Customer Reviews

One of my favorite books!

I really enjoyed this book and had never read books from this particular author before. The book was so great, that I have been searching for some of her other titles. I would definitely recommend this book. I couldn't put it down!

ANOTHER WINNER FOR CARLA NEGGERS

Gotta say right up front, Carla Neggers is one of my most "favorite" authors.........been reading her since she began writing category romances, all those years ago ...and, she hasn't let me down yet!! Her newest book, The Waterfall, has something for everyone - - great dialogue (especially between Lucy and her kids), beautiful setting, very realistic and likeable hero/heroine, suspense, and of course, romance..........Now who could ask for more?? Three years ago when her husband died, Lucy moved herself and her two children from Washington, DC to a quaint farmhouse in Vermont. She owned an "adventure" travel agency and was planning on taking a tour to Costa Rica, but forcing herself to make a stop in Wyoming first, to see Sebastian Redwing, her husband's friend and security agent........Colin Swift had made Lucy promise that if she ever was in trouble, she would go to Sebastian..........and, with all the bizarre happenings lately, she had no other choice......she had been getting late-night phone calls and hangups, and a bullet was found inside her car..... Sebastian had loved Lucy for years even though he didn't let her know.........and even though he was hesitant to help, he did go back to Vermont to protect her and find out who was the culprit...... We know who the villain is from the beginning, but it doesn't detract from the wonderful read.......it builds up to a great climatic ending.. This author not only uses cute one-liners, she draws the reader right into the story.......I felt as though I was Lucy, feeling her emotions - her fears - her happiness......... Hooray for Carla once again!! Each new book of hers becomes my "favorite."

I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN !

THE WATERFALL is a powerful story. The characters are right on. I laughed out loud on several occasions because Lucy's children are just like mine! I cried along with the Senator and was scared right along with Lucy. Carla Neggers put me right in Vermont, right in the story, and I couldn't put it down. That's how I identify a five-star book. I have been a fan of Neggers for years and as always when I finish one of her books, I can't wait for the next to come out. Plato's story, I hope!

Excellent mystery/romance!

What I like most about Carla Neggers books is that she makes the humans in all her books seem very ordinary and very real. This book is no exception. It is a combination mystery, suspense and of course romance. I liked the main characters, Lucy, Madison, & Sebastian immediately but also became involved with the Senator, Plato & Sidney. This is a good read, good storyline and fast paced enough that you will not be able to put it down until done. I highly recommend this book.

Her best work yet-Plenty of suspense and humor

Three years have passed since Collin died from a brain aneurysm, but his widow Lucy Blacker Swift and their children feel as if that was a lifetime ago. They left DC to live in a Vermont farmhouse where she runs a travel business for those seeking an adventurous vacation. The move has allowed Blacker to stay outside the "Beltway" influence of her father-in-law, a US senator.When someone begins to stalk Lucy, she rejects turning to her in-law for aid. Instead, heeding Collin's advice, she heads to Wyoming where Sebastian Redwing, an expert on security lives. Sebastian is burned out from his years of performing international investigations and security. However, he follows the only woman he ever loved back to New England to keep her and her children safe from a cold blooded killer with lethal intentions.Carla Neggers puts the emphasis on suspense with romance playing a secondary role, a change that will remind readers of the works of Sandra Brown but using Ms. Negger's personal writing style. The excellent characters are fully developed including the children. Readers will feel the emotional turmoil of the thirteen year-old girl and the impishness of her younger brother. This and the motivations behind the actions of the lead couple augment the tension filled story line that grips the audience from start to finish. The wonderfully wry THE WATERFALL is going to be watershed mark in the rising and expanding career of the talented Ms. Neggers.Harriet Klausner
