The Seductive Imposter

Janet Chapman is my new favorite author. This book is wonderful. It grabs you from the start and keeps you going. I couldn't put it down. The characters are so fascinating. Where are all these guys? I am ready to move to Maine.

adventure and romance

I enjoyed this book from cover to cover. This story takes place on the coast of Maine. Rachel the main character is still grieving over the deaths of her parents. When she finds out her father an architect had given both her and her sister(Willow) stolen items as gifts. She tries to return the items to the house, where the items were taken. However, she is surprised by the early arrival of the new owner, a man who is rather mysterious with secrets of his own. There are many enjoyable and even funny parts to this book. One of my favorites is when Willow tries to drive a new/borrowed truck. If you like romance, adventure or even a good mystery. I think you will like this book.

Secret Rooms and Stolen Treasures

An amazing novel from Janet Chapman. The main character, Rachel, grew up apprenticing to be an architect like her father. Together they built a truly "smart" mansion to house a local man's treasures. When her parents and the man die in a murder-suicide/love triangle mess in the house, Rachel abandons the house and her passion for architecture. The book opens with the local man's heir coming to town three year's after the tragedy to claim his fortune. At the same time, Rachel finds out that the local man also brokered in stolen treasures and gave many to her father. He tells Rachel, via a note left with their attorney, that he built secret rooms for the illegal goods in both her house and the smart mansion. Rachel tries to sneak in to put the stolen goods in the mansion's vault for the new heir to deal with, but is caught. Rachel and the heir (Kee) partner to solve the mystery of the stolen goods and some legitimate treasures missing from the mansion, but they both hold back on the other. Kee resembles a modern day pirate, complete with crew and an adorable five year old daughter. Rachel is in desparate need of an adventure. Together they fall in love, find the bad guys, recover the treasures, and still find time to entertain the town. You won't be able to put this book down, it is a truly enjoyable read.

Katherine

This was a great read, couldn't put it down. The Hero is described in the book as a 'demigod' and I'll go with that description! the heroine was also smart, sassy and sweet. This was the first of ms chapman's books I have read, but have since purchased all of her books!!! I fully anticipate some happy reading ahead! Don't miss out.

Great romance

In Puffin Harbor, Maine, Rachel Foster is unhappy to learn that the owner of Sub Rosa, the seaside mansion she and her father designed, is coming to take up residence. Rachel knows that the mansion is the place where tragedy ended in the murders of her mother and their parents' best friend by their father who committed suicide right afterward. However, she learns that her father and his former pal had been art thieves stealing millions and her dad has left it up to her to rectify the situation anyway she wants.The new owner Keenan Oakes and his five male disciples arrive as Rachel sneaks into the building. He catches her, but she temporarily escapes. Kee forces the issue of Rachel staying with him and his men allegedly to help them open up the state of the art technological house, but in reality he wants to keep an eye on her and not just because he does not trust her. As Rachel and Kee fall in love, he has kept secrets from her while she fears that once he learns her deepest concerns involving her father he will end their relationship.This is an engaging romantic suspense that has several late surprising twists that will keep readers guessing on who did what to whom. The story line is at its best when Kee and Rachel battle even as they fall in love with one another. Hopefully, future tales starring the disciples and her sister will be coming soon as Janet Chapman seduces her audience with enjoyable tale.Harriet Klausner
