Customer Reviews

Sexy, Scandelous and Impossible to put down....Perfect!

I loved this book. It's the first, and only, Ann Majors book I have read, but I will definately pick up more of her books if this one is any indication of her talent. The scandal is earth shattering for the characters and the romance is hot. The drama isn't lacking either. It'll keep you guessing to the end. If you want a sexy, romantic suspense that's easy to read, this one's for you!

It could happen to you

Although this is a romance and the heroine, Rosie, eventually comes to her senses and TRUSTS the cute cop, Nash, that she's known for years and who is the unknown father of her rebellious child, the story is much more detailed. Circumstantial evidence and no alibi--scary, since it could happen to any of us--to her former fiance's murder set Rosie on a course for diaster. She must learn to trust Nash, who also is the investigating detective on the case. Ann Major drops subtle hints about who the real killer s, but she intertwines them with other characters who also make good suspects. She keeps the reader wondering right up until the last few pages...and even then, Rosie's life, and her granddaughter's, hang in the balance. A very good read.

A Fabulous Read

This book was a real page-turner, with a good mix of suspense and romance to keep me satisfied. I particularly liked the moments with Rose Marie's mother and her granddaughter. I highly recommend this solid romance.

strong whodunit romance

In Austin, Texas, someone murders plastic surgeon Dr. Pierce Carver. Austin Homicide Detective Michael Nash leads the investigation into the slashing killing of the renowned physician whose hands were tied together with a black bra that the cop assumes belongs to nurse Rose Marie Castle, a woman both men knew intimately. Michael quickly learns that Rosie was the last person to have seen her late fiancé alive with their parting being an argument and a broken engagement. She is a prime suspect having motive, means, and opportunity. However, so did Carver's former wives, his business associate, and just about anyone who met the arrogant but gifted plastic surgeon. Knowing she is a prime suspect and not trusting her former boyfriend to look elsewhere, Rosie begins her own investigation, quite amateurish. She gets in Michael's face and he is bothered because he still wants her. Combining an amateur sleuth thriller with an urban police procedural, Ann Major provides her audience with a strong romantic suspense tale. The story line is action-packed though some slapstick moments seem intrusive while lessening the tension. Still the suspense hooks the audience wanting to know what twist comes next and whether the lead couple will end up together handcuffed in or out of bed. THE SECRET WIVES OF DOCTORS' WIVES is a strong whodunit romance. Harriet Klausner
