The chemistry between Kilraven and Winnie was not there. I felt more chemistry between Jon Blackhawk and his secretary. This was not one of Diana's better books. I have some of her older books as well as her newer books and her older ones are much better. She has tried to bring to many past characters into her new books and it is taking away from the story. I fel totally ripped off having to pay hardcover price for one of her worst showings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951562957483519143.post-9390058244450652122010-05-04T08:33:29.035-07:002010-05-04T08:33:29.035-07:00@Connie,

But unless they're Mike's Hard Lemonade, it's generally all women. Definitely not a world-weary cop. <br /><br />And I'm not normally so snarky, but this book was an insult. And to think the pubs are marketing this as a hardcover--when those are so rare for the romance genre--just peeves me off even more.Buriedbybooks https://www.blogger.com/profile/13945897945845383252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951562957483519143.post-21680800997401503272010-05-03T21:37:53.141-07:002010-05-03T21:37:53.141-07:00You'd be surprised at how many people (so many...You'd be surprised at how many people (so many of them in my family--ugh!) are still into wine coolers. *hangs head*<br /><br />Great review!

You know, that is entirely possible. Bu...@Magdalen<br /><br />You know, that is entirely possible. But you'd think *someone* would have done some serious copyediting here. Or at least noticed how truly awful it was and not chosen THIS book to be released as a hardcover. <br /><br />She obviously still has a fan base somewhere, but I can't see even the sometimes culturally isolated grandmothers not noticing something wrong with this one.Buriedbybooks https://www.blogger.com/profile/13945897945845383252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951562957483519143.post-55696852144111060142010-05-01T05:20:10.874-07:002010-05-01T05:20:10.874-07:00My guess?

She wrote the book 30 years ago (when, uh, wine coolers were generally available) then dusted it off, "activated" some more modern bits, and sold it.<br /><br />At least that's the best defense I can come up with absent reading the book, and I'm not going to do that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
