed her use of dialect - didn't find it excessive (Exposure went a little overboard with the cher amies).I couldn't put this book down - very suspenseful and loved the hot sex scenes!

Wow! What a wonderful book

This was the best book I have read in a long time. It was suspensful and full of "real life" situations. The romance was delightful and not just mush like some other books. I have recommended this to all of my friends. WOW!

HARD TO PUT DOWN!

I absolutely loved this book! The story was great and I especially loved the chemistry between the two main characters. I also liked all the other characters as well. I am looking foward to Susan Andersen's next book.
